In such cases, we may, at our sole discretion, close or restrict your Account as we deem appropriate, or decide, to not award Coins or redeem prizes.

DISCLAIMERS
In conjunction with any of our partners, we strive to keep the Platform up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and we are not responsible or liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICES, INCLUDING THE PLATFORM, SOCIAL CASINO AND/OR SWEEPSTAKES, PRODUCTS, INFORMATION AND DATA PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE BY US AND/OR OUR PARTNERS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DIGITAL ASSETS AND SOFTWARE) ARE "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK WITH RESPECT THERETO. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THAT THE SOCIAL CASINO, SWEEPSTAKES, SERVICES, YOUR ACCOUNT, SOFTWARE, THE PLATFORM AND/OR DIGITAL ASSETS WILL BE SECURE, VIRUS-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE SAME WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IN COMBINATION WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY COMPONENT, TECHNOLOGY, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE OR SYSTEM.

Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties; as such the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you in its entirety.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
13.1. General Limitation. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATEVER WILL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES, OR OUR RESPECTIVE PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS, BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER ENTITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS AND LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST REVENUE, INCOME, GOODWILL, USE OF DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, IN EACH CASE THAT RESULT FROM OR RELATE IN ANY MANNER TO YOUR PARTICIPATION OR ANY OTHER ACT OR OMISSION BY US.
13.2. Monetary Limitation. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, AND OUR RESPECTIVE PARTNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUBCONTRACTORS OR SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE THIRTY (30) DAYS (NOT TO EXCEED $1,000) IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US ANY AMOUNTS IN THE THIRTY (30) DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH US IS TO STOP USING THE PLATFORM, SOCIAL CASINO AND/OR SWEEPSTAKES AND TO CLOSE YOUR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT.
13.3 Material Term. YOU RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION 15 ARE MATERIAL AND BARGAINED FOR BASES OF THESE TERMS AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AND REFLECTED IN THE DECISION BY YOU TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS. Depending on where you reside and use the Platform, some of the limitations contained in Section 15 may not be permissible. In such case, they will not apply to you, solely to the extent so prohibited.
13.4 Negligence and Willful Misconduct. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS WILL OPERATE SO AS TO EXCLUDE ANY LIABILITY OF YAYZ FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL PHYSICAL INJURY THAT IS DIRECTLY AND PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY YAYZ'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
13.5 Survival of Obligations. SECTION 15 SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS FOR ANY REASON.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS
14.1 Arbitration. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 16 CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT MAY REQUIRE YOU AND YAYZ TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND YAYZ CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. If you reside in or access the Platform at any time while located in the United States, this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate on an Individual Basis) shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms. By agreeing to these Terms, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Yayz agree that any and all past, present and future disputes, claims or causes of action between you and Yayz arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, the Application, the Platform, the Social Casino, the Sweepstakes, your Account, the Software, the Rules, the formation of these Terms or any other dispute between you and Yayz or any of Yayz's licensors, distributors, suppliers or agents, and whether arising prior to or after your agreement to this Section 16, (collectively, "Dispute(s)") will be governed by the procedure outlined below. You and Yayz further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Section 16 shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Dispute" or "Disputes" excludes any controversy related to the enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights, which shall not be subject to the arbitration provisions of this Section 16.
14.2 Informal Dispute Resolution. Yayz wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal Dispute. Before filing a claim against Yayz, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting Customer Support via this form or by addressing a written letter via U.S. Mail to 6625 Badura Ave, Las Vegas NV 89118. (Attn: Legal Department). Similarly, if you have provided an email address to us as part of your Account registration, Yayz agrees to do the same. If a Dispute is not resolved within 60 days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you or Yayz may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below.
14.3. We Both Agree to Arbitrate. By agreeing to these Terms, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Yayz each and both agree to resolve any Disputes - including any Dispute concerning the enforceability, validity, scope or severability of this agreement to arbitrate - through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein.
14.4. Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting arbitrationoptout@yayz.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name, email address and postal address) decline this arbitration agreement. By opting out of the agreement to arbitrate, you will not be precluded from using the Platform, but you and Yayz will not be permitted to invoke the mutual agreement to arbitrate to resolve Disputes under the Terms otherwise provided herein. For avoidance of doubt, in the event you exercise your right to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, those limitations and restrictions applicable to litigation that are set out in Section 16.11 shall continue to apply to you. In addition, if you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate and at the time of your receipt of these Terms you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate disputes arising out of or related to your use of or access to the Platform, that existing arbitration agreement will remain in full force and effect. In other words, if you are bound by an agreement to arbitrate at the time you opt out of this one, that prior agreement to arbitrate will continue to apply to you.
