2. Admission to the Ground

2.1 All persons (including children) must have a valid card or ticket when entering the Ground. The Club will not allow children (or any other person) to be carried through the turnstiles without a valid card or ticket for the relevant Match.

Entry into the Ground is confirmation that all persons have consented to such use of their image unless the Club is notified in writing to the contrary. In entering the Ground with a person aged under 16, the person accompanying such young person confirms that they have the requisite authority to consent, and does consent, to the provisions of this clause 2.4 on the young person’s behalf. Without prejudice to the consents given in accordance with this clause, if any images should feature an individual prominently the Club will make reasonable efforts to gain the consent of that person before publishing such image.

For the avoidance of doubt this clause shall not prevent the lawful distribution of text publications (e.g. fanzines) in any format where both the content and the publication are lawful in all respects and do not in the Club’s reasonable opinion constitute a threat or potential threat to public order.

2.9 Without prejudice to the representation at clause 1.2 above, and in light of the Home Match Ticket holders being grouped together in designated areas, where any attempt is made by a Home Match ticket holder to gain access to the Ground wearing or carrying apparel (including, without limitation, hats and/or scarves) that demonstrates support for the Visiting Club, the Club reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to refuse admission to or eject from the Ground any person, and in such circumstances no refund or alternative seat will be made.

2.10 Without prejudice to any other remedies it may have, the Club shall have the right to refuse admission to the Ground to any person holding a Home Match Ticket, or to suspend or eject any person from the Ground, on any occasion, including where (by way of non-limiting examples):

3.4 You must remain in your allocated seat for the duration of the Match, and may not change places with any other person, or occupy any other seat unless you are directed to do so by a steward or Club official.

4 Use of Home Match Ticket

4.1 You agree that at all times you shall:

(a) behave in a proper and lawful manner while in attendance at the Ground, and not cause any nuisance, annoyance or inconvenience to the Club or any other person (including any other spectators or local residents) or to render void or voidable, in part or whole, any insurance maintained by the Club in respect of the Ground; 

(b) not cause damage to the Ground (fair wear and tear excepted); and

(c) comply with all of the rules and regulations imposed by the Club from time to time in respect of admission and attendance, including, without limitation, the Ground Regulations and any virus prevention requirements.

For the purposes of this provision, a reference to selling the Home Match Ticket includes offering to sell a home Match Ticket (including, without limitation, via any online auction website), exposing a home Match Ticket for sale, making a home Match Ticket available for sale by another and advertising that a home Match Ticket is available for purchase.

4.3 The Home Match Ticket may not be offered as a prize in any promotion or competition or transferred, lent or sold to any third party as part of a hospitality or travel package, given to a third party who agrees to buy another good or service or used for any other commercial purpose without the prior written consent of the Club.

4.4 If more than one Home Match Ticket is issued to you, one Home Match Ticket must be retained by you for your personal use (subject to the provisions below) and the remainder may be transferred to your Guest(s) for his/her personal use only, PROVIDED THAT:

(a) such transfer takes place in consideration of no payment or benefit in excess of the face value of the Home Match Ticket;

(b) such transfer does not take place in the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party’s business;

(c) such transfer to any Guest(s) will be subject to the Ground Regulations and these Conditions of Issue which will (save for any rights to transfer under this clause or any rights to a refund under section 8) apply to the Guest(s) as if he/she were the original purchaser of the Home Match Ticket (you must inform the Guest(s) of this); and

(d) you will provide the name and address of your Guest(s) when asked to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club and/or any police officer.

4.5 In the event that you and/or your Guest are unable to use any Home Match Ticket then you may transfer that Home Match Ticket(s) to a natural person who is known to you personally and who would be entitled (under the Ground Regulations and otherwise) to purchase such Home Match Ticket and attend such Match PROVIDED THAT:

(b) such transfer does not take place in the course of any business or for the purpose of facilitating any third party’s business;

(d) you will provide the name and address of the transferee when asked to do so by any official, steward or employee of the Club or any police officer.

4.6 The unauthorised sale or disposal of a home Match Ticket may amount to a criminal offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, as amended by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. The Club may inform the police when it becomes aware that a home Match Ticket has been sold illegally and may press for charges to be brought against those breaking this law. If you are convicted of a ticket touting offence, or we reasonably suspect you to have committed such an offence, we will notify the relevant Football Authority who may in turn notify other Clubs and/or the relevant law enforcement authorities. The information that we share for this purpose may include your personal details, information about the offence and about ticket purchases (including payment details). We will use this to identify and prevent ticket touting offences and disorder at Matches.

4.7 Any Home Match Ticket obtained or used in breach of the Ground Regulations or these Conditions of Issue shall be automatically void and all rights conferred or evidenced by such Home Match Ticket shall be nullified. Misuse of a Home Match Ticket may result in the holder being refused entry to, or ejected from the Ground in respect of a particular Match and/or the cancellation and withdrawal of this Home Match Ticket. In the event of any cancellation and withdrawal in accordance with this clause 4.7, no refund shall be payable. The Club further reserves its right to take any legal or disciplinary action against any person(s) as it sees fit in connection with such matters, including a claim for an account of profits made from an unauthorised use of the Home Match Ticket.

4.8 If you act, or incite others to act, in such a way so as to cause the bringing of disciplinary action against the Club by the Football Authority or any other properly authorised regulatory body, you and those acting in concert with you shall be jointly and severally liable to the Club for any loss the Club thereby suffers. Similarly, you and those acting in concert with you shall also be jointly and severally liable to the Club for any loss the Club suffers as a result of the behaviour of a third party gaining access to a Match using your ticket with your permission or through any act or omission on your part.

