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 17 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 17, 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.
You agree that we will not be held responsible or liable to you or any other person for such action except as required by law.

Notices of copyright infringement claims should be sent by mail to: P00ls Inc, 990 Biscayne Boulevard, Suite 701, Miami FL 33132; or by e-mail to support@p00ls.io. It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights or intellectual property rights of others.

When we receive a counter-notification, we may reinstate the posts or material in question, in our sole discretion. To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail or by email) that sets forth all of the items required by sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. Please note that you will be liable for damages if you materially misrepresent that content, or an activity is not infringing the copyrights of others.
Any websites that are accessible via links embedded in the Site that take you away from the Site or browser extensions that may be used while on the site are not within P00ls’ control and we are not responsible for the content, products, services, or terms of any linked website. All such websites are subject to the terms, conditions, policies, and procedures of the owner of such website and not this Agreement. Accordingly, P00ls hereby expressly disclaims and shall not have any liability or responsibility for the content, the materials, the accuracy of the information, and/or the quality of the products or services provided by, available through, or advertised on any such websites accessible through links on the Site. We encourage you to read the applicable terms and conditions to understand your rights and obligations.
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.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold the providers, their affiliates, and their parents, subsidiaries, officers, employees, agents, directors, managers, equity owners, successors and assigns, as applicable, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, due to or arising out of your use of the services, the violation of this agreement by you, the infringement by you (or anyone accessing the site using your account) of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity or violation of any applicable law or regulation.
In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, P00ls shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, use, data or other intangibles, even if P00ls has been advised of the possibility of such damages, including damages resulting from (I) the use or the inability to use the services; (II) the cost of procurement of substitute services; or (III) unauthorized access to your account or alteration of your account or data. You specifically agree that p00ls is not responsible or liable to you or anyone else for any loss of, on, or through the site or the services, or for any infringement or violation of your rights by any other party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights, rights of publicity, or rights of privacy. P00ls is not liable for any changes in value in digital currency or fiat currency. The provider’s total liability to you for breach of contract and for any and all other claims (including tort claims) arising out of or in connection with this agreement, the site or the services, shall not exceed the total amount of all payments made by you to the provider hereunder. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, therefore some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
You expressly agree that your use of the site and services are at your sole risk and expense and subject to this agreement, any applicable law, and any additional terms and conditions imposed by any issuer of digital currency or other third party. The site and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the provider expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement or any other implied warranty under the uniform computer information transactions act as enacted by any state. The provider makes no warranty that the site or services will meet your requirements, or that the site or services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free. The provider makes no warranty regarding any transactions entered into through the site. No information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from p00ls shall create any warranty not expressly made herein.
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 17 is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of this section 17 shall be given full force and effect.
OPT-OUT.
You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this section 17 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 17 of the agreement. If you opt out of this section 17, all other parts of this agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this section 17 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.
