The following are the terms of use (“Terms”) that govern your use of the Account Manager website (the “Site”), which features advanced ticketing transaction technologies and services (collectively referred to as “Advanced Services”). Some of the Advanced Services are provided by Circuit of The Americas, and some of the Advanced Services are provided by Ticketmaster (“us” or “we”). Our Privacy Policy and any other policies, rules or guidelines that may be applicable to particular offers or features on the Site are also incorporated into these Terms. These Terms shall constitute a valid, binding and enforceable legal agreement among you, Circuit of The Americas and us. There shall be no oral or implied agreement between you and us, you and Circuit of The Americas, or you, us and Circuit of The Americas, that shall be binding or enforceable. By visiting or using the Site, you expressly agree to these Terms, as may be updated from time to time.
We may make changes to these Terms at any time. Any changes we make will be effective immediately when we post a revised version of these Terms on the Site. The “Last Updated” date above will tell you when these Terms were last revised. By continuing to use this Site after that date, you agree to the changes.
COVID-19 WARNING:
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people gather. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. You assume all risks, hazards, and dangers arising from or relating in any way to the risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other communicable disease or illness, or a bacteria, virus or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness, whether occurring before, during, or after the event, however caused or contracted, and voluntarily waive all claims and potential claims against Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Event Providers, and their affiliated companies relating to such risks.

We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to monitor the Internet use by their children. If you use the Site, you affirm you are at least 13 years old.
Purchase Policy
Balls, pucks, and other objects may fly into the spectator area during an event. Despite spectator shielding, injury can occur. Stay alert at all times before, during and after play or performance. If struck, immediately ask an usher for directions to a medical station. You voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to the event for which the ticket is issued, whether occurring before, during or after the event, and you waive any claims for personal injury or death against us, management, facilities, leagues, artists, other participants, and all of our respective parents, affiliated entities, agents, officers, directors, owners and employees on behalf of yourself and any accompanying minor. You bear all risks of inclement weather. Event date and time are subject to change. See the Limitation of Liability section in the Terms of Use for additional limits on our liability.

Links
The Site contains links to other websites that may not be owned or operated by us. The fact that we may link to those websites does not indicate any approval or endorsement of those websites. We have no control over those websites. We are not responsible for the content of those websites, or the privacy practices of those websites. We strongly encourage you to become familiar with the terms of use and practices of any linked website. Your use of other websites is at your own risk and is subject to the terms of those websites. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from the Site or other sites) is free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs and other items of a destructive nature.
Access from Outside the United States
The Site is directed to people residing in the United States. We do not represent that Content available on or through the Site is appropriate or available in other locations. We may limit the availability of the Site or any service or product described on the Site to any person or geographic area at any time. If you choose to access the Site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk.
Purchasing Tickets
The Advanced Services offer you the ability to purchase tickets from individuals and businesses that hold tickets purchased from Circuit of The Americas. These individuals and businesses are the sellers of the tickets, not us or Circuit of The Americas. Although we or Circuit of The Americas may process your payment, or may be the name that you see on your credit card statement, neither we nor Circuit of The Americas is the seller of the ticket. When you purchase a ticket from a third party via the Advanced Services, the original ticket will automatically be cancelled and invalidated, your credit card will be charged the ticket price and all applicable fees, and you will be issued a new ticket. You will not be able to obtain a refund or exchange after a ticket has been purchased, unless required by law or otherwise permitted by Circuit of The Americas.
Circuit of The Americas may require you to pay a fee, to be a season ticket holder, to be on the waiting list to be a season ticket holder or to comply with a registration or other requirement, in order to view listings of, or to purchase, some or all of the tickets posted for sale. We and Circuit of The Americas make no warranty or guarantee about the quantity or quality of tickets that will be available for purchase if you pay such a fee, are a season ticket holder, are on the waiting list to be a season ticket holder or comply with registration or other requirements. Please see Circuit of The Americas website for further restrictions.
