Premium Seat License Terms and Conditions

These Premium Seat License Terms and Conditions (these “Terms and Conditions”) apply to all single event PitchBook Suite rentals (including rentals of a portion of a PitchBook Suite), Moet & Chandon Imperial Lounge Seat(s) or other premium seat offers (as applicable, the “Premium Seats”) for events at Climate Pledge Arena (the “Arena”). By licensing the Premium Seats, you (“Licensee”) agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

 

1. Event Fee and Premium Seat Details.

(a) The fee to license the Premium Seats for an event (the “Event Fee”) consists of (i) the Premium Seat fee payable to Seattle Hockey Partners LLC (“SHP”) for the use of the Premium Seats during the applicable event (the “Event”) and (ii) the Arena fee payable to Seattle Arena Company, LLC (“ArenaCo” and together with SHP, “CPA”) for access to the Arena.

(b) The Event Fee shall be payable to ArenaCo, SHP or a third-party entity serving as collection agent for ArenaCo and SHP, as applicable and stated at the time of checkout.

(c) The Event Fee must be paid in full at the time of checkout. The Event Fee shall be deemed fully earned by CPA upon receipt and shall be non-refundable unless the Event is cancelled. Upon full payment of the Event Fee, Licensee will receive the passes, tickets and/or other benefits as selected by Licensee at checkout and confirmed in writing by CPA or their third-party designee (the terms set forth in such confirmation shall be defined as the “Reservation”).

2. Food and Beverage.

Available for purchase from CPA or their designees.

3. Admission/Access.

Licensee’s right of access to the Premium Seats shall be solely by presentation of viewing passes and/or standing room only tickets (together, the “Passes”), as applicable. If the Premium Seats include access to a private suite or hospitality club, Licensee and Licensee’s guests (“Licensee’s Guests”) will have access to such suite or hospitality club from the time the Arena is open to the public for the Event until sixty (60) minutes after the conclusion thereof, which period may be increased or decreased, and other details designated, by CPA in their discretion. Except for rights granted herein, CPA has the exclusive right to control the use and occupancy of the Premium Seats and all other portions of the Arena at all times, and to access and grant access thereto as they deem necessary or advisable, including during the Event. If the Reservation is for use of less than an entire PitchBook Suite or other premium space, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that CPA may grant to one or more third parties a license to share such PitchBook Suite or premium space with Licensee, and utilize the remaining Passes for the PitchBook Suite or premium space during the Event.

4. Prohibition on Resale.

Licensee is licensing the Premium Seats in accordance with the Reservation solely for its use and the use of Licensee’s Guests and shall not sell to the public, offer or agree to sell to the public, or permit any public sale of, whether voluntary or involuntary, any tickets issued to Licensee pursuant to the Reservation and these Terms and Conditions.

5. Rules, Regulations and Policies.

Licensee shall comply with all applicable governmental laws and orders, and with the rules and regulations adopted by CPA relating to the use and occupancy of the Premium Seats, including, without limitation:

(a) complying with the Arena procedures for the admission of Licensee, Licensee’s Guests and the distribution of Passes;

(b) maintaining proper decorum by Licensee and Licensee’s Guests so as not to interfere with CPA’s business or the enjoyment of the Event by, and the safety of, all other persons in the Arena;

(c) refraining from making any improvements, alterations or additions to the Premium Seats (including refraining from displaying any artwork, picture hangings, wall coverings, signs, notices, advertisements or other visible items in or around the Premium Seats) or to the fixtures, equipment, furnishings or anything else provided by CPA contained within the Premium Seats (or removing any of the foregoing);

(d) refraining from bringing any food, liquor, beverages, utensils or cooking equipment into the Arena without CPA’s prior written approval;

(e) ensuring that (i) no person under the age of eighteen (18) is permitted to use the Premium Seats unless accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian and (ii) no person under the age of twenty-one (21) consumes alcoholic beverages in the Premium Seats;

(f) ensuring that neither Licensee nor any of Licensee’s Guests records, captures, encodes, streams, rebroadcasts, or transmits the Event or any portion thereof; and

(g) ensuring that neither Licensee nor any individual or entity to whom Licensee distributes any Passes shall sell or offer to sell such Passes or advertise or use such Passes for sweepstakes or any other promotional, commercial or trade purposes whatsoever.

6. As-Is/Repair.

Use of the Premium Seats by Licensee is on an “AS IS” basis based on the express agreements of CPA contained in these Terms and Conditions and on Licensee’s own investigation and not in reliance on any representations or warranties by CPA or their employees or agents not expressly set forth in these Terms and Conditions. Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days of notice from CPA, bear the expense of any maintenance and repair of the Premium Seats and any other portion of the Arena caused by any negligent or intentional acts or omissions of Licensee or any of Licensee’s Guests, which expense may, at CPA’s option, be increased in the amount of CPA’s administrative expense of fifteen percent (15%).

7. Force Majeure.

If CPA is prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder because of an Act of God, natural disaster, national emergency, war, acts of terrorism (or related security or safety concerns), strike, lockout or other labor disputes, epidemic, pandemic (including COVID-19 and resulting government and/or league limitations), quarantine, or any other cause beyond the control of CPA (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), CPA shall have no obligation or liability to Licensee as a result thereof. CPA shall have the right in their sole discretion to provide Licensee with a refund and/or other accommodation, including, but not limited to, a credit in the amount of the Event Fee for use at future CPA events. In addition, with respect to any and all services, whether furnished by CPA to Licensee with or without charge, CPA shall in no event be liable for a failure to provide such services, or for the acts or omissions of any person or entity with respect to such services, resulting from a Force Majeure Event.

8. COVID-19 Protocols.

IN ORDER TO ENTER THE ARENA, ALL PATRONS (INCLUDING LICENSEE AND LICENSEE’S GUESTS) WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE COVID-19 RELATED PROTOCOLS IN EFFECT AT THE ARENA FOR THE EVENT. SUCH PROTOCOLS MAY INCLUDE PROVIDING SATISFACTORY EVIDENCE OF FULL VACCINATION AGAINST COVID-19 AND/OR OF A NEGATIVE COVID-19 TEST. THE COVID-19 TESTING AND/OR VACCINE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EVENT WILL BE AS COMMUNICATED BY CPA PRIOR TO THE EVENT, INCLUDING ON CLIMATEPLEDGEARENA.COM OR NHL.COM/KRAKEN.
