1. THE SERVICES

1.1 Generally

Through the Services, Zelos empowers Users to create and discover opportunities to enter athletic and/or competitive tournaments or leagues (collectively, “Contests”). By creating or joining Contests, Users can engage with individuals in their communities to compete in league play, participate in tournaments, and/or potentially earn financial payouts in connection with Contest successes. The Services manage relevant aspects of competitive sport administration, including facilitating Users’ connections with similarly skilled players, enabling the Creator (as defined below) of a Contest to establish any pay-in amount or entry fee to be processed by Zelos (e.g., for a competitive tournament), tracking Contest results and any corresponding Users’ winnings (if applicable), and managing payouts of any such winnings (in accordance with Section 4). The Services also allow Users to participate in the ranking and rating systems that govern their respective arenas.

1.2 Creating a Contest; Joining a Contest

As a User, you may have the opportunity to create a Contest (such user, a “Creator”). You must designate the league or tournament name, sport, location, per-User buy-in amount and the payout structure, if any, the maximum player limit, start date, and any other information prompted by the Contest creation form. By acting as a Creator, you agree and understand that you are designating Zelos to manage and process payments for your Contest for you and all other Users that participate in the Contest. You further agree and understand that acting as Creator is voluntary, and you will not receive and are not entitled to receive any compensation, whether from Zelos or otherwise, in connection with acting as a Creator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zelos has no responsibility for judging or determining any league or tournament outcomes or payout amounts. To join a Contest as a participant, navigate to the “Explore” tab on the App to find a league or tournaments near you. Each Contest must have a minimum of two participants. A Creator can edit or delete a Contest he or she has created at any point up until a second User joins or until the start date passes, whichever occurs first, and can obtain a full refund of any buy-in amount if the Contest does not take place because the required minimum number of participants is not met. The maximum number of participants is designated by the Creator, but if fewer than the maximum amount of participants join a given Contest, the Contest will proceed with the number of Users registered as of the start date.

1.3 Scoring; Disputes; Rankings

Each Contest will be scored in accordance with generally accepted scoring procedures applicable to such Contest. For any group (i.e., team) sport, the designated team captain for one team must report the score or other outcome for each game or competition through the Services. For non-group (i.e., individual) games or competitions, any User who participates in the game or competition may submit through the Services the score of a match or game in which such User participated personally (the reporting User, whether in an individual or group competition, the “Score Reporter”). Once the Score Reporter submits the score, the opposing team captain or individual User, as applicable will receive an in-App notification and prompt to review and confirm the score. If the other competitor(s) fail to respond within the timeframe requested, the score is automatically deemed final. If any opponent disagrees with the score submitted by the Score Reporter, then such competitor can submit a revision, which triggers an additional review cycle by the Score Reporter. Zelos strongly encourages Users to engage in collegial, respectful, and honorable competition and avoid disputes to the extent possible, and, if disputes arise, to resolve them amicably. If the Score Reporter and any other competitors are unable to agree on the final score, Zelos is not obligated to intervene to facilitate a resolution, but nevertheless reserves the right to do so. If the players are unable to reach a consensus, or if a User alleges any fraud to Zelos in connection with a Contest, Zelos, in its sole discretion, may unilaterally cancel the Contest, limit or prohibit Users from future participation in Contests or otherwise accessing the Services, and settle any payouts with participants in a manner deemed appropriate by Zelos in its sole discretion. Each User may be assigned a ranking on the Services. A User’s ranking demonstrates a User’s performance compared to other Users of the Services. A variety of factors may inform your individual ranking, such as your arena sport of choice, the number of Contests you have participated in, and your performance as compared to other Users in each of those Contests.

