6.1 Fees. You shall pay all fees and payments for Services (“Fees”) charged to your Account.  All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, prepaid and non-refundable. We may change the price of Services at any time, without affecting your past purchases. You shall be authorized to use the payment method that you provided and any payment information you provide shall be true and accurate.  When you provide a payment method, you authorize us to charge you for the Services using such payment method to charge you for any paid feature of the Services that you choose to sign up for. 

6.2 Billing. We may change our billing procedures with or without notice to you. We may bill you (i) in advance; (ii) at the time of purchase; or (iii) shortly after purchase, in our sole discretion.  If we make an error on your bill, you must tell us within 120 days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If you do not inform us within that time period, we will not be liable for any losses resulting from the error and we will not be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If we identify a billing error, we will correct that error within 90 days. 

6.3 Cash Deposits. You are a “Cash Player” if you play in a competition that requires a cash entry fee to be paid (“Cash Competition”).  If you establish a positive Account balance for entry fees for Cash Competitions, then you are required to submit the information of your full name, permanent address, phone number, and credit card or other payment information, and to maintain such information current and correct at all times. We may require you to establish a positive Account balance in any amount we determine in order to participate in Cash Competitions.  If you are a Cash Player, you allow us to share your personal and payment information in confidence with third party service providers in order to validate your identity and assess the transaction risk associated with accepting your selected method of payment, as well as any other purpose as detailed in our Privacy Policy.  If you make a credit card deposit, we may require at least a US$10.00 credit limit by sending an authorization request to the issuing bank, no matter whether the actual amount charged is lower.

6.4 Withdrawal Requests; Closing Accounts. If you are a “Cash Player,” you may request a withdrawal of funds from your available Account balance at any time. Subject to our confirmation of funds availability, withdrawal requests may take up to 15 days to process. We reserve the right to freeze a user’s Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected abuse by a user requesting withdrawal of funds. The minimum amount of any withdrawal (other than when your Account is closed) is US$5.00. If your Account is closed then, subject to our right to freeze a user’s Account, delay a request for withdrawal, or declare that funds are forfeited because of your Fraud, the remaining funds in your Account at the time of closing will be returned to you.  If you initiate a withdrawal of funds from your Account, you will forfeit all Bonus Cash and/or in-game items currently in your Account.

​6.5 Service Fee. For any cash deposit added to your Account, your Account will be credited for the amount deposited net of service fees to cover the costs we need to pay for the transaction; the service fee for each deposit is equal to 15% of the amount deposited into your Account and will be charged when you submit a withdrawal application. The service fee, however, is waived when 50% of the amount of cash deposited into your Account has been used to pay entry fees of games in the Apps.

​6.6 Refund Policy. We will not grant you any refunds, unless (a) we deem such a refund appropriate under the circumstances, or (b) otherwise required by law.  . 

6.7 Winnings. When you receive Winnings, you may be required to provide us with proof evidencing that you are, or were at the time of your participation, eligible to participate in the subject competition in accordance with these Terms and that you did participate in accordance with these Terms.  If you fail to provide us with such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, you will not receive the relevant Winnings. We may reverse or require return of any payment in error which has been received by you and you shall cooperate with us in this regard. We may also reduce payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment. 

6.8 Credit Card/PayPal Use. When you pay by credit card, you represent to us that you are the authorized user of such credit card. If your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address changes, or if your credit card expires or is cancelled for any reason, you must notify us immediately. We are not liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment by a third party (such as PayPal) in connection with the Services. 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 potentially subject you to civil litigation and/or criminal prosecution. 

6.9 Bonus Cash. A Cash Player may be granted bonus cash and/or credits (“Bonus Cash”). Bonus Cash can only be used to enter Cash Competitions and for no other purpose.  When you enter a Cash Competition, US$0.01 of Bonus Cash will be used to enter the competition for every US$0.10 spent on the Cash Competition entry fee. However, if Bonus Cash is the only currency available in your account, additional Bonus Cash will be used to enter Cash Competitions. For games of multiple players, when you win a Cash Competition, any Bonus Cash 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. Please check and consult with our Customer Service team, for the detailed rules on Winnings.

6.10 Forfeiture of Funds. If your Account is unilaterally closed or terminated because of your Fraud, we may determine that the funds in your Account shall be forfeited and not returned to you.

