You understand and agree that by using any MINI on Sleeper's platform you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of the third-party who owns and/or operates that MINI (as applicable). You understand and agree that should you be participating in any fantasy sports league (or other part of Sleeper's platform) where a MINI is being used, and you do not wish to utilize or otherwise be exposed to said MINI, you agree to remove yourself from said league or other part of Sleeper's platform. You understand that Sleeper does not in any way guarantee, in whole or in part, the availability or usability of any MINI, nor does Sleeper in any way guarantee that any such MINI shall be free from defect, bug, virus, and/or other similar issue.

3 SLEEPER WALLET & PAYMENT TERMS
3.1 You may be eligible to link your bank account and/or a credit card to your Sleeper account in order to create a wallet (a “Sleeper Wallet”). Your Sleeper Wallet can be used to fund participation in certain Services we offer to eligible users, such as our Contests (as defined below).
3.2 In order to setup and use a Sleeper Wallet, you must:
· Be a legal resident of the United States or Canada;
· Be at least 18 years of age (please note – while being at least 18 may enable you to setup a Sleeper Wallet, some Services that utilize the Sleeper Wallet such as Contests (as defined below), have higher age requirements in certain jurisdictions);
· Be physically located in one (1) of the fifty (50) states (or the District of Columbia), or one of the provinces of Canada, that is not considered an "Excluded State." Please visit the link to see the most current list of Excluded States, which may change from time to time without notice;
· Possess a valid tax identification or social security number;
· Possess (and have the authority to utilize) a valid bank account or credit card issued by a financial institution in the United States (subject to our availability to accept certain forms of payment); and
· Undergo (and pass) an identity/background verification check.
3.3 By inputting a payment method (for a Sleeper Wallet or otherwise), you represent and warrant that you are the lawful owner of the payment method account. If you elect to save a payment method to the Services, you agree that your bank or card information will be saved for future transactions on your account, and you provide authorization to be charged for agreed upon payments. Our payment processing partners may have their own terms and conditions and you should ensure that you agree with these prior to making any payment(s). If your transaction with our payment processing partners is not successful, then your payment will not be fulfilled. Depending on which financial institution you use, additional charges may be issued by your financial institutions as we have no control over such charges nor accept liability for them.
3.4 You agree that all payments are final and that we are under no obligation to refund any transaction once a payment has been made, subject to applicable law. For these purposes, a payment is complete at the time our servers validate your payment and successfully credit your account on our servers. Deposits made into your Sleeper Wallet will appear on your statement as SLEEPER. In the case of a dispute regarding the identity of a user submitting payment, that payment will be deemed to have been submitted by the user in whose name the respective individual account was registered.
3.5 If your Sleeper Wallet has no activity for twenty-four (24) consecutive months, it may be considered inactive. Sleeper may assess a monthly fee of $4.99 to maintain inactive wallets until it is reactivated by entering Contests, making a deposit, or withdrawing funds. Prior to deducting any fees due to wallet inactivity, Sleeper will provide you at least thirty (30) days-written notice.
3.6 Once a Sleeper Wallet is legally found to be abandoned, as determined by each jurisdiction’s applicable law, it will be considered so, and Sleeper may be required to remit the abandoned funds to the appropriate state agency as unclaimed property. Sleeper reserves the right to deduct fees associated with the delivery of abandoned funds subject to applicable law.
4 DIGITAL CURRENCY PLATFORM REQUIREMENTS AND NOTICES
4.1 Users may, at their sole risk, access and use the services offered by Sleeper’s digital currency platform partner Zero Hash, LLC and/or Zero Hash Liquidity Services LLC, both of which are registered money services businesses with U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (as well as state-licensed money transmitters) and one of our third-party financial infrastructure providers (herein collectively, “Zero Hash”), in order to utilize their fiat-to-digital currency and digital currency-to-fiat transaction services. A full list of Zero Hash’s licenses and state disclosures can be found on the Zero Hash website HERE and HERE. You must first open a digital currency account with Zero Hash in order to use the digital currency services. By registering your digital currency account with Zero Hash, you agree that you have read and agree to Zero Hash’s User Agreement, Terms of Service, Third-Party Transaction Disclosures, General Risks of Digital Assets, Privacy Policy, and all other policies, requirements and guidelines posted or enacted by Zero Hash, including but not limited to those found HERE, as updated from time-to-time in Zero Hash’s sole discretion.

