PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND GAME TACO's PRIVACY POLICY LOCATED AT https://staging.gametaco.com/#policy. BEFORE USING ANY GAME TACO WEBSITE, APPLICATION OR ANY OF THE GAME TACO COMMUNITY FEATURES. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THIS AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS ON HOW TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH GAME TACO.
These terms of service (the "Terms of Service" or "TOS") apply to your use of the online and mobile websites (each, a "Website") operated by Game Taco, LLC or one of its affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively "GAME TACO"), any interactive applications (each, an "App") operated by GAME TACO and the GAME TACO "Community Features" (as defined herein) (unless a different terms of use or terms and conditions is provided on a particular Website, Application or Community Feature, in which case such different policy shall control). The Website, the Apps and the Community Features are collectively referred to as the "Services." Your use of the Services constitutes your unconditional agreement to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, you may not access or otherwise use the Services. You can visit many parts of the Services without becoming a registered "User" (as defined below), but to participate in Community Features and certain other activities you will need to become a registered User and create an account (each, an "Account"). These TOS govern everyone who uses the Services (each, "you" or a "User"), whether they are registered or not. Interactive games that are made available on the Services or are accessible from the Services are operated by Game Taco, LLC or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively "GAME TACO").
These TOS, the GAME TACO Privacy Policy, and any other terms and conditions incorporated herein (collectively, the "Other Policies"), constitute the entire agreement between you and GAME TACO pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or other arrangements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. No waiver of any of the provisions of these TOS shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
The Services are intended solely for users who are eighteen (18) years of age and older. The Services are not available to residents of Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. We also currently do not provide our services to people outside of the United States. You acknowledge that various rules, regulations and laws addressing sweepstakes, contests, and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes govern your participation in Tournaments ("Gaming Laws"), and that Gaming Laws are set up by each individual US state, country, territory, or jurisdiction. Therefore, we DO NOT offer Cash Tournaments (as defined below) to users participating in Tournaments in any state in which such competition violates its Gaming Laws ("Prohibited Jurisdiction"), and if you are located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction then you may not participate in Cash Tournaments. In the United States, Prohibited Jurisdictions, as of the "Updated" date above, include: Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. It is your responsibility to determine whether the state, country, territory or jurisdiction in which you are located is a Prohibited Jurisdiction. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor the location from which you access Services, and we may block access from any Prohibited Jurisdiction. Each time you log in to participate in a Cash Tournament, you must accurately confirm the location from which you are playing.
In addition to Gaming Laws, you are also subject to all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations of the city, state and country in which you reside and from which you access and use Services, including without limitation U.S. export laws (together with Gaming Laws, the "Applicable Laws"). You are solely responsible for your compliance with all Applicable Laws. Access to Tournaments may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain jurisdictions. SERVICES AND TOURNAMENTS ARE VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS. Your participation in Tournaments is at your own risk, and you agree not to hold us responsible or liable if Applicable Laws restrict or prohibit your access or participation.
We may amend, change, modify or revise the Terms at any time, and we may post a notice on our website at [www.baysidegames.com] ("Website") of any material changes, and you can see when these Terms were last revised by referring to the "Updated" legend above. Your continued participation in Tournaments and/or use of Software or Services means you accept any new or modified Terms. You are responsible for reviewing the Terms for any changes, so please check back here from time to time.
You may not modify these Terms. To be eligible to register an Account, to participate in any Tournament or receive certain Services, and/or to download certain Software, you must: (a) be a natural person of the United States who is at least 18 years of age or older, and who is personally assigned to the email address submitted during your Account registration; (b) have the power to enter into a contract with Game Taco; (c) be physically located within the U.S. when accessing your Account and participating in Tournaments; (d) be physically located within a U.S. state in which participation in the Tournament you select is unrestricted by that state's laws; and (e) at all times abide by these Terms. If any one of these requirements is not met at any time, we may suspend or close your Account with or without notice.

