F. Financial Risk Disclaimers

Please read and carefully consider the following:

• Participation in a Contest (as defined below) involves an element of financial risk and may be addictive. Please play responsibly and at your own risk.

I. Staking

If you choose to participate in staking activities provided through our App, either as a player (backed by others) or as a backer/supporter of players, you agree to be bound by these Terms. Please see Section 5 of these Terms, "Terms of Staking."

J. Staking Explained

Staking is a feature within our App that allows users to financially support or "back" players in video game competitions. As a backer, you contribute funds towards a player's entry fee in exchange for a potential share of their winnings. If you choose to participate as a player, you may receive backing from other users to cover your entry fees. Staking is purely for entertainment purposes and carries inherent risks, including the possibility of losing your entire staked amount if the backed player does not win. All staking activities are subject to these Terms and as more specifically provided in Section 5 of these Terms. It is important that you know that staking activities carry inherent risks. Users may lose their entire staked amount.

Staking is a high-risk activity. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You may lose your entire staked amount. Please always ensure that you stake responsibly.

Staking is purely for entertainment purposes, is based on a contract between the player and their backers/supporters and should not be considered in investment or financial product.

2. User Account

A. Registration and Username

To register for a user account ("Account"), you must provide a valid email address that you personally control. You will be asked to create a password and be given the opportunity to create username. Please ensure that the username and password are kept secret, as you are responsible for all activity associated with your Account. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, with or without notice, to reject, change, suspend, modify, or terminate your username.

B. Use of the Account

You are the holder of the Account and are the sole person responsible for complying with these Terms. You are also the sole person entitled to the benefits associated with using the Account. You are prohibited from allowing any other person to (i) access your Account; (ii) use the Services through your Account; (iii) accept or use any prizes or other winnings. Your Account is not transferrable to any other person and may not be merged with any other account.

C. Age Verification

Before creating an Account or participating in any competitions, you must verify your age through our age verification process. This process may include, but is not limited to:

• Providing a valid government-issued ID;
• Submitting to a third-party age verification service; and/or
• Any other method we deem necessary to confirm your age.

You agree to provide accurate and truthful information for age verification purposes. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if we have reason to believe you have misrepresented your age or if you fail to complete the age verification process.

D. Account Misuse and Multi-Accounting

You agree that the sole and specific purpose of creating an Account for our Services is to participate in Contests and engage in authorized activities on our platform. We may suspend, limit, deactivate, or terminate your Account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are violating these Terms; violating or conspiring to violate any local, state, or federal law or regulation; depositing funds without the intention of using them in Contests; violating, or causing us to violate any agreement we have with any third party, including payment processors and other financial institutions; or otherwise abusing or misusing the Services in any way whatsoever. We may also report such activity to relevant authorities and/or third parties (including, but not limited to, our vendors and partners, payment processors, banks, and credit card companies) and provide any and all of your personal, financial, banking, or other information we possess or have access.

Each User may establish only one (1) Account. Users are strictly prohibited from “co-owning” or sharing Accounts. Users may not use or in any way control or influence another person's Account. Users shall not direct, control, or otherwise use another User's Account in any manner whatsoever, including as a proxy for the User's own Account, to make Contest entries, or to evade any restrictions, limitations, or suspensions placed on the User's own Account. Furthermore, Users may not use, direct, or control any Account other than their own for any purpose, including, but not limited to, avoiding Account limits, suspensions, responsible gaming related limitations, evading other Account restriction(s) whether self-imposed or imposed by us, or abusing promotional or bonus offerings, such as referral bonuses, for which each Account is eligible. The Account misuses and duplications described in this section shall collectively be referred to as “Multi-Accounting.” Multi-Accounting is a violation of these Terms and may also violate state laws or regulations in many of the jurisdictions in which we operate. In the event that we, in our sole and unlimited discretion, determine that you have engaged in Multi-Accounting, then, in addition to any other rights that we may have at law, equity, or created herein, we reserve the right to: (i) suspend or terminate any or all of your Accounts (and all other Accounts associated with the Multi-Accounting); (ii) cancel any pending or in-progress entries made on the Accounts associated with the Multi-Accounting; (iii) demand and/or seize all funds earned by you by participating in Contests during the time period of the Multi-Accounting; (iv) terminate, withhold, or revoke the awarding of any prizes, including prizes that you have already withdrawn from your Account; (v) seize or remove all promotional balances, bonuses, or free entries previously awarded to each Account(s); (vi) seize all real-money funds in the Account(s) at issue or earned by the User(s) at issue during the course of Multi-Accounting; and (vii) report you to any relevant authorities for violation of state laws and regulations.

