Ticket Terms
FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX
Ticket Terms and Conditions
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY AS THEY GOVERN YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE TICKET AND CONTAIN A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION CONSENT AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER PROVISION BY WHICH YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT INDIVIDUALLY OR AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES RELATING TO THE TICKET AND THE EVENT FOR WHICH IT IS ISSUED.
The promoter of the FORMULA 1 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX (“Event”) is LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX, INC. (the “Promoter”). Each ticket for the Event at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit (“Circuit”) is a revocable license that grants entry into the Circuit grounds and a seat or standing location (as specified on the ticket), for the Event. The person seeking entry pursuant to such license, and any accompanying minors (collectively, “Holder”), agrees that such license is subject to these terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, any documents incorporated by reference (the “Terms and Conditions”), as well as any Circuit rules and regulations (including but not limited to those implemented by any operator of the Circuit or related groups (such as by way of example and without limitation parking areas, entry gates, hospitality areas and any other location where Event activities are conducted)) and additional policies, rules, terms and conditions established by the Promoter, Formula One World Championship Limited (“FOWC”), Formula One Marketing Limited (“FOML”) and/or each of their respective affiliates (collectively, “Supplemental Terms”), in all instances as amended or supplemented from time to time. By purchasing, accepting and/or using such license, Holder is deemed to have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions and Supplemental Terms.
Any attempt or attempted use of any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc. (“Bots”), that purchases tickets in a manner meant to circumvent any ticket quantity control measures implemented by the Promoter, or that otherwise violates local, state, federal law, constitutes a material breach of these Terms and Conditions and any tickets acquired through such Bots are subject to being revoked by the Promoter without warning or compensation.
Failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions and/or Supplemental Terms shall result in forfeiture of the license and all of Holder’s rights arising under it without refund and entitle the Promoter, FOWC, FOML and their affiliates to pursue all legal remedies. Admission may be refused or revoked, and Holder may be ejected for any reason in the Promoter’s sole discretion. The ticket does not grant Holder any re-entry rights if Holder leaves the Event after presenting the ticket and offered entry into the Event except as provided by the Promoter.
The Promoter, in its sole discretion, may refuse to accept or cancel any ticket purchase from anyone it believes intends to offer tickets for resale contrary to these Terms and Conditions.
ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL AND NON-CANCELLABLE. NO REFUNDS, CREDITS OR EXCHANGES. THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, IF ANY, if admission is refused or revoked without cause, capacity limits result in ticket cancellation, or the Event is canceled and not rescheduled for any reason, is a refund of up to the ticket’s face value as set by the Promoter (“Face Value”). The Promoter’s liability for breach of the Terms and Conditions shall not exceed Face Value. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PROMOTER, FOWC, FOML OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR ANY OTHER RELEASEE (DEFINED BELOW) BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE, INCLUDING ANY AMOUNT PAID IN EXCESS OF FACE VALUE FOR THE TICKET OR ANY EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE HOLDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE EVENT OTHER THAN THE FACE VALUE.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE TICKET (INCLUDING ITS ATTEMPTED PURCHASE, ACTUAL PURCHASE, DEPOSIT FOR PURCHASE, AND USE), THE EVENT AND/OR HOLDER’S ATTENDANCE AT THE EVENT SHALL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY, CONFIDENTIAL, FINAL, BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA PURSUANT TO AAA’S CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF APPLICABLE, AAA’S CONSUMER MASS ARBITRATION SUPPLEMENTARY RULES. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS APPLYING NEVADA SUBSTANTIVE LAW WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OR THE RESIDENCY OF THE PARTIES. HOLDER UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION. IF HOLDER DOES NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, HOLDER MUST NOT PURCHASE A TICKET OR MUST LEAVE OR NOT ENTER THE CIRCUIT GROUNDS. THIS CLAUSE IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.
