Devils Membership Terms And Conditions
These Terms and Conditions contain, among other terms, auto-renew provisions, disclaimers of liability, an exclusive remedy, a binding arbitration clause and a class action waiver. Please read them carefully.
As part of the consideration for the 2022-23 Season Ticket Membership or 2022-23 Flex Membership (as applicable) (the "Membership") being licensed hereunder to Member (as defined below) by New Jersey Devils LLC (such entity, together with the New Jersey Devils NHL club operated by such entity, the "Devils"), Member hereby agrees to (i) timely pay the charges listed in the payment form(s) or invoice(s) (whether in hard copy, electronic or other format) relating to Member's Membership subscription (the "Payment Form"; and the aggregate charges listed therein, the "Membership Fee"), (ii) comply with the other terms and conditions set forth in the Payment Form, and (iii) comply with the terms and conditions provided or referenced in this document or on DevilsMembership.com or a similar website linked therefrom) (all such terms and conditions, together with the Payment Form, this "Membership License"). Each ticket licensed under this Membership License is referred to herein as a "Ticket". Tickets and other benefits or privileges of Membership are referred to herein as "Membership Privileges".
- Member. The "Member" shall be the one natural person or legal business entity that is on record in the Devils' database as the registered holder of the Membership. If a Membership is registered in the name of a legal business entity, a contact person must be identified and the Devils shall have the right to rely on the actions of such contact person as the actions of Member. The Devils' acceptance of payment for Tickets or other Membership Privileges from any person or entity other than Member does not grant any rights to Tickets or other Membership Privileges, any account access or any future account or credit rights, nor constitute an assignment or transfer thereof, to such person or entity.
- Term. The term of this Membership License (the "Term") shall begin on the earlier of (x) the date Member signs and delivers the Payment Form and (y) the date Member makes full or partial payment of the Membership Fee and, subject to early termination as provided herein, shall end on the later of (a) the last regular season Devils home game of the 2022-23 NHL season, and (b) if the Devils participate in the 2022-23 NHL playoffs and Member has the right under this Membership License to, and does, purchase Tickets to Devils playoff home games for the 2022-23 NHL season (and such right is not revoked as described below), the Devils' last playoff home game of the 2022-23 NHL season.
- Membership Fee. As part of the consideration for the right to receive the Tickets and other Membership Privileges, Member shall timely pay the Membership Fee to the Devils as indicated on the Payment Form. All payments by Member under this Membership License shall be made without offset, deduction or counterclaim and are non-refundable except as expressly provided otherwise herein.
- Revocable License. Each Ticket represents a separate, limited and revocable license that only permits the bearer the right to attend the Devils home game identified on such Ticket and sit in the seat location identified on such Ticket. No property rights, and no renewal or expectancy rights, are conveyed under this Membership License, any Ticket, or any other item the Devils may deliver to Member under this Membership License. This Membership License and any or all of the Tickets and other Membership Privileges are revocable at any time by the Devils, in its sole and absolute discretion, with cause (including a breach of this Membership License) or without cause. Upon any revocation of the Membership License, the Devils may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) cancel, inactivate and revoke any Tickets for the remaining games of the 2022-23 NHL season (and deny the holder of such revoked Tickets admission for the games to which such revoked Tickets apply) and (ii) cancel, inactivate and revoke any other Membership Privileges, including any right Member may have under this Membership License to purchase tickets to Devils playoff home games for the 2022-23 NHL season. Upon a revocation of the Membership License in its entirety with cause, the Devils shall have the right to retain any previously paid portion of the Membership Fee, subject to Section 11. Upon a revocation of the Membership License in its entirety without cause, the Devils shall refund to Member any previously paid portion of the Membership Fee attributable to Tickets for regular season Devils' home games in the 2022-23 NHL season to be played following revocation. If the Devils revokes any Tickets with respect to any particular game with cause but do not revoke the Membership License in its entirety, no refund will be paid to Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of any Lost Game(s) (as defined below) pursuant to Section 7 of this Membership License, and actions taken by the Devils as a result, shall not be deemed a revocation of the Membership License in its entirety, with or without cause.
- No Renewal Right; Auto-Renew; Playoff Opt-Out; Forfeiture of Flex Membership Fees.
