USER AGREEMENT

SportsClash owns and operates the Website that links to these Terms of Use. We are pleased to offer you access to our Website and the ability to participate in our sports contests of skill, other content, products, services, and promotions (collectively the “Services”) that we may provide from our Website, subject to these Terms of Use (the “Terms of Use”, or “Terms”), our privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) and the Official Rules and Regulations for the applicable contests and promotions (the “Rules” or “Rules and Scoring,” and together with the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy, the “Agreements”).

CONSIDERATION

You agree to these Terms of Use by accessing or using the Website, registering for Services offered on the Website, or by accepting, uploading, submitting or downloading any information or content from or to the Website. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE THE WEBSITE. These Terms of Use constitute a legal agreement between you and SportsClash and shall apply to your use of the Website and the Services even after termination.

ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to open an account, participate in contests, or win prizes offered by the Website. In jurisdictions, territories, and locations where the minimum age for permissible use of the Website is greater than eighteen (18) years old, you must meet the age requirement in your local jurisdiction or territory. You must be at least nineteen (19) years of age at time of account creation if you are a legal resident of Nebraska or Alabama or twenty-one (21) years of age if you are a legal resident of Iowa or Oklahoma. Legal residents physically located in any of the fifty (50) states and Washington, DC, excluding Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada and Washington (the “Excluded States”) are eligible to open an account and participate in contests offered by the Website. You agree to abide by all applicable laws in the jurisdiction where you are located while using the Website. Legal residents of the Excluded States are eligible to open and maintain accounts on the Website for use only in games that do not offer prizes. However, legal residents of Idaho who are physically located outside of the Excluded States are eligible to deposit funds, enter contests and earn prizes offered by the Website. Legal residents of Canada are eligible to open an account and participate in contests offered by the Website.

You may establish only one account per person to participate in the Services offered on the Website. In the event SportsClash discovers that you have opened more than one account per person, in addition to any other rights that SportsClash may have, SportsClash reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts and terminate, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login names and passwords and you accept responsibility for all activities, charges, and damages that occur under your account. It shall be a violation of these Terms of Use to allow any other person to use your account to participate in any contest. If you have reason to believe that someone is using your account without your permission, you should contact us immediately. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to notify us of unauthorized use. If we request registration information from you, you must provide us with accurate and complete information and must update the information when it changes.

“Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person 18 years of age or older who is assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization (e.g., business, education institution, etc.) that is responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the submitted e-mail address for registration on the Website. By inputting a payment method to participate in real money contests, the Authorized Account Holder hereby affirms that the Authorized Account Holder is the lawful owner of the payment method account used to make any deposit(s) on the Website. It shall be a violation of these Terms of Use for any Authorized Account Holder to submit payment using any payment method that is not owned by the Authorized Account Holder.

If any deposit is charged back any winnings generated from SportsClash contests shall be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from your Account balance. In addition, the amount of the initial deposit will be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from the Account balance. SportsClash reserves the right to close your account – without notice – shall a deposit be charged back.

SportsClash employees (“Employees”) and Immediate Family Members (an “Immediate Family Member” means any domestic partner and relative of the employee who resident at an employee’s residence, including but not limited to parents, grandparents, in-laws, children, siblings, and spouses) are not permitted to play in any public contests for cash hosted on the Website. However, Employees and Immediate Family Members are permitted to play in the following contests on the Website: SportsClash-sponsored Private Contest, Private Contests for cash, or Private Contests for prizes other than cash. A “Private Contest” is one that is not listed in the website public domain, and is hosted by another Employee, relative, or friend of the Employee or Immediate Family Member participating. Employees and relatives living in the same household as such employees located in Colorado, are prevented from competing in any fantasy contests offered by any fantasy contest operator in which the operator offers a cash prize.

Professional or amateur athletes, sports agents, coaches, team owners, team employees, referees or league officials, and their immediate family members, are not eligible to participate in, and are strictly prohibited from entering, any SportsClash contests in the sport in which they are associated.

CONTEST ENTRY

Users will be able to visit the Website and view the games available for entry (the “Contests”). Each individual Contest that is not free to enter has an entry fee listed in US dollars. When you select to participate in a Contest and complete the entry process, the listed amount of US dollars will be debited from your SportsClash account.

REFUND POLICY

Deposits made on our site will appear on your statement as SportsClash. All payments are final. No refunds will be issued. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting an entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose name the account was registered.

Customers depositing funds using a credit card in some states may see a charge on their credit card statement labeled “international transaction fee” or similar description. The company processing credit card payments for SportsClash in certain states may operate outside the United States and may impose fees for international transactions.