5. The App

A. Description and Nature of the App

The App provides you with the opportunity to sponsor professional esports players in skill-based video game competitions against other players. ANY COMPETITION, TOURNAMENT, GAMEPLAY, OR OFFER IS STRICTLY VOID AND OF NO EFFECT IN ANY STATE, COUNTRY, OR OTHER JURISDICTION THAT PROHIBITS, RESTRICTS, OR REQUIRES A LICENSE FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES. Notwithstanding any status, no prize is awarded to winners who are younger than eighteen (18) years of age or participate from any Restricted Jurisdiction (as defined below) or participate from a jurisdiction where the awarding of a prize based on the participant's results in the competition is prohibited, illegal, or otherwise restricted.

The competitions that you may sponsor or fund through our App are skill-based contests. The outcome of these competitions is determined by the relative skill, knowledge, and experience of the players, rather than by chance. While there may be elements of chance involved inherent in the video game competitions, skill is the predominant factor in determining the results. Players' success depends on their ability to strategize, make decisions, and execute gameplay techniques effectively.

You understand that we may rely on your representation, you are registering for an Account, using the App, and the Services at your own sole discretion and assume all associated risk. You further acknowledge and understand that you are not relying on us for any warranty or other representation regarding your compliance with applicable law, and you further acknowledge and understand that no representative of ours has the ability or the authority to make such a representation. Your ability to download the App and use the Services in your location does not mean that your actives are legal and we make no representation that your ability to download the App and use the Services constitute any sort of legal compliance. Further, you agree to comply with our Anti-Harassment Policy and understand that any violation of our Anti-Harassment Policy may result in suspension, closure, or revocation of your Account, forfeiture of any funds and/or prizes associated with your Account, and other actions against you as may be permitted by applicable law, including but not limited to civil legal action and potential referral for criminal prosecution. We retain the sole and final discretion to determine whether our Anti-Harassment Policy was violated.

You acknowledge and agree that the competitions that you may sponsor through our App are skill-based contests. By using our App, you represent that you understand the nature of these competitions, the funding/sponsorship/staking mechanism,. You are responsible for assessing your own participation, as well as making informed decisions about your participation.

Before participating in any staking activities, you must verify that your participation complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. You agree to complete any additional verification steps we may require to confirm your eligibility based on your location. We reserve the right to restrict or prohibit your participation based on your jurisdiction's laws.

C. Video Game Competitions and Tournaments

The App is a platform that connects esports professionals with fans/backers to sponsor the professionals' entry fees in exchange for a share of the potential prize. We do not host any gameplay on any platform, nor do we have control over the gameplay, communication, or activity of any player.

E. Third-party Streaming Services

Our competitions may involve broadcasting or streaming gameplay on Twitch or other comparable streaming or broadcasting service. You assume sole responsibility with respect to your interaction with such streaming, registration for an account, and compliance with all applicable terms and conditions. We have no control over any streaming service, its integrity, stability, functionality, others' (including players and spectators) interactions with you or the streaming service.

F. Release of Rights in Stream or Broadcast

Unless otherwise agreed to in an express separate writing signed by you and us, using our Services and our App, including the streaming or broadcast of any gameplay, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive license to use, record, rebroadcast, and otherwise utilize any portion of such stream or broadcast, or your interactions therewith for our promotional efforts, internal record keeping, compliance, and any other purpose. You agree to waive all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the stream or broadcast, and you agree to release us from any claims related to the use of the stream or broadcast.

