/.Ticketing Terms and Conditions

 

By purchasing a ticket, I agree to receive exciting news, exclusive offers, competitions, and event updates from World Athletics, including behind-the-scenes tours, athlete meet and greets, and incredible giveaways.

 

1. The purchase and use of the World Athletics U20 Championships Oregon 26 (“Event”) tickets (“Tickets”) and admission to the venues for the Event are subject to the following terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) and such other rules (“Rules”) issued by World Athletics, Oregon 26, LLC (the local organizing committee for the Event), and the University of Oregon (the “Venue Owner”, the “University”). Within these terms and conditions references to the “Authorities” means Oregon 26, LLC and the University of Oregon. Anyone who purchases or uses Tickets (“Ticket Holder”) is held to have agreed to the Terms and Conditions and the Rules, including as they are issued, updated or revised by the Authorities from time to time.

 

2. This Ticket is permission to admit entry for one person for the time, date and venue listed on the Ticket, and if applicable, to the seat or section listed on the Ticket, which the Authorities reserve the right to withdraw or modify if the seating is modified. In addition to other available remedies, the Authorities have the right to cancel Tickets (including requiring the return of Tickets), refuse admission to any venue or remove a person from any venue, if the person is in violation of these Terms and Conditions or the Rules, without any refund. The right to remove includes, but is not limited to, removing any person that does not abide by any federal, state, city or local public health, safety, harassment or discrimination laws, orders, or policies, or is otherwise jeopardizing public safety. Any activity likely to interfere with the performance of or endanger any athlete, team member, coach, official, or other person, or that causes or risks damage to any property, will result in immediate removal without refund of the admission price.

 

3. All persons aged two and up must have a Ticket for admission. Children under the age of two must sit in the lap of an adult who has a Ticket, otherwise they will need a Ticket if they occupy a seat. Only one child per one accompanying adult may be admitted without a ticket (i.e. one adult may not bring in two children under the age of two without a ticket).

 

4. Tickets for accessible wheelchair and limited-mobility seats will be available for every session. A maximum of three Tickets can be purchased to accompany a single Accessible Ticket. All such Tickets are on a first come first served basis.

There will be no refunds of Tickets as a result of a change in the date or time of a session or for any other reason unless a Ticket Holder qualifies for a refund under the Ticketing Terms and Conditions outlined here.

 

31. Should any provision(s) of these Terms and Conditions be declared unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in effect as if such invalid or unenforceable provision(s) had not been contained in these Terms and Conditions.

 

32. A Ticket Holder assumes all risks and dangers associated with their attendance at the Event including any bodily harm and property damage or loss incidental to attendance at the Event whether occurring prior to or during the Event. A Ticket Holder understands that the Authorities cannot control all of the actions of third parties and that the Authorities are not responsible for all acts or omissions of any third parties, even if the parties’ acts or omissions are in violation of these Terms and Conditions or the Rules.  Each Ticket Holder releases each of the Authorities, World Athletics and their owners, agents, employees and contractors, and waives all liability for any bodily harm (including death) or property damage or losses arising from or incidental to the Event of any nature whatsoever, even if the harm, damage or loss is caused by the negligent acts or omissions of one or any one of the Authorities, World Athletics or their owners, agents, employees or contractors, and whether arising in contract or in tort. The release and waiver does not apply if the harm, damage or loss is caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of one of the Authorities, World Athletics or their owner, agent, employee or contractor, in which case, the liability shall be several and limited to the Authority, World Athletics or specific owner, agent, employee or contractor that acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

33. Specifically, without limitation, there is an inherent risk of exposure to infectious diseases in any place where people gather. A Ticket Holder assumes 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 any 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 the Authorities, World Athletics and their owners, agents, employees and contractors relating to such risks, hazards and dangers.

 

34. The Authorities are not responsible for any lost, stolen, damaged or unreadable tickets, or any inability to access an electronic ticket, and the Authorities have no liability for the failure to access the Event or failure to honor a Ticket because a Ticket is lost, stolen, damaged, unreadable or inaccessible.  This does not apply to an error created by the fault of the Authorities.

 

35. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  In no case will either party be responsible to other for any consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages, even if one party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of whether the claim is based upon any contract, tort, or other legal or equitable theory. All limitations of liability will apply even if the limited remedy fails of its essential purpose and the limitation of liability and allocation of risk is an essential element of the basis for the bargain between the parties.  In the event of any dispute between the Ticket Holders and any Authority regarding the Event, the Authority’s maximum liability, and the Ticket Holder’s sole and exclusive remedy, is the purchase price for the Ticket subject to the dispute.

 

36. NO WARRANTIES. There are no warranties of any kind, express or implied, in connection with the Event or the Tickets or otherwise, and they are all presented “AS IS.” While a schedule of competitive events and athletes competing may be presented, all schedules and events times and dates are subject to change without notice.

 

37. ARBITRATION IS REQUIRED. The Ticket Holder agrees that any dispute regarding the Ticket or attendance at the Event, will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration through the Arbitration Service of Portland, Inc., pursuant to their consumer disputes resolution process and rules. Ticket Holder may not bring any suit or arbitration against any Authority more than two years after the cause of action has accrued. The parties agree that any dispute and proceedings of the arbitration will be confidential and not disclosed to third parties, except as required by law. Arbitration is not required if the Authorities decide to seek an equitable remedy from a court, including without limitation an injunction or temporary restraining order against a Ticket Holder. This arbitration clause is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration acts.

 

38. CLASS ACTION AND JURY WAIVER. In any arbitration, 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. TICKET HOLDER AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.

 

39. These Terms and Conditions will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Subject to the requirements to arbitrate, any claim, action, or suit against any of the Authorities must be brought and conducted solely and exclusively in the Circuit Court for Lane County for the State of Oregon. However, if any claim, action, or suit must be brought in a federal forum, it will be brought and conducted exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. BY EXECUTION OF THIS CONTRACT, TICKET HOLDER CONSENTS TO IN PERSONAM JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. In no event will any part of these Terms and Conditions be construed as a waiver by the University of Oregon of its sovereign and governmental immunities. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection any such court is an inconvenient forum.

 

40. No waiver by any of the Authorities of any right arising out of a breach by a Ticket Holder of any of these Terms and Conditions is a waiver of any right arising out of a subsequent breach of the same or a breach of any other term or condition or a waiver of the term or condition itself. A waiver of any term or condition of these Terms and Conditions for one Ticket Holder does not require or imply a waiver for any other Ticket Holder.

 

41. These Terms and Conditions are a final and complete statement of the agreement between the Authorities and the Ticket Holder, and fully supersedes all prior agreements or negotiations, written or oral.
