HOLDER ACCEPTS RISK OF ILLNESS AND/OR INJURY; AUTHORIZED RE-ENTRY ONLY.

By using a ticket (“Ticket”) to the Event (as defined below) at Progressive Field (or any other venue in which the 2024 Cleveland Guardians “home” games may be played) (collectively, and together with surrounding areas, including parking lots, the “Ballpark”), Ticket holder (“Holder”), on his/her/their own behalf and on behalf of (i) any minor accompanying Holder to the Event; and/or (ii) any other accompanying party for whom Holder retains a ticket to attend the Event with Holder (each of whom Holder represents have authorized Holder to act on their behalf in accepting the applicable Ticket terms) (collectively, an “Accompanying Party”), agrees to the following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”), which contains an AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. The Cleveland Guardians Baseball Company, LLC (“Club”) may change the terms of the Agreement at any time, without notice, and Holder’s and/or Accompanying Party’s use of the Ticket(s) after such change is posted will mean that Holder and Accompany Party accept such change(s). Holder is solely responsible for reading and understanding the Agreement before using the Ticket and/or those of any Accompanying Party.

Holder agrees that: (a) neither Holder nor any Accompanying Party will transmit or aid in transmitting any information about the game or event at the Ballpark to which the Ticket grants admission or any entertainment, attractions, warm-ups, practices, pre-event, post-event or between-inning/intermission activities, promotions, concerts or competitions offered in connection with the game or event at the Ballpark (collectively, the “Event”), including, but not limited to, any image, video, livestream, audio or other accounts or descriptions about the Event (collectively, the “Event Information”); (b) the Club, the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (“BOC”), and/or MLB Advanced Media, L.P., as applicable, is the exclusive owner of all copyrights and other proprietary rights in the Event and the Event Information; and (c) the Club, BOC, Major League Baseball Properties, Inc., MLB Advanced Media, L.P., The MLB Network, LLC, each of the other Major League Baseball Clubs (together with the Club, the “Clubs”), and each of their parent, subsidiary, affiliated and related entities, any entity which, now or in the future, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Clubs or the BOC and the owners, general and limited partners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing entities (collectively, the “MLB Entities”) and certain current and future sponsors and licensees of such MLB Entities will have the unrestricted right and license to use Holder’s image, likeness, name, voice, comments and/or other proprietary or public rights and/or those of any Accompanying Party in any live or recorded broadcast, telecast, photograph, video, audio, audiovisual and/or other recording taken in connection with the Event or other transmission, distribution, public performance, or reproduction in whole or in part of the Event, for all purposes, worldwide, in perpetuity, and in any and all media now or hereafter known, without compensation. The rights granted herein are assignable.

Holder and Accompanying Party are subject to the rules and policies of the Club, and Holder (i) consents on behalf of Holder and Accompanying Party to allowing the Club or its designated agents to inspect Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s person and/or any bags, clothing, or other articles for health, safety and security purposes, whether by walk-through metal detection, handheld metal detection, bag checks or other reasonable measures; (ii) consents on behalf of Holder and Accompanying Party to health-related conditions for attendance that are now or may later be established by MLB Entities or the Club, including any requirements pertaining to disease or virus testing, vaccinations, the wearing of masks and/or social distancing (the “Health-related Conditions”) and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that Holder and/or any Accompanying Party may be denied entry to or ejected from the Event if Holder and/or any Accompanying Party fail to adhere to Health-related Conditions and/or is/are in possession of any item or exhibit/exhibits any condition that the Club or MLB Entities consider potentially dangerous, hazardous, inappropriate and/or injurious to other patrons, and any prohibited items may be confiscated. Holder consents to health and security searches and/or screening of Holder and/or any Accompanying Party and waives any claims that Holder and/or any Accompanying Party might have against the Released Parties (as defined herein). Holder acknowledges that the Club has no liability for Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s person or property.

Each Ticket to an Event at the Ballpark is a limited, revocable license (the “Revocable License”) granted by the Club to attend the Event listed on the applicable Ticket. The Club reserves the right to terminate the Revocable License granted by the Ticket and/or those of any Accompanying Party prior to the time the Event actually takes place by tendering to Holder the purchase price printed on the Ticket(s). Further, the Club reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without refund of any portion of the purchase price, to revoke the Revocable License granted and refuse admission or eject any person (a) who violates the terms of the Agreement; (b) who appears to be or is intoxicated; (c) whose conduct is deemed by it to be improper, disorderly or unbecoming; (d) who uses vulgar, derogatory or abusive language; (e) who, in the sole judgment of the Club, is engaging in activity or causing a disturbance prohibiting attendees at the Event from enjoying the Event; (f) who refuses to comply with any Health-related Conditions; and/or (g) whose condition or conduct jeopardizes the safety of attendees at the Event.

