- ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Please read this section carefully. The Club cares deeply about maintaining good relationships with fans. If the Holder has a question or concern, a telephone call to customer service may resolve the matter quickly and amicably. Any claim or dispute not resolved informally must be resolved in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver.
Agreement to Arbitrate. The Club and Holder agree that any and all claims and disputes between the Club and Holder and/or Accompanying Party/Parties that arise out of or relate in any way to (i) these Terms and Conditions, (ii) this ticket, including without limitation use of and/or purchase of a Nationals ticket, (iii) the Official Washington Nationals Website, (iv) the Club’s advertisements and/or marketing communications, and/or (v) any related dealings or relationship between the Club and Holder and/or Accompanying Party/Parties will be resolved through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. Holder and the Club agree that this Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and not by state law. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the Class Action Waiver.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term “claim” has the broadest reasonable meaning and includes, without limitation, initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims; disputes based upon contract, negligence, fraud, misrepresentation, and other intentional torts, constitution(s), state, federal, or local statutes, regulations, ordinances, common law and/or equity; and/or data breach or privacy claims. The term “claim” shall be interpreted broadly and include, without limitation, any dispute, claim, or controversy (i) that arose before acceptance of these Terms and Conditions or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising and/or marketing communications) or (ii) that may arise after the termination of these Terms and Conditions.
In any claim to be resolved by arbitration, neither Holder nor the Club will be able to have a court or jury trial or, as detailed below, participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that Holder and the Club would have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties without the written consent of both the Holder and the Club. THE HOLDER AND THE CLUB ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING.
Additional Arbitration Provisions. Arbitrations shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the applicable AAA rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. The question of whether a claim is subject to arbitration shall be determined by an AAA arbitrator. Holder may obtain information about arbitration, arbitration procedures and fees from AAA by calling 800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. If AAA is unable or unwilling to arbitrate a dispute, then the dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization or arbitrator that both parties agree upon in writing or that is appointed by a court with jurisdiction pursuant to Section 5 of the FAA. The arbitration shall take place in the District of Columbia. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in an individual action in court, provided that the arbitrator’s authority is limited to resolving claims between the Club and Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties alone, except as otherwise specifically stated herein. Any finding, award or judgment from an arbitration of any claim shall apply only to that arbitration. No finding, award or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any claim, except where such claim has been extinguished, waived, or otherwise disposed of in the other arbitration. The parties agree that this Arbitration Agreement extends to any other parties involved in any claims subject to arbitration, including, but not limited to, any Accompanying Parties, Related Parties and/or Released Parties. This Arbitration Agreement shall take precedence over the rules of the arbitration organization or arbitrator and the other provisions in these Terms and Conditions in the event of any conflict.
The Club will be responsible for paying all arbitration fees other than the lower amount of filing fees that Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties would have incurred in either a state or federal court with jurisdiction over the claims, as applicable. The parties shall also bear the fees and expenses of their own attorneys, experts and witnesses unless otherwise required by applicable law, these Terms and Conditions or the arbitration administrator’s rules. If the arbitrator determines that any party’s claim or defense is frivolous or wrongfully intended to oppress or harass the other party, the arbitrator may award sanctions in the form of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party if such sanctions could be imposed under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The party raising the claim or dispute must send the other a written notice within one year of the claim or dispute arising, regardless of any applicable statutes of limitations relating to such claim, that includes the following information: (i) information sufficient to identify any transaction and account at issue; (ii) contact information (including name, address, telephone number, and email address); and (iii) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and the relief sought, including a calculation for it. The notice must be personally signed by the party raising the claim or dispute (and their counsel, if represented). If the Holder is the initiating party, the Holder must send this notice to Washington Nationals Baseball Club, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1500 South Capitol Street, SE, Washington, DC 20003. If the Club is the initiating party, the Club will send this notice to the most recent contact information the Club has for the Holder.
