VIRTUAL ITEMS

As part of our Services, we may offer users the ability to use electronic representations of value such as virtual currency, betting chips, tokens and other items (“Virtual Items”). Your use of Virtual Items is pursuant to a licence from us, pursuant to which you are granted a limited, “at will” licence to use such Virtual Items in conjunction with your use of the Services. You agree that you do not have any ownership rights in respect of Virtual Items other than such limited use license, and that such limited use licence may be terminated by us for any reason, or for no reason, in respect of any or all of the Virtual Items. In order to facilitate enjoyment of users’ experience with our Services, we endeavour to accurately record changes to our users’ holdings of Virtual Items. However you agree that we will have no liability to you for any failure or neglect in doing so either accurately or at all. You also acknowledge and agree that Virtual Items do not have any real-world value whether in monetary or other terms of value, and you shall have no claims against us in respect of any Virtual Items or your loss of use of any Virtual Items for any reason. We may change the representation, measurement, accounting, recoding methods, use and existence of any Virtual Items at any time without having to give any notice to you and without recompense to you.

PLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS

As part of our Services, we may offer and award users various forms of recognition for their play, participation and/or success in games, tournaments, events and other features offered by us (“Player Achievements”). Player Achievements may include, (without limitation): scores, ratings, rankings, leaderboard positions, trophies and titles, and their visual representation in electronic forms including badges and icons.

The offer, award and maintenance of any Player Achievements is at our sole discretion, which we may revoke for any reason or for no reason.

From time to time, we may offer in our sole discretion certain real-world rewards or privileges in connection with the attainment or maintenance of certain Player Achievements. Save to the limited extent as we expressly stipulate in writing in these such cases, you acknowledge that Player Achievements have no real-world value and are not convertible into any item of real-world value, monetary or otherwise.

In all cases, you agree that you have no claims against us (including without limitation any claims for consequential loss or pure economic loss) in respect of the award, mis-award, non-award, failure or refusal to maintain, or the revocation of any Player Achievements, including any failure or neglect by us in implementing, recording, awarding or maintaining any Player Achievements either accurately or at all.

We may change the representation, measurement, accounting, recording methods, use and existence of any Player Achievements without having to give any notice to you and without recompense to you. We may also, without notice, modify, adjust or revoke any Player Achievements which were awarded as a result of error, fraud, technical failure, our own changes to the basis on which we apply rankings or ratings or to the basis on which they are calculated, or which arose from activity violating our Fair Play standards.

MATCH POKER ONLINE EVENTS

From time to time we may promote and hold scheduled and special events featuring different competitive formats of our game. These events currently include but are not limited to our Premiership competition, our Weekly Challenge competition, and our Match Poker Online World Cup (each, and collectively, “MPO Events)”. The lineup of MPO Events may change from time to time.

The schedule and format of MPO Events; their eligibility criteria; the criteria we apply for determining the progression of players within them and the manner of ranking players’ results and of determining winners; and the nature, amount and distribution of prizes (if any), in relation to MPO Events will be notified to users from time to time via material published on our website and/or other forms of communication we have with our users, such as in-app messaging or via email messages sent to users’ email addresses associated with their account.

Any aspects of MPO Events not outlined by us in such prior communications which affect the conduct of such events may be addressed and resolved by us, including our authorised representatives, at the time of any incident, question or controversy arising. Such determinations shall be final and binding and not subject to any appeal.

We reserve the right to add to or change any of the foregoing aspects of MPO Events, including the suspension or cancellation of any MPO Events, at any time for any reason (including for no reason) at our sole discretion. We may do so without giving prior notice. We will nevertheless endeavour to provide our users with notice of such changes via the communication methods listed previously in this section.

Users are requested to be punctual for any scheduled MPO Events they wish to participate in as we will endeavour to commence such events promptly at their scheduled time. In the event that a user fails or is unable to join any MPO Event promptly, or experiences a connection issue interrupting or interfering with their participation in any MPO Event, the event will continue and such user may, at the discretion of the event officials, be removed from further participation in the event in the interests of the smooth and efficient conduct of the event for other users.

In order to protect the integrity of MPO Events by the application of our rules relating to Fair Play (set out below), we reserve the right in relation to any user who in our sole opinion has violated our Fair Play requirements (either in connection with the event in question or otherwise in connection with any present or prior use of our Services) to prevent or disqualify that user from participating in any MPO Event. We may also in such cases take any of the following actions in respect of a user in our discretion: (i) issue a warning; (ii) require a hand or match restart; (iii) forfeit a user from a hand or a match; (iv) forfeit in whole or in part a user’s prize(s) (if any) in connection with an MPO Event; and (v) suspend a user from participating in any future MPO Events. This is without limitation to the taking of other steps permitted to us as specified elsewhere in these Terms of Use.

We may suspend or discontinue any MPO Event if, in our sole opinion, there is any actual or suspected tampering of the event, or any other malfunction, event or activity that may affect the integrity of the event.

Cash Prizes and Other Prizes of Value

Where we make an offer of a cash prize or other prize of value in connection with an MPO Event, the making of such offer and the award of such prize is void in any jurisdiction where it would be prohibited by law. Users may participate in such events only if such participation does not violate local laws applicable to them. Users are responsible for ensuring that their participation in any MPO Events complies with such laws.

Where it is determined that a user is eligible from their participation in any MPO Event to be awarded a cash prize or other prize of value, we will contact that user via the methods of contact supplied to us by that user in association with their account. In order to receive such prize, the user must have either a bank account recognised by our international payment processor Wise.com, or a PayPal account. The user will be required to submit to us within ten (10) days of such notification, necessary information requested by us in order for us to complete the transmission of such prize to the user via one of these means. Should the user be uncontactable by us, or fail to supply such information within such time, or not have either a bank account recognised by Wise.com or a Paypal account, the prize will be forfeited and we may award or distribute the prize to other participants in the relevant event as determined at our sole discretion.

The winner of any prize from any MPO Event will be responsible for all taxes on any prize won and on the value of any items or value transferred to the user by us. We reserve the right to award the winner of any non-cash prize with cash to an equivalent value.

We shall not be obligated to award any prize that relates to or arises out of improper or mistaken prize notification, operation or function of any MPO Event.

Notifications

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on or through our Services infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Notification”). A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification.

All Notifications should meet the requirements of DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include the following information: (1) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on our Services are covered by the Notification, a representative list of such works on our Services; (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed upon.

Counter Notification

If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from our Services as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Counter Notification”). To be an effective Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification must include substantially the following: (1) identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (2) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we are located; (3) a statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the Notification or the party’s agent; (4) your name, address, and telephone number; (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.

If you send us a valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive notice from the party filing the Notification informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question. Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. Filing a false Counter Notification constitutes perjury.
