This OBC User Agreement describes the terms and conditions governing your use of our services for the TEAM TICKET RESERVATIONS ("TeamTix") available under the domain www.orangebowl.org (the "Services"). These terms and conditions apply to all users of this website (the "Site"). By completing the registration process and clicking the "I AGREE" button at the end of it, you acknowledge your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not use or access the Services since use of the Site constitutes acceptance of these terms. Before attempting to use our system, please refer to our FAQ, which explain how to register your account, how to buy, sell and place bids on TeamTix (which are described below and sometimes called "Listings"), and other important features of our marketplace. We urge you to read this OBC User Agreement, which includes our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, each of which is incorporated by reference. You should be aware that this Agreement contains disclaimers and limitations of warranty in Sections 13 and 15 and is subject to the arbitration clause as outlined in the "Applicable Law and Disputes" section contained in the Privacy Policy.

1. Introduction to the OBC and TEAM TICKET RESERVATIONS.

   Before considering the legal terms in the sections below, we wish to tell you about our marketplace. The OBC is a venue where members can purchase and sell TEAM TICKET RESERVATIONS. The rights to attend the Orange Bowl represented by TEAM TICKET RESERVATIONS and other instruments are granted by the OBC who is responsible for underwriting and staging such event or providing such products. We simply provide an independent marketplace where interested buyers and sellers can meet to transact at prices established by them in a fair and open market. Moreover, our payment protocol protects a seller from buyer default. We, of course, are not responsible for matters outside our reasonable control including, without limitation, cancellation, postponement or interruption of the game, unauthorized use of a credit card, or credit card fraud, or the personal safety of fans or audiences attending the Game. A TEAM TICKET RESERVATION is an instrument which: (i) gives the holder the right to purchase a ticket to the Game, the occurrence of which may be known or is contingent upon one or more factors and (ii) obligates the holder to purchase the ticket if the Game is scheduled to occur. The price of a TEAM TICKET RESERVATION is separate from and in addition to the price a holder will have to pay for the underlying ticket if the Game is scheduled to occur. If the Game does not occur, the holder will not be entitled to a refund of the TEAM TICKET RESERVATION price.

2. User Eligibility.

   The OBC marketplace is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older or who have reached the age of majority to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are not available to minors or to suspended or terminated users. If you do not qualify, please do not use the Services.

3. Transaction Fees and Listings.

   You can view our Listings free of charge without registering. In order to buy, sell, or bid on any of our Listings, or submit user submissions, you must register with the OBC. The buyer and seller of a listing on our system (respectively "Buyer" and "Seller") each pay a transaction fee. Please see our FAQ section to view the fees for each market. The transaction fee paid by the Seller is deducted from the proceeds of sale. The transaction fee paid by the Buyer is added to the cost of the transaction and is clearly stated before the transaction takes place. When you place an order you have an opportunity to review and accept the transaction price and fee that you will be charged in the event of a transaction. We may in our sole discretion change, remove or suspend some or all of our Listings or Services and the fees we charge at any time. In the event we introduce a new Listing or Service, these fees are applicable (unless specifically stated otherwise) for that Listing or Service and are effective at its launch. Unless otherwise stated, all fees for transactions are quoted in US Dollars. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using our service and the Site and any applicable taxes.

4. The Role of the OBC.

   The OBC offers (1) one marketplace to its users for the Orange Bowl. OBC-Supplied Marketplace. The OBC Marketplace, through its electronic registration of Listings offered on our marketplace, stands responsible for the authenticity of Listings registered on the OBC Marketplace. The delivery of Listings is the sole responsibility of the OBC. Where delivery of a Listing is refused, prevented, hindered, delayed or otherwise made impractical beyond the OBC's reasonable control, and such occurrence cannot be overcome by reasonable diligence and without unusual expense, the OBC shall be excused from delivery and have the right, but not the obligation, to compensate the TEAM TICKET RESERVATION holder at the close of the market with a payment equal to 125% of the average trading price of the last ten trades immediately prior to the market closing for that TEAM TICKET RESERVATION marketplace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the OBC refund a user less than what they paid for the TEAM TICKET RESERVATION should delivery of the tickets not occur.

