This agreement contains important provisions including an arbitration provision that requires you and the providers to resolve all disputes by binding arbitration instead of in court unless you choose to opt out of such provision. Please see section 14 titled “dispute resolution by binding arbitration and class action waiver” below. Unless you opt out of the arbitration agreement, you waive your right to trial by jury, and except as permitted by section 14, you will not be able to bring any claims in state or federal court.

As explained in further detail in the sections below, authorization to electronically receive any and all communications (defined below) is a condition of access to and use of the services, meaning that if you revoke your consent to receive such communications electronically you understand that you may not continue to access or use the services.

1. THE SERVICES.

‍

Description of Services. P00LS offers the opportunity to support people or groups (each, a “Creator”) by interacting with content produced and distributed by Creators and potentially receiving digital currencies, non-fungible tokens, or other digital assets (each, a “Creator Token”) and interacting with Creators and other users.
Creator Tokens are not legal tender in any jurisdiction. Creator Tokens are not intended to be investment vehicles and should not be acquired with the expectation of any profit or increase in value. Creator Tokens are meant to encourage interaction and promote engagement between fans and Creators.
For details on how to access Creator Tokens that you earn through the Services, see Section 2c below.
We do not offer all the Services in all jurisdictions. Additional information regarding the Services may be available and obtained through the Site. The Services, and certain aspects of the Services, may, as applicable, be delayed, restricted, forfeited, or ultimately unavailable due to certain laws and regulations governing our Services as well as certain circumstances and conditions associated with your use of the Services.

Eligibility. In order to use the Services, you must be a resident of a jurisdiction we serve and be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the applicable age of majority and contractual capacity in the jurisdiction in which you reside) and have a valid Account (see Section 2 below).

A crypto wallet is an application or hardware device that allows individuals to store and retrieve digital items. Once you have connected your wallet, you may transfer Creator Tokens to your wallet.

P00LS, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your access to or use of the Services, for any reason, including, without limitation, if we receive a facially valid subpoena, court order or other binding order from a government authority requiring us to do so or if we believe you have violated this Agreement, in letter or in spirit. P00LS may also, in its sole discretion, discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice.

For sake of clarity, P00LS reserves the right to disable or terminate your access to or use of the Services if your account was identified as engaging in behavior such as dumping, hoarding, bot-creation, farming, or speculation that do not comply with our community values. Users of P00LS earn tokens for free to participate in creators’ ecosystems, and we will not tolerate any sign of dumping, hoarding, bot-creation, farming, or speculation.

All provisions of this Agreement which, according to their terms or their nature, should survive termination, including, without limitation, provisions with respect to limitation of liability and disclaimer of warranties, shall survive.

‍

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Any dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “claim”) relating in any way to your use of the company’s services and/or products, including the services, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the claim, except as permitted herein. You and the company agree that any claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by jams under its comprehensive arbitration rules and procedures and the jams consumer minimum standards (together, the “jams rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these terms). Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the jams rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. You have a right to have the arbitration conducted via telephone, or as an in-person hearing in your hometown area (if you live in the united states) or another location that is reasonably convenient to you.

WAIVER OF CLASS ARBITRATION OR ACTIONS. Any claims you or we assert under this agreement will be brought on an individual basis and not on a class, consolidated, representative or collective basis. Only individual relief is available for claims covered by this arbitration agreement, and you and we agree that class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted under any circumstances, including that any claims of more than one customer cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of another customer or person. You and we agree to give up the ability to participate in any form of class arbitration and/or action. Each party knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives any and all rights it may have to a trial by jury. Any dispute must be initiated within one year after the complaining party discovers the facts that form the basis for the controversy or claim, or it is forever waived.

ARBITRATION COSTS. Payment for any and all reasonable jams filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be in accordance with the jams rules. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, the company will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, except that if you have initiated the arbitration claim, you will still be required to pay the lesser of $250 or the maximum amount permitted under the jams rules for arbitration claims initiated by you. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.

EXCEPTIONS TO ARBITRATION. Notwithstanding anything in these terms to the contrary, you may instead assert your claim in “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains only in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis. Further, you and the company will have the right to bring an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for injunctive or other equitable or conservatory relief, or if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.

SEVERABILITY. You and we agree that if any portion of this section 14 is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of this section 14 shall be given full force and effect.

OPT-OUT. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this section 14 by sending a timely written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: P00LS inc., 990 Biscayne Blvd, suite #701, Miami, FL 33132 or by email to support@P00LS.io, within 30 days after executing this agreement (as evidenced by your creation of an account). Your notice must include your name and address and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this section 14 of the agreement. If you opt out of this section 14, all other parts of this agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this section 14 will not have any effect on other arbitration agreements that you may currently have with P00LS, or may enter into in the future with P00LS.

15. GENERAL TERMS.

‍

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and P00LS and governs your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and P00LS with respect to your use of the Site and Services.
Governing Law and Disputes. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent any claims may be made in court pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the arbitration agreement contained in Section 14 if you have not opted out of the same, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Delaware. To the extent the dispute resolution by binding arbitration section above is inapplicable to a claim or action, and without prejudice to such section, each of the parties hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation (including but not limited to any claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, or third party claims) arising out of, under or in connection with this agreement; each party hereto certifies that no representative or agent of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not in the event of such litigation, seek to enforce this waiver of right to jury trial provision; and each of the parties acknowledges that this section is a material inducement for the other party to enter into this agreement. You and P00LS agree that any lawsuit arising out of or related to this Agreement or your use of the Site or the Services, which is brought by you or any third party, must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arises; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
Waiver. P00LS’ failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by P00LS in writing.
Force Majeure. No party shall be liable for failure or delay in performing obligations (except for obligations regarding payment of money) set forth in this Agreement, and no party shall be deemed in breach of such obligations, if such failure or delay is due to natural disasters or any cause reasonably beyond the control of such party.
Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of you and P00LS, and, except as specifically provided herein, no third party (including creditors of any party) may seek to enforce, or benefit from, these provisions, or seek redress for any breach or other damage, alleged or proved, under this Agreement.
Headings. The section titles in this Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, either in whole or in part, is held to be illegal, invalid, void as against public policy, or unenforceable for any reason under present or future law, such provision shall be fully severable without effect on the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect and remain legal, valid, effective, and enforceable as if the illegal, invalid, void, or unenforceable provision(s) had never comprised a part of such provision or this Agreement, as applicable. In lieu of the illegal, invalid, void, or unenforceable provision, there shall be added a provision as similar in terms and legal effect to the illegal, invalid, void, or unenforceable provision as may be possible, and which may be legal, valid, effective and enforceable.
Modification of Terms. P00LS reserves the right to modify or discontinue all or any portion of the Services with or without notice to you. P00LS will not be liable to you if we modify or discontinue all or any portion of the Services. P00LS may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time in our sole discretion. Your continued use of the Site or the Services subsequent to such modification shall be deemed an acknowledgment and acceptance thereof.
Assignment. You may not assign any rights and/or licenses granted under this Agreement. We reserve the right to assign our rights without restriction, including without limitation to any affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. In the event that P00LS is acquired by or merged with a third-party entity, we reserve the right, in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have collected from you as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control.
