(the "Club"). The Loyalty Program allows eligible participants to earn points ("Points") that can be redeemed for offered rewards (each offering, a "Reward" and collectively "Rewards"). Participation in the Loyalty Program is subject to these terms and conditions, rules, regulations, policies, procedures (collectively, the "Terms and Conditions") and decisions that the Club, in its sole discretion, adopt and amend from time to time.
SECTION 19 OF THIS AGREEMENT IS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE THAT REQUIRES MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF IN COURT. SEE SECTION 19 FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE, AND HOW TO OPT OUT.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. By participating, you accept and agree to follow the Terms and Conditions governing the Loyalty Program, including any changes the Club makes to these Terms and Conditions or the Loyalty Program. The above date indicates the date of the most recent change in the Terms and Conditions. Any activity to earn or use Points will be considered acceptance and consent to the terms and conditions of the Loyalty Program.
1. Binding Acceptance. THIS IS A BINDING AGREEMENT. By registering on the Loyalty Program's website, and/or by otherwise participating in earning Points or using Points, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions as presently in effect and as modified and interpreted by the Club from time to time. The Club has the right, in its sole discretion, to change, limit, modify or cancel the Loyalty Program and offerings at any time, with or without notice, even though such changes may affect the value of Points already accumulated, the value of Rewards and/or the time period and ability to accrue or use Points.
2. Eligible Account Holders. Any fan that is a resident of the United States and over the age of 18 is encouraged to create an account at www.chiefskingdomrewards.com or through the Chiefs Kingdom Rewards mobile application (collectively, the "Site") and become an "Account Holder," but the Club reserves the right and discretion to terminate or suspend the enrollment of any Account Holder at any time due to failure to comply with the Terms and Conditions, failure to comply with any instructions of the Club (whether related to online or offline behavior, including behavior at the stadium, or otherwise), non-payment, late payment, or other reasons as determined appropriate by the Club. If you are under the age of 18, you represent and warrant that either your parent or your legal guardian has read and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. If you are under 18 you must be over the age of 13 and you may only use the Loyalty Program if you have received permission from and are under the supervision of a parent or guardian. For purposes of the Loyalty Program, an Account Holder means the holder of the account as indicated in the Club' account records. The term "Account Holder" includes any and all individuals given access to the Account Holder's password required to access and use the Site or participate in the Loyalty Program. Employees of the Chiefs who are Account Holders are not eligible to participate in the Loyalty Program.
3. Site Access and Credentials. An Account Holder may access the Loyalty Program and engage in Point earning, redemption, and other Loyalty Program transactions by logging into the Site using the Account Holder's password and clicking on “Chiefs Kingdom Rewards.” As indicated in 2 above, in the case of an account with more than one holder, the Primary Account Holder may give the account password to the Secondary Account Holder(s). In addition, the Primary Account Holder and/or any Secondary Account Holder may give password access to others age 18 or older to act as agents of the Account Holder. When logging in for the first time and/or from time to time thereafter, an Account Holder may be asked to verify personal information or accept the Terms and Conditions. The Club is in no event liable for verification, protection or security of the passwords or for any third party's unauthorized use of misappropriation of an Account Holder's Rewards or Points. Each Account Holder is responsible for the security of its/his or her password and ensuring the accuracy of its/his or her Loyalty Program account, and is encouraged to check it regularly.
4. Point Accrual, Use and Expiration.
Points may be accrued for following, promoting, engaging, or otherwise interacting with the Club, other Account Holders, fans, or the public in accordance with the information posted on the Site or as otherwise determined by the Club from time to time. Points may be redeemed for Rewards as described in Section 5 below at any time, provided the Reward is available and the Account Holder has sufficient Points in their account for the requested Reward redemption. Unless the Club, in its sole discretion, elects to modify the Loyalty Program to extend or otherwise modify the redemption period, the Club may at any time and without notice, among other things: (a) increase or decrease the number of Points able to be accrued for Rewards and other Point earning activities, or increase or decrease the number of Points required to redeem a specific Reward; (b) withdraw, limit, modify or cancel any Point earning opportunity or any Reward; (c) limit the number and type of Rewards made available (including limitations on eligibility for specific Account Holders or types of Account Holders); (d) change the Point levels; and (e) otherwise change Loyalty Program benefits, conditions of participation, rules for earning, redeeming, retaining or forfeiting Points, rules governing the use of specific Rewards or other rules governing the Loyalty Program. Please check the Site frequently for updates to the Terms and Conditions, Point earning opportunities and Rewards. Each Account Holder is responsible for the payment of all taxes that may result from receipt of a Reward under this Program. Point balances may take up to three (3) business days to be reflected in an Account Holder's Loyalty Program account. If additional time is needed for any reason, the Club reserves the right in its sole discretion to delay Points accrual or award Points later. If an Account Holder believes that Points were not properly accrued to their account, the Account Holder must notify the Club by sending an e-mail to fanexperience@chiefs.com. The e-mail must specify the date the Points were earned, the activity, and the number of Points. This e-mail must be sent no later than (15) calendar days after the date on which the Points were earned to be considered eligible for review. The Club is not responsible for late notifications about any Points which are not properly credited to an Account Holder, and may not award the Points to the Account Holder in such event regardless of the alleged reason for the failure of the Points to credit. The Club reserves the right to investigate any claim of Points not being credited to an Account Holder, and take whatever action it deems appropriate to ensure the fairness and proper administration of the Loyalty Program.