Orders are processed only after a billing address, and other billing information, has been verified. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, we will attempt to contact you, using the information provided at the time of purchase. If we are unable to reach you after our initial attempt, we may cancel your order and may sell your tickets to another customer without further notice.
If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.
Seat views displayed on the Site may not be an exact representation.
Opening acts or guests may sometimes tour with headlining performers. We are not always made aware of opening acts or the length of their performances. Opening acts, as well as festival performers, are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be owed if an opening act or festival performer is changed or canceled.
You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact us to seek a refund or exchange from us when we are prohibited from providing one by its clients, and you will not dispute or otherwise seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from the Site. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in its sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the Site.
If we issue you a refund for a ticket due to a canceled or postponed event, we will issue a refund of the ticket price paid and all service fees. In no event will delivery charges or any other amounts be refunded. If a refund is issued, it will be issued using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets. We will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed event.
Circuit of The Americas reserves the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language or who fails to comply with Circuit of The Americas rules. Breach of terms or rules will terminate your license to attend the event without refund. A ticket is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the ticket’s face amount. A ticket is not redeemable for cash.
You agree that the event for which you purchase tickets is a public event, that your appearance and actions inside and outside the venue where the event occurs are public in nature, and that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your actions or conduct at the event. You grant permission to us and the Event Provider(s) to utilize your name, image, likeness, acts, poses, plays, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video, or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at, the event (regardless of whether before, during or after play or performance) for any purpose, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, without further authorization from, or compensation to, you or anyone acting on your behalf.
We are not responsible for providing transportation or reimbursement of travel-related expenses under any circumstances unless those items are specifically included as part of a package. We are not responsible for any delay causing you to arrive late or miss your event for any reason. If our actions result in you missing your event, we will not be liable for more than your total purchase price. We are not responsible for the conditions or the actions of the crowd at any event or for any changes made at the venue including without limitation seating arrangements, stage set-up or venue conditions.
Balls, pucks, and other objects may fly into the spectator area during an event. Despite spectator shielding, injury can occur. Stay alert at all times before, during and after play or performance. If struck, immediately ask an usher for directions to a medical station. You voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to the event for which the ticket is issued, whether occurring before, during or after the event, and you waive any claims for personal injury or death against us, management, facilities, leagues, artists, other participants, and all of our respective parents, affiliated entities, agents, officers, directors, owners and employees on behalf of yourself and any accompanying minor. You bear all risks of inclement weather. Event date and time are subject to change.
You and your belongings may be searched on entry to the event. You consent to such searches and waive any related claims that may arise. If you elect not to consent to such searches, you may be denied entry to the event without refund or other compensation. Under certain facility rules, certain items may not be brought into the premises, including without limitation, alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, cameras, recording devices, laser pointers, strobe lights, irritants (e.g., artificial noisemakers), bundles and containers.
Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states and we cannot be responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws.
Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, unless formal written authorization is given by us.
Posting Tickets for Sale
If you use the Advanced Services to sell a ticket, you will be the ticket’s seller, not us or Circuit of The Americas. We and Circuit of The Americas are only providing certain services that will facilitate your sale. Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states and we cannot be responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws, rules and regulations when listing your tickets on any resale platform owned or controlled by us.
Before posting a ticket for sale via the Advanced Services, please consult the website through which you will be posting your ticket for sale, which detail the prices at which you may post tickets for sale via the Advanced Services, the amounts that will be deducted, retained or charged from or over the sale price, the amounts that will be credited or remitted to you, the method by which you will receive such credit or remission and other terms applicable to the posting, sale and funds collection, retention, deduction and payment or crediting processes. Once a ticket has been ordered by a potential purchaser, you will not be able to modify or cancel your posting of that ticket, or to stop that ticket’s sale, even though title to that ticket may not pass to the purchaser until a later time. We or Circuit of The Americas will collect funds from the purchaser, and Circuit of The Americas will transmit to you a credit or payment as described elsewhere in these Terms.