4.2 If you do not agree to the policies, terms and conditions linked in the previous paragraph, as well as the additional requirements found in this section, you should not register your digital currency account with Zero Hash or access or use its services.
4.3 When you initiate a transaction on the Sleeper platform to purchase or sell digital assets via Zero Hash, you are instructing Sleper to communicate your intent to Zero Hash and, where applicable, to a third-party payment services provider involved in your transaction. Specifically:
· Deposits to Sleeper via Zero Hash: If you convert digital assets into fiat currency through Zero Hash, the resulting USD (or supported fiat currency) will be held by Zero Hash and then transferred to your Sleeper Wallet. This transfer is subject to the operational and compliance procedures of Zero Hash; and
· Withdrawals from Sleeper via Zero Hash: When you request a withdrawal of fiat funds from your Sleeper Wallet to Zero Hash, you are instructing Sleeper to initiate a transfer of funds from your Sleeper Wallet balance to your designated account at Zero Hash. Once the funds arrive at Zero Hash, they will be subject to the custody and use policies of Zero Hash, including any applicable conversion or withdrawal mechanisms they support.
Sleeper does not control, hold, or custody any digital assets involved in these transfers. Sleeper does hold USD that was deposited from Zero Hash and is currently held in your Sleeper Wallet.
4.4 You hereby authorize Sleeper to provide Zero Hash any of your personally identifiable information maintained in connection with your Sleeper account, and to continue sharing such information, and revisions or additions thereto, with Zero Hash on an ongoing basis until your cryptocurrency account is either closed or terminated in accordance with Zero Has’s policies.
4.5 You understand and agree that digital assets offered by Zero Hash and its affiliates are not covered by any regulated insurance scheme (including, but not limited to, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC)) or any private insurance policy.
4.6 You understand and agree that when you submit a withdrawal transaction to Zero Hash or its affiliates through the Sleeper platform: i) Zero Hash and its affiliates will not be responsible for any digital asset which is sent to an external address in accordance with your or Sleeper’s instructions; and ii) once a digital asset is sent to an external address, the digital asset is outside of Zero Hash’s or its applicable affiliates’ custody and control and the transfer cannot be reversed.
4.7 You understand and agree that your digital currency account is self-directed, you are solely responsible for any and all transfers, purchases, and/or order placed through your cryptocurrency account, and all such transfers, purchases, and/or orders are based on your own investment decisions. You understand and acknowledge that you have not received and do not expect to receive any investment advice from Sleeper, or any of its affiliates, in connection with your digital currency account. You further understand and acknowledge that under no circumstances will your access to the Services and/or use of Zero Hash’s services be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice. You acknowledge that neither Sleeper, nor any of its affiliates, nor any of its or their employees, agents, principals, or representatives: i) provide investment advice in connection with your digital currency account; ii) recommend any digital currencies, cryptocurrencies, digital currency/cryptocurrency transactions, or orders; or iii) solicit orders. To the extent research materials or similar information are available through Sleeper’s services, you hereby understand and acknowledge that these materials are intended for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute a recommendation by Sleeper to enter into any transactions or to engage in any investment strategies.
5 PAID-ENTRY CONTESTS OF SKILL
5.1 The Services include paid-entry contests of skill where you may win cash prizes (“Contests”). Contests are games of skill and are not games of chance. Winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant sports information and fantasy sports rules.
5.2 Contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics at the completion of the last applicable sporting event of each individual Contest. Once Contest results are reviewed and graded, prizes may be awarded.
5.3 We encourage you to read the official rules that govern each of our Contests, as they form and are a part of these Terms. In the event of any ambiguity between these Terms and the official rules, the official rules shall take precedence.
5.4 Please consult our Responsible Play page for information on self-exclusion, limits on play, help with addictive behavior, and other related items.
5.5 By depositing funds or entering a Contest, you agree to provide us (and our relevant third-party vendors) with certain personal information, including but not limited to a valid mailing address, date of birth, social security number, and any other information we or they may require in order to perform appropriate identity checks and comply with applicable rules and regulations. If we are unable to verify your identity to our satisfaction, we reserve the right to suspend your account and withhold any funds until such time as we are able to successfully verify your identity.