1.4 Community Guidelines; Fraud Reporting; Ratings

Zelos strives to bring athletes together to build a collegial, respectful, and honorable community. All Users agree to the terms of, and to be bound by, the Zelos Arenas Community Guidelines located at https://www.zelosarenas.com/community-guidelines, which are hereby incorporated by this reference. Zelos may remove any User from a Contest or prohibit a User from accessing the Services temporarily or permanently if we become aware that the User may violate, or has violated, the Community Guidelines. Users with concerns about criminal or illegal activity should always report it to local authorities. Users may have the ability to rate each other on sportsmanship and other similar qualities. In addition to rating general sportsmanship, Users may be able to report suspected cheating and/or fraudulent activity in connection with other Users’ use of the Services (each report, a “Fraud Report”). The Services may limit the number of times per month you can submit a Fraud Report and each Fraud Report must contain a description of the alleged cheating or fraud and must provide any information required by Zelos at the time of submission or after submission. If a User submits a Fraud Report, Zelos reserves the right to investigate and/or seek to validate the report, and further reserves the right to automatically disqualify any or all players from continuing or finalizing the applicable Contest. If another User submits a Fraud Report against you, Zelos may freeze or permanently delete your Account in its sole discretion. Additional information regarding how Zelos handles fraud reporting, as well as disputes (as described in Section 1.3, above), may be made available by Zelos through the Services from time to time, such as in the form of Frequently Asked Questions.

Using our Services involves meeting real people and engaging in Contests in the real world, which can sometimes lead to unexpected situations. Zelos can’t control what happens outside of the Services, including off-App, and Zelos is not responsible for what happens in connection with your access to the Services or your participation in a Contest. You should use common sense and good judgment when interacting with others.

ZELOS’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ANY AND ALL USERS OF THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO FACILITATING CONNECTIONS BETWEEN USERS, PROVIDING THE TECHNICAL PLATFORM FOR USERS TO MANAGE THE COMPETITION ASPECTS OF THEIR OWN TOURNAMENTS, AND MANAGING AND FACILITATING PAYMENTS OF BUY-IN AMOUNTS AND PAY-OUTS. ZELOS DOES NOT CREATE, MONITOR, OR ADMINISTER TOURNAMENTS.

Zelos reserves the rights to establish eligibility criteria to use the Services, and in some cases, at our sole discretion, impose limitations or restrictions on certain Accounts including, but not limited to, deletion of Accounts. If you are or become subject to the rules and regulations of an athletic or competitive association, group, authority or organization, you represent and warrant that you have reviewed the rules and regulations of such organization to confirm that your participation in a Contest and your use of the Services does not or will not constitute a violation of the rules or regulations governing such association, group, authority or organization.

3.3 Social Networking Site

You may have the opportunity to access the Services through a social network service (“SNS”) as part of the functionality of the Services. If you connect via a SNS, you may link your Account with a SNS, by allowing Zelos to access your SNS, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each SNS. You represent that you are entitled to grant Zelos access to your SNS account (including, for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable SNS. By granting Zelos access to any SNS accounts, you understand that Zelos may access, make available and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through the Services that you have provided to and stored in your SNS account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Services. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, all SNS Content will be considered to be User Content (as defined below). Depending on the SNS account you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such SNS account, personally identifiable information that you post to your SNS account may be available on and through the Services. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY SNS ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND ZELOS DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED TO IT BY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IN VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY SETTINGS THAT YOU HAVE SET IN SUCH THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS. Zelos is not responsible for any SNS Content, including but not limited to, accuracy or legality of, or infringement by, the SNS Content.

3.4 Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account login information and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree to immediately notify Zelos of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security. You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or false information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. Zelos cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

4. FEES & PAYMENTS

4.1 Additional Account Onboarding Information

Zelos reserves the right, but has no obligation, to request additional information from Users to verify your identity in order to comply with laws and regulations governing payments, safeguard the integrity of the Services, and reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and the violation of trade sanctions. Information that Zelos may request, or seek to confirm, may include your full legal name, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, taxpayer identification number (e.g. Social Security Number), and a form of government-issued identification.

4.2 Buy-Ins and Payouts

The Creator sets the buy-in amount and payouts for each Contest, subject to any minimum or maximum amounts set by Zelos in its sole discretion. The total payout amount for each Contest will be equal to the aggregate total of any and all buy-in amounts received by Zelos for the Contest. Zelos Fees and any other costs must be paid by Users at the time of and along with the payment of the buy-in amount when registering for a Contest. However, Zelos Fees and any other costs paid when registering are separate and distinct from the buy-in and are not eligible to be included as payouts. Any buy-in amounts paid to Zelos that are not paid out as Contest winnings (other than the Zelos Fees) for any reason shall be considered Zelos Fees and belong to Zelos. While Creators are able to use the Services to set the terms of each Contest, Zelos retains sole responsibility for receiving buy-in amounts and facilitating payouts, subject to the information about the Contest results provided through the Services by the Creator and/or Users. For avoidance of doubt, Zelos does not hold funds on behalf of Creators or Users; rather, Zelos provides the service of facilitating buy-ins and payouts of Contest winnings through the Services.

