Terms and Conditions

LIVE EVENT LIABILITY WAIVER AND RELEASE

Updated as of September 20, 2023

These Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms of Use”) contain disclaimers of warranties, disclaimers of liability, and a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver.  Please read them carefully.

Outside of the United States, WWE acknowledges that there are certain mandatory local rights and laws (including without limitation in respect of unfair consumer terms) which may not be excluded, restricted or modified or may only be limited to a certain extent (“local law obligations”). Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes, restricts or modifies the local law obligations except as permitted by such laws.

General

These Terms of Use apply to this website, all related WWE websites (each a “WWE Website”), mobile applications, and services (including WWE’s subscription video streaming service (the “WWE Network”)) that link to this policy (collectively, the “Services”) unless we have posted special terms of use to a particular website or with respect to a particular service. In that case, those special terms of use apply to that website or service to the extent that they are different from these Terms of Use. The Services are provided by or on behalf of World Wrestling Entertainment, LLC. or its affiliates or subsidiaries ("WWE", “we”, “us”). By using the Services, you signify your agreement to these terms and conditions of these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, please do not use the Services.

Please note that these Terms of Use contain capitalized words or phrases. These words and phrases are defined terms. Their definitions are found either in our Privacy Policy or in these Terms of Use. To help you use our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use we have made some words, phrases and headings into hyperlinks. These words, phrases and headings have color highlighting.

These Terms of Use apply to you whether you are a "Visitor" (which means that you are simply visiting a WWE website) or a "Registered Fan" (which means that you have registered with WWE to participate in online activities or paid subscription services). The term "User" refers to both a Visitor and a Registered Fan. Registered Fans are also referred to simply as "Fans." The term "Membership" refers to a Registered Fan's account and ability to post to and participate in activities and services hosted on a WWE website. If you wish to become a Registered Fan, you must read these Terms of Use and indicate your agreement with these Terms of Use and with any other instructions or requirements that may be part of a registration process.

PLEASE NOTE: Eligibility. Membership is void where prohibited. Fans may not register with the Services unless: (a) all registration information you submit is accurate, current and complete; (b) you agree to maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) you are 13 years of age or older; and (d) your use of the Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Participation in the Services includes, but is not limited to, postings to or other forms of participation with forums, blogs, groups, comments, chats, or the submission of photos, videos or other content ("Participation"). Any content generated by a User involving the use of any functionality of a WWE Website is referred to as "User-Generated Content".

Any User-Generated Content may be deleted and your registration may be cancelled without warning, if we believe that you are under 13 years of age, if we believe that you are under 18 years of age and you represent yourself as 18 or older, or if we believe you are over 18 and represent yourself as under 18. You may not engage in any form of Participation on behalf of another person and if we believe you have, WWE reserves the right to remove it.

Subject to any local law obligations, we may change these Terms of Use at any time. We suggest that you review these Terms of Use periodically for changes. Your use of the Services after the posting of changes to these Terms of Use will mean you accept the changes. Where, however any change to these Terms of Use is a material change (i.e. not one which is merely a small or technical change which does not affect you in any material way) or, in the case of the WWE Network, we make a significant change to the basis on which the WWE Network is made available to you (including, for Month-to-Month Recurring Subscriptions, a change in the price payable by you each month) we will notify you of the relevant change(s) by email, using the email address you provided to us at registration. If the change is an increase in monthly subscription price, or if it materially disadvantages you, we will notify you at least one month before the change takes effect, giving you the opportunity to cancel your subscription before the relevant change comes into effect. Your continued use of the Services after the changes come into effect (and, in the case of any paid subscription, your failure to cancel the same within the relevant notice period) will mean you accept the changes. If a material change to these Terms of Use (or to the WWE Network itself) needs to be made more quickly for security, legal or regulatory reasons, we will give you as much notice as we are reasonably able to give you. The most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use will always be available on the WWE website and when we notify you that the Terms of Use are changing we recommend that you print the latest version for your records.

