LICENSE AGREEMENT AND TERMS OF USE

YOUR USE OF THIS EPIC SPORTS AND ITS AFFILIATES (collectively "EPIC", "us", "our", or "we") MOBILE APP, WEBSITES, CONTESTS, SERVICES, AUTOMATED CHATBOTS, ONLINE CHAT FEATURES, EMAIL AND/OR TEXTING, OR SOFTWARE (Hereinafter "SITES") IS YOUR UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT FULLY ACCEPT OR UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE OR ACCESS EPIC "SITES" AND OPT OUT IMMEDIATELY.

NOTICE REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: THESE TERMS CONTAIN PROVISIONS THAT GOVERN HOW CLAIMS YOU AND EPIC (OR ANY MEMBER OF THE EPIC FAMILY OF BUSINESSES) HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER RELATING TO THE "SITES" ARE RESOLVED INCLUDING OBLIGATIONS TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES, WHICH WILL, SUBJECT TO LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, REQUIRE YOU TO SUBMIT CLAIMS YOU HAVE AGAINST US TO BINDING ARBITRATION, THESE PROVISIONS INCLUDE EACH PARTY'S WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. Any and or All dispute(s) or claim(s) relating in any way to your use of or interaction with EPIC or its advertising to you or communications with you, (including but not limited to calling, texting, emailing, customer service, advertising, products, services, website, or mobile app) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than court.

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, and expressly includes claims brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq., or any other statute, regulation, or legal or equitable theory. You and EPIC hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. ("FAA") applies to this agreement to arbitrate and governs all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration. Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association's Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the arbitration (the "AAA's Rules"). However, just as a court would, the arbitrator or arbitrators must honor the terms and limitations in this Agreement and can award damages and relief (including any attorneys' fees) authorized by law and/or the AAA's Rules. The arbitration decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EPIC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE PROCEDURES OR RULES OF THE AAA WOULD. RATHER, YOU AND WE ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL, BILATERAL BASIS. FURTHER, AND UNLESS YOU AND EPIC SPORTS, INC AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

You and EPIC are each responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration. Epic, however, will pay for the arbitration administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator and/or other AAA case management fees, for any claim seeking $75,000 or less, unless the claim is determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. Otherwise, the AAA's Rules regarding costs and payment apply.

This agreement to arbitrate does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

If any term of this Section (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) is to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term. If application of this Severability provision should materially and adversely affect the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Party adversely impacted shall be entitled to compensation for such adverse impact, provided the reason for the invalidity or unenforceability of a term is not due to serious misconduct by the Party seeking such compensation.