- This Membership License covers only 2022-23 NHL preseason and regular season Devils home games. Member acknowledges and agrees that Member neither has a reasonable expectation, nor any right or privilege, implied or otherwise, to (i) purchase or receive playoff tickets for the 2022-23 NHL season (except for the rights expressly granted as part of this Membership License and displayed on DevilsMembership.com, which rights remain subject to Devils' rights under Sections 4, 6 and 11) or any subsequent NHL season(s), (ii) purchase or receive tickets or other Membership Privileges for any subsequent NHL season(s) or (iii) renew this Membership License for any subsequent NHL season(s). Member further acknowledges and agrees that if the Devils (in its sole and absolute discretion) offers Member the opportunity to renew this Membership License for any subsequent season(s), neither such offer nor any acceptance by Member shall create a course of dealing between Member and the Devils or a reasonable expectation, right or privilege, implied or otherwise, to any further renewal.
- If the Devils (in its sole and absolute discretion) offers Member (and does not revoke) the opportunity to renew this Membership License for the 2023-24 NHL season, this Membership License will automatically renew for the 2023-24 NHL season as follows: If Member receives notice from the Devils (an "Auto-Renew Notice") setting forth or otherwise directing Member (including via hyperlink) to the price(s) and seat location(s), as well as certain terms and conditions, of Member's Membership License for the 2023-24 NHL season, Member must notify the Devils, in the manner prescribed by the Devils in the Auto-Renew Notice and, unless indicated otherwise in the Auto-Renew Notice, within two (2) weeks following receipt of such notice (the "Response Deadline"), that Member wishes not to renew Member's Membership License for the 2023-24 NHL season. If Member does not provide such notice to the Devils by the Response Deadline, Member shall be deemed to have accepted Member's Membership License for the 2023-24 NHL season upon the terms and conditions set forth in or otherwise directed (including via hyperlink) by the Auto-Renew Notice (which terms and conditions may be available on DevilsMembership.com or a similar website linked therefrom), and Member's credit card will be charged a non-refundable amount in the amount and on the date(s) set forth in the Auto-Renew Notice, and will thereafter continue to be charged by the Devils consistent with the payment option selected on the Payment Form for the 2023-24 Membership License (or deemed selected pursuant to a previous season's payment terms). For illustration purposes only, if Member receives the Auto-Renew Notice on January 29, 2023, Member must provide notice to the Devils by February 12, 2023 that Member wishes not to renew, or Member's credit card will be charged on or about February 14, 2023.
- If the Devils (in its sole and absolute discretion) offers Member (and does not revoke) the opportunity to purchase tickets to Devils playoff home games for the 2022-23 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs ("Playoff Tickets"), Member will automatically purchase Playoff Tickets as follows: If Member receives notice from the Devils (which notice may be included in the Auto-Renew Notice referenced above) ("Playoff Notice") setting forth or otherwise directing Member (including via hyperlink) to the price(s), seat location(s), as well as certain terms and conditions, of Member's purchase of Playoff Tickets, Member must notify the Devils, in the manner prescribed by the Devils in the Playoff Notice and, unless indicated otherwise in the Playoff Notice, within two (2) weeks following receipt of such notice (the "Playoff Response Deadline"), that Member wishes not to purchase Playoff Tickets. If Member does not provide such notice by the Playoff Response Deadline, Member shall be deemed to have agreed to purchase Member's Playoff Tickets upon the terms and conditions set forth in or other directed (including via hyperlink) by the Playoff Notice, and Member's credit card will be charged a non-refundable amount in the amount and on the date(s) set forth in the Playoff Notice.
- For Flex Memberships, if for any reason any portion of the Membership Fee paid or owed to the Devils is not applied to the purchase of tickets to 2022-23 NHL preseason and regular season Devils home games by the conclusion of the 2022-23 NHL regular season, Member shall not be entitled to any refund or carryover of or credit with respect to all or any portion of such Membership Fee and Devils shall have the right to retain any unused amounts, in each case, unless Devils agrees otherwise in writing.
- If the Devils (in its sole and absolute discretion) offers Member (and does not revoke) the opportunity to participate in a ticket swap program, such program will be subject to separate terms and conditions determined by the Devils, including limitations on quantity, game availability and timing of all ticket swaps. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Devils offer a ticket swap program, any tickets swapped pursuant to such program must be redeemed within that same NHL season unless expressly indicated otherwise in writing by Devils. For example, if the Devils offer Members a ticket swap program in respect of the 2022-23 NHL season, and a Member wishes to swap two (2) tickets from a game in the 2022-23 NHL season, such Member may only redeem the swap (e.g., obtain the same number of tickets to another game) during the same 2022-23 NHL season (and not for tickets during the 2023-24 or any subsequent NHL seasons).