If Sleeper, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements listed above, then you are not authorized to enter Contests. Sleeper may require that you provide proof of eligibility according to these Terms prior to entering a Contest, receiving a prize, making a deposit, and/or withdrawing funds. This includes by requiring an affidavit of eligibility or other verification information.
5.7 If you are located in an Excluded State, you are still eligible to open an account and engage in certain other Services and/or activities offered by Sleeper.
5.8 Sleeper employees shall be eligible to enter private, employee-only contests where no member of the public has also entered, to the extent allowed by applicable law. These are not considered Contests under these Terms.

Additional Terms
5.10 Your deposits and winnings after Contests are completed are held in a separate, segregated bank account (the ”Segregated Account”) held by Sleeper Wallet, LLC, a legally separate and independent subsidiary of Blitz Studios, Inc. Withdrawals which will be made from this Segregated Account, and checks issued from the Segregated Account, may bear the name Sleeper Wallet, LLC. Vendors, users, and creditors shall be made aware that the funds in the Segregated Account are the property of Sleeper Wallet, LLC and do not belong to Blitz Studios, Inc., and are not available to creditors of Blitz Studios, Inc., except for users whose funds are held in such account. Blitz Studios, Inc. and Sleeper Wallet, LLC are prohibited from commingling funds held by Blitz Studios, Inc. and funds belonging to Sleeper Wallet, LLC held in the Segregated Account.
5.11 We will take appropriate steps to prevent unauthorized withdrawals from consumer accounts. Users are subject to an automated Know Your Customer (“KYC”) verification process provided whenever a user attempts to withdraw funds. This process asks a series of multiple-choice questions about the person's life, which may include but not be limited to known relatives, previous addresses, and requiring the entrance of the last 4 digits of their Tax ID or Social Security Number. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a customer, we can and do require our users to produce a copy of their driver's license, credit cards, utility bills and/or passport for identity verification. If a user cannot validate their identity and account, we will withhold winnings, return remaining deposits to their original source, and block future activity.
5.12 Users who believe that funds held in Sleeper Wallet accounts with us have been misallocated, compromised or otherwise mishandled may do so by e-mailing [email protected].
5.13 A player can request to withdraw funds from their Sleeper Wallet account at any time and such requests will be honored in accordance with applicable law. Requests for withdrawal ay be delayed and/or denied in any instance where suspicious activity is detected. A request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by us but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account.
5.14 Sleeper may limit the amount a user can deposit for use in Contests, including in accordance with state-imposed deposit limits. Sleeper reserves the right to impose an inactive account fee with advance notice through an update to these Terms or other communication to you. Upon request, you agree to complete an affidavit of eligibility, a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law), appropriate tax forms and provide forms of identification, and/or information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested to complete verification (and prior to any withdrawal). We reserve the right to notify appropriate governmental authorities if we determine, in our sole and absolute discretion, that such use may be a violation of law or is otherwise irregular, regardless of Sleeper returning any prize monies.
5.15 We limit access to the Contests in the Excluded States. If you attempt to participate in any Contest while located in an Excluded State, you will be in violation of the law of such Excluded State and these Terms, in which case we may take any action which we deem necessary. You hereby acknowledge and agree that you will hold us harmless from and against any damages you suffer arising out of or related to any remedial action exercised against you, including but not limited to restriction or prohibition of your participation in the Contests.
5.16 When you complete the entry process to participate in a Contest, the amount of the entry fee for the applicable Contest that is listed or posted will be debited from your Sleeper Wallet account. Please click the following link for more information on Deposits and Withdrawals.
5.17 In the event of a disqualification or cancellation for any reason, Sleeper reserves the right to issue refunds or exchanges, in our sole and absolute discretion, without any restrictions as to the amount, timing, and/or method of delivery. We will endeavor to provide notification of such disqualifications or cancellations but are under no obligation to do so. Refunds, if issued, will be made available to you via your registered account. In select cases in which you submit requests for cancellation regarding your Contest entry fees prior to the start of the respective sporting events, but after the close of any offered cancellation window, Sleeper may choose to honor such requests, but is under absolutely no obligation to do so. Moreover, we reserve the right to deny any requests to cancel any and all forms of user-submitted payments, including entry fees, without limitation, in our sole and absolute discretion.