You may not allow any other person to (i) access your Account; (ii) access Services or Software through your Account; or (iii) accept or use prizes, winnings and other representative of value (including without limitation digital trophies, virtual currency or virtual goods) (collectively "Winnings"). Neither your Account nor Winnings nor any Digital Assets are transferable to any other person or account. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or identification or any other breach or threatened breach of our security or the security of your Account.
You represent and warrant to us that (1) you have the right, authority, and capacity to agree to these Terms, to register for an Account, and to participate in those Tournaments for which you register; and (2) you will comply with these Terms when participating in Tournaments, receiving Services, Apps, and/or using Software; and (3) all information you supply to us is complete, accurate and current (and knowingly submitting incomplete or inaccurate information, or failing to update and maintain current, complete and accurate information, may result, without limitation, in immediate termination of your Account and forfeiture of Winnings).
GAME TACO reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, update, add to, discontinue, remove or otherwise change any portion of the Services, these TOS, or the Other Policies, in whole or in part, at any time. When GAME TACO amends these TOS, it will revise the "last updated" date located at the top of these TOS for an amount of time that we determine in our discretion. For material changes to these TOS, GAME TACO may notify you by displaying a notice when you first use the Services after such changes have been made. We may also, at our discretion, provide notification of changes by other means. If you use the Services in any way after these TOS or Other Policies have been changed, you will be deemed to have unconditionally consented and agreed to such changes. The most current version of these TOS will be available on the Website and will supersede all previous versions of these TOS.
As set forth more fully in the Privacy Policy, you will be deemed to have consented to the transfer and/or disclosure to a subsequent owner of the Services of any personal information submitted by you and contained in GAME TACO's database if GAME TACO assigns your personal information to a third party as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of the Services, in whole or in part, of all or substantially all of GAME TACO's assets.
The Services may contain links to third party websites or resources, which may or may not be obvious ("Third Party Sites") as well as software, text, graphics, articles, photographs, pictures, designs, sound, video, music, information, software applications and other content originating from third parties (collectively, "Third Party Applications, Software or Content"). Our provision of links to Third Party Sites is not an endorsement of any information, product or service that is offered on or reached through such Third Party Site or Third Party Application, Software or Content. Such Third Party Sites and Third Party Applications, Software or Content are not monitored or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for the content or performance of any Third Party Sites accessed through the Services or any Third Party Applications, Software or Content posted on, available through or installed from the Services, including the content, accuracy, offensiveness, opinions, reliability, privacy practices or other policies of or contained in the Third Party Sites or the Third Party Applications, Software or Content. If you decide to leave the Services and access the Third Party Sites or to use or install any Third Party Applications, Software or Content, you do so at your own risk and you should be aware that our terms and policies no longer govern.
You may not reproduce, copy, resell, manipulate, or exploit any part of the Services or the "Services Materials" (as defined below), for any commercial purpose.
GAME TACO may, in its sole discretion and at any time, with or without notice, terminate your password, Account or use of any Community Feature, and discard and remove any "Community Content" (as defined below) posted or submitted by you to any Community Feature, for any reason or no reason.

You understand and agree that GAME TACO shall not have any liability to you or any other person for any suspension or termination of your access to any Community Feature and/or the removal of information concerning your Account.
In accessing or participating in Services or using the Software, you represent and warrant to us that you will not engage in any activity that interrupts or attempts to interrupt the operation of the Services or Software. Anyone who engages in, participates in, or displays behavior that may be interpreted, in our sole discretion, as unfair methods in participating in Services or using the Software, including but not limited to, the opening and/or use of multiple accounts, the use of unauthorized or altered software or hardware to assist play (e.g., bots, bot nets, and collusion with bots), intentionally poor play in certain games to achieve competitive advantage, collusion with other players (e.g. intentionally losing rematches in Cash Competitions), deliberate transfer of money between accounts (e.g., "money laundering"), harassment of other participants, posting objectionable material, breach of these Terms, breach of security of your Account or, or any other act (whether through the use of automated technology or otherwise) that unfairly alters your chance of winning or constitutes the commission of fraud (collectively, "Abuse"), you will be subject to immediate sanction (as determined by us in our sole discretion), which may include, without limitation: (1) immediate termination of your Account and blocking of your access to the Website and Services; (2) any Winnings that you may otherwise have been entitled to receive shall be void and forfeited; and (3) any Winnings received by you shall be subject to disgorgement and/or recoupment. In addition to the foregoing, we reserve the right to disclose or report any money laundering similar illegal activity to law enforcement and regulatory authorities. Without limiting our other available remedies, we may institute or seek any injunctive relief, civil and/or criminal proceedings against you and/or any of your co-conspirators arising out of or related to your commission of Abuse, including without limitation recovering all of our fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such efforts
Any attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or any other user's account, interfere with procedures or performance of Services, Apps, Software or the Website, or deliberately damage or undermine the Services, Apps, or Software is subject to civil and/or criminal prosecution and will result in immediate termination of your Account and forfeiture of your Winnings. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any damage, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access or use of Services or your Account.