G. Account Funding and Fees

You may add funds to your Account by making payment via an authorized payment method. We have the sole right to determine acceptable payment methods and to impose conditions, including additional fees, for the use of certain payment methods. Upon confirmation of payment, your Account will be credited with the amount of money you have paid. You may use the money deposited solely for the payment of entry fees for applicable competitions. Entry fees are payable in U.S. dollars. All entry fees are deemed prepaid and are a prerequisite to your participation in any competition. All entry fees paid in connection with a competition are final and you are not entitled to a refund of those fees for any reason. Any funds that were deposited to your Account, but not used to pay for entry fees may be withdrawn upon request provided that you have interacted with and sponsored at least one (1) competition. This play-through requirement is to ensure our compliance with anti-money laundering standards. Withdrawal requests are subject to our verification and due diligence process, and we reserve the right to seek any additional information from you before approving your withdrawal request in compliance with all applicable laws (including anti-fraud and anti-money laundering laws). Once the withdrawal request is approved, you will receive funds via a designated payment method.

Staking-related fees are governed by these Terms and the rules applicable to the Staked Events (as defined in Section 5).

H. Account Inactivity Fee

If you have not entered a Contest, made a Deposit or Withdrawal, or submitted a support ticket for 18 consecutive months, your Account will be deemed inactive. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we will charge a fee of $4.00 per month on all inactive Accounts until the Account is reactivated or has a $0.00 balance. We will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to the first deduction of fees.

I. Third-Party Payment Processors

We use third-party payment processors to handle deposits and withdrawals. By using our services, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of these payment processors. We are not responsible for any errors or issues caused by these third-party services, except in cases of gross negligence on our part.

J. Currency

All transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, contest entries, and prizes, are denominated in U.S. Dollars (USD). Users are responsible for any currency conversion fees imposed by their financial institutions for transactions in currencies other than USD.

K. Refund Policy

L. Deposits and Contest Entry

Funds deposited into your account must be used exclusively for sponsorship and staking activities on the platform. Any unused deposited funds may be withdrawn subject to our withdrawal policies provided that the play-through requirements set forth above have been met.

M. Prizes

The winners of various staking-related competitions may be awarded cash prizes. The amount of the cash prize is disclosed to the players and predetermined ahead of the start of each competition. Once a competition concludes, we will conduct an internal review to ensure fairness and technical soundness. Once our verification process concludes, and subject to our right to request additional information and these Terms, we will notify the winners and issue them their prizes via designated payment method as may be agreed to by you and us.

N. Taxes

If you are a United States resident, we may send you an IRS Form W-9 and 1099-MISC or other appropriate form if your prizes total $600 or more in any given calendar year. Depending on the state in which you reside, we may also send you additional federal or state tax forms. Without limiting the foregoing, we may withhold from your prizes any amount required to be withheld by applicable laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation, but at all times you remain solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes in accordance with all applicable laws in your state, country, and jurisdiction.

O. Contest Results and Dispute Resolution

Contest results will be posted after each contest ends, typically 20-30 minutes after the conclusion of the contest. However, all results remain subject to final verification. Once winners are notified and prizes are awarded, the scoring results will not be changed regardless of any official adjustments made by professional leagues or other governing bodies, though we reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to us from our stats provider or in our calculation of results.

If you believe there has been an error in scoring or results, you must contact our support team at support@1v1me.com within 24 hours of the contest's completion. Please provide as much detail as possible about the alleged error, including any relevant evidence or documentation.

We will investigate all properly submitted disputes and make a determination in our sole discretion. Our decisions regarding contest results and scoring are final and binding. We may, at our discretion, make adjustments to contest results if we determine there has been a clear and verifiable error in scoring or data transmission.

We take every effort to ensure accurate, up-to-date scoring is applied across all contests. However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of any scoring or stat corrections.

By participating in our Services, you agree to this dispute resolution process and acknowledge that any decision by us regarding contest results are final.

P. Bonus and Promotional Funds

As part of our promotional efforts, we may from time to time issue bonus or promotional funds that may be used for sponsorship and/or staking and may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which will be presented at the time of the offer. These bonus or promotional funds cannot be withdrawn, transferred, or converted into cash or any other asset for any reason. Unless otherwise stated, promotional credits or bonuses cannot be withdrawn as cash and must be used for contest entries. Unused promotional credits or bonuses may expire after a specified period. We reserve the right to set the rules for the use of such bonus or promotional funds. In the event that you have any bonus or promotional funds associated with your Account at the time that you request a withdrawal of funds from your Account, you agree to forfeit all such associated bonus or promotional funds.

