Accordingly, you may not sublicense, trade, sell or attempt to sell in-game Virtual Items for "real" money, or exchange Virtual Items for value of any kind outside of a game, without PeerPlay's written permission.

Prices and availability of Virtual Items are subject to change without notice. In addition to the foregoing, PeerPlay may selectively remove or revoke Virtual Items associated with your Account upon its sole discretion.

Virtual Items may only be purchased or acquired from us and through means we provide on the applicable website or otherwise expressly authorize. PeerPlay does not recognize any purchases or transfers made outside of the Service on any other platform or e-commerce website, and shall not be liable for any claims or damages caused to the users with respect to Virtual Items purchased or obtained from third parties, and not through the means provided within the game. We reserve the right to refuse your request to purchase and/or acquire Virtual Items for any reason or revise the pricing for the Virtual Items at any time. You can get a limited license to Virtual Items by visiting the purchase page in one of our games, providing your billing information, confirming the particulars of your purchase and re-affirming your agreement to these Terms. Virtual Items purchased in our games on other applications stores or platforms such as but not limited to Apple iOS or Android will be subject to those platforms' payment terms and conditions. PeerPlay does not control how you can pay on those platforms and shall not be liable for processing the payment by such third parties. Please review those platforms' terms of service for additional information. Your order for Virtual Items will represent an offer to us to obtain a limited license for the relevant service(s) or virtual in-game item(s) which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card or other account through which you paid, whichever comes first. Your limited license to Virtual Items for use in PeerPlay games is a service provided by PeerPlay that starts when we accept your payment or redemption of third party virtual currency. When you get a limited license to use Virtual Items, they will reside in your Account until discharged through use of the Service or otherwise surrendered as a result of termination of the Services in accordance with these Terms. When purchasing Virtual Items or other content as may be made available, you agree to pay us the applicable charges for your purchase, including applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you, using a valid charge card or other payment method we may accept in accordance with the billing terms and prices in effect at the time the fee or charge becomes payable. All sales of Virtual Items and/or other content are final. If your Account is charged for items you did not purchase, or you did not receive the items you purchased, or you were charged an incorrect amount, you may request a refund or correction in accordance to payment provider policy. Any refund request must be received within 96 hours from the time of purchase in order for refunds to be issued in accordance to payment provider policy. Refund requests past 96 hours from time of purchase will be honored according only in accordance to our payment policy. Other than charges to your Account, you agree to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within 30 days after they first appear on your Account statement. If you do not bring them to our attention within 30 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. You are responsible for and agree to reimburse us for all reversals, charge-backs, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by us (including costs and related expenses) that were caused by or arising out of payments that you authorized or accepted. You understand that we may suspend or terminate your Account if for any reason a charge you authorize us to make to your credit card or other method of payment cannot be processed or is returned to us unpaid and, if such event occurs, you shall immediately remit to us payment for such charge through an alternative payment method. You acknowledge that PeerPlay is not required to provide a refund for any other reason, and that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused virtual items when an Account is closed, whether such closure was voluntary or involuntary, or whether you made a payment through peerplay.com, applications stores or another platform such as but not limited to Apple, Google, or any other sites or platforms where we offer our Services. All Virtual Items are forfeited by You if your Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in PeerPlay's sole and absolute discretion, or if the Service is no longer available. If your Account, or a particular subscription for the Service associated with your Account, is terminated, suspended and/or if any Virtual Items are selectively removed or revoked from your Account, no refund will be granted, no Virtual Items will be credited to you or converted to cash or other forms of reimbursement.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, GOVERNING LAWS AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND PEERPLAY TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND PEERPLAY CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.

 

By agreeing to these Terms, you and PeerPlay agree that any and all past, present and future disputes, claims or causes of action between you and PeerPlay arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, the formation of these Terms or any other dispute between you and PeerPlay or any of PeerPlay's licensors, distributors, suppliers or agents (including but not limited to any application store or platform from which the Service is accessed or downloaded), and whether arising prior to or after your agreement to this Section, (collectively, “Dispute(s)”) will be governed by the procedure outlined below.  You and PeerPlay further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall not proceed as a class, group or representative action.

 

“Country of Residence” for purposes of this Section 15 means the country in which you hold citizenship or legal permanent residence, as well as any country from which you regularly access and use the Service.  If more than one country meets that definition for you, then your country of citizenship or legal permanent residence shall be your Country of Residence, and if you have more than one country of citizenship or legal permanent residence, it shall be the country with which you most closely are associated by permanent or most frequent residence.

