IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SERVICES.
- GameBlazers Account Creation
- Creating a GameBlazers Account. In order to use the Services as a Player, you are required to create a GameBlazers account (“Account”, as further defined below). You must be a United States citizen and resident of at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your applicable state, to register an Account; otherwise, you may not use the Services. . You represent that the information in your Account, and any other information you otherwise provide to us, is accurate, current and complete information, and agree to update it and keep it accurate, current and complete. We reserve the right to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements to use the Services and to suspend or terminate your Account or your access to the Services, at our sole discretion, if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information you provided to us is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete. It shall be a violation of this Agreement to (a) submit inauthentic information for Account registration or maintenance, (b) create or control more than one Account without our express written authorization (including, but not limited to, using a name that is not yours, using a temporary or secondary email address, or providing any other falsified information), or (c) allow any other person to use your Account to participate in or otherwise use the Services. If you are seeking to participate in Pay-to-Play contests on the Services (collectively, “P2P Players”), additional terms and rules may apply to you.
- Account Activities. When you create an Account, you will be asked to create a username and password. You may not use a username that promotes a commercial venture, implies a false affiliation, infringes upon the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others, or that we determine in our sole discretion may be offensive. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account and password and for restricting access to your computer and/or mobile device, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities, charges (if applicable), and damages that occur under your Account. If you discover any unauthorized use of your Account, or other known Account-related security breach, you must report it to us immediately. You agree that you are responsible for anything that happens through your Account until you close your Account or prove that your Account security was compromised due to no fault of your own. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.
- P2P Player Accounts. Players who deposit money into an Account or participate in, or attempt to participate in, gaming structures through the Services (“Contests”) in order to win monetary prizes through the Services are referenced herein as P2P Players. You agree that the sole and specific purpose of depositing any money into your Account is to participate in fantasy sports Contests on the Services. We may suspend, limit or terminate your Account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are depositing funds without the intention of using them in Contests on the Services and in some circumstances, we may also report such activity to relevant authorities. By entering a Pay-to-Play Contest, you represent and warrant that you (a) are 21 years of age or older; (b) are a U.S. citizen and resident; (c) at the time of Contest entry, are a resident of a U.S. jurisdiction where your participation in the Contest is not prohibited by applicable law; (d) are not subject to any backup withholding tax with the IRS or other relevant tax authority; (e) are not an employee or operator of another fantasy sports site that charges entrance fees or offers monetary prizes, or an immediate family member or domestic partner of any of the foregoing; and (f) do not and have not had any access to any pre-release, non-public, or otherwise confidential information about a Contest that is unavailable to other Contest participants and may provide you with an advantage in such a Contest. GameBlazers reserves the right to require you to provide proof that you are eligible to participate in a Pay-to-Play Contest according to the terms of this Agreement prior to receiving a monetary prize. If GameBlazers determines in its sole discretion that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this Agreement, we may (in addition to its other rights and remedies it may have in law or equity) terminate your Account, withhold or revoke any prize associated with your Account, or limit your ability to withdraw funds or prizes from your Account. GameBlazers also reserves the right to withhold prizes in furtherance of fraud prevention or anti-money laundering efforts. In such situations, GameBlazers may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to other eligible P2P Players in such Contest in a manner consistent with the scoring rules or prize structure of the Contest, to be precisely determined by us in our sole discretion. Moreover, you agree that the sole and specific purpose for which you may deposit money into an Account is to participate in a Contest. GameBlazers may suspend, limit, or terminate your Account if we reasonably believe that you are depositing money without the intention of participating in a Contest on the Services and we may also report such activity to relevant authorities. You further understand and agree that you are solely responsible for any fees or costs incurred in connection with, and for paying any applicable income, sales, or other taxes that you may be subject to as a P2P as a result of using the Services.

