b) it cannot be guaranteed that Holder or any Accompanying Party will not be exposed to COVID-19 or Communicable Disease, and that as such, potential exposure to or contraction of COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease are risks inherent in Holder’s decision to use this ticket and cannot be eliminated.

FAN HEALTH PROMISE

Holder further acknowledges and understands that, if infected with COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease, Holder and/or any Accompanying Party may infect others that they may subsequently come in contact with, even if they are not experiencing or displaying any symptoms of illness, and that the risk of exposure remains at all times. Accordingly, Holder further agrees that neither Holder nor any Accompanying Party will attend the Event, if on the date of the Event, they are required or recommended by Health and Safety Rules to stay at home, quarantine or isolate (e.g., as a result of testing positive for, experiencing symptoms of, or being in direct contact with someone who tested positive for, COVID-19 or other Communicable Disease).

RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE

HOLDER, ON BEHALF OF HOLDER AND ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY AND THEIR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, HEIRS, SPOUSE, GUARDIANS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND NEXT OF KIN AND ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY THAT MAY BE ENTITLED TO MAKE A CLAIM ON THEIR BEHALF, HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES, DISCHARGES, HOLDS HARMLESS AND COVENANTS NOT TO SUE THE CLUB AND THE RELEASED PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, LIABILITY OR DEMAND OF WHATEVER KIND OR NATURE, EITHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR PERSONAL INJURIES OR WRONGFUL DEATH), THAT MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATE IN ANY WAY TO, (A) USE OF THIS TICKET, (B) PRESENCE AT THE BALLPARK OR (C) PARTICIPATION IN THE EVENT OR ANY RELATED ACTIVITIES ARRANGED, PROMOTED AND/OR SPONSORED BY THE RELEASED PARTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE CLAIMS THAT ARISE AS A RESULT OF: (1) IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THE SOLE, JOINT, OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, AND/OR (2) THE INHERENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VISITING THE BALLPARK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION (i) ALL CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURIES, WRONGFUL DEATH OR EXPOSURE TO OR CONTRACTION OF COVID-19 OR OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASE BY HOLDER, ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY OR OTHER INDIVIDUALS EXPOSED TO COVID-19 OR OTHER COMMUNICABLE DISEASE BY HOLDER OR ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY; AND (ii) ALL CLAIMS IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPLICATION OF ANY HEALTH AND SAFETY RULES TO HOLDER OR ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY.

MANDATORY AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

The Club and Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties each may elect to resolve any and all claims and disputes arising out of or relating in any way to the use of this ticket, except for claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement (which are for a court to decide), through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

“Claims” has the broadest reasonable meaning and also includes, without limitation, initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims; disputes based upon contract, negligence, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity; and data breach or privacy claims. Claims are subject to arbitration even if they arise out of or relate to actions, omissions or other conduct that occurred prior to the date that Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties agrees to these Terms and Conditions by utilizing the ticket.

This Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law. If the Club or Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties elect to resolve a dispute by arbitration, neither shall have the right to a court or jury trial or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other customary rights that the Club and Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties would otherwise have if either went to court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and the right to appeal. The Club and Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties each understand and agree that by allowing each other to elect to resolve any dispute through individual arbitration, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION, THE APPLICABLE DISPUTE SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties without the express written consent of all parties.

Arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the applicable AAA rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. Account Holder may obtain information about arbitration, arbitration procedures and fees from AAA by calling 800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. If AAA is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator that both parties agree upon in writing or that is appointed by a court with jurisdiction pursuant to Section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration shall take place in the District of Columbia. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in an individual action in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to the Club and Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. Any finding, award or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only to that arbitration. No finding, award or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any Claim. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, except for any appeal rights under the FAA. The Club and Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties agree that this Arbitration Agreement extends to any other parties involved in any Claims. This Arbitration Agreement shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator and the other provisions in these Terms and Conditions in the event of any conflict.

The Club will be responsible for paying all arbitration fees other than the lower amount of filing fees that Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties would have incurred in either a state or federal court with jurisdiction over the Claims, as applicable. The parties shall also bear the fees and expenses of their own attorneys, experts and witnesses unless otherwise required by applicable law, these Terms and Conditions or the administrator’s rules. If the arbitrator determines that any party’s claim or defense is frivolous or wrongfully intended to oppress or harass the other party, the arbitrator may award sanctions in the form of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party if such sanctions could be imposed under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Club or Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties may seek relief in a small claims court (or an equivalent court) for Claims within its jurisdiction; however, if the dispute is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, either party may elect to compel arbitration. In addition, the Club or Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties each may exercise any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help, without waiving the right to arbitrate by doing so. Either party may also bring an individual action in court that is limited to preventing the other party from obtaining a provisional remedy or using self-help and that does not involve a request for damages or monetary relief of any kind.

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement, subject to two exceptions: (i) if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be void; and (ii) if a court determines that a public injunctive relief Claim may proceed notwithstanding the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief Claim will be decided by a court, any individual Claims will be arbitrated, and the parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctive relief Claim until the other Claims have been finally concluded. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the license granted by Holder and/or any Accompanying Party’s/Parties’ use of the ticket, any death, incapacity, sale or assignment, and/or Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s/Parties’ or the Club’s bankruptcy or insolvency (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

HOLDER AND/OR ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY/PARTIES HAS/HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, BUT HOLDER AND/OR ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY/PARTIES MUST EXERCISE THIS RIGHT PROMPTLY AS SET FORTH BELOW. If Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties does not wish to be bound by this Arbitration Agreement, Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties must notify the Club in writing within sixty (60) days after the date Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties agrees to these Terms and Conditions. Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties must send its request to: Washington Nationals, 1500 South Capitol Street, SE, Washington, DC 20003 Attn: Legal Department. The request must include Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s/Parties’ full name, address, account number, and the statement “I reject the Arbitration Agreement contained in the Washington Nationals 2024 Ticket Terms and Conditions.” If Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties exercises its right to reject arbitration, the other terms of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect as if Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties had not rejected arbitration.