These TOS shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any other State's laws.
By using the Services in any way, you unconditionally consent and agree that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) you may have against GAME TACO or the officers, directors and employees of GAME TACO and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates (all such individuals and entities collectively referred to herein as the "Company Entities") arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Services or the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS and conducted before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; (2) this arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16; (3) the arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, California; (4) the arbitrator's decision shall be controlled by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service and any of the other agreements referenced herein that the applicable user may have entered into in connection with the Services; (5) the arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (6) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, arbitration can decide only your and/or the applicable Company Entity's individual claims; the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (7) the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against you or any Company Entity; (8) in the event that the administrative fees and deposits that must be paid to initiate arbitration against any Company Entity exceed $125 USD, and you are unable (or not required under the rules of JAMS) to pay any fees and deposits that exceed this amount, GAME TACO agrees to pay them and/or forward them on your behalf, subject to ultimate allocation by the arbitrator. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Company will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor GAME TACO shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information on JAMS and/or the rules of JAMS, visit their website at www.jamsadr.com.
The Services are controlled and operated by GAME TACO from its offices within the State of California, United States of America ("U.S.A."). GAME TACO makes no representation that the Services and/or the Services Content, including merchandise offered for sale on the Services, and their copyrights, trademarks, patents, and licensing arrangements, are appropriate or available for use in locations other than the U.S.A. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside of the U.S.A. do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws. Use of the Services, the GAME TACO Game Sites, Apps, and the Websites is void where prohibited by applicable law, and void in the Prohibited Jurisdictions of the United States as of the “Updated” date as defined above. With respect to shipments of merchandise to consumers, wherever they may reside, title to the merchandise and risk of loss shall pass to the buyer upon delivery of the merchandise to the common carrier.
As stated above, you acknowledge that various rules, regulations and laws addressing sweepstakes, contests, and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes govern your participation in Tournaments ("Gaming Laws"), and that Gaming Laws are set up by each individual US state, country, territory, or jurisdiction. We DO NOT offer Cash Tournaments to users participating in Tournaments in any state in which such Competition violates its Gaming Laws ("Prohibited Jurisdiction"), and if you are located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction then you may not participate in Cash Tournaments. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor the location from which you access Services, and we may block access from any Prohibited Jurisdiction. Each time you log in to participate in a Cash Competition, you must accurately confirm the location from which you are playing.
WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE LAWFULNESS OF YOUR PARTICIPATING IN ANY TOURNAMENT OR USE OF SERVICES, NOR SHALL ANY PERSON AFFILIATED, OR CLAIMING AFFILIATION, WITH US HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES.
Fees and payments for Services that you pay to us ("Fees") and our billing procedures are detailed in our billing application. If there are Fees charged to your Account, you agree to pay those Fees. All Fees are stated in U.S. Dollars, must be prepaid, and are non-refundable. You are fully responsible and liable for all charges, deposits and withdrawals made under your Account, including any unauthorized charges, deposits or withdrawals. We may change the price of Services at any time, but no price change will affect your past purchases.