By posting a ticket using the Advanced Services, you authorize us and Circuit of The Americas, upon purchase of the ticket by another person through the Advanced Services, to cancel and invalidate your right to use or convey the ticket, and you acknowledge that the posted ticket will thereafter be invalid for entry to the applicable event by you or anyone other than the person who acquires that ticket via the Advanced Services (or any person lawfully receiving the ticket from such acquirer). Circuit of The Americas will be responsible for all payments and credits to you, you will solely hold Circuit of The Americas responsible for such payment or credit and neither we nor any other person or organization will be liable therefor.
Please note that not all members of the public may be able to purchase, or view listings for, tickets that you post for sale, as Circuit of The Americas may require potential purchasers to pay a fee, be a season ticket holder, be on the waiting list to be a season ticket holder or comply with a registration or other requirement, in order to view listings of, or to purchase, some or all of the tickets posted for sale. You will not be entitled to receive any part of any payment made in connection with having access to ticket listings or ticket purchase capabilities, or in connection with wait list or season ticket holder status.
You agree that you will not sell, convey, give away, forward, otherwise distribute, try to use or take any action that directly or indirectly allows to be cancelled or invalidated: (a) any ticket before or during any time that it is posted for sale via the Advanced Services, (b) any sold, forwarded or otherwise cancelled or invalidated tickets, or (c) any ticket that you have already sold, conveyed, forwarded or otherwise distributed to another.
If an event for which you sell a ticket via the Advanced Services is cancelled, then you will be obligated to return, within five days of notice by Circuit of The Americas, the difference between the amount of payments you collected in connection with such sale and the amount of money that Circuit of The Americas would have refunded to you had you still been the holder of (i.e., as if you had not yet sold) such ticket when the event was cancelled. In such a case, if you did not receive a payment from Circuit of The Americas but instead received a credit, then the credit will be reduced so that it instead equals the amount of money that Circuit of The Americas would have refunded to you had you still been the holder of such ticket when the event was cancelled. If an event for which you sell a ticket via the Advanced Services is postponed and the purchaser of such ticket is given a refund of the amount that that purchaser has paid, then you will be obligated to return, within five days of notice by Circuit of The Americas, all of the payments you collected in connection with such sale, but Circuit of The Americas will return the ticket to you that you sold so that you can then use it to attend the event. In such a case, if you did not receive a payment from Circuit of The Americas but instead received a credit, then the credit will be entirely reversed (so that you will no longer have a credit), but Circuit of The Americas will return the ticket to you that you sold so that you can then use it to attend the event. Any failure by you to pay any amounts owed under this paragraph within such five days will constitute a material breach of these Terms.
The following applies only to resale tickets to Illinois events: If you purchase resale tickets to an event located in Illinois, you will receive a refund of the amount you paid for that resale ticket if (a) the ticketed event is canceled (in which case you will not receive a refund of any delivery fees), (b) that ticket does not allow you to enter the ticketed event for reasons that may include, without limitation, that the ticket is counterfeit or that the ticket has been canceled by the issuer due to non-payment, unless the ticket is canceled due to an act or omission by you, (c) that ticket fails to conform to its listing description, or (d) you failed to receive that ticket.
The following applies only to resale tickets to New York events: If you purchase a resale ticket to an event located in New York, you will receive a refund of the amount you paid for that resale ticket if: (a) the ticketed event is canceled (in which case you will not receive a refund of any order processing and delivery fees); (b) that ticket does not allow you to enter the ticketed event, unless the ticket is canceled due to an act or omission by you; or (c) that ticket fails to conform to its listing description unless you have pre-approved a substitution of tickets.