- Limits on Transferability. Member shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer for consideration (i) this Membership License, (ii) any Membership Privileges (other than Tickets), or (iii) Tickets with respect to ten (10) or more games, in each case, without the Devils' express written consent. Any permitted sale, assignment or transfer of Tickets must be in compliance with applicable law (including but not limited to any licensing requirements or resale limitations contained within the Ticket Resellers Law found at N.J.S.A. 56:8-26 et seq.). Upon any violation of this Section 6, the Devils shall have the right to revoke this Membership License, the Tickets and the other Membership Privileges with cause under Section 4. Without limiting the foregoing, any sale, assignment, or transfer of Tickets to any person who fails to satisfy any Safety Requirement (including, without limitation, any pre-game requirements established by the Devils or Arena Operator) may be voided by Devils and such Tickets cancelled without any refund or credit to the transferor or transferee.
- Non-Occurrence of Events; Other Events; Neutral Site Events. Nothing herein, including the Devils' issuance of Tickets, shall constitute any warranty, representation, covenant or guarantee by the Devils that any number of games (including playoff games) will occur at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey (the "Arena") or at any other location. Member acknowledges and agrees that the revocable rights to Tickets are solely for 2022-23 NHL preseason and regular season games (and, if expressly provided in this Membership License, the right to purchase tickets for playoff games) presented by the Devils and played at the Arena, and for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include tickets, or the right to purchase tickets, to any other event or game (including, without limitation, any event or game that is held in the Devils' market or hosted by the NHL at the Arena or in which the Devils participates that is held at a location other than the Arena (e.g., any neutral site game, NHL European Global Series Games, NHL China Games, NHL Winter Classic, NHL Heritage Classic, NHL Stadium Series, NHL All Star or NHL Draft event) (each, a "League Special Game")). Member acknowledges and agrees that the Devils and/or NHL may cancel, postpone, reschedule or relocate games for any reason (e.g., move a regular season game of the Devils from the Arena to an alternate venue for the purposes of playing a League Special Game or addressing a force majeure event or occupancy condition), as determined in its/their sole discretion, as well as to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any aspect of the rules, operations and presentations of NHL games and events.

If Devils exercises such right, Devils agrees to use its reasonable efforts to provide a reasonably comparable location as Member's sole and exclusive remedy.

Member acknowledges and agrees that the Releasees shall not be responsible for any injury, loss or damage (including for lost or stolen property).
- Member shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all Releasees from and against any liabilities, losses, damages, claims, demands, choses in action, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees (including in any action between Member and the Devils or any other Releasee, or any action by a third party), costs of investigation (whether or not litigation occurs) and litigation expenses, arising out of or related to any act or omission, breach of any provision of this Membership License, or violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, in each case, by Member, any of Member's guests or any holder of Member's Tickets.

- This Membership License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in New Jersey and without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. SEE SECTION 19 BELOW FOR IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 15(h).
- This Membership License and the terms printed on each individual game Ticket constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to Member's Membership and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, understandings or agreements (whether in advertising or marketing materials or otherwise) with respect to the subject matter hereof.
- None of the provisions of this Membership License benefiting Devils can be waived except in a writing signed by the Devils. No failure by the Devils to exercise any right under this Membership License shall operate as a waiver of such right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other rights. The waiver by the Devils of any breach of this Membership License shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach. All remedies of the Devils shall be cumulative and the pursuit of one remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of any other remedy.
- Time shall be of the essence with respect to Member's obligations under this Membership License.
- Member represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and legal authority to enter into and perform this Membership License in accordance with its terms and (ii) this Membership License has been duly executed and delivered by Member and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Member enforceable in accordance with its terms.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION; INFORMAL RESOLUTION AND FORMAL RESOLUTION BY ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Member and the Devils agree that all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or related to this Membership License (referred to as a "Claim") will be resolved as follows:
- INFORMAL RESOLUTION: Member and the Devils will first attempt to resolve any Claim informally after notice has been provided in accordance with Section 15(g) above.
- FORMAL RESOLUTION BY ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER: MEMBER SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION PROVISION AS IT LIMITS MEMBER'S RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION. Member and the Devils agree that any dispute, controversy or other Claim arising out of or relating to this Membership License, or the determination of the scope or applicability of Arbitration, shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act.
