There will be no refunds or name transfers after purchase. If you buy more than the two wristbands permitted, you will not be able to give or sell them to other people.

You will be sent a confirmation email which will include instructions for picking up your wristband. You must bring a valid form of photo ID to redeem your wristband. Your wristband will be placed on your wrist at time of pick up.
