Terms and Conditions
Effective Date: October 10, 2024
These Marquee Sports Network Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) are agreed to between Marquee Sports Network, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Marquee Sports Network,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), on behalf of ourselves and our affiliates, and you.
These Terms, together with Marquee Sports Network’s Privacy Policy set forth the terms and conditions that apply to your access and use of the Marquee Sports Network website, the Marquee Sports Network App and all other sites, mobile sites, services (including Marquee Sports Network subscriptions), applications, platforms, and tools where these Terms, or any portion thereof, appear or are linked (collectively, the “Services”). You and other individuals or entities using the Services are collectively referred to as “Users.”

If you do not agree to these Terms, or do not meet the qualifications included in these Terms, Marquee Sports Network is not willing to provide you with access or use of the Services, and you must not access or use the Services.
This Agreement contains a Dispute Resolution section, including an arbitration agreement, class action waiver, and jury trial waiver that affect your legal rights. In arbitration, there is less discovery and appellate review than in court. Please review these provisions carefully.
Marquee Sports Network reserves the right to amend or modify these Terms and to impose new or additional terms or conditions on your use of the Services, at any time, whether by making those modifications available through the Services or by providing notice to you. Any such changes or additions shall be effective immediately following posting through the Services or delivery of such notice. You may cease using the Services or terminate these Terms at any time if you do not agree to any modification.

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND DAMAGES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Although the Operator seeks to maintain safe, secure, accurate, and well-functioning Services, we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services, and there may at times be inadvertent technical or factual errors or inaccuracies. The Operators make no representation that the materials contained in the Services are appropriate or authorized for use in all countries, states, provinces, counties, or any other jurisdictions.

