OTHER LEGAL RESTRICTIONS

CONTEST OF SKILL

Contests offered on the Website are contests of skill. Winners are determined by the objective criteria described in the Contest deadline, roster, Rules, scoring, and any other applicable documentation associated with the Contest. From all entries received for each Contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant information and to accumulate the most points according to the corresponding scoring rules. The Website and Contests may not be used for any form of illicit gambling.

CONTEST RESULTS

Contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results at the completion of the last BlabberPoints of each individual Contest. Once Contest results are reviewed and graded, prizes are awarded. The scoring results of a Contest will not be changed regardless of any official statistics or scoring adjustments made at later times or dates, except in DEMY Media’ sole discretion.

DEMY Media reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny any contestant the ability to participate in head-to-head contests for any reason whatsoever. Further, DEMY Media may, in its sole and absolute discretion, invalidate any head-to-head contest result for the purposes of preventing abusive and/or any unfair or potentially unlawful activity, or in the event that there is a risk of any such abusive, illegal, or unfair activity.

PRIZES

At the conclusion of each Contest, prizes will be immediately awarded except in circumstances where technical failure or other reasons prevent such timely payout. Prizes won are added to the winning participants account balance. In the event of a tie, prizes are divided evenly amongst the participants that have tied.

DEMY Media reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the contests (or any portion thereof) should virus, bugs, unauthorized human intervention, or other causes corrupt administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the contest (or any portion thereof) warrant doing so. Notification of such changes may be provided by DEMY Media to its customers but will not be required.

WITHDRAWAL AND PAYMENT OF PRIZES

Users may convert their points into prizes at anytime using the shopping cart system provided on the website. Users may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to a Driver’s License, Proof of Residence, and/or any information relating to the conversion of points to prizes. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such entrant did not comply with these BlabberPoints TOS in any manner.

We may also request that you provide your mailing address and SSN before the withdrawal is processed. This will help us in the event that your annual net winnings exceed $600 and we are required to file a 1099-MISC tax form.

All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Contests is challenged by any legal authority, DEMY Media reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.

No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted, except that DEMY Media reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or greater if the advertised prize is unavailable. All prizes are awarded “as is” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose).

ARBITRATION, CONSENT TO JURISDICTION IN CALIFORNIA, ATTORNEY’S FEES

Any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, or any use of the Website (including all commercial transactions conducted through the Website) (“Claims”), except for claims filed in a small claims court that proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis, shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then governing rules and procedures, including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, where applicable. In agreeing to arbitrate all Claims, you and DEMY Media waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving any Claim. The arbitration shall be held in California, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. This arbitration undertaking is made pursuant to and in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act at 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. Subject to the limitations set forth below, the arbitrator shall have authority to award legal and equitable relief available in the courts of California, provided that:

The arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive damages; and

Any and all claims shall be arbitrated on an individual basis only, and shall not be consolidated or joined with or in any arbitration or other proceeding involving a Claim of any other party. You and DEMY Media agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate any Claim as a class action or in any other form other than on an individual basis.

For any Claims that are not subject to arbitration: (a) the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings involving Claims shall be the courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within California (the “Forum”), and the parties hereby waive any argument that any such court does not have personal jurisdiction or that the Forum is not appropriate or convenient; (b) you and DEMY Media waive any and all rights to trial by jury with respect to any Claims.

In the event that either party initiates a proceeding involving any Claim other than an arbitration in accordance with this Section, or initiates a proceeding involving a Claim under this Section other than in the Forum, the other party shall recover all attorneys’ fees and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this Agreement to arbitrate and the Forum to which the parties have herein agreed.

MISCELLANEOUS

These BlabberPoints TOS shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of Maryland, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. Any claim or dispute between you and DEMY Media that arises in whole or in part from the BlabberPoints TOS, the Website or any Contest shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Maryland.

Nothing in the BlabberPoints TOS shall create or confer any rights or other benefits in favor of any third parties except as specifically provided herein. By participating in any Contest on the Website, you agree to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless XYG, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (the “XYG Entities”), from and against any and all third party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other legal expenses including, without limitation, those costs incurred at the trial and appellate levels and in any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar proceedings, and any other legal expenses (collectively, “Claims”) arising from or connected with your use of the Website, any payment methods used, any funding of your account, and/or your participation in any Contest.

If any provision of these BlabberPoints TOS is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these BlabberPoints TOS, which shall remain in full force and effect.

No waiver of any term of these BlabberPoints TOS shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and DEMY Media’ failure to assert any right or provision under these BlabberPoints TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

DEMY Media reserves the right to amend these BlabberPoints TOS at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review these BlabberPoints TOS for any changes. If you continue to use the Services after we change the BlabberPoints TOS, you accept all changes.