ENTERING THE PLAYING FIELD, DISRUPTING AN EVENT AND/OR ATTEMPTING ANY PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH AN EVENT PARTICIPANT IS A CRIME PUNISHABLE BY FINE AND/OR IMPRISONMENT. VIOLATORS MAY BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.

TICKET PURCHASE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

Each individual or entity purchasing, acquiring and/or using a Ticket expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Club sells Tickets to an Event at the Ballpark for the purpose of permitting the purchasing individual or entity, or any subsequent Holder receiving a Permitted Transfer of such Ticket to attend the Event represented by the Ticket. As such, each individual or entity that purchases, acquires or uses a Ticket acknowledges to the Club that non-permitted transfers of Tickets (the “Ticket Transfer Restrictions”) may terminate the Revocable License granted by the Club for the usage of Ticket(s) or constitute a basis for the seizure or cancellation of the Ticket(s) without refund or other compensation.

For purposes of the Club’s Ticket Transfer Restrictions the following defined terms shall apply:

“Transfer(s)” shall mean any transfer of possession or use of a Ticket(s) by a Holder to a third party (in each instance whether such third party is a person or entity).

“Permitted Transfer” shall mean a Transfer that is authorized by or specifically exempted from these Ticket Transfer Restrictions.

“Non-Permitted Transfer” shall mean a Transfer specifically prohibited or determined by the Club to be unauthorized under these Ticket Transfer Restrictions.

“Resale” or “Resell” shall mean any Transfer of a Ticket in exchange for money or any other thing of value.

“Excess Value” shall mean the monetary value derived from the Resale of Ticket(s) in excess of (i) the price established by the MLB Entities or the Club when such Ticket(s) were sold or distributed by the Club, including any tax, service or convenience fees/charges charged by the Club and (ii) fees charged to the Holder in connection with such Resale transaction. Any Holder who needs assistance in determining the actual price of a Ticket may contact the Club to obtain such information.

“Broker Activity” shall mean any activity by an individual or entity to purchase or otherwise acquire Ticket(s) with the purpose or intent, as determined by the Club, to Resell the Ticket(s), including but not limited to the intent to realize Excess Value, as determined by the Club in its sole discretion. Broker Activity shall not include the use of a Ticket for any charitable or non-profit purpose.

By the acceptance, possession or use of a Ticket(s), each Holder (regardless of whether such Holder is the original purchaser of the Ticket(s) from the Club or an acquirer of the Ticket(s) from a third party), on his/her/their behalf and on behalf of any Accompanying Party, acknowledges and agrees to the following:

1. Any Broker Activity involving a Ticket, as determined in the sole discretion of the Club, is a Non-Permitted Transfer unless specifically approved by the Club, and shall constitute a basis for (a) termination of the Revocable License granted by the Club for the use of the Ticket, (b) the seizure or cancellation of the Ticket without refund or other compensation, and/or (c) termination of the Revocable License granted by the Club of all Tickets that are controlled by or affiliated with the violating Holder or individuals/entities determined by the Club to be associated with such Holder without refund or other compensation.
2. Any Resale or attempted Resale of Ticket(s) by a Holder on a publicly available, secondary ticket marketplace shall occur exclusively on the Club’s authorized ticket marketplace(s) (collectively, an “ATM”) that will be specifically designated and/or accessible at cleguardians.com or identified by the Club through other channels or means. Any Resale or attempted Resale of Ticket(s) on a publicly available, secondary ticket marketplace other than an ATM is a Non-Permitted Transfer and may constitute a basis for (a) termination of the Revocable License granted by the Club for use of the Ticket, (b) the seizure, cancellation or refusal to accept the Ticket without refund or other compensation, and/or (c) termination of the Revocable License granted for all Tickets that are controlled by or affiliated with such Holder or individuals/entities determined by the Club to be associated with such Holder without refund or other compensation.
3. Any Resale or attempted Resale of a Ticket inside the Ballpark is strictly prohibited, and any person who Resells or offers a Ticket for Resale at any price inside the Ballpark will be removed from the Ballpark and may be prosecuted.