14.5 Arbitration Procedures and Fees. You and Yayz agree that JAMS ("JAMS") will administer the arbitration under its Streamlined Rules in effect at the time arbitration is sought ("JAMS Rules"). Those rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules; provided that the parties shall be presented with a list of five potential arbitrators and shall rank those potential arbitrators in order of preference. JAMS shall select the arbitrator with the highest combined preference (e.g., if both parties select a potential arbitrator as their top preference, that arbitrator will be selected). You and Yayz further agree that, unless and only to the extent prohibited under JAMS Rules, the arbitration will be held in Wilmington, Delaware, or, at either your or our election, will be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available to you in an individual lawsuit and that are not waivable under applicable law. Each party shall initially bear its own attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator may award to a prevailing party reimbursement of their reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and travel expenses) to the same extent a court applying the law governing the claim or Dispute could.
14.6 Proceedings Requiring Three Arbitrators. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in Section 16.5, if a party either seeks a monetary award in excess of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or seeks an equitable form of relief that would significantly impact other Yayz users, in each case as reasonably determined by either party, the parties agree that such arbitration will proceed on an individual basis but will be handled by a panel of three (3) arbitrators and take place pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Comprehensive Rules"). Each party shall select one neutral arbitrator, with the third neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Rules. That third arbitrator shall serve as chair of the arbitral panel and must be a retired judge with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. In the event of disagreement as to whether the threshold for a three-arbitrator panel has been met, the sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with this Sections 16.5 and 16.6 shall make that determination. If the arbitrator determines a three-person panel is appropriate, the arbitrator may - if selected by either party or through the JAMS selection process - participate in the arbitral panel. You and Yayz agree that any award issued by a three-arbitrator panel may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures at either party's election.
14.7 Batch Arbitration. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 25 or more similar arbitration demands against Yayz, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization or group of law firms or organizations working in coordination, are submitted to JAMS, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines ("JAMS Mass Rules") shall apply. In such event, the JAMS Process Administrator (as described in the JAMS Mass Rules) shall have the authority to implement the procedures set forth in the JAMS Mass Rules, including the authority to batch together individual arbitration demands into a single coordinated proceeding. All provisions of this Section 16.7 that are not in conflict with the JAMS Mass Rules, including the qualifications for the arbitrators, shall continue to apply.
14.8. Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR YAYZ SHALL BE ENTITLED: TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES; TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY GROUP, CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR MASS ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION (EXCEPT SOLELY AS JUST STATED IN SECTION 16.7); TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS; TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY; OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK TO RECOVER LOSSES OR DAMAGES (WHETHER FOR YOURSELF OR OTHERS) INCURRED BY A THIRD PARTY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF SECTIONS 16.6, 16.7 OR 16.8 OF THIS SECTION 16 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS) ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE IN A PARTICULAR DISPUTE, THEN THE PARTIES' AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (BUT NOT THOSE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 16 APPLICABLE TO LITIGATION) MAY BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT FOR PURPOSES OF THAT DISPUTE, UPON EITHER PARTY'S ELECTION.
14.9 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate for Temporary Relief. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate on an Individual Basis), either you or we may bring an action in a court as authorized by Section 16.8 for temporary injunctive relief until an arbitrator has been empaneled and can determine whether to continue, terminate or modify such relief.
14.10 Claims or Disputes Must Be Filed within Two Years. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or Dispute under these Terms must be filed within two years from the date it accrues. If a claim or Dispute isn't filed within two years, it is permanently barred.
14.11. Choice of Laws. For any dispute, including any petitions to compel arbitration, if you reside or use our Platform in the U.S., these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S., without regard to conflict of law principles thereof. For all disputes not subject to arbitration, You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S. and waive any objections as to personal jurisdiction or as to the laying of venue in such courts due to: (i) inconvenient forum or (ii) any other basis or any right to seek to transfer or change venue of any such action to another court.
MISCELLANEOUS
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, in the course of legal proceedings concerning a Dispute between you and us, any provision of these Terms shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision shall be ineffective for purposes of that Dispute to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner 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 Social Casino and/or Sweepstakes, Platform, or Software. You consent to our providing you notifications about the Social Casino and/or Sweepstakes 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.
Please send any questions or comments (including all inquiries unrelated to copyright infringement) to: support@yayz.com. Please print these Terms for your records. All other rights in these Terms are reserved.
