1. Intro: Your Agreement to these Terms of Service

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT. Nitruc, LLC (“Nitruc”), on behalf of Ebounty, provides you access to the Ebounty app (the “App”) and software (the “Software”), the Ebounty.gg website (the “Site”), skill-based challenges, competitions, and tournaments (“Competitions”), and the information and other materials available on and through its network of any products and services (the “Ebounty Services”) on your computer or device (the “Device”), subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions set forth below (the “Terms of Service”).

If you do not agree with any of the Terms of Service, DO NOT USE THE APP, SITE, OR ANY OTHER EBOUNTY SERVICES. Your continued use of this Site, the App, registration of an Account, and any other Ebounty Services evidences your agreement to be bound by each of the Terms of Service and constitutes a legally binding contract between you and Ebounty/Nitruc.

THE INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THIS SITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OR USE BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY IN ANY JURISDICTION OR COUNTRY WHERE SUCH DISTRIBUTION OR USE WOULD BE CONTRARY TO LAW OR REGULATION OR WHICH WOULD SUBJECT EBOUNTY TO ANY REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT WITHIN SUCH JURISDICTION OR COUNTRY.

2. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please see our Privacy Policy section for information relating to how Ebounty collects, uses, and discloses your personal information, and how you can manage your online privacy when using the Ebounty Services.

Ebounty may suspend, hold, or close the Account of any user who violates, or whom Ebounty reasonably believes may be in violation of or will violate, these Terms, or Applicable Laws at any time without notice. Without limiting our other rights or remedies, Ebounty may determine that your Winnings, if any, will be forfeited or recouped by us should you violate any of these Terms. Ebounty also reserves the right to cancel Competitions per our own discretion when we believe you or another participant has violated these Terms or Applicable Law. Additionally, Ebounty reserves the right to cancel Competitions per our discretion, to ensure the quality, integrity, and/or legal compliance of Services. Such cancellation may result in a refund of entry fees to your Account, but are not guaranteed.

In order to win Competitions, you will also need to download and install Ebounty’s proprietary software and app on your device; the following are all considered Software: documents, fixes, improvements, keys, licenses, patches, updates, upgrades, user interfaces, and revised versions. If you do not download and install the Software, you may not be able to participate in Competitions or receive relevant Services.

You may not directly or indirectly, or authorize any person or entity to: decompile, disassemble, re-engineer, reverse engineer, or otherwise create or attempt to create or permit, allow or assist others to create the source code of the Software or its structural framework; create derivative works of the Software; use the Software in whole or in part for any purpose except as expressly provided herein; or disable or circumvent any access control or related device, process or procedure established with respect to the Software. You acknowledge that you have access to sufficient information such that you do not need to reverse engineer the Software in any way to permit other products or information to interoperate with the Software. You are responsible for all use of the Software that is under your possession or control.

4.4. Support and Updates

Ebounty may offer technical support for Software and Services to assist users in fixing problems with the App. Technical support may also require Ebounty remotely accessing your Device on which the Software is installed. You hereby consent to these actions that may be performed by us. You acknowledge that if Ebounty cannot remotely access your Device, this may result in the Software no longer working which may prevent you from participating in Competitions and/or receiving Services. Our access to your Device is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy and will be limited only for purposes of providing support or updating the Software.

4.5. Beta Releases

For any Service that we identify or label as “early access” or a “beta” version (“Beta Service”), you acknowledge and agree that Early Access or a Beta may contain fewer, or in some cases more, features than the final release of the Service. Ebounty reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to not release a final version of an Early Access or Beta Service or to alter any of its features, functions, specifications, capabilities, licensing terms, release dates, general availability, offerings, or other facets. You acknowledge that Beta Services may not be suitable for production use and may contain errors affecting proper operation and functionality.

6. Winnings, Account Funds, and Payments

6.1. Fees

Fees and payments for Services that you use to participate in Competitions (“Fees”) and billing procedures are detailed in the billing application. If Fees are charged to your Account, you agree to pay those Fees. All Fees are stated in U.S. Dollars, must be prepaid and are non-refundable. You are fully responsible and liable for all charges, deposits, and withdrawals made under your Account, including any unauthorized charges, deposits, or withdrawals. The price of Services may change at any time, however, past purchases will not be impacted by these changes.

6.2. Billing

Ebounty reserves the right to change Fees and billing procedures by updating the billing application with or without notice to you. By providing a payment method, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; authorize us to charge you for the Services using your payment method; and authorize us to charge you for any paid feature of the Services that you choose to sign up for. Ebounty may bill you in advance; at the time of purchase; or shortly after purchase, in our sole discretion. You must tell us within 120 days after an error first appears on your bill for an investigation of the charge to occur promptly. After 120 days from the first appearance of the error, Ebounty will not be liable for any losses resulting from the error and will not be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If we identify a billing error, it will be corrected within 90 days. You must pay for all reasonable costs Ebounty incurs to collect any past due amounts, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and costs.