If Member and the Devils cannot resolve a Claim informally within 30 days of written notice by one party to the other of such Claim, any Claim asserted by either party will be resolved only by binding Arbitration. By agreeing to Arbitration, both Member and the Devils understand and agree that all disputes shall be decided by an arbitrator and that each party is waiving its rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. Instead of suing in court, both Member and the Devils each agree to settle disputes only by Arbitration. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The rules in Arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must honor the same limitations stated in this Membership License as a court would. The Devils and Member understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, the Devils and Member would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The Devils and Member further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
The Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Membership License, and administered by the AAA. If Member and Devils cannot agree on who that single arbitrator should be, then the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator with significant experience resolving the type of Claim at issue. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this Membership License, the rules set forth in this Membership License will govern. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
Each of Member and Devils may, in Arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to such party pursuant to the law of the governing state. If Member decides to initiate Arbitration, the Devils shall bear the cost of any Arbitration filing fees and Arbitration fees for claims seeking less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds the Arbitration Claim to be frivolous. Member is responsible for all other additional costs that Member may incur in connection with the Arbitration including, but not limited to attorneys' fees and expert witness costs unless the Devils are otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims seeking more than $10,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and Arbitration fees. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing. The Devils and Member agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation, motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the Arbitration. The arbitrator must follow this Membership License and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorneys' fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Devils and Member agree not to seek any attorneys' fees and expert witness costs unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted for an improper purpose.
If Member claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, Member may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules.
The Arbitration will be held at a location in Essex County, New Jersey, unless Member and the Devils both agree to another location or telephonic Arbitration. To initiate Arbitration, Member or the Devils must do the following things:
- Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered and a copy of this agreement to arbitrate. A copy of a Demand for Arbitration can be found at www.adr.org.
Submit a Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee to the AAA by mail, facsimile, email, or on-line:
To file by mail send the initial filing documents and the filing fee to: AAA Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043. To file via fax send the initial filing documents and a completed charge card authorization form for the filing fee to 877-304-8457. To file by email send the filing documents and a check or a completed charge card authorization form for the filing fee to [email protected]. Charge card authorization forms are available at www.adr.org/Services/Forms. To file on-line via AAA WebFile, visit www.adr.org and click on File & Manage a Case and follow directions to register.
- Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party.
Special Rules in the Arbitration Proceeding. (i) The arbitrator has no authority to make errors of law and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. Otherwise, the arbitrator's decision is final and binding on all parties and may be enforced in any Federal or State court that has jurisdiction. (ii) Neither Member nor the Devils shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in Arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or arbitrate any claim as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. THIS MEANS THAT MEMBER WAIVES MEMBER'S RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION WHATSOEVER. Accordingly, Member and the Devils agree that the AAA Rules for Class Arbitrations do not apply to any Arbitration. A court may sever any portion of this dispute resolution provision if it finds such unenforceable.
Notwithstanding the obligation to arbitrate all Claims under this Membership License, Member may choose to pursue Member's individual claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over the Devils and Member otherwise qualifies for such small claims court and where Member's claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY - IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Without limiting Section 16, Member and Devils agree that any Claims will be resolved on an individual basis, and that any Claim will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Member and the Devils further agree that neither will participate as a plaintiff in any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought in connection with 2022-23 Season Ticket Memberships or 2022-23 Flex Memberships (as applicable). If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the Claim will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court in Essex County, New Jersey. The terms of this section will also apply to any valid Claims asserted by Member against any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Devils to the extent such Claims arise out of this Membership License and/or 2022-23 Season Ticket Memberships or 2022-23 Flex Memberships (as applicable).
SEE SECTION 19 BELOW FOR IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 17.
LIMITED TIME TO FILE CLAIMS. Member agrees that Member will assert any Claim arising out of this Membership License within one (1) year after the Claim arises, or such Claim will be barred.
SEE SECTION 19 BELOW FOR IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 18.
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS; CONSUMER PROTECTION NOTICE. If Member is a consumer, the provisions in this Membership License are intended to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of Member's State of residence.
If Member is a New Jersey resident or otherwise has rights under New Jersey's consumer protection laws, the terms of Sections 12, 14, 15(h), 17 and 18 do not limit or waive Member's rights under New Jersey law and the provisions in this Membership License are intended to be only as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey. In any event, the Devils reserve all rights, defenses and permissible limitations under the laws of New Jersey and under the laws of Member's State of residence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall modify Subsection 16(B).
