These Terms are entered into by and between Carillon Gaming, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") and the individual, or entity on whose behalf the individual is, accessing or using the Services ("User," "you," or "your"). If you access or use the Services on behalf of an organization, school, team, club, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" includes that entity.
By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, accessing the Services, clicking "I agree," or otherwise using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Services.

3.- Accounts and Security
3.1.- To use certain Services, you must create an Account and provide accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to keep your Account information updated.
3.2.- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your Account. You must promptly notify us at pokerwize.support@carillongaming.com if you suspect unauthorized access to or use of your Account.
3.3.- You may not share, sell, lease, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise provide access to your Account except as expressly permitted by your subscription plan or by us in writing.

4.1.- Certain Services require a paid subscription.

4.2.- By purchasing a subscription, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge all applicable fees, taxes, and other amounts to your selected payment method on a recurring basis until the subscription is cancelled or terminated.
4.3.- Unless otherwise stated at purchase, subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period.

Each person is only entitled to one fourteen-day refund window. Successive sign-ups and refunds are prohibited.

21.- Dispute Resolution; Informal Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
21.1. Scope; Consumer Rights Preserved.
(a) Except as provided in Sections 21.2, 21.3, and 21.12, you and Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or Materials, or both, your account, any purchase, subscription, digital item, virtual currency, online game streaming feature, communications from or with Company, or the validity, interpretation, breach, termination, enforcement, or scope of these Terms will be resolved under this Section 21. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COMPANY ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING..
(b) Nothing in this Section 21 limits any non-waivable rights, remedies, or protections that apply to you under the laws of the country, state, province, territory, or other place where you are habitually resident, including any right to bring a claim before a court or regulator where that right cannot lawfully be waived by contract. If applicable law prohibits mandatory arbitration of a particular claim, that claim may be brought in a court or other forum of competent jurisdiction, and the rest of this Section 21 will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
21.2. Informal Dispute Resolution Required First.
(a) Before either party begins arbitration or court proceedings, the party raising the dispute must first provide written notice of the dispute and allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to resolve it informally. A notice from you to Company must be sent to Carillon Gaming, Inc., Attention: Legal (Dispute Notice), 6111 128th Avenue NE, KirklandWA98033-8510, United States, legal@carillongaming.com, or to any legal-notice email address or dispute-submission portal that Company makes available for this purpose. A notice from Company to you may be sent to the email address, account message center, billing address, or other contact information associated with your account.
(b) The notice must include: (a) the name and contact information of the party giving notice; (b) the email address, username, account ID, or transaction information associated with the Service, or Materials, or both, if applicable; (c) a description of the nature and basis of the dispute; and (d) the specific relief sought. The parties will use good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after receipt of the notice, unless applicable law requires a longer or shorter period or both parties agree to extend the period.
21.3. Arbitration Agreement.
(a) If a dispute is not resolved through the informal process in Section 21.2, and if arbitration of the dispute is lawful in the jurisdiction that applies to you, the dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except as expressly stated in this Section 21. Arbitration is conducted by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitration may be less formal than court litigation, may provide for more limited discovery, and is subject to limited judicial review, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
(b) This agreement to arbitrate applies to all legal theories, including contract, tort, statute, consumer-protection law, privacy law, fraud, misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, negligence, and any other legal or equitable theory, whether the dispute arose before, during, or after your use of the Service, or Materials, or both, or termination of these Terms. The arbitrator will have authority to decide disputes about the interpretation, applicability, formation, scope, validity, and enforceability of this Section 21, except that any dispute about the validity or enforceability of the class-action, collective-action, private-attorney-general, or representative-action waiver in Section 21.9 must be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction unless applicable law permits the arbitrator to decide that issue.
21.4. Exceptions to Arbitration.
Nothing in this Section 21 prevents either party from:
(a) bringing an individual claim in small-claims court, or the closest equivalent court or tribunal available in the jurisdiction where you reside, if the claim qualifies and remains on an individual, non-representative basis;
(b) seeking temporary, preliminary, or emergency injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, account security, platform integrity, service availability, or against unauthorized access, cheating, hacking, scraping, botting, circumvention, or misuse of the Service, or Materials, or both;
(c) filing or participating in a complaint, investigation, or enforcement action before an applicable regulator, consumer-protection authority, data-protection authority, or other governmental agency, where that right cannot be waived;