- General GameBlazers Marketplace Rules, Access, and Account Termination
- Athlete Items and Use in Contests. In addition to the Contests, the Services may also make available through the Site certain digital and unique sports collectible items (“Items”) representing professional athletes and certain of their athletic statistics (each an “Athlete Item”). Athlete Items may be bought, sold, traded or otherwise acquired on the Services for the purposes of engaging with other Players on the Services and utilizing such Athlete Items as part of the gameplay in both Free-to-Play and Pay-to-Play Contests. When actively used in a Contest in accordance with the Contest Rules (as defined below), the stated statistics of an Athlete Item may represent the fantasy sports points earned by such professional athlete. Such fantasy sports points of an Athlete Item may be enhanced by one or more multipliers, where such multipliers may be determined by the face value statistics stated on a particular Athlete Item or the face value stated on certain special, limited-edition, and/or rare Athlete Items made available on the Services from time to time (“Boost Items”). Boost Items may allow for temporary or permanent increases to a multiplier for an Athlete Item of a Player’s choice, depending on the Athlete Item and the applicable Contest Rules. Additionally, certain Items unrelated to any Contest gameplay may represent certain special benefits, prizes or other rewards available to Players (“Wild Items”).
- GB Marketplace and Seller Terms. Subject to compliance with this Agreement and applicable Contest Rules, Players may buy, sell, or trade certain Items on the Services with other Players through Item marketplace on the Services (the “GB Marketplace”). All Players acknowledge and agree that use of the GB Marketplace is strictly for the sole purpose of buying, selling, or trading certain eligible Items for use in the Services. You further acknowledge and agree that if you post an Item for sale or trade on the GB Marketplace as a “Seller,” you are authorized to offer such Item for sale or trade in accordance with this Agreement (including applicable Contest Rules) and that you will comply with all applicable laws, rules or regulations related to your offer or sale of such Item. Seller shall at all times maintain a positive account balance on the Services or with respect to such Seller’s sub-merchant account with a GameBlazers’ payment processor, if applicable. No Items sold or traded through the Services will be delivered separately or require an additional purchase outside of the Site, for example, via a third-party website or other channel. Seller understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for its Items that it offers or sells through the GB Marketplace, including reposting or making available any applicable terms and conditions regarding such Items.
- GB Marketplace and Buyer Terms. Players who purchase Items from other Players through the GB Marketplace as “Buyers” understand and agree that (a) GameBlazers is not the seller of the Items promoted on the GB Marketplace and that the trade value or sale price is solely determined by the transacting Players; (b) Items made available through the GB Marketplace may be subject to terms and conditions under this Agreement or applicable Contest Rules, and Buyer is responsible for complying with such terms and conditions; and (c) Buyer is responsible for payment of all fees and charges (such as taxes, if applicable and GameBlazers processing fees for the transaction) for purchases made on the GB Marketplace through Buyer’s Account, and for providing and maintaining current and accurate payment details in Consumer’s Account.

GameBlazers collects a transaction fee of 5% of the purchase price of a transaction value when facilitating the sale of Items through the GB Marketplace.

All purchases made on GB Marketplace are final and no refunds will be issued.
- User Interactions. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the GameBlazers Privacy Policy, your direct interactions with other Users, including trades or transactions on or through GB Marketplace, are solely between you and that individual User. Except as otherwise specifically stated herein, GameBlazers is not involved in any actual transactions made through GB Marketplace. GameBlazers is not the agent or representative of any User for any purpose whatsoever. For details about our information collection practices, please see our Privacy Policy. IF THERE IS A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PLAYER), GAMEBLAZERS IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO BECOME INVOLVED, AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE GAMEBLAZERS FROM ANY CLAIMS, DEMANDS, OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND AND OF ANY NATURE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
- Suspension and Termination Rights. GameBlazers reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to suspend, restrict, or permanently terminate any User's access to the Marketplace and related services for any reason, including but not limited to: (a) Violation of these Terms of Service or any applicable policies; (b) Engagement in fraudulent, deceptive, or harmful activities; (c) Conduct that GameBlazers reasonably determines may harm other Users, third parties, or GameBlazers' business interests; (d) Any other reason GameBlazers deems appropriate based on its good faith assessment of User conduct and Marketplace activity.