Q. Additional Information, Withholding, and Forfeiture

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to request additional information from you before issuing a prize or any payment to you. Such additional information may be personally identifying information, such as your name, address, and social security number, to enable us to comply with our obligations under applicable tax laws. If you do not or refuse to provide the requested information, any prizes that you may have won will be forfeited. Additionally, we reserve the right to review each competition, verify your information and the information that you have provided, and conduct all due diligence that we may deem necessary before issuing your prize. The time that the review and verification process varies on a case-by-case basis, and shall be conducted in our sole discretion with no obligation or liability to you. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that the fairness or integrity of the competition was compromised, there was a technical issue, malfunction, or other problem that affected the outcome, we reserve the right to cancel the competition, cancel all prizes, and refund the entry fees to all participating players. Notwithstanding this provision, any violation of these Terms by you also permits us to freeze your Account and cause you to forfeit any deposited funds or any prizes, with or without prior notice.

Additionally, your account balance will be reduced by the amount of the chargeback. If this results in a negative balance, you agree that this constitutes a debt owed to us, payable immediately. Your Account will also be permanently banned, and subject to our sole and absolute discretion, you will be prohibited from using our Services in the future.

Z. No Limitation on Remedies

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

We are not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries. If for any reason a competition is not capable of running as originally planned, or if a competition, computer application, or website associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper entry to a competition in accordance with these Terms or applicable 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 our sole opinion corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a competition, we reserve the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the competition, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received.

6. Terms of Staking

A. In General

• Staking Features. The staking features of our App are governed by these terms, which are integrated into and form part of our Terms of Service. These features are provided solely for entertainment purposes and are not intended as investment products or for profit-seeking activities.
• Definition of Staking. In general, staking involves backing and supporting a particular player or team by contributing to their entry fee in a competition, tournament, or other event.
• Compliance with Local Laws. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in Staking Events complies with all applicable local, state, and federal laws.
• Player Participation. Players may choose to participate in staked video game events (“**Staked Events**”). We retain sole discretion in determining eligible players, games, and event rules. By registering for a Staked Event, you agree to abide by our decisions, which are final. Participation is voluntary and does not affect your use of other App features.
• Backer/Supporter Participation. You may use the staking feature to back or support third-party players or teams in Staked Events. This participation is voluntary and does not impact your use of other App features.
• Relationship Limitations. Your obligations in Staked Events are solely to us, as outlined in these terms. You have no rights, obligations, or relationships with other players, teams, or users participating in Staked Events, regardless of your role as a competitor or backer/supporter.
• Entertainment Purposes. Participation in Staked Events, whether as a player or backer/supporter, is for entertainment only. You acknowledge the inherent risk of performance variability and agree that backing a player or team constitutes a contract and purchasing entertainment for personal consumption, without entitlement to refunds, returns, profits, or other gains.
• Risk Assumption and Legal Fees. You waive any claims against us and out affiliates or other participants related to disappointment, poor performance, perceived player mistakes, or similar reasons in Staked Events. Should you initiate legal action against us, our affiliates, or other players regarding Staked Events, you agree to pay our actual attorney fees and costs incurred in defense or response to such action.
• Right to Refuse. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any stake at our sole discretion, without providing a reason.
• Data Usage. We may collect and use data related to Staking Events for any purpose including our services and marketing. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