WWE may also offer other services from time to time that are governed by different terms and conditions of use. You will be provided with a copy of such terms and conditions of use prior to you contracting to receive such services. The Services are based in the United States. If you are outside the EEA or UK, by using the Services and/or by submitting personal information to the Services, you consent to having your information transferred to the United States and being processed and maintained in the United States, subject to applicable U.S. laws. U.S. laws may be different than the law of your home country. For New Zealand based subscribers, see our Privacy Policy for more details on the transfer of your personal information.

Registration and Payment for WWE Network

Registration Process. Users may register for a subscription to WWE Network, here. By registering for a subscription to WWE Network, you warrant that (1) you are at least 18 years of age or the age of majority, where older under local law, (2) all information you provided during the registration process is true and accurate, (3) you will not permit third parties to access your account information, or to otherwise assign or transfer your rights to the Services, (4) you are the cardholder of any credit or debit you provide to us, or the account holder of any PayPal account you provide to us and (5) you will provide us with a current, valid and accepted method of payment, currently credit card, debit card, PayPal account and, in select countries, WWE Network prepaid gift card (as such may be updated from time to time, the “Payment Method”) throughout the term of your subscription. You should make sure that you maintain the confidentiality of your registration and login information, as you are responsible for all charges incurred during your use of WWE Network and the related services, and this may include any charges incurred on your account by other parties which are incurred as a result of you failing to take reasonable care in protecting your registration and login information. PLEASE NOTE THAT SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION FOR A SUBSCRIPTION TO THE WWE NETWORK IS SUBJECT TO OUR ACCEPTANCE AND CONFIRMATION TO YOU, WHICH MAY BE GIVEN OR REFUSED IN OUR SOLE REASONABLE DISCRETION.

Month-to-Month Recurring Subscription. All subscriptions are on a month-to-month recurring basis (except for the 12 Month Gift Subscription described below), beginning on the date we confirm that we have accepted your order for the WWE Network and continuing for recurring one (1) month periods from the date on which you make your first payment for your subscription to WWE Network unless and until you cancel your membership or we terminate it (in each case in accordance with these Terms of Use). If you purchase a Month-to-Month Recurring Subscription, then each month of your subscription beginning on the date on which your first payment is payable to us, we will charge your Payment Method and you authorize us to collect the applicable subscription payment and applicable taxes (including but not limited to sales tax and value added tax (VAT)). You can cancel your subscription at any time, but you must cancel your subscription before it renews for a subsequent month in order to avoid being charged for the subsequent month’s subscription fees. UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT APPLICABLE MONTHLY PERIOD THAT YOU WISH TO CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE FOR SUCCESSIVE ONE (1) MONTH PERIODS AND YOU AUTHORIZE US TO COLLECT THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT AND APPLICABLE TAXES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SALES TAX AND VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)).

12 Month Gift Subscription. The 12 Month Gift Subscription may be purchased for yourself or used as a gift for someone else and grants the recipient access to the WWE Network, beginning on the date the recipient registers for the paid subscription and ending 12 months thereafter. THIS IS A 12 MONTH FIXED TERM CONTRACT WHICH IS PAID FOR IN FULL IN ADVANCE. IN CONTRAST TO A MONTH TO MONTH RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION, SUBJECT TO ANY LOCAL LAW OBLIGATIONS, IT CANNOT BE CANCELLED WITHOUT CAUSE DURING THE 12 MONTH TERM.

