1. Introduction

Welcome to www.pledgeplay.com (including all subdomains including lls.play2cures.org, the “Site”), a web site owned and operated by Game 7 Entertainment, Inc. (“Game 7”). The following terms and conditions and any operating rules, policies, and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by Game 7 (collectively, “Terms of Use”) describe the terms and conditions applicable to your use of the Site and our services offered through the Site. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT ACCESS THE SITE OR USE OUR SERVICES.

These Terms of Use govern access to and use of certain non-public restricted areas of the Site by individuals with a registered account at the Site (“Registered Users”) and by individuals authorized to use tokens received from Registered Users to play games on the Site (“Authorized Players”), as well as access to non-restricted areas of the Site by others (“Visitors”). For purposes of these Terms of Use, “you” or “your” refers to Registered Users, Authorized Players and/or Visitors, as applicable, and “Site” refers to restricted and/or non-restricted areas of the Site, as applicable. “We,” “our” and “us” refers to Game 7.

By accessing the Site, you represent to us that you have the ability and the authority to (a) agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and (b) provide the personal information requested by Game 7 in connection with the Site.

To become and remain a Registered User, you must: (a) be an individual of at least the age of majority in your state of residence and otherwise able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law; (b) provide certain current, complete, and accurate information about yourself on the registration form available on the Site (“Registration Data”); (c) maintain and update the Registration Data as required to keep information current, complete, and accurate; (d) provide all equipment, including a computer and modem, necessary to access to the World Wide Web; and (e) pay any telephone or other service fees associated with such access.

Game 7 will treat the Registration Data and all other personally identifiable information it collects in accordance with Game 7’s Privacy Policy.  Accordingly, for those registrants who opt-in to receive communications from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the LLS Privacy Policy pertains (see: http://www.lls.org/all_page?item_id=4506 )

3. Registered User Accounts

As a Registered User, you will be permitted to participate in Registered User Activities on the Site through a combination of a unique user name (“User Name”) and a password you select (“Password”) upon Game 7’s review and acceptance of your Registration Data. Your Registered User account, User Name and Password are not transferable to any third party. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your own User Name and Password and for any and all activities which occur under your User Name and Password.

4. Tokens and Game Play

As a Registered User, you may play any of the unique games offered in connection with Events on the Site upon payment of a donation to LLS’ Play2Cures, which we also sometimes refer to on the Site as a “pledge.” 

Donations are due and payable by credit card prior to accessing and playing games on the Site. Once you have submitted your donation, your donation is non-refundable. You hereby authorize LLS to charge all fees you incur on the Site to the credit card you identify at the time of your purchase and you represent and warrant that you are an authorized user of such credit card. LLS is authorized to charge payment equal only to the amount of the applicable donation identified on the Site.  A designated portion of all donations received will be paid to Game 7 by our partner charities.

Upon payment of a donation in connection with any Event on the Site (an “Event Site”), you will be issued one non-refundable, transferable token per dollar of donation paid. Each token will enable you to play one game on the Event Site any time during the Event and the 30 days after the specified Event termination date. The results of game play for each game will be posted on a leaderboard on the Site using each player’s designated leaderboard name.

You may not access, download, use or export the Site or the content thereof in violation of applicable laws or regulations.

21. Notices

All Notices under these Terms of Use must be provided in writing. If you have provided us with an email address, we may provide notices to you in electronic form via an email to such address. You may submit notices to us at our email address, support@pledgeplay.com. Notices sent by email will be deemed given twenty-four (24) hours after the email is sent, unless the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, you may send notices to us by regular U.S. mail, postage prepaid to Game 7’s address provided below and, if you have provided us with a postal address, we may send notices to you at such address by regular U.S. mail, postage prepaid. Notices sent by U.S. mail will be deemed given upon actual receipt, or if earlier, three (3) business days after mailing. Game 7 may also broadcast notices or messages on the Site.

22. Arbitration

Except as otherwise provided in Section 23 below, all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in Orange County, California, in accordance with: (a) the Federal Arbitration Act; (b) the then-current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”); and (c) these Terms of Use. The terms set forth in these Terms of Use will control in the event of any inconsistency between such terms and the AAA rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator reasonably familiar with the technology and business covered by these Terms of Use selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties fail to select an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the date of either party’s notice of demand to conduct arbitration, then the AAA will appoint an arbitrator in accordance with its rules. The award of the arbitrator will be in writing setting forth findings of fact and conclusions of law. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award will be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s fees will be shared equally by the parties and each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees. All papers, documents, or evidence, whether written or oral, filed with or presented in connection with the arbitration proceeding will be deemed by the parties and by the arbitrator to be confidential information of both parties.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Use, either you or Game 7 may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction at any time. You and Game 7 are independent parties; nothing in these Terms of Use is to create any agency, joint venture, partnership or similar relationship between us.

These Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, any operating rules, policies, or procedures that may be posted from time to time by Game 7 on the Site, and any modifications to the foregoing constitute the entire agreement between you and Game 7 relating to your access to and use of the Site and our services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications or agreements between you and Game 7 with respect thereto.

The failure of Game 7 to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver by Game 7 of any right or provision of these Terms of Use must be in writing. Any such waiver arising from a breach of these Terms of Use is not to be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches. If any provision of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then, to the extent possible, it will be replaced with a provision which accomplishes the original purpose of the provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect. All remedies available under these Terms of Use are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. A printed version of these Terms of Use and of any notice given in electronic form in accordance with these Terms of Use will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

Sections 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 19, 21, 22 and 23 will survive termination of these Terms of Use.
