All such guidelines and policies constitute part of this Agreement. If you do not agree to any provision in the Terms of Service your only remedy is to discontinue your use of the Services and to cancel any accounts, you have created using the Services.

You may have the opportunity to post your own content through the Services (“User Content”). Under no circumstances will the Company be liable in any way for any User Content, including but not limited to, any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any User Content posted or otherwise transmitted via the Services.

 

By posting any User Content through the Services, you hereby grant the Company a worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully sub-licensable right and license to reproduce, distribute, publish, perform, display, create derivative works of, and otherwise use such User Content (in whole or part) in any form of media now known or later developed. You specifically waive any “moral rights” in and to the User Content.

 

You represent and warrant that you own all User Content you post to or transmit through the Services, or otherwise have the right to grant the licenses and permissions specified in this Agreement, and that your User Content does not violate the privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other rights (collectively “Rights”) of any person or entity.

 

You agree that you will not use the Services to:

6. Virtual Goods; Payments

 

The Service may include an opportunity to purchase Virtual Goods (as defined below) using real money. Virtual Goods include in-game currency, trophies, and other virtual items (“Virtual Goods”). A Virtual Good is a set of rights to digital items, as licensed by Company. Virtual Goods can never be redeemed for real money, goods, or any other item of value from Company or any other party.

The payment terms and available payment methods shall be governed by the Third-Party Payment Services. Company hereby disclaims any warranty and shall not be liable for any damages relating to or in connection with your use of the Third-Party Payment Services.

 

For avoidance of any doubt, Company does not deal directly with any payment issues, does not collect any bank account or credit card details from users, and does not have any access to such information. In addition, you hereby acknowledge that Company shall not be required to pay any taxes (such as withholding taxes, VAT, etc.) in connection with payments made by you via Third-Party Payment Services

 

Your purchase of the limited license for Virtual Goods is final and non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-transferable, except in Company’s sole discretion. You may not purchase, sell, or exchange Virtual Goods outside the Service. Doing so is a violation of this Agreement and may result in termination of your account with the Service and/or legal action.

 

Company retains the right to modify and/or eliminate your limited license with respect to Virtual Goods at its sole discretion. Prices and availability of limited licenses for Virtual Goods are subject to change without notice.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

 

PLEASE READ THIS "DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION" SECTION CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH COMPANY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.


THIS PROVISION PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST COMPANY. IT ALSO PRECLUDES YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST COMPANY BY SOMEONE ELSE. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

 

AGREEING TO ARBITRATION IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION, AND IN MAKING THAT DECISION, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS IT IS NOT INTENDED TO CONTAIN A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARBITRATION. YOU SHOULD TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO CONDUCT FURTHER RESEARCH AND TO CONSULT WITH OTHERS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

 

Scope of Arbitration Provision. You and Company agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access to or use of any Service or to this Agreement (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of these Terms of Service) (each a "Dispute"), shall be determined by arbitration, except that you and Company are NOT required to arbitrate any Dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither You nor Company shall be entitled to consolidate, join or coordinate disputes by or against other individuals or entities, or participate in any collective arbitration (as defined above) or arbitrate or litigate any dispute in a representative capacity, including as a representative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity. 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, in the event all or any portion of this section 12  (dispute resolution by binding arbitration) are found to be invalid or less than fully enforceable, then the entirety of this section 12 (dispute resolution by binding arbitration) may be deemed void and as having no effect upon either party's election.

 

Location of Arbitration and Applicable Rules. You and the Company agree that the Center of Arbitration and Dispute Resolution (“CADR”) will administer the arbitration, which shall be conducted in accordance with its rules in effect at the time arbitration is sought, and in accordance with the Israeli Arbitration Law, 5728-1968, as amended. You and the Company further agree that the arbitration will be held in English and in Tel Aviv-Jaffa (Israel), or, if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means.  The CADR rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. You and Company agree that such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator.

 

Authority of Arbitrator. With the exception of class procedures and remedies as discussed below under "Waiver of Class Relief," the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Company agree that any judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel.  Both you and Company consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

 

Confidentiality. You and Company shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct an arbitration hearing on the merits, or as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or as otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

 

WAIVER OF CLASS RELIEF. WHETHER A DISPUTE IS SUBJECT TO ADJUDICATION IN COURT OR ARBITRATION, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST COMPANY A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

 

Procedure to Opt Out of Arbitration. You may opt out of this arbitration provision only by sending a notice to contact@sociologicgames.com.

 

You must contact the e-mail address above within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of these Terms of Service. You must sign and date the notice, and include in it your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with Company through arbitration. If you do not follow this procedure by such deadline, you and Company shall both be bound by the terms of this “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” Section.

 

If any portion of this "Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration" Section is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

 

13. Miscellaneous

 

If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions shall not be affected. When used in this Agreement, the term “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” This Agreement, including the Privacy Policy and other policies incorporated herein, constitutes the entire and only Agreement between the Company and each user of the Services with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous Agreements, representations, warranties and understandings, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. The failure of the Company and its Affiliated Parties to insist upon


 

strict adherence to any term of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such term or limit that party’s right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.