4.9 If you are aged 16 years old or under, your parent(s) and/or guardian(s) are also responsible for your actions, conduct and compliance with these Conditions, and may be subject to liability, sanction or penalty as a consequence of your conduct, as determined at the Club’s sole discretion.

If we discover an error in the price or nature of the ticket you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible, and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price/specification or cancelling it. If you opt to cancel your order in these circumstances we will provide you with a full refund including booking fees but not including any other loss you have incurred such as travel, accommodation or loss of amenity.

Similarly, you and those acting in concert with you shall also be jointly and severally liable to the Club for any loss the Club suffers as a result of the behaviour of a third party gaining access to a Match using your ticket with your permission or through any act or omission on your part.

The Club may inform the police when it becomes aware that an Away Match Ticket has been sold illegally and may press for charges to be brought against those breaking this law. If you are convicted of a ticket touting offence, or we reasonably suspect you to have committed such an offence, we will notify the relevant football authority who may in turn notify other Clubs and/or the relevant law enforcement authorities. The information that we share may include your personal details, information about the offence and about ticket purchases (including payment details). We will use this to identify and prevent ticket touting offences and disorder at matches.

If we discover an error in the price or nature of the ticket you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible, and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price/specification or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will unfortunately have to treat the order as cancelled.

When and where live video of first team matches are available

-For first team footage shown on a live basis (certain geographical territories only) not all Club matches will be available for viewing on a ‘live’ basis. This is due to, amongst other things, restrictions with television broadcasters. Any game which is selected for live TV broadcast by an EFL partner broadcaster, whether in the UK or internationally, cannot be shown via this service. Games which are not selected for TV broadcast can be viewed in international territories outside the UK and Ireland. Games which are not selected for TV broadcast and do not kick off between 12.45pm and 5.15pm on a Saturday, or overlap in any way with these hours, can be shown in the domestic market (UK and Ireland) via this service. With this changes to your located territory may affect content access.

Wifi should be used over mobile data

-In order to access and use our service, you will need to provide all necessary equipment including a computer and network/telephone connection. Access to the internet with you being responsible for any service fees associated with such access on both wifi or mobile data. You will require a WIFI or broadband internet connection (DSL/cable or higher) with a minimum download speed of at least 1.2mbps with latency not exceeding 100ms for SD video and 4mbps with latency not exceeding 50ms for HD video. Quality and accessibility of live video streaming on GPRS, 3G or LTE can not be guaranteed. 4G may provide a good viewing experience, but may incur costs associated with its use as well geo-blocking issues if using a UK or Ireland network provider abroad.

Auto-renewal

-This section does not apply to any single match or other express pay per view arrangement. Your subscription is for the Subscription Period and will, unless we notify you otherwise, be automatically renewed at the end of the previous Subscription Period for a further equivalent period. We will not normally send you reminders of renewal, unless there are changes in your renewal period you need to be aware of (see changes and updates section). You can unsubscribe from FGR Live with effect from the end of your monthly Subscription Period (or relevant renewal month) by contacting us at fgrtv@streamamg.com not less than 5 days prior to the date of renewal. Your subscription will continue until the end of the month in which you notify us in accordance with this section and you will continue to be charged for that month. Unless you have opted to unsubscribe from FGR Live not less than 5 days prior to the date of renewal your subscription will be automatically renewed. You will be deemed to have accepted the renewal on the terms and basis set out in the reminder (or, for monthly subscriptions where we have not notified you in advance of changes, on the same terms as your previous subscription). You will be charged in accordance with the same timings as under the payment plan applicable to your immediately preceding Subscription Period, unless otherwise notified to you as part of any reminder above. If you have unsubscribed from FGR Live rather than renewing and you previously paid by direct debit, you are responsible for ensuring that you cancel your direct debit through your bank in order to prevent any future payments being taken by us. Save for returning payments received by us in error on request from you, we will not accept any liability for payments taken from your bank account as a result of your failure to cancel the direct debit instruction at your bank, including (for example only) interests charges and other fees.

-By submitting your order you have opted to receive your subscription benefits immediately and waived your right to cancel. You will not therefore be entitled to cancel the contract or have any fourteen (14) day ‘cooling off’ period in law, nor receive a refund of the Fee. This does not affect any other rights you may have at law, including where we are at fault. See auto renewal section above regarding cancellation after any automatic renewal.

You may cancel your subscription for the services by logging in and going to the My Account page and clicking on the “Cancel” button. You may cancel your subscription to the services at any time prior to the expiry of your subscription period, but you will continue to have access to the services for the duration of your subscription period. We do not refund any subscription fees paid in case of your cancellation or cancellations that take place after the fourteen day cooling off period.

First team cup games are not available to watch via live video

-Due to EFL and FA broadcasting regulations only first team league matches will be streamed via live video, with varying geographical broadcast restrictions on these matches. Both FA Cup and League Cup matches are not eligible for UK & Ireland or International fans. However live audio commentary will still be available for all cup games for all our fans worldwide.

No refund for not a lot games broadcast in a subscription period

-If you are on a monthly or yearly package, it is an accepted risk when purchasing that some months will have more live fixtures than others, so no refund will be given in those cases. As this is out of our control due to EFL regulations and broadcast rights we can not change this stance and we also do not increase costs in months that have lots of games which is an accepted risk by the club too. This balances out across this season – some months will few games where others will have more, however the price will remain the same throughout a season.

No refund for ignored customer service/lack of attempts of troubleshooting the issue

-As stated previously all live video technical issues and refund requests for a certain game must emailed to fgrtv@streamamg.com during the match in question. Furthermore refunds will only be offered if you have proved to use our troubleshooting advice and support. If you do not take the time troubleshoot, ignore emails and only request a refund without trying to fix the issue with our support team no refund will be issued.
