This page explains the rules that apply when you visit the Show-Score website. When you visit our site, you’re agreeing to all the rules on this page so please read these Terms of Service carefully. We want these rules to be clear and easy to understand, and have included summaries of the legal terms in these white boxes. The summaries are provided to help you understand the rules, but are not part of the binding rules.
ShowScore Holdings, Inc. ("Show-Score" or "we") owns and operates the Show-Score.com website ("Site"). "Services" are the services offered by Show-Score in connection with the Site or its features. A "Site Visitor" is anyone who visits our Site, whether or not they also register for an account.
By visiting the Site and using the Services, you agree to these legally binding rules ("Terms"), including the Privacy Policy, Community Agreements, and the other rules of the Site. You represent and warrant that you have the right, authority and capacity to abide by these Terms.
You will encounter links on the site to other websites, including links to show box offices, third party sponsor, advertisers, and partners. Please note that these websites are not covered by this Privacy Statement or Terms of Service. Ticket purchases made on TodayTix, Inc. are subject to their Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
These terms include a class action waiver and a waiver of jury trials, and require binding arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes. These terms of use limit the remedies that may be available to you in the event of a dispute.
We may change these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of important changes, either by posting a notice on the Site or sending you an email. The Terms posted on the Site will say when that version went into effect. If you continue to use the Site after a change, then you have accepted the new Terms.

If you do not want your information shared with a social media service, do not register your Site account using your login for that service.

USE OF THE SITE AND THE SERVICES IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.
If using the Site or Services results in something happening, we're not liable other than for a small amount.
IN NO EVENT WILL SHOW-SCORE BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, EVEN IF SHOW-SCORE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SHOW-SCORE'S MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF YOUR ACTUAL DAMAGES OR USD $50.00. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE OR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS IS TO STOP USING THE SITE OR SERVICES.

You agree to hold us harmless from any loss, claims, and more. Read below for specifics:
You agree to indemnify and hold Show-Score and its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, licensees, sub-licensees, and sponsors harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that arise directly or indirectly out of or from (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) any allegation that any Member Content, or any other content that you post on the Site, infringes or otherwise violates the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party; or (c) your activities in connection with the Member Content or the Site and Services.

This section outlines the process for resolving disputes, and includes important information about each party's rights. Any disputes with us have to be handled through binding arbitration under New York State law.
THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, U.S.A., WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW, AND REGARDLESS OF YOUR LOCATION.
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND SHOW-SCORE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU AND SHOW-SCORE EACH WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes ("Supplementary Procedures"), as amended by these terms. The arbitrator will conduct hearings by teleconference or videoconference, unless the arbitrator determines upon a party's request that an in-person hearing is appropriate. An in-person appearance will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. The AAA or the arbitrator will designate the location if the parties are unable to agree on a location. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for your benefit.
The following provisions are in just about every online agreement. They ensure that these Terms are binding.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the other material referenced in these are the entire agreement between you and Show-Score regarding the Site and Services. They supersede all other communications and proposals between you and Show-Score regarding the Site or Services. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
These Terms are personal to you. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense these Terms without our express prior written consent. We have the right to assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of our rights or obligations under these Terms without your consent. We can send you notices by posting to the Site or by email, or by regular mail.
The headings, captions and section summaries contained herein are for convenience only, and in no way define any provision. Without limitation, a printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Show-Score will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control.
