It is your responsibility to regularly review the Terms for changes, as they are binding upon your continued use of the services.
d. Modification of Terms: You are not permitted to modify the Terms unless there is a written agreement signed by both you and us. For the purposes of these Terms, "writing" does not include emails or electronic/facsimile signatures, which will not be considered valid modifications.

We reserve the right to nullify any participation that violates these rules.
h. Merchandise Restrictions: You are not allowed to sell, trade for value, attempt to sell or trade for value, or accept as a sale or trade for value any merchandise provided to you by us.

b. Billing Procedures: As an agent for our developer partners, we may change Fees and billing procedures by updating the billing application, with or without notice to you.

c. Cash Deposits: If you play games in a competition without depositing US Dollars into your account for that competition, you are a "Non-Cash Player" for that competition. However, if you participate in a competition that requires a US Dollar entry fee ("Cash Competition"), you are a "Cash Player." You must provide and maintain current and correct information to participate in Cash Competitions.

You are responsible for understanding the laws and regulations in your jurisdiction and ensuring that your activities on the Platform do not violate them.

If the information you provided becomes inaccurate, misleading, or false at any point during your participation in any competition or service, you must promptly notify us of the change. Providing false information could lead to your account being suspended or terminated.
c. Content Removal: We may, at our discretion, remove any User Content without notice, but we are not obligated to do so. We are not responsible for the conduct of users or the content they submit. We do not monitor for inappropriate content, and your use of the service is at your own risk. However, we do reserve the right to review and remove content that violates our Terms or any applicable laws or regulations.

License to Use User Content: You grant us a non-revocable, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate your User Content into other works in any form or media. This includes the right to adapt, distribute, and publicly display the content as part of our services.
e. Rights to Name and Likeness: You also give us the unconditional right to use your name, likeness, and other information in User Content without liability to you. This includes any personal data or other identifiable information that may be part of your content. You waive any attribution and moral rights to your User Content, except where prohibited by law.
f. Risk of User Content: You acknowledge that all User Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is at your own risk. We are not responsible for backing up or retaining User Content.

8. Miscellaneous
Governing Law: This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, United States. When applying these laws, we will not consider any conflict-of-law principles that could lead to the application of a different jurisdiction's laws. This ensures a consistent and predictable legal framework for both you and us when dealing with any matters related to these Terms and Conditions. By agreeing to these Terms, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Nevada.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Mandatory Arbitration: Any disagreement, controversy, or claim that arises from or is related to this Agreement, including issues about its formation, interpretation, whether it has been breached, its termination, or its overall validity, must be resolved through binding arbitration. This arbitration will be managed by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") following its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration offers a more efficient, cost-effective, and less formal method of dispute resolution compared to traditional court proceedings.
Arbitration Venue and Rules: The arbitration will take place within the United States. Unless both you and we agree otherwise, the entire arbitration process will be conducted in the English language. The case will be heard and decided by a single arbitrator, who will be selected in line with the AAA's established rules. These rules are designed to ensure fairness, objectivity, and transparency in the arbitration process.
Waiver of Class Actions: To the greatest extent allowed by law, all disputes will be resolved on an individual basis. Neither you nor we can bring a claim against the other as a plaintiff or a member of a class in any purported class, collective, or representative legal proceeding. This means that you cannot join together with other users to sue us as a group, and we cannot take similar actions against you in a group-based claim. This waiver is essential to ensure the timely and fair resolution of claims.
Final and Binding Decision: The decision made by the arbitrator will be final and legally binding on both you and us. Once the arbitrator reaches a conclusion, a judgment based on the arbitration award can be entered in any court that has the authority to oversee the matter. This gives the arbitration decision the same enforceability as a court judgment, ensuring that both parties uphold the final ruling.
Entire Agreement: These Terms and Conditions represent the complete agreement between you and us regarding your participation in our services. Except in cases of fraud, they replace all previous or concurrent communications and proposals, whether they were made electronically, orally, or in writing, related to your use of our services. This ensures that all the terms and conditions governing our relationship are clearly defined in one document, which serves as the final and authoritative reference point.
Intellectual Property: Using the Game does not grant you any ownership rights over its intellectual property. This includes but is not limited to game titles, source and object code, game client and server software, the unique "look and feel" of the game, sounds, musical compositions, audiovisual effects, operational concepts and methods, layouts, text, data, user accounts, themes, in-game objects, characters, their portraits, names, and biographical information, as well as stories, dialogues, catchphrases, locations, artwork, animation files, images, graphics, files, game histories, game records, and chat room records. All of these elements, along with any associated moral rights (whether registered or not), are owned by us or third-party providers of the game.
Taxes: You are solely responsible for any taxes that are applicable to the Prizes you receive from your participation. It is your obligation to determine what taxes are due and to ensure that you comply with all relevant tax laws and regulations when receiving and dealing with your winnings. We will not be held responsible for any tax-related obligations or penalties that arise from your participation.
Force Majeure: We will not be held responsible or liable for any failure or delay in fulfilling our obligations under these Terms if it is caused by events that are beyond our reasonable control. Such events could include natural disasters, acts of terrorism, government regulations, or other unforeseen circumstances that prevent us from operating as normal. If such events occur, we will make reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption caused to our users, but we will not be held liable for any resulting damages or losses.
Severability: If, for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of these Terms, or part of a provision, is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, that specific part will be considered separate from the rest. The validity and enforceability of the remaining parts of the Terms will not be affected, and the Terms will continue to be in full force and effect as much as possible.
Assignment: These Terms are personal to you and cannot be assigned, transferred, or sublicensed by you without our prior written consent. However, we reserve the right to assign, transfer, or delegate any of our rights and obligations to a third party without notifying you. This allows us the flexibility to manage our business operations, such as in the case of a business transfer, partnership, or acquisition.
Business Transfers: In the event of a change of control, merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets, your user account and related data may be included as part of the assets transferred to the purchaser or acquirer. This means that your account information may be transferred to another entity as part of a business transaction, but your rights and obligations under these Terms will generally remain the same, and the new entity will honor the existing Terms.
Waiver: If we do not claim that you have breached these Terms or fail to exercise any of our rights under these Terms in a particular situation, this does not mean that we have waived our rights. We can still enforce these rights in the future if the need arises.
