Should you do so, your tickets are subject to immediate cancelation. We may, in our sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts on which such chargebacks have been made and may prohibit future purchases from all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and from any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the Site.