We may change Fees and billing procedures by updating our billing application with or without notice to you. By providing us with a payment method, you (i) represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; (ii) authorize us to charge you for the Services using your payment method; and (iii) authorize us to charge you for any paid feature of the Services that you choose to sign up for. We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; or (c) shortly after purchase, in our sole discretion. If we make an error on your bill, you must tell us within 120 days after the error first appears on your bill. We will then promptly investigate the charge. If you don't tell us within that time, we'll not be liable for any losses resulting from the error and we won't be required to correct the error or provide a refund. If we identify a billing error, we will correct that error within 90 days. You must pay for all reasonable costs we incur to collect any past due amounts, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal fees and costs.
If you play games integrated in a Tournament without depositing U.S. Dollars into your Account for that Tournament, then you are a "Non-Cash Player" with respect to such Tournament. However, if you play in a Tournament that requires an entry paid in U.S. Dollars ("Cash Tournament"), then you are a "Cash Player", and if you establish a positive Account balance for entry fees for Cash Tournaments, then you must submit and maintain at all times the following current and correct information: your full name, your permanent residential address, your phone number, and your credit card or other payment information. Participating in Cash Tournaments may, in our sole discretion, require establishing a positive Account balance in any amount we determine. If you are a Cash Player, by submitting this information, you consent to allowing us to share your personal and payment information in confidence with third party service providers for the purposes of validating your identity and assessing the transaction risk associated with accepting your selected method of payment, and for any other purpose as detailed in our Privacy Policy. If you make a credit card deposit, we will submit an authorization request to the issuing bank of at least Ten U.S. Dollars (US$10.00) to your credit limit, even if the actual amount charged may be lower. When you withdraw funds from your account, you may be required to submit your social security number or other identifying information. Failure to provide your social security number at that time may result in our inability to process your withdrawal for any winnings.
If you are a Cash Player then we may, from time to time in our sole discretion, grant you bonus funds and/or credits ("Bonus Funds"). Bonus Funds can be used to enter Cash Competitions, but cannot be withdrawn or used for any other Service. All Cash Tournament entry fees will be deducted from your Account balance before being deducted from Bonus Funds. If you initiate a withdrawal of funds from your Account, you may forfeit all Bonus Funds currently in your Account.
Digital Assets and Bonus Funds cannot be withdrawn. Processing of requested funds is made by check or by refund to the payment method used to make your deposit and may take up to ninety (90) days; provided, however, that we may freeze your Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected Abuse, verification of eligibility, or to comply with Applicable Laws. We may assess a check request processing fee of up to $2.00 for any withdrawal of less than $10.00.
If you close your Account, we will return the funds in your Account subject to the TOS. If we unilaterally close or terminate your Account for cause as allowed in these Terms, funds in your Account may be forfeited and not returned to you. If your funds are forfeited by you in accordance with this TOS hereof, we may use these funds to defray the costs of administration and enforcement of these Terms, allocate or disburse such amounts to other Services, or donate these funds.
If your Account is inactive (i.e. you have not entered at least one (1) tournament) for six (6) consecutive months or more, we reserve the right to charge a maintenance fee of $2.00 per month (the “Monthly Maintenance Fee”). After five or more months of inactivity we will notify you by email that if your Account remains inactive for one more month, the Monthly Maintenance Fee will be deducted from your Account each consecutive month after that that it remains inactive. The Monthly Maintenance Fee will not be deducted from your Account if there are no funds in your Account. However, if your Account has no funds and has been inactive for twelve or more consecutive months we reserve the right to close your Account.
Unless otherwise required by law, no refunds are given.
If you are eligible to receive Winnings or Prizes, we may require that you provide us with proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation in the subject Competition, eligible to participate in accordance with these Terms and that your participation was in accordance with these Terms. If you do not provide us with such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, then you will not receive the relevant Winnings. If you receive a payment in error, we may reverse or require return of the payment. You agree to cooperate with us in our efforts to do this. We may also reduce payment to you without notice to adjust for any previous overpayment.
When you pay for any charges by credit card, you represent to us that you are the authorized user of such credit card. You must promptly notify us of any changes to your credit card account number, its expiration date and/or your billing address, or if your credit card expires or is canceled for any reason. We are not liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment by a third party (such as Skrill) in connection with the Services. Any attempt to defraud through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment, regardless of the outcome, or any failure by you to honor legitimate charges or requests for payment, will result in immediate termination of your Account, forfeiture of Winnings, and pursuit of civil litigation and/or criminal prosecution.