- General Contest Rules
- General. After you create an Account, you will be able to use the Services to view Contests available for entry. You are solely responsible for knowing and understanding the rules and required entry fees (for Pay-to-Play Contests) for any given Contest in which you participate. Please note that you must meet all eligibility requirements and otherwise comply with any other applicable rules to be eligible to win a prize. GameBlazers Contests are games of skill. Winners are determined by the objective criteria described in the applicable rules, scoring guidelines, and associated documentation for each Contest (collectively, “Contest Rules”). By entering a Contest, you agree to be bound by the applicable Contest Rules and decisions of GameBlazers, which shall be final and binding in all respects. GameBlazers, in its sole discretion, may disqualify any Player from a Contest, refuse to award benefits or prizes and require the return of any prizes, if the Player engages in conduct or otherwise utilizes any information that we deem to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Contest or that is in any way detrimental to other Players. The forfeiture or return of any Contest prize shall in no way prevent us from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct. GameBlazers may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require a winning Player of a Pay-to-Play Contest to execute a separate release of claims similar to the one contained in this Agreement as a condition of being awarded any prize or receiving any payout.
- Entry Fees (P2P Only). Pay-to-Play (P2P) Contests each have an entry fee listed in U.S. dollars. The entry fee may vary from Contest to Contest. When you choose to enter a P2P Contest and complete the entry process, the requisite entry fee will be debited from your Account. You may not cancel your entry after a Contest begins and GameBlazers has no obligation to honor cancellation requests received within 15 minutes of the start of any Contest.
- Contest Disqualification or Cancellation. We reserve the right to cancel Contests, in our sole discretion, without any restrictions. We may, in our sole discretion, disqualify you from a Contest or the Services, refuse to award fantasy points or prizes and require the return of any prizes, or suspend, limit or terminate your Account if you engage in prohibited conduct under this Agreement or if we deem such conduct, in our sole discretion, to be improper, unfair, fraudulent, or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Services or in any way detrimental to other Users.
- Contest Prizes. Prizes will only be awarded if a Contest is run. Players in each Contest who accumulate the most fantasy points and comply with the eligibility requirements of this Agreement and applicable Contest Rules will win the prize(s) set out in the applicable Contest Rules or posted Contest details or on the Contest page. Subject to compliance with this Agreement, prizes will be added to a winning Player’s Account. No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the Contest is challenged by any legal authority, GameBlazers reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award or adjust such prizes. In all disputes arising out of the determination of the winner of a Contest, GameBlazers, LLC is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding. All prizes are awarded “as is” and without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
- Winner Notification. Winners are generally posted on the Site after the conclusion of each Contest on the following day. Winners may be requested to return via email or regular mail an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement and appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in disqualification. Any prize notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. In addition, a list of winners and winner's names for each competition period may be obtained by writing to the address for GameBlazers as set forth below.
- Deposits and Withdrawals. While certain features of the Services are free, there are associated entry fees for P2P Contests. We may limit the amount you can deposit into your Account in accordance with state-imposed deposit limits. By depositing funds or entering paid Contests, you agree to provide us with any information we may require in order to run appropriate identity checks and comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations. If necessary, you may be required to provide appropriate documentation that allows us to verify your identity. While your Account is pending verification, you may be able to deposit funds into your Account and participate in Contests, but you will not be able to withdraw any funds from your Account until verification is complete. If we are unable to verify your identity, we reserve the right to suspend your Account and withhold any funds until such time as we have been able to successfully verify your identity. Deposits, and monetary prizes to winning Players after Contests are finished, are held in a separate, segregated bank account. These funds belong to you, subject to review for evidence of fraud, verification or other prohibited conduct as described above, and GameBlazers may not use them to cover its operating expenses or for other purposes. Your withdrawals will be made from this segregated bank account, and checks issued from that account may bear the name of a GameBlazers affiliate entity. We may also conduct checks for your compliance with this Agreement and any applicable Contest Rules, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a withdrawal, and we may request additional information before permitting a withdrawal (collectively, “Compliance Checks”). Subject to such Compliance Checks, you may close your Account and withdraw your deposits and/or winnings at any time and for any reason.
