Paima Studios Terms Of Service

Last Updated: April 11th, 2023

1. Introduction

Welcome to Paima Studios and Jungle Wars, owned and operated by Paima Studios Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (”Paima,” ”we,” ”us”, or ”our”). These Terms of Service (”Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Paima website(s), our APIs, mobile app (the ”App”), and any other software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our services; including without limitation using our services to view, explore, and purchase NFTs on public blockchains (collectively, the ”Service”). ”NFT” in these Terms means a non-fungible token or similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Algorand and Cardano blockchain) with the help of the Milkomeda Protocol, which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be associated with certain content or data.

For purposes of these Terms, ”user”, ”you”, and ”your” means you as the user of the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity then ”you” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 16 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) REQUIRE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT.

BY CLICKING TO ACCEPT OR USING OUR SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND ALL OF THE TERMS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE.

Paima is not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, money services business, or creditor. Paima creates games and NFTs so that players can see what’s possible with Web3 technology. We do not control the blockchains you are interacting with, and do not custody or control NFTs once you purchase them. To use our Service, you must use a third-party wallet which allows you to engage in transactions on blockchains.

Paima is not party to any agreement between any users. You bear full responsibility for verifying the identity, legitimacy, and authenticity of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers using the Service and we make no claims about the identity, legitimacy, functionality, or authenticity of users or NFTs (and any content associated with such NFTs) visible on the Service.

Because we have a growing number of services, we sometimes need to provide additional terms for specific services (and such services are deemed part of the ”Service” hereunder and shall also be subject to these Terms), and such additional terms shall control for those specific services.

Paima reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will use reasonable efforts to provide notice of such changes, such as by providing notice through the Service or updating the ”Last Updated” date at the beginning of these Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service, you confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms and all of the terms incorporated therein by reference effective as of the date these Terms are updated. It is your sole responsibility to review the Terms from time to time to view such changes and to ensure that you understand the terms and conditions that apply when you access or use the Service.

2. Accessing the Service

Like much of Web3, your blockchain address functions as your identity on Paima. Accordingly, you will need a blockchain address and a third-party wallet to access the Service. Your account on the service (”Account”) will be associated with your blockchain address; however, if you want to add some flair to your Paima persona, you may be able to can add additional information to your Account.

Your Account on Paima will be associated with your linked blockchain address. The Service may display the NFTs for that blockchain address (and, if applicable, any content associated with such NFTs). By using your wallet in connection with the Service, you agree that you are using that wallet under the terms and conditions of the applicable provider of the wallet. Wallets are not provided by, operated by or maintained by Paima, and Paima does not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and has no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. Paima accepts no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and makes no representations or warranties regarding how the Service will operate with any specific wallet. You are solely responsible for keeping your wallet secure and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. If you discover an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider. Likewise, you are solely responsible for your Account and any associated wallet and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account or as a result of your Account or wallet being compromised. You agree to immediately notify us if you discover or otherwise suspect any security issues related to the Service or your Account (you can contact us at [email protected]).

You represent, warrant and agree that you will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules of any applicable governmental or regulatory authority, all applicable tax, securities, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing, proliferation financing provisions, and sanctions (”Applicable Law”) when using the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, by using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of any jurisdiction that is subject to a comprehensive U.K. or U.S.A. Government embargo (”Embargoed Jurisdiction”); (b) you are not subject to any sanctions administered by an agency of the U.K. government, U.S.A. Government any other government, or the United Nations (collectively, ”Sanctions”); (c) you are not owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person that is subject to Sanctions, or that is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction; (d) none of your officers, managers, directors, shareholders or authorized representatives is subject to Sanctions, or is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction, or is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person that is subject to Sanctions or that is located in, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of, any Embargoed Jurisdiction. You further covenant that the foregoing shall be true during the entire period of these Terms. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your access and use of the Service in the country, territory or jurisdiction from whence you access the Service does not violate any applicable laws

Paima may require you to provide additional information and documents in certain circumstances, such as at the request of any government authority, as any applicable law or regulation dictates, or to investigate a potential violation of these Terms. In such cases, Paima, in its sole discretion, may disable your Account and block your ability to access the Service until such additional information and documents are processed by Paima. If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, Paima may refuse to restore your access to the Service.

