Where Spartan reschedules an Event for a Qualified Member, Spartan will refund the purchase price of that rescheduled Event upon request by the Qualified Member made in writing no later than 60 days from the date that the Event was originally scheduled. Any claims for refunds by Qualified Members for rescheduled Events occurring after the 60- day window will not be refunded by Spartan and Spartan has no obligation to provide any substitute benefit or renumeration in that instance. Where a Qualified Member elects to receive a refund of fees paid for a rescheduled Event, Spartan will cancel all Event registrations related to that rescheduled Event held by the Qualified Member at the time the request for refund is made. Where a Qualified Member (or any Event participants with an Event registration purchased by the Qualified Member) attend or otherwise in the rescheduled Event, Spartan will have no obligation to refund any Event registration fees to the Qualified Member. All refunds will be paid to the Qualified Member purchasing the Event registration(s) including where such Qualified Member has purchased multiple Event registrations on behalf of him/herself and others. Only a Qualified Member that has directly purchased an Event registration for a rescheduled Event may request a refund of fees paid. All refunds under this section will be made in totality by Spartan and Spartan will not provide “partial” refunds or refunds of select Event registrations under this program. Where a Qualified Member purchases an Event registration eligible for a refund through a third-party Event registration provider (e.g., Groupon), the thirdparty will refund the fees paid by the Qualified Member in lieu of Spartan. SEASON PASS HOLDERS ONLY: Where a Qualified Member is a Season Pass holder and registers for an Event that is cancelled, Spartan will only refund the fees paid by the Season Pass holder for the cancelled Event and not for the underlying cost of the Season Pass. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Spartan Plus Ticket Protection Program is only applicable to those Events scheduled to occur after November 15, 2021, and will not apply to any Event prior to that date including, but not limited to, any Event originally scheduled prior to November 15, 2021, and thereafter rescheduled to a date occurring after November 15, 2021.