 

(a) Governing Law. 

(a.1) If your Country of Residence is the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel without regard to conflict- or choice-of-law principles.  The agreement to arbitrate contained in this Section 15, its scope and its enforcement shall also be governed by the United States Federal Arbitration Act without regard to conflict- or choice-of-law principles.

 

(a.2) If your Country of Residence is not the United States, these Terms, including the arbitration agreement contained in this Section 15, will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel without regard to conflict- or choice-of-law principles. 

 

(b) Informal Dispute Resolution. 

PeerPlay wants to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case.  Before filing a claim against PeerPlay, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting HQ@peerplay.com.  Similarly, PeerPlay will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you (if we have contact information for you) to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you or PeerPlay may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below.

 

(c) We Both Agree To Arbitrate.

By agreeing to these Terms, you and PeerPlay each and both agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein, except as set forth under “Exceptions to Agreement To Arbitrate” below.

 

(d) Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate.

You may decline this agreement to arbitrate bycontacting HQ@peerplay.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.  By opting out of the agreement to arbitrate, you will not be precluded from using the Service, but you and PeerPlay will not permitted to invoke the mutual agreement to arbitrate to resolve Disputes under the terms otherwise provided herein.

 

(e) Residents of the State of Washington, USA.

If you are a resident of the State of Washington or were a resident of that state while using the Service at any time since January 1, 2014, then this Section 15 does not apply to you, with the sole exception of the choice of law (Israel) set out in (a.1) above. For clarity, residents of the State of Washington are not agreeing to arbitrate and need take no action to avoid application of the agreement to arbitrate.

 

(f) Arbitration Procedures and Fees.

(f.1)  If your Country of Residence is the United States, you and PeerPlay agree that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes in effect at the time arbitration is sought.  Those rules are available at www.adr.org.  Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules.  You and PeerPlay further agree that the arbitration will be held in New York, New York, or, at your election, will be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means.  The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.  

 

(f.2) If your Country of Residence is not the United States, you and PeerPlay agree that the Center of Arbitration and Dispute Resolution (www.israelcourts.co.il (“CADR”) will administer the arbitration, which shall be conducted in accordance with its rules in effect at the time arbitration is sought, and in accordance with the Israeli Arbitration Law, 5728-1968, as amended. Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules.  You and PeerPlay further agree that the arbitration will be held in English and in Tel Aviv-Jaffa (Israel) , or, if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means. The CADR rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. 

 

(g) Arbitration Shall Proceed Individually.

Regardless of your County of Residence or the rules of a given arbitration forum, you and PeerPlay agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor PeerPlay may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and as an illustrative but not exhaustive example), a claim to resolve any Dispute against PeerPlay will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. “Concurrently” for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.

 

(h) Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR PEERPLAY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION (AS DEFINED ABOVE) OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF SUBSECTIONS (G) OR (H) OF THIS SECTION 15 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS) ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS SECTION 15 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS) MAY BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT UPON EITHER party's ELECTION.

 

(i) Judicial Forum for Disputes.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and PeerPlay agree that any judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel.  Both you and PeerPlay consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

 

16. GENERAL

You are subject to all laws of the geography in which you reside and from which you access the Services and are solely responsible for obeying those laws. You agree PeerPlay cannot be held liable if laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit your participation. PeerPlay makes no representations or warranties, implicit or explicit, as to your legal right to access or participate in the Services nor shall any person affiliated, or claiming affiliation, with PeerPlay have authority to make any such representations or warranties. PeerPlay reserves the right to monitor the location from which you access the Services and to block access from any jurisdiction in which participation is illegal or restricted.

 

The PeerPlay's Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and PeerPlay relating to the subject matter hereof, and (except in the case of fraud or made a fraudulent misstatement) supersede all prior understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, whether those prior understandings were electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us. Nothing in this subsection will prevent PeerPlay from modifying the PeerPlay's Terms.

 

You and PeerPlay agree that if any portion of the PeerPlay's Terms is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the PeerPlay's Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

 

PeerPlay may assign or delegate the PeerPlay's Terms, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the PeerPlay's Terms without PeerPlay's prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void and ineffective.

 

The failure of PeerPlay to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of the PeerPlay's Terms or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of PeerPlay's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by PeerPlay of any provision, condition, or requirement of the PeerPlay's Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement. Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by PeerPlay shall be deemed a modification of these Terms nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by you and a duly appointed officer of PeerPlay.

 

You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under the PeerPlay's Terms to PeerPlay are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm PeerPlay and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone.