5.18 We reserve the right to move you and others from a Contest you have entered into a substantially similar Contest in our sole and absolute discretion. We reserve the right to deny you and others the ability to participate in any Contest for any reason and to cancel Contests at any time. In the event of a cancellation, entry fees will be refunded to you except as otherwise provided for in these Terms. You understand and agree that Sleeper reserves the right to adjust play and wallet limits, including but not limited to entry fee limits and payout multipliers, on an individual account basis and may do so for any reason.
5.19 Sleeper endeavors to ensure the accuracy and integrity of all Contests, player projections, and related gameplay data offered on its platform. However, on occasion, mechanical, technical, or human errors may occur. In such instances, Sleeper reserves the right to identify and address what it deems to be an obvious error.
An “obvious error” in this context means a mistake in a Contest offering, projection, and/or entry condition that a reasonable person would recognize as incorrect under the circumstances at the time of Contest entry. If an obvious error is identified, Sleeper may, in its sole discretion, take appropriate corrective measures. Such measures may include, but are not limited to: voiding impacted selections and/or entries, adjusting projections and/or scoring, and/or otherwise amending Contest conditions and/or results to reflect accurate and fair gameplay. Some examples of obvious errors include, but are not limited to:
· Entries submitted or Contests offered after a game or player outcome has commenced or been determined;
· Contests listing inaccurate player data, such as players not participating, or misidentified team assignments, positions, and/or statuses;
· Entries based on player designations that are materially incorrect (e.g. listing a player as active when they are inactive);
· Player projections or Contest parameters that are materially inconsistent with prevailing market standards at the time of entry;
· Statistical projections based on outdated or incorrect data inputs (e.g. a player shown with zero activity after the game has started); and/or
· Projections or fantasy point multipliers that are clearly erroneous relative to the expected outcome or market norms, excluding clearly designated promotional offers or enhanced multipliers.
Sleeper retains sole and final discretion in determining whether an obvious error has occurred and in implementing any remedial actions. You agree to notify us if you become aware of any errors or irregularities with respect to Contests and/or prize awards on your account and to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments in the event of any errors.
5.20 We reserve the right to, without notice: i) terminate, suspend, and/or restrict access to your account; ii) withhold and/or revoke the awarding of prizes; iii) withhold or revoke the awarding of promotional funds/play-through credit; iv) claw-back unwarranted gains; and/or v) invalidate, forfeit, and/or deduct amounts from your Sleeper Wallet, should we determined in our sole and absolute discretion, that:
· You engage in conduct that is improper, unfair, fraudulent, or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Services or detrimental to other users or you otherwise are not in compliance with these Terms;
· Engage in illegal play of any kind;
· Falsify any personal information required to create an account, enter a Contest, and/or claim a prize;
· Collude with any other individual(s) or engage in any type of syndicate play;
· Sell, or otherwise exchange for any form of consideration, a promotion with another user;

· Maintain multiple accounts in order to increase your odds of winning and/or for any other purpose whatsoever;
· You do not meet eligibility requirements as outlined in these Terms; you fail to provide requested documentation and/or proof of eligibility and compliance within the requested time period; and/or you cannot validate your identity and account;
· There is a “chargeback” on one or more deposit(s) or with respect to any unused or abused bonuses or credits that were rewarded;
· You are depositing funds without the primary intention of using them in Contests;
· You exploit or manipulate a promotion, offer, or other mechanic set forth by us in order to improperly enrich yourself and/or someone else, or otherwise commit any form of bonus or promotion abuse;
· You, through any means, withdraw funds from your account that were labeled as "play-through" or otherwise had a play-through requirement, without in fact utilizing said funds though a contest; and/or
· We should do so in furtherance of fraud prevention or anti-money laundering efforts or for other legal purposes, such as (and by example only) if a relevant legal authority challenges the awarding of any prize(s).
5.21 When you receive a payment due to your participation in any Contest, you are liable to us for the full amount of the prize payment to you plus any fees if the payment is later invalidated or reversed for any reason. Should you violate any of the conditions set forth in these Terms, and such violation(s) result in your unjust enrichment, you hereby authorize us to process a charge to one of your stored methods of payment in order to allow Sleeper to recoup the amount of monies which were improperly obtained and/or withdrawn, if the balance in your Segregated Account does not cover the payment due plus any fees Sleeper may charge in its sole discretion.
5.22 Where applicable, Sleeper may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to other entrants in the relevant Contest in a manner consistent with the prize structure of the Contest, as determined by Sleeper in its sole and absolute discretion.