If Holder elects to seek arbitration, Holder must first give Promoter an opportunity to resolve Holder’s claim by sending a written description of Holder’s claim (“Notice of Dispute”) by certified mail to: Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., c/o Legal Department, 3883 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89169. The Notice of Dispute must contain enough information for Promoter to confirm Holder’s ticket purchase and attempt to resolve Holder’s claim, including Holder’s name and email address, as well as a written description of the problem, relevant documents, and a statement of the specific relief that Holder is seeking. The Notice of Dispute must be signed by Holder. If Promoter and Holder do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice of Dispute is received, Holder or Promoter may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Separate and apart from the arbitration terms above, HOLDER AGREES NOT TO SUE PROMOTER OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES AS A CLASS PLAINTIFF OR CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, JOIN AS A CLASS MEMBER, OR PARTICIPATE AS AN ADVERSE PARTY IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST PROMOTER OR ITS AFFILIATES. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits Holder’s right to bring an individual claim. Holder can opt out of the class action waiver contained in this paragraph by sending written notice of Holder’s decision to opt out by certified mail, and postmarked within 30 days of Holder’s ticket purchase, to Promoter at: Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc., c/o Legal Department, 3883 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89169.
All payments must be made without offset, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind. The Promoter reserves the right to charge an additional fee for any payment declined, returned or denied. If any amount payable to the Promoter is not paid when due, such amount will bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 1.5% per month and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law, and the Promoter shall have the right to withhold any or all of the benefits granted pursuant to these Terms and Conditions during the period in which such amounts remain unpaid.
Tickets to the Event are strictly non-transferable and not for resale except in the manner authorized by the Promoter. Tickets may only be purchased from the Promoter or through the Promoter’s authorized agents. Tickets obtained from sources other than the Promoter or the Promoter’s authorized agents may not be honored. If a ticket is resold or transferred for profit or for commercial gain (including as part of a promotion or prize) without the Promoter’s or FOWC’s authority it will become void, and the Holder may be refused entry to or be ejected from the Circuit grounds. Tickets may not be used for, or in connection with, any form of commercial, trade or charitable purposes, including, any advertising, promotions, raffle, contests, giveaways, packaging with hospitality or other products, and/or sweepstakes, gambling or gaming activities, without the express written consent of the Promoter. If the Promoter determines that any such prohibited activities are occurring, the Promoter may take any action contemplated by these Terms and Conditions, including revoking the license(s) granted without refund or other compensation due.
None of the Promoter, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (inclusive of any employee, representative, agent, or contractor acting on its behalf, the “FIA”), FOWC, FOML or any other Releasee warrant, represent or guarantee (i) the total number of days comprising the Event, (ii) the duration or total number of warm-up, practice, qualifying, or championship motor racing sessions and/or supporting events, (iii) that any other reduction or scheduling change of the Event or Event-related activities will occur as compared to the original schedule, or (iv) that the Event will be conducted in its entirety and without delay. Event and gate opening dates/times, and entry and re-entry policies, are subject to change at the Promoter’s sole discretion. No changes as described above shall entitle Holder to a refund or remedy for any reason, including if as a result of such change Holder cannot attend the Event. There are no refunds, credits or exchanges if a session or day of the Event is delayed, interrupted, or not completed.
Without limiting anything in the foregoing, Holder must comply with all Promoter policies, including any policies addressing security and fan conduct, health and safety, and bags. Holder and Holder’s belongings may be searched or assessed upon entry to the Circuit and while at the Circuit. Without limiting the foregoing, Holder may not bring to the Circuit grounds or seek entry to the Circuit grounds while in possession of: (i) bottles, cans, glass vessels or your own food and drink (unless and only to the extent permitted by Promoter policies); (ii) illegal substances (including marijuana) or any article that might be used or interpreted as a weapon and/or compromise public safety or enjoyment of the Event including knives, bladed items, fireworks, smoke canisters, personal protection sprays, air-horns, vuvuzelas, whistles, flares, firearms, ammunition, weapons, or dangerous or hazardous items; (iii) drones or similar equipment, phone jammers, radio scanners, walkie-talkies, laser devices, selfie sticks; (iv) bicycles, roller-skates, skateboards, scooters, segways, strollers; (v) items that could in the option of the Promoter be used to sabotage or damage property or interfere with the Event (including its broadcast); (vi) animals, except for registered service animals; (vii) items of a political, religious or other similar nature or items bearing offensive slogans or messages; or (viii) any other items specified by the Promoter from time to time (collectively, “Prohibited Items”). Any person in possession of Prohibited Items may be refused entry to or ejected from the Venue or may only be permitted to remain in the Venue if any such Prohibited Items are surrendered. Prohibited Items may be confiscated at the sole discretion of the Promoter or individual conducting the inspection. Any surrendered or confiscated Prohibited Items will be deemed to have been surrendered irrevocably and voluntarily and may be disposed of by the Promoter without any liability. Holder consents to such searches and assessments and waives all related claims. If Holder subsequently refuses to consent, Holder acknowledges the Promoter has the right to deny or revoke Holder’s admission without refund. Holder may not bring into, use, distribute or display (whether for free or not) within the Circuit grounds any sponsorship, promotional or marketing materials or do any other thing that might cause a reasonable person to believe that Holder has a sponsorship arrangement with the Promoter, the Event or FOWC or its affiliates. The Promoter reserves the right to deny or revoke the admission of any person who it determines, in its sole discretion, poses a risk to the health or safety of other attendees or Event participants, or whose conduct violates these Terms and Conditions and/or any Supplemental Terms, or is otherwise disorderly (or complicit therein) without refund.
