6. Arbitration

It is hoped that should there be a dispute, we will be able to work it out amicably through email correspondence and telephone conference calls.

Before seeking arbitration, you must contact us in writing, and include all of your reasons for dissatisfaction with our services. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is full refund of any payment made to date. No other actions or financial awards of consequential damages, punitive or aggravated damages, or any other type of damages, may be granted to you. We both agree now that the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction in Ontario. In the event of a dispute between us, you agree to not engage in any conduct or communications, whether in public or in private including but not limited to on social media, either directly or indirectly, designed to disparage us, our company, or our website. Where requested by law or arbitration, of course, you are not prohibited from sharing your thoughts and opinions as part of the legal process.

7. Litigation. In the event a particular Dispute is not subject to arbitration (whether by decision of an arbitrator with binding authority or otherwise according to this Release or applicable law), you hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Superior Court of Ontario for the litigation of any and all disputes, controversies, and claims arising from or concerning this Release, and agree that it is not an inconvenient venue or forum.

8. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS RELEASE, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL COST OF YOUR TICKET FOR THE EVENT.

9. Successors and Assigns

Company may assign its rights or delegate its obligations, in whole or in part, without your consent or prior written notice to you, to (a) one or more of its subsidiaries/affiliates, or (b) an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of Company to which this Agreement pertains, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale, or otherwise. For purposes of this provision, “affiliate” means an entity which is subject to common control of Company. You may not assign your rights or delegate your obligations, in whole or in part, to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Company. Any purported assignment by you in violation of this section 10 shall be null and void.

10. Governing Law