Your access and use of the Service may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including, without limitation, the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance, or repair of the Service or other actions that Paima, in its sole discretion, may elect to take.

We require all users to be at least 18 years old. If you are at least 13 years old but under 18 years old, you may only use Paima through a parent or guardian’s Account and with their approval and oversight. That account holder is responsible for your actions using the Account. It is prohibited to use our Service if you are under 13 years old.

3. Ownership

The Service, including its ”look and feel” (e.g., text, graphics, images, logos, page headers, button icons, and scripts), the content that we own and incorporate into the NFTs we create and sell (e.g. text, graphics, pictures, sound files, and other content that the NFT incorporates or links to, collectively, the ”NFT Content”), proprietary content, information and other materials, and all content and other materials contained therein, including the Paima logo and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, data, software, sound files, other files, and the selection and arrangement thereof are the proprietary property of Paima or our Affiliates, licensors, or users, as applicable, and you agree not to take any action(s) inconsistent with such ownership interests. We and our Affiliates and licensors, as applicable, reserve all rights in connection with the Service and its content, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to create derivative works. The term ”Affiliates” means any person or legal entity that is directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control of, another person or legal entity, (where ”controlled” means the ownership of, or the power to vote, directly or indirectly, a majority of any class of voting securities of a corporation or limited liability company, or otherwise the power to direct the policies or management of such person or legal entity by contract or ownership).

For each NFT you purchase from us: we grant to you, the lawful buyer of the NFT, a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display the NFT Content for such purchased NFT, solely for the following purposes: (a) for the buyer’s own personal use; (b) as part of a marketplace that permits the purchase and sale of such NFTs, provided that the marketplace cryptographically verifies each NFT’s owner’s rights to display the NFT Content for their NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the NFT Content; or (c) as part of a third party website or application that permits the inclusion, involvement, or participation of your NFT, provided that the website/application cryptographically verifies each NFT’s owner’s rights to display the NFT Content for their NFTs to ensure that only the actual owner can display the NFT Content, and provided that the NFT Content is no longer visible once the owner of the NFTs leaves the website/application (the ”NFT Purchase License”). The NFT Purchase License does not give you the right to publicly display, perform, distribute, sell or otherwise reproduce the NFT or its related graphics, audio content, text or other media for any commercial purpose. The NFT Purchase License does not grant any rights to trademarks or service marks.

You acknowledge and agree that the NFT Purchase License only lasts as long as you are the valid owner and holder of the NFT associated with the licensed NFT Content. If you sell or transfer the NFT to another person, this NFT Purchase License will transfer automatically to such other lawful owner or holder of the NFT, and you will no longer have the NFT Purchase License; provided, however, if a NFT is factionalized into smaller ownership interests, the rights licensed hereunder do not transfer to each of the owners of such factionalized interests in the NFT.

Instead of the NFT Purchase License, we may state in writing that a broader or different license will govern a particular NFT that we sell or otherwise distribute, in which case that license will apply to that NFT (”Alternate License”).

Paima’s name, logo, trademarks, and any Paima product or service names, designs, logos, and slogans, including the mark “Volcaneers”, are the intellectual property of Paima or our Affiliates or licensors and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission in each instance. You may not use any metatags or other ”hidden text” utilizing ”Paima” or any other name, trademark or product or service name of Paima or our Affiliates or licensors without our prior written permission. In addition, the ”look and feel” of the Service constitutes the service mark, trademark or trade dress of Paima and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission.

All other third-party trademarks, registered trademarks, and product names mentioned on the Service or contained in the content linked to or associated with any NFTs displayed on the Service are the property of their respective owners and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without the permission of the applicable intellectual property rights holder. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information by name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Paima.

We welcome feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Service (”Feedback”). You acknowledge and expressly agree that any contribution of Feedback does not and will not give or grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service or in any such Feedback. You agree that Paima may use and disclose Feedback in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever without further notice or compensation to you and without retention by you of any proprietary or other right or claim. You hereby assign to Paima any and all right, title, and interest (including, but not limited to, any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, show-how, know-how, moral rights and any and all other intellectual property right) that you may have in and to any and all Feedback.

