These Terms govern your access to and use of our website (oydlive.com), marketing communications, event registration forms, and any other services offered through this website. These Terms do not govern the purchase of tickets, which is handled separately by third-party ticketing platforms (see Section 6).

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and post notice on our website. Your continued use of our services following such notice constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

3. Privacy Policy

Your use of our services is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information, including how information is shared with LECOM Event Center and third-party service providers.

6. Ticket Purchases & Third-Party Platforms

OYD Live does not sell or process ticket transactions directly through this website. Tickets for events at LECOM Event Center are sold exclusively through authorized third-party ticketing platforms (such as Ticketmaster). When you purchase a ticket, you are entering into a transaction with that third-party platform, not with OYD Live or LECOM Event Center.

All ticket purchases are subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the applicable third-party ticketing platform. OYD Live is not responsible for any issues arising from ticket transactions conducted through those platforms, including but not limited to:

  • Order confirmation, processing errors, or cancellation by the platform
  • Refund or exchange eligibility
  • Ticket transferability or resale restrictions
  • Pricing errors or service fees charged by the platform

For questions about a specific ticket purchase, please contact the ticketing platform through which you purchased directly.

7. Force Majeure & Event Cancellation

OYD Live and LECOM Event Center shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations, or for any cancellation, postponement, or material change to a scheduled event, caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Acts of God, natural disasters, severe weather, fire, flood, or earthquake
  • Epidemic, pandemic, public health emergency, or government-mandated health orders
  • Government orders, regulations, or actions, including venue closure orders
  • Labor disputes, strikes, or civil unrest
  • Failure of essential utilities or infrastructure (power, HVAC, water)
  • Acts of war, terrorism, or other force majeure events

In the event that a show or event is cancelled or postponed due to the above circumstances, your remedy for any ticket purchases will be governed by the refund and exchange policies of the ticketing platform through which you purchased. OYD Live will communicate event status updates through our website and, where possible, via email or SMS to registered attendees.

  • Prohibited items: Items that pose a safety risk or are otherwise prohibited by venue policy are not permitted; specific prohibited item lists are posted at the venue and may be communicated in advance of events
  • Code of conduct: Guests are expected to conduct themselves in a lawful and respectful manner; disruptive, threatening, or harassing behavior may result in removal from the venue

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of our website or services shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Chemung County, New York, or, at your election, may be conducted virtually or by telephone.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
