You must not use such marks without prior written permission of Huddle.

4. Your Account

In order to use the GoFan Service as a registered user, you must enter the email address and password that you used to sign up for the GoFan Service and to authenticate your Account. You agree and confirm that you provided accurate and complete information when you registered with the GoFan Service (“GoFan Registration Data"), and you agree to update your GoFan Registration Data to keep it accurate and complete. Failure to provide accurate, current and complete GoFan Registration Data may result in the suspension and/or termination of your Account. You acknowledge and agree that Huddle will use the GoFan Registration Data you provide for use in maintaining your Account and that Huddle may, in our sole discretion, refuse service, terminate accounts of any users, and change eligibility requirements at any time.

Do not reveal your Account information to anyone else. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account and for all activities that occur on or through your Account, and you agree to immediately notify Huddle of any security breach of your Account. You further acknowledge and agree that you should not share your Account and/or password details with another individual. Provided we have exercised reasonable skill and due care, Huddle shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your Account resulting from you not following these rules.

You agree that all information you provide to register with the Services or otherwise, including but not limited to through the use of any interactive features on the Services, is governed by our Privacy Policy and you consent to all actions we take with respect to your information consistent with our Privacy Policy.

The owner of the Services is based in the United States. We provide these Services for use only by persons located in the United States. We make no claims that the Services or any of their content is accessible or appropriate outside of the United States. Access to the Services may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

The Mobile Application or its underlying technology may not be downloaded to or exported or re-exported outside of the United States.

4.1 Age Restrictions and Use of Service.

If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, then you must have parental permission to use the Services, and meet other applicable requirements as set forth in these Terms. If you permit your child or legal ward under eighteen (18) years of age (“Child”) to use the Services, you hereby agree to these Terms of Use on behalf of both yourself and your Child. You further agree that you are solely responsible for any and all use of the Services by your Child, regardless of whether you authorized such use.

5. Online Marketplace

The GoFan Service allows you to buy and Affiliates to sell event tickets (“Ticket(s)”) and spirit wear or other branded merchandise (“Merchandise”) through our online marketplace. The GoFan Service also includes other services such as allowing you to register for summer camp, fundraising and donations, and engage with other services offered by Affiliates (collectively, “Other Service(s)”). The Affiliates (and not Huddle) set the prices for Tickets, Merchandise, and Other Services. Huddle may provide pricing, shipping, listing and other guidance on the Other Services, and such guidance is solely informational. Huddle has no control over and does not guarantee the safety or legality of the Tickets, Merchandise or Other Services; the truth or accuracy of the Affiliate’s content or listings; or the ability of an Affiliate to sell Tickets, Merchandise or Other Services or your ability to pay for them. In no event shall Huddle be responsible for the provision of Tickets, Merchandise or Other Services provided by Affiliates.

6. Buying Tickets, Merchandise, and Services

You are responsible for reading the complete listing before making a commitment to buy Tickets, Merchandise, or Other Services. You cannot change or cancel any orders after the sale is complete. All sales are final and non-refundable. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to you ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

6.1 Fees, Taxes and Other Charges.

You may be charged additional fees for buying Tickets, Merchandise or Other Services through the Services and/or otherwise using the GoFan Service, including but not limited to additional amounts owed to GoFan, third party companies, and/or governmental entities including tax (collectively referred to as "Convenience Fees"). All taxes owed, whether or not itemized as part of the Convenience Fees, are your responsibility. Convenience Fees may vary depending on event type and location, type of Merchandise, and type of Service and may be changed at any time. To the extent the Services include fundraising and/or donations, it is solely the responsibility of the Affiliate to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax, if any, to the appropriate tax authority.  We may provide you with a transaction receipt for Services related to fundraising and/or donations, but such receipt is not a donation receipt for tax purposes.  All receipts for tax purposes must be provided to you by the applicable Affiliate.  

6.2 Payments.

Credit card transactions are handled by established third party banking institutions and processing agents. Such third-party banking institutions and processing agents receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information. Payments received for Tickets, Merchandise, and Services purchased via the GoFan Service are processed by such established third-party banking institutions and processing agents on behalf of the Affiliate and credited to the Affiliate in accordance with Huddle’s individual agreement with each Affiliate.