- Taxation. All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Contests is challenged by any legal authority, GameBlazers reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes. Each year, all winners who have won $600 USD or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to GameBlazers. These details will be used to allow GameBlazers to comply with tax regulations and may be shared with appropriate tax authorities. In compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, GameBlazers may be required to submit a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income (Form 1099), to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other appropriate form to any person who wins in excess of $600 (USD) on the Site (winnings less entry fees) in any given year. Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, GameBlazers may require you to complete a Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and Certification and/or additional tax forms. This information will be used to file the Form 1099 with the IRS. GameBlazers reserves the right to withhold (from your existing Account balance and/or from future net winnings) any amount required to be withheld by law. You remain solely responsible for filing and paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in your local, state, province, and/or country of residence. GameBlazers does not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in this agreement or on the Service be construed as tax advice.
- Publicity. By entering a Contest, you consent to GameBlazers’ and its service providers’ and business partners’ use of your name, voice, likeness, location and photograph in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation (including marketing and promotion) of the selected Contest and/or other GameBlazers Contests and GameBlazers generally, unless otherwise prohibited by law. GameBlazers and its business partners reserve the right to make public statements about the entrants and winner(s), on-air, on the internet, or otherwise, prior to, during, or following the Contest. Entrants agree that GameBlazers may announce any winner's name on-air or on any of its Sites or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of GameBlazers or other Contests or games operated by GameBlazers. You agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with a Contest constitutes complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and you agree not to charge a fee or impose other conditions on the fulfillment of these obligations. Specific Contest Rules may contain additional publicity obligations or may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.
- Bonuses and Promotions. From time to time, GameBlazers may provide you with promotional discounts, monetary credits, bonuses or Wild Items as an incentive to use the Services or to refer others to create a GameBlazers Account. Such promotional programs will be governed by their own terms and conditions which will be presented at the time of such promotions. Unless otherwise provided, promotional bonuses are non-transferrable.
- Account Inactivity. If your Account has no activity for twenty-four (24) consecutive months, we will consider your Account inactive and upon notice to you we may take steps to assess a monthly Account maintenance fee for your inactive Account until you reactivate your Account by logging in, entering a Contest, making a deposit, or withdrawing funds. If your Account remains inactive for the amount of time specified by applicable law, usually between thirty-six (36) and sixty (60) months, it will be considered abandoned. Once an account is abandoned, GameBlazers is required by state law to remit the abandoned funds to the appropriate state agency as unclaimed property. GameBlazers may also charge additional fees associated with the delivery of abandoned funds to the applicable state agency subject to limitations of applicable law.
- Availability of the Services

In accordance with the DMCA, we have adopted a policy of, in appropriate circumstances, terminating User Accounts that are repeat infringers of the intellectual property rights of others. We may also terminate User Accounts even based on a single infringement.
- Counter-Notice. If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent: (1) Your physical or electronic signature; (2) Identification of the User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (3) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content; and (4) Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the User Content provider, member or user, the removed User Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

- Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Provision
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
- Initial Dispute Resolution. For any problem or dispute that you may have with us, you understand and agree that you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. In order to initiate this dispute resolution process, you agree that you shall first send us a written description of your problem or dispute within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the problem or dispute by sending an email to: [email protected] or by mail to the address listed below. You then agree to negotiate with us in good faith about your problem or dispute for sixty (60) days. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after our receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the arbitration provisions below.
- Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
- Location. Any arbitration shall take place inMinneapolis, Minnesota.
- Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND GAMEBLAZERS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. 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 the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
- Exceptions – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
- 30-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to us at [email protected]. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
- Changes to this Section. We will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 30th day, and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 30th day. The Agreement and the relationship between you and GameBlazers shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to conflict of law provisions.

- Waiver and Severability.
