CLEVELAND GUARDIANS GROUP TICKET SALES AGREEMENT
This Cleveland Guardians Group Ticket Sales Agreement (the ¡°Agreement¡±) is entered into between the purchaser of Cleveland Guardians group tickets (¡°Group Tickets¡±) on behalf of himself/herself and the representative entity or group of people (collectively the ¡°Group¡±), and the Cleveland Guardians Baseball Company, LLC (¡°Cleveland Guardians¡±).
In consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties agree as follows:
The purchase of Group Tickets to Progressive Field (¡°Ballpark¡±) shall require the execution of this Agreement and the placement of a Group Ticket deposit (¡°Deposit¡±). Except as specified herein, the Deposit shall be non-refundable and non-transferable.
Group Ticket seat locations, pricing and game date(s) are subject to availability. Additional Group Tickets may be added to an original reservation at a later date, subject to availability. Since Cleveland Guardians individual game tickets are dynamically priced, Group Tickets reserved at a later date may be priced differently than those Group Tickets previously reserved.
Full payment for Group Tickets is required at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Group outing. In the event Group Tickets are reserved within thirty (30) days from the date of the Group outing, then full payment is required at the time of the reservation. All payments for Group Tickets must be made through the Cleveland Guardians Group Sales Department.
Group Ticket sales are final and no refunds or exchanges will be made, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or pursuant to the Cleveland Guardians Ticket Terms and Conditions located at cleguardians.com. If the Ballpark gates open for the scheduled game date event, then food will be served for the picnic areas, Club seating and Private Suites, rain or shine.
Each Group Ticket is a limited, revocable license (the ¡°Revocable License¡±) granted by the Cleveland Guardians to attend the baseball game at the Ballpark listed on the applicable Group Ticket. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Group acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the Revocable License may be terminated by the Cleveland Guardians at any time with or without cause in the sole discretion of the Cleveland Guardians. Any Deposit or Group Tickets purchased will be refunded in the event the Cleveland Guardians terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5, unless such termination results from the Group¡¯s material breach of this Agreement.
The Cleveland Guardians may change the location of your Group Tickets to another location in the Ballpark comparable to or better than the location originally reserved if the reserved location is unavailable for any reason, or any safety or public health restrictions or requirements (¡°Public Health Regulations¡±) are instituted that limit the availability of seating in the location. The Cleveland Guardians have the sole discretion to determine whether alternative seating locations are ¡°comparable to or better than¡± the Group Tickets seating locations initially purchased.
A Group representative (¡°Group Account Holder¡±) will have the option to manage the Group Tickets digitally through a My Guardians Tickets Account (¡°Group Account¡±), or may choose to have the Group Tickets printed by the Cleveland Guardians for an additional service and handling fee. The Cleveland Guardians reserve the right to set a limit on how many Group Tickets a Group may purchase.
The terms and conditions applicable to the Group Tickets and the Group Account include those provided:
- in this Agreement;
- on each Group Ticket (which are incorporated by reference in this Agreement);
- on the Cleveland Guardians website at www.cleguardians.com;
- on any signage at the Ballpark; and
- orally or in writing by authorized Cleveland Guardians or Ballpark personnel.
The Cleveland Guardians reserve the right to amend or supplement the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement by (i) providing written notice to the Group Account Holder or (ii) posting such revisions or amendments to the terms and conditions on www.cleguardians.com when adopted by the Cleveland Guardians. It is the responsibility of the Group to read and comply with all information. The Cleveland Guardians are not responsible for problems, losses or inconveniences experienced because a Group did not read information regarding the Group Account or this Agreement, or because the information was mailed to a former or incorrect physical or e-mail address.
Group Accounts shall not be assigned or transferred in any manner without the express consent of the Cleveland Guardians. In the event of any purported transfer, offer of transfer, or attempted transfer of a Group Account, the Cleveland Guardians have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement and the Group Account by providing written notice to the Group. Only the Group Account Holder of record is allowed to make any changes to the Group Account. The Group Account Holder or other Group representative should contact the Cleveland Guardians by mail or phone if contact information changes. The Cleveland Guardians reserve the right to require any representative of the Group to provide proof of identity and authorization to act before making any Group Account changes.
By attending any Cleveland Guardians baseball game, each holder of a Group Ticket (¡°Group Ticket Holder¡±) assumes all risk and danger incidental to the baseball game, and all other activities, promotions or events at the Ballpark before, during or after the baseball game, including, but not limited to, the danger of being injured by equipment, objects or persons entering spectator areas.

Group Tickets may be replaced at the sole discretion of the Cleveland Guardians who may impose an additional cost. Stolen Group Tickets will be replaced only upon written request made by the Group, accompanied with a police report identifying the theft of the Group Tickets.

- In consideration for being allowed to purchase Group Tickets, each Group Ticket Holder agrees that ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE PURCHASE, SALE OR USE OF CLEVELAND GUARDIANS TICKETS OR ATTENDANCE AT THE CLEVELAND GUARDIANS GAMES SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (¡°AAA¡±) in accordance with its then governing rules and procedures, including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, where applicable. Group Ticket Holders and the Cleveland Guardians WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY in any action or proceeding involving any claim regarding the Group Tickets and/or this Agreement. Any claim arising under this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio. The arbitration shall be held in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Group Ticket Holders and the Cleveland Guardians agree that the arbitrator shall have authority to award legal and equitable relief available in the courts of the State of Ohio, provided that: (1) the arbitrator shall not have authority to award consequential damages (regardless of foreseeability) or punitive damages; and (2) any and all claims shall be arbitrated on an individual basis only, and shall not be consolidated or joined with or in any arbitration or other proceeding involving a claim of any other party.
