Event Terms and Conditions

Terms of Service

1. Who we are and about these terms

• Time Out Live organizes live events (“Event(s)”), tickets (“Tickets”) to which are offered for sale at timeout.com (“the Website”) and in some cases on Third Party sites. Events are hosted by Time Out America LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business at 1540 Broadway, 42^nd Floor, New York, NY (“Time Out”, “us” or “we”). In some instances, we may partner with event producers to assist us with hosting the Event(s) (“Event Producers”), or with a third-party venue provider (“Venue”).  
• These are the terms and conditions which apply to your purchase of tickets for Events, as well some of the terms and conditions which apply to your attendance at Events (“Terms”). By purchasing a ticket and/or by attending an Event, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, do not purchase a ticket or attend an Event. You should read these Terms carefully before purchasing your ticket. We recommend you save a copy of them for your future reference.
• You acknowledge that additional restrictions and additional terms may apply to Events and/or Venues depending on the Event for which you purchase tickets. For Events where alcoholic beverages are available, access may be restricted to individuals over the age of 21.  You agree to consult the relevant Event description for details of any additional terms or restrictions before purchasing your ticket (“Additional Terms”). You acknowledge that these Terms and Additional Terms apply to ticket holders, whether or not the ticket holder is the purchaser of tickets for Events.

2. RELEASE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILTY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK
   • You warrant and represent that you are at least 18 years old.
   • You acknowledge that ATTENDANCE AT, OR PARTICIPATION IN, AN EVENT AND/OR ATTENDANCE AT, USE OF, OR ACCESS TO, ANY VENUE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK and THE RISK OF ANY TICKET HOLDER, MAY BE HAZARDOUS, and may involve risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY AND OTHER RISKS.
   • NEITHER TIME OUT NOR ANY OTHER PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR RUNNING OR OPERATING EVENTS, INCLUDING VENUE, EVENT PRODUCERS, other Event service providers (including entertainers), AND ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNEES, EMPLOYEES, VOLUNTEERS AND AGENTS (“EVENT ENTITIES”), WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PERSONAL PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY CONSEQUENTIALOR OTHER DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH ATTENDANCE AT, OR PARTICIPATION IN, AN EVENT AND/OR ATTENDANCE AT, USE OF, OR ACCESS TO, ANY VENUE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY EVENT ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
   • BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND/OR ATTENDING OR PARTICIPATING IN AN EVENT, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE: (1) THAT TICKET HOLDERS voluntarily assume all risks and dangers related to or incidental to the Event for which the ticket issues, whether occurring before, during or after the Event; AND (2) THAT TICKET HOLDERS WAIVE AND RELEASE ANY CLAIMS THAT THEY MAY HAVE AGAINST, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE, ANY EVENT ENTITY IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR ATTENDANCE AT, OR PARTICIPATION IN, AN EVENT AND/OR ATTENDANCE AT, USE OF, OR ACCESS TO, ANY VENUE; AND (3) THAT TICKET HOLDERS WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD EVENT ENTITES HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LOSSES OR LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ATTENDANCE AT, OR PARTICIPATION IN, ANY EVENT AND FROM ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, THAT MAY BE SUSTAINED BY YOU OR CAUSED TO OTHERS OR THEIR PROPERTY BY YOU.
   • IN NO EVENT WILL TIME OUT’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR CONNECTION WITH YOUR ATTENDANCE AT, OR PARTICIPATION IN, AN EVENT, EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO TIME OUT FOR A TICKET FOR AN EVENT, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO TIME OUT (AS APPLICABLE).
   • THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND TIME OUT IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, YOUR PURCHASE OF A TICKET OR ATTENDANCE AT OR PARTICIPATION IN AN EVENT.

3. About our Events

• You should ensure you arrive promptly for the Event. If you arrive late to the Event you may not be allowed to enter. The determinations of whether you arrived late, as well as the decision whether to allow late entrants to any Event, are within the sole discretion of Time Out, Event Producers and/or the Venue. If you are not permitted to enter, Time Out will not refund fees or any other costs paid by you.
• Time Out and the Venue reserve the right in their discretion, to request that any person leave an Event, including for safety and security considerations. No refund of fees or any other costs will be made in these circumstances.
• You acknowledge that Time Out, Event Producers and/or Venues may impose certain measures before allowing access to an Event or Venue, including, but not limited to, searches of the Ticket holder’s person and/or x-ray scans of clothing, bags and other items.
