PLEASE READ ALL THE TERMS CAREFULLY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.

1.2. Changes to the Terms. We may amend, change, modify or revise the Terms at any time, and we may post a notice on our platform at (“Platform”) of any material changes, and you can see when these Terms were last revised by referring to the “Updated” legend above.

Your continued participation in Competitions and/or use of App or Services means you accept any new or modified Terms. You are responsible for reviewing the Terms for any changes, so please check back here from time to time.

1.3. Eligibility. You may not modify these Terms except in writing signed by both you and Goodmates. For purposes of these Terms, “writing” does not mean an email nor an electronic/facsimile signature.

1.4. Registration. When you create an Account, you will be asked for a legitimate email address that you control and to create a password. After registration, you will be given the opportunity to create a username or accept a username given by the Services. The password and username are needed to participate in the Services.

As a registered user, you can update your account settings, including your email address, by logging into your Goodmates Account inside any Goodmates-enabled game and clicking “Account Settings”. Also, if you forget either your password or username, you can visit the Platform or email us for help.

Please keep your username and password secret because you are responsible for all activity in your Account. Although we may offer a feature that allows you to “save” or “remember” your password, this feature makes it possible for third parties to access your Account, so please use that feature prudently because such use is at your own risk. We may, in our sole discretion, reject, change, suspend and/or terminate your username.

1.5. Your Account. As the holder of your Account, you are solely responsible for complying with these Terms, and only you are entitled to all benefits accruing thereto. You may not allow any other person to (i) access your Account; (ii) access Services or App through your Account; or (iii) accept or use prizes, winnings and other representative of value (including without limitation digital trophies, virtual currency or virtual goods) (collectively “Winnings”).

Neither your Account nor Winnings nor any Digital Assets (defined in Section 10.3) are transferable to any other person or account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or identification or any other breach or threatened breach of our security or the security of your Account in any Goodmates-enabled game.

1.6. Personal Location Data: As a part of this service, on behalf of our developer partners, we collect location information from your device. If you would like to opt out of having this information collected, you can disable location access to any game with the Goodmates SDK through the Settings menu on your mobile device.

1.7. Use of Information Collected: By upgrading an account and providing an email address, users authorize Goodmates to provide them with important announcements, relevant promotions, and other related communications relating to the Service, App and Competitions. Users will always have the opportunity to opt out of these communications at any time.

1.8 Employee Policy: Goodmates employees may use the Services and/or App for the purpose of testing the user experience, but may not withdraw money. Goodmates contractors, affiliates, or partners may use the Platform, Services and/or App without such limitation, but only if they do not have any access to non-public information relating to the Services and/or App that would lead to any advantage in their play using the Services and/or App.

2.1. The Services. On behalf of our developer partners, we may, with or without notice to you:

(1) modify, suspend or terminate your access to the Platform, Services and/or App for any reason without liability; and

(2) interrupt the operation of the Platform, Services and/or App as necessary to perform maintenance, error correction, or other work. As agent for our developer partners, we may suspend and/or close the account of any user who violates, or whom we reasonably believe may be in violation of or will violate, these Terms, at any time without notice and without liability. Also, and without limiting our other rights or remedies, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if you have violated these Terms, as agent for our developer partners, we may determine that your Winnings, if any, will be forfeited, disgorged or recouped.

2.2.

If you do not download the App, you will not be able to participate in Competitions or receive relevant Services. Whether you download the App directly or from a third party, such as via an app store, your use of the App is subject to these Terms. 

2.3. Remote Access and Updates. We and/or our developer partners choose to offer technical support for App from time to time in our discretion. Such technical support may require that we or our developer partners remotely access your device on which the App is installed (“Device”).

Also, if and when our developer partners update the App or deploy patches, updates, and modifications to the Goodmates SDK integrated into the App, as applicable, we may do so through remote access of your Device without your knowledge. You hereby consent to these activities. You acknowledge that if we or our developer partners cannot remotely access your Device, then the App may no longer work, and this may prevent you from participating in Competitions or otherwise receiving Services.

We and/or our developer partners’ access to your Device will be limited solely to (i) providing support (ii) updating the App or (iii) determining your location for skill-gaming regulatory purposes only, and is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.

We have no responsibility to enforce these terms for the benefit of any user.

Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties; as such the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you in its entirety.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER WE, NOR OUR DEVELOPER PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS, WILL 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, THE PLATFORM OR ANY INFORMATION, SERVICES, PRODUCTS OR APP MADE AVAILABLE OR ACCESSIBLE TO YOU, WHETHER BASED ON A CLAIM OR ACTION OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER TORT, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY, INDEMNITY OR CONTRIBUTION OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE OR OUR DEVELOPER PARTNERS, THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LIABILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OUR MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED A STANDARD AMOUNT. THE EXISTENCE OF ONE OR MORE CLAIMS BY YOU WILL NOT INCREASE OUR LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR DEVELOPER PARTNERS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS HAVE ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO OUR PRODUCTS, INFORMATION OR SERVICES.

Certain jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability for incidental, consequential or certain other types of damages; as such, the limitations and exclusions set forth in this Section may not apply to you.

13.1. General. This Section applies to any Dispute except for Disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, action or other controversy between you and us concerning these Terms, the Services or any product, service or information we make available to you, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

In the event of a Dispute, you or we must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to Goodmates Customer Support, 1061 Market Street, 6th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address. You and we will attempt to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, either you or we may commence arbitration. You may also litigate any Dispute in small claims court in your county of residence or San Francisco, California, if the Dispute meets all requirements to be heard in the small claims court. You may litigate in small claims court whether or not you negotiated informally first.

13.2. Binding arbitration. If you and we do not resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, any other effort to resolve the Dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this Section. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

13.3. Class action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor we will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. If this waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then it won’t apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.

(ii) obliging the other party to participate in the arbitration proceedings,

(iii) requesting any type of conservative or interim measure in connection with the dispute prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal,

(iv) requesting the appearance of witnesses and/or experts, and/or

(v) requesting that any information and/or documentation discovery be complied with. By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, you understand that you are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a claim or Dispute were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this arbitration provision, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal, the right bring a claim as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and the right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.

13.5. Claims or Disputes. Must be filed within one year. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or Dispute under these Terms must be filed within one year from the date of the cause of action. If a claim or dispute isn’t filed within one year, it’s permanently barred.

13.6. Equitable Relief. You agree that we would be irreparably damaged if these Terms were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy we may have at law, and notwithstanding our agreement to arbitrate Disputes, we are entitled without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to seek appropriate equitable remedies with respect to your violation of these Terms in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13.7 Language of the Terms: If we provide a translated version of these Terms, the User Terms of Service, the Developer Terms and Conditions of Service, the Affiliate Program Terms of Service, the Goodmates Privacy Policy, or any other terms or policy, it is for informational purposes only. If the translated version means something different than the English version, then the English meaning will be the one that applies.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or other arrangements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. These Terms cannot be modified by you, and may only be modified by us as provided above. Our failure to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of our right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The provisions of these Terms are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of these Terms shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect. Section titles in these Terms are for reference only and have no legal effect.

No right or remedy of ours shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and expenses. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms or transfer any rights to use the Services or App. You consent to our providing you notifications about the Services or information the law requires us to provide via email to the address that you specified when you created your Account. Notices emailed to you will be deemed given and received when the email is sent. If you do not consent to receive notices electronically, you must close your Account. These Terms are solely for your and our benefit, and not for the benefit of any other person, except for our successors and assigns.

A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