If you are charged this international transaction fee to deposit funds into your SportsClash account, you may contact SportsClash at support@sportsclash.com and request a full reimbursement of the international transaction fee. To process your reimbursement request, SportsClash will need the following information: (i) original transaction date and amount deposited; (ii) the amount(s) of the fee(s) assessed on such deposited amount; (iii) date(s) such fee(s) was/were assessed; and (iv) a copy of your credit card statement showing such fee(s). SportsClash reserves the right to request additional information to process your request. SportsClash will review your submission and if SportsClash determines that you have been charged the international transaction fee as a result of depositing funds into your SportsClash account, SportsClash will credit such amount back to your Account.

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION

At the time of registration for online account access, you must provide a valid email address and supply a Username and Password to be used in conjunction with your account. You may not use a Username that promotes a commercial venture or a Username that SportsClash in its sole discretion deems offensive. Many portions of the SportsClash require registration for access (the “Restricted Areas”). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Password and are fully responsible for all uses of your Username and Password, whether by you or others. You agree to (a) never use the same Password for the Service that you use or have ever used outside of the Service; (b) keep your Username and Password confidential and not share them with anyone else; (c) immediately notify SportsClash of any unauthorized use of your Username and Password or account or any other breach of security; and (d) use only your own Username and Password to access the Service’s Restricted Areas. SportsClash cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply.

You acknowledge and agree that SportsClash is authorized to act on instructions received through the use of your Username and Password, and that SportsClash may, but is not obligated to, deny access or block any transaction made through use of your Username and Password without prior notice if we believe your Username and Password are being used by someone other than you, or for any other reason. SportsClash may require you to change your Username or may unilaterally change your Username.

By entering a Contest, entrants agree to be bound by these Rules and the decisions of SportsClash, which shall be final and binding in all respects. The Company, at its sole discretion, may disqualify any entrant from a Contest, refuse to award benefits or prizes and require the return of any prizes, if the entrant engages in conduct or otherwise utilizes any information the Company deems to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Contest or is in any way detrimental to other entrants. These Terms prohibit entering a Contest if the entrant is:

Accessing or has had access to any pre-release, confidential information or other information that is not available to all other entrants of a Contest and that provides the entrant an advantage in such a Contest, including any information from any sport site or information from a sports governing body (e.g., pre-release injury information) (“Pre-Release Data”);
An employee, operator or consultant to a sports governing body where such employee, operator or consultant is prohibited from participating in applicable Contests by such governing body;
Breaches any rules or policies of the entrant’s employer, of any sports governing body, or any other professional body of which the entrant is a member, including any rule or policy regarding participation in Contests or accepting prize money;
Any person prohibited from participating pursuant to court order;
Any entrant who has knowingly received Pre-Release Data or any other non-public information that provides an advantage in a Contest from any person who is prohibited from entering a Contest as provided in these Terms.
Any federal or state rule or law that prohibits your participation

In addition, conduct that would be deemed improper also includes, but is not limited to:

Falsifying personal information required to enter a Contest or claim a prize;
Engaging in any type of financial fraud including unauthorized use of credit instruments to enter a Contest or claim a prize;
Colluding with any other individual(s) or engaging in any type of syndicate play;
Any violation of Contest rules or the Terms of Use;
Using a single Account to participate in a Contest on behalf of multiple entrants or otherwise collaborating with others to participate in any Contest;
Using automated means (including but not limited to scripts and third-party tools) to interact with the Website in any way (this includes, but is not limited to: creating a contest, entering a contest, withdrawing from a contest, creating a lineup, and editing a lineup);
Using automated means (including but not limited to harvesting bots, robots, parser, spiders or screen scrapers) to obtain, collect or access any information on the Website or of any User for any purpose.
Any type of bonus abuse or abuse of any other offers or promotions;
Tampering with the administration of a Contest or trying to in any way tamper with the computer programs or any security measure associated with a Contest;
Obtaining other entrants’ information and spamming other entrants; or
Abusing the Website in any way.

Users further acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any prize shall in no way prevent SportsClash from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.

By entering into a Contest or accepting any prize, entrants, including but not limited to the winner(s), agree to indemnify, release and to hold harmless SportsClash, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and agents, as well as the officers, directors, employees, shareholders and representatives of any of the foregoing entities (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all liability, claims or actions of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to injuries, damages, or losses to persons and property which may be sustained in connection with participation in the Contest, the receipt, ownership, use or misuse of any prize or while preparing for, participating in and/or travelling to or from any prize related activity, as well as any claims based on publicity rights, defamation, or invasion of privacy. SportsClash may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require an Authorized Account Holder to execute a separate release of claims similar to the one listed above in this Paragraph as a condition of being awarded any prize or receiving any payout.