If you are a U.S. resident, we may send you an IRS Form W-9 and 1099-MISC or other appropriate form if your Winnings total $600 or more in any given calendar year. Depending on the state in which you reside, we may also send you additional federal or state tax forms. Without limiting the foregoing, we may withhold from your existing Account balance and/or from future Winnings any amount required to be withheld by Applicable Laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation, but you remain solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes in accordance with all Applicable Laws.

"Community Content" consists of User-generated content, information, and materials of any kind or nature that is included or posted by Users in the Community Features sections of the Website or an Application (collectively, "Community Content"). The Services and all of the content the Services contain, or may in the future contain, including but not limited to all copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names and patents (collectively, the "Services Content") is proprietary to GAME TACO and its affiliates. The Services Content and the programming codes associate therewith ("Services Code") as they exist on the Services are offered to you by GAME TACO for limited and restricted use pursuant to these TOS. Services Content and Services Code are collectively referred to herein as the "Services Materials". Any use of the Services Materials other than as permitted by these TOS will constitute a violation of these TOS and may constitute copyright and/or patent infringement.
The Services Materials are owned by GAME TACO and/or its licensors and content providers, and are protected by copyright, trademark, publicity and other laws and by international treaties. Unless expressly permitted in writing by GAME TACO, you shall not capture, reproduce, perform, transfer, sell, license, modify, create derivative works from or based upon, republish, reverse engineer, upload, edit, post, transmit, publicly display, frame, link, distribute, or exploit in whole or in part any Services Materials. You agree not to use the Services Materials for any unlawful purposes.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, use of the Services Materials on any third party website or other networked computer environment is prohibited without prior written permission from GAME TACO.
From time to time, and at its sole discretion, GAME TACO may make available to Users certain software that may be accessible or downloaded from the Services. In the event that you access or download software from the Services, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the "Software") are licensed to you by GAME TACO or a GAME TACO-approved third party software provider ("Third Party Provider"). GAME TACO does not transfer title to the Software to you. You own the medium on which the Software is recorded, but GAME TACO retains full and complete title to its Software, and all intellectual property rights therein. For purposes of these TOS, such Software shall be deemed included in the definition of "Services Materials". Furthermore, your use of any Software of a Third Party Provider shall be subject to the end user license agreement or any other terms of use set forth by such Third Party Provider for its Software.
If you wish to participate in Tournaments or receive Services, you may be required to first download certain proprietary Game Taco software and/or Apps (together with the content included therein, any associated documentation, and any application program interfaces, license keys, and patches, updates, upgrades, improvements, enhancements, fixes and revised versions of any of the foregoing, is collectively "Software"). If you do not download the Software, you will not be able to participate in Tournaments or receive relevant Services. Sometimes you will download the Software directly from us, and sometimes you will download Software from a third party, such as a game developer, but in either case your use of the Software is subject to these Terms.
We may choose to offer technical support for Software from time to time in our discretion. Such technical support may require that we remotely access your personal computer or device on which the Software is installed ("Device"). Also, if and when we update the Software or deploy patches, updates, and modifications to the Software, we may do so through remote access of your Device without your knowledge. You hereby consent to these activities. You acknowledge that if we cannot remotely access your Device, then the Software may no longer work, and this may prevent you from participating in Tournaments or otherwise receiving Services. Our access to your Device will be limited only for purposes of providing support or updating the Software, and is governed by the terms of our Privacy Policy.
GAME TACO is pleased to hear from its Users and welcomes your comments regarding GAME TACO's Services and products. Nevertheless, GAME TACO's company policy does not allow it to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those it has specifically requested (see below). While we value your feedback of our Services and products, we request that you be specific in your comments of those Services and products, and that you not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by GAME TACO's or its affiliates' professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we ask that you do not send us any original creative materials such as game concepts/treatments, stories or character ideas, screenplays, or original artwork.
