8. Winnings, Account Funds, And Payments

8.1. Fees. Fees and payments for Services that you pay to participate in Competitions (“Fees”) and billing procedures are detailed in the billing application. If Fees are charged to your Account, you agree to pay those Fees. All Fees are stated in U.S. Dollars, must be prepaid and are non-refundable. You are fully responsible and liable for all charges, deposits and withdrawals made under your Account, including any unauthorized charges, deposits or withdrawals. The price of Services may change at any time, but no price change will affect your past purchases.

8.2. Billing. We may change Fees and billing procedures by updating the billing application with or without notice to you. By providing a payment method, you (i) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; (ii) authorize us to charge you for the Services using your payment method; and (iii) authorize us to charge you for any paid feature of the Services that you choose to sign up for. We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; or (c) shortly after purchase, in our sole discretion. You must tell us within 120 days after an error first appears on your bill for an investigation of the charge to occur promptly. After 120 days from the first appearance of the error, we (i) will not be liable for any losses resulting from the error and (ii) will not be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If we identify a billing error, it will be corrected within 90 days. You must pay for all reasonable costs we incur to collect any past due amounts, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and costs.

8.3. Payment Agents. You acknowledge and agree that we may, from time to time and without notice, appoint one or more Payment Agents to process or make payments from or to You on our behalf. If you resident in the US, your payment may be processed by Innovation Casualty. You agree that we and/or our Payment Agents and payments facilitators may store your payment information (e.g., card number or token) to process your future purchases. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you authorize us and/or our Payment Agents and payments facilitators to store your payment credentials in compliance with applicable payment processing regulations.

8.4. Cash Deposits. If you play games integrated in a Competition without depositing U.S. Dollars into your Account for that Competition, then you are a “Non-Cash Player” with respect to such Competition. However, if you play in a Competition that requires an entry fee paid in U.S. Dollars (“Cash Competition”), then you are a “Cash Player”, and if you establish a positive Account balance for entry fees for Cash Competitions, then you must submit and maintain at all times the following current and correct information: your full name, your permanent residential address, your phone number and your credit card or other payment information. Participating in Cash Competitions may require establishing a positive Account balance in any amount we determine. If you are a Cash Player, by submitting this information, you consent to allowing us to share your personal and payment information in confidence with third party service providers for the purposes of validating your identity and assessing the transaction risk associated with accepting your selected method of payment, and for any other purpose as detailed in our Privacy Policy. If you make a credit card deposit, an authorization request will be submitted to the issuing bank of at least Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00) to your credit limit, even if the actual amount charged may be lower. When you withdraw funds from your account, you may be required to submit your social security number or other identifying information. Failure to provide your social security number or other requested identifying information at that time may result in inability to process your withdrawal for any winnings.

8.5. Bonus Funds. If you are a Cash Player, then you may be granted bonus funds and/or credits (“Bonus Funds”). Bonus Funds can be used to enter Cash Competitions, but cannot be withdrawn for “real world” money, goods, or any other item of monetary value from us or any other party. You could not purchase real cash or bonus funds through any other websites.When you enter a Cash Competition, US $0.01 (one U.S. cent) of Bonus Funds will be used to enter the competition for every US $0.10 (ten U.S. cents) spent on the Cash Competition entry fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional Bonus Funds will be used to enter Cash Competitions if Bonus Funds are the only currency available in your account. When you win a Cash Competition, any Bonus Funds that you have used to pay the entry fee will be returned to you and any additional winnings beyond your entry fee will be paid in U.S. Dollars. If you initiate a withdrawal of funds from your Account, you will forfeit all Bonus Funds currently in your Account. If you do not enter a Cash Competition within a continuous 60-day time period, all Bonus Funds in your account will be forfeited.

8.6. Withdrawals. If you are a Cash Player, you may request a withdrawal of funds from your available Account balance at any time. Digital Assets and Bonus Funds cannot be withdrawn. Processing of requested funds is made by check or by refund to the payment method used to make your deposit and may take up to ninety (90) days; provided, however, that we may freeze your Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected Abuse, verification of eligibility or to comply with Applicable Laws. A check request processing fee of up to $2.00 for any withdrawal of less than $10.00 may be assessed.

8.7. Closing Accounts; Forfeiture of Funds. If you close your Account, funds in your Account will be returned subject to the terms of Section 8.6. If your Account is unilaterally closed or terminated for cause as allowed in these Terms, funds in your Account may be forfeited and not returned to you. If your funds are forfeited by you in accordance with this Section or Sections 8.10 hereof, these funds may be used to defray the costs of administration and enforcement of these Terms, allocated or disbursed such amounts to other Services or donated these funds.