6.3. Cash Deposits

If you join a bounty or play in a Competition that requires entry fees paid in coins (“Cash Competitions”), then you are a “Cash Player”, and if you establish a positive Account balance for entry fees for Cash Competitions, then you must submit and maintain at all times the following current and correct information: your full name, your permanent residential address, your phone number, and your credit card or other payment information. Participating in Cash Competitions may require establishing a positive Account balance in any amount Ebounty determines. If you are a Cash Player, by submitting this information, you consent to allowing us to share your personal and payment information in confidence with third party service providers for the purposes of validating your identity and assessing the transaction risk associated with accepting your selected method of payment, and for any other purpose as detailed in our Privacy Policy. When you withdraw funds from your account, you may be required to submit your social security number or other identifying information. Failure to provide your social security number or other requested identifying information at that time may result in inability to process your withdrawal for any winnings.

6.4. Withdrawals

If you are a Cash Player, you may request a withdrawal of funds from your available Account balance at any time. Digital Assets and Experience Points (“XP”) cannot be withdrawn. Processing of requested funds is made by PayPal, your bank account, or check, and may take up to ninety (90) days; provided, however, that Ebounty may freeze your Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected Abuse, verification of eligibility or to comply with Applicable Laws. A check request processing fee of up to $2.00 for any withdrawal of less than $10.00 may also be assessed.

6.5. Closing Accounts; Forfeiture of Funds

If you close your Account, funds in your Account will be returned subject to the terms of Section 6.4. If your Account is closed or terminated for cause as allowed in these Terms, funds in your Account may be forfeited and not returned to you. If your funds are forfeited by you in accordance with this Section or Sections 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.7, or 13.4 hereof, these funds may be used to defray the costs of administration and enforcement of these Terms, allocated or disbursed such amounts to other Services or donated these funds.

6.6. Refund Policy

Unless otherwise required by law, no refunds on purchases of coins, entry fees, or other digital assets will be given.

6.7. Winnings

If you are eligible to receive Winnings, Ebounty may require that you provide additional proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation in the subject Competition, eligible to participate in accordance with these Terms and that your participation was in accordance with these Terms. If you do not provide such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, then you will not receive the relevant Winnings or be able to Withdraw your winnings. If you receive a payment in error, Ebounty may reverse or require return of the payment. You agree to cooperate with our efforts to do this. Ebounty may also reduce payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.

6.8. Credit Card and PayPal Authorization

When you pay for any charges by credit card or PayPal, you represent to us that you are the authorized user of such credit card and account. You must promptly notify us of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, or if your credit card expires or is canceled for any reason. Ebounty is not liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment by a third party (such as PayPal) in connection with the Services. Any attempt to defraud through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment, regardless of the outcome, or any failure by you to honor legitimate charges or requests for payment, will result in immediate termination of your Account, forfeiture of Winnings, and pursuit of civil litigation and/or criminal prosecution.

6.9. Taxes

If you are a U.S. resident, Ebounty may send you an IRS Form W-9 and 1099-MISC or other appropriate form if your Winnings total $600 or more in any given calendar year. Depending on the state in which you reside, Ebounty may also send you additional federal or state tax forms. Without limiting the foregoing, Ebounty may withhold from your existing Account balance and/or from future Winnings any amount required to be withheld by Applicable Laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation, but you remain solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

7. Copyright

Ebounty respects others’ intellectual property rights and has made every effort to secure appropriate clearances for all proprietary intellectual properties that Ebounty directly makes available on the App and Site. However, if you believe any Material on the App and Site, either posted by Ebounty, our users or any other party, is infringing, please contact us at info@ebounty.gg. Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Ebounty has registered an agent to receive copyright infringement claims.

Infringement notices addressed to Ebounty’s Designated Agent need to include the following information so that we can locate the Material and properly process the request:

An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest in the Material; a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed; a description of where the Material that you claim is infringing is located on the App and Site; your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the Material is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

8. Intellectual Property

All text, graphics, multimedia content or other material available from the entry point URL https://www.ebounty.gg, pages within that Site, the App, and all related code, including but not limited to games, films, images, text, ideas, graphics, logos, icons, layouts, arrangements, displays, illustrations, audio and video clips, HTML, other mark-up languages, and all scripts and software within this Site and App (“Material(s)”) are the property of Ebounty and/or its affiliates or licensors and are protected by copyrights and other proprietary intellectual property rights that are owned or controlled by Ebounty or by other parties that have licensed their Material to Ebounty.

