This ticket is a revocable license, and the holder of this ticket, on behalf of the holder and any accompanying minor, including a minor holding a separate ticket (individually and collectively, the “Holder”), agrees to all of its terms.  The Holder agrees that this ticket license is subject to these terms and conditions, as well as any additional terms and conditions established by the Group, Las Vegas Basketball, LP and/or its affiliates (the “Team”), the Women’s National Basketball Association and/or its affiliates (the “WNBA”), and any operator of the arena or related arena grounds (including, without limitation, parking areas and entry gates) (the “Arena” or “Venue”) at which the event or any surrounding activities (in whole or in part) for which this ticket is issued (the “Event”) is held (collectively, all such additional terms, “Supplemental Terms”). The ticket is valid only for the Event, date, time, and set location issued. Holder must possess Ticket to enter the property listed on the Ticket. Ticket will not be replaced, refunded, or exchanged.  By acceptance and/or use of this ticket and/or entering (or seeking entry into) the Arena, the Holder is deemed to have read all such terms and agreed to be bound by them. Failure to comply shall terminate Holder’s rights hereunder and authorize Group to withdraw Ticket, refuse admission, or eject Holder, all without refund, and subject Holder to all available legal remedies. Holder agrees:

  1. LIABILITY LIMITATION: HOLDER ASSUMES ALL RISK AND DANGER OF INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH), FROM ANY CAUSE, RESULTING FROM, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE EVENT. HOLDER AGREES THAT THE GROUP (DEFINED BELOW) SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE EVENT, HOWEVER CAUSED (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE). HOLDER AGREES TO FOREVER RELEASE GROUP FROM ANY SUCH CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGE, OR INJURY. “GROUP” MEANS, COLLECTIVELY AND INDIVIDUALLY: (I) THE VENUE; (II) MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL; (III) LAS VEGAS ARENA COMPANY, LLC; (IV) LAS VEGAS BASKETBALL L.P.

  2. This ticket and the Holder’s admission to the Arena are subject to all safety and health requirements and policies relating to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and any resulting disease (together with any mutation, adaptation or variation thereof, collectively, “COVID-19”) put in place by the Group, Team, WNBA, and Arena, including those policies and requirements described in the Supplemental Terms.  Such policies and requirements as they may be updated from time to time (in the sole determination of the Group, Team, WNBA and/or Arena) and as they may be communicated to the Holder prior to or during the Event (whether orally or in writing) by, for example, instruction provided by Team or Arena personnel or signage in or around the Arena, are collectively referred to below as the “Safety Requirements.” The Holder acknowledges and agrees to comply with the Safety Requirements (including all requirements that must be satisfied prior to or during the Event), and acknowledges and agrees that attendance at the Event is conditioned on such compliance.

  3. The Holder agrees, on behalf of the Holder and Holder’s Related Persons (defined below), that the Holder and each such other individual will not attend the Event if any such individual has been directed by a healthcare provider or public health authority to quarantine, isolate, or otherwise refrain from interacting with members of the public due to a diagnosis of or exposure to COVID-19 or any illness or other medical condition.

  4. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. YOU HAVE THE LIMITED RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS PARAGRAPH AS SET FORTH BELOW. THIS IS A SUMMARY OF MANDATORY TERMS. For full terms related to dispute resolution, please visit https://www.wnba.com/terms-of-use, which terms you agree will apply. Should any current or future dispute, claim or cause of action related to this ticket or the Event arise between the Holder and the Team, WNBA, or Arena, a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) must be sent with the following information:  (i) name, contact information (address, telephone number, and email address), and account information if applicable; (ii) a description of the nature and basis of the dispute; and (iii) a description of the nature and basis of the relief sought, including a calculation for it.  If the Holder has a dispute, they shall send the Dispute Notice to tickets@lasvegasaces.com. The Holder and the Team, WNBA, and/or Arena agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for at least 60 days (the “Negotiation Period”) following receipt of the Dispute Notice.  If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within the Negotiation Period, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) and heard by a single, neutral arbitrator.  The NAM Rules shall govern the payment of all arbitration fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Team will consider a request to reimburse your portion of the arbitration fees upon a showing of hardship in its sole discretion and assuming you do not qualify for a waiver from NAM. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide except the following items (which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide): (i) issues that are specifically reserved for a court; (ii) issues related to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provisions; and (iii) whether a dispute can or must be brought in arbitration.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE HOLDER, ARENA, TEAM AND WNBA AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE HOLDER, ARENA, TEAM AND WNBA WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.  There are also additional procedures for “mass filings,” as set forth in the NAM Rules. In addition, these terms and any disputes between you and the Arena, Team, and/or WNBA will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the state and federal courts of Las Vegas, Nevada shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes between you and the Arena, Team, and/or WNBA (except for disputes brought in small claims court) that are not subject to arbitration.  IF THE HOLDER DOES NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, THE HOLDER MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE OR NOT ENTER THE ARENA. You have the right to opt out of arbitration under these Terms by sending the Team a personally signed, written notice of your decision to opt out via email to tickets@lasvegasaces.com within thirty (30) days of purchase of your ticket.  Such an opt out will not opt you out of an arbitration agreement you might otherwise have with the Arena, Team, and/or WNBA.

  5. To ensure that all Event patrons agree to, and comply with, all Safety Requirements and all other WNBA, Team and Arena rules, this ticket may not be resold or offered for resale on any platform other than a platform expressly authorized by the Team or the WNBA. Without limiting the foregoing, any transfer of this ticket to any person who fails to satisfy any Safety Requirement (including pre-Event requirements established by the Team Org Arena) may be voided by the Team and this ticket cancelled. Ticket may not be resold or offered for resale in violation of law or regulation. Violation thereof is grounds for seizure or cancellation without refund. Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be invalid, lost, stolen, or counterfeit, and if so, are void.

THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (IF ANY) if admission is refused or revoked, or the Event is cancelled and not RESCHEDULED, is a refund of up to the ticket’s face value set by the Team (the “Face Value”). IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TEAM, WNBA, OR ARENA BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR ANY DAMAGES BEYOND THE FACE VALUE OF THE TICKET, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMOUNT PAID IN EXCESS OF FACE VALUE FOR THIS TICKET.

The Event date and time (and gate opening), talent, participants, and roster are subject to change at the Team’s sole discretion without notice, and no such change shall entitle the Holder to a refund or other remedy if the Holder cannot attend or for any other reason. The Holder may be relocated in the Team’s sole discretion, and no such relocation shall entitle the Holder to a refund or other remedy if the Holder is relocated to a seat or location of comparable Face Value. Holder assumes the risk related to inclement weather (including injury or cancellation). During the Event, strobe lighting or theatrical smoke may be used.

  1. All photography, filming, and other recordings are PROHIBITED. Individuals in possession of a recording device are subject to confiscation and/or ejection. The Event is copyrighted. The Holder agrees not to create, transmit, distribute, misappropriate or sell (or aid in creating, transmitting, distributing, misappropriating or selling), in any media now or hereafter existing, any description, account (whether text, data or visual, and including (without limitation) play-by-play data), picture, photograph, image, video, audio, livestream or other form of exploitation or reproduction of the Event (collectively, “Event Works”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder agrees that by causing this ticket to be scanned upon entry, the Holder shall be deemed to have signed the ticket and granted to the Team and WNBA an exclusive worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to all rights associated with any Event Works.  This ticket may not be used for any form of commercial or trade purposes, including, but not limited to, advertising, promotions, contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, gambling or gaming activities, without the express written consent of the Team and WNBA.
