You affirm that you are 17 years of age or older, or such higher age required in your country to use the Services. If you are under 17 years of age or such higher age required in your country to use the Services, please do not use our Services.
Assignment
These Terms & Conditions, including any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by GuruShots without restriction.
Purchases
Our Services permit the purchase of virtual items or services (“Virtual Goods”), that we expressly make available for use in the Services for a fee. Virtual Goods may also be rewarded for participating in Battles in our discretion. The ratio of how often Virtual Goods are given is based on general participation in Battles and may change over time. We may also reward you Virtual Goods for free or as part of a promotion. Some Virtual Goods will expire after a set time period. Upon the expiration of the time period, any unused Virtual Goods expire.
Virtual Goods are a category of Content. The purchase of Virtual Goods grants you only a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to use such Virtual Goods in conjunction with your personal, noncommercial use of the Services.
You understand and agree that while Virtual Goods may be described as being “purchased”, “bought”, “redeemed” or “spent”, the Virtual Goods themselves are not real world or virtual currency and do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent or property of any type.
You acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights in or to the Virtual Goods, or other Content; any balance of Virtual Goods does not reflect any stored value, but instead only constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. Virtual Goods may only be used in the Services and can never be sold, transferred, or exchanged for “real” money, “real” goods, or “real” services from us or anyone else.
You also agree that you will only obtain Virtual Goods from us and through means provided by us, and not from any third-party platform, exchange, broker, or other mechanism, unless expressly authorized. Once you acquire a license to Virtual Goods, you may not trade or transfer the Virtual Goods to another individual or account, unless such functionality is provided to you by us by way of a feature or service, whether inside the Services or through some other method. We may cancel any Virtual Goods sold, transferred, or exchanged in violation of these Terms & Conditions. Any such sale, transfer, or exchange (or attempt to do so) is prohibited and may result in the termination of your account or access to the Services.
Pricing and availability of Virtual Goods are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to change and update our pricing and inventory of Virtual Goods. As set forth above, all Virtual Goods and other Content is provided “as is,” without any warranty. We have the right to offer, modify, eliminate, and/or terminate Virtual Goods, the Content, and/or the Services, or any portion thereof, at any time, without notice or liability to you.
The purchase and sale of Virtual Goods is a completed transaction upon receipt of your payment and we will not permit exchanges or refunds regardless of the extent to which you use the Virtual Goods. Your ability to use any Virtual Goods is effective immediately once they are placed in your account.
The terms of any purchase will be explained on the purchase page within our Services, where you will provide your billing information and confirm the particulars of your purchase. If you purchase Virtual Goods, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase a license for the relevant Virtual Goods which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Goods available in your account or debit your credit card, whichever comes first, and you can then use the Virtual Goods immediately.
Some purchases will automatically renew. If a purchase that automatically renews involves Virtual Goods, we will charge your payment method upon the expiration of the license you purchased and the number of Virtual Goods you originally purchased will be added to your account to allow you to continue to use the Virtual Goods. Any additional terms of any purchase including an automatic renewal will be explained on the purchase page, which are incorporated herein.
Certain jurisdictions (for example, Israel, the United Kingdom and a member state of the European Union) may provide statutory rights, including a cooling-off period which allows you to withdraw from a purchase. Nothing herein is meant to limit your return or cancellation statutory rights.
17. Refund policy
You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an account registered to you. GuruShots may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time. You acknowledge GuruShots is not required to provide a refund for any reason, and that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused virtual items when an account is closed, whether such closure was voluntary or involuntary. Nothing herein is meant to limit your statutory rights of return or cancellation.
18. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GuruShots, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, licensors, distributors, sub-licensees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to our Services; (b) your violation of any term of these Terms & Conditions; (c) your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or (e) any claim that one of your Submissions or Generated Content caused damage to a third party. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms & Conditions and your use of our Services. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GuruShots, its parent corporation, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, licensors, distributors, sub-licensees, and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: our Services or GuruShots’ third party server failure, deficiency, collapse or any other circumstance resulting in a complete loss of digital property and/or documents and any and all Submissions and/or Generated Content. Users are responsible to always maintain an original copy of any Submissions in case of a complete loss.
19. Rewards and Payments
Winners Verification and Delivery of Awards
Users can participate in Battles within the Services by submitting Submissions or entering Generated Content which are voted on by other Users subject to these Terms & Conditions. Battles conducted on our Services may have additional terms of participation. Virtual Goods may be rewarded to Users for participating in Battles in our discretion. GuruShots may also award Virtual Goods or other awards to winners of Battles. In such cases, after the process of voting and judging to select award winners has finished, the potential award winners will be notified in accordance with the contact information provided with their respective entries via notification within the Services, mail, courier, email or other method chosen by GuruShots, partners and the sponsors in their discretion. GuruShots reserves the right to verify winners collectively or one or more at a time, as it deems appropriate in its discretion and in whatever order it chooses. For Battles involving Submissions, to be confirmed as a winner, Users will be required to confirm full legal rights and ownership of their Submission.
Should an award notification or award addressed to a particular User be returned as undeliverable, GuruShots will not resend the notice (whether by the same or another method), research the User’s address nor make any further attempts at delivery. In the case that a winner’s shipping address is located in a country or area designated by our Services as undeliverable, we reserve the right to provide a cash payment sent via PayPal, an Amazon gift card or other reward, in each case of equal value of the announced award. Winners will be announced after the required confirmation is received and the respective winners are confirmed. Winners will receive their awards within sixty (60) days of GuruShots’ announcement of the winners. The awards are subject to change at any time without notice and at the sole discretion of GuruShots.
Releases
By entering a Battle, each User releases and holds harmless GuruShots, its partners and sponsors, and any participating award providers, as well as any of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agencies, against any and all claims, demands and liabilities arising out of or relating to Battles, User’s participation in a Battle and/or any Battle-related activity, including, without limitation, from winner’s use or misuse of an award or any portion thereof. Users assume all liability for any injury or damage caused, or claimed to be caused, by participation in Battles and/or use/redemption of any award.