Promotional Offers. We may offer special promotional plans or memberships with unique terms and conditions (“Promotional Subscriptions”). These Terms of Use apply to all Promotional Subscriptions and any different terms from those described here will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. If we ask for your Payment Method for a Promotional Subscription, unless expressly stated otherwise, and subject to any local law obligations, Promotional Subscriptions will automatically convert to a paid Month-to-Month Recurring Subscription (unless you cancel the service before the Promotional Subscription ends). Upon the expiration of your Promotional Subscription your Payment Method will be processed, subject to all Terms of Use, including any automatic renewal and/or recurring subscription terms detailed above. It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from us that your Promotional Subscription has ended or that your Month-to-Month Recurring Subscription has begun. We reserve the right to determine in our absolute discretion your Promotional Subscription eligibility and to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our Promotional Subscription offers to the extent permitted by local law obligations. 

Free Trials. Access to WWE Network may be made available to you for free for a limited time (a “Trial Subscription”). Trial Subscriptions are for new and certain former subscribers only. WWE reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to determine your Trial Subscription eligibility. All of the Terms of Use apply to Trial Subscriptions and such Trial Subscription does not decrease the minimum subscription commitments of a paid subscription (accordingly, by way of example, if your Trial Subscription is for 14 days and upon expiry of that period it then, in accordance with the relevant promotion (and these Terms of Use), converts to a paid Month-to-Month Recurring Subscription, your minimum paid subscription period would be one month from the date on which your paid subscription started (and not one month from the date on which your Trial Subscription started)). If you register for a Trial Subscription, please carefully review the conditions of the Trial Subscription. In some cases, users agree to subscribe to WWE Network on a paid basis at the end of their Trial Subscription, unless they cancel the service before the Trial Subscription ends. If we ask for your Payment Method for a Trial Subscription and you do not affirmatively cancel the Service before your Trial Subscription ends, then your Payment Method will be processed and your subscription will be converted into a paid subscription, subject to all Terms of Use, including any automatic renewal and/or recurring subscription terms detailed above and to the extent permitted by local law obligations. Your paid subscription will be treated as starting on the date on which your Trial Subscription was converted to a paid subscription. It is very important to understand that you will not receive a notice from us that your Trial Subscription has ended or that your paid subscription has begun. IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION CONVERTED INTO A PAID SUBSCRIPTION, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SERVICE BEFORE THE END OF YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION BY CALLING 1-833-CALL-WWE (1-833-225-5993) (IF YOU ARE IN THE UNITED STATES) OR +1 512-225-6300 (IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, THOUGH PLEASE NOTE INTERNATIONAL CALL CHARGES MAY STILL APPLY) OR BY CLICKING THE “CANCEL” LINK IN THE CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION SECTION OF YOUR WWE NETWORK ACCOUNT ON THE WEB OR IF YOU ARE A SUBSCRIBER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM (“UK”), THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (“EEA”) OR NEW ZEALAND, YOU MAY ALSO USE THE CANCELLATION FORM (WHICH CAN BE FOUND HERE).

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN THE UK AND EEA ONLY: If you are a subscriber to the WWE Network in the UK or the EEA, please note that any Trial Subscription does not affect your legal rights to cancel during the ‘Cooling-Off Period’ (see further Cancellation/Refund Policy below). Accordingly, the Cooling-Off Period commences at the start of any Trial Subscription and if the Cooling-Off Period is longer than the Trial Subscription, your right to cancel (as set out below) will continue until the end of the Cooling-Off Period, notwithstanding the expiry of your Trial Subscription.Discontinuation of WWE Network. If we discontinue the WWE Network service, then we (i) will notify you by email, at the email address you provide to us during registration, (ii) may provide you with information about similar or new Services, and (iii) reserve the right to cancel the applicable service. We will give you at least one month’s notice of a discontinuation of the WWE Network. For Month-to-Month Recurring Subscriptions, we will not take payment from you for the month in which the discontinuation is effective (or thereafter). For a 12 Month Gift Subscription, you will be entitled to a partial refund in respect of the unexpired part of the relevant 12 month period following the date of discontinuation.