Holder agrees not to make, create, store, record, transmit, display, distribute, exploit, misappropriate or sell (or aid in any such activities) (i) in any form, any description or account (whether text, data, visual or audio-visual, and including official timing, results, performance, telemetry, weather or race control data) of the Event or related events (collectively, “Descriptive Data”) for any commercial or non-personal purpose; (ii) any images, videos, audio or other form of display or public performance or reproduction of any portion of the Event or related events (collectively, “Works”) for any commercial or non-personal purpose; or (iii) livestreams of any portion of the Event or related events (“Livestreams”). Equipment that enables Holder or its guests to engage in any of the aforementioned forbidden activities is not permitted at the Event and will be confiscated. Personal electronic devices (including still image cameras, mobile phones, and other handheld personal communications devices) are permitted at the Event, provided that any Works, Descriptive Data, and any image, including photographic images and any still pictures derived or capable of being derived from Works (“Image”), of the Event that is recorded, stored and/or created thereon is used for personal and non-commercial purposes only.
Holder agrees that by causing their ticket to be scanned upon entry, Holder shall be deemed to have signed the ticket and agreed that: (i) the use of any such Works, Descriptive Data, or Image for any form of public advertisement, display, commercial gain or for any other purpose (except for Holder’s private enjoyment) without the prior consent of FOWC is strictly forbidden and will constitute a breach of these Terms and Conditions as well as a violation of the Promoter’s and FOWC’s intellectual property rights, for which Holder may be liable; (ii) upon the Promoter’s or FOWC’s request, Holder shall assign to FOWC in writing the copyright and all other intellectual property in any Image, Livestreams, Works or other material based on the forgoing (including Descriptive Data) that Holder creates, makes, stores or records of, at or in relation to the Event; and (iii) Holder has granted to each of the Promoter and FOWC an exclusive worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to all rights associated with any Image, Works and Livestreams or other material based on the foregoing (including Descriptive Data).
Holder grants consents and grants irrevocable permission to the Promoter and FOWC and any third party authorized by either from time to time to use, publish, distribute, broadcast and/or alter Holder’s image, likeness, voice, actions and statements in any live or recorded medium, including audio, video, film or photographic display or other transmission, whether now known or hereinafter created, of the Event for any purpose, including commercial or promotional purposes, worldwide and in perpetuity, without further review, authorization or any compensation, and waives all personality and privacy rights, claims and potential claims relating to such use unless prohibited by law. In addition, Holder consents and grants to the Promoter and FOWC permission to collect, use, share and store certain Holder facial and other biometric information as permitted by law, including for security purposes.
HOLDER AGREES THAT MOTOR RACING, THE EVENT, AND CERTAIN ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EVENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SUPPORT RACES AND OTHER RELATED EVENTS) ARE DANGEROUS AND HOLDER AGREES TO ATTEND AT THEIR OWN RISK AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL RISKS, HAZARDS AND DANGERS incidental to the Event and related events, including, without limitation, the risk of injury (including death, paralysis, head or other bodily injury, broken bones or burns), exposure to noxious chemicals and gases (including automotive exhaust or smoke from automotive fires), damage to hearing from loud noises (including automotive noise, crowd noise and loud music), exposure to communicable diseases, viruses, bacteria or illnesses or the causes thereof, exposure to weather and natural conditions (e.g., rain storms and excessive heat and sun), or lost, stolen or damaged property, whether occurring before, during, or after the Event, however caused. The Promoter, the Event’s sanctioning bodies, the FIA (inclusive of any employee, representative, agent, or contractor acting on its behalf), FOWC and its affiliates, including FOML, Formula One Licensing B.V., Formula One Asset Management Limited, Formula One Hospitality and Event Services Limited, Formula Motorsport Limited and FOML, persons involved in the organization of the Event (including officials, marshals, rescue and medical staff), the competitors and drivers, the owners and lessees of any property comprising the Circuit or Event grounds (including seating and hospitality areas), and Event sponsors and vendors (such parties to include, where relevant, all directors, officers, partners, shareholders, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors and affiliated companies) (collectively, “Releasees”), are not responsible for any loss or damage howsoever caused to Holder or Holder’s property and irrespective of any safety precautions implemented at the Event, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
AN INHERENT RISK OF EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 AND ANY OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASE EXISTS IN ANY PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE PRESENT. COVID-19 IS AN EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE THAT CAN LEAD TO SEVERE ILLNESS AND DEATH. ACCORDING TO THE CDC, SENIOR CITIZENS AND THOSE WITH UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS ARE ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE. BY ENTERING CIRCUIT GROUNDS, HOLDER VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL RISKS RELATED TO EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 AND ALL OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASES.
