If you are making a purchase on behalf of someone else, the Terms contained in this Policy shall also apply to that person(s) and it is your duty to inform such person(s) of this Policy. Please read this Policy carefully prior to purchasing any package to the Event via musicfoundationaz.org or any other authorized source (each, the “Ticketing Website”) and/or attending the Event. This Policy is subject to, and is in addition to, any other information posted by Producer and/or Ticketing Website, including, without limitation, our TERMS OF USE, our PRIVACY POLICY, and all applicable Ticketing Website policies. By purchasing a package to, and/or attending, the Event you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy as well as our TERMS OF USE and our PRIVACY POLICY. If you do not agree to these Policies, please do not attend the Event or purchase anything, or enter into any transaction with Producer. Be sure to return to this Policy periodically to review the most current version of the Policy.

Age Limits; Transaction Information; Revocable License; Refusal of Admission.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS, NO EXCHANGES, NO RESALE, NOT REDEEMABLE FOR CASH. The resale or attempted resale of any good, product or service at a price higher than that it was sold for is prohibited and if discovered will result in such good, product or service being voided without refund or other compensation. A package to the Event or any other related perk may not be used for advertising, promotion (including sweepstakes, contests and giveaways), or other trade or commercial purposes without the express written consent of Producer.

A ticket to the Event is a revocable license. We reserve the right, without refund of any portion of the price paid or other compensation to you, to refuse admission or to eject any person from the Event, and/or withdraw or refuse to begin services or provide goods to any person, who fails to comply with this Policy, the rules of an applicable third party, and/or applicable local, state or federal law or ordinance, in whole or in part, or whose conduct is deemed by us or the applicable third party as disorderly, annoying, illegal, vulgar, abusive, threatening, uncomfortable, aggressive, or out of compliance with this Policy or the applicable third party’s terms, conditions, rules or policies (all of the above in this sentence, collectively, “Removal Behavior”). Each and every guest who purchases or otherwise wishes to redeem their ticket for the Event must: (a) register themselves and their guests with the applicable Event website and/or guest dashboard during the period allotted to all Event guests for such registration; and (b) present proper identification for themselves and their guests upon arrival to the Event. In the event that any guest fails to perform either of the foregoing, we may, at our sole discretion and without refund of any portion of the price paid or other compensation, refuse any such guest’s admission to the Event, which may include, without limitation, refusal to provide Event credentials to any such guests.

Only guests officially registered through the guest dashboard may receive Event credentials. Valid and authorized guests must be physically present to receive Event credentials. No guest may retrieve any Event credentials on behalf of another guest who is not physically present for direct, physical receipt, even if the guest attempting to retrieve such credentials on behalf of the other guest was the primary purchaser of such credentials. Each guest agrees to provide any and all relevant information required by Music Foundation of Arizona in a timely manner, including, without limitation, airport information and other travel-related information, air travel delays for any flight(s), rescheduling of any flight(s), and/or any other travel-related delay. In the event that any guest fails to provide any such information to the satisfaction of Music Foundation of Arizona by the applicable deadline(s) provided by Music Foundation of Arizona or within a timely manner, as determined by Music Foundation of Arizona in its sole discretion, any such guest(s) may experience delays in their specific accommodations and transportation secured or otherwise arranged by Music Foundation of Arizona, including, without limitation, check in times and shuttle transportation pick-up and drop-off.

Cancelled or Postponed Events; Refunds.
The Event is a RAIN OR SHINE event, unless otherwise expressly noted in writing. Without limiting the foregoing, the location, date and time of an Event and any other elements of your purchase are subject to change (including, but not limited to, cancellation, postponement or relocation) by Music Foundation of Arizona, the Artist(s), venue owner or other third party responsible for the staging of an Event or other elements of your purchase (collectively, the “Organizers”), respectively, in each of their sole discretion, and no such change shall entitle you to a refund or any other remedy in the event that you cannot attend for any reason due to such change unless agreed to in writing by Music Foundation of Arizona. Any element of your purchase may be cancelled, postponed, delayed, altered, relocated or rescheduled at any time with or without notice in the Organizers’ sole discretion, as applicable, or due to the actions or events beyond the reasonably foreseeable control of the Organizers, the Organizers will not be liable to you or any other party because of any failure to perform hereunder due to fire, earthquake, rain, adverse weather conditions, flood, or any other acts of God, power failures, electrical or mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockout, work stoppages or other labor disturbances, governmental regulations or restrictions, terrorism, war, civil disturbances, epidemic, pandemic (including COVID-19), death or illness to any members, crew or family of the performing Artist(s), or any other cause or condition, whether known or unknown, or similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing, beyond the reasonably foreseeable control of the Organizers (“Force Majeure”). Delay in the performance of this Policy or the failure of Music Foundation of Arizona to perform or provide the element(s) of your purchase caused by any Force Majeure shall not constitute a breach of this Policy or a ground for cancellation, suspension or termination hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, postponement, relocation or cancellation of Events due to weather conditions or Force Majeure events is beyond our control and we will not issue any refund or exchange for such events, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Music Foundation of Arizona. If an event is cancelled for any other reason, refunds for purchase/ package will be made at the sole discretion of Music Foundation of Arizona or in accordance with the applicable law. Your purchase is considered as a “rain or shine” final purchase. If an Event is canceled, postponed or rescheduled we will not refund Music Foundation of Arizona expenses that you may have incurred as a result of your plans to attend the Event including, but not limited to, transportation expenses, hotel reservations, or rental car costs. We are not responsible for the actions of any other Organizers when an event is canceled.

It is your responsibility to verify information regarding rescheduled Event dates and times prior to attending. Without limiting anything set forth in this Section, your purchase of the package to the Event is not for a specific artist or aspect of the Event. Artists, schedules, production elements, vendors, art exhibits, amenities, and all other aspects of the Event are subject to change without notice and without grounds for refund.

Governing Law, Disputes, Including Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
Subject to the provisions of applicable law, this Policy is governed in accordance with the laws of Arizona, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Music Foundation of Arizona hereby expressly consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Maricopa County, Phoenix, Arizona, United States of America for the adjudication or disposition of any claim, action or dispute arising out of this Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Policy, You and Music Foundation of Arizona hereby waive any and all rights to a judicial determination of any dispute or claims related to this Policy, including the right to trial by jury, and any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action between the parties arising out of or concerning this Policy or any alleged breach thereof by either party, and agree to resolve any disputes or claims through binding arbitration. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to the products or services sold or distributed by us or through us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, with the following exceptions:

You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims apply;
In the event that the arbitration agreement in this Policy is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located within Phoenix, AZ, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
The arbitration agreement in this Policy is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), including its procedural provisions, in all respects. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the class action waiver discussed below. State arbitration laws do not govern in any respect.

This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and will survive termination of this Policy. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Policy, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Policy is void or voidable. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow this Policy as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Music Foundation of Arizona, PO Box 87947 Phoenix, AZ 85080. You may download the forms located at http://www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if applicable, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and any applicable supplemental rules including its Consumer Arbitration Standards of Minimum Fairness. The JAMS Rules are available online at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800)-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in Phoenix, AZ. In the event that the location of the Arbitration (Phoenix, AZ) is for any reason held to be unenforceable, the Arbitration shall take place in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

BY MAKING YOUR PURCHASE, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration section will be null and void and neither of us will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute. If any provision of this Policy shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Policy and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