For the avoidance of doubt, a claim may be subject to multiple agreements or provisions requiring arbitration, and any such agreements or provisions shall be read together and harmonized to the fullest extent possible; in the event of any conflict or ambiguity, all doubts shall be resolved in favor of arbitration of the claim.
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of the license granted by Holder and/or any Accompanying Party’s/Parties’ purchase and/or use of the ticket, any death, incapacity, sale or assignment, and/or Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s/Parties’ or the Club’s bankruptcy or insolvency (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Club and Holder agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any claim or dispute will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and neither the Club nor the Holder may seek to have any dispute heard as a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action, or mass arbitration. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties without the express written consent of all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties retain the right to participate in a mass settlement of claims, including a class-wide settlement.
Applicability of Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provisions. If minor(s) and/or other Accompanying Party/Parties attend the event with Holder, Holder is deemed to have given all of the foregoing grants of rights, releases and waivers on behalf of: (a) such minor(s), and/or legally incapacitated adult, as their parent or guardian or as the authorized agent of their parent or guardian; and/or (b) such other Accompanying Party/Parties, as their authorized agent. If Holder does not wish to or is not authorized to grant such rights, releases and waivers on behalf of such minor(s) or any other Accompanying Party, Holder should not attend and/or immediately leave the host venue with those minor(s) and/or any Accompanying Party..
HOLDER AND/OR ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY/PARTIES HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, BUT HOLDER AND/OR ANY ACCOMPANYING PARTY/PARTIES MUST EXERCISE THIS RIGHT PROMPTLY AS SET FORTH BELOW. If Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties do not wish to be bound by this Arbitration Agreement, Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties must notify the Club in writing within sixty (60) days after the date Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties agree to these Terms and Conditions. Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties must send their request to: Washington Nationals Baseball Club, LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 1500 South Capitol Street, SE, Washington, DC 20003. The request must include Holder’s and/or any Accompanying Party’s/Parties’ full name, address, account number, and the statement “I reject the Arbitration Agreement contained in The Washington Nationals 2026 Ticket Terms and Conditions.” If Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties exercise their right to reject arbitration, the other terms of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and effect as if Holder and/or any Accompanying Party/Parties had not rejected arbitration.
Exceptions. This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver shall be subject to the following limited exceptions:
- If a claim is within the jurisdiction of small claims court, either of the parties may (instead of arbitration) choose to take the claim to small claims court in Washington, D.C.; however, if the dispute is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, either party may elect to compel arbitration.
- The updated Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver do not apply to any disputes or claims already filed and currently pending as of November 6, 2026. For all such matters pending as of November 6, 2026, this updated Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver will not alter the rights and obligations that currently exist in and apply to those matters, such that those matters may or may not be subject to arbitration, and if the former, will remain governed by any applicable arbitration agreement, class action waiver, or other agreements that currently exist between the parties in those matters.
The terms of the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver contained in this Section will also apply to any claims asserted against any present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated company or individual of the Club, including but not limited to MLB Entities, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate in any way to (i) these Terms and Conditions, (ii) this ticket, including without limitation use of and purchase of this ticket, (iii) the Club’s advertisements and/or marketing communications, (iv) use of the Official Washington Nationals Website, and (v) any related dealings or relationship between the Club and Holder and/or Accompanying Party/Parties.
- AMENDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
From time to time, the Club may update these Terms and Conditions and other policies. Any changes the Club makes will only be binding on You if and when You agree to the updated Terms. The Effective Date above will tell You when the Terms were last revised. To the extent that these Terms have been updated from a prior version of the Terms to which You previously agreed, the most recent version of the Terms to which You agreed governs.
By purchasing Nationals tickets after any changes to the Terms are posted, You are indicating Your acceptance of any changes that may have occurred to the Terms. It is therefore Your responsibility to check these Terms and Conditions each time You use the Official Washington Nationals Website or purchase Nationals tickets, so that You can take note of any amendments to the Terms that the Club may make.
- SEVERABILITY
If any part of these Terms is not valid or enforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable, meaning it will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions.