​6.11 Account Monthly Maintenance Fee. If your Account is inactive (i.e., you have not entered at least one tournament) for more than 90 days, all bonus cash will be deducted from your Account. If your Account is inactive for more than 150 days, all Gems/Tickets will be deducted from your Account. We may charge you of a maintenance fee of US$2.00 per month if your Account is inactive for six consecutive months or more (the “Monthly Maintenance Fee”).  You will receive an email (if we have your correct email address) or another form of written message (e.g., an in-App message) if your Account is inactive for five months or more, notifying you that if your Account remains inactive for one more month, the Monthly Maintenance Fee will be deducted from your Account each consecutive month. If there are no funds in your Account, the Monthly Maintenance Fee will not be deducted from your Account.  However, if your Account has no funds and has been inactive for twelve or more consecutive months, your Account may be closed.

7. Taxes 

It is our policy, and in compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, to send an IRS Form 1099-MISC or other appropriate forms to any user who wins in excess of US$600 in any given year. Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, we may also send you a W-9 and/or additional tax forms. We reserve the right to withhold (from your existing Account balance and/or from future Winnings) any amount required to be withheld by Applicable Laws. You remain solely responsible for paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in your local, state, province, and/or country of residence.

By using the Services, you agree to, at your own cost and expense, indemnify and hold harmless Aviagames, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns, from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, disputes, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, expenses, or fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (i) your breach of these Terms, including your breach of any representation, warrantee, or agreement herein; ; (ii) any use of your Account by any person, whether authorized by you or not; (iii) your violation of any Applicable Laws; (iv) your negligence or misconduct; and/or (v) Aviagames’ use of your information.  Upon the written request of Aviagames, you shall, at your cost and expense, defend us from any of the foregoing using counsel reasonably acceptable to us.

Any and all terms and conditions within these Terms which should, by their nature, survive termination of this Agreement, will survive such termination. 

12. Disclaimers 

We strive to keep Services up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and we are not responsible or liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. You should regularly backup content that you store on the Services. 

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS, ALL SERVICES, PRODUCTS, INFORMATION AND DATA PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE BY US ARE “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THE SERVICES OR THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE SERVICES, YOUR ACCOUNT, SOFTWARE, DIGITAL ASSETS OR ANY ITEMS, PRODUCTS, INFORMATION AND DATA PROVIDED BY US WILL BE SECURE, VIRUS-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR RELIABLE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SAME WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IN COMBINATION WITH ANY THIRD PARTY COMPONENT, TECHNOLOGY, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, OR SYSTEM, OR THAT ANY SERVICES, PRODUCTS, INFORMATION AND DATA PROVIDED BY US WILL OTHERWISE MEET YOUR NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS. 

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL AVIAGAMES, ITS AFFILIATES, OR OUR OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, OR INJURY RESULTING FROM, RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF (I) USE, ACCESS, OR ATTEMPTED USE OR ACCESS OF SERVICES, DIGITAL ASSETS, OR SOFTWARE; (II) DOWNLOADING ANY INFORMATION FROM THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES; AND/OR (III) VIOLATIONS OF THESE TERMS BY OTHER USERS. WE HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ENFORCE THESE TERMS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANY USER. 

THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS.  

13. Historical Playthroughs

By using the Services, you permit Aviagames to, at its sole discretion, use a record of your playthrough of any game or contest and resulting scores and statistics ("Historical Playthrough") for any purpose, including to improve the Services, detect fraud, and match with other players. You also acknowledge and agree that when you use the Services to play a game and try to win a prize, you may be matched with another player's Historical Playthrough for the purposes of determining the outcome of a game.  Whether or not you win a prize in any contest is based on whether your score is higher than the other player(s) in the game, regardless of whether or not you are competing against the score of another live player or the score of another player’s Historical Playthrough; the goal is to achieve the highest score you can in the game so as to beat the score(s) of the other player(s) in the game. The profile displayed for a Historical Playthrough will be generated by Avia; it will not be the profile of the player whose record was used for the Historical Playthrough.

Our algorithms are designed to establish the same game setup parameters for each player in the same match. Therefore, whether you are matched against a recorded gameplay of a real player or the live gameplay of a real player, you play under the same game setup parameters as every other player in the same match is facing or has faced as determined by our algorithms.

