In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
Whether to agree to arbitration is an important decision. It is your decision to make and you should not rely solely on the information provided in this agreement, as it is not intended to contain a complete explanation of the consequences of arbitration. You should take reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with others regarding the consequences of your decision.

- Scope of Arbitration.
All past, present, and future disputes, claims, or controversies (except those listed below) arising out of or relating to these Terms, any Service, the use of any Service by you or any third party, any applicable additional or supplemental rules or guidelines provided within a game on the Service, or the relationship between the parties, or breach thereof, including disputes with respect to whether the subject matter of any controversy or claim is within the scope of these Terms, except for:- claims regarding the infringement, protection or validity of either party or its licensors' trade secrets, copyright, trademark, or patent rights;
- claims by residents of Australia to enforce a statutory consumer right under Australian consumer law; and
- claims brought in small claims court in the county of your billing address (collectively, "Disputes", and each a "Dispute") shall be determined exclusively by binding individual arbitration.
- Informal Negotiations.
The parties shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute arising out of the Service(s) for at least 60 days before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations begin upon the sending of a properly addressed written notice from one party to the other ("Notice of Dispute"). The Notice of Dispute must:- include the full name and contact information of the complaining party;
- additional information to positively identify the complaining party and their Your Account(s), including email address used to establish the Your Account(s), Friend Code(s), player identification, and device ID;
- describe the nature and basis of the claim or Dispute; and
- set forth the specific relief sought.
- Location of Arbitration and Applicable Rules.
The parties agree that any Disputes not resolved through informal negotiations will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The parties agree that such arbitration shall occur in Orange County, California unless you are a consumer, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section only, a "consumer" means a person using the Service for personal, noncommercial purposes. The parties agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules"). For in-person arbitration proceedings, either party may request to appear in such proceedings telephonically. Unless the parties agree otherwise, such arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with the JAMS Rules, as modified by these Terms. Unless the parties agree otherwise, within 30 days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person, who must be a retired federal judge and a member of the JAMS panel of neutrals, to act as arbitrator, and the two so selected shall select a third arbitrator within 60 days of the commencement of the arbitration. The third arbitrator preferably will be, but is not required to be, a retired federal judge who is a member of the JAMS panel of neutrals. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within the allotted time, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with our rules. All arbitrators shall serve as neutral, independent, and impartial arbitrators. - Authority of Arbitrators.
The parties agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrators will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrators may consider, but will not be bound by, rulings in other arbitrations where you and we were not both parties. Subject to Section (e), the arbitrators may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual's claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual, unless all involved parties consent to such consolidation. - Mass Arbitrations.
For mass arbitrations (which are defined as 25 or more similar demands for arbitration filed against the same party or related parties by individual claimants represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination), the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines ("JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules") shall apply. In such proceedings, the parties agree that, notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, the Process Administrator (as described in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules) and the arbitrators shall have the authority to implement the procedures set forth in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules, including the authority to batch together individual arbitration demands into a single coordinated proceeding. All provisions of this Section that are not in conflict with the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules, including the qualifications for the arbitrators, shall continue to apply. - Confidentiality.
You, we and the arbitrators shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. The arbitrators will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law provides to the contrary. - Allocation of Arbitration Fees.
If you assert a Dispute as a consumer, you will be responsible for paying all applicable arbitration fees charged by JAMS, including but not limited to the initial filing fee, Case Management Fee, and any arbitrators' professional fees, up to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. We may, at our sole discretion, choose to cover a portion of these fees, but is under no obligation to do so. You are solely responsible for any attorneys' fees or other legal costs you incur. - Statute of limitations.
Any dispute must be filed within one (1) year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the dispute is permanently barred, which means that the parties will not have the right to assert the claim. - Waiver of class relief.
Subject to section (e), all arbitrations and litigation shall proceed solely on an individual basis. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you agree that you and we will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration, other representative action or proceeding, or any action pursuant to any statute that allows recovery on behalf of, for the benefit of, or of amounts lost or spent by other individuals (including in a private attorney general capacity). You and we are each waiving respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in any past, pending, or future class action or any other consolidated or representative proceeding. - Procedure to Opt Out.