8.8. Account Monthly Maintenance Fee. If your Account is inactive (i.e. you have not entered at least one (1) tournament) for six (6) consecutive months or more, a maintenance fee of $2.00 per month may be charged (the “Monthly Maintenance Fee”). After five or more months of inactivity you will be notified by email that if your Account remains inactive for one more month, the Monthly Maintenance Fee will be deducted from your Account each consecutive month after that that it remains inactive. The Monthly Maintenance Fee will not be deducted from your Account if there are no funds in your Account. However, if your Account has no funds and has been inactive for twelve or more consecutive months, your Account may be closed. Before your count is closed, you will receive an email for reminder (if we have your correct email address) or another form of written message (e.g., an in-App message).

8.9. Refund Policy. To the maximum extent allowed by applicable laws, no refund is given.

8.10. Winnings. If you are eligible to receive Winnings, in our capacity, we may require that you provide proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation in the subject Competition, eligible to participate in accordance with these Terms and that your participation was in accordance with these Terms. If you do not provide such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, then you will not receive the relevant Winnings. If you receive a payment in error, we may reverse or require return of the payment. You agree to cooperate with our efforts to do this. We may also reduce payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.

8.11. Credit Card Use. When you pay for any charges by credit card, you represent to us that you are the authorized user of such credit card. You must promptly notify us of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, or if your credit card expires or is canceled for any reason.

Any attempt to defraud through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment, regardless of the outcome, or any failure by you to honor legitimate charges or requests for payment, will result in immediate termination of your Account, forfeiture of Winnings, and pursuit of civil litigation and/or criminal prosecution.

8.12. Taxes. You are solely responsible for recording, paying, and accounting to any relevant, governmental, taxation, or other authority for any tax or other levy that may be payable on any winnings paid to you in your jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, we may withhold from your existing Account balance and/or from future Winnings any amount required to be withheld by Applicable Laws in your jurisdictions, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation, but you remain solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE (OR INABILITY TO USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE), Innovation Casualty, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR: (I) ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR OTHER DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR DATA) EVEN IF SUCH PERSONS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR (II) ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID Innovation Casualty IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO SUBMITTING NOTICE OF YOUR CLAIM OR, IF GREATER, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US$100).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

THE INDEMNITY, RELEASE, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REPRESENT A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR Innovation Casualty TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

No Liability for Third-Party Websites and Services. The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links or other access to third-party websites and resources on the Internet. Innovation Casualty provides such links and connections for Your reference only. Innovation Casualty has no control over such websites and resources, and Innovation Casualty is not responsible for and does not endorse such websites and resources. You further acknowledge and agree that Innovation Casualty will not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damages or losses caused or alleged to be caused by Your reliance on any content, events, goods, or services available on any such websites or resources. All dealings You have with third parties found while using the Service are between You and the third party, and You agree that Innovation Casualty is not liable for any loss or claim that You may have against such third party. You should review any applicable third-party terms and conditions, including third-party privacy policies, carefully as those terms may apply to Your use of third-party websites and recourses.

 

12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

12.1 Prohibited US States/Countries. You acknowledge that various rules, regulations and laws addressing contests, and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes govern your participation in Competitions (“Gaming Laws”), and that Gaming Laws are set up by each individual US state, country, territory, or jurisdiction. Therefore, the Software DOES NOT permit Cash Competitions (as defined in section 8.4) to be offered to users participating in Competitions in any state in which such Competition violates its Gaming Laws (“Prohibited Jurisdiction”), and if you are located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction then you may not participate in Cash Competitions. In the United States, Prohibited Jurisdictions, as of the “Updated” date above, include: Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. For card games, Prohibited Jurisdictions include Maine and Indiana. It is your responsibility to determine whether the state, country, territory or jurisdiction in which you are located is a Prohibited Jurisdiction. Together with our company developers, we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor the location from which you access Services, and on behalf of our developer partners, we may block access from any Prohibited Jurisdiction. Each time you log in to participate in a Cash Competition, you must accurately confirm the location from which you are playing.

12.2 Additional Laws. In addition to Gaming Laws, you are also subject to all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations of the city, state and country in which you reside and from which you access and use Services, including without limitation U.S. export laws (together with Gaming Laws, the “Applicable Laws”). You are solely responsible for your compliance with all Applicable Laws. Access to Competitions may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain jurisdictions. SERVICES AND COMPETITIONS ARE VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS. Your participation in Competitions is at your own risk, and you agree not to hold us responsible or liable if Applicable Laws restrict or prohibit your access or participation.

13.3 Applicable Laws. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, if you reside or use our Services in the U.S., these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S., without regard to conflict of law principles thereof. You hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the Courts of Albany, New York, U.S.

