Please note that while some of the events listed on the Site may appeal to children, the Site is not targeted at children under the age of 13, and they are not permitted to use the Site.

NOTICE REGARDING FUTURE CHANGES TO TERMS:

To the extent that these Terms differ from a prior version of the Terms which you previously agreed to, this version of the Terms supersedes and governs.

NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

Specifically, you and we agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to the Terms, your use of the Site, or products or services sold, distributed, issued, or serviced by us or through us, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court. By agreeing to individual arbitration, you and we each waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. This agreement and waiver—along with some limited exceptions—is explained in Section 1, below.

  1. Mandatory Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE TERMS, YOUR USE OF THE SITE, OR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ISSUED, OR SERVICED BY OR THROUGH US—IRRESPECTIVE OF WHEN THAT DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY AROSE—WILL BE RESOLVED SOLELY BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AS SET FORTH IN THE TERMS, RATHER THAN IN COURT. YOU AND WE THEREBY EACH AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND AGREE THAT YOU AND WE MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. WE AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY PROCEEDINGS CONFORMING TO THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. THE ARBITRATOR WILL BE APPOINTED BY MUTUAL AGREEMENT OF YOU AND WE. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE HELD IN LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

Informal Dispute Resolution. You and we each recognize and agree that good faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often result in prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcomes. Therefore, you and we each agree that, before either of us may commence an arbitration, you and we will engage in the following informal dispute resolution process:

  • The party seeking to initiate a claim in arbitration (“claimant”) must give written notice to the other party (“respondent”). To notify us that you intend to initiate informal dispute resolution, you must send an email to us at lmuseum@pagrandlodge.org, providing: your full name; the email address and mailing address associated with your ticket purchase, your counsel’s name and contact information, if you are represented by counsel; and a brief description of your claim(s) and the relief sought. To notify you that we intend to initiate informal dispute resolution, we will email you at the email address associated with your purchase and provide a brief description of our claim(s) and the relief sought, and our counsel’s name and contact information.
  • You and we will then personally meet and confer, via teleconference or videoconference, in a good faith effort to informally resolve any claim covered by this mutual arbitration agreement. If either you or us is represented by counsel, that counsel may participate in the informal dispute resolution conference.
  • All offers, promises, conduct, and statements made in the course of the informal dispute resolution process by any party, its agents, employees, and attorneys are confidential and not admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceeding, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the informal dispute resolution process.
  • The informal dispute resolution conference shall occur within sixty (60) days of receipt of the written notice described above, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by you and us. If, after participating in that conference, you and we have been unable to resolve the dispute, the claimant may commence an arbitration in accordance with this arbitration agreement.
  • Any statute of limitations will be tolled while you and we engage in the informal dispute resolution process described in this section.

Governing Law; Interpretation and Enforcement. The arbitration agreement in the Terms is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Arbitration Fees and Costs. The parties to the Arbitration will each pay one half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the American Arbitration Association.

Attorneys’ Fees. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees; we will not pay any attorneys’ fees unless ordered to do so by the arbitrator. For the avoidance of doubt, in cases where a statute gives you the right to recover attorneys’ fees if you prevail, the arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees pursuant to that statute.

Delegation; Interpretation. 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; however, in the event of a dispute about which particular version of this Agreement you agreed to, a court will decide that specific question. This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and will survive termination of the Terms.

  1. No Reliance and Forward-Looking Statements

The information contained on the Site may not be current and should not be used or relied on for any investment decision regarding our securities or for any similar purpose. We file annual, quarterly, and current reports, proxy statements, as required by law.

  1. Severability

It is our belief that the Terms do not contain any provision contrary to law. However, if any part of the Terms is determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, you agree that: (a) that part shall nevertheless be enforced to the extent permissible in order to effect the intent of the Terms, and (b) the remaining parts shall be deemed valid and enforceable.
