Ticket Donation Terms

Donation Agreement

By submitting tickets through The Legacy Foundation's Seat Forward program, you agree to these terms and conditions. These terms govern the donation, transfer, and use of event ticket rights for the benefit of young people, veterans and military families, and families facing hardship. A submission is a request for review; the Foundation may accept, decline, return, or place a ticket after review. The donation becomes accepted when the Foundation receives and verifies the transferable ticket rights or otherwise confirms acceptance in writing.

Donor Representations

By submitting a ticket donation, you represent and warrant that:

• You own or control the tickets and have full authority to donate and transfer them
• The tickets are valid and have not been previously transferred, sold, or claimed
• The tickets are not counterfeit, stolen, or obtained fraudulently
• Donating the tickets does not violate the ticket issuer's terms, venue rules, your employer's policies, any sponsor restrictions, any league or team restrictions, any transferability or resale restrictions, or applicable law
• You are donating the tickets charitably and are not acting as a commercial ticket broker
• The information you provide is accurate and complete
• You will not use, duplicate, sell, transfer, or separately claim the tickets after submitting or transferring them to the Foundation

Transfer of Tickets

Upon successful transfer and acceptance, all transferable rights to the donated tickets transfer to The Legacy Foundation. Tickets cannot be returned once accepted except at the Foundation's discretion. You must not use, duplicate, separately transfer, or claim the tickets after transfer. The ticket issuer, venue, promoter, league, and event-specific rules control admission and ticket validity; the Foundation does not guarantee admission, a particular seat, or that an event will occur. You authorize us to put each donated seat to its highest-impact charitable use under the Seat Use Waterfall described below.

Seat Use Waterfall

Every donated seat is handled in the following priority order: (1) Placed — offered, through vetted partner organizations, to a young person, veteran, or family; (2) Mission-directed placement — directed to a recipient or charitable partner where appropriate; (3) Charitable monetization — where direct placement is not reasonably available, or where the Foundation determines in good faith that monetization would create greater charitable impact, the donated ticket may be sold through lawful channels with 100% of net proceeds applied to the Foundation's charitable purposes; and (4) Acknowledged — you receive a written acknowledgment and, where applicable, an impact update. The Foundation may allow a ticket to expire where no lawful or practical charitable use is available.

Charitable Monetization Authorization & Disclosure

By agreeing to these Terms, you authorize The Legacy Foundation, in its charitable discretion, to use donated tickets for the greatest charitable impact. If direct placement is not practical, or if another lawful use would create greater charitable impact, the Foundation may transfer or sell the tickets through lawful channels and apply 100% of the net proceeds to its charitable purposes. "Net proceeds" means the amount actually received by the Foundation after direct transaction costs, including platform fees, payment-processing fees, transfer or delivery costs, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, and other direct costs of the transaction. Any sale remains subject to applicable law and to the transfer, resale, charitable-use, and platform restrictions governing the ticket. The Foundation is not a ticket broker and does not purchase tickets for speculative resale. The donor will not receive sale proceeds or control the purchaser. The Foundation will maintain records of gross proceeds, direct transaction costs, net proceeds, transferability review, and the charitable program or account receiving the net proceeds.

Unsuitable or Restricted Tickets

If a ticket is nontransferable, subject to resale restrictions, issued under a special contractual arrangement, duplicated, expired, invalid, or otherwise unsuitable for transfer or charitable monetization, The Legacy Foundation may decline the donation, return the ticket if feasible, secure or disable the ticket where necessary to protect recipients, place it without monetization, or allow it to expire. The Foundation conducts a transferability review before any donated ticket is monetized.

Tax Deductibility

Ticket donations may qualify as noncash charitable contributions only to the extent permitted by federal and applicable state tax law. Some ticket donors may have no deductible amount, including where the donor has no tax basis or where special basis, inventory, ordinary-income-property, employer, or complimentary-ticket rules apply. The donor—not the Foundation—is responsible for determining the donor's basis, fair market value, deductible amount, appraisal requirements, filing obligations, and tax treatment. The Foundation does not value donated tickets and does not provide tax advice. A donor claiming more than $500 in noncash charitable deductions generally must file IRS Form 8283. A donor claiming more than $5,000 for an item or group of similar items generally must obtain a qualified appraisal and complete Form 8283, Section B, subject to applicable exceptions. The Foundation's signature on a properly completed Form 8283 acknowledges receipt of the described property and does not agree with the donor's value. If the Foundation is required to file Form 8282 after a disposition, it will do so and provide the donor a copy within the legally required period. Distribution of donated property without consideration for charitable purposes may qualify for an exception from Form 8282 reporting. Donors should consult a qualified tax adviser.

Acknowledgment

After the Foundation accepts a valid ticket donation, it will provide a written acknowledgment identifying the Foundation, the donation date, and a description of the donated ticket rights, without assigning a value. The acknowledgment will state whether the Foundation provided any goods or services in exchange. Acknowledgment, placement, disposition, Form 8283 assistance, any Form 8282 notice, and any optional impact update are separate steps. The Foundation does not promise a tax deduction, placement, sale, purchaser, recipient, event outcome, or impact report.

Limitations

We accept ticket donations in good faith but cannot guarantee that all donated tickets will be placed or used. We are not the event organizer, venue, ticket issuer, promoter, league, or transportation provider. We are not responsible for event cancellations, changes, admission decisions, ticketing-platform failures, travel, or other third-party acts or omissions. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Electronic communications and records

By checking the acceptance box and submitting the donation, you intend to sign these Terms electronically and agree to receive program records and communications electronically at the address you provide. You may download or print these Terms and may request a paper copy by contacting the Foundation. The Foundation may rely on its electronic records of the accepted Terms version, acceptance time, account or contact information, transfer evidence, content snapshot and hash, and related communications. Withdrawal of consent to future electronic delivery does not invalidate records or transactions completed before the withdrawal becomes effective.

Privacy, recognition, and impact stories

We handle donor information under our Privacy Policy. Public recognition, donor names, photographs, testimonials, and impact stories are separate permissions and are not goods or services provided in exchange for the donation. You may choose anonymous recognition where offered. We do not provide recipient-identifying information unless a separate lawful and consented process permits it.

Updates and general contract terms

These terms apply to the donation and supersede prior statements about the same donation. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. A waiver must be explicit and written. We may update these terms for future donations; the version accepted at submission governs that donation unless applicable law requires otherwise. The Foundation may assign its rights in connection with a successor or charitable program transition; you may not assign your donor obligations without written consent.

Governing law and forum

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any non-waivable right or jurisdictional rule, any action arising from these Terms must be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and each party consents to that jurisdiction and venue. Nothing in these Terms limits a right that cannot lawfully be waived.

Misconduct and limited remedies

The Foundation may reject or revoke acceptance, cancel a transfer, report suspected fraud, and seek recovery of direct losses caused by a donor's knowing fraud, intentional misuse, or willful breach of the donor's authority and duplicate-use representations. This provision does not make the donor responsible for the Foundation's negligence or for ordinary event risk.
