You represent and warrant that you are eligible for and have full right and authority to use the Services and to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. You further agree that your use of the Services shall be lawful and that you will comply with the usage rules. In furtherance of the foregoing, and as an example and not as a limitation, you agree that you will not: (a) modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, or disassemble any portion of the Services; (b) restrict or inhibit any other person from use of the Services or interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Services or the servers or networks used to make the Services available or violate any requirements, procedures, policies, or regulations of such networks; (c) create false personas, multiple identities, use bots or other automated software programs to defraud Everyworld or any third party or take any other action which otherwise violates these Terms and Conditions and/or the terms of service of any third-party applications or social networks through which the Services are accessed; (d) attempt to obtain passwords or other private information from other users of the Everyworld Discord Server (“Players”) including personally identifiable information; (e) use the Services if you have previously been removed, prohibited, or banned by Everyworld; (f) develop, distribute, or use any software programs or other applications that allow an individual to cheat or obtain an unintended advantage while using the Services; (g) exploit or distribute any game error or technical glitch that provides an unintended advantage; (h) use the Services to post or transmit any virus, worm, Trojan Horse, easter egg, time bomb, spyware, or other computer code, file, or program that is harmful or invasive or may or is intended to damage or hijack the operation of, or to monitor the use of, any hardware, software, or equipment; or (i) attempt to use the Services on or through any website or service that is not authorized by Everyworld.

4. Eligibility for Drawings

Residents of the United States are ineligible to participate in Everyworld. In addition, residents of the following countries are also ineligible: Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Canada (province of Quebec), Cambodia, Chad, China, Columbia, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Singapore, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Turkey and where otherwise prohibited by law. If you are a resident of one of these countries, do NOT enter a Drawing, as the Drawings are NOT intended for you.

You must be 18 years or older (20 years or older in Japan) to participate in Everyworld.

Residents of these countries or individuals physically located in these countries are prohibited from collecting any payout (“Payout”). For the avoidance of doubt, use of the Services is void where prohibited by law.

5. Points and charitable contributions

Everyworld Development is committed to supporting non-profit charities and the great work that these organizations do each and every day. As part of that commitment, Everyworld Development will donate forty-five percent (45%) of each Payout to an environmental conservation charity designated by Everyworld Development prior to the Drawing.

All donations made by Everyworld Development to the selected charity are processed by Everyworld Development which will take all reasonable steps to attempt to grant funds to the selected charity. However, in the rare event that a selected charity does not satisfy Everyworld Development's grant eligibility requirements, Everyworld Development reserves the right to make the grant to another organization that supports a similar charitable cause. Everyworld Development further reserves the right to withhold grant distributions to charity if the aggregate grants in the prior 30-day period are less than $250. Funds may be held until the total amount of the aggregated grants to an organization exceeds $250.

6. Points, prizes and official sweepstakes rules

There are official rules (“Official Sweepstakes Rules”), which apply to the actual participation in the Drawings on the Everyworld Discord Server as well as other aspects of your experience on the Discord Server not defined in these Terms and Conditions. These Official Sweepstakes Rules are very important and should be reviewed prior to playing any of the games. The Official Sweepstakes Rules can be found here.

20. Binding arbitrations and class waiver

PLEASE READ THESE “BINDING ARBITRATION” AND “CLASS WAIVER” PROVISIONS CAREFULLY, BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES WITH EVERYWORLD AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

THESE PROVISIONS GENERALLY PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST EVERYWORLD. THEY ALSO PRECLUDE YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY PAST, PENDING, OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST EVERYWORLD BY SOMEONE ELSE. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

Scope of Arbitration Provision. You and Everyworld Development agree that any past, pending, or future dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access to or use of any Everyworld Website or Discord Server (including Services) or to these Terms and Conditions (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of these Terms and Conditions) (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration, except that you and Everyworld Development are NOT required to arbitrate any Dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

Waiver of Class Relief. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you agree that you and Everyworld Development will not commence a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding. You and Everyworld Development are each waiving your respective rights to participate in a class action. By accepting this agreement, you give up your right to participate in any past, pending, or future class action or any other consolidated or representative proceeding, including any existing as of the date that you agreed to these Terms and Conditions. Whether to agree to arbitration is an important decision. It is your decision to make, and you are not required to rely solely on the information provided in these Terms and Conditions. You should take reasonable steps to conduct further research and to consult with counsel (at your expense) regarding the consequences of your decision.

Arbitration will be conducted before a one-member panel of JAMS pursuant to the procedural rules of JAMS subject to certain limitations, including (i) the arbitration award shall be limited to actual costs incurred by the claimant and excludes punitive damages, injunctions or any other forms of relief; (ii) the arbitration proceeding will take place in New York, New York; and (iii) any claim or dispute will be resolved individually and NOT as part of a class or group. The arbitration proceeding shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1-16) with the judgment of the arbitrator being enforceable in any United States Federal Court. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, or conflicts with the rules of JAMS, the invalid/unenforceable/illegal provision will be stricken and replaced with a substitute provision which best captures the original intent of Everyworld Development and is valid, enforceable, and legal, with the balance of this arbitration provision remaining in effect. If, however, (iii) above is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a tribunal of competent jurisdiction, then this arbitration provision shall be void in its entirety; and, in such case, any claim or dispute must be brought in either the U.S. District Court for the District of New York or New York State Court (each situated in New York, New York.)

Authority of Arbitrator. With the exception of class procedures and remedies as discussed above under “Waiver of Class Relief” or as otherwise expressly provided herein, the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.

Confidentiality. You and Everyworld Development shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

Allocation of Arbitration Fees. If you assert a Dispute as an individual, you will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 in connection with any arbitration under this section, and Everyworld Development will bear all other costs charged by JAMS or the arbitrator up to $5,000. You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees. You and Everyworld Development agree that any claims or lawsuits, regardless of form, arising out of or related to the Website (including Services) or these Terms and Conditions, the Official Sweeptakes Rules or the Privacy Policy must BE FILED within ONE (1) YEAR of the action, omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the claim or suit, after which such claims will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or repose by law or statute. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration proceedings. If any portion of this section entitled “Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver” is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

21. UK and European Union users and residents

If you are a resident of the UK or the European Union, data protection is a “fundamental right”. You have the right to access and to protect your personal data that has been collected.

22. Entire agreement

These Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, the Official Sweepstakes Rules, and the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Everyworld Development and cannot be modified by you. These Terms and Conditions cannot be modified on an individual basis by any person affiliated, or claiming affiliation, with Everyworld Development. Nothing in this subsection will prevent Everyworld Development from modifying these Terms and Conditions.

23. Severability

If any portion of these Terms and Conditions is deemed void or unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and Conditions and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any portion of any particular section of these Terms and Conditions, including, without limitation, the section entitled “Binding Arbitration and Class Waiver”, is deemed to be unenforceable, the balance of such section shall remain enforceable.

24. Local law

These Terms and Conditions do not purport to supersede the laws of the jurisdiction from which you access the Website or Discord Server to the extent such law is deemed to be applicable to your use of the Services. Everyworld Development will comply with applicable law in all respects regarding your use of the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we will respect all consumer protections provided by applicable law.

27. Headings

The headings titles in these Terms and Conditions are provided solely for convenience and have no legal or contractual significance.

28. Force majeure

We will not be liable in any amount for failure to perform any obligation under these Terms and Conditions if such failure is caused by the occurrence of any unforeseen contingency beyond our reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet outages, communications outages, pandemics, fire, flood, storm, natural cataclysm, governmental regulation, riots, strikes, civil commotion or war.