Otherwise, for any dispute not subject to arbitration, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong, without regard to conflict of law principles thereof. You hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of Hong Kong.


13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

 For any and all controversies, disputes, demands, claims, or causes of action between You and us (including the interpretation and scope of this Section and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action) relating to the Service or this Agreement (as well as any related or prior agreement that You may have had with us), You and we agree to resolve any such controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action exclusively through binding and confidential arbitration. For United States residents, the arbitration will take place in the federal judicial district of Your residence. For international residents, the arbitration will take place within 50 miles of any Innovation Casualty office. As used in this Section, "we" and "us" mean Innovation Casualty and its subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns and all of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives. In addition, "we" and "us" include any third party providing any product, service, or benefit in connection with the Service or this Agreement (as well as any related or prior agreement that You may have had with us) if such third party is named as a co-party with us in any controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action subject to this Section.

Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes. As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the "Rules and Procedures"). Where no claims or counterclaims exceed $10,000, the dispute will be resolved by the submission of documents without a hearing, unless a hearing is requested by a party or deemed necessary by the arbitrator, in which case, a party may elect to participate telephonically.

You should review this provision carefully. To the extent permitted by applicable law, You are GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend Your rights EXCEPT for matters that You file in small claims court in the state or municipality of Your residence within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court and as long as such matter is only pending in that court. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures may be SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrators' decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.

You and we must abide by the following rules: (A) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR US MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (B) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (c) in the event that You are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of Your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, (d) we also reserve the right, in our sole and exclusive discretion, to assume responsibility for any or all of the costs of the arbitration; (e) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (f) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither You nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (g) subject to the limitation of liability provisions of this Agreement, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (h) You and we will pay our respective attorneys' fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys' fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law.

This Section will survive termination of Your Account and this Agreement as well as any voluntary payment of any debt in full by You or any bankruptcy by You or us. With the exception of subparts (a) and (b) above of this Section (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (a) or (b) above of this Section is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void, and neither You nor we will be entitled to arbitration.

For more information on the AAA, the Rules and Procedures, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, You may call the AAA at 888-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

We are constantly modifying, updating, expanding, and improving our Service. Innovation Casualty reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to make changes, modify, or add or remove portions of this Agreement, our Privacy Policy, and other incorporated terms and policies at any time, in our sole discretion. Material changes to this Agreement shall not be applied retroactively. If we update this Agreement, You will be required to either accept the terms or choose not to accept the terms. If You do not agree to the terms of this Agreement or any modified version of this Agreement, Your sole recourse is to terminate Your use of the Service, in which case You will no longer have access to Your Account. No one at Innovation Casualty is authorized to modify this Agreement with You or otherwise enter into an agreement with You that conflicts with this Agreement, except by means of written agreement signed by an authorized agent of Innovation Casualty, and any other purported modifications or alterations or conflicting terms shall be null and void.

 

15.General Terms.

Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire and sole agreement between You and Innovation Casualty with respect to the Service and supersedes all prior understandings, arrangements, or agreements, whether written or oral, regarding the Service, whether written, verbal or established, assumed, or inferred by prior use, custom, or practice. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

Assignment. We may assign, delegate, or transfer any or all of our rights and obligations under this Agreement to any third party at our discretion without any prior notice to You. All Your rights and obligations under this Agreement are personal to You and may not be assigned, delegated, or transferred without our prior written consent (which may be withheld for any or no reason), and any purported assignment that does not satisfy such requirement shall be null and void.

Force Majeure. Innovation Casualty shall not be liable for a failure or delay to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, without limitation, natural disasters, war, terrorism, government action/intervention, accidents, strikes, labor issues, geopolitical conflicts, or disruptions to transportation, supplies, power, or network infrastructure.

Waiver and Severability. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or a delay by any party in the enforcement of any right hereunder, shall neither be construed as a continuing waiver nor create an expectation of non-enforcement of that or any other provision or right. Any purported waiver must be in a written instrument signed by each of You and Innovation Casualty. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, then, that provision (or portion thereof) notwithstanding, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed omitted.

Statute of Limitations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to Your use of the Service or this Agreement must be filed within one year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Notices. Subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy and applicable law, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine the form and means of providing notices to You. For example, we may provide notices to You in writing or electronically by sending You emails, "push" mobile device notifications, and text messages and/or by posting notices on the Site. All notices to us that are intended to have a legal effect must be in writing and delivered in writing to the following address: INNOVATION CASUALTY LIMITED, FLAT B5, 1/F., MANNING IND.BUILDING, 116-118 HOW MING STREET, KWUN TONG, KOWLOON HONG KONG, which will be deemed to be given upon our actual receipt thereof.