4.3 Payments; Payment Information

In order to participate in a Contest that involves any buy-in or payouts (including, for avoidance of doubt, participating as a Creator), you must provide payment information to Zelos through the Services. All buy-ins and payouts must be made through the Services. Zelos will use its Payment Processor (defined below) to charge the authorized payment method User specifies at the time the User signs up for the Contest or as otherwise specified by User in User’s Account. Users may make payments via payment methods made available by Zelos and Payment Processor in their respective sole discretion, such as ACH, debit card, or credit card. In order to receive payouts, each participating User must create an account with the Payment Processor through the Services and meet any applicable criteria established by the Payment Processor in accordance with its terms (referenced below), and must provide Payment Processor with an eligible payout account (generally, a bank account) that can accept payments from the Payment Processor. You agree to provide accurate and complete information in order for Zelos and/or Payment Processor to receive, process, and disburse payments through the Services. You agree and understand that you cannot receive payouts unless and until you have completed the Payment Processor’s onboarding process, established an account with Payment Processor through the Services, and provided the required information for payouts. Zelos is not responsible for a User’s failure to create an account or otherwise receive payouts through the Payment Processor.

Zelos will generally facilitate the disbursement through the Payment Processor of Contest winnings (i.e., payouts) to eligible prize winners for a particular Contest within two (2) business days of the end of the Contest, provided that the applicable User or Users have completed the Payment Processor’s onboarding process through the Services, and as otherwise subject to these Terms. Through the Services, Users can access their accounts with the Payment Processor to manage payouts (including eligible payout accounts), view winnings, obtain any applicable tax documents, and obtain additional information. If payment is made to a User in error, or if a User receives funds to which the User is not otherwise entitled to receive at the time of disbursement, Zelos or the Payment Processor has the right to recoup such amounts from the User, including without limitation by initiating a debit or charge to any account provided by the User in connection with the Services.

In some cases, settlement of funds could be temporarily delayed by an issue at Zelos, the Payment Processor, or the User’s designated financial institution. Zelos is not obligated to reimburse any expenses due to delayed settlements. In addition, the User’s designated financial institution’s settlement and account crediting procedures may at times cause delays in the crediting of funds to the User’s linked bank account (if applicable) or other payment account, and Zelos does not have control over these delays.

4.4 Zelos Fees

The fees that Zelos charges for processing and managing payments and other aspects of Contests and the Services (i.e., the Zelos Fees) are listed on our fees page, which is accessible to registered Users at https://www.zelosarenas.com/faq/#fees. We may change Zelos Fees from time to time by posting the changes on the fees page. We also may offer additional or different services (e.g. near-instant payout methods, subject to availability and other terms) for additional fees. Any new or different Zelos Fees will apply to Contests created after the changes are posted to the fees page.

4.5 Payment Processing Services.

Zelos uses Stripe, Inc., and its affiliates as its Payment Processor for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, settlement, disbursements, and related services). Zelos may replace any of its Payment Processors without notice to Users. By making use of some or all of the payment services through the Services, you agree to be bound by Zelos’ policies and the Payment Processor’s policies, user agreements, terms and conditions. The Payment Processor’s terms and conditions are currently available at https://stripe.com/ssa and its Privacy Policy is currently available at https://stripe.com/us/privacy. You hereby consent and authorize Zelos to share any information and payment instructions provided to Zelos with the applicable Payment Processor to the extent required to process payments and complete applicable payouts. The Payment Processor may also be contacted directly for payment support by email at support@zelosarenas.com. Zelos reserves the right to change Payment Processors at any time.