5.23 Each year, all winners who have won six hundred dollars ($600.00) or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to Sleeper so that we can comply with tax regulations. This information will be shared with relevant tax authorities. You, and not Sleeper, are responsible for filing and paying applicable local, state, federal, and international taxes on any winnings. We do not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in these Terms or on the Services be construed as tax advice. By agreeing to these Terms, you are consenting to electronic delivery of all informational tax forms such as Form 1099 and Form W-2G.
5.24 If you enter or become a winner of a Contest, you consent to the use of your name, voice, and likeness/photograph in the development, production, distribution, and/or exploitation of any Contest and/or other portions of the Services. You agree that from the date of notification of your status as a potential winner and continuing until such time when Sleeper informs you that you no longer need to do so, you will make yourself reasonably available to Sleeper for publicity, advertising, and promotion activities. You agree that Sleeper may announce any winner's name on-air or on any of its websites or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of Sleeper. You further agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with a Contest constitutes complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and that you shall receive no additional consideration for the fulfillment of these obligations.
5.25 Sleeper uses third-party data providers to provide sports data for our Contests.

11 CUSTOMER SUCCESS & COMPLAINTS
11.1 Sleeper's Customer Success team is available at [email protected] to address any concerns you may have regarding the Services. Sleeper shall endeavor to respond to complaints as soon as reasonably possible. You and Sleeper agree to use best efforts through Customer Success to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
Initial Dispute Resolution Process
11.2 Before you assert any claim for damages or relief of any kind in a formal proceeding as provided for herein, the parties must make a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute by utilizing the following procedures. You agree that, before you initiate or demand a formal proceeding against Sleeper, that we will meet and confer in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim stemming from Your use of the Services. Multiple individuals with disputes cannot participate in the same informal dispute resolution process; each must be initiated and handled separately.
In order to initiate a claim you shall, as a condition precedent to engaging in the remainder of the dispute resolution process, notify Sleeper in writing of your intent to file a complaint. You must send an electronic communication to our Customer Success team at [email protected] with "Complaint Resolution Process" in the subject line, and include the following information:
· Your username;
· Your first and last name, as registered on your account;
· A detailed explanation of the complaint with any supporting documentation or information;
· Any specific dates and times associated with the complaint (as applicable); and
· The remedy or action you are seeking from Sleeper.
Failure to submit a written communication with the information outlined above will extend the time period before a formal proceeding may be commenced, and may result in the time period never commencing.
After sixty (60) business days have passed following the submission of your complaint, if it included all of the requisite information listed above, and if for some reason the complaint has not been resolved, you may then, and only then, pursue a formal claim as provided for below.
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition precedent to either party initiating a formal claim as provided in these Terms. If the parties do not reach a resolution within the sixty (60) business day timeframe, or any such other time period as may be required by law, from the time all required complaint information is delivered (“Tolling Period”), then either party may initiate binding arbitration, as the sole and exclusive dispute resolution process pursuant to the Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Agreement below (except as expressly set forth therein), and as applicable, the Privacy Notice.
To the extent the process described herein is inconsistent with the statutory requirements of the governing jurisdiction, they shall be so modified to conform to the laws of that jurisdiction.
The parties agree that any relevant limitations period will be tolled solely by the Tolling Period.
In the event of any claim or arbitration between us, as set forth below, Sleeper may, in its sole discretion, terminate your account. Regardless of whether you decide to opt out of arbitration, the terms in this section shall remain in full force and effect.
12 BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT
Please read this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Agreement (the "Agreement") carefully because it may require you and Sleeper to arbitrate certain disputes and claims on an individual basis only and limits the manner in which you and Sleeper can seek relief from each other. This Agreement applies to any claims you may currently possess and any claim that may arise in the future. While you must agree to these Terms in order to use the Services, if you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision in connection with your use of the Services, there is an option, described below, to opt out of the arbitration and class waiver provisions. The option to opt out must be exercised within thirty (30) days of entering this Agreement.
If you reside in or access the Services at any time while located in the United States of America, this Section 12 shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms.
This Agreement includes an arbitration provision which sets forth how past, pending, and/or future disputes between you and Sleeper shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis only and for your own losses only. Under this Agreement, you may not proceed as a class representative, as a member or part of any proposed class, collective action and/or mass arbitration, as a private attorney general, qui tam action or under any representative proceeding, and you may not otherwise seek to recover on behalf of others or for the use or benefit of others in any type of claim or action. You and Sleeper further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action. You further acknowledge that your agreement to arbitrate means you will not be able to seek damages in court or present your case to a jury.
