11. Prizes, Delivery Charges & Taxes
General. The games offered on the Application allow the User to win a prize (in our claw-based games, this typically means catching the prize and dropping it into the prize drop chute). Despite the aforementioned, the Company makes no guarantees to you that you will actually win a prize by using the Application. All decisions regarding prizes and winnings will be made in Company’s sole and absolute discretion and will be final and binding in all respects.
The prizes offered on the game machines are products of third party suppliers. Regarding the prizes, the Company is not liable for the quality, defects, color, variations from the picture, including any claim under any theory of product liability or any descriptions that are provided by the applicable manufacturers and/or distributors of the prizes. As such, the User acknowledges that the Company’s sole responsibility is to arrange the delivery of the prize to the winning User at the address provided by such User to the Company. We shall make reasonable effort to deliver prizes within seven (7) weeks, however, shipping is done by third party service providers and therefore the exact shipping time is not guaranteed. Please be advised that when processing a high or unusual number of shipments, your shipment may be delayed.
Delivery and Non-Receipt Policy. Users must inform the Company within a reasonable period if they encounter any delivery issues concerning a prize. Should a User report non-receipt of a prize for the first time after three (3) months from the date of fulfillment, the Company will not be liable for any form of compensation to the User.
Shipping/Delivery Charges & Taxes. The User acknowledges that in order to play the game and/or obtain a prize they have won, they may encounter taxes and/or additional handling fees as per the local laws and procedures applicable in your country. To that end, the User acknowledges and agrees as follows:
In the event that in the course of playing the games offered by the Application, the User wins a prize, the User may need to pay the delivery and shipping expenses and charges (including, for the sake of clarity, charges for releasing the package from the local post office or carrier) for having the prize delivered to the User at User’s address provided to the Company. The User undertakes to pay such delivery expenses, as will be indicated by the applicable third party courier service provider and waives any complaints against the Company with that respect and the Company reserves its right to cause the delivery of the prize to the winning User only following the payment of the shipping and handling fees by such User.
In addition to these shipping and handling fees, the User is responsible for any applicable customs duties or any other taxes, levies or charges (whether federal, state or local), including VAT, associated with playing the game, including the purchase of Coins and obtaining a prize (or winning a game or Coins in general). For example, certain U.S. states may impose a sales tax in connection with your purchase of Coins and such sales tax is your sole responsibility (and, for the sake of clarity, if the relevant app store will add such a sales tax to the price of the Coins published in the Application, the Company shall not be under any obligation to reimburse the User therefor). The Company maintains the right to deduct or withhold any applicable taxes payable by you from the price paid by the User for the Coins (including withholding taxes) as required by the applicable tax laws. In any event, the Company does not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in this Agreement or on the Application be construed as tax advice.
Unclaimed Prizes. Prizes may only be claimed within thirty (30) days after winning the prize, after which you shall not be entitled to claim such prizes and the Company may sell, award or dispose of such unclaimed prizes at its sole discretion. The Company may choose (but is not obligated) to allow you to convert unclaimed prizes into Coins.
Returning a Damaged Prize. It is hereby clarified that the prizes won will not be returnable or exchangeable, except in the event the prize received by winner was delivered damaged or broken, in which case, the winning User must notify the Company about the incident within five (5) business days following the receipt of the prize. The notification must be emailed by the winning User to: support@claw.games. Following a timely and valid notification provided to the Company, the winning User will return the damaged prize to the Company, at User’s cost to address provided by the Company.
Upon receiving the damaged or broken prize that is underlying a timely and valid notice, the Company will ship a replacement product similar to the prize to the User. In the event an identical prize replacement is not possible due to the prize being out of stock or otherwise not practicable, the Company will offer the winning User an alternative item equal in value to the non-replaceable prize, and will ship the User the alternative item chosen by the User, at the Company’s expense.
Publicity. Other than as may be prohibited by law, by registering to the Application or Services, you hereby consent that the Company may publicly display your username, profile picture (if any), game records and prizes, and to use this information for promotional purposes.

17. Binding Arbitration
17.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Services that cannot be resolved in Small Claims Tribunal will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis ("Disputes"), except that you and the Company are not required to arbitrate any dispute for enforcement or infringement of either party's Intellectual Property Rights ("Excluded Disputes"). Any and all Disputes relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity are not Excluded Disputes.
17.2 Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute-resolution provision. Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Any Disputes where the total amount sought is less than $10,000 USD may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For Disputes where the total amount sought is $10,000 USD or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the arbitral forum's rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
17.3 Additional Rules for Non-appearance Arbitration. If non-appearance arbitration is elected, the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, written submissions, or any combination of the three; the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
17.4 Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.
17.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, OTHER THAN IN RESPECT OF EXCLUDED DISPUTES.

If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 17.12 below.
17.7 Confidentiality. No part of the procedures will be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order, or unless required by law.

17.8 Right to Waive. Any rights and limitations set forth in this arbitration agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver will not waive or affect any other portion of this arbitration agreement.
17.9 Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor the Company can force the other to arbitrate.

Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Application or the Services must be submitted within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
The Company does not provide support services to the Users with respect to the Application or the Services, and in the event support was received, the Company will not be obligated to continue such support at any time. The Company may send the User emails for communicating certain products and services to User, which we may discontinue at any time. This Agreement, as updated from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between us, with respect to the terms and conditions governing your use of the Application and supersedes all previous written or oral agreements between us. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be struck and the remaining provisions will be enforced. The section headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and in no way limit or describe the scope of a particular section. Company’s failure to enforce any breach of this Agreement by you or others does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the terms of this Agreement in the future for a similar breach.
This Agreement and any legally binding document relating to your use of the Application and Services, may be assigned by the Company subject to Company’s sole discretion, to any third party in the event of merger or acquisition and you may not assign or transfer the Agreement or any rights thereunder.
