CREDENTIAL USE CONDITIONS
A credential is issued for the sole purpose of providing venue access to an individual (“Bearer”) who is: (i) providing event-related services in connection with the Premier Lacrosse League, Inc. (“PLL”) (including any of its owned properties, such as Women’s Lacrosse League (“WLL”) or Street Lacrosse), (ii) attending a PLL event as a guest of a PLL staff member, or (iii) attending a PLL Assists, Inc. event. All such events shall collectively be “Events” and each, an “Event”. An Event shall include all practices, games, pre-game, half-time, and post-game activities, interviews, or other activities hosted by PLL in connection with an Event weekend. This credential is non-transferable, and any unauthorized use of this credential or violation of its terms may subject Bearer and/or Bear’s employer (as applicable) to ejection from the venue, revocation of the credential, denial of access to Events in the future, prosecution for civil or criminal trespass, and any other remedies available under law. The credential and Bearer’s access to an Event venue are subject to all safety and health requirements put in place by the PLL and the applicable venue (all such safety and health requirements and policies, as they may be updated from time to time in the sole discretion of PLL or the venue, “Safety Requirements”). Bearer acknowledges and agrees to comply with such Safety Requirements (including all requirements that must be satisfied prior to an Event), and attendance at an Event is conditioned on such compliance. Neither Bearer (or if Bearer is member of the media, his or her assigning news organization), nor Bearer’s employer (if applicable) shall be permitted to record, transmit, use, license or distribute (including, by way of example only, to any owner or operator of a casino, sportsbook, and/or fantasy sports organization for any purpose) any film, video or audio of any Event (or any excerpts thereof), including but not limited to on a live streaming basis or in a high-speed sequential manner (e.g., animated .GIFs) so as to approximate video. Provided, however, in the case of the media, if an assigning news organization has been authorized by the PLL to record, transmit or use film, video or audio excerpts of an Event pursuant to the PLL’s Videographer Limited License, as provided in the Media Credential Guidelines, it may do so in accordance with the terms of the Videographer Limited License. All ownership, copyright and property rights in each Event (including, without limitation, the statistics thereof) and in any telecast, broadcast, transmission or recording thereof shall remain the sole property of the PLL, and no such rights are conferred to or intended to be conferred to, or created on behalf of, Bearer or any other person or entity by the issuance of this credential. Bearer and, if applicable, his or her employer or assigning news organization, provider or vendor: (i) assume all risk incident to bearer’s attendance at events (including, without limitation, personal injury (including death), sickness (including illness and other risks of exposure to COVID-19, or any other communicable disease or illness, or a bacteria, virus or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness), lost, stolen, damaged or confiscated property, and all other hazards arising from, or related in any way to, the Events (including complying with the Safety Requirements), whether occurring prior to, during or after a Event), in each case, howsoever caused, whether by negligence or otherwise; (ii) agree to release, indemnify and hold harmless each of the pll, the venue, and their respective affiliates, direct and indirect owners, officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents, contractors, employees, successors and assigns (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASED ENTITIES”) from and against all claims, liability, loss, damage or expense resulting from or arising out of (x) Bearer’s presence at the arena/venue (which may include, without limitation, Bearer’s exposure to COVID-19), (y) Bearer’s acts or omissions or (z) the presence at a venue of any cameras, wires, cabling or other equipment brought on the premises or used by Bearer, if applicable; and (iii) grant permission to the pll and its affiliates and their designees to utilize without compensation Bearer’s image, likeness and/or voice in any photograph or live or recorded video or audio display or other transmission or reproduction of any Event or in any excerpt thereof. NEITHER BEARER NOR, IF APPLICABLE, ITS EMPLOYER, ASSIGNING NEWS ORGANIZATION, PROVIDER OR VENDOR WILL BE ENTITLED TO CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND for any reason, including but not limited to, if an Event is cancelled, regardless of whether it is replayed or rescheduled. The Bearer and the Bearer’s belongings may be searched upon entry into an arena/venue and/or other security checkpoints, prohibited items (which may include, without limitation, bags) may be confiscated at the sole discretion of the PLL and/or the venue, and the Bearer hereby consents to the foregoing and waives any related claims that might arise against any of the Released Entities. If Bearer elects not to consent, Bearer will be denied access to the arena/venue. THE BEARER and, IF APPLICABLE, his or her employer or assigning news organization, provider, or vendor AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN ANY WAY RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE CREDENTIAL, THE CREDENTIAL USE CONDITIONS, OR THE BEARER’S PRESENCE AT, TRAVEL TO, OR PROVISION OF SERVICES AT, AN EVENT, AND ANY ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED THEREWITH, SHALL BE RESOLVED BY MANDATORY, CONFIDENTIAL, FINAL, AND BINDING ARBITRATION IN THE CITY WHERE THE VENUE AT WHICH THE APPLICABLE EVENT TOOK PLACE IS LOCATED. The arbitration shall be held before a neutral, single arbitrator conducted by the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) in accordance with the EFFECTIVE JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law (which is applicable because the PLL IS engaged in transactions involving interstate commerce with respect to Events). The costs of such arbitration shall be split evenly among the parties except upon an arbitrator’s finding that such split renders the arbitration cost-prohibitive to the BEARER. Any and all issues relating or pertaining to arbitration or this arbitration clause, including but not limited to the threshold question of arbitrability or the enforceability or validity of this arbitration clause shall be delegated exclusively to the arbitrator selected pursuant to this provision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. THE BEARER and, IF APPLICABLE, his or her employer or assigning news organization, provider, or vendor FURTHER AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION. IF THE BEARER or his or her employer or assigning news organization, provider, or vendor DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, THE BEARER MAY NOT ENTER OR MUST LEAVE THE VENUE BECAUSE AGREEMENT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION IS A CONDITION OF USE OF THE CREDENTIAL TO WHICH THE BEARER IS NOT OTHERWISE ENTITLED. The PLL and any of its designees may at any time revoke a credential and/or any of the rights granted hereunder for any reason in its sole discretion. In case of any dispute regarding the terms and conditions of this agreement, New York law will apply (without regard to its choice-of-law principles). Acceptance of a credential constitutes agreement by Bearer and, if applicable, his or her employer or assigning news organization, provider or vendor to abide by the (i) foregoing conditions, (ii) the Media Credential Guidelines, (iii) all health and safety protocols of the PLL and venue (including the Safety Requirements). If any provision of the terms referred to in clauses (i)-(iii) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The Bearer must also comply with all federal, local and state laws, rules and regulations. For clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other PLL rules, the credential does not grant any right to a Bearer working for an authorized provider or vendor of game-related services to provide news coverage of any Event (i.e., as opposed to a Bearer working on an assignment for a legitimate news organization). No autographs are allowed during media access periods. Copying, duplicating or otherwise reproducing or distributing a credential or its image in any manner, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.
