Further, by proceeding with Event Registration or an Annual Pass purchase, you agree that these Terms of Purchase shall apply equally to all of the Registered Parties. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that these Terms of Purchase, whether for yourself and/or on behalf of another Registered Party (including, without limitation, any minor) to indemnify, defend, and hold the Spartan Partners harmless from any liability, claim, demand, cause of action, damage, loss, or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature (each, a “Claim” and collectively “Claims”), even in the event the Claim arises because a Registered Party is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be bound by these Terms of Purchase. In addition, if, despite these Terms of Purchase, any of the Registered Parties makes a Claim against Spartan, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Spartan harmless from such claim.
- Payment Methods and Platform. Spartan accepts American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Google Pay and Apple Pay for registration to its Events and purchase of Annual Passes. Ticketsocket, Inc. (“TicketSocket”) acts as the agent to Spartan in connection with the registration process for the Events.
- Whom You Are Buying From. TicketSocket, Inc. (“TicketSocket”) acts as the agent to Spartan in connection with the registration process for the Events. When you purchase an Event Registration or for a pass covering registration fees for one or more Events, TicketSocket will process the registration which will be redirected to Stripe. Stripe (“Stripe”) acts as the agent to Spartan in connection with the transaction and payment collection for the Events.
- Fees, Pricing and Availability.
Event Registration Fees:Spartan may charge the following fees related to your participation in an Event:
a) a registration fee to participate in the Event (the “Event Registration Fee”),
b) all Event Registration entry fees, including any Processing Fees, are subject to sales tax at the prevailing rate. For events in Croatia, VAT is charged at the rate of 25%.
c) a processing fee related to use of the TicketSocket registration platform, and (e) any applicable taxes (collectively, the “Total Event Fees”). Spartan may change any fees included in the Total Event Fees for an Event at any time prior to a Participant’s purchase without notice. Events have a limited capacity, therefore Event Registration for popular Events may sell out quickly. Event Registration Fees may vary depending upon geographic market, availability, race heat type (e.g., Elite, Open, Age Group or other), venue requirements and/or regulations. Spartan may change such Event Registration Fees at any time without notice. Event date and time are subject to change.
- Canceled and Rescheduled Events. You bear all risks of inclement weather. You also understand and agree that Spartan reserves the right to cancel the Event for events beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, in the event of weather disaster (including, but not limited to, pandemic, epidemic, heat, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, storms, lightning and floods), accidents, acts or threats of war or terrorism, military conflicts, riots, government order, law or regulation, national or regional emergency or for any reason that would affect the safety and security of Event participants and/or spectators or the feasibility of the Event to be held. You agree to hold Spartan harmless from any Claim of any kind or nature related to any cancellation or disruption of the Event. In the event of an Event cancellation for any reason, there will be no refund of your payment. If an Event is canceled, and you purchased your Event Registration through the Site, you will be permitted to transfer/defer your registration to another Event, as set forth below. Spartan will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed Event.
- Refunds and Transfers. Before purchasing an Event Registration carefully review your purchase. SPARTAN DOES NOT OFFER REFUNDS OF EVENT REGISTRATION FEES OR ANNUAL PASS FEES FOR ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to an Event Registration that you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact Spartan to seek a refund. You will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase an Event Registration or Annual Pass from the Site. Should you do so, your Event Registration may be canceled and Spartan may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future Event Registrations or Annual Pass 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.
In the event that you are unable to use the Event Registration you purchased, you may be permitted to transfer/defer your Event Registration in accordance with the process set forth in the FAQs here:https://spartancroatia.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
- Billing Information Verification and Order Confirmation. Event Registration purchases are subject to credit card approval and are processed only after a billing address, and other billing information has been verified. Occasionally, Spartan receives incorrect billing or credit card account information for an Event Registration that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, Spartan customer service or registration services 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, Spartan may cancel your order without further notice.
Notwithstanding the above, 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 via Spartan customer service (info@hr.spartan.com) whether your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. Spartan will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.
- Assumption of Risk and Consent to Medical Care. The Event may involve inherent risks and dangers to participants and observers and, accordingly, you participate or observe at your own risk. Spartan does not conduct health or fitness checks on Event entrants or participants. Events are often held in remote areas or on rugged terrain, and under varying weather conditions. Spartan is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable Event experience for participants and spectators; however, injury can occur. Always stay alert before, during and after the Event. If injured, immediately ask a Spartan staff member to call for medical assistance or for directions to a medical station.
You represent and warrant that you are in good physical condition, are able to safely participate in the Event, and have no medical condition that would make your participation in the Event more hazardous. You consent to medical care and transportation in order to obtain treatment of injury to you and understand that these Terms of Purchase extend to any liability arising out of or in any way connected with the medical treatment and transportation provided in the event of an emergency and/or injury. You understand that no medical care may be available, but if it is, you assume liability for any and all medical expenses incurred as a result of your participation in the Event (where such medical expenses are not provided on a free of charge basis by any medical services organizations, clinics, or hospitals), including, but not limited to ambulance transport, hospital stays, physician, and pharmaceutical goods and services. You will be required to sign our standard form waiver and any other waivers we implement from time to time prior to participating in the event. In the event of a conflict between these terms and conditions and any waiver executed by Participant, the terms of any such waiver shall control.