4. License to Access and Use Our Service and Content

You are hereby granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and personal license to access and use the Service provided, however, that such license is subject to your compliance with these Terms. If any software, content, or other materials owned by, controlled by, or licensed to us are distributed or made available to you as part of your use of the Service, we hereby grant you a non-commercial, personal, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, and non-exclusive right and license to access and display such software, content, and materials provided to you as part of the Service (and right to download a single copy of the App onto your applicable equipment or device), in each case for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Service as permitted by these Terms, provided that your license in any NFT Content is limited to and as solely set forth in the NFT Purchase License or applicable Alternate License.

5. Third-Party Content and Services

Paima helps you explore NFTs, use them to play games, and interact with different blockchains. Paima does not make any representations or warranties about third-party content or technology visible or accessible through our Service. We do not promise that any NFTs visible on Paima will always remain visible or available to be bought, sold, or transferred.

The Service may also contain links or functionality to access or use third-party websites (”Third-Party Websites”) and applications (”Third-Party Applications”) including blockchains and digital asset wallets, or otherwise display, include, or make available content, data, information, services, applications, or materials from third parties (”Third-Party Materials”). For example, you may use the Service to purchase NFTs or to play games that allow you to expend cryptocurrencies or other digital assets. In all such cases, you must use blockchains, protocols, networks, and digital asset wallets that are not owned or controlled by Paima. For the purposes of these Terms, Web3 technology that is operated in a decentralized manner is deemed a ”Third-Party Application”.

When you click on a link to, or access and use, a Third-Party Website or Third-Party Application, though we may not warn you that you have left our Service, you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials are not under the control of Paima, and may be ”open” applications for which no recourse is possible. Paima is not responsible or liable for any Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials. Paima provides links to these Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Applications only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Websites or Third-Party Applications, or their products or services or associated Third-Party Materials. You use all links in Third-Party Websites, Third-Party Applications, and Third-Party Materials at your own risk.

PAIMA (AND ITS SUPPLIERS) MAKE NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AND DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHETHER THE SERVICE: (A) WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (B) WILL BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS; OR (C) WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, COMPLETE, LEGAL, OR SAFE. PAIMA DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. PAIMA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF ANY KIND FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN OR TAKEN IN RELIANCE ON MATERIAL OR INFORMATION, CONTAINED ON THE SERVICE. WHILE PAIMA ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE SAFE, PAIMA CANNOT AND DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE, CONTENT, CONTENT LINKED TO OR ASSOCIATED WITH ANY NFTS, OR ANY NFTS YOU INTERACT WITH USING OUR SERVICE OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS’ SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF ANY DATA THAT YOU DISCLOSE ONLINE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR OBTAINED FROM THE PAIMA PARTIES OR THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN. YOU ACCEPT THE INHERENT SECURITY RISKS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION AND DEALING ONLINE OVER THE INTERNET AND WILL NOT HOLD PAIMA RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BREACH OF SECURITY.

WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS AND TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR, AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR, ANY USE OF NFTS, CONTENT, OR CONTENT LINKED TO OR ASSOCIATED WITH NFTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (A) USER ERROR, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED ADDRESSES; (B) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR USE; (D) ANY UNAUTHORIZED THIRD-PARTY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTEFORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE SERVICE OR NFTS.

NFTS EXIST ONLY BY VIRTUE OF THE OWNERSHIP RECORD MAINTAINED IN THE ASSOCIATED BLOCKCHAIN (E.G., ALGORAND NETWORK). ANY TRANSFERS OR SALES OCCUR ON THE ASSOCIATED BLOCKCHAIN.