Billing Information. Should you register for a Month-to-Month Subscription, we automatically bill your Payment Method each month, on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paid subscription (which will be set out on the page of the WWE website on which you made your order (and which may be later than the date on which we confirm acceptance of your order)). Should you purchase a 12 Month Gift Subscription, we bill your Payment Method once in full on the date set out on the page of the WWE website on which you made your order (and which may be later than the date on which we confirm acceptance of your order). Our billing services may be provided by Dice Technology (“Dice”) and payments for WWE Network may appear on a user’s bill as being charged to Dice, or to another related vendor we use for this purpose. As used in these Terms of Use, "billing" shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment collection, as applicable, against your Payment Method.

WWE Network Gift Cards. WWE Network gift cards (including electronic gift codes) (collectively “Gift Cards”) are prepaid, one time use cards and are only redeemable for a WWE Network subscription in countries where the service is offered in the currency denominated on the Gift Card or where the currency denominated on the card is the local currency. To redeem a Gift Card, go to www.wwe.com/redeem and enter the card’s PIN. You must create or have an existing valid Membership (i.e. be a Registered Fan) in order to redeem a Gift Card. Membership and use of the WWE Network is subject to acceptance of these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. Gift Cards may be offered for various pre-paid subscription periods and the entire value of the Gift Card will be applied to your WWE Network account upon redemption. Upon expiration of the Gift Card pre-paid subscription period, if you do not have a current Payment Method on file, your access to WWE Network will be terminated. Gift Cards are not refundable or redeemable for cash, except to the extent required by applicable law. Gift cards are not redeemable on iTunes or Apple TV for WWE Network subscriptions. Gift Cards cannot be reloaded or resold and once redeemed are non-transferable. Gifts Cards do not expire and are not subject to any transaction fees. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply. Title to the Gift Cards and the risk of loss, destruction or deterioration pass to the purchaser upon purchase. WWE is not responsible for any Gift Cards that are lost, stolen, destroyed or used without your permission. In the event a Gift Card is non-functional, your sole remedy, and our sole liability, will be the replacement of such Gift Card. Gift Cards are issued by World Wrestling Entertainment, LLC.

Sales / Use Taxes. WWE may be required to collect sales or use tax for certain purchases, including for the purchase of WWE Network subscriptions. In states or regions that impose a sales or use tax, certain purchases might be subject to tax even if WWE is not required to collect sales or use tax by any particular state or region. A purchase is not exempt merely because it is made over the Internet, by catalog, or by other remote means. Whether sales or use tax will be collected on a given purchase and the amount of the tax charged depends on a number of factors including whether the seller is subject to a tax collection obligation in that state or region. The purchaser may be responsible for any taxes not collected by WWE. Certain states require purchasers to file a sales/use tax return annually reporting taxable purchases that were not taxed and to pay such tax. For details, see the website of the applicable taxing authority. If WWE collects sales or use tax in connection with a purchase, the amount of the tax will either be shown prior to completion of the purchase or reflected in the final confirmation of that purchase.

KENTUCKY: WWE is not required to and does not collect Kentucky sales or use tax. The Commonwealth of Kentucky requires Kentucky purchasers to report all purchases of tangible personal property or digital property that are not taxed by the retailer and pay use tax on those purchases unless exempt under Kentucky law. The tax may be reported and paid on the Kentucky individual income tax return or by filing a consumer use tax return with the Kentucky Department of Revenue. These forms and corresponding instructions may be found on the Kentucky Department of Revenue's Internet Web site, http://revenue.ky.gov/.

OKLAHOMA: WWE is not required to and does not collect Oklahoma sales or use tax. The State of Oklahoma requires Oklahoma purchasers to report all purchases that were not taxed and to pay tax on those purchases unless exempt under Oklahoma law. The tax may be reported and paid on the Oklahoma individual income tax return [Form 511] or by filing a consumer use tax return [Form 21-1]. The referenced forms and corresponding instructions are available on the Oklahoma Tax Commission website, www.tax.ok.gov.

