Doe – New York, NY”), for purposes of advertising and trade, in any format, medium, or technology now known or later developed without further notice, approval, or compensation, unless prohibited by law.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we reserve the right to display advertisements in connection with your User Content and to use your User Content for advertising, marketing, promotional, and commercial purposes. You acknowledge and agree that your User Content may be included on the websites and advertising networks of our distribution and marketing partners, accounts, and third party service providers (including their downstream users).

XIV. Jurisdiction; Choice of Law; Venue.

These Terms shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any legal proceedings against Poker Now that may arise out of, relate to, or be in any way connected with our Services or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts of New York, New York and you waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

XV. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & MANDATORY ARBITRATION

We each agree to first contact each other with any disputes and provide a written description of the problem, all relevant documents/information, and the proposed resolution. You agree to contact us with disputes by contacting us at the information below. We will contact you based on the contact information you have provided us or that we obtain by other means.

If after thirty (30) days the parties are unable to resolve any dispute raised under the previous provision, the dispute may be submitted to arbitration consistent with this section. The parties understand that they would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court and to have a judge or jury decide their case, but they choose to have any disputes resolved through arbitration.

We each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not signatories to this agreement, whether related to this agreement or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes, and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from JAMS’ website (www.jamsadr.com) or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267.

We are entering into this arbitration agreement in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce. Accordingly, this arbitration agreement and any proceedings thereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction

Exception to Arbitrate: Either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court. Further, pursuant to the “NO CLASS ACTION” section below, we each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and Poker Now, not as part of a classwide claim (i.e., not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the classwide dispute must be brought in court.

NO CLASS ACTIONS

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

NO TRIAL BY JURY

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, BOTH PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

XVI. AMENDMENT; ADDITIONAL TERMS

We reserve the right in our sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, to modify or discontinue any aspect or feature of our Services or to modify these Terms. In addition, we reserve the right to provide you with operating rules or additional terms that may govern your use of the Services generally, unique parts of our Services, or both (“Additional Terms”). Any Additional Terms that we may provide to you will be incorporated by reference into these Terms. To the extent any Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the Additional Terms will control.

Modifications to these Terms or Additional Terms will be effective immediately upon notice, either by posting on our Services or by notification by email or conventional mail. It is your responsibility to review the Terms and our Services from time to time for any changes or Additional Terms. Your access and use of any of our Services following any modification of these Terms or the provision of Additional Terms will signify your assent to and acceptance of the same. If you object to any subsequent revision to the Terms or to any Additional Terms, immediately discontinue use of our Services and Services Content and, if applicable, terminate your Membership.

XVII. RESPONSIBLE PLAY

Our Services are promotional in nature only and will not accept money or anything of value for an opportunity to participate or win a prize if awarded. While our Services provide a peer-to-peer social wagering app, this is not a sportsbook app and we do not collect fees when wagers are made. Moreover, funds are not distributed to and from users from within the Services. Notwithstanding the fact that our Services are for amusement and promotion purposes only, Poker Now recommends the user play responsibly.

If you are on a self-exclusion list, or other patron exclusion list of any jurisdiction applicable to you (which includes any statutory or regulatory exclusion lists or directories where individuals named therein are legally prohibited from playing casino or other related games), we encourage you not to use our Services or games.

Practice or success on our Services does not imply future success at real-money gambling.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, assistance can be accessed by calling or texting the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-522-4700.

XVIII. MISCELLANEOUS

No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.

Except where specifically stated otherwise (e.g., the “DISPUTE RESOLUTION & MANDATORY ARBITRATION” section), if any part of these Terms is unlawful or unenforceable for any reason, we both agree that only that part of the Terms shall be stricken and that the remaining terms in the Terms shall not be affected. So, for example, if a provision in these terms is found to be unenforceable, we agree an arbitrator (or, if permitted, a court) shall only strike that provision and that the remaining terms of these Terms shall remain in force.

These Terms (including any Additional Terms incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

You may not assign these Terms or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any such purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent will be null and void and of no force and effect. We may assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without your consent and without notice.