B. Staking Events

• Rules, Seeding, and Final Decisions. For all Staked Events, we will organize and administer the event, including establishing rules and parameters, seeding, and making any final decisions in the event of a dispute. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to disqualify players or teams for violations of our Terms of Service or any event-specific rules, including but not limited to cheating. By participating in any Staked Event, you agree to be subject to our sole and final discretion.
• Event Cancellation. We reserve the right to cancel, postpone, or modify any Staking Event at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
• Entry Fees. Each Staked Event will have an entry fee. Players or teams participating in the Staked Event will not be responsible for paying the entry fee, unless our Staked Event rules provide otherwise. In general, backers/supporters will be responsible for “staking” their chosen player or team in exchange for a percentage of any prize the player or team may win, proportional to the amount staked. If a player or team does not secure enough backers/supporters to cover the entry fee, we may stake any shortfall without additional obligations to the player/team or their backers/supporters. We also reserve the right to add amounts to a prize pool, add stakes or backing to any player or team, or offer support to any participant(s) without obligation to any other participant, backer/supporter, or person.
• Stake Limits. We may, at our sole discretion, set or change maximum and minimum stake amounts for any Staking Event.
• Variable Winnings Events. Some Staked Events may offer variable winnings options that depend on the total stakes contributed towards a specific team or player. As the staked amount for a particular player or team increases, your potential share of the winnings may decrease. These events will be clearly marked. As a backer or supporter, you understand and agree that your share of any potential winnings is not finalized and may change up until the start of the Staked Event. Your potential winnings will never be less than or equal to your stake. By participating in a variable winnings staked event, you expressly waive any claims against us related to such changes. You also agree that staked amounts are not refundable for any reason, including changes to the potential winnings amount.
• Organizational Fees. To cover the cost of Staked Event administration, we will assess a 10% upfront fee on any payment made by a backer/supporter. We may also assess additional overage fees if a particular event exceeds 100% entry fee staking.
• Backer/Supporter Staking. Any person may contribute a set amount of funds towards a player or team's entry fee as a “stake.” We reserve the right to set a maximum stake and to label events/players/teams as “sold out” and not accepting further backers/supporters. **WE ALSO MAY DISQUALIFY A STAKE FOR ANY REASON IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION** **AND REFUND THE STAKED AMOUNT**. The stake (less the organizational fee and any additional fees) will go towards the payment of the particular Staked Event entry fee and entitle the backer/supporter to a proportional amount of the prize or purse if their backed player or team wins. For example, if the entry fee is $90, and a backer/supporter contributes $10, $9 ($10 less 10% organizational fee) is applied towards the entry fee. This $9 constitutes 10% of the total entry fee and entitles the backer/supporter to 10% of any eventual prize or purse. This example does not account for potential overage fees or variable winnings scenarios.
• Due Diligence. It is your sole responsibility to conduct due diligence on players or teams before staking .we do not endorse or guarantee the performance of any player or team.
• Disqualification and Refunds. If a staked team or player is late to the Staked Event or is disqualified for any reason, the backers/supporters will receive a refund of all funds contributed, including the organizational fees charged by us, subject to our sole discretion and dependent upon the specific circumstances of any disqualification.
• Intellectual Property. All aspects of our Staking Events, including but not limited to the staking system, algorithms, and user interface, are our exclusive intellectual property.

C. Prizes and Payouts

• Prize Distribution. For Staked Events, prizes will be distributed to winning players or teams. The total prize amount for each event will be clearly stated before the event begins. Prizes may include cash or other rewards as specified for each event.
• Backer/Supporter Payouts. If a player or team you have backed wins a prize, you will receive a payout proportional to your stake, less applicable fees. Your payout will be calculated based on your percentage contribution to the total entry fee. For example, if you contributed 10% of the entry fee, you would be entitled to 10% of the prize won by that player or team. Please see Section 5(b)(v) “Backer/Supporter Staking” above for further details and an example.
• Payout Process. Payouts will be processed within a reasonable timeframe after the conclusion of the Staked Event and verification of results. We reserve the right to delay payouts in case of disputes, technical issues, or other circumstances that require additional verification.
• Taxes and Reporting. You are solely responsible for any taxes that may apply to your winnings. We may require you to provide necessary information for tax reporting purposes. Failure to provide accurate information may result in withholding of payouts or other consequences as required by law.
• Forfeiture of Prizes. If a winning player or team is disqualified after the event for any reason, including but not limited to cheating or violation of event rules, we reserve the right to forfeit and redistribute any prizes. In such cases, backers/supporters of the disqualified player or team may not receive payouts.
• Unclaimed Prizes. Any prizes or payouts that remain unclaimed after a reasonable period (as determined by us) may be forfeited. We will make reasonable efforts to contact winners and distribute payouts, but it is your responsibility to ensure your account information is up to date and to claim your winnings in a timely manner.
• Errors and Adjustments. In the event of any errors in prize calculation or distribution, we reserve the right to correct such errors and adjust payouts accordingly. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate any such adjustments to affected users.
• Arbitration for Staking Disputes. Any disputes arising from or relating to taking Events shall be subject to binding arbitration as outlined in Section 10 of these Terms.
• Time Limitation for a Staking Dispute. Any dispute related to a Staking Event must be raised within 30 days of the event's conclusion.
• Force Majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in administering Staking Events due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to technical failures, natural disasters, or regulatory changes.