Subject to the above and any subsequent rules established by the Club or MLB Entities, Tickets may be sold, gifted, or transferred to registered Ticket account partners (“Registered Share Partners”) at any time. All Registered Share Partners shall be identified and registered through the Holder’s Cleveland Guardians account at memberbenefits.cleguardians.com (“Account”), and shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the Tickets and the Account.

For the avoidance of doubt with respect to the application of these Ticket Transfer Restrictions, the following are considered to be Permitted Transfers:

1. Ticket Transfer activity involving the exchange of Tickets amongst the Holder and Registered Share Partners, together with their family members, friends, or associates so long as the Club determines that (a) there was not intent to realize Excess Value regardless of the frequency of the Transfers, and (b) such transfers comply with any and all Additional Conditions and any subsequent rules established by the Club or MLB Entities.
2. The Resale of a Ticket(s) where the purpose for the sale, as determined by the Club in its sole discretion, was unrelated to Broker Activity, so long as any such transfers comply with any and all Additional Conditions and any subsequent rules established by the Club or MLB Entities.

Further, notwithstanding the provisions of the Ticket Transfer Restrictions above with respect to Broker Activity, certain Holders may be permitted to engage in Broker Activity. If a Holder is permitted by the Club to engage in Broker Activity, the Holder and all other parties deemed necessary by the Club (collectively the “Broker Parties”) must agree to be bound by certain additional terms and conditions, set forth in a separate agreement, in writing, between the Club, Holder and the Broker Parties.

In addition to the foregoing, Holder, any Registered Share Partner and/or any Accompanying Party agree that any violation of any terms and/or conditions presented at or after the time of purchase not specifically enumerated in this Agreement, including without limitation (a) terms that mandate or prescribe the quantity of Tickets available to be purchased, (b) additional requirements regarding Accompanying Parties, and (c) additional terms regarding the resale or transfer of Tickets (the “Additional Conditions”) shall constitute a basis for (i) termination of the Revocable License granted by the Club for the use of the Ticket, (ii) the seizure or cancellation of the Ticket without refund or other compensation, and/or (iii) termination of the Revocable License granted by the Club of all Tickets that are controlled by or affiliated with the violating Holder or individuals/entities determined by the Club to be associated with such Holder, including but not limited to any Registered Share Partner or Accompanying Party.

The Club reserves the right to revoke or terminate the Revocable License for Tickets granted to a Holder, any Registered Share Partner and/or Accompanying Party through this Agreement without any refund or compensation if, in the Club’s sole discretion, a Holder, Registered Share Partner and/or an Accompanying Party violates the terms of this Agreement, acts in any manner that in the opinion of the Club could negatively affect the experience of any other person at the Ballpark, or violates other policies and regulations of the Club, including any Additional Conditions.

ALL EVENT TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE CLUB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST, STOLEN OR DUPLICATED TICKETS.

Holder assumes all risk associated with the purchase of any ticket(s) from anyone other than the Club or its designated agents. Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotion (including contests and sweepstakes), or other trade or commercial purposes without the express written consent of the Club. In addition to restrictions on the sale of a Ticket as set forth by the Club, no offer to resell or resale of a Ticket is permitted to the extent prohibited by any applicable federal, state or local law or regulation. Any unauthorized resale will invalidate the Revocable License granted by a Ticket.

FAN HEALTH PROMISE

COVID-19 AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

AN INHERENT RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES EXISTS IN ANY PUBLIC PLACE REGARDLESS OF PRECAUTIONS THAT MAY BE TAKEN. HOLDER, ON HIS/HER/THEIR BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ACCOMPANYING PARTIES, AGREES TO (1) ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 AND OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES, AND (2) COMPLY WITH ALL RELATED HEALTH & SAFETY POLICIES OF THE CLUB, THE MLB ENTITIES AND GATEWAY.

Holder, on his/her/their behalf and on behalf of any Accompanying Parties, acknowledges and agrees to comply with (1) all relevant policies and protocols issued by the Club, the MLB Entities and/or Gateway, including, without limitation, any policies and protocols regarding security, bags, fan conduct and health and safety, currently available at https://www.mlb.com/guardians/ballpark/information/security, all of which may continue to be updated from time to time between purchase of this Ticket and the Event date, and (2) all current guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and all applicable laws and policies of federal, state, city and local authorities (subsections (1) and (2) are, collectively, “Health and Safety Rules”).