4.6 Refunds; Holds

All buy-ins are final and Zelos will not, and is not obligated to, provide any refunds or otherwise return paid-in funds to any User, except as expressly set forth in these Terms. Users agree that Zelos reserves the right to manage risks associated with providing the Services by withholding payouts to any or all participants in a Contest at Zelos’ sole discretion if Zelos suspects or detects fraud or other illicit activity (whether with respect to the Contest generally or the payment specifically), or Zelos otherwise believes that there is a risk of chargeback or reversal of a User’s payment or payments.

4.7 Taxes

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the payment of any taxes associated with any winnings or other amounts paid to you by Zelos through the Services. Zelos will not withhold or make payments for any applicable taxes or other amounts. If you have created an account through the Services with the Payment Processor for purposes of receiving payouts, you should also be able to access applicable tax documents issued by the Payment Processor to you in connection with your activities on the Services. Furthermore, nothing in these Terms or related to your use of the Services (whether as a Creator, other User, or otherwise) is intended to, or should be construed to, create a partnership, agency, joint venture or employment relationship between Zelos and you or any other Contest participant.

5. USER CONTENT

5.1 User Content

User Content” means any and all information and content that a User submits to, or uses with, the Services (e.g., information you include in your profile, content you upload into or create through use of a feature on Services, the content of any messages you create using in-App messaging features within the Services). You are solely responsible for your User Content. You assume all risks associated with use of your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your User Content that personally identifies you or any third party.

You may not represent or imply to others that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored or endorsed by Zelos. Because you are responsible for your User Content, you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates Section 6. Zelos is not obligated to backup any User Content, and your User Content may be deleted at any time without prior notice. You are solely responsible for creating and maintaining your own backup copies of your User Content if you desire.

You hereby irrevocably waive (and agree to cause to be waived) any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to your User Content.

5.3 Enforcement

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any User Content, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate Section 6 or any other provision of the Agreement or otherwise create liability for us or any other person. Such action may include removing or modifying your User Content, terminating your Account in accordance with Section 13, and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.

5.4 Feedback

If you provide Zelos with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Services (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to Zelos all rights in such Feedback and agree that Zelos shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems appropriate. Zelos will treat any Feedback you provide to Zelos as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You agree that you will not submit to Zelos any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

15. ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires that you and Zelos arbitrate disputes against one another.

Dispute Resolution

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SECTION 15 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING HOW DISPUTES THAT YOU AND ZELOS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER WILL BE RESOLVED. AMONG OTHER THINGS, THIS SECTION 15 INCLUDES AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WHICH REQUIRES, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND ZELOS BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION 15 ALSO CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 15 CAREFULLY.

15.1 Applicability of Arbitration Agreement

Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and Zelos agree that any dispute, claim, or disagreement arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services, or the Terms, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

  • you and Zelos may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and
  • you or Zelos may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).

For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Terms as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms.

15.2 Informal Dispute Resolution

There may be instances when a Dispute arises between you and Zelos. If that occurs, Zelos is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution. You and Zelos agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually-beneficial outcome. You and Zelos therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you also agree to participate in the conference.

15.3

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which Informal Dispute Resolution Conference must occur within forty-five (45) days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed-upon by the parties in writing. Notice to Zelos that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by e-mail to support@zelosarenas.com or regular mail to our offices located at Zelos Arenas, Inc., 357 S. Bannock St., Unit 601, Denver, CO 80223; Attn: Zelos Operations. The Notice must include:

  • your name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address associated with your account (if you have one);
  • the name, telephone number, mailing address and e-mail address of your counsel, if any; and
  • a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference will be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. In the time between a party’s receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement will prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute. Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

15.4 Waiver of Jury Trial

[YOU AND ZELOS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY]. You and Zelos are instead electing that all Disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection titled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

15.5 Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND ZELOS AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 15.9 (BATCH ARBITRATION), EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the party's individual claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor will it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection 15.9 (Batch Arbitration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and Zelos agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) will be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado. All other Disputes will be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not prevent you or Zelos from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

15.6 Rules and Forum

These Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of Notice, you and Zelos agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at https://www.jamsadr.com, or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. Your responsibility to pay any JAMS fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable JAMS rules.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”). The Request must include:

  1. the name, telephone number, mailing address, e-mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the e-mail address associated with any applicable account;
  2. a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims;
  3. a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars;
  4. a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and
  5. evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request will also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and e-mail address. Such counsel must also sign the Request. By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that:

  1. the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution;
  2. the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and
  3. the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

Unless you and Zelos otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 15.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Subject to the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

You and Zelos agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings will be kept confidential and will not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

15.7 Arbitrator

The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Colorado and will be selected by the parties from the JAMS roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then JAMS will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 15.9 (Batch Arbitration) is triggered, JAMS will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

15.8 Authority of Arbitrator

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following:

  • all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection titled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection titled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection titled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator;
  • except as expressly contemplated in the subsection titled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees will be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator;
  • all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration will be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and
  • all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies will be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection titled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

15.9 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs

The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If you or Zelos need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration. The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

15.10 Batch Arbitration

To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and Zelos agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against Zelos by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30)-day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), JAMS will

  • administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests);
  • appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and
  • provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

15.11

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise JAMS, and JAMS will appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”). In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly. The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees will be paid by Zelos.

15.12

You and Zelos agree to cooperate in good faith with JAMS to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include:

  1. the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and
  2. the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision will in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

15.13 Thirty (30)-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: Zelos Arenas, Inc., 357 S. Bannock St., Unit 601, Denver, CO 80223; Attn: Zelos Operations, within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the e-mail address you used to set up your Zelos account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

15.14 Invalidity, Expiration

Except as provided in the subsection titled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief,” if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect. You further agree that any Dispute that you have with Zelos as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time-barred. Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

15.15 Modification

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Zelos makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you. Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Zelos at: Zelos Arenas, Inc., 357 S. Bannock St., Unit 601, Denver, CO 80223; Attn: Zelos Operations, your continued use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered on or through the Services, following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes. Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of these Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services or the Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms) remain in full force and effect. Zelos will continue to honor any valid opt-outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.

16. GENERAL

16.1 App Stores

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the App and the Services that rely on the App is dependent on the third party from whom you received the App license, e.g., the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an “App Store”). You acknowledge that the Agreement is between you and Zelos and not with the App Store. Zelos, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Services, including the App, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). To use the App, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the App. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the App is conditioned upon your compliance with all terms of agreement imposed by the applicable App Store when using the App and related Services. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Agreement and will have the right to enforce it. You acknowledge that neither Apple nor Google (each, an “App Provider”) has any obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store -Sourced Application. In the event of any failure of the App Store-Sourced Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Provider, and the App Provider will refund the purchase price for the App Store-Sourced Application to you and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App Provider will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App Store-Sourced Application. As between Zelos and the App Provider, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Zelos. You and Zelos acknowledge that, as between Zelos and the App Provider, the App Provider is not responsible for addressing any claims you have or any claims of any third party relating to the App Store-Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store-Sourced Application, including, but not limited to:

  • product liability claims;
  • any claim that the App Store-Sourced Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and
  • claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

You and Zelos acknowledge that in the event of any third-party claim that the App Store-Sourced Application or your possession and use of the App Store-Sourced Application infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, as between Zelos and the App Provider, Zelos, not the App Provider, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by the Agreement. Without limiting any other terms of the Agreement, you must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App Store-Sourced Application.

16.2 Assignment

The Agreement, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without Zelos’ prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Zelos may assign or transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement without your prior written consent as part of a corporate reorganization, or upon a change of control, consolidation, merger, or a sale of all or substantially all of its business or assets.

16.3 Force Majeure

Zelos shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

16.4 Governing Law

THE AGREEMENT AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COLORADO, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE AGREEMENT. To the extent the parties are permitted under the Agreement to initiate litigation in court, both you and Zelos agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado.

16.5 Notice

Where Zelos requires that you provide an email address, you are responsible for providing Zelos with your most current email address. In the event that the last email address you provided to Zelos is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Agreement, Zelos’ dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Zelos at the following address: Zelos Arenas, Inc., 357 S. Bannock St., Unit 601, Denver, CO 80223; Attn: Zelos Operations.
