All sales and debits are non-refundable once the order is accepted by the Herd. You understand that, at the Herd’s sole discretion, your access to Herd games may be restricted or revoked if any authorized charge is refused or unable to be processed for any other reason.

You further acknowledge and agree that it is solely your responsibility to update any credit card information used as a payment method. It is also your responsibility to notify the Herd in writing of any change of address or email address to assure prompt delivery of tickets, notices and other dated material from the Herd. You understand that any payment authorization remains in force and effect until the Herd has received written notification of its termination in such time and manner as to allow the Herd a reasonable opportunity to act on it.