12.1 Acceptance of Terms. By using, or otherwise accessing the Services, or clicking to accept or agree to the Terms where that option is made available, you confirm that you have read and accept and agree to this Agreement. Except to the extent that you may opt out as provided below, all of your activity utilizing the Services and all of your transactions with Sleeper, including all events which occurred before your acceptance of this Agreement, shall be subject to this Agreement.
12.2 Scope of Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as otherwise set forth herein, You and Sleeper agree that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to: any purchase or transaction by you, your access to the Services, your use of the Services, this Agreement, and/or the Privacy Notice (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of the same) (a "Dispute"), shall be ultimately resolved by arbitration, including claims that arose before acceptance of any version of this Agreement. In addition, in the event of any Dispute concerning or relating to this Agreement -- including the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims -- you and Sleeper agree and delegate to the arbitrator the exclusive jurisdiction to rule on their own jurisdiction over the Dispute, including any objections with respect to the scope, validity, enforceability, or severability of this Agreement or its provisions, as well as the arbitrability of any claims or counterclaims presented as part of the Dispute.
12.3 Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the above provision and agreement to arbitrate, all parties retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims solely within the scope of the applicable small claim's court jurisdiction.
12.4 Lack of Estoppel or Preclusive Effect. The parties agree that any issues determined in arbitration or any other proceeding between the parties shall be conducted and decided for the benefit of the parties or express third-party beneficiaries only and shall have no preclusive or estoppel effect against a party in any subsequent or other arbitration or litigation matter, such that all issues shall be decided anew in any subsequent or other proceedings involving either party. The parties reach this agreement in order to narrowly and efficiently tailor their legal positions without concern that any third party may attempt to offensively use any finding or determination of fact or law against You or Sleeper.
12.5 Binding Nature of Agreement. These Terms shall be binding upon you, your successors, assigns, heirs, representatives, beneficiaries, and upon any other person or party claiming an interest on your or your estate’s behalf Sleeper agrees also that this Agreement is intended to benefit and shall bind any successor-in-interest or assignee of Sleeper.
12.6 Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding the requirement to arbitrate herein, you and Sleeper are NOT required to arbitrate any claims for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents, and the parties agree that in the event of alleged infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade dress, logos, trade secrets, or patents by a party, they shall also be entitled to seek legal and injunctive relief and the parties shall not be able to hold out a user's access to the Services as basis to enforce an arbitration agreement as to such claims.
12.7 Separate Agreement & Applicable Law. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a separate agreement between the parties governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and that any alleged or determined invalidity or illegality of all or any part of the Terms, the Services, and/or Privacy Notice shall have no effect upon the validity and enforceability of this Agreement.
Initiating Arbitration Under JAMS Rules
12.8 Following the conclusion of the initial dispute resolution process required by herein, you or Sleeper may seek arbitration of a Dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. You and Sleeper agree that JAMS ("JAMS") will administer the arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules") in effect at the time an arbitration demand is filed. The parties further agree that, to the extent applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines ("JAMS Mass Rules") shall apply.