Sold Tickets
Before we can pay you, we will need to collect your taxpayer information in accordance with applicable laws. Ticketmaster is generally required to file a Form 1099-K report with the IRS if the gross amount of your transactions on our marketplaces is $600 or more in a calendar year. Ticketmaster will generally provide you a copy of the Form 1099-K by January 31 of the following year. Many states may also require Ticketmaster to report when you have made at least $600 in transactions on our marketplaces, although some states may require reporting based on different thresholds. When required, Ticketmaster will generally provide you a copy of any state forms. For more information, please go to our FAQ page 1099-K Form: Answer to Some Common Questions.
Other Purchases and Services
You may be able to access Advanced Services to:
- purchase or renew season tickets
- register for season ticket waiting lists
- purchase rights of refusal for post season event tickets
- purchase additional suite seats
- purchase parking
- purchase ticket packages or single event tickets

If you elect to engage in any such transaction, then additional terms may apply. Please consult Circuit of The Americas for additional terms and requirements.
Group Tickets
Circuit of The Americas may allow a designated person (“Group Manager”) to distribute group tickets. If you are in the group ticket distribution, the Group Manager will send you an email to retrieve print-at-home tickets. You will be responsible for printing out and using your tickets. Either you or the Group Manager will be responsible for paying for the tickets, as applicable. If the Group Manager pays for a ticket, then the Group Manager may cancel ticket distribution at any time, even after you have already retrieved your ticket, in which case you will not be able to use it to attend the event. If you are responsible for paying for a ticket, then the Group Manager may only cancel ticket distribution before you pay for the ticket; once you pay for a ticket the Group Manager will not be able to cancel it. You will not be able to obtain a refund or exchange after a ticket has been purchased, unless required by law or otherwise permitted by Circuit of The Americas.
Season Ticket Forwarding
The Advanced Services may permit you to forward your season tickets to another person. You can send an email invitation with a link to transfer your tickets and if the recipient accepts your offer, the tickets will be placed into the recipient’s Ticketmaster account. Once the recipient accepts your offer, you will not be able to cancel the tickets.
Tickets forwarded using the Advanced Services are subject to the ticket authentication and delivery fees as disclosed to you by us or Circuit of The Americas. You may be required to provide your credit card number and other information in order to pay such fees, which will be processed or collected by us or Circuit of The Americas. Such fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
If Circuit of The Americas offers a program that allows you to forward your tickets to a charity, you should read the rules posted relating to such program on Circuit of The Americas website. You should not assume that you will receive a tax deduction for forwarding tickets to a charity or any documents that can be used to support a tax deduction.
Violation of these Terms
We may investigate any violation of these Terms, including unauthorized use of the Site. We may provide law enforcement with information you provide to us related to your transactions to assist in any investigation or prosecution of you. We may take legal action that we feel is appropriate. You agree that monetary damages may not provide us a sufficient remedy and that we may pursue injunctive or other relief for your violation of these Terms. If we determine that you have violated these Terms or the law, or for any other reason or for no reason, we may cancel your account and prevent you from accessing the Site at any time without notice to you. If that happens, you may no longer use the Site or any Content. You will still be bound by your obligations under these Terms.
You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access to the Site or to your account or any related information, and we will not be required to make the Site or your account or any related information available to you. If you violate these Terms, your transactions, distributions, deliveries, credit authorizations, payments, payment receipts, registrations, log-ins, ticket forwards, ticket postings, ticket sales, ticket purchases, ticket forwarding receptions, ticket orders, group management or participating or ticket management (any of the foregoing, or any other activities or transactions for which you use the Advanced Services, each an “Activity”), or season, package, group or other tickets, may be cancelled, set-offs and debits may be taken against your accounts and credits and payments that would otherwise be owed to you, and we may exercise any other remedy available to us.

Disputes, Including Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site, or to products or services sold or distributed by us or through us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, with the following exceptions:
- You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims apply;
- If a claim involves the conditional license granted to you as described in the Ownership of Content and Grant of Conditional License section above, either of us may file a lawsuit in a federal or state court located within Los Angeles County, California, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes; and
- In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located within Los Angeles County, California, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
The arbitration agreement in these Terms is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), including its procedural provisions, in all respects. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the class action waiver discussed below. State arbitration laws do not govern in any respect.