Payments are due and payable immediately. You can pay the full order amount, which includes any applicable Convenience Fees and taxes, using one of the accepted payment methods.

Your obligation to pay for a Ticket, Merchandise, or Other Service is satisfied when Huddle has received the payment in full.

6.3 No Resale.

You are strictly prohibited from reselling any Tickets, Merchandise, Other Services, or other products or services available on the Services.

7. Mobile Tickets

Rather than bringing a print-at-home barcoded Ticket (“Printed Ticket”) or confirmation number to an event, some Affiliates’ events give you the option of having your Ticket delivered to your mobile Device through GoFan’s mobile application (“Mobile Ticket”). There are also some events wherein the only Ticket that will be accepted is a Mobile Ticket.

Mobile Tickets will be stored on your Account. If you are required to bring a Printed Ticket to an event, and you lose your Printed Ticket, you can reprint your Printed Ticket by accessing your Account on a mobile Device. If you do not have access to your mobile Device when you are attending an event, you can log in to your Account on the GoFan mobile application using another person’s compatible mobile Device, and you will be able to access any Mobile Tickets on your Account on such device. Each Mobile Ticket will be treated like any other valid Ticket. Mobile Tickets are individually redeemed and allow for only one entry per Mobile Ticket, so any attempts to duplicate, alter, or sell any copies of the Mobile Ticket may result in admittance being refused to the event.

8. Event Cancellations, Postponement and Other Event Changes

8.1 Cancellation.

At the direction of the Affiliate hosting an event that has been cancelled, Huddle may remove the event and any listings related to the event from the Services, and we may inform you about the cancellation with further instructions pertaining to rescheduling.

8.2 Postponement.

If an event is postponed, Huddle will work with the Affiliate on a case-by-case basis attempting to resolve any ticket issues.

8.3 Other Event Changes.

Huddle is not responsible for partial performances, venue or time changes, or oversold events. No Ticket refunds will be issued in these instances. Huddle recommends that you contact the Affiliate responsible for such event to address any event-related concerns.

9. Third-Party Resources

Applications, software, and websites of one or more third parties may be accessible through the Services and/or in connection with your Account (“Third Party Resources”). Your use of Third-Party Resources is subject to the terms and conditions of use and/or privacy policies established by such third parties, and Huddle shall have no liability or responsibility for the privacy practices or other actions of any Third-Party Resources. You are solely responsible for any and all material that you post, re-post, share in connection with any Third-Party Resources or otherwise engage with such Third-Party Resources. Some third parties may impose fees for access to Third Party Resources, and you are responsible for all such fees. You hereby agree to indemnify Huddle and its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, partners and licensors against all claims, injuries and/or damages, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees that arise from or are related to your use of any Third-Party Resources.

10. Rules for Sweepstakes, Contests and Games
In addition to these Terms of Use, sweepstakes, contests, games, or other promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available through the Services may have specific rules that are different from these Terms of Use. By participating in a Promotion, you will become subject to the Promotion’s rules. We urge you to review the Promotion’s rules before you participate in a Promotion. Promotion rules will control over any conflict with these Terms of Use.

11. Access to and Use of Your Account

Huddle reserves the right to take steps Huddle believes are reasonably necessary or appropriate to enforce and/or verify compliance with any part of these Terms of Use. You acknowledge and agree that Huddle may, without liability to you, access, use, preserve and/or disclose your Account information and content to law enforcement authorities, government officials, and/or a third party, as Huddle believes is reasonably necessary or appropriate, if legally required to do so or if we have a good faith belief that such access, use, disclosure, or preservation is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process or request; (b) enforce these Terms of Use, including investigation of any potential violation thereof; (c) detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property or safety of Huddle, its users, a third party, or the public as required or permitted by law.

You agree that Huddle and its subsidiaries and agents may collect, maintain, process and use diagnostic, technical, usage and related information, including, but not limited to, technical information about your computer, system, WiFi and application software, and peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to the Services, and to verify compliance with these Terms of Use. To enable Huddle’s partners and third-party developers to improve their software, hardware and services designed for use with the Services, Huddle may also provide any such partner or third-party developer with a subset of diagnostic information that is relevant to that partner’s or developer’s software, hardware and/or services, as long as the diagnostic information is in a form that does not personally identify you.

