Service Levels

Devices. WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR OTHERWISE WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR DEVICE, INCLUDING THE CONTINUING COMPATIBILITY OF THE DEVICE WITH OUR AAC WI-FI SERVICE.  By using the AAC Wi-Fi Service, you agree to look solely to the entity that manufactured and/or sold you the device for any issues related to the device and its compatibility with the AAC Wi-Fi Service.  If your device is sold, lost or stolen, please deactivate the AAC Wi-Fi Service for that device.

Maintenance and Technical Standards.  AAC agrees to maintain the accessibility of the AAC Wi-Fi Service in a manner consistent with capacity and performance standards set forth herein and current telecommunications and Internet industry standards, as the same may change from time to time.  For measurements required herein, AAC may assume a stable, standard connection to the Internet and measurements made at random times throughout the day.  Upon request, AAC will provide you with a list of minimum recommended and technical equipment standards for access to and use of the AAC Wi-Fi Service, and you acknowledge that optimal performance will not be available if recommended standards are not met.  Under no circumstances will AAC be liable for any damage or loss resulting from a cause over which AAC does not have control, including, without limitation, failure of electronic or mechanical equipment or communications lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, general inoperability of the Internet, unauthorized access, theft, operator error, severe weather, earthquakes, and strikes or other labor problems.

Service Availability.  While AAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain access to the AAC Wi-Fi Service 24 hours per day 7 days a week during an event at the Venue, access to the AAC Wi-Fi Service will be maintained at an availability standard of 99% as measured over the course of a calendar month, excluding standard exceptions. Standard exceptions to the 99% service-availability standard include scheduled maintenance, maintenance downtime to resolve extraordinary technical problems with any software or the host operating environment, force majeure (including state or federally declared natural disasters in AAC’s data center locations), or technical difficulties attributable to any non-AAC computer hardware, or technical difficulties attributable to your interface with the Subscription AAC Wi-Fi Service unless such technical difficulties are the direct fault of AAC.  In the event that the service-availability standard in a calendar month falls below 99%, you may request in writing a report of availability from AAC and if such report confirms the downtime, you may terminate the AAC Wi-Fi Service.  The foregoing shall be your sole and exclusive remedy and AAC’s sole and exclusive liability for breach of the performance standards set forth in this section and your inability to access or use the AAC Wi-Fi Service.

Service Updates.  We may update the AAC Wi-Fi Service in its sole discretion. In addition, we continually test various aspects of the AAC Wi-Fi Service, including the software, sites, user interfaces, service levels, plans, promotional features, updates, fixes, optimizations, delivery, and pricing.  We reserve the right to, and by using the AAC Wi-Fi Service you agree that we may, include you in or exclude you from these tests without notice.  We reserve the right in our sole and absolute discretion to make changes from time to time and without notice in how we offer and operate the AAC Wi-Fi Service.

AAC may or may not notify you in advance of such suspension. Enforcement may be both automated and manual, and can include disabling access, restricting access to certain functionality, or any other similar action deemed appropriate by AAC.

Term And Termination

Term and Termination.  These Wi-Fi User Terms shall continue in effect for as long as an Order is in effect referencing these Wi-Fi User Terms. Each Order shall continue throughout the initial subscription term designated in the Order and shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at the end of the initial term or any renewal term until either party gives the other party written notice of non-renewal before the expiration of the initial term or the then-current renewal term. 

Termination for Breach.  An Order may be terminated by the non-breaching party if a party breaching a material term of the Order or these Wi-Fi User Terms fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days following written notice of breach from the non-breaching party specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach. If an Order is terminated by AAC as a result of your breach, in addition to any other remedies that AAC may have, all amounts owed by you and unpaid as of the date of such termination shall be immediately due and payable to AAC. Any provision contained in these Wi-Fi User Terms that, by its nature, is intended to survive expiration or termination shall so survive.

To cancel, go to the “Your Account” page and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your subscription, your account will automatically close within thirty (30) days.

Confidentiality

Definition of Confidential Information.  As used in these Wi-Fi User Terms, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by AAC to you, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information shall include the AAC IP as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes. However, Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to AAC, (ii) was known to you prior to its disclosure by AAC without breach of any obligation owed to AAC, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to AAC, or (iv) was independently developed by you.

