You can make your selection on Sponsor’s Promotion homepage https://f2p.premierlacrosseleague.com (the “Site”) by following the instructions provided (each selection, an “Entry”).

Each event weekend’s Entry must be made, received, and confirmed by Sponsor’s computer at least one hour before the scheduled game time for the first game in the event weekend to be eligible (the “Lock Time”). Sponsor’s computer is the official time-keeping device for this Promotion. Entries received after the Lock Time will be discarded and ineligible. 

5. HOW TO WIN. (A) The Grand Prize. You must select the winning team for each game during the 2021 Season in order to win the Grand Prize. If you fail to play or fail to select the winning team for any game in any event weekend, you will be ineligible to win the Grand Prize. If any PLL game ends in a tie, all fans will be eliminated from the Grand Prize competition. If you fail to submit an Entry for any game (including if your Entry is discarded as provided above), you will be disqualified from winning the Grand Prize. The official results for each game will be posted on: https://premierlacrosseleague.com/stats. If any game is rescheduled, the selection made for that game will be locked-in and attributed to the week the game is played. If a game is cancelled, the PLL may cancel the Promotion, in its sole discretion. In the event the Promotion is not cancelled, the PLL may ask Entrants to answer an additional question, which must be answered correctly in order to be eligible to win the Grand Prize. (D) How to Win Weekly Prizes. The PLL, its sponsors, or promoters may make available Weekly Prizes to Entrants. If weekly prizes are available, the PLL will inform Entrants by email or on the Site. If a weekly prize is offered, Entrants can win the weekly prize by correctly selecting the winning team for each game in the applicable event weekend. If two or more Entrants correctly select the winning teams and are equally close to the tie-breaker answer, the weekly prize will be awarded by a random draw. If no Entrant correctly guesses the winning team of each game in the applicable event weekend, the weekly prize will not be awarded.

6. TIMING.  The Promotion will begin on May 27, 2021 at 3pm Eastern Time and will end at the Lock Time for the Championship Game, scheduled for Sunday, September 19, 2021 (the “Promotion Period”).

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with PLL and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, which may alter your legal rights.

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your participation in the Promotion or the Prizes offered or distributed thereby, or to any aspect of your relationship with PLL, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify; and (2) you or we may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).
2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our legal team at legal@premierlacrosseleague.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at :http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352- 5267.
3. WAIVER OR JURY TRIAL. You and PLL hereby WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and PLL are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
4. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS; ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
5. Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Premier Lacrosse League, Attn: Legal Department, 615 N. Nash Street, Unit 202, El Segundo, CA 90245 within 30 days of the opening of the Auction, with a copy to legal@premierlacrosseleague.com. The written notice must provide the email address you used to set up your account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
6. Severability. Except as provided in this Section, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
7. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with us.

17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (3) no punitive, incidental, special, consequential or other damages, including without limitation lost profits may be awarded (collectively, “Special Damages”), and (4) Entrant hereby waives all rights to claim Special Damages and all rights to have such damages multiplied or increased. New York law, without reference to New York’s choice of law rules, governs the Promotion and all aspects related thereto.

18. PRIVACY. Personally identifiable information that is submitted by Entrants as part of this Promotion will be used to administer the Promotion, select prize winner and fulfill prizes, and will be treated in accordance with Sponsor’s privacy policy accessible on its website at www.premierlacrosseleague.com.
