Terms and Conditions

BY CLICKING “I AGREE”, THE PERSON SEEKING ENTRY PURSUANT TO THIS LICENSE, AND ANY ACCOMPANYING MINOR (COLLECTIVELY, “HOLDER” or “YOU”) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY HAVE READ AND ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) IN ITS ENTIRETY.

1. All admission tickets issued by The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (“PGA”) granting access to the 2020 Ryder Cup (the “Championship”) are licenses that may be revoked by the PGA or the PGA Tournament Corporation, Inc. (“PTC”) in their sole discretion for any reason or no reason at all. Subject to the terms below, Holder’s sole remedy in the event the PGA or PTC revokes your ticket of admission for the Championship without cause shall be the amount of the purchase price of the ticket paid to the PGA, less any applicable taxes and fees.

2. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved by individual arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its rules, as modified herein. The place of arbitration shall be Florida, provided, however, that if requested by the Holder, the arbitrator shall schedule an in-person hearing in the Holder’s hometown area for the Holder’s convenience. All JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services shall be borne by whichever of the PGA or the PTC that is a party to the arbitration (or both), except that when a ticket holder initiates arbitration, the Holder shall be required to pay a $250 fee to JAMS. The existence and content of the arbitration shall be confidential and shall not be disclosed by any party except to the extent required by law. By agreeing to individual arbitration, you acknowledge that you will not be able to have a court or jury trial, or participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that you would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. You understand and agree that by resolving all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, through individual arbitration, you WAIVE 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be precluded from seeking remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction.

3. Holder shall carry, and where possible display, their ticket at all times during the Championship.

4. For security or other purposes consistent with the license granted by ticket of admission, Holder consents to the reasonable inspection of his/her person and property before entering and/or during the Championship.

5. Holders ASSUMES ALL RISK, hazards, and dangers arising from or relating to holder’s attendance at the Championship and related activities, from all known and unknown causes and obvious and hidden conditions, including, but not limited to, personal injury (including death), which includes, without limitation, injuries resulting from being struck by misdirected golf balls and/or falls on the course and surrounding areas; sickness (including illness and other risks of exposure to COVID-19, or any other communicable disease or illness, or a bacteria, virus or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness); and Holder hereby RELEASES, WAIVES, AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE the PGA, PTC, Whistling Straits, participating players and each of their respective Officers, Directors, Employees, Agents, Members and Affiliates from any and all liabilities from any such risks, hazards, and dangers.

6. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, including those with or without masks and additional personal protective equipment (“PPE”) or improperly using masks or PPE. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious virus that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and those with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By attending the Championship, Holder voluntarily assumes all risks related to exposure to COVID-19, including but not limited to exposure to carriers of the virus who do not have symptoms of COVID-19 and/or ticket holder transmitting the COVID-19 virus to others during or after the Championship.

7. Holder grants PGA, PTC and any of their authorized third parties the irrevocable, transferable, perpetual right and license to use their name, voice, image and likeness recorded or captured in connection with the Championship for any purpose and in any medium (whether now known or hereafter created).

8. Holder agrees not to capture, collect, transmit, distribute, publish, or sell any account, description, reproduction, video (live or recorded), audio, photograph, scoring-related data or statistic of, from or at the Championship on any day of the Championship throughout the Championship site, including any practice round (“Championship Content”), for any purpose except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. PGA is the sole owner of, and ticket holders assign to PGA, all right, title and interest in and to all Championship Content, including all copyrights and rights to use all Championship Content, subject to permission from PGA to capture and distribute certain Championship Content on the limited terms set forth in this Agreement.

9. Holder may capture video, audio, and photographs at the Championship on any day of the Championship throughout the Championship site (including, for clarity, competition areas on competition days), consistent with all posted rules and instructions of the PGA and/or Championship Marshals and Officials. Holder may not use such video, audio, and photographs for commercial purposes and may not distribute such content on a live or near-live basis (i.e., no live streaming) or use such content to create a real-time, stroke-by-stroke or hole-by-hole account of the Championship. Further, Holder shall not use or authorize others to use any such content or other Championship Content for any commercial or promotional purpose, or for or in connection with a media outlet (directly or indirectly) unless the Holder and the media outlet have received official media credentials for the Championship from PGA.

10. Upon reasonable request by PGA, at PGA’s cost and expense, Holder will sign any documents necessary to effect PGA’s ownership of all Championship Content.

11. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, Holder agrees not to capture, collect, transmit, distribute, publish, or sell any Championship Content (including any scoring, statistical, competition or other data at or from the Championship) for purposes of any betting or gambling-related activity.

12. Holder agrees to follow the guidelines of Golf Mode while onsite. Adhering to Golf Mode includes mobile devices set to silent or vibrate, including but not limited to ringer and notifications/alerts, and camera flash turned off.