5. Grant of License.

   You grant the OBC a perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free right to exercise publicity, database, trademark and copyright rights, including the right to reproduce, modify, adapt, publish and display on the Site and on the Sites of our partners and affiliated companies, any content you may provide to the OBC in connection with your use of the OBC services. You agree that the OBC shall be permitted to use your name or user ID, home city and other ancillary information (for example, the number of years you have been a OBC user) in connection with the content in conjunction with OBC's marketing, promotion and publicity efforts in any media known now or in the future. The OBC is permitted to publish and display your transaction information on the Site and to provide any of the information you furnish us to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

6. Release.

   As discussed above, the OBC acts as a marketplace only to allow Buyers and Sellers to interact regarding Listings. The submission and confirmation of orders are transactions between Buyers and Sellers only. If you have a dispute with one or more parties or registered users, you release the OBC and all affiliated companies, officers, directors, members, agents, parents, subsidiaries, legal representatives and employees from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

   IN NO EVENT SHALL THE OBC BE LIABLE FOR GAME CANCELLATIONS, POSTPONEMENTS OR INTERRUPTIONS, FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF A CREDIT CARD OR CREDIT CARD FRAUD, FOR THE PERSONAL SAFETY OF FANS OR AUDIENCES ATTENDING THE GAME OR FOR OTHER MATTERS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL.

7. Making a Bid and Buying.

   There are two methods of purchasing a Listing, either buying it outright at its offered price or making a bid. In either case, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions in this Agreement. Since all prices for TEAM TICKET RESERVATIONS are quoted in US Dollars, foreign purchasers bear the risk of currency fluctuation between the date of your purchase and the date your charges are converted to your home currency in accordance with the policy of your credit card company.

   Buying Outright. Prior to executing a final purchase you will be asked to confirm your intent to purchase. Upon confirmation of a purchase, the OBC will charge the Buyer's account or credit card for the sale price of the TEAM TICKET RESERVATION, transaction fee and any taxes. Such confirmed purchase shall be final and cannot be canceled.

   Bid. Bids are final and may not be retracted unless you follow and otherwise comply with the instructions on the Site under FAQ to cancel or modify (if applicable) a bid. Before purchasing a Listing by making a bid, you will need to fund your account using a major credit card with sufficient funds to cover your bid should it transact. Subject to our withdrawal policy, you may withdraw such amounts at any time after you withdraw your bid (if not already matched) in accordance with the instructions on the Site under FAQ. When you post a bid that is later matched with an offer-to-sell, the purchase will occur at the time of matching, and the bidder's account will be charged at that time. Although you will be asked to confirm your bid when it is placed, no separate confirmation will be sought when your bid is matched. You acknowledge that if your bid is accepted, you will be required to pay the price for the TEAM TICKET RESERVATION and related transaction fees as posted in the marketplace.

   If you fail to pay any amounts owed under this Agreement, you agree to reimburse the OBC for any collection costs incurred in collecting such amounts.

8. Making an Offer and Selling.

   If you post a Listing on our marketplace and receive at least one bid or offer to purchase your Listing at or above your posted offer-to-sell price, the transaction with that bidder will happen immediately upon matching with the bid or offer to purchase; you may not withdraw your Listing after the transaction occurs. Your account on the OBC Site will be credited with the sale price of the item, less the transaction fee and any taxes. At any time you may make a permitted withdrawal of any available balance in your account on the OBC Site. Withdrawals are typically processed within 20 days from the date of your request.

9. Termination of Privileges.

   Without limiting any other remedies, the OBC may suspend or terminate your User privileges or deny you access if we suspect that: you have engaged in fraudulent, deceptive or dishonest activity in connection with the Sites; you have manipulated or attempted to manipulate the price of any Listing; you have entered into any transaction on the system that has been directly or indirectly prearranged; you have directed or requested another user to alter the price of a Listing, bid or offer-to-sell; or you have used the Site for any unlawful purpose.
