This means, for example, that if you create or upload User Content to the Game, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others. Except as provided below, this license will end when your content is deleted from Our systems. You also agree that other users may interact with, supplement, manipulate, and modify (in whole or in part) any content, including User Content, uploaded to, created in, or otherwise incorporated into the Game.

11.3 BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER - US RESIDENTS ONLY

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 11.3 (BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER - US RESIDENTS ONLY) CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. THIS SECTION 11.3 REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR BELOW) THAT YOU HAVE AGAINST US ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE GAMES TERMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

  1. Initial Dispute Resolution. In the event that you have any dispute with us that is connected to the Terms and Conditions or use of the Game or related services, including our Privacy Policy or Refund Policy, you may contact us at the Notice Address set forth below and we will endeavor to resolve the dispute.
  2. Binding Individual Arbitration. You can bring claims in your local “small claims” court, if the rules of that court will allow it. If you do not bring your claims in small claims court (or if you or we appeal a small claims court judgment to a court of general jurisdiction), then the claims must be resolved by binding, individual arbitration. Subject to the above exception, you agree that any cause of action, legal claim, or dispute that you have against us arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, the Game, or related services (“claim(s)”) must be resolved by arbitration on an individual basis. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; you may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other users of the Game.
  3. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated, then only that claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for relief) remain subject to this Section 11.3. For any claim that is not arbitrated or resolved in small claims court or an appeal thereof or not subject to arbitration, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas or a state court located in Harris County, Texas. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
  4. Right to Opt Out. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER DESCRIBED ABOVE, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ACCESS OR USE THE GAME AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, and the email address you used to access the Game, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of the binding arbitration and/or class action waiver to the Notice address set out below.
  5. Arbitration Process. Before you commence arbitration of a claim, you must provide us with a written notice of dispute that includes your name, residence address, username, and email address you used to access the Game, a detailed description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. Any notice of dispute you send to us should be mailed to the Notice address set out below.
  6. Before we commence arbitration, we will send you a notice of dispute to the email address you used to access the Game, or by other appropriate means. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within 30 days after the notice of dispute is received, you or we may commence arbitration.
  7. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer all arbitrations under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
  8. Miscellaneous Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms and Conditions will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of national, federal, state, or local agencies or regulators and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you. Disputes related to intellectual property rights (like copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets) are not subject to arbitration and instead must be brought in court.