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN NEW ZEALAND ONLY: Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices and other consideration will include Goods and Services Tax (GST), if applicable.

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN THE UK OR EEA ONLY: All prices and other consideration will be expressed to you inclusive of VAT and other mandatory local taxes.Cancellation/Refund Policy. Without prejudice to your statutory rights and subject to local law obligations as set out below, you may only cancel your subscription to WWE Network in accordance with these Terms of Use. To cancel your subscription, you may either (i) call 1-833-CALL-WWE (1-833-225-5993) (if you are in the United States) or +1 512-225-6300 (if you are outside of the United States, though please note international call charges may still apply); or (ii) click on the “Cancel” link in the Billing Information section of your WWE Network account. Cancellations will only be effective at the end of each subscription period. Except only as otherwise expressly set out in these Terms of Use and/or as required pursuant to local law obligations, SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, PARTIAL REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS OR PARTIAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIODS. This means that you will have continued access to WWE Network for the remainder of the current subscription period and will not receive a refund.

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN NEW ZEALAND ONLY: If you are subscriber to the WWE Network in New Zealand, the cancellation/refund policy applies as set out in the above paragraph. You may use the methods above to cancel your subscription or you may also use the cancellation form (which can be found here). Please note, in addition, that you may have a legal right to cancel your subscription and receive a partial refund in circumstances where we are unable to make available to you your subscription or the WWE Network and we are unable to provide an adequate alternative service. In those circumstances, you may have a right to cancel and obtain a partial refund of your monthly subscription fee, the partial refund being the portion of the month remaining, as at the time of cancellation.

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN UK AND EEA ONLY: If you are a subscriber to the WWE Network in the UK or the EEA, without prejudice to your other statutory rights including in relation to defective content or services, the cancellation/refund policy applies as set out in the above paragraph. You may use the methods above to cancel your subscription or you may also use the cancellation form (which can be found here). However, please note, in addition, that you have a legal right to cancel your subscription and receive a full refund (if we have taken any payments) at any time during the period commencing from the time at which we accept your order for the WWE Network and ending at the end of the 14th full day after the date on which we accepted your order (“Cooling-Off Period”) unless you have started using the WWE Network services included in your subscription, in which case you consent to WWE beginning with the performance of the WWE Network services before the end of the Cooling-Off Period and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal). Please note that if you have benefitted from a Trial Subscription, the Cooling-Off Period itself will expire at the end of the 14th full day after the date on which your Trial Subscription started (however long the Trial Subscription period is). For the avoidance of doubt, however, if your Trial Subscription period is longer than the Cooling-Off Period, your right to cancel without incurring any charges would continue for the remainder of the Trial Subscription period (subject to and in accordance with the terms of the relevant Trial Subscription). If you have a Month-to-Month Recurring Subscription, you may cancel it without cause at any time, but PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANY CANCELLATIONS MADE IN THIS WAY AFTER EXPIRY OF THE COOLING-OFF PERIOD WILL ONLY BE EFFECTIVE AT THE END OF THE RELEVANT SUBSCRIPTION MONTH IN WHICH THE CANCELLATION IS MADE. This means that if you cancel for convenience after the Cooling-Off Period, you will have continued access to WWE Network for the remainder of the then current subscription month and will not receive a refund. Advice about your legal rights is available from a lawyer, your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office or equivalent consumer adviser.

Right Of Withdrawal. To the extent allowed under applicable law, your right of withdrawal is hereby waived. If your country of residence gives you a right of withdrawal and such right may not be waived hereunder in accordance with applicable law, you may cancel your subscription to the WWE Network prior to the expiration of your country of residence’s “cooling-off period” (“Right of Withdrawal Period”) and be eligible for a full refund (if we have taken any payment). If you have started using the WWE Network services included in your subscription, you consent to WWE beginning with the performance of the WWE Network services before the end of such Right of Withdrawal Period and acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT ANY CANCELLATIONS MADE IN THIS WAY AFTER EXPIRY OF YOUR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE’S RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL PERIOD WILL ONLY BE EFFECTIVE AT THE END OF THE RELEVANT SUBSCRIPTION MONTH IN WHICH THE CANCELLATION IS MADE. This means that if you cancel for convenience after the Right of Withdrawal Period, you will have continued access to WWE Network for the remainder of the then current subscription month and will not receive a refund.

