You may not use the Game unless you are at least seventeen (17) years old. You also agree on adhering to or community guidelines. Genvid Entertainment ensures safety, respect, and enjoyment of all users by establishing the following guidelines:

You may not:

use the Game or Content for any political or commercial purpose;
harvest any information from the Game or Content;
reverse engineer or modify the Game or Content;
interfere with the proper operation of or any security measure used by the Game or Content;
infringe any intellectual property or other right of any third party;

otherwise violate these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms.

You also agree on adhering to our community guidelines. Genvid Entertainment ensures safety, respect, and enjoyment of all users by establishing the following guidelines:

Personal Information. Protect your privacy and the privacy of others. Never share or solicit personal details such as addresses, phone numbers, or other sensitive information. Sharing or threatening to share someone’s alternate account names, real-world location, real name, etc. is not allowed.
Discrimination and Hate Speech. Genvid Entertainment values diversity and inclusion. Discriminatory remarks, hate speech, or prejudiced comments based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, or other personal characteristics will not be tolerated.
Bullying and Harassment. Treat all users with respect. Bullying, staking, threatening, or harassing others is strictly prohibited. Instigating conflicts are considered trolling and not allowed.
Scams and Deceptive Practices. Protect yourself and others from fraud. Do not engage in or promote scams, pyramid schemes, phishing, or any deceptive practices. We prohibit spam, including pay-for-follower promotions or other follower-growth schemes, the promotion of spam applications, or the promotion of multilevel marketing or pyramid schemes.
Inappropriate Content and Illegal Activities. Maintain a respectable tone. Abstain from sharing or posting content that is obscene, graphic, or sexually explicit. Engaging in or endorsing illegal or harmful activities, such as illegal drug use, phishing, doxing, swatting, human trafficking, prostitution, gambling, or sharing content that glorifies or incites violence is strictly prohibited and unacceptable. Threats, whether against oneself or others, are severe violations and will be treated as such—making them, even as jokes, is unacceptable.
Safety Reminders. There is no such thing as free Influence Points offered by other users. Beware of scams. If something is too good to be true it probably is. Never share your account information or accept login details from others. Doxing (sharing someone's personal information without consent) is strictly prohibited and illegal.

You further agree to comply with all local, state, federal, national, foreign, supranational, and international laws, statutes, ordinances, regulations, treaties, directives, and agreements that apply to your use of the Game and Content.

We may communicate with you based on preferences you provide to us. If you have opted-in to receive push notification on your Device, you can opt-out at any time by adjusting the permissions within your account settings.

D. Virtual Content.

We may, from time to time, permit you to use real-world money to buy Virtual Content. "Virtual Content" is a generic term for the products and services available to users free of charge, via code card redemption, or for purchase within the Game which may be used within the Game to access certain features, functions, and other Virtual Content. Virtual Content includes but is not limited to Season Passes and Influence Point packs.

We may, from time to time, and at our sole discretion, provide opportunities for users to acquire certain Virtual Content free of charge, at reduced rates, or as bonus content when you acquire other Virtual Content. You may only acquire Virtual Content in the amount and at times permitted by us in our sole discretion and may only purchase Virtual Content for your personal use within the Game. The inclusion of any Virtual Content at a particular time does not imply or warrant that the same Virtual Content will be available at any or all times. All features, content, capabilities, and specifications of Virtual Content described or depicted in the Service are subject to change at any time without notice.

Virtual Content does not have monetary value, and may not be redeemed for legal currency, services, or items of value outside of the Game. Virtual Content obtained via the Game is provided to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use within the Game. You have no property interest; right or title in or to any Virtual Content appearing or originating in the service, and Virtual Content may not be transferred or resold in any manner not explicitly permitted by us. We may terminate your license to Virtual Content at any time and at our sole discretion.

E. Purchasing Virtual Content

For all charges for any Virtual Content sold in the Game, our payment processor acting on our behalf will bill your credit card or alternative payment method. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using your account. In the event that your credit card or alternative payment provider refuses to pay us for an amount credited to your account, we will have the right to delete the Virtual Content from your account. You agree that you will not cancel or reverse any charges for such Virtual Content or otherwise attempt to defraud us. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you agree to reimburse us for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses.

