conditions which may be put in place by an ATR and the Terms and Conditions outlined in this
document, the latter shall prevail. All Tickets, regardless of from whom they were obtained or
purchased, are issued subject to the Rio 2016 Ticket License Agreement and Spectator Policy.

or does not intend to adhere to any purchase rules or restrictions put in place by the ATR. An ATR

price from Brazilian Reais to the local currency using the rates published by the Central Bank of
Brazil on the SISBACEN system. Any and all bank or other charges incurred as a result of the payment
with a payment card or currency conversion will be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser.
