A. Selling a Ticket.

1. Non-Authorized Ticket Holders. Non-authorized Ticket account holders are not authorized to sell any Tickets on the StubHub Marketplace through Rays Ticket Account, even if such Ticket[s] were previously bought through the StubHub Marketplace.
2. Seller and Buyer. You agree that when you use Rays Ticket Account to access the StubHub Marketplace in order to sell any Ticket, each of those transactions is between you and other Rays Ticket Account or StubHub users, as applicable, and that none of the Rays, Tickets.com or MLBAM are parties to any such transaction.

3. Title to Sold Tickets. After you have posted a Ticket on the StubHub Marketplace from your Rays Ticket Account account and a buyer has elected to purchase that Ticket, title to the Ticket will automatically be transferred to the buyer. None of the Rays, Tickets.com or MLBAM will ever take title to a Ticket during the course of a Ticket sale. A Ticket sale is complete when a buyer agrees to buy a Ticket that has been sent from the seller's Rays Ticket Account account to a buyer on the StubHub Marketplace. When a seller posts a Ticket for sale on the StubHub Marketplace, the seller is authorizing the Rays and Tickets.com to invalidate the barcode imprinted on that Ticket and to issue a new Ticket to the buyer with a replacement barcode upon completion of the sale. The sales price of the Ticket and any other applicable fees and charges will be charged to the buyer's credit card upon completion of the sale. All Ticket sales are final and not revocable by the seller or the buyer.
4. Seller's Risk of Loss. No assurances can be made that a buyer will complete a Ticket purchase. A seller bears all risk of loss if, for any reason, a buyer fails to make payment for any Ticket purchase.
5. Timing of Payment. Upon completion of a sale on the StubHub Marketplace, a seller will receive a payment from StubHub in accordance with the terms of the StubHub User Agreement. Please refer to the StubHub Seller Q&A for more detail on timing of payments.
6. No Use of Sold Tickets. After a Ticket is sold on the StubHub Marketplace and deactivated that Ticket will no longer be valid for any purpose, including admission to the game designated on that Ticket. A seller will receive one warning if any attempt is made to use such seller's Ticket after such Ticket has been deactivated. Any subsequent attempt to use any deactivated Ticket following such warning may result in the seller's permanent loss of eligibility to use My Rays Ticket Account and the revocation of the seller's season Ticket account. None of the Rays, Tickets.com, MLBAM or StubHub will be liable for any damage, loss or claim relating to anyone's use or attempted use of any deactivated Ticket.
7. Cancelled Games. After a seller has sold a Ticket to a game, if that game is cancelled, StubHub will issue a refund to a buyer in accordance with the terms of the StubHub User Agreement. Please refer to the StubHub Buyer Q&A for more detail on refund policies.

B. Buying a Ticket.

1. Ticket Seller. None of the Rays, Tickets.com or MLBAM is the seller of any Ticket that you purchase through the StubHub Marketplace. The sole purpose of Tickets.com, the Rays and MLBAM is to provide the technology to facilitate the sale of a Ticket to you through the StubHub Marketplace.
2. Service and Other Charges. Any and all fees assessed to a Ticket purchase above the listed Ticket price on the StubHub Marketplace are at the discretion of StubHub and subject to change without notice. None of the Rays, Tickets.com or MLBAM is acting as an agent for either the buyer or seller.
3. Obligation to Complete Purchase. You agree that time is of the essence with respect to all Ticket purchases. All title, rights and obligations with respect to any Ticket will pass from the seller to you upon completion of a Ticket purchase. Any failure by you to pay for Ticket[s] purchased through the StubHub Marketplace may result in your permanent disqualification from further use of the StubHub Marketplace, the StubHub Website, or any of the other Services offered through Rays Ticket Account, at the Rays discretion.

5. Rescheduled Games. If a game is rescheduled after you purchase a Ticket for that game, the Ticket that you purchased will remain valid and use of such Ticket will be subject to those policies applicable to Rays Ticket holders generally, as the Rays may amend such policies from time to time. You are not entitled to a refund or to otherwise retract your purchase of Ticket because the game was rescheduled and it is your responsibility to verify any changes to the information printed on the Ticket, including the date and time of the game.

5. Specific Terms Governing Use of Forward. If you forward a Ticket through Forward, you agree to be bound to the following terms. If you are a qualified Rays Ticket Account account holder of record and are forwarding a Ticket, you are referred to below as the “Sender”. If you are receiving a forwarded Ticket, you are referred to below as the “Recipient”.

Forwarding Tickets. If you are a Sender, you may forward one or more of your Tickets to a home game to any person, provided that the Recipient has a valid email address. You authorize the Rays and Tickets.com to cancel and deactivate each Ticket that you forward and to reissue a valid Ticket to the Recipient.

Receiving Forwarded Tickets. If you are a Recipient, a new Ticket with a replacement barcode will be issued to you for any tickets forwarded to you. A Ticket that has been forwarded to you is only valid for the game imprinted on that Ticket (or the alternative game, solely in the event of a rescheduled game), and is only for your own personal use. Once a ticket has been forwarded, it cannot be forwarded again until it has been printed.

Use of Original Ticket After Forward. The Sender will receive one warning if any attempt is made to use such Sender's Ticket after such Ticket has been deactivated. Any subsequent attempts to use any deactivated Ticket following such warning may result in the permanent disqualification of the Sender from use of the Services and revocation of the Sender's season Ticket. None of the Rays, Tickets.com or MLBAM will be liable for any damage, loss or claim relating to the use, or attempted use of any deactivated Ticket.

Rescheduled Games. In the event a game is postponed or rescheduled, any Recipient will be subject to those policies applicable to Rays Ticket holders generally, as the Rays may amend such policies from time to time. It is the Recipient's responsibility to verify any changes to the information printed on the Ticket, including the date and time of the game.

Cancelled Games. Ticket forwards for games that are cancelled will be reversed. Any Ticket that was forwarded to a Recipient for any cancelled game will be deactivated and will no longer be valid, and such Recipient will have no further rights in connection with that Ticket. Any forwarded Ticket for any cancelled game will be subject to those policies applicable to season Ticket holders generally, as such policies may be amended by the Rays from time to time. You understand that Rays games may be cancelled from time to time and that none of the Rays, Tickets.com or MLBAM is responsible for any loss or damage in connection with such cancelled games.

6. Termination of Participation. The Rays may, in their sole discretion, and at any time, terminate, suspend or restrict your use of the Services immediately and without notice, with or without cause, including without limitation, if the Rays determine that (A) you have violated the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable terms, conditions or restrictions, (B) you have violated, or attempted to violate, the rights of other Rays Ticket Account participants, (C) you have violated any policy, rule, regulation or direction of the Rays relating to either the Rays and/or Tropicana Field, as each may be amended from time to time by the Rays in their sole discretion, or (D) you have violated, or attempted to violate, any applicable law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or order, including without limitation, any such law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation or order regarding fraudulent activity.