If you send or post certain specific submissions at our request (e.g., via message boards or in connection with contests) or if you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or any other information (each, a "Submission" and collectively, the "Submissions") despite our request that you not send us any unsolicited Submissions or other creative materials, the Submission will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary in each instance. For purposes of this Paragraph 2.3, all Community Content shall be deemed included in the definition of Submissions. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on the part of GAME TACO, and GAME TACO shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Any Submission may be used by GAME TACO without restriction for any purpose whatsoever, including, without limitation, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast or posting, and you hereby irrevocably waive, release and give up any claim that any use of such Submission violates any of your rights, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, moral rights, privacy rights, proprietary or other property rights, publicity rights, or right to credit for the material or ideas. GAME TACO shall have and is irrevocably granted the right, but not the obligation, to reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, broadcast, license, perform, post, sell, translate, incorporate, create derivative works from, distribute and otherwise use the Submission in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, throughout the universe, in perpetuity, without according you any compensation or credit. By submitting a Submission to the Services or GAME TACO, you represent that such Submission is original with you and does not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights and rights of publicity and/or privacy. All Submissions to the Services and/or GAME TACO shall be the sole property of GAME TACO and will not be acknowledged or returned. You agree and understand that GAME TACO is not obligated to use any Submission you make to the Services or GAME TACO and you have no right to compel such use. You hereby acknowledge and agree that your relationship with GAME TACO is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and that your decision to submit any material to GAME TACO does not place GAME TACO in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Submission. You understand and acknowledge that GAME TACO has wide access to ideas, stories, designs, and other literary materials, and that new ideas are constantly being submitted to it or being developed by GAME TACO's own employees. Many ideas or stories may be competitive with, similar or identical to your Submission in theme, idea, plot, format or other respects. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to any compensation as a result of GAME TACO's use of any such similar or identical material. Finally, you acknowledge that, with respect to any claim you may have relating to or arising out of a GAME TACO's actual or alleged exploitation or use of any material you submit to the Services and/or GAME TACO, the damage, if any, thereby caused will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle you to injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin the production, distribution, exhibition or other exploitation of any production based on or allegedly based on the material, and your rights and remedies in any such event shall be strictly limited to the right to recover damages, if any, in an action at law. Applicable law may restrict or limit the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. If so, without limitation of the foregoing, you agree that in no event shall GAME TACO's liability exceed $5,000.

The alleged infringer has the right to file a counter-notification by providing the designated agent with the following information: (1) a physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the material that has been removed the location at which the material appeared before it was removed; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury that he/she has a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed; and (4) his/her name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that he/she consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if his/her address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that he/she will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

For all other purposes of these TOS, Alterations shall be considered Community Content.

The Services are vigorously against the practice commonly referred to as "Spamming." Any User who is reported to be generating Spam, and whose "Spamming" is validated by the Services, will have their respective Accounts either immediately TERMINATED or SUSPENDED, at the sole discretion of GAME TACO. Additionally, any prizes (if any) may be voided at the sole discretion of GAME TACO. GAME TACO defines "Spam" as it is commonly understood, and includes the following:
Electronic mail messages and commercial electronic messages addressed to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient;
Messages posted to message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, or posted in excessive volume; or
Solicitations posted to chat rooms or sent to groups or individuals via Internet Relay Chat or "Instant Messaging" system (such as ICQ).
GAME TACO may undertake, at its sole discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement actions described in detail below:
Account Suspension: Upon the receipt of a credible and validated complaint, GAME TACO may elect to immediately suspend the membership of the User implicated in the abuse. Suspension serves as a "final" warning and will prevent the abuser from continuing his/her abusive "Spamming" behavior. GAME TACO will evaluate each validated abuse incident on a case-by-case basis and impose termination or suspension at its sole discretion, and may void any associated prizes. GAME TACO reserves the right to lift the suspension of a User at any time, at its sole discretion.
Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible and validated complaint, GAME TACO may immediately terminate the membership of the individual User implicated in the abuse and may void any associated winnings.
However, GAME TACO makes no representation or warranty about any third party's compliance or non-compliance with United States' Anti-Spam Law.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