NO PAIMA PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY SUSTAINED LOSSES OR INJURY DUE TO VULNERABILITY OR ANY KIND OF FAILURE, ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR OF SOFTWARE (E.G., WALLET, SMART CONTRACT), BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE NFTS. NO PAIMA PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES OR INJURY DUE TO LATE REPORTS BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN SUPPORTING THE NFTS, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING LOSSES OR INJURY AS A RESULT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties in contracts with consumers, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

12. Assumption of Risk

You accept and acknowledge:
  • The value of an NFTs is subjective. Prices of NFTs are subject to volatility and fluctuations in the price of cryptocurrency can also materially and adversely affect NFT prices. You acknowledge that you fully understand this subjectivity and volatility and that you may lose money.
  • A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development of those ecosystems and related applications, and could therefore also negatively impact the potential utility of NFTs.
  • The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrency, and other crypto-based items is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the Service and the utility of NFTs.
  • You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to your transactions and to withhold, collect, report, and remit the correct amounts of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Paima is not responsible for determining, withholding, collecting, reporting, or remitting the taxes that apply to your NFTs.
  • There are risks associated with purchasing items associated with content created by third parties through peer-to-peer transactions, including but not limited to, the risk of purchasing counterfeit items, mislabeled items, items that are vulnerable to metadata decay, items on smart contracts with bugs, and items that may become untransferable. You represent and warrant that you have done sufficient research before making any decisions to sell, obtain, transfer, or otherwise interact with any NFTs or accounts/collections.
  • We do not control the public blockchains that you are interacting with and we do not control certain smart contracts and protocols that may be integral to your ability to complete transactions on these public blockchains. Additionally, blockchain transactions are irreversible and Paima has no ability to reverse any transactions on the blockchain.
  • There are risks associated with using Internet and blockchain based products, including, but not limited to, the risk associated with hardware, software, and Internet connections, the risk of malicious software introduction, and the risk that third parties may obtain unauthorized access to your third-party wallet or Account. You accept and acknowledge that Paima will not be responsible for any communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions or delays you may experience when using the Service or any blockchain network, however caused.
  • The Service relies on third-party platforms or vendors. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers or vendors; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers or vendors change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms or vendors; or if any of such platforms or vendors loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of the Service will suffer.
  • Paima reserves the right to hide collections, contracts, and items affected by any of these issues or by other issues. Items you purchase may become inaccessible on Paima. Under no circumstances shall the inability to view items on Paima or an inability to use the Service in conjunction with the purchase, sale, or transfer of items available on any blockchains serve as grounds for a claim against Paima.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL PAIMA OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR: (A) ANY LOST PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR THIRD-PARTY SITES AND PRODUCTS, OR FOR (B) ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF PAIMA OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (C) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS, OR THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, ALL ACCESS AND USE OF WHICH ARE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THEFT OR DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE OR LOSS OF DATA RESULTING THEREFROM.

Some jurisdictions also limit disclaimers or limitations of liability for personal injury from consumer products, so this limitation may not apply to personal injury claims.

14. Privacy Policy

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and share personal data about you. By submitting personal data through our Service, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy and you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

16. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

  • Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section 16 (”Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Paima and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
  • Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising in any way from your access or use of the Service, any products sold or distributed through the Service, or these Terms (“Dispute”), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, including threshold questions of the arbitrability of such dispute, controversy, or claim except that you or Paima may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
  • Dispute resolution process. You and Paima both agree to engage in good-faith efforts to resolve Disputes prior to either party initiating an arbitration. You must initiate this dispute resolution process by sending a letter describing the nature of your claim and desired resolution (“Dispute Notice”) (when sent to Paima, you must send the Dispute Notice to: Paima Studios Ltd., Attn: Legal Department, Paima Studios, Floor 4, Banco Popular Building, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands). No later than 15 days after the receiving party receives the Dispute Notice, both parties must meet and confer personally, by telephone, or by videoconference (hereinafter “Conference”) to discuss the Dispute and attempt in good faith to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that avoids the expenses of further proceedings. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the Conference. Likewise, if Paima is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the Conference as well, but Paima agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the Conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process and Conference required by this paragraph. If the parties do not reach agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after the receiving party receives the Dispute Notice, either party may commence arbitration, file an action in small claims court, or file a claim for injunctive or equitable relief in a court of proper jurisdiction for matters relating to intellectual property infringement, if the claims qualify.
  • Arbitration rules and forum if you are located in any jurisdiction other than the U.S.A.: The arbitration will be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). The location of the arbitration will be in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), unless you choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or videoconference so that the arbitration is reasonably convenient to you. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Arbitration rules and forum if you are located in the United States: the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards then in effect. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS filing, administrative, hearing, or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Paima will pay them for you if you complied with the dispute resolution process set forth above. In addition, Paima will reimburse all such JAMS filing, administrative, hearing, or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless (a) you have initiated the arbitration claim, in which case 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, (b) the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, (c) you did not comply with the dispute resolution process set forth above, or (d) your use of the Services were for commercial or business purposes rather than as a consumer. You are still responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. The location of the arbitration will be in Miami, Florida, U.S.A., unless you choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or video conference so that the arbitration is reasonably convenient to you. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any Dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall 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 arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would; provided, however, the arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages, treble damages, or any other damages which are not compensatory, even if permitted under any applicable law.
  • Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND PAIMA HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
  • Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE CLASS BASIS. Accordingly, under the arbitration procedures outlined in this section, an arbitrator shall not combine or consolidate more than one party’s claims without the written consent of all affected parties to an arbitration proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you and Paima agree that no Dispute shall proceed by way of class arbitration without the written consent of all affected parties. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court as provided in Section 17. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then this entire Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Disputes.
  • Confidentiality. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential. The existence of the arbitration, any nonpublic information provided in the arbitration, and any submissions, orders or awards made in the arbitration (together, the “Confidential Information”) shall not be disclosed to any non-party except the tribunal, the administrator of the arbitration, the parties, their counsel, experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and reinsurers, and any other person necessary to the conduct of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure may be required to fulfill a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings.
  • Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Paima, and any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
  • Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if Paima makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing to Paima at the following address: Paima Studios Ltd., Attn: Legal, Floor 4, Banco Popular Building, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands, in which case only the unchanged provisions of this Arbitration will govern with respect to you.

17. Governing Law and Alternate Venue

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands (without regard to conflict of law rules or principles of the British Virgin Islands, or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction). For any dispute, controversy, or claim between the parties that is not subject to arbitration as set forth in Section 16, other than proceedings seeking injunctive or equitable relief if the claim relates to intellectual property infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, the parties agree that the courts in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) will be the exclusive forums for brining any action, and that neither party may challenge this choice of forum on procedural grounds; and to that end, each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or later have to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement brought in such courts.

18. Termination

If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by Paima to you will terminate automatically. Additionally, notwithstanding anything contained in these Terms, we reserve the right, with or without notice and in our sole discretion, to suspend, disable, terminate, or delete your Account or your ability to access or use the Service (or any part of the foregoing) at any time and for any or no reason, and you acknowledge and agree that we shall have no liability or obligation to you in such event and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any amounts that you have already paid to us.

19. Severability

If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms (including without limitation, the Arbitration Agreement) is held invalid or unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision will be severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining part of that term, clause, or provision, or any other term, clause, or provision of these Terms.

20. Injunctive Relief

You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to Paima for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Paima shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security, or proof of damages.

21. California Residents

If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

22. Export Laws

You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Service, or other information or materials provided by Paima hereunder, to any country for which any relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Service may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.K. or U.S.A. embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.K. or U.S.A. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.K. Sanctions List, the HM Treasury Sanction List, the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable export laws and regulations.

23. Survival

All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms, including those protecting Paima’s rights and limiting its liabilities, shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of these Terms by Paima or you. Termination will not limit any of Paima’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

24. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Paima relating to your access to and use of the Service. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Paima, and Paima’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The word “and/or” as used in these Terms has an inclusive meaning, equivalent to “or”. The terms ‘include’ and ‘including’ will be deemed to be immediately followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The headings appearing at the beginning of several sections contained in these Terms have been inserted for identification and reference purposes only and must not be used to construe or interpret these Terms. The word “will” as used in these Terms has its common meaning, as well as the meaning ascribed to the word “shall”: expressing a current obligation, or obligation that will arise in the future. Defined terms in the singular include the plural and vice versa. Words in the masculine gender include the feminine and neuter gender and vice versa. Words such as ”herein,” ”hereinafter,” ”hereto,” ”hereby,” and ”hereunder,” when used in these Terms, refer to these Terms as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.

Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