D. Changes to Staking Terms

Like these Terms, the Terms of Staking may change from time to time, and your continued participation in the staking aspects of the App indicate your acceptance of our Terms of Staking, as amended, and thus it is important for you to periodically access and review these Terms and Terms of Staking.

E. Staking Disclaimer

Please remember: Staking is a high-risk activity. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You may lose your entire staked amount. Please always ensure that you stake responsibly. Staking is purely for entertainment purposes and should not be considered in investment or financial product.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, OUR AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR ANY RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, OR REPRESENTATIVES, BE LIABLE:

• FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, DIMINUTION IN VALUE OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, CORRUPTION OR BREACH OF DATA OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE PROPERTY OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, INTANGIBLE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH AUTHORIZED OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE OUR SERVICES, APP, OR SOFTWARE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF OURS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ANY AGREED OR OTHER REMEDY OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OF A FINAL DETERMINATION THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE A RESULT OF OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR INTENTIONAL VIOLATION OF LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND/OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE ARE NOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL) OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING THE APP, GOVERNED BY THESE TERMS.

11. Timing of Claims, Resolving Disputes, Arbitration, Class Action Waiver

A. Time Limitation for Claims

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

B. Informal Resolution Process

Before initiating any formal legal action against us, you agree to participate in our mandatory informal resolution process. Within 30 days of the event causing your issue, you must send a detailed written description to support@1v1me.com, either personally or through your authorized legal representative. If represented by counsel, you must provide us with a physically signed document authorizing your counsel to act on your behalf. You agree to participate in a video conference with our representatives to discuss the dispute and attempt resolution. After receiving your notice, we will work with you to schedule the conference at a mutually agreeable time. You must personally participate in the conference, even if represented by counsel. Our representative will also participate, and their counsel may attend.

This informal resolution process may last up to 90 days from initiation. During this time, all statutes of limitations and filing deadlines will be paused. Neither party can waive the conference requirement unless both sides agree in writing. Failure to request and participate in this process will prevent you from recovering damages or initiating legal proceedings against us. Any arbitration or lawsuit filed without completing this process is invalid and subject to immediate dismissal at your own cost. If the dispute remains unresolved after 90 days, either party may proceed with arbitration or small claims court action. This process applies to all claims, including potential mass arbitrations, and is designed to efficiently address disputes while protecting our interests.

C. Binding Arbitration

You agree to resolve any disputes, claims, or controversies with us exclusively through binding arbitration, not in court or by jury. This agreement covers all aspects of our relationship, including these Terms and their interpretation. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement. Before starting arbitration, you must complete the informal dispute resolution process and send a letter requesting arbitration to our registered agent. The arbitration may be conducted by JAMS, NAM, or AAA, with JAMS as the default provider. For claims under $250,000, JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules apply; for larger claims, JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules apply. If you cannot afford the arbitration fees, we will pay them if your claim is not frivolous and you have complied with the dispute resolution process.

The arbitrator has exclusive authority to determine the scope and enforceability of this agreement and to decide the rights and liabilities of both parties. They can award monetary damages and non-monetary relief as allowed by law. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding. All claims must be arbitrated individually, not as a class or representative action. You have the right to opt-out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first using our services by sending a written notice to support@1v1me.com. If you opt-out, we are not bound by these provisions either. However, you remain obligated to follow the informal resolution process. This agreement survives the termination of your relationship with us.

Exceptions to arbitration include claims related to our intellectual property rights, allegations of piracy or privacy invasion brought by us, and claims for equitable relief. By agreeing to these terms, you waive your right to a jury trial and to seek multiplied damages, class-wide relief, or represent others in legal proceedings against us.