(d) bringing an intellectual-property infringement, misappropriation, or enforcement claim in a court of competent jurisdiction; or
(e) pursuing any claim that applicable law does not permit to be resolved by mandatory arbitration.
21.5. Arbitration Rules; Administrator.
(a) For users who are habitually resident in the United States, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms, unless the parties agree otherwise or the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration. The AAA rules and forms are available at www.adr.org.
(b) For users who are habitually resident in Canada, the arbitration will be administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution Canada or, if that provider is unavailable, declines to administer, or cannot lawfully administer the dispute, by another reputable arbitration provider that can lawfully administer Canadian consumer arbitration in the province or territory where you reside. Any arbitration involving a Canadian consumer will be conducted only to the extent permitted by applicable federal, provincial, or territorial consumer-protection law, and nothing in this Section 21 prevents you from bringing a claim before a court, tribunal, regulator, or consumer-protection authority where that right cannot be waived.
(c) For users who are habitually resident outside the United States and Canada, the arbitration will be administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution under its International Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms, unless the parties agree otherwise or the ICDR is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration. If the ICDR is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the arbitration will be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce under the ICC Rules of Arbitration, as modified by these Terms.
(d) If the designated administrator is unavailable, declines to administer, or cannot lawfully administer the dispute, the parties will jointly select a substitute arbitration provider that can lawfully administer consumer or cross-border arbitration in the relevant jurisdiction. If the parties cannot agree on a substitute provider within 30 days, either party may ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator or administrator, and the arbitration will proceed to the fullest extent permitted by law.
21.6. Seat, Place, Language, and Remote Proceedings.
Unless applicable law requires otherwise:
(a) for users habitually resident in the United States, the seat of arbitration will be Washington, USA;
(b) for users habitually resident in Canada, the seat of arbitration will be the province or territory of your habitual residence, unless you and Company agree otherwise after the dispute arises or applicable law permits another seat without impairing your non-waivable consumer rights;
(c) for users habitually resident outside the United States and Canada, the seat of arbitration will be Seattle, Washington, USA, unless that seat would make this Section 21 unenforceable or materially impair a non-waivable consumer right, in which case the seat will be a neutral or locally required seat selected by the arbitrator or administrator to preserve enforceability;
(d) the arbitration will be conducted in English, unless applicable law requires use of another language or the arbitrator determines that another language is necessary for fairness;
(e) hearings may be conducted by video conference, telephone, documents-only process, or other remote means unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary or applicable law requires otherwise; and
(f) if an in-person hearing is required, it will be held in a location that is reasonably convenient for you or as otherwise required by applicable consumer law.
21.7. Fees and Costs.
(a) The parties will pay arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees as required by the applicable arbitration rules and any mandatory law. If you are a consumer and applicable law requires Company to pay some or all arbitration fees or costs for this Section 21 to be enforceable, Company will pay those fees and costs to the extent required. If the administrator or arbitrator determines that you cannot afford fees that would be required to pursue an individual arbitration, or that the allocation of fees would make arbitration unavailable or unfair under applicable law, Company will pay or advance the fees necessary for the arbitration to proceed, subject to any later allocation permitted by applicable law.
(b) Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards fees or costs under applicable law, the applicable arbitration rules, or a written agreement between the parties. The arbitrator may not award fees or costs in a way that would deprive a consumer of non-waivable statutory protections.
21.8. Arbitration Procedure and Relief.
(a) The arbitrator may award any individual relief that would be available in a court of competent jurisdiction, including damages, statutory remedies, declaratory relief, and injunctive or equitable relief, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party’s individual claim, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
(b) The arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision stating the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, unless the parties agree otherwise or the applicable rules provide a different procedure. The award will be final and binding on the parties, subject to any judicial review available under applicable law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(c) For cross-border disputes, the parties intend that any arbitral award be enforceable under applicable arbitration laws and international conventions, including the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958, where applicable.
21.9. Individual Proceedings Only; No Class or Representative Actions.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff, claimant, class member, or representative in any class, collective, consolidated, mass, private-attorney-general, public-injunctive-relief, or representative proceeding.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, preside over any class, collective, mass, private-attorney-general, public-injunctive-relief, or representative proceeding, or award relief for or against anyone who is not a party to the arbitration.