ALL PURCHASES OF VIRTUAL CONTENT ARE NON-RETURNABLE AND NON-REFUNDABLE. If you use Virtual Content in the Game, you lose any statutory right of withdrawal because we begin performing our services upon your completed purchase of the Virtual Content. If through some problem with your account or any other reason you lose Virtual Content and we can verify that you had it, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to replace it.

YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL CONTENT WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY. Certain jurisdictions may provide additional statutory rights, including a Cooling-Off Period which allows you to withdraw from a purchase. Nothing herein is meant to limit your return or cancellation rights for your purchase of Virtual Content under local law.

12. Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes and Choice of Law

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

A. We Both Agree to Arbitrate

You and Genvid Entertainment agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration, except to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Genvid Entertainment’s intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights). Under such circumstances Genvid Entertainment may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Game, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein.

B. What is Arbitration?

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced.

C. Arbitration Procedures

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in front of one arbitrator. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in this Terms will govern. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. To initiate arbitration, you or Genvid Entertainment must do the following things:

Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com.
Send three copies of the demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee to: JAMS to your local JAMS office or to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111.
Send one copy of the demand for Arbitration to the other party.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If traveling to New York is a burden, you may participate in the arbitration by phone or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator. Each party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees). Arbitration under this agreement shall be held in the United States in New York, NY under New York law without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

D. Authority of Arbitrator

The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Genvid Entertainment, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Genvid Entertainment.

E. Waiver of Class Actions

You waive any right to pursue an action on a class-wide basis against us and may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim against us as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

F. Waiver of Jury Trial

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Genvid Entertainment in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND GENVID ENTERTAINMENT WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

G. Choice of Law/Forum Selection

In any circumstances where the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes permits the parties to litigate in court, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of law rules. You further expressly consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of a court of competent jurisdiction located in New York, NY.

13. Updates to Terms

We reserve the right, at any time in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, without prior notice. You agree that we may notify you of any updated Terms and any applicable Additional Terms by posting them through the Game. All such changes are effective immediately when we post them, or such later date as may be specified in the notice of updated Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse is to cease using the Game.

14. General Provisions

A. Consent or Approval

No Genvid Entertainment consent or approval may be deemed to have been granted by Genvid Entertainment without being in writing and signed by an officer of Genvid Entertainment.

B. Survival

The provisions of these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, which by their nature should survive termination of your use of the Game, including sections on Game Use (except for the limited license), Submissions, Copyright Infringement, Customer Support, Third Party Services, Service Features, Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes and Choice of Law, Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties, Limitations of Our Liability, Indemnification, Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief, Updates to Terms, and General Provisions, will survive.

C. Severability; Interpretation; Assignment

If any provision of these Terms, or any applicable Additional Terms, is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms or the Additional Terms, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of these Terms or the Additional Terms. You hereby waive any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter. The summaries of provisions and section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms. Genvid Entertainment may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice. These Terms and any applicable Additional Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of Genvid Entertainment.

D. Complete Agreement; No Waiver

These Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms, reflect our complete agreement regarding the Game and supersede any prior agreements, representations, warranties, assurances or discussion related to the Game. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, (i) no failure or delay by you or Genvid Entertainment in exercising any of rights, powers, or remedies under will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

E. International Issues

Genvid Entertainment controls and operates the Game from the U.S., and Genvid Entertainment makes no representation that the Game is appropriate or available for use beyond the U.S. You agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms or to any sale of goods carried out as a result of your use of the Game. Software related to or made available by the Game may be subject to export controls of the U.S., and, except as authorized by law, you agree and warrant not to export or re-export the software to any county, or to any person, entity, or end-user subject to U.S. export controls or sanctions.

F. Investigations; Cooperation with Law Enforcement

Genvid Entertainment reserves the right to investigate and prosecute any suspected breaches of these Terms or the Game. Genvid Entertainment may disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.