Material from the Site may not be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, distributed, modified, transferred, sold, displayed, or in any way commercially exploited in whole or in part except that you may download one copy of the Materials on any single computer for your personal, noncommercial use, and one single permanent copy to be used by you, provided you keep intact any copyright and other proprietary notices on the Materials and do not modify the Materials in any way. You must obtain the prior written consent of Ebounty for any other use of the Materials. Modification of the Materials or use of the Materials for any other purpose is a violation of copyright and other proprietary rights and the use of any of the Material on any other Web site or computer environment is strictly prohibited.

9. Trademarks

“Ebounty”, the “Ebounty logo,” and Ebounty’s other common law and registered service and trademarks (Marks) which may appear on the App and Site, are the service and trademarks of Ebounty and Nitruc. All other trademarks, service marks and logos used on this App and Site, with or without attribution, are the trademarks, service marks or logos of their respective owners. In addition, elements of the App and Site are protected by trade dress and other federal and state intellectual property laws and may not be copied, reproduced, downloaded, or distributed in any way in whole or in part without the express written permission of Ebounty and Nitruc.

10. Compliance with Laws

10.1 Prohibited US States and Countries

You acknowledge that various rules, regulations and laws addressing skill-based competitions and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes govern your participation in skill-based Competitions (“Gaming Laws”), and that Gaming Laws are set up by each individual US state, country, territory, or jurisdiction. As a result, Ebounty does not offer real money Competitions (as defined in Section 6.3) to users participating in Competitions in any state in which Ebounty believes such Competitions violate Gaming Laws (“Prohibited Jurisdiction”). If you are located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction, you may not participate in Cash Competitions provided by Services. As of the “Updated” date above, Ebounty offers Services in the following U.S. states (“Allowed Jurisdiction”): Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The Allowed Jurisdictions listed permit such Competitions; however, this does not mean that all of the non-listed states qualify as Prohibited Jurisdictions. Ebounty reserves the right to update these lists at any time. Yet, it is your responsibility to determine whether the state, country, territory or jurisdiction in which you are located is an Allowed Jurisdiction or Prohibited Jurisdiction. Ebounty reserves the right (but has no obligation) to monitor the location from which you access Services, and Ebounty may block access from any Prohibited Jurisdiction or any jurisdiction in general. Each time you log-in and participate in a Cash Competition, you must accurately and honestly confirm the location from which you are playing.

10.2 Pooling

Some of the states are deemed as Prohibited Jurisdictions because they have particular laws or regulations that restrict the pooling of money and/ or payment of consideration to participate, even in games of skill, and therefore Ebounty is not currently operating there, out of an abundance of caution, without first seeking guidance from state authorities. Ebounty’s monetization of skill-based Competitions would not be classified as gambling or pooling in most states because the elements of chance and random luck have been removed from the Ebounty Services.

10.3 Additional Laws

In addition to Gaming Laws, you are also subject to all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations of the city, state and country in which you reside and from which you access and use Services, including without limitation U.S. export laws (together with Gaming Laws, the “Applicable Laws”). You are solely responsible for your compliance with all Applicable Laws. Access to Competitions may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain jurisdictions. SERVICES AND COMPETITIONS ARE VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS. Participate in Competitions at your own risk. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless if Applicable Laws restrict or prohibit your access or participation.

10.4 Legal Disclaimers

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE LAWFULNESS OF YOUR PARTICIPATING IN ANY COMPETITION OR USE OF SERVICES, NOR SHALL ANY PERSON AFFILIATED, OR CLAIMING AFFILIATION, WITH EBOUNTY HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. THE OUTCOMES OF OUR COMPETITIONS ARE ENTIRELY RELIANT ON THE SKILL OF THE PARTICIPANTS SIMILAR TO OTHER ESPORTS TOURNAMENTS, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE IN GAMBLING OR FANTASY SPORTS.

11. Disputes

11.1 Limitation of Liability

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EBOUNTY, ITS PARENT, ITS AFFILIATES OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, SPONSORS, AND OTHER PARTNERS OF EACH BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE APP AND SITE, THE SERVICES AVAILABLE ON THE APP AND SITE OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE APP AND SITE, EVEN IF ANY OF THESE PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY DAMAGES. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE SITE AND/OR SITE-RELATED SERVICES IS TO STOP USING THE APP AND SITE AND/OR THOSE SERVICES.

11.2 Arbitration

If you and Ebounty 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.

11.3. 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 Ebounty 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.

11.4 Disclaimers; No Warranties

ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THE APP AND SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, EBOUNTY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