12. Our Privacy Policy

You understand that by using the Services, you consent and agree to the collection and use of certain information about you, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, and that your use of the Services is in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein.

HUDDLE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE, ITS CONTENTS, THE TICKETS, MERCHANDISE, SERVICES AND ANY OTHER ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANYTHING THAT OCCURS AT ANY EVENT.

18.3 Restrictions on Limitation of Liability.

Certain of the above limitations may not apply if your state does not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or does not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages. In those states, the liability of Huddle and its employees, affiliates, suppliers, agents, and contractors is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. All limitations and disclaimers stated in these Terms of Use also apply to Huddle’s third-party contractors, as third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use. All representations, indemnifications, and limitations of liability contained herein shall survive the termination of these Terms of Use; any other obligations of the parties hereunder shall also survive, if they relate to the period before termination or if, by their terms, they would be expected to survive such termination.

19. Indemnity

You agree that you shall be responsible for and shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Huddle, its affiliates and their respective employees, affiliates, suppliers, agents and contractors and shall reimburse the foregoing for any damages, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by any of the foregoing in connection with any claims, suits, judgments, and causes of action arising out of (a) any violation of applicable laws or regulations by you (or any parties who use your Account, with or without your permission, to access the Services); (b) your use of the Services, including, without limitation, any data, information or User Content that you post or upload to the Services; (c) violation or infringement of contractual rights, privacy, confidentiality, copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property and proprietary rights arising from your use of the Services or your use of the Tickets (including attending an event for which the Tickets were issued), your use of the Merchandise, or your use of the Services; (d) your breach of any provision of these Terms of Use; and (e) any liabilities, claims, injuries, death, loss and/or damages of any kind arising from or related to any event for which the Ticket was issued.

20. Electronic Communications

You agree that we may make communications available to you by posting them on the Website or sending an email to the email address you provide to us that is associated with your Account, or both and that such communications, as well as notices, disclosures, agreements and other communications that we provide to you electronically, are equivalent to communications in writing and shall have the same force and effect as if they were in writing and signed by us.

21. Dispute Resolution; Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL.

You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Service or to any aspect of your relationship with us, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that (1) you or we may assert claims in small claims court, but only if the claims qualify, the claims remain only in such court, and the claims remain on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis; and (2) you or we may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

You and we both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration, small claims court proceeding, or equitable relief for intellectual property infringement. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution to: 2990 Brandywine Road, Suite 300 Atlanta, Georgia 30341.  You and we agree to meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of arbitration or, where applicable, litigation. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if we are represented by counsel, our counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but we agree to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while you and we engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference. If you and we do not reach agreement to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after initiation of this dispute resolution process, either you or we may commence arbitration or, provided such claims qualify, file an action in small claims court or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement.

If the arbitration provision applies or you choose arbitration to resolve your disputes, then either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent to begin arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will arbitrate all disputes.  For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply.  The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.  Upon filing of the arbitration demand, if the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay AAA filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from AAA, we will pay them for you if you complied with the Informal Dispute Resolution Process set forth above. In addition, we will reimburse all such AAA filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $75,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous or you did not comply with the Informal Dispute Resolution process set forth above, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the AAA Rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. For claims that total more than $75,000, the payment of filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules.  

The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and us. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and these Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. In addition, for claims under $75,000 as to which you followed the Informal Dispute Resolution Process before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.  

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: CLASS ACTION WAIVER

WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, then the Arbitration Agreement will be void as to you.  

Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and we agree that no dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in accordance with the Governing Law, Venue and Jurisdiction, and Court Proceedings described this Arbitration Agreement.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL WAIVER

YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and we are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in this Arbitration Agreement. An arbitrator can award, on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION, AND COURT PROCEEDINGS

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or videoconference, based on written submissions, in person in your hometown area (if you live in the United States), or at another mutually agreed upon location that is reasonably convenient to you. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Except to the extent preempted by or inconsistent with applicable federal law and as otherwise described herein, this agreement is governed by the laws of Georgia without regard to choice of law principles, conflicts of laws rules, or your actual state of residence. For any claim that proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive our right to a jury trial and any claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Unless otherwise specified herein, any Disputes of a legal nature, whether a claim, complaint, arbitration demand, or otherwise that is not subject to the mandatory arbitration provision, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located within Atlanta, Georgia
