Last Updated: December 31, 2019

UNLESS YOU OPT OUT, THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES.

These terms and conditions of service (the “Terms of Use”) apply to the Coach Spo website located at www.coachspo.com (the “Site”). The Site is the property of and operated by Miami Heat Limited Partnership (“Heat,” “we,” “our,” and “us”). Our Site offers a wide variety of resources, products, and services, which may include shopping services, payment tools, communication methods, online directories, administrative services, and information, some or all of which may be accessed through a variety of means.

By using this Site, including by creating an account or submitting any information through the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE THE SITE AND DO NOT SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION TO THE HEAT THROUGH THE SITE.

Modification
We may modify these Terms of Use from time to time without prior notice. Any modifications we make are effective as soon as we post them to the Site. You should read these Terms of Use whenever you visit the Site so that you are aware of any modifications. By using the Site after modifications have been posted you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use as modified.

We also reserve the right to change, modify, or discontinue any portion of the Site without notice, on a temporary or permanent basis. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

Eligibility

Placing an order through the Site requires your agreement to these Terms of Use and any additional terms or conditions of sale. If you are under the Age of Consent (which may vary depending on where you live) or otherwise cannot lawfully enter into a contract, you must have your parent or guardian place an order on your behalf. When you place an order you are representing that you have the legal right to enter into a contract, and we rely on that representation.

The products you may purchase through the Site are meant to be for personal use, and not for resale. By placing an order through the Site, you represent that you are not buying the products for commercial purposes or any other commercial benefit. If we believe that your order would violate the Terms of Use or that you are engaging in fraudulent or grey-market activities, we reserve the right to refuse your order. Any orders placed in violation of this provision shall be null and void.

Online Account

If you register or create an account, by doing so you agree to: (a) provide true and complete information; and (b) keep that information up to date. We may suspend or terminate your access to our Site if we reasonably suspect that the information is false, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete.

You may also be asked to choose a password and a user name. Please select a password that would not be obvious to someone trying to guess your password, and change it regularly as an added precaution. You are responsible for the safety and security of your password and account login and for all activities that occur under your password or account identification. Unless you make us aware of unauthorized access to your account, we will assume that use of your account is authorized. We are not responsible for any consequences from unauthorized access to your account that come from your failure to protect your password and account login. We reserve the right to take reasonable steps to ensure the security of the Site and your account. Those steps may include terminating your account, changing your password, or requesting additional information to authorize transactions on your account. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time without their express permission.

Privacy

We take your privacy seriously. For details on how we collect and use your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy. By using the Site you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described in our Privacy Policy.

We use reasonable security measures that are designed to protect personal information from loss, disclosure, misuse, and destruction. These measures may include regular review of our data collection and storage processes, data encryption, and security software on our networks and servers. Please be aware, however, that no data security measures can guarantee that the Site is free of threats or other vulnerabilities. You use the Site and transmit information to us at your own risk.

Accuracy and Availability of Products and/or Services

We work hard to make sure the content of the Site accurate, complete, reliable, and updated, but we cannot guarantee that the Site is error free. If we determine that a product or service described on the Site contains an inaccurate price or description, we reserve the right to take reasonable actions to correct the error, which may include canceling your order, unless prohibited by law. We may have different prices on the Site than in our stores. We may make improvements or changes to content, information products, services, or programs described on the Site at any time without notice. If you become aware of any pricing or descriptive errors or inconsistencies with any products or services you order through the Site please notify us immediately. Your sole remedy in the event of an error is to return the product or cancel the service according to the terms of the return policy or relevant agreement.

From time to time we may change the items offered on the Site and may limit the quantity of products that you may order in a single buying session.

Governing Law

By visiting or using the Site, you agree to be bound by the laws of the State of Florida and the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, which will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and the Heat.

Dispute Resolution

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE SUIT IN COURT.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site, or in connection with any products or services sold or distributed via the Site, as applicable, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator can, however, award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms of Use as a court would.  The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on you and the Heat, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, Alan Fein, Esq., at 150 West Flagler Street, Suite 2200, Miami, Florida 33132. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse the foregoing fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Heat agree not to seek any attorney’s fees and expert-witness costs unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted for an improper purpose. You and the Heat understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, you and the Heat would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You and the Heat further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules in Miami-Dade County, Florida. You and the Heat agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in Miami-Dade County, Florida to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by these arbitration provisions by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: ATTN: General Counsel, 601 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, Florida 33132 and termscoachspo@coachspo.com.

You must provide your name, address, email that is associated with your Heat account if there is one, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration provision, within the later of 30 days after your first use of the Site, or within 30 days of substantive changes, if any, being made to these Terms of Use, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies in accordance with the terms of this section. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, the Heat will similarly not be bound by them. If you do not affirmatively elect to opt out as described above, your use of the Site will be deemed to be your irrevocable acceptance of these Terms of Use and any changes/updates to this section or otherwise.

If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect. In the event some or all of these arbitration provisions are determined to be unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim, dispute, or controversy is brought that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of these arbitration provisions, you and the Heat agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.

Class Action Waiver

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

You agree that you and the Heat will resolve any disputes, claims, or controversies on an individual basis, and that claim(s), if any, brought under these Terms of Use in connection with the Site will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and the Heat further agree that you shall not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with the Site.

The terms of this provision will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any of the Heat’s affiliates, to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Site.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and, at our option, defend the Heat (including our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers, and any third party information providers) from and against all damages, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees in connection with or arising out of violation of these Terms of Use, your use of the Site, the Content, the Contribution, your passwords and/or account information, or your violation of any law or the rights of another. These obligations will survive any termination of your relationship with the Heat or your use of our Site.

Termination of Right to Use the Site

If you breach any of these Terms of Use, the Heat may terminate your right to use the Site. Upon such termination, you shall immediately delete or destroy any copies (electronic or otherwise) of the Content or any other materials or information you have obtained from the Site.

No Waiver

No delay or omission by the Heat to exercise any right or power occurring upon any breach of these Terms of Use shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by the Heat of any breach of these Terms of Use shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Severability

The determination that any provision of these Terms of Use is invalid or unenforceable will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions or of that provision under other circumstances. Any invalid or unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use (as amended from time to time), including policies incorporated herein (e.g., Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Heat regarding the Site and your use of the Site or the Content, and supersede any prior agreement or understanding, arrangements, undertaking, or proposal, written or oral, between you and the Heat in relation to such matters. No oral representation or agreement given by any party shall alter the interpretation of these Terms of Use.