You may opt out of the binding arbitration requirement in these Terms by sending written notice via U.S. Mail, or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express) to us: 7346 Bolsa Ave, Westminster, CA 92683. For your opt out to be effective, you must send such notice within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of these Terms. You must personally hand-sign and date the notice, and include in it your name, email address(es) connected to your Account(s) (if you have a our Account), address, and any other information to positively identify you and your Account(s), including Friend Code(s), player identification, or device ID, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through the arbitration provisions in these Terms. - Severability.
If any portion of this Section is determined by a court to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason:- the unenforceable or invalid provision shall be severed from these Terms;
- severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section; and
- to the extent that any claims must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section will be enforceable.
If you live within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or United Kingdom, this Section does not apply to you. Please see the Global Addendum for the dispute resolution terms that apply to you.

1. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND AMENDMENTS
Notwithstanding anything in the "Additional Terms and Amendments" section of the Terms, you are only subject to Supplemental Terms that you have expressly agreed to. This includes any Supplemental Terms that are listed in the Terms and any Supplemental Terms that you agree to through the Services.
When we materially change or modify the Terms and any Supplemental Terms, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of the changes and the opportunity to review the changes, except:
- when the changes are beneficial to you;
- when the changes only address a new service or feature being launched; or

If you do not agree to the new terms, you should stop using Services and, if you have one, close your Account(s).
We reserve the right to limit, suspend, modify, delete or discontinue the Service(s) or to change the content of the Service(s) in any way and at any time, with or without notice to you, without liability and without any obligation to compensate you for any losses.
2. USER CONTENT
Notwithstanding anything in the "Communications, Reviews, Feedback, Unsolicited Submissions, And Posting On Other Websites" section of the Terms of Service, the license you grant us to your User Content only lasts for as long as your User Content is protected by intellectual property rights.
3. TERMINATION ACCOUNT
Notwithstanding anything in the "Termination Account" section of the Terms of Service, we will only terminate your Account or your access to and use of other Services for good cause. There is good cause if, taking into account all the circumstances of the specific case and weighing the interests of both parties, we cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contractual relationship, such as if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms. We may also suspend your Account and access to our Services for a period of up to ninety (90) days while we investigate suspected misconduct if the misconduct would qualify as good cause and we reasonably believe that misconduct may have occurred.
4. LEGAL GUARANTEES
(SWITZERLAND AND UNITED KINGDOM ONLY)
If you live in Switzerland or the United Kingdom, this Section applies to you. The Services will be provided using a commercially reasonable level of care and skill. Other than as expressly stated in these Terms, we do not make any commitments about the reliability of the Services or the ability of the Services to meet your needs and disclaims all other warranties.
5. (EEA ONLY)
If you live in the European Economic Area, this Section applies to you. Consumer laws where you live provide that we are liable to you for supplying digital content and service that comply with any contract you have with us and with the objective and subjective criteria set out by the law. Under these consumer laws, we are liable for any lack of conformity that you discover:
- Within two years for digital goods that we supply to you on a one-off basis;
- At any time for digital content or services that we supply to you on a continuous basis; or
- During any longer guarantee period provided by the laws of the country where you live.
We will not, however, be liable for the non-conformity if we can demonstrate that the lack of conformity is directly attributable to the incompatibility between the digital content or service and your digital environment and that you had been informed by us of the technical compatibility requirements of that content or service before the conclusion of the contract. You are required to cooperate with us, to the extent reasonably possible, necessary, and least intrusive for you, to determine whether the lack of conformity is caused by that incompatibility. If you want to make a guarantee claim, please contact us at the mail address provided in the Terms of Service.
6. MODIFICATIONS TO THE SERVICES (EEA ONLY)
- If you live in the European Economic Area, this Section applies to you. We may modify and adapt the Service(s) and functionality beyond what is necessary to maintain the contractual conformity of the Service(s) (a "Modification"), for reasons such as:
- to implement changed legal requirements or case law,
- to implement changed technical requirements such as a new technical environment or for other operational reasons, in particular to make necessary enhancements for the safety of users or other third parties,
- to adapt to changed market conditions such as increased user numbers or significant changes of specific and verifiable open market costs,
- due to changes in licenses we hold from third parties or other third party compliance requirements, and for your benefit or to your advantage.