This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and will survive termination of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., 9348 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, Attn: Legal. You may download the forms located at https://www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if applicable, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and any applicable supplemental rules including its Consumer Arbitration Standards of Minimum Fairness. The JAMS Rules are available online at https://www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800) 352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, but in no event will we pay for attorneys’ fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You agree to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration section will be null and void and neither of us will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute.
You agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by and construed in accordance with federal law to the fullest extent possible. However, if your dispute is regarding the re-sale of a ticket for any event located in Illinois, then these Terms will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Illinois, without regard to conflict or choice of law rules, and you consent to personal jurisdiction, and agree to bring all actions, exclusively in Chicago, Illinois. If you have an inquiry regarding a ticket re-sale transaction for any event located in Illinois, please contact us at 550 W. Van Buren Street, 13th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60607 or (877) 446-9450 or ticketexchange@ticketmaster.com.

If you are considered a high-risk person as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you may be especially vulnerable to COVID-19. You should evaluate your own risk in determining whether to attend any public event including the event at COTA for which you are purchasing admission.
As a condition of admission to this event at COTA you will be required to abide by all current facility rules, posted instructions, and protocols while on premises or risk ejection, including, but not limited to the following, which may be periodically revised in accordance with public health guidance or requirements, or other guidance or requirements:
Guests are reminded to wash their hands frequently with soap and water.
In addition, to further protect the health and safety of our guests and employees, you will not be admitted to COTA and you should stay home if you have:
Within the last fourteen (14) days, tested positive or have been deemed presumptively positive with COVID-19, and not since recovered and tested negative; or

As set forth more fully in this Agreement, with respect to the Ticket Plan, this Agreement will automatically renew for subsequent years unless you opt-out or the program is terminated. The program may be terminated at any time at COTA’s discretion, including in the event that COTA is no longer the host of the F1 US Grand Prix.
- Ticket Plan Benefits. By enrolling in the Ticket Plan, you will be offered preferred pricing for the Tickets to attend the F1 US Grand Prix for subsequent years and the right to keep the same seat locations, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Prior to renewal, you will have the option to upgrade your seats or relocate your seats to another location. You can choose your preferred payment option, either pay-in-full option (“PIF”) or a 9-month plan that schedules a payment each month across a nine-month period (“Installment Plan”).
- Revocable License. The Ticket Plan is a revocable license issued by COTA to the individual or corporate entity name that appears on the account of record. Violation of these terms and conditions, violation of COTA Policies (defined below) and illegal or unauthorized reselling of the Tickets in violation of ticket policies of COTA or its vendor(s) shall entitle COTA to all available legal remedies, including but not limited to revocation or cancellation of your Ticket Plan and cancellation of the Tickets. COTA’s right to revoke described in this section is in addition to COTA’s right to terminate any Ticket or Ticket Plan as set forth herein. Use of any Tickets and attendance at any F1 US Grand Prix are also governed by (a) the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix Ticket Policy and the General Events Ticket Policy (collectively, the “Ticket Policies”) available at https://circuitoftheamericas.com/ticket-policy/, (b) COTA policies, including security, alcohol and appropriate conduct policies (the “COTA Policies”) available at https://circuitoftheamericas.com/venue-policies/ and as published on site, and (c) applicable laws, rules and regulations. If there is a conflict between any of the Terms of this Agreement and the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix Ticket Policy which can be found via the following hyperlink: https://circuitoftheamericas.com/ticket-policy/ with respect to the purchase of tickets for or attendance at the F1 US Grand Prix, the terms of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix Ticket Policy will prevail.