Holder further acknowledges and understands that, if infected with COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease, Holder and/or any Accompanying Parties may infect others that they may subsequently come in contact with, even if they are not experiencing or displaying any symptoms of illness, and that the risk of exposure to others remains at all times. Accordingly, Holder agrees that neither Holder nor any Accompanying Parties will attend the Event if, on the date of the Event, they are required or recommended by Health and Safety Rules to stay at home, quarantine and/or isolate (e.g., as a result of testing positive for, experiencing symptoms of, or being in direct contact with someone who tested positive for, COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease).

MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT & CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)

The Club cares deeply about maintaining good relationships with fans. If you have a problem with a Ticket, a Ticket for any Accompanying Party or the Event itself, a telephone call to customer service may resolve the matter quickly and amicably. Any dispute not resolved informally must be resolved in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement.

Unless prohibited by federal law, Holder and the Club agree to arbitrate any and all claims and disputes relating in any way to Holder’s purchase or use of a Ticket, Holder’s and/or an Accompanying Party’s participation in, attendance at, and/or observation of the Event, the Agreement, and any related dealings between them, including, without limitation, claims of bodily injury, illness or property damage arising out of Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s attendance at and/or participation in the Event (“Arbitration Claims”), except for Arbitration Claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law.

In any Arbitration Claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither Holder nor the Club will be able to have a court or jury trial or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that Holder and the Club would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. Holder and the Club each understand and agree that by requiring each other to resolve all disputes through individual arbitration, *_BOTH ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. *_The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties.

Arbitrations shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to the applicable JAMS rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. You may obtain information about arbitration, arbitration procedures and fees from JAMS by calling 800-352-5267 or visiting www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator the parties both agree upon in writing or that is appointed pursuant to section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration shall take place in the City of Cleveland, Ohio. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to Holder and the Cleveland Guardians alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. No arbitration decision will have any preclusive effect as to non-parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding. The parties agree that this Arbitration Agreement extends to any other parties involved in any Arbitration Claims, including, but not limited to, any Accompanying Party and the Released Parties. This Arbitration Agreement shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator in the event of any conflict.

The Club will be responsible for paying all arbitration fees other than the amount of filing fees Holder would have incurred in the state or federal court where the Event took place, whichever is less. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, Holder and the Club may seek relief in a small claims court for Arbitration Claims within its jurisdiction. In addition, Holder and the Club each may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the Agreement, the conclusion of the Event, and/or the bankruptcy or insolvency of a party (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, BUT YOU MUST EXERCISE THIS RIGHT PROMPTLY. If you do not wish to be bound by this agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us by mailing a written opt-out notice, postmarked within seven (7) days after the date of the Event. You must send your request to: Cleveland Guardians Baseball Company, LLC, Attn: General Counsel, Re: Arbitration Agreement, 2401 Ontario Street, Cleveland, OH 44115. The request must include your full name, address, account number, and the statement “I reject the Arbitration Agreement contained in my Ticket.” If you exercise the right to reject arbitration, the other terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if you had not rejected arbitration.

Prior to initiating a lawsuit or an arbitration proceeding under this Arbitration Agreement, the Claimant shall give the other party or parties written notice of the Arbitration Claim (a “Claim Notice”) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Arbitration Claim. Any Claim Notice to one or more of the MLB Entities other than the Club shall be sent by mail to Major League Baseball, Attn: Legal Department, Re: Ticket Claim Notice, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. Any Claim Notice must (a) identify the Claimant by name, address, email address, and telephone number; (b) explain the nature of the Arbitration Claim and the relief demanded; and (c) be submitted only on behalf of the Claimant, and not on behalf of any other party. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Arbitration Claim that the other party reasonably requests and must give the other party a reasonable opportunity to respond to the demand for relief.

*HOLDER IS DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF (I) ANY MINOR AS THEIR PARENT OR GUARDIAN OR AS THE AUTHORIZED AGENT OF THEIR PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND/OR (II) ANY OTHER ACCOMPANYING PARTY AS AN AUTHORIZED AGENT. IF HOLDER DOES NOT WISH TO OR IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO MAKE SUCH AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF (A) ANY MINOR, HOLDER SHOULD IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE BALLPARK WITH SUCH MINOR AND/OR (B) ANY OTHER ACCOMPANYING PARTY, THEN THE ACCOMPANYING PARTY IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO ATTEND THE EVENT WITHOUT SEPARATELY PURCHASING A TICKET TO THE EVENT. *
