Last Updated: November 5, 2024

Thank you for your interest in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. (the “Rock Hall,” “we,” or “us”). The Rock Hall offers mobile messaging programs (each a “Program”), which you agree to use and participate in subject to these Mobile Messaging Program Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”). By opting into or participating in any of our Programs, you accept and agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, you and the Rock Hall may each be referred to individually as a “party” or collectively as the “parties.”

PLEASE NOTE: THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE WITH A CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IMPACTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IMPACTS HOW DISPUTES WITH THE ROCK HALL ARE RESOLVED. YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT. PLEASE READ THESE SMS TERMS CAREFULLY.

  1. User Opt In: The Program allows you to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages by affirmatively opting into the Program, such as through online or application-based enrollment forms. Regardless of the opt-in method you utilized to join the Program, you agree that this Agreement applies to your participation in the Program. By participating in the Program, you (i) agree to receive from us (or our service providers acting on our behalf) autodialed or prerecorded marketing SMS/MMS mobile messages at the phone number you provided when you opted into the Program, and (ii) understand that consent is not required to make any purchase from us. While you consent to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages that we (or our service providers) send or transmit using an autodialer, an automatic telephone dialing system, or any similar automated system, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of our SMS/MMS mobile messages are in fact sent or transmitted via an autodialer, an automatic telephone dialing system, or any similar automated system.

  2. User Opt Out: If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to this Agreement, you agree to reply STOP, END, CANCEL, or QUIT to any SMS/MMS mobile messages from us in order to opt out of the Program.

You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those set forth above or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list, is not a reasonable means of opting out of a Program.

Our Disclaimer of Warranty: The Program is offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas at all times and may cease to work in the event of product, software, coverage or other changes made by your wireless carrier. We will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any SMS/MMS mobile messages connected with a Program. The delivery of SMS/MMS mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from your wireless service provider/network operator and is outside of our control. We are not liable for delayed or undelivered SMS/MMS mobile messages.

If you want to participate in the Program and are between sixteen (16) and eighteen (18) years of age, you must have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to do so. By participating in the Program, you also acknowledge and agree that you are permitted by your jurisdiction’s applicable laws and regulations to participate in the Program.
  12. Waiver of Class Action; Arbitration Agreement
    1. YOU AGREE (I) THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, IN PARTICULAR THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND (II) THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE ROCK HALL ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.
    2. THE ROCK HALL AND YOU EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A PROGRAM, FROM YOUR RECEIPT OF OUR OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS’ SMS/MMS mobile messages, or FROM this Agreement (INCLUDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY), INCLUDING DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR CONCERNING THE AGREEMENT’S INTERPRETATION, VIOLATION, INVALIDITY, NON-PERFORMANCE, OR TERMINATION, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF ARBITRATION OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) APPLYING OHIO LAW, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT-OF-LAWS RULES.
    3. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five (5) years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal, except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award attorneys’ fees, unless otherwise expressly authorized by statute or contract (including this Agreement). The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages, and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. For the avoidance of doubt, this section shall be construed as a written agreement to arbitrate a dispute of any kind between you and the Rock Hall that may arise through your participation in the Program or your receipt of an SMS/MMS mobile messages from us or our service providers, and you hereby agree with us that this paragraph satisfies any writing or consent requirement of the FAA.
    4. Any and all arbitration proceedings and hearings shall be conducted in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Except as required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in a federal or state court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial and acknowledge and agree that all such proceedings shall be conducted in the federal or state courts located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of the Agreement.
  13. Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to this Agreement and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time; any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you (which may include posting updated terms on the Rock Hall’s website); and you acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