Protection of Confidential Information.  You shall use the same degree of care that you use to protect the confidentiality of your own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of these Wi-Fi User Terms, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by AAC in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information to those of it and its affiliates’ employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with these Wi-Fi User Terms and who have signed confidentiality agreements with you containing protections no less stringent than those herein. 

Compelled Disclosure.  You may disclose Confidential Information if you are compelled by law to do so, provided you give AAC prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at AAC’s cost, if AAC wishes to contest the disclosure.  If you are compelled by law to disclose Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which AAC is a party, and AAC is not contesting the disclosure, AAC will reimburse you for your reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.

General Provisions

Governing Law.  These Wi-Fi User Terms and each Order issued by AAC will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to any conflict of laws rule or principle that might refer governance or construction of this Agreement to the laws of another jurisdiction).  Venue for any dispute or action arising from these Wi-Fi User Terms or each Order issued by AAC shall be proper only in Dallas County, Texas, USA and you consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction in the courts lying in Dallas County, Texas, USA.

Entire Agreement.  These Wi-Fi User Terms and each Order (together with any policies or documents referenced herein) shall constitute the entire and integrated agreement between the parties with respect to the AAC Wi-Fi Service at the Venue.  There are no understandings or agreements relating thereto that are not fully expressed herein, and no change or waiver is valid unless it is in writing and executed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.  

Force Majeure.  In the event either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its non-monetary obligations hereunder due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision, the affected party’s performance will be excused and the time for performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence.  In the event that a party’s performance is prevented or delayed for more than thirty (30) days, then the other party may terminate the Order delivery of written notice to the non-performing party. 

Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of an Order or these Wi-Fi User Terms to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will be enforced, with substitution as necessary to give reasonable overall effect to the terms of the Order and these Wi-Fi User Terms. 

Injunctive Relief.  The parties understand and agree that, due to the highly competitive nature of the computer software industry, the breach of any covenants set forth in each Order or these Wi-Fi User Terms may cause irreparable injury to AAC for which no adequate remedy at law will be available.  Therefore, AAC will be entitled, in addition to such other remedies as it may have hereunder, to a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of an Order or these Wi-Fi User Terms without first posting bond or proving damages. 

Business Relationship.  Neither an Order nor these Wi-Fi User Terms create any agency, employment, joint venture, partnership, representation, or fiduciary relationship between the parties.  No party has the authority to, nor will a party attempt to, create any obligation on behalf of another party as a result of an Order or these Wi-Fi User Terms. 

Authority.  Each individual executing the Order on behalf of an entity hereby represents and warrants to the other party that such individual is duly authorized to execute, and to deliver, the Order on behalf of that entity and that such execution and delivery makes these Wi-Fi User Terms and each Order a valid and binding obligation of the entity for all purposes. 

Notices.  All notices shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to you and AAC at the addresses and to the attention of the persons designated on the Order.  AAC also may communicate with you through alerts and email in the AAC Wi-Fi Service or from AAC’s website.  You must ensure that all email addresses associated with your account are current and your system will not filter out these alerts or emails.

No Assignment. You may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of AAC. AAC may assign or subcontract its rights and obligations under these Wi-Fi User Terms without prior written notice or consent to you.

Publicity.  AAC may post a customer case study or issue a press release(s) regarding the access and use of the AAC Wi-Fi Service by you and the business relationship established under these Wi-Fi User Terms at any time during and after the term of these Wi-Fi User Terms.  AAC expressly prohibits any use, reference to, or other affiliation of its name, trademarks, service marks or trade names with you or any third party, except, in each instance, as expressly authorized in writing by AAC and subject to AAC’s quality control.

 

Arbitration of Claims. 

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.  WE WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

At AAC, we expect that our world-class customer service team will be able to resolve most issues you may have using the AAC Wi-Fi Service.  You can find frequently asked questions or contact our customer service team by going to our help center.  In the unlikely event that an issue remains unresolved, we prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later.  Accordingly, you and AAC agree to the following resolution process.

In an attempt to find the quickest and most efficient resolution of our issues, you and AAC agree to first discuss any issue informally for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by mail to us at:  [INSERT CONTACT ADDRESS].  If we would like to discuss an issue with you, we will contact you using the email address you provided when you registered for AAC.