- If such a Modification negatively impacts your access to or use of a Service and such negative impact is more than minor, ("Negative Modification"), we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of the Negative Modification ("Modification Notice"), except in urgent situations such as a modification to prevent abuse, to respond to legal requirements, or to address security or operability issues. The Modification Notice will include information on what the modification is, when the modification will take place, and your right to end your contract with us.
- In the event of a Negative Modification, you have the right to terminate the agreement related to the respective Service free of charge with a notice period of 30 days. The 30-day period begins with your receipt of the Modification Notice. If the Negative Modification is made after you receive the Modification Notice, the period shall begin to run only from the date of the Negative Modification. The termination of the agreement is excluded if we enable you to maintain access and use of the Services without the Negative Modification and without additional costs. Even after termination, Sections 2-9, 11,12, 21 of the Terms of Service, each as may be modified by the Global Addendum, will stay in effect.
7. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
Notwithstanding anything in the "Limitations; Waivers of Liability" section of the Terms of Service, nothing in the Terms will limit our liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health that are based on an intentional or negligent breach of duty by us or our vicarious agents or for damages based on an intentional breach of duty or grossly negligent breach of duty by us or our vicarious agents.
For all other damages, we are only liable for our simple negligent violation of essential contractual obligations and such liability shall be limited to the damage foreseeable and typical for the contract at the time of conclusion of this Terms. To be clear, essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfillment characterizes the contract and on which the user may rely. Otherwise, liability is excluded.
Insofar as our liability is limited or excluded, the limitations or exclusions shall also apply to the personal liability of any and all our employees, legal representatives and vicarious agents.
The limitations and exclusions of liability according to this Section do not affect our liability according to the mandatory legal provisions of product liability acts in the countries where users are located. For users located in Germany, this includes liability due to the fraudulent concealment of a defect as well as the assumption of a guarantee for the quality of an item under the Product Liability Act.
8. CORRECTIONS
We exercise reasonable care to ensure that the price it lists for Services are correct. However, errors may occur. If we accept and process an order for a Service where a pricing error was obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognized by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These Terms and your access to and use of the Service(s) will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the country where you live, and the application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. In the event you bring legal proceedings in respect of these Terms in the courts of the country where you live, you will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on mandatory provisions of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident.
We prefer to solve your requests directly with you and therefore, unless otherwise agreed to by us in writing, we do not participate in alternative consumer dispute resolution proceedings. If you would like to bring a matter to our attention, please contact us.
10. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
- Statutory withdrawal right:
Notwithstanding any references to limited refund policies in the Terms, if you purchase a Service (such as a Paid Virtual Item) for your own personal (non-commercial) use directly from us, you have the right to withdraw from the transaction within fourteen (14) days from the date of the transaction as long as none of the exceptions explained below apply. - Withdrawal procedure:
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of the decision to withdraw by providing written notice to Customer Service of your desire to withdrawal.

For this reimbursement, we will typically use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless we have expressly agreed otherwise with you. - Losing your withdrawal right:
You will lose your withdrawal right under the following circumstances:- When the contract is for a Service that is digital content, such as a game or software, not supplied on a tangible medium and you expressly agree to have us supply the digital content to you before the end of the withdrawal period. In such cases you lose your right of withdrawal and will not be entitled to any reimbursements.
- When the contract is for a Service that is a digital service and you expressly agree to have us supply the digital content to you before the end of the withdrawal period. In such cases you may only exercise your withdrawal right with regard to any part of the services not yet performed, meaning that the refund you receive after withdrawing will be prorated based on the proportion of the services already provided by the time you notify us of your decision to withdraw.
- Transactions with third parties:
We are unable to refund transactions made via a distribution platform like the Apple App Store or Google Play. The Third-Party App Store's refund policy will apply to such transactions, and customers who completed a transaction through a Third-Party App Store will need to contact the Third-Party App Store directly with any refund requests. See Section 5 of the Terms of Service for more information about how you can request a refund from a Third-Party App Store.
