CLIENT TERMS OF USE
Forecaster Games
Version Date: November 16, 2020
This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") constitutes a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("user" or "you" or "Client") and XML Team Solutions, LLC, and its affiliated companies (collectively, "Company" or "we" or "us" or "our"), concerning your access to and use of the forecastergames.com platform as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the "Platform"). The Platform provides a service whereby you can adopt, create, launch, and manage online games ("Platform Services") to be played by your end-users ("End-Users"). Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Platform from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Company makes no representation that the Platform is appropriate or available in locations other than where it is operated by Company. The information provided on the Platform 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 Company to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Platform from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
You must be 18 years of age to register for the Platform or use the Platform Services.
YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BY ACKNOWLEDGING SUCH ACCEPTANCE DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND ALSO BY CONTINUING TO USE THE PLATFORM. IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SUCH AUTHORITY YOU MUST NOT ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT USE THE PLATFORM SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ABIDE BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR TO MODIFICATIONS THAT COMPANY MAY MAKE TO THIS AGREEMENT IN THE FUTURE, DO NOT USE OR ACCESS OR CONTINUE TO USE OR ACCESS THE PLATFORM SERVICES OR THE PLATFORM.
PLATFORM SERVICES AND CONTESTS
The Platform allows you to create custom games, or use one of our pre-made game setups (collectively, "Game" or "Games"). The Games can be contests where you can offer prizes to the winners.
Based upon your selections, the Platform will generate a rules document that will be presented to the players. The rules document describes how to register, the method of selection of winners, descriptions of prizes, and other related details. The rules generated by the Platform serve as a sample that you may use 'as is,' or may use your own game rules document, which would be accompanied by Company's own supplemental terms. In any case, you are required to familiarize yourself with the rules, and have them reviewed by your legal counsel. Accordingly, Company does not take any responsibility for the final form of game rules that you determine to use.
The Games conducted via the Platform do not have any functionality to process payments from End-Users to participate in the Games. If you decide to charge players to participate in your Game, all such charges will be effected outside of the Game operation.
You are responsible for compliance with all local, county, state, federal and foreign laws and regulations relating to gaming, contests and sweepstakes. The way you structure your Games, where you are located, and the jurisdictions in which your End-Users are located, will determine what regulations and laws will apply. We advise you to engage competent counsel as necessary to ensure all such legal compliance with your use and operation of the Games. Company does not supervise your operation of your Games and takes no responsibility for such legal compliance, and you hereby waive any right to take any legal action against Company arising out of any legal compliance issues relating to the Games that you operate on the Platform.
The Platform allows you to customize your Games by uploading your logo and images, and also to include sponsorships and/or advertisements. It is your responsibility to collect from sponsors all fees for such advertisements.
The Platform will present our Privacy Policy to your players and also allow you to include a link to your privacy policy. You agree to comply with all data protection regulations and laws applicable to personal information that you collect from your End-Users.
Company reserves the right to terminate or suspend the operation of any Game at any time without notice for any reason, and without any liability to you, in Company’s sole discretion, including without limitation, if Company believes that the Game may be in violation of any regulation or law, or if continued operation of the Game may pose a threat to any person or to Company.
PURCHASES; PAYMENT
Company bills you through an online billing account for use of the Platform Services. You agree to pay Company all charges at the prices then in effect for the services you or other persons using your billing account may purchase, and you authorize Company to charge your chosen payment provider for any such purchases. You agree to make payment using that selected payment method. If you have ordered a service that is subject to recurring charges then you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis, without requiring your prior approval from you for each recurring charge until such time as you cancel the applicable service. Company reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. Company may change prices at any time. All payments shall be in U.S. dollars. Charges that are not disputed within 30 days of the date charged are conclusively deemed accurate.
Company may offer free trial access and/or subscriptions to the Platform Service. A free trial may or may not require providing a payment method. If you are required to provide a payment method, then your paid access will automatically begin upon termination of the trial period, unless you cancel prior to that time. You will be notified prior to any such charges and will be provided an opportunity to cancel. If you are not required to provide a payment method, then when the trial period ends, your access to the Platform Service will cease.
Fees are exclusive of taxes and you will pay or reimburse Company for all taxes arising out of this Agreement, whether assessed at the time of your purchase or are thereafter determined to have been due. "Taxes" means any sales, use and other taxes (other than taxes on Company’s income), export and import fees, customs duties and similar charges applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are imposed by any government or other authority. You agree to promptly provide Company with legally sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction for which you claim exemption.
Your account consists of credits ("Credits") that are pre-purchased online, and may be applied towards the licensing of Games and other products and services offered by Company. Credits may be subject to expiration dates of 5 years from date of purchase. At Company's discretion, Company may elect to provide a 50% refund for some or all expiring Credits.
Your account will be considered delinquent if you or your payment method fails to pay the amount billed to it. Your account may be suspended, archived or purged from the Platform if your account is delinquent for more than 30 days. Company may impose a charge to restore archived data from delinquent accounts.
Company may choose to bill through an invoice. Full payment for invoices issued in any given month must be received by Company 30 days after the mailing date of the invoice, or the Platform Service may be terminated. Unpaid invoices are subject to interest of 1% per month on any outstanding balance or the maximum permitted by law, plus all expenses of collection, including attorneys’ fees.
REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY
All Credit purchases are final and no refunds shall be issued.
If Credits are applied to a Game whose underlying predictive events become cancelled prior to the start of the Game, then upon Client request those Credits applied to the Game shall get refunded to the Client's Credit account.
If the majority of underlying predictive events are cancelled for a majority of the weeks that generate End-User scoring for a Game, then upon Client request 50% of those Credits applied to the Game shall get refunded to the Client's Credit account.
Company reserves the unilateral right to modify, extend, suspend, and/or cancel any Game if it believes that Clients will not be able to offer the Game as originally intended.
To cancel the Platform Services ordered, you must follow the process we specify on our Platform. If you cancel, the Platform Services will end upon your cancellation, and your Credits will be cancelled.