SportsClash is not responsible for: any incorrect, invalid or inaccurate entry information; human errors; postal delays/postage due mail; technical malfunctions; failures, including public utility or telephone outages; omissions, interruptions, deletions or defects of any telephone system or network, computer online systems, data, computer equipment, servers, providers, or software (including, but not limited to software and operating systems that do not permit an entrant to participate in a Contest), including without limitation any injury or damage to any entrant’s or any other person’s computer or video equipment relating to or resulting from participation in a Contest; inability to access the Website, or any web pages that are part of or related to the Website; theft, tampering, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries and/or images of any kind; data that is processed late or incorrectly or is incomplete or lost due to telephone, postal issues, computer or electronic malfunction or traffic congestion on telephone lines or transmission systems, or the Internet, or any service provider’s facilities, or any phone site or website or for any other reason whatsoever; typographical, printing or other errors, or any combination thereof.

SportsClash is not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries. If for any reason a Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, or if a Contest, computer application, or website associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper entry to a Contest in accordance with the Terms of Use or applicable Contest rules, or if infection by a computer (or similar) virus, bug, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of SportsClash corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a Contest, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the Contest, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received. If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification will be posted on the Website.

ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY CONTEST IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SPORTSCLASH RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

All entries become the property of SportsClash and will not be acknowledged or returned.

To be eligible to enter any contest or receive any prize, the Authorized Account Holder may be required to provide SportsClash with additional documentation and/or information to verify the identity of the Authorized Account Holder, and to provide proof that all eligibility requirements are met. In the event of a dispute as to the identity or eligibility of an Authorized Account Holder, SportsClash will, in its sole and absolute discretion, utilize certain information collected by SportsClash to assist in verifying the identity and/or eligibility of such Authorized Account Holder.

Participation in each Contest must be made only as specified in the Terms of Use. Failure to comply with these Terms of Use will result in disqualification and, if applicable, prize forfeiture.

Where legal, both entrants and winner consent to the use of their name, voice, and likeness/photograph in and in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of any Contest or the Website. Winners agree that from the date of notification by SportsClash of their status as a potential winner and continuing until such time when SportsClash informs them that they no longer need to do so that they will make themselves available to SportsClash for publicity, advertising, and promotion activities.

SportsClash reserves the right to move entrants from the Contests they have entered to substantially similar Contests in certain situations determined by SportsClash in its sole discretion.

CONTEST PRIZES AND PROMOTIONS

Prizes will only be awarded if a Contest is run. We reserve the right to cancel Contests at any time. In the event of a cancellation, all entry fees will be refunded to the customer except as specifically provided in these Terms of Use.

Guaranteed prizes are offered in connection with some of the Contests offered by the Website. Each Contest or promotion is governed by its own set of official rules. We encourage you to read such Contest and promotions Rules before participating.

OTHER LEGAL RESTRICTIONS

CONTEST OF SKILL

Contests offered on the Website are contests of skill. Winners are determined by the objective criteria described in the Contest deadline, roster, Rules, scoring, and any other applicable documentation associated with the Contest. From all entries received for each Contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant sports information and fantasy sports rules to accumulate the most points according to the corresponding scoring rules. The Website and Contests may not be used for any form of illicit gambling.

CONTEST STATISTICS AND LIVE SCORING

To the extent that we offer ‘live’ statistics during gameplay, all ‘live’ statistics and other information provided through the SportsClash Website and related information sources are unofficial. Live sports statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of our Contests. While SportsClash and the third parties used to provide the SportsClash Services use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither SportsClash nor its third party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the SportsClash Website and related information sources. SportsClash and its third-party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the SportsClash Website and related information sources and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.

CONTEST RESULTS

Contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results at the completion of the last sports game of each individual Contest. Once Contest results are reviewed and graded, prizes are awarded. The scoring results of a Contest will not be changed regardless of any official statistics or scoring adjustments made by the leagues at later times or dates, except in SportsClash’ sole discretion. SportsClash reserves the right to make decisions on contests and scoring and its decisions are final.

SportsClash reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny any contestant the ability to participate in head-to-head contests for any reason whatsoever. Further, SportsClash may, in its sole and absolute discretion, invalidate any head-to-head contest result for the purposes of preventing abusive and/or any unfair or potentially unlawful activity, or in the event that there is a risk of any such abusive, illegal, or unfair activity.

PRIZES

At the conclusion of each Contest, prizes will be awarded by 12:00 NOON EST on the following day except in circumstances where technical failure, inability of the Company to verify your compliance with these Terms, or other reasons prevent such timely payout. Contest prizes are listed in our prize table list. Prizes won are added to the winning participants account balance. In the event of a tie, prizes are divided evenly amongst the participants that have tied.