Holder agrees to not attend the Event if any such individual has been directed by a healthcare provider or public health authority to quarantine, isolate, or otherwise refrain from interacting with members of the public due to a diagnosis of or exposure to COVID-19 or any other illness or other medical condition.
The Promoter is not responsible for lost, stolen, destroyed, duplicated or counterfeit tickets and may refuse to honor the same. Use of tickets in violation of law is prohibited and will result in seizure, revocation, cancellation and/or forfeiture of the license without refund.
The Promoter reserves the right to terminate, supplement, amend or otherwise modify these Terms and Conditions, or impose new conditions of use, at any time and it is Holder’s responsibility to check these terms periodically for changes. The Promoter will endeavor to provide notice to Holder of such modifications, to be communicated through one or several methods as determined and selected solely by the Promoter. Methods the Promoter may employ by way of example only are (i) posting on this or another page of the Event’s website and/or (ii) emailing to any email address that Holder provided to the Promoter. Changes to the Terms and Conditions shall be deemed effective as of their stated effective or modification date.
No representation, warranty or guarantee is made by the Promoter or any Releasee to Holder regarding the view of the Event from the seat or standing room location associated with the ticket. Holder acknowledges and understands that the view from certain areas may be impaired because of the location of the Event, the type of set-up for the Event, the weather, or by other reasons related to the manner of presentation or activities of the Event.
The Promoter expressly reserves the right to prohibit use of the seat or standing room location associated with the ticket, or relocate Holder, to any other seat or standing room location for any reason.
The Promoter will be excused for any failure to perform under these Terms and Conditions to the extent that the affected performance is prevented by any reason outside of the Promoter’s or its employees’ or agents’ reasonable control or that may be characterized as a force majeure event.
The rights licensed pursuant to these Terms and Conditions are rights of personal privilege and do not under any circumstances confer upon Holder any interest or estate in real property or any leasehold or possessory interest in the Circuit and any related grounds, and the relationship between the Promoter and Holder is that of licensor and licensee.
These Terms and Conditions and all the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Promoter and Holder and their respective successors and permitted assigns concerning Holder’s use of the ticket. Other terms, conditions, rules and regulations outside of those contained or referenced in these Terms and Conditions govern other aspects of Holder’s and Holder’s guests/invitees attendance at the Event (many of which are found on the official Event website), which Holder and all guests should review these policies in advance.
No failure by the Promoter to exercise or any delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by the Promoter operates as a waiver of such right. A single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by the Promoter does not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or remedy. A waiver is not valid or binding on the Promoter unless made in writing.
Holder agrees not to give or offer this ticket in a manner that would constitute a violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Anti-Bribery Act, any other anti-bribery law or regulation, or any conflicts of interest law, regulation, or policy.
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions or any Supplemental Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed severed and not affect the enforceability of any other provisions, which shall be enforced as if the Terms and Conditions and/or Supplemental Terms, as applicable, did not contain the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision. The terms “include”, “including” and variations thereof used in this revocable license (irrespective of whether such terms are followed by “without limitation”) are used to introduce examples and shall not be construed to suggest that such examples constitute an exhaustive list.
In the event of a conflict between the Terms and Conditions and any other terms or conditions applicable to the sale of the ticket, the Terms and Conditions control.
The Terms and Conditions may not be modified except as described above or in a writing signed by an authorized representative of the Promoter. Any and all rights not granted herein are expressly reserved to the Promoter.