D. Class Arbitrations

You agree to waive the right to bring or participate in a Class Arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. A Class Arbitration occurs when we receive 25 or more substantially similar claims within a 60-day period, whether from individuals or through coordinating law firms. In such cases, claims will be processed in batches of up to 50, with half selected by claimants' counsel and half by us. Batches will be processed one at a time until all claims are resolved. A single arbitrator will be assigned to each batch, and a single set of fees will apply per side per batch. You agree to cooperate in implementing this approach for efficient and cost-effective resolution of claims.

If your claim is not selected for the initial batch, it will be delayed until assigned to a subsequent batch. You agree to this process despite potential delays. No arbitration fees will be assessed until your claim is assigned to a pending batch. Unbatched claims cannot proceed until the previous batch is resolved. Payment of arbitration fees and costs will follow applicable class arbitration rules and fee schedules. If you prevail, we will reimburse excess filing fees. If we prevail and the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous or in bad faith, you may be required to reimburse our fees and costs, unless you are a California resident. The arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' and expert fees to the prevailing party.

You agree to waive any right to receive multiplied damages, collective recovery, or class-wide relief. You covenant not to sue for such relief or represent others in legal proceedings. This process applies to all claims, including potential class arbitrations, and is designed to efficiently address disputes while protecting our interests.

E. Class Action Waiver; Jury Trial Waiver

For all claims, controversies, and disputes subject to arbitration under these Terms, you agree to waive all constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial before a judge or jury. Instead, you elect to resolve all claims, disputes, and controversies through arbitration under this Agreement to Arbitrate, except as specified in these Terms. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court on an individual basis and must follow these Terms as a court would. However, arbitration differs from court proceedings: there is no judge or jury, discovery may be more limited, and court review of an arbitration award is very restricted.

You agree to waive any right you may have under any legal theory, statute, regulation, or authority to receive any multiplier of actual losses or damages (including treble damages), any amount on anyone else's behalf, any collective recovery, or any class-wide or state-wide relief. You covenant not to sue for such relief or take any position in any legal proceeding requesting relief on behalf of anyone other than yourself individually. You also agree not to serve as a class representative, class member, or participate in any class, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court. This class action waiver and jury trial waiver are essential parts of our agreement to arbitrate disputes. If a court decides that the class action waiver or jury trial waiver is unenforceable for any claim, then the entire arbitration agreement will be null and void for that claim. This provision shall not apply if you exercise your right to opt-out of arbitration within 30 days of first using our service by sending a written notice to support@1v1me.com.

F. No Limitation on Public Injunctive Relief

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit the right to public injunctive relief and nothing in these Terms actually does limit such right.

12. Copyright, DMCA, and Other Intellectual Property Complaints

A. General

We respect the intellectual property of others and expect our users and players to do the same. If you believe that there has been a violation of your copyright, trademark, or any other intellectual property rights, please follow the procedures in this section to notify us.

B. Process

We will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws. A notification of alleged copyright infringement should be emailed and addressed to 1v1Me Copyright Agent at: support@1v1me.com (Subject Line: "DMCA Takedown Request"). You may also send your DMCA request by United States Postal Service, Federal Express or United Parcel Service to: 1v1Me, Inc. (Attention: DMCA Takedown Request), c/o The Corporation Trust Company, Corporation Trust Center, 1441 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.

• A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed:
• A description of where the material that you allege is infringing is located on our website or within our App, with enough detail that we may find it;
• Your physical mailing address, telephone number and email address;
• A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;
• A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are or represent the copyright to intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf.

D. Counter-Notice

If you receive a notice of infringement from us, and believe that your user content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to our Copyright agent (at the contact information set forth in subsection B above):

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the content; and
• Your name, physical address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the state of Delaware, U.S.A. and a statement that you will accept service of process of that court upon the suit of the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

E. Our Notice to You

If a counter-notice is received by our Copyright Agent, we will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user alleged to have committed copyright infringement, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in fourteen (14) days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

F. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, as may be appropriate and in our sole discretion, the Account and access of users or players who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access and/or terminate the participation of any users or players who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