5. Redemption Conditions and Options. Certain Rewards may be available only to Account Holders who have met specific qualifying criteria (such as being a Club season ticket member, performing certain qualifying activity within the Loyalty Program, or any other criteria determined by the Club in its sole discretion). All Point redemptions are final. If you win or redeem a Reward, the Club will notify you by in-person communication, phone, and/or email and you will be required to respond to the notification within forty-eight (48) hours indicating whether you can accept the Reward. If no response is received within the time allotted, you may forfeit the Reward and the Club may select an alternate Account Holder at the Club’s discretion. Any alternate Account Holder selected will also be required to respond to the notification within forty-eight (48) hours. To receive certain Rewards, the Club may require you to sign an affidavit, release of liability, publicity release, or other documents (a “Release”). You must execute and return the Release in person, by email to rewards@kcchiefs.com, or by regular mail within seven (7) days of accepting the Reward to: Kansas City Chiefs Fan Experience Department, The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex, One Arrowhead Drive, Kansas City, Missouri 64129. To accept a Reward, the Club may require you to prove your identity, including proof of address. Examples of identification documents include, but are not limited to, passport, driver’s license, or current utility bill. Reward fulfillment may be by mail to the United States address of the Account Holder or by pick-up at the Club's offices, as determined by the Club in its sole discretion. If the Club arranges for a carrier to deliver the Reward by mail, then title and risk of loss passes to Account Holder (or carrier) upon the Club’s tender of the Reward to the carrier (free on board shipping point). In no event shall the Club ship a Reward outside the fifty (50) United States of America. Where the Club designates the Reward for pick-up, you will have thirty (30) days to claim the Reward following verification of your eligibility to accept the Reward. Failure to comply with the above Reward claim requirements, or these Terms and Conditions for any reason, or the return of any Reward notification or Reward as undeliverable, or the determination that an Account Holder is ineligible to receive the Reward, may result in forfeiture of the Reward and selection of an alternate Account Holder in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The Club is not responsible for any entrant’s change of email address, mailing address, telephone number, and/or other contact information.
Subject to additional terms and conditions provided by the Club, Account Holders may use Points to redeem Rewards in three primary ways:
(a) Redeem Now Rewards. The Club may offer merchandise, discounts, offers and other of items of value listed on the Site for redemption using Points ("Reward Items") and shall designate the number of Points required to acquire each such Reward Item. All Reward items are available only while supplies last and are subject to any and all other limitations detailed on the Site. Once the Account Holder has earned enough Points to acquire a desired Reward Item, an Account Holder may click on the Redeem Now or equivalent button on the Site. The Account Holder's Points shall be reduced by the number required for the selected Reward Item and the Club shall provide or arrange for fulfillment of the selected Reward Item.
(b) Sweepstakes Rewards. The Club may offer Account Holders the opportunity to redeem Points in exchange for one (1) entry into certain sweepstakes that the Club may offer from time to time (each a "Sweepstakes Reward") where the Club will draw one (1) entry from all eligible entries received during the sweepstakes period as the potential winner of each such Sweepstakes Reward. You are not eligible to participate in a Sweepstakes Reward if you are a resident of the States of New York, Florida or Rhode Island. Entries submitted in geographic areas in which the entry is not permissible will be disqualified. Each Account Holder shall be limited to one entry in any specific Sweepstakes Reward unless otherwise set forth in the terms of the applicable Sweepstakes Reward. The odds of winning any specific Sweepstakes Reward will vary based on the number of entries received for such Sweepstakes Reward. Owners, officers, directors and employees of the Club and their immediate family members are not eligible to enter any Sweepstakes Reward. No purchase is necessary to become a member of the Loyalty Program and enter any Sweepstakes Reward.