If we do not reach an agreed upon solution after our discussions for at least thirty (30) days, you and AAC agree that any claim that either of us may have arising out of or relating to these Wi-Fi User Terms (including formation, performance, or breach of them), our relationship with each other, or use of our AAC Wi-Fi Service must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org. Upon your written request, as an exception to this arbitration agreement, AAC may give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.

To help resolve any issues between us promptly and directly, you and AAC agree to begin any arbitration within one year after a claim arises; otherwise, the claim is waived.  You and AAC also agree to arbitrate in each of our individual capacities only, not as a representative or member of a class, and each of us expressly waives any right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

Any arbitration hearings will be held in Dallas, Texas.

You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org.  If you initiate the arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Rules.  Regardless of who initiates the arbitration, AAC will pay any other arbitration fees, including your share of arbitrator compensation.

It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you’re not sure what all of this means, please feel free to ask an attorney.

Specifying what happens if an issue arises with one of our users is never a fun topic.  But we pride ourselves on transparency and we thank you in advance for understanding why it’s important that you and AAC agree on the process described in this Section.

If you are found to be in violation of these User Terms at any time, as determined by AAC in its sole discretion, AAC may warn you, suspend the affected Services on the Sites, or terminate your accounts.  AAC may change these User Terms (including the Privacy Policy) at any time, and, while AAC may send written notice of any such changes, it is your responsibility to keep up-to-date with and adhere to the posted User Terms.  Your continued access to or use of the Services on the Sites following any such change constitutes your acknowledgement of such change and your agreement to follow and be bound by the modified terms and conditions, if any. 

Account Set-Up

Browsing the Sites’ public pages is currently provided free of charge to any person. You also can sign up for our clubs and email listings or newsletters without setting up an account.  However, access to certain features of the Services on the Sites will require an account to be first established and activated.

Note that certain features of the Sites, including ticket or store purchases for events at the Venue or employment opportunities at the restaurants and shops in the Venue, redirect you to other sites operated by AAC’s authorized service providers, including Ticketmaster and Levy. AAC does not control or administer any accounts that you set up with those vendors.

Establishing an Account Administered by AAC.  You may sign up for an account by logging into our official website for the Services on the Sites administered by AAC, completing the online forms and following the directions to submit a request to become a customer and set up an account. As part of the account activation process, you must certify that you are 18 years of age or older and a resident of the United States of America. When you register for an account, you will be asked to create a unique user name and password, and enter a valid email address for your account and you also may be asked to identify each Device from which you will access the Services on the Sites. You will be asked whether you have read and agree to abide by these User Terms and any additional terms set forth on the account set up page.  If you answer "I agree" and you otherwise are eligible, your account may be activated. If you answer "I Do Not Agree" or otherwise are not eligible, your account will not be activated and you will not be permitted to access the Services on the Sites. 

Activation.  AAC reserves the right to decline to activate an account for any person for any reason. If your account is activated, you will receive a notification email immediately after you register.  Once you have confirmed, you will be permitted to log in, view, load, and use the specific features of the Services on the Sites for which you have been registered. By making such confirmation, you acknowledge that you have read these User Terms, understand your rights and obligations, and agree to be bound by these User Terms. You acknowledge that certain features of the Services on the Sites may be provided subject to additional terms and conditions (or a separate written agreement only) and you agree that you will abide by such additional terms and conditions applicable to those Services on the Sites. 

Password Protection.  You must have a password to access the Services on the Sites online via your account. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your password and protecting against unauthorized use of your password. You also are responsible for all activities that occur under your password and user name or your account made by you or others. You will immediately notify AAC if your password is lost, stolen, disclosed to an unauthorized third party or otherwise has been compromised or if there is any other breach of security.  You will be permitted to access only those portions of the Services on the Sites and the Venue for which you have been granted permission to use by AAC.

Account Requirements.  In consideration of your use of the Venue and the Services on the Sites, you agree to:  (i) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by our account activation form; and (ii) maintain and promptly update such account information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.  If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such account information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Venue or the Services on the Sites or any portion thereof.

