California (USA) Release

 

California, USA, residents expressly agree to waive California Civil Code Sec. 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

 

Privacy

 

The Privacy Policy is also part of this agreement, explaining how Star Max use, protect and disclose your personal information.

 

Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

You and Star Max agree that the processes for dispute resolution described in this agreement will apply to any dispute or claims related to these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, or the Service. Disputes include any claims of any kind, including but not limited to legal, equitable, or statutory claims. Processes for dispute resolution will apply even if you stop using your Account, delete your Account, or stop using the Service. They will also apply to disputes that arose before we entered into this agreement.

 

A. This section only applies to All USER WHO ARE RESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

a. Agreement to Arbitrate

Either you or Star Max may choose to submit any dispute for resolution exclusively by final and binding arbitration unless the claim is within the exceptions described in these Terms. If you or Star Max brings a claim in court that can be resolved by arbitration under this section, then either party can ask the court to order the parties to resolve the claim by arbitration. The arbitrator will have the exclusive authority to decide whether any portion of this section is valid or enforceable, or whether it applies to a claim.

 

An arbitration proceeding will be held before a neutral arbitrator. This means you and Star Max agree to give up the right to resolve the dispute in a trial before a judge or jury. Arbitration has different rules than more formal lawsuits. After the arbitrator decides the outcome, that decision will be final.

 

b. Class Action Waiver

The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Star Max specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of this Provision, as specified below, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Service can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements below.

 

c. Informal Dispute Resolution

The parties shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least thirty(30) days before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations begin upon the sending of a properly addressed written notice from one party to the other ("Notice of Dispute"). The Notice of Dispute must: (i) include the full name and contact information of the complaining party; (ii) include additional information to identify the complaining party and the relevant player's Account(s), including email address(es) used to establish your Account(s), Device ID; (iii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iv) set forth the specific relief sought. Star Max will send its Notice of Dispute to your postal or email address. The Notice of Dispute to Star Max shall be sent to [cs.prisonangels@gmail.com]. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent, you or Star Max may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

 

d. Arbitration Procedures

If this Provision applies, either you or Star Max may initiate arbitration proceedings. The arbitration will be run by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). AAA’s rules and procedures will be used for the arbitration, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules. But if there is a conflict between these Terms of Service and AAA’s rules and procedures, then we will follow these Terms of Service. To review AAA’s Rules or to start arbitration, you can go to AAA’s website. If either of us decide to start arbitration, we agree to provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules.

 

The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be final and binding on the parties, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.

 

The arbitration will take place either in San Francisco, California, USA or in the county or province where you reside.

 

Each Party shall pay its own arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses. You are responsible for all fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses, unless the claims allow for to the prevailing party to recover attorneys’ fees and costs, in which case the arbitrator may award them under the applicable law. If either party unsuccessfully challenges the validity of the arbitrator’s decision or award through a subsequent court case, the unsuccessful party shall pay the opposing party’s costs and attorneys’ fees associated with the challenge.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, and each party reserves the right to bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to stop and/or seek compensation for the intentional or willful misuse or abuse (e.g. hacking or falsifying location) of their intellectual property.

 

e. Opt-Out of Arbitration Agreement and No Class Actions Provisions

Notwithstanding the above, you can choose to opt out of and not be bound by the Arbitration Agreement and No Class Action provisions above by providing WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT-OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Arbitration Opt-Out Notice”). To opt-out of these arbitration procedures, you must provide written notification by contacting [cs.prisonangels@gmail.com].

 

Your written notification must include (1) your name and in-game username/id, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Star Max through arbitration and/or that you do not agree to No Class Actions provisions. Your decision to opt-out of this Provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Star Max. If you do not provide the Star Max with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within 30 days from the date that you first consent to these Terms, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any dispute.

 

f. Governing Laws.

You and Star Max each agree that these Terms including but not limited to any Dispute, controversy, difference, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Services, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any Dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Services shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the United States of America, excluding its conflict of law principles.

 

g. Severability

If any clause within this Provision (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remainder of this Provision will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Provision will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court.

 

i. Continuation

This Provision shall survive this Agreement, the termination of your account (if applicable), and/or your access to or use of the Service.

 

B. This section only applies to All USER WHO ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, EXCLUDING CONSUMERS AND PERSONS WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

a. Governing Law.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of Hong Kong without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

 

b. Class Action Waiver.

The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and Star Max specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of this Provision, as specified below, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other user of the Service can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements below.

 

c. Informal Dispute Resolution

d. The parties shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least thirty(30) days before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations begin upon the sending of a properly addressed written notice from one party to the other ("Notice of Dispute"). The Notice of Dispute must: (i) include the full name and contact information of the complaining party; (ii) include additional information to identify the complaining party and the relevant player's Account(s), including email address(es) used to establish your Account(s), Device ID; (iii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iv) set forth the specific relief sought. Star Max will send its Notice of Dispute to your postal or email address. The Notice of Dispute to Star Max shall be sent to [cs.prisonangels@gmail.com]. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Dispute is sent, you or Star Max may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

 

e. Arbitration Procedures

Either you or Star Max may initiate arbitration by submitting the Dispute to the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) for arbitration. Such arbitration shall be conducted exclusively in Hong Kong, at HKIAC, in accordance with the Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration. The appointing authority shall be HKIAC. The language to be used in the arbitral preceding shall be English.

 

Each Party shall pay its own arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses. You are responsible for all fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses, unless the claims allow for to the prevailing party to recover attorneys’ fees and costs, in which case the arbitrator may award them under the applicable law. If either party unsuccessfully challenges the validity of the arbitrator’s decision or award through a subsequent court case, the unsuccessful party shall pay the opposing party’s costs and attorneys’ fees associated with the challenge.

 

If this agreement is not enforceable on any Dispute, both parties agree that such Dispute shall be brought in a court in Hong Kong. You hereby consent to and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and/or forum non convenience with respect to venue and jurisdiction, whether by arbitration or judicial judgment.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights, and each party reserves the right to bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to stop and/or seek compensation for the intentional or willful misuse or abuse (e.g. hacking or falsifying location) of their intellectual property.