(c) Auctions Rewards. The Club will offer items for auction open to bidding by an Account Holder using Points in bidding ("Auction Items"). The Club may establish additional terms and conditions unique to each auction (such as auction procedures, required minimum bids or bid increments, qualifying and eligibility criteria, etc.), which additional terms will be included on the auction details page for each auction. The Club reserves the right to rescind or reject any and all bids. Bids cannot be retracted by an Account Holder once made. If an Account Holder's bid is selected as the winning bid, the Account Holder's Points shall be reduced by the number bid for the Auction Item under the winning bid and the Club shall provide or arrange for fulfillment. Account Holders are limited to winning three (3) auction items per 12 month period.
ALL REWARDS ARE REDEEMED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. THE CLUB HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO WIN OR REDEEM ANY REWARD UNTIL YOUR ELIGIBILITY HAS BEEN VERIFIED, AND IT IS DETERMINED THAT YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
6. Ticket Rewards. When using a Reward that constitutes a ticket to an event, the tickets shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as those generally applicable to other ticket holders including, without limitation, all retained rights of revocation, cancellation, non-renewal and ejection. Without limiting the meaning of the preceding sentence, the Club reserves, on behalf of itself and applicable third party event promoters, the right to exclude or eject, without liability, any and all unruly, rowdy or disruptive persons attending the event using the Account Holder's tickets and the Account Holder shall be fully responsible for any damages or expenses, direct or indirect, incurred by the Club and its affiliates as a result of such disruptive behavior and/or ejection. In no event may any Account Holder sell or use any of the furnished tickets in connection with any media promotion (including, but not limited to, newspaper, magazine, Internet, television or radio) without the Club's prior written consent.

8. Non-Transferability of Points and Rewards. Points and Experiential Rewards (defined below) may not be sold by any means, electronic or otherwise, and it is a violation of the Loyalty Program for anyone to purchase Points or Experiential Rewards from third parties, combine Points obtained by others, or transfer or sell Points or Experiential Rewards. Any attempt to buy, sell, consolidate or transfer Points or Experiential Rewards in violation of the above prohibition shall be deemed void and may result in disqualification from the Loyalty Program and/or forfeiture of all accrued Points. In furtherance of the foregoing, any attempted sale, alienation, or other transfer of an Experiential Reward using any third party medium or platform (including, for example, any online retailer or marketplace) is strictly forbidden. The Club reserves the unconditional right to reject access to any individual who attempts to exercise or redeem an Experiential Reward procured (for value or otherwise) through any secondary market or through any third party, with such individual (and the original Experiential Reward recipient) immediately and unequivocally forfeiting any right in and to the Experiential Reward, as well as all Points that may have been used to procure such Experiential Reward. The Club reserves all other rights and remedies against any such individual(s) as it may determine to use in its sole and absolute discretion. As used herein, “Experiential Rewards” are Rewards that involve a service, experience, event, limited or exclusive access, location-based privileges, event participation, visits, reservations, or other experiences that are neither quantifiable monetarily, nor generally available to the public. Examples of such Experiential Rewards include, but are not limited to: pregame sideline passes; any VIP access to an event; game-day activations such as on field flag holding, halftime ceremony participation, and post-game field visits’ reservations to table seating on the Club Level (not general audience stadium seating); and any tickets to an event won through the Loyalty Program.

In addition, the Club shall have the right to take appropriate administrative and/or legal action, including criminal prosecution, as it deems necessary in its sole discretion.

19. Dispute Resolution (Arbitration). Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section ("Arbitration Agreement") carefully. It requires you to arbitrate most disputes with the Club and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute between you and us relating in any way to the Site, our advertising or marketing practices, any Products sold or distributed through the Site, or this Agreement, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or the Club may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement. IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH THE CLUB, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE CLUB ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING COVERED CLAIMS AGAINST THE CLUB ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
(b) Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to One Arrowhead Drive, Kansas City, MO 64129 ATTN: Loyalty Program Arbitration Claim. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with their Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay AAA's filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and you cannot obtain a waiver from AAA, the Club will pay them for you. In addition, the Club will reimburse all such AAA filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims with an amount in controversy totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. 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. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Club. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and this Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE CLUB HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PERMITTED HEREIN) AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and the Club are instead electing that all covered claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 19(a) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE FOR CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that this Section 19(e) is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor we shall be entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute and instead the applicable claim or dispute shall be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 20(e).
(f) 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: One Arrowhead Drive, Kansas City, MO 64129 ATTN: Loyalty Program or email to customerrelations@kcchiefs.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with us, or may enter into in the future with us.
(g) Severability. Subject to Section 19(e), if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(h) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement or your relationship with the Club.
(i) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if the Club makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) of which you had already provided notice to the Club.

In particular, but without limitation, the Site may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List.