(c) If applicable law does not permit waiver of a particular class, collective, representative, public-injunctive-relief, or private-attorney-general claim or remedy, then that claim or request for relief must be severed from arbitration and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, but only after the arbitration of all arbitrable individual claims is completed, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
21.10. Batch or Coordinated Filings.
If 25 or more claimants represented by the same or coordinated counsel file or threaten to file arbitration demands raising substantially similar claims against Company, the arbitrations may be administered in batches or bellwether proceedings if permitted by the applicable arbitration rules and consistent with applicable law. The administrator or arbitrator may adopt procedures designed to promote efficient, fair, and individualized resolution, including staged filing fees, coordinated case management, representative bellwether proceedings, or other procedures that preserve each claimant’s right to individual adjudication. No batch, bellwether, or coordinated procedure may operate as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding unless both parties expressly agree in writing or applicable law requires otherwise.
21.11. Opt-Out Right.
(a) You may opt out of binding arbitration under this Section 21 within 30 days after the date you first accept these Terms, create an account, or otherwise become bound by this Section 21, whichever occurs first. To opt out, you must send Company a written notice stating that you wish to opt out of arbitration and including your full legal name, the email address associated with your account, your username or account ID if available, and your country of residence.
(b) You may send the opt-out notice to Company, Inc., Attention: Legal (Arbitration Opt-Out), 1000 SE Everett Mall Way #40p, Everett, WA 98208, USA, or to any legal-notice email address or arbitration opt-out method that Company makes available. If you timely opt out, this Section 21 will not require you or Company to arbitrate disputes with each other, but the rest of the Terms will continue to apply.
21.12. Jurisdiction-Specific Consumer Terms.
If you are a consumer habitually resident in a jurisdiction where pre-dispute consumer arbitration agreements, jury waivers, class-action waivers, representative-action waivers, forum-selection clauses, or governing-law clauses are restricted, prohibited, or enforceable only under specific conditions, this Section 21 applies only to the extent permitted by the laws of that jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing:
(a) if you reside in a country or region whose law gives you the right to bring consumer claims in your local courts, nothing in this Section 21 limits that non-waivable right;
(b) if you are a consumer habitually resident in Canada, this Section 21 applies only to the extent permitted by the consumer-protection, class-proceedings, arbitration, and court-jurisdiction laws of your province or territory. If those laws prohibit mandatory pre-dispute arbitration of your claim, require arbitration only after the dispute arises, preserve your right to participate in a class proceeding, or give you a non-waivable right to bring a claim in a local court, tribunal, regulator, or consumer-protection authority, those rights are preserved and control over any conflicting term in this Section 21;
(c) if you reside in a country or region whose law permits arbitration of consumer disputes only after the dispute has arisen, this Section 21 will operate as an agreement to consider arbitration after the dispute arises and not as a mandatory pre-dispute arbitration agreement;
(d) if local law requires Company to bear arbitration costs, provide translated terms, use a local arbitral body, use a local seat, or provide additional notices for arbitration to be enforceable, this Section 21 will be interpreted to include those requirements to the fullest extent necessary to preserve enforceability; and
(e) if any part of this Section 21 conflicts with mandatory consumer, data-protection, platform, gaming, digital-services, payment, or online-safety law applicable to you, the mandatory law will control only to the extent of the conflict.
21.13. Changes to this Section.
If Company makes a material change to this Section 21 after the date you first accepted it, Company will provide notice as required by the Terms or applicable law. You may reject the material change by sending written notice to Company within 30 days after receiving notice of the change. If you reject the change, the prior version of this Section 21 will continue to govern disputes between you and Company unless you and Company agree otherwise. Company may terminate or suspend your account or access to the Service, or Materials, or both prospectively if you reject a material change to this Section 21, but any termination or suspension will not affect either party’s rights or obligations that accrued before termination.
21.14. Severability and Survival.
(a) If any portion of this Section 21 is found to be invalid, unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that portion will be severed or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of this Section 21 will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, if Section 21.9 is found unenforceable in a way that would permit a class, collective, consolidated, mass, private-attorney-general, public-injunctive-relief, or representative arbitration, then the affected claim or request for relief must be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction, not in arbitration, unless both parties expressly agree otherwise in writing after the dispute arises.
(b) This Section 21 survives any termination of these Terms, termination or suspension of your account, deletion of the Service, or both, cancellation of a subscription, chargeback, refund, account closure, or cessation of your use of the Service, or Materials, or both.
21.15. Court Forum if Arbitration Does Not Apply.
If a dispute is not subject to arbitration under this Section 21, the dispute will be resolved in the courts identified in the governing-law and forum-selection section of these Terms, except to the extent applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring the dispute in another court, tribunal, regulator, or forum.