System Requirements. WWE Network is a streaming service that supports 720p HD streaming, subject to content availability, device limitations and bandwidth.

Of course, Visitors to a WWE Website have the ability to submit information of this type to us at any time even if we do not solicit it. Collectively this type of information, whether solicited by us or not, and whether or not posted to this Site or any other WWE Website, is referred to as "Submissions".

WWE does not want any video Submissions which involve stunts, tricks, or maneuvers that replicate, mimic, or portray in any fashion, the activities undertaken by WWE athletes and personnel. WWE would like to remind you that its Superstars are trained sports entertainers. You should never try to emulate what they do in and out of the ring.

Commenting on WWE.com and other Services

WWE has created opportunities on WWE Websites for our fans so that they can have a safe and enjoyable place to interact with other fans, express themselves, and support their favorite WWE Superstars. In order to maximize this opportunity for all WWE fans, WWE requires that fans agree to the following terms when they participate in commenting on WWE Websites.

A. Post only appropriate content

What follows are examples of the kind of content that is illegal or prohibited to post anywhere on a WWE Website. WWE reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in WWE's sole discretion, violates this provision, including without limitation, removing the offending content and terminating the registration of such violators. Prohibited content includes, but is not limited to, content that:

  • Harasses or advocates violence or harassment of another person;
  • Publicly posts information that poses or creates a privacy or security risk to any person;
  • Constitutes or promotes information that you know if false or misleading or promotes illegal activities or conduct that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory or libelous;
  • Constitutes or promotes an illegal or unauthorized copy of another person's copyrighted work;
  • Is patently offensive and promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual;
  • Contains nudity, excessive violence, or offensive subject matter or contains a link to an adult website;
  • Solicits personal information from anyone under the age of 18;
  • Promotes any criminal activity or enterprise;
  • Solicits passwords or personal identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes from other Users;
  • Involves commercial activities or sales or contests or advertising, without WWE's prior written consent;
  • Includes a photograph or video of another person that you have posted without that person's consent;
  • Imitates or purports to be a posting to a WWE Website by someone other than the person actually posting.

B. Report Inappropriate Content

Help WWE remove content that doesn't belong here. If you become aware of misuse of a WWE Website by any person, you agree to click on the "Contact WWE" or the "Report Abuse" links.

After the WWE fan community identifies content through this website reporting tool, the content will be automatically reviewed, and WWE may exercise its discretion to either further review or permanently remove the offending content or conduct and to warn or, as appropriate, to bar from being Registered Fans those transmitting such content or engaging in such conduct.

We need all Users to report suspicious persons and inappropriate content they encounter on any part of a WWE Website. And we strongly encourage Users under the age of 18 to talk to their parents or a responsible adult immediately if someone online says or does something to make them feel uncomfortable or threatened in any way.

C. Keep your Guard Up!

You agree to choose carefully the User-Generated Content you post on or through the Services and that you provide to other Users. Although the Services may not include any form of Prohibited Content, as defined in Section A, some information, materials, products or services submitted to the Services by other Fans may, in whole or in part, be unauthorized, impermissible or otherwise violate these Terms of Use, and WWE assumes no responsibility or liability for such material. 

Remember that although the use of screen names by Fans is not a violation of the Terms of Use, people are not always who they say they are. You should always be careful when communicating with people you do not know in the real world. And it is always risky to meet anyone in person whom you don't know through real world friends.

Be cautious about posting and sharing personal information, especially information that could be used to identify you or locate you offline, such as your address or telephone number.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Fans. WWE reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and other Fans.

