The person seeking entry pursuant to such license, and any accompanying adults or minors (“Holder”), agrees that such license is subject to these terms (“Terms”) and by purchase, acceptance and/or use of such license, Holder is deemed to have read the Terms and has agreed to be bound by them. Failure to comply with the Terms shall result in forfeiture of the license and all rights arising under it without refund and entitle Goodguys Rod & Custom, Inc., and/or venue management (individually or collectively, “Management”) to pursue all legal remedies available. Admission may be refused or revoked, and Holder may be ejected in Management’s sole discretion.

ALL VEHICLE REGISTRATION SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS WILL BE MADE EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN.  If admission is refused or revoked, or venue capacity limitations result in vehicle registration cancellation, or the Event is canceled and not rescheduled for any reason, the sole and exclusive remedy is a credit equaling the total amount paid by the Registered Participant at the time of registration towards a future 2024 or 2025 event vehicle registration of the Holder’s choice. Management’s liability for any breach of the Terms shall not exceed the original amount paid for the vehicle registration.

IN NO EVENT SHALL GOODGUYS OR VENUE MANAGEMENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AMOUNT PAID IN EXCESS OF FACE VALUE FOR THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION.

HOLDER UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY ARE WAIVING THEIR RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE OR ARBIRTRATE ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION. IF REGISTERED PARTICPANT DOES NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, REGISTERED PARTICIPANT MUST LEAVE OR NOT ENTER THE EVENT AND VENUE. THIS CLAUSE IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

The Event date and time (and gate opening) are subject to change at Management’s sole discretion, and no such change shall entitle Holder to a refund or other remedy if Holder cannot attend or for any other reason.

Holder must comply with all Event policies including without limitation policies addressing security and spectator conduct, health and safety, and bags. Holder and Holder’s belongings may be searched or assessed. Prohibited items may be confiscated and Holder’s admission may be denied or revoked at Management’s sole discretion. Holder consents to such searches and assessments and waives all related claims. If Holder does not consent, Holder acknowledges Management has the right to deny or revoke Holder’s admission without refund. Management reserves the right to deny or revoke the admission of any person who it determines, in its sole discretion, poses a risk to the health or safety of other attendees or whose conduct violates these Terms, any venue policies, or is otherwise disorderly (or complicit therein) without refund.
