You may not attempt to conceal your identity by using multiple Internet Protocol addresses or email addresses to conduct transactions on the Site. You will not hold us liable if you do not comply with laws related to your transactions. We may provide law enforcement with information you provide to us related to your transactions to assist in any investigation or prosecution of you. If we are unable to verify or authenticate any information or tickets you provide during any registration, ordering, purchase, ticket posting, sale, authentication, delivery, payment or remittance process, or any other process, or if we are no longer able to verify or authorize your credit card or bank account information, your tickets may be canceled.

We may also prohibit you from using the Site.
10.3 - All ticket prices for our events are in United States Dollars, are non-refundable, and are non-transferable.

10.5 - We accept several methods of payment to purchase tickets to our events. We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover for our events. WARNING: There are unscrupulous ticket sellers who claim to be us and we cannot refund your money for purchasing tickets from unauthorized ticket sellers. Be sure that before you purchase tickets to our events that you are buying them from us or one of our authorized resellers. If you are unsure whether the ticket seller is authorized, please email us at legal@balldrop.com to confirm that the ticket seller is authorized. You hereby waive any and all claims and potential claims against Ball Drop and against any companies affiliated with Ball Drop relating to unauthorized ticket sales.
10.6 - If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm with us via e-mail to legal@balldrop.com or call us at 212-201-0735 to inquire whether or not your order has been placed.

10.7 - Tickets purchased on our Site are typically subject to a non-refundable per ticket service fee and a non-refundable per order processing fee. In many cases, delivery prices will also be owed. For resale tickets, the buyer will pay fees that may be reflected during the purchase process or that may be included and deducted from the amount displayed as the resale price of the ticket.
When purchasing tickets on our Site, you are limited to a specified number of tickets for each event (also known as a “ticket ceiling”). This ticket ceiling is posted during the purchase process and is verified with every transaction. This policy is in effect to discourage unfair ticket buying practices. We reserve the right to cancel any or all orders and tickets without notice to you if you exceed the posted limits. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or other information.

You assume all risks, hazards, and dangers arising from or relating in any way to the risk of contracting a communicable disease or illness—including, without limitation, exposure to COVID-19 or any other bacteria, virus, or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness, whether that exposure occurs before, during, or after the event, and regardless of how caused or contracted—and you hereby waive any and all claims and potential claims against Ball Drop and against any companies affiliated with Ball Drop relating to such risks, hazards, and dangers.
Ball Drop has no control over the venues’ Covid policies as such policies are set by each of its respective venue and are governed by state and local laws. You hereby waive any and all claims and potential claims against Ball Drop and against any companies affiliated with Ball Drop relating to whether an event is canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions or your entry into an event is disallowed.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.1 - Informal Dispute Resolution. If you have any issues or problems concerning the Site and/or the Services, we encourage you to notify us immediately at legal@balldrop.com so that we can attempt to resolve your issue. Most issues or problems can be resolved quickly and amicably. However, in the event that that you or Ball Drop or Ball Drop Representatives are unable to come to an amicable resolution within fifteen (15) calendar days of your submission, you or Ball Drop or Ball Drop’s Representatives may bring a formal proceeding.
16.2 - Formal Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration. You agree that any and all disputes will be submitted to and finally determined by arbitration as set forth in Sections 16.3 through 16.8 below. In such case, you would incur additional expense in connection with such arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding and neither Ball Drop and its Representatives nor you will have the right to appeal such decision, whether in a court or in another arbitration proceeding. You understand that, by agreeing to arbitrate disputes as provided in these Terms, you, Ball Drop, and Ball Drop’s Representatives are waiving any and all statutory and other rights that we may have to a trial by jury in connection with any such dispute, claim or controversy. You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by e-mailing us at optout@balldrop.com within thirty (30) calendar days of first accepting these Terms. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section and Sections 16.3-16.8; 16.10-16.11 and subject to Section 18, each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of the party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you, Ball Drop, and Ball Drop’s Representatives are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class User in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless you, Ball Drop, and/or Ball Drop’s Representatives agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
16.3 - Arbitration Procedures. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer_Demand_for_Arbitration_Form_3.pdf.
16.4 - A single arbitrator will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) calendar days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules are available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer-Related%20Disputes%20Supplementary%20Procedures%20Sep%2015%2C%202005.pdf or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. The arbitration will be conducted by one impartial arbitrator (who may be a former judge, practicing attorney or person who is not an attorney), selected by mutual agreement or, if you and Ball Drop cannot agree, the arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Rules.
16.5 - This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and will survive termination of these Terms. 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 Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement 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 these Terms as a court would.
16.6 - Arbitration Process and Applicable Law. Unless you and Ball Drop otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York by one arbitrator. If your claim does not exceed $25,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Ball Drop submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $25,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. The arbitrator will not award punitive damages to either party and you and Ball Drop will each be deemed to have waived any right to such damages. The arbitrator will, in rending his or her decision, apply the substantive law of the State of New York (excluding its choice of law rules that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction). The award of the arbitrator will be rendered within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. It will include a written explanation of his or her decision and specify the basis for any damages, which may include the costs and expenses of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. The arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above (Section 12) as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. The written decision of the arbitrator will be final, binding and non-appealable and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
16.7 - Arbitration Fees. Except for the limitations on fees as set forth in Section 16.6 above, your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. If your claim for damages is less than $75,000, however, Ball Drop will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
16.8 - Confidentiality. The arbitration proceeding will be confidential. The existence of any matter submitted to arbitration, and the award, will be kept in confidence by you, Ball Drop, and the arbitrator, except as required in connection with the enforcement of such award or as otherwise required by applicable law.
16.9 - Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or Ball Drop may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in New York or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit in any court solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Site and/or the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
16.10 - No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.
16.11 - Venue for Other Types of Disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Ball Drop agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of New York County. Both you and Ball Drop consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
17. ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS

18. MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms are governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the choice-of-law rules of that State. In accordance with Sections 16.9 and 16.11, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts of New York for resolution of disputes relating to or arising out of these Terms. In the absence of federal jurisdiction, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state court located in New York County, New York. You agree to waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. All disputes shall be resolved in the English language.
