SECTION 14 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE KOIN GAMES PRIVACY POLICY; REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND ARE FULLY ABLE AND COMPETENT TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT; AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS AND THE PRIVACY POLICY.

You must at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to register an Account; otherwise, you may not use the Services. You may create an Account using such other third-party accounts that we support, as selected by you on the account creation screen. You represent that the information in your Account, and any other information you otherwise provide to us, is accurate, current and complete information, and agree to update it and keep it accurate, current and complete. We reserve the right to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements to use the Services and to suspend or terminate your Account or your access to the Services, at our sole discretion, if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information you provided to us is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete.

7.Copyright Policy and Notices of Intellectual Property Violations
7.1Copyright Policy.Koin Games complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). We will remove infringing materials in accordance with the DMCA if properly notified that Content infringes copyright. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify the Koin Games Copyright Agent by email at legal@koingames.io or by mail to the address in the Contact section. Please do not send notices or inquiries about anything other than alleged copyright infringement or other intellectual property claims to our Agent for Notice. Your email must contain the following information:

- information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address;

- a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Services, sufficient for us to locate the material; your address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
If you fail to comply with these notice requirements, your notification may not be valid. Under the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.
In accordance with the DMCA, we have adopted a policy of, in appropriate circumstances, terminating User Accounts that are repeat infringers of the intellectual property rights of others. We may also terminate User Accounts even based on a single infringement.
7.2Counter-Notice.If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent: (1) Your physical or electronic signature; (2) Identification of the User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (3) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content; and (4) Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Tampa, Florida, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed User Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the User Content provider, member or user, the removed User Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

13.Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provision
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND KOIN GAMES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
THIS NOTICE DOES NOT APPLY: (1) IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF ANY JURISDICTION WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, (2) IF YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED IN THE 'ARBITRATION' SECTION BELOW, OR (3) TO CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED BELOW.
13.1Initial Dispute Resolution.For any problem or dispute that you may have with us, you understand and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. In order to initiate this dispute resolution process, you agree that you shall first send us a written description of your problem or dispute within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the problem or dispute by sending an email to: legal@koingames.io or by mail to the address listed below. You then agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute for sixty (60) days. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after our receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the arbitration provisions below.
13.2Binding Arbitration.If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including formation, performance and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases. The arbitrator's award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
13.3Location.Any arbitration shall take place in Tampa, Florida.
13.4Class Action Waiver.The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.