You acknowledge that AAC may monitor and collect data related to the use of the Services on the Sites for analysis, verification, and system operations maintenance in accordance with AAC’s Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that AAC will enter into contracts with other customers who may or may not be within the same market or territory as you and that nothing in these User Terms shall restrict or limit AAC from offering the Services on the Sites to any other person or entity in any industry both during and after the term of these User Terms.

General Provisions

Governing Law.  These User Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to any conflict of laws rule or principle that might refer governance or construction of this Agreement to the laws of another jurisdiction).  Venue for any dispute or action arising from these User Terms shall be proper only in Dallas County, Texas, USA and you consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction in the courts lying in Dallas County, Texas, USA.

Entire Agreement.  These User Terms (together with any policies or documents referenced herein) shall constitute the entire and integrated agreement between the parties with respect to the Services on the Sites for the Venue.  There are no understandings or agreements relating thereto that are not fully expressed herein, and no change or waiver is valid unless it is in writing and executed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.  

Force Majeure.  In the event either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its non-monetary obligations hereunder due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision, the affected party’s performance will be excused and the time for performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence. 

Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these User Terms to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will be enforced, with substitution as necessary to give reasonable overall effect to the terms of these User Terms. 

Injunctive Relief.  The parties understand and agree that the breach of any covenants set forth in these User Terms may cause irreparable injury to AAC for which no adequate remedy at law will be available.  Therefore, AAC will be entitled, in addition to such other remedies as it may have hereunder, to a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunctive relief for any breach or threatened breach of these User Terms without first posting bond or proving damages. 

Business Relationship. These User Terms do not create any agency, employment, joint venture, partnership, representation, or fiduciary relationship between the parties.  No party has the authority to, nor will a party attempt to, create any obligation on behalf of another party as a result of these User Terms.

Notices.  All notices shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to you and AAC at the addresses and to the attention of the persons designated in your account.  AAC also may communicate with you through alerts and email in the Services on the Sites or from AAC’s website.  You must ensure that all email addresses associated with your account are current and your system will not filter out these alerts or emails.

No Assignment. You may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of AAC. AAC may assign or subcontract its rights and obligations under these User Terms without prior written notice or consent to you.

Publicity.  AAC may post a customer case study or issue a press release(s) regarding the access and use of the Services on the Sites by you and the business relationship established under these User Terms at any time during and after the term of these User Terms.  AAC expressly prohibits any use, reference to, or other affiliation of its name, trademarks, service marks or trade names with you or any third party, except, in each instance, as expressly authorized in writing by AAC and subject to AAC’s quality control.

 

Arbitration of Claims. 

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.  WE WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

At AAC, we expect that our world-class customer service team will be able to resolve most issues you may have using the Services on the Sites.  You can find frequently asked questions or contact our customer service team by going to our help center.  In the unlikely event that an issue remains unresolved, we prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later.  Accordingly, you and AAC agree to the following resolution process.

In an attempt to find the quickest and most efficient resolution of our issues, you and AAC agree to first discuss any issue informally for at least 30 days. To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by mail to us at:  [INSERT CONTACT ADDRESS].  If we would like to discuss an issue with you, we will contact you using the email address you provided when you registered for AAC.

If we do not reach an agreed upon solution after our discussions for at least thirty (30) days, you and AAC agree that any claim that either of us may have arising out of or relating to these User Terms (including formation, performance, or breach of them), our relationship with each other, or use of our Services on the Sites must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org. Upon your written request, as an exception to this arbitration agreement, AAC may give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.

To help resolve any issues between us promptly and directly, you and AAC agree to begin any arbitration within one year after a claim arises; otherwise, the claim is waived.  You and AAC also agree to arbitrate in each of our individual capacities only, not as a representative or member of a class, and each of us expressly waives any right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

Any arbitration hearings will be held in Dallas, Texas.

You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org.  If you initiate the arbitration, your arbitration fees will be limited to the filing fee set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Rules.  Regardless of who initiates the arbitration, AAC will pay any other arbitration fees, including your share of arbitrator compensation.

It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you’re not sure what all of this means, please feel free to ask an attorney.

Specifying what happens if an issue arises with one of our users is never a fun topic.  But we pride ourselves on transparency and we thank you in advance for understanding why it’s important that you and AAC agree on the process described in this Section.