- Payment Authorization. You understand that by enrolling in the Ticket Plan, you authorize COTA to charge your credit or debit card (the “Card”) on file for payment of the Tickets. You further understand that if you choose the Installment Plan that any subsequent installment charges will be made to your Card in association with the payment schedule on the first (1st) day of each designated month until the Tickets are paid in full. You hereby warrant that you have the authority to authorize charges to the Card for the Tickets. You further agree that COTA is not liable in any way for erroneous billing statements or incorrect charges and that should such an error occur in billing, you will notify COTA so that COTA can use commercially reasonable means to correct the error, if any, and you authorize COTA, if necessary, to electronically credit the Card to correct erroneous debits. You may cancel this payment authorization at any time by contacting us within such time as to allow a reasonable amount of time to process and act on your request (typically three 3 business days). Canceling this payment authorization will not affect any obligation you may have under this Agreement. Each charge to the Card will be processed in U.S. Dollars and, if a charge is converted into another currency, its amount may vary based on fluctuations in the applicable conversion rate.
- Declined Payments. You acknowledge that if the Card on file for payment of the Tickets changes or must be replaced, you will promptly notify COTA, and this authorization will remain in effect for the new credit or debit card. COTA reserves the right to charge a processing fee in the event a charge is refused for any reason.
- Automatic Renewal of Ticket Plan. For all Ticket Plan payments, your payment authorization shall remain in effect for so long as the Ticket Plan remains in effect. Provided your account is in good standing, the Ticket Plan shall be automatically renewed annually in accordance with the payment plan you selected (i.e., PIF or Installment Plan), until such time as you choose to opt-out of the Ticket Plan or the Ticket Plan program is terminated. You understand that Circuit of the Americas LLC reserves the right, upon written notification, to modify Ticket fees, Ticket Plan and/or terms and conditions, including cancellation of the Ticket Plan program, for future years. Following this year’s F1 US Grand Prix, we will send an invoice to you either via first class mail or email to the address or email address that you have provided to us which will specify the dates and estimated amounts of the Ticket payments that are scheduled to come due under the upcoming year’s Ticket Plan. Upon such notification, you will have thirty (30) days to opt out of the Ticket Plan for subsequent year’s F1 US Grand Prix (the “Opt-Out Window”). Such notice will provide instructions for you to opt out of the Ticket Plan via an online or telephone method that will be available during the Opt-Out Window. If you do not opt out during the Opt-Out Window, you forfeit the right to cancel the Ticket Plan for the upcoming year, and you will be charged in accordance with the payment plan you previously selected. If you timely opt out of the Ticket Plan for future years, you shall have no obligation for any future scheduled payment beyond the current Ticket Plan year.
- All Sales Final. Payments must be timely made on or before the agreed upon payment dates. For those on an Installment Plan, in the event you fail to make any timely required payments, COTA reserves the right to either (a) withhold the Tickets until payment is made and the account is in good standing or (b) terminate the Tickets and the Ticket Plan, with any payments made prior to the termination date forfeited by you. Refunds may require submission of evidence and are only available in the event of deployment for active military duty, or in the event of the death of the account holder and a transfer is not requested.
- Seating Changes. COTA reserves the right to temporarily or permanently relocate or remove your seats for any reasonable purpose in COTA’s sole discretion, in which case COTA will make reasonable efforts to relocate your seats to comparable seats of similar or greater value.
- Force Majeure. COTA shall not be responsible for any hinderances or delays brought about by any Force Majeure Event. “Force Majeure Event” means any cause beyond the reasonable control of COTA, including, without limitation, extreme weather, hurricane, drought, flood, earthquake, storm, fire, lightning, epidemic (including COVID-19 and variations or mutations thereof and any related epidemics, residual effects, economic impact and results thereof), war, riot, civil disturbance, sabotage, explosions, acts of terror, strikes, lock-outs or labor disputes, the existence of hazardous waste, unforeseen subsurface conditions, orders of any governmental entity, the absence, suspension, termination, interruption, denial, or failure of renewal of, or the pendency of any litigation relating to, any entitlements, applicable permits or any changes in law.