12.9 You and Sleeper further agree:
· Arbitration will proceed on an individual claim basis only;
· The arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator. The parties agree that the JAMS arbitrator must have the following minimum qualifications: practicing attorneys or retired federal court judges who have at least ten (10) years of substantive expertise in litigating and resolving complex business disputes, including motions to compel arbitration and litigation or adjudication regarding the arbitrability of disputes;
· While the JAMS Rules shall apply, the parties agree that JAMS Rules 16.1 and 16.2 (Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Expedited Procedures) shall not apply, unless explicitly agreed to between the parties in writing;
· In lieu of JAMS Rule 15 (Arbitrator Selection, Disclosures and Replacement), the parties shall be presented with a list of eight (8) potential arbitrators, be allowed three (3) strikes and the parties 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);
· In lieu of Jams Rule 18, the parties shall have the right to submit a dispositive motion at the outset of the arbitration to the arbitrator. The submission and scheduling of such motions shall be addressed at a conference held before the JAMS arbitrator, and the parties agree that any dispositive motions shall be resolved and the remainder of the arbitration proceeding stayed pending resolution, absent good cause and immediate necessity to proceed;
· Unless and only to the extent prohibited under JAMS Rules, the arbitration shall be exclusively venued in the County of Clark, State of Nevada, or if agreed to between the parties in writing, conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means;
· The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees;
· Except as otherwise waived or limited under these Terms or this Agreement, the JAMS arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including equitable or injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit except: in any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive, exemplary, incidental, indirect, and/or consequential damages, including but not limited to damages for lost profits, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages;
· The arbitration decision and award shall consist of a written statement signed by the arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, as to each claim. Unless the parties agree in writing otherwise, the award shall be a reasoned award and contain a concise written statement of the reasons for the award;
· Except as and to the extent otherwise required by law, the arbitration proceeding, pleadings, and any award shall be treated as confidential and shall not be used by the parties except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its information and enforcement;
· In the event JAMS is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute in accordance with this Agreement, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider subject to the procedural agreements of this section; and
· You and Sleeper agree that any award issued by the arbitrator in excess of $50,000.00 USD in favor of either party, or any award which grants any form of declaratory or equitable relief that would significantly impact other Sleeper users or the operation of the Services, may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration appeal Procedures at either party's election.
12.10 Batch Arbitration. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event twenty (20) or more similar arbitration demands against Sleeper, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization or group of law firms or organizations working cooperatively, are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the procedures described herein, JAMS shall consolidate those arbitrations as contemplated in the JAMS Rules by: a) grouping the arbitration demands into batches of no more than twenty-five (25) demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than twenty-five (25) arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands); and b) providing for a resolution of each batch as a single arbitration with one (1) set of filing and administrative fees and one (1) arbitrator assigned per batch. For the avoidance of doubt, consolidation does not require that all arbitrations in a single batch be decided the same, nor does it impair your right to present any evidence or argument that you think particular to your case, so long as consistent with JAMS Rules. You agree to cooperate in good faith with Sleeper and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees.
12.11 By signing a demand for arbitration, a party certifies, to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: a) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; b) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and c) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery. The arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or any applicable state law for either party's violation of this requirement.
Waiver of Class Relief and Collective Action
12.12 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you shall not be entitled to bring, consolidate, join or coordinate disputes by or against other individuals or entities, or participate in any collective arbitration or arbitrate or litigate any dispute in a representative capacity. You may only arbitrate or litigate on an individual basis for your own losses only. You may not proceed in arbitration or court as a class representative, member or part of any proposed class, collective action or mass arbitration, private attorney general suit, qui tam action or any representative proceeding, or otherwise seek to recover on behalf of others or for the benefit or use of others in any type of claim or action. You agree that you are waiving respective rights to participate in a class action, and that by agreeing to these Terms, you give up your right to participate in any past, pending or future class action or any other consolidated or representative proceeding, including any proceeding existing as of the date you accepted these Terms.
Option and Procedure to Opt-Out of Arbitration
12.13 If you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision in connection with your use of the Services, you may opt-out of the agreement to arbitrate by following the instructions below. If you do not opt-out, the arbitration provisions will apply retroactively to all claims you may possess, whether asserted to date or not.
If you do not wish to agree to the provisions of this section requiring arbitration and you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision connection with your use of the Services, you must send written notice of your intent to opt-out. This notice must include your username, first and last name as registered on your account, e-mail associated with your account, phone number associated with your account, and firmly state your intent to opt out of arbitration. This notice must be received no later than thirty (30) days after your agreement to these Terms and the Agreement at 548 Market Street, PMB 95988, San Francisco, CA 94104, Attn: Blitz Studios, Inc., Legal Department.
You hereby agree to take all reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with counsel (at your expense) regarding the consequences of your decision regarding arbitration.
If you successfully opt out of arbitration, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Clark County, Nevada, for resolution of any and all disputes arising out or related to these Terms, the Services, and/or Privacy Notice.
Severability
12.14 This Agreement applies solely to the extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement or portion thereof, is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part of this Agreement will be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement which shall continue in full force and effect. To the fullest extent allowable by law and equity, the parties agree that any such provision may be blue-penciled or otherwise construed by the forum presiding over any dispute to give effect to the intent of the parties and consistent with the overall purpose and intent of the Agreement, and may be deemed replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.