ON BEHALF OF THE OPERATORS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THOSE MADE EXPRESSLY IN THESE TERMS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, THE OPERATORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE
Any and all Disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or to your use of any of the Services shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to Section 10, which provides that Disputes are to be resolved through binding arbitration or small claims court, to the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Marquee Sports Network agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the County of Cook, State of Illinois, for the purpose of litigating all such disputes, and you hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such court solely for such purposes and you further waive any argument that any such court does not have jurisdiction over such dispute or that venue in any such court is not appropriate or convenient. The Operators will be entitled to recover their court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in successfully proving any breach of any term of these Terms.
10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION (INCLUDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; JURY TRIAL WAIVER)
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights. It provides for resolution of most, but not all, disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of any of the Services between you and Marquee Sports Network through individual binding arbitration instead of in court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery and appellate review are more limited. This section also contains a jury trial waiver and a waiver of any and all rights to proceed in a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general or representative action in arbitration or litigation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This section survives termination of the Agreement and the relationship between you and Marquee Sports Network.
ARBITRATION (the “arbitration agreement”)
- Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or your use of any of the Services, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, or any other legal theory, (“Dispute”) will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, except for claims filed in a small claims court that proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. Whether a Dispute is within the jurisdictional limits of small claims court is for a small claims court to decide in the first instance and for a court of competent jurisdiction to otherwise decide.
Dispute shall include: (i) any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); (ii) any dispute or claim that is currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (iii) any dispute or claim that may arise after termination of this Agreement.
The arbitrator shall decide all issues, including regarding the scope, validity, and enforceability of the arbitration agreement, which issues relate to arbitrability, and any other issues regarding the provisions of this Dispute Resolution section.
This Agreement and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing a Dispute to the attention of any government agency. You and Marquee Sports Network agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law (and not state arbitration law).
- Required Informal Resolution Process. You and Marquee Sports Network agree to work together in an effort to informally resolve any Dispute between us.
The party raising the Dispute must send the other a written notice within one year of the Dispute arising that includes all of this information: (i) information sufficient to identify any transaction and account at issue; (ii) contact information (including name, address, telephone number, and email address); and (iii) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought, including a calculation for it. The notice must be personally signed by the party raising the Dispute (and their counsel, if represented). If you are the initiating party, you must send this notice to contact@marqueesportsnetwork.com. If Marquee Sports Network is the initiating party, we will send this notice to the most recent contact information we have for you.
For a period of 60 days from receipt of a completed notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you and we agree that the parties (and their counsel) will negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute. The party receiving the notice may request a telephone settlement conference to aid in resolution. If such a conference is requested, you and a Marquee Sports Network representative will personally attend either in-person or by phone/videoconference (with counsel, if represented). The conference will be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period.
Completion of this Required Informal Resolution Process (“Process”) is a condition precedent to initiating a claim in arbitration or in litigation. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and no Dispute shall be filed with any court or arbitration tribunal prior to the resolution of the contested issue regarding the Process. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration of any Dispute, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process in connection with any Dispute in arbitration.
All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) will be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed notice through the conclusion of this Process (a period of 60 days from receipt of a completed notice or until such time as agreed upon by the parties). You or we may commence arbitration if the Dispute is not resolved through this Process, consistent with the remainder of this Agreement.
- Arbitration Procedures.The arbitration of any Dispute shall be administered by and conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (where appropriate) (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this arbitration agreement. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org.
An arbitration demand must be accompanied by a certification of compliance with the Process and be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and counsel, if represented). If you are submitting an arbitration demand, you shall send it to 3721 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60613 and follow the AAA Rules for initiating arbitration. If Marquee Sports Network is submitting an arbitration demand, we shall send it to the American Arbitration Association – Case Filing Services, 101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043 and follow the AAA Rules for initiating arbitration.
By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (i) the Required Informal Dispute-Resolution Process in Section 10.2 and (ii) all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all appropriate persons (including counsel) as a court would.
Any in-person hearing will be held in Cook County, Illinois, or at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Marquee Sports Network agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding, other than as arbitration rules may permit for the consolidation of administrative pre-hearing matters. An arbitrator must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized injunctive or declaratory relief and class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceedings are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. An award shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which you are not a named party. The arbitrator shall have authority to award the same damages and relief that a judge in a court of law would have, provided that the arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive damages unless authorized to do so by statute.
- Costs of Arbitration/Fees.
- Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and fee schedule. You and Marquee Sports Network agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, you or we may elect to engage with the AAA regarding arbitration fees, and you and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.
- In the event that either party initiates a proceeding involving any Dispute other than in accordance with this Section 10, or initiates a proceeding involving a Dispute other than in the Forum as applied in Section 9, the other party shall recover all attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this arbitration agreement and the Forum to which the parties have herein agreed.
- Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. You and Marquee Sports Network agree that these Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration (in addition to the other provisions of this arbitration agreement) shall apply if you choose to participate in a Mass Arbitration. If 25 or more similar Disputes (including yours) are asserted against Marquee Sports Network by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated (“Mass Arbitration”), you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed and ultimately proceed in court. The parties agree that as part of these procedures, their counsel shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the Disputes, streamline procedures, address the exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated, and conserve the parties’ and the AAA’s resources. If your Dispute is part of a Mass Arbitration, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled from the time that your Dispute is first submitted to the AAA until your Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration pursuant to this provision.
- STAGE ONE: If at least 50 Disputes are submitted as part of the Mass Arbitration, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Marquee Sports Network shall each select 25 Disputes to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of this initial staged process. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed in Stage One can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 50 Disputes, all shall proceed individually in Stage One). The parties, or the AAA, may determine how many cases (up to a limit of 5 unless the parties agree otherwise) may be assigned to a single arbitrator. If a Claimant withdraws his or her Claim before the issuance of an arbitration award, another Claimant shall be selected by Marquee Sports Network to proceed as part of Stage One. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After this initial set of proceedings, counsel for the parties shall participate in a global mediation session with a former federal or state court judge jointly selected by counsel in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stage One).
- STAGE TWO: If the remaining Disputes have not been resolved at the conclusion of Stage One, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Marquee Sports Network shall each select 25 Disputes per side to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed as part of this second staged process can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 50 Disputes remaining, all shall proceed individually in Stage Two). Each side may seek to replace up to five (5) arbitrators with new arbitrators, and up to five (5) Disputes may be assigned to a single arbitrator to proceed individually unless the parties agree otherwise. If a Claimant withdraws his or her Claim before the issuance of an arbitration award, another Claimant shall be selected by Marquee Sports Network to proceed as part of Stage Two. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After this second set of staged proceedings, the parties shall engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Disputes with a former federal or state court judge jointly selected by counsel in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stages One and Two).
- If the remaining Disputes are not resolved after completing Stage Two, you and Marquee Sports Network may, separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with this Agreement. You also may individually opt out of arbitration by providing your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out to Marquee Sports Network via email to contact@marqueesportsnetwork.com within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the second global mediation session. Marquee Sports Network may opt your Dispute out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of its intention to opt out to you or your counsel via email within fifteen (15) days following the conclusion of your thirty (30) day opt-out period.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for the parties may mutually agree in writing to proceed with the adjudication of some or all of the remaining Disputes in individual arbitrations consistent with the process set forth in Stage Two (except Disputes shall be randomly selected and mediation shall be elective by agreement of counsel) or through another mutually-agreeable process.
- A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. The Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this arbitration agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration apply to your Dispute and are not enforceable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Agreement.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND MARQUEE SPORTS NETWORK AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN LITIGATION, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU AND MARQUEE SPORTS NETWORK AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH AN ACTION IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RETAIN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE SETTLEMENT.
Jury Trial Waiver
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND MARQUEE SPORTS NETWORK WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
D. This Section shall apply, without limitation, to all Claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of these Terms and shall survive termination of your relationship with Marquee Sports Network.