PRIZE TABLES

Contest prize payouts will be published with the creation of each new contest. SportsClash reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the contests (or any portion thereof) should virus, bugs, unauthorized human intervention, or other causes corrupt administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the contest (or any portion thereof) warrant doing so. Notification of such changes may be provided by SportsClash to its customers but will not be required.

PAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL OF PRIZES

Winners are posted on the Website.

Before making any payment, SportsClash may require that an entrant complete and execute an affidavit of eligibility in which, among other things, the entrant is required to represent and warrant that the entrant is eligible to participate in a Contest, is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and, potentially, is required to provide documentation or proof of eligibility and compliance. If SportsClash requests that an entrant completes and executes such an affidavit and the entrant fails to do so within seven (7) days, or SportsClash otherwise determines that the entrant does not meet the eligibility requirements or is not in compliance with these Terms, SportsClash reserves the right to terminate the entrant’s account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, SportsClash may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant contest in a manner consistent with the Rules of the Contest.

Entrants may withdraw their cash prize awards as well as cash deposits by using the “Withdrawal” option on the Website. Entrants may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to a Driver’s License, Proof of Residence, and/or any information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested by SportsClash in order to complete the withdrawal of prizes. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such entrant did not comply with these Terms of Use in any manner.

If you are an entrant residing in Missouri, you can withdraw the funds maintained in your individual account, whether such account is open or closed, within five (5) business days of the request being made, unless SportsClash believes in good faith that the you engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put SportsClash in violation of sections 313.900 to 313.1020, RSMo, in which case SportsClash may decline to honor the request for withdrawal for a reasonable investigatory period until its investigation is resolved if it provides notice of the nature of the investigation to you. For the purposes of this provision, a request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by SportsClash but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account.

Checks for withdrawal requests are processed within 14 business days, with the exception of any such requests coming from persons physically located in Iowa, which will be processed within 5 days, and are sent via U.S. Mail. Promotional deposits, credits, and other bonuses may not be withdrawn from a SportsClash account unless appropriate terms of the promotion are achieved first by the user.

All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Contests is challenged by any legal authority, SportsClash reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.

No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted, except that SportsClash reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or greater if the advertised prize is unavailable. All prizes are awarded “as is” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose).

Any withdrawal requests, after approved by SportsClash, will be credited back to the same credit card or method of payment used to deposit funds on the Website. SportsClash will only release withdrawals to a different credit card or other payment method other than that which was used to make deposit(s) after the aggregate amount of such deposit(s) has already been released back to the credit card(s) or payment method(s) used for the deposit(s).

SPORTSCLASH PLAYER RESERVE

Customer deposits and player winnings after contests are finished are held in a separate, segregated bank account (the “Segregated Account”). Vendors, players, and creditors shall be aware that the funds in the Segregated Account do not belong to SportsClash, and are not available to creditors of SportsClash, except for players whose funds are held in such account.

SportsClash will take appropriate steps to prevent unauthorized withdrawals from consumer accounts. Users are subject to possible automated Knowledge Base Authentication (“KBA”) verification process as well as other possible verification processes. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a customer, SportsClash can and does require its users to produce a copy of their driver’s license, credit cards, utility bills or passport for identity verification. If a customer cannot validate their identity and account, SportsClash will not release the funds from the account. Once per month, SportsClash shall reconcile all liabilities owed to users and the sum of funds or credits in the Segregated Account, the PayPal Account, and credits due to SportsClash from credit card processors as of the end date of the immediately preceding month.

Players who believe that funds held by or their accounts with SportsClash Inc. have been misallocated, compromised or otherwise mishandled, may register a complaint with SportsClash online by e-mailing support@sportsclash.com or in writing to 5314 S Yale, Suite 420 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74135. SportsClash shall use its best efforts to respond to such complaints within ten (10) days. If SportsClash determines that the relief requested in the complaint will not be granted, its response will set forth the specific reasons, therefore. If more information is required for SportsClash Inc. to process the complaint, the response will note the form and nature of the necessary additional information needed.

A player can request to withdraw funds from their account at any time. Requests for withdrawal will be honored by the later of five business days or ten business days of submission of any tax reporting paperwork required by law, unless SportsClash believes in good faith that the player engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put SportsClash in violation of Oklahoma state law. A request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by SportsClash but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account. Players can also permanently close their account at any time for any reason through the SportsClash customer service department.

TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION

In addition to any other legal or equitable remedy, SportsClash may, without prior notice, immediately revoke any or all of your rights granted hereunder. In such event, you will immediately cease all access to and use of the SportsClash Website. SportsClash may revoke any password(s) and/or account identification issued to you and deny you access to and use of the Website. Any such action shall not affect any rights and obligations arising prior thereto. All provisions of the Terms of Use which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity and limitations of liability.