If you beat the score(s) of the other player(s) in the game, and are otherwise eligible for a prize, you will win that prize, regardless of whether you were competing against other live player(s) or any Historical Playthroughs. If the score(s) of any Historical Playthroughs that are in the game are winner(s) of that game, Aviagames will keep the prize(s) won by those score(s).

 

14. Governing Law 

All matters relating to the Services and these Terms and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principles. 

15. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND AVIAGAMES TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND AVIAGAMES FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. THIS WOULD PREVENT YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS FILED AGAINST AVIAGAMES THAT IS DESCRIBED BELOW, AS WELL AS OTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. YOU AND AVIAGAMES AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. AVIAGAMES AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

 

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

NOTICE OF PENDING LAWSUIT: There is a pending lawsuit in the Northern District of California against Aviagames and certain of its affiliates. This lawsuit asserts claims under California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL) and the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act relating to the alleged use of “bots” in the Apps and allegedly false representations by Aviagames, among other conduct. This lawsuit seeks to recover up to three times the amount of certain money allegedly lost while playing Cash Competitions in the Apps, additional statutory damages, an injunction against further legal violations by Aviagames, as well as pre-judgment interest, post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees. Aviagames denies the claims and believes that the claims lack merit. The court has not yet decided who is right or whether the lawsuit can proceed as a class action. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are represented by attorneys at the law firms of Edelson PC, which can be contacted at (415) 212-9300, and Burns, Charest LLP, which can be contacted at (469) 895-5269. The complaint for the above-referenced lawsuit can be found here.Please note: any class action lawsuits that Aviagames learns of after the date at the top of these Terms of Service are not included in this notice.

This Section 15 is an agreement between you and Aviagames and applies to both parties’ respective agents, employees, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, beneficiaries and assigns. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 15 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law. This Section 15 shall be interpreted broadly and shall survive termination of these Terms.

a) Claims Covered by Arbitration. All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to these Terms, any Services, or the relationship between you and Aviagames (“Disputes”) shall be determined exclusively by binding arbitration. This includes claims that accrued before you entered into this Agreement. The only Disputes not covered by this section are (i) disputes regarding the infringement, protection or validity of your, Aviagames’ or Aviagames’ licensors’ copyright, trademark or patent rights and (ii) individual disputes that qualify for small claims court.

 

b) Informal Negotiations. You and Aviagames shall try to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 60 days before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations commence upon receipt of written notice from one person to the other (“Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute must: (i) include the full name and contact information of the complaining party or legal representative of the complaining party; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. Aviagames will send its Notice of Dispute to your email address. You will send your Notice of Dispute to: Aviagames Customer Support, Suite 200, 28E 3rd Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401 by U.S. mail and legal@aviagames.com.

c) Binding Arbitration. If you and Aviagames cannot resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation, you agree to resolve all Disputes by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act, instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

Disputes that must be arbitrated include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.

All Disputes must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. If you are a consumer, the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply, which are available on the AAA’s website (adr.org), as amended by these Terms as follows:

  1. YOU AND AVIAGAMES AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND AVIAGAMES ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against Aviagames or you by the same or coordinated counsel, 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.

  2. For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee, and Aviagames will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Aviagames, Aviagames will pay all AAA fees and costs.

  3. For all arbitrations where the claims asserted are $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (i) 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; (ii) any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; and (iii) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator.

  4. If you or Aviagames submits a Dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and Aviagames agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Aviagames agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration. 

  5. The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual dispute before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

  6. The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Aviagames or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated. In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and Aviagames understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Aviagames or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated resolution of your or Aviagames’ Claim might be delayed. For such coordinated actions, you and Aviagames also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for claimants and counsel for Aviagames shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings. The remaining cases shall be deemed filed for purposes of the statute of limitations but not for the purpose of assessing AAA fees. No AAA fees shall be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. This bellwether process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this bellwether process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your or Aviagames’ case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Aviagames or you.

 

d) One Year to File Claims. Disputes you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred. 

e) Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at legal@aviagames.com or by certified mail addressed to Suite 200, 28E 3rd Ave, San Mateo, CA 94401. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 14.

f) Severability. If any portion of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 15 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 15; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore 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. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 15 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 15 will be enforceable.

g) Outside the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding the Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section 15 of the Terms or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
