By completing registration and/or attending the event, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and Conditions.

13. RELEASE: 

By registering, you agree to release and hold harmless Medium Rare Mgmt, LLC, Credit One Bank, N.A., University, and their respective representatives, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, agents, contractors, sub-contractors and their respective members, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Covered Parties”) from and against any and all liability for any injuries, loss or damage of any kind arising from, or in connection with, the ticket giveaway and the event (including each ticket, and all travel associated with attending the event, as applicable) including, but not limited to, liability arising from copyright infringement, improper use of likeness, personal injury, death, damages or monetary loss. 

Restrictions, conditions and limitations apply.  By entering, each registrant further agrees that, in the event that there is any conflict or other inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and any advertisements, promotional or marketing materials, e-mails or announcements relevant to the giveaway, these Terms and Conditions will govern.

14. CHOICE OF LAW/DISPUTE RESOLUTION/CLASS ACTION:

These Event Registration Terms and Conditions shall be treated as though they were executed and performed in New York, New York and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of law principles).  The parties (and Covered Parties) hereby agree to arbitrate all claims that may arise under and/or relate to the Event Registration Terms and Conditions and/or the event.  Without limiting the foregoing, should a dispute arise between the parties/any Covered Parties including, without limitation, any matter concerning the event, Event Registration Terms and Conditions or the breach of same by any party hereto: (a) the parties/Covered Parties agree to submit their dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in New York, NY, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the AAA; and (b) you agree to first commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting an Initial Dispute Notice which can be found on the website. The Covered Party(ies) named in your Initial Dispute Notice (collectively, the “Named Parties”) may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Initial Dispute Notice (“Final Settlement Offer”).  If the applicable Named Party(ies) provide(s) you with a Final Settlement Offer and you do not accept it, or such Named Party(ies) cannot otherwise satisfactorily resolve your dispute and you wish to proceed, you must submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before the AAA, in your county of residence, by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration, which is available here.  For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions.  If the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than the applicable Final Settlement Offer, then the Named Party(ies) will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection with the arbitration, the Named Party(ies) will reimburse any reasonable attorneys' fees that your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against any of the Covered Parties.  You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court costs that any Covered Party incurs in seeking such relief. This provision prevents you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (i) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above; and (ii) is an independent agreement. You may opt-out of these dispute resolution provisions by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first enter the Giveaway.   

15.  DISQUALIFICATION:

The Covered Parties are not responsible for lost, interrupted or unavailable network server or other connections, miscommunications, failed telephone or computer transmissions or technical failure, lost registration, jumbled, or misdirected transmissions, or other error of any kind, whether human, mechanical or electronic.  Persons found tampering with or abusing any aspect of the giveaway, as solely determined by Organizer, will be disqualified.  If disqualified for any of the above reasons, Organizer reserves the right to terminate registrant’s eligibility to attend the event.  In the event that any portion of the giveaway is compromised by technical error, virus, bugs, non-authorized human intervention or other causes beyond the control of Organizer which, in the sole opinion of Organizer, corrupts or impairs the administration, security, fairness or proper determination of the Giveaway, Organizer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend or terminate the giveaway or any part of the giveaway, or any combination of the above.  The Covered Parties are not responsible for any problem with registrations generated by computer hardware or software malfunction, error or failure, whatever the cause.  

16. INDEMNIFICATION: 

You agree to release, indemnify and hold the Covered Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and settlement costs), damages, suits, costs, demands and/or judgments whatsoever, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (a) your improper and/or unauthorized participation in the Giveaway; (b) your breach of these Terms and Conditions; and/or (c) your violation of any rights of another individual and/or entity.  The provisions of this paragraph are for the benefit of the Covered Parties.  Each of these individuals and entities shall have the right to assert and enforce these provisions directly against you on its own behalf.

17. LEGAL WARNING: 

Any attempt by any individual, whether or not registrant, to damage, destroy, tamper with or vandalize the Site and/or associated technology, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the giveaway, is a violation of criminal and civil law and Organizer will diligently pursue any and all remedies in this regard against any offending individual or entity to the fullest extent permissible by law and in equity.