WWE cannot guarantee that any Participation or User-Generated Content on WWE Websites was actually created by the individual or entity claiming authorship.

However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services immediately and without notice if in our sole discretion you fail to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of Use or any other term or condition of use posted on the Services. In particular, we may not give you notice where your breach is serious or repeated, where we are restricted or prevented from giving notice due to technical, operation or legal reasons, or where giving notice may harm WWE or others (including other Users) including as a result of exposing WWE or others to legal liability, compromising or interfering with the security of integrity of the WWE Website or Services. Upon termination of your use of the Services, you must stop all access to and cease use of the Services and destroy all materials obtained from the Services and all copies of such materials.

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN UK, EEA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY: If you are a subscriber to the WWE Network in the UK, EEA or New Zealand, the above Termination provisions still apply to you in full, save only that, in respect of your subscription to the WWE Network, the second paragraph above (the paragraph beginning “WWE may terminate your status as a Registered Fan…") does not apply to you and the remedies available to you shall not be so limited as described in the second paragraph and your full statutory rights shall apply.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut and are subject to applicable copyright and intellectual property laws, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Except as provided in this section, and subject to local law obligations. by using the Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other states, countries, territories, or jurisdictions.

With respect to any and all disputes and claims arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or the Services (including without limitation the Privacy Policy), WWE and you agree to negotiate in good faith to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution. If you and WWE do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted by binding arbitration under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration laws, except as provided in this section. 

The arbitration will be done by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of filing, arbitrator, and administration fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than US$10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. In addition, WWE will not seek attorney’s fees and costs in arbitration unless it is determined by the arbitrator that the claims are frivolous. 

If your claim is worth US$10,000 or less, We agree that You may choose whether arbitration will be conducted by written submissions, telephone, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator's award.

Compared to lawsuits in court, arbitration is less formal. In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator is used instead of a judge or jury, and court review of the arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator has the ability to award the same relief and damages as a court.

As the sole exception to this arbitration requirement, a User may pursue a claim in small claims court provided such claim is within that court’s jurisdiction and provided that the User proceeds only on an individual basis.

If You choose to commence arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send a written notice to WWE by certified mail requesting arbitration or a small claim court action and describing your claim (“Notice”). Regardless of which party sends the Notice, it should describe the basis of the claim and set forth the specific relief sought. This letter must be addressed to: General Counsel, World Wrestling Entertainment, LLC, 707 Washington Blvd, Stamford, CT 06901. If WWE initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address of the User used for access to the Services. If You and WWE do not reach an agreed upon resolution within 30 days of receiving notice, You or WWE have the right to begin an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. A form Notice to initiate arbitration can be copied or downloaded at www.adr.org.

For timeliness purposes, You and WWE agree to begin any arbitration or claim in small claims court within one year after a claim arises; otherwise, the claim is waived.

You and WWE also agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor the WWE will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. We both also expressly waive the right to a trial by jury. 

To the extent arbitration is not applicable, you and WWE agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts (as applicable) located in Fairfield County of the State of Connecticut. You agree that WWE may bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction in Connecticut to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

WWE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS IN UK AND EEA ONLY: If you are a subscriber to the WWE Network in the UK or the EEA, only this paragraph shall apply in respect of any dispute between us regarding your subscription to the WWE Network (i.e. instead of the paragraphs above in this Dispute Resolution section). These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut and you and WWE agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Connecticut. This means that if you or we are able to bring a legal action relating to these Terms of Use we can do this in a court located in Connecticut, but you or we may also bring an action in another country if this is accepted by its courts. Such a court is likely to be the court in the country in which you live and although the laws of Connecticut will still apply it will be subject to any mandatory local law applicable in your country of residence.

General Provisions

If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between us relating to your use of the Services. The failure of WWE to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in the Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
