Rec Tokens, Rec Token Transactions, the Creator Payment Program, and the Video Partner Program

Eligible users of Rec Room may acquire, under a limited and revocable license, our virtual in-game currency ("Rec Tokens"), solely for use in connection with activities within Rec Room. In addition, eligible creators of User Content may, through the Creator Payment Program, apply to cash out earned Rec Tokens for U.S. dollars.

REC TOKENS

You may acquire Rec Tokens: (i) by purchasing Rec Tokens directly from us; (ii) by subscribing to Rec Room Plus; (iii) through contests, promotions, or other means of distribution determined by us from time-to-time in our sole discretion; or (iv) through creating User Content which you then make available within Rec Room to other users in exchange for Rec Tokens those users have purchased or earned. Your license to use Rec Tokens will terminate upon termination of these Terms or your license to access Rec Room, or as otherwise provided in the Terms. Users shall be subject to daily purchase limits, as may be implemented or changed by Rec Room Inc. in its sole discretion, and in any event are prohibited from purchasing more than $10,000 in Rec Tokens in any one calendar day. All payments for Rec Tokens are final and not refundable or exchangeable, except as required by applicable law.

Rec Tokens do not have an equivalent value in, nor act as a substitute for, any other currency, whether real or virtual. Rec Tokens do not earn interest. Transactions involving the exchange of Rec Tokens for virtual items or virtual services, including User Content, in Rec Room are not legally enforceable, may not form the basis of any private right of action against Rec Room Inc. or any user or any other third party, and are governed solely by Rec Room Inc. in its discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Rec Room Inc. may engage in actions that may impact the perceived value or acquired price of Rec Tokens at any time, and for any reason, except as prohibited by applicable law.

Any license to Rec Tokens is non-exclusive, revocable, personal, limited, non-transferable (except as specifically set out in these Terms), and permits you to use Rec Tokens solely for your individual, personal, entertainment use exclusively within Rec Room. You may not transfer, assign, sell, gift, exchange, trade, convert, lease, sublicense, rent, or distribute Rec Tokens except in accordance with these Terms and, as applicable, the Creator Payment Program, or as otherwise expressly permitted by us. Any disposition or attempted disposition of Rec Tokens in violation of these Terms will be void and may result in revocation of your license to use Rec Tokens and/or termination of your access to Rec Room. We do not recognize, condone or support any third-party services that may be used to sell, exchange, transfer, or otherwise dispose of Rec Tokens, other than the third party we have authorized to facilitate exchange payments through the Creator Payment Program. Rec Room Inc., in its sole discretion, may impose additional or other limits on Rec Tokens and the Creator Payment Program, including, but not limited to, the amount that may be acquired, earned, transferred, redeemed or otherwise disposed of at any given time.

REC TOKEN TRANSACTIONS

When licensed to utilize Rec Tokens, you will be able to trade them within Rec Room for access to certain Content provided by us, as well as User Content created and offered by other users in user-to-user transactions. All transactions in Rec Tokens will be governed by these Terms. User-to-user Rec Token transactions may also be governed by terms negotiated between you and another user, provided such additional terms do not violate these Terms, the Code of Conduct, the Creator Payment Program Rules, and Rec Room policy, or additional policies we may impose in our sole discretion at any time. Rec Token transactions may be accounted for or facilitated by us or our designated third-party service providers. Once completed, Rec Token transactions are final and non-refundable, except as may be required by applicable law, or otherwise determined by us in our sole discretion. Rec Room Inc. reserves the right to reject any Rec Token transaction for Content or User Content, on behalf of itself or any user, and reserves the right to suspend or terminate any user account in the event of unauthorized or fraudulent charges or activity, whether suspected or actual.

As the recipient of Rec Tokens which you earn through user-to-user Rec Token transactions for access to your original User Content, you may, if and while eligible for the Creator Payment Program and subject to the Creator Payment Program Rules, be able to cash out certain amounts of such earned Rec Tokens for U.S. Dollars.

Content creators offering and distributing User Content are solely responsible for all matters arising from their User Content and related user-to-user Rec Token transactions, including promptly resolving in good faith any complaints or other matters arising from such User Content and such transactions. While Rec Room may charge service, transaction or other fees for our role in facilitating such user-to-user transactions within Rec Room, such transactions are strictly between the participating users.

Although we are not responsible for resolving disputes among users about user-to-user Rec Token transactions, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to intervene to attempt to mitigate or resolve such disputes. To the extent we choose to become involved in a dispute, you understand and agree that our decision, which may include reallocating, refunding, or crediting Rec Tokens from one user to another in our sole discretion, is final. In the event you are involved in any such dispute, you agree to work with us in a good faith and prompt manner to resolve the dispute.

CREATOR PAYMENT PROGRAM

Rec Room Inc., in its sole discretion, may allow creators of User Content to participate in the Creator Payment Program. Creators of User Content participating in this program may, subject to compliance with all eligibility requirements, program terms, these Terms, and the requirements of our third-party payment vendor, exchange Rec Tokens they have earned for U.S. Dollars, based upon an exchange ratio and other requirements, procedures, and limitations established by us in our sole discretion from time to time, including those set forth in the Creator Payment Program Rules, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms. Rec Tokens are "earned" when creators of original User Content receive them from another Rec Room user in exchange for access to such User Content or from Rec Room Inc as a reward in connection with a contest. Rec Tokens acquired in other ways (e.g., as part of a Rec Room Plus subscription or purchased directly from Rec Room) are not considered earned and may not be exchanged for U.S. Dollars.

Rec Room Inc., in its sole discretion, has the absolute right to manage, modify, suspend, revoke, and terminate the Creator Payment Program without notice, refund, compensation, or liability to any user, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law. Any actions or omissions in violation of law, these Terms, the Code of Conduct, the Creator Payment Program Rules, or any Rec Room policy, may result in the suspension or termination of a given user's access to the Creator Payment Program and void any pending transactions thereunder.

VIDEO PARTNER PROGRAM

Rec Room Inc., in its sole discretion, may allow users of Rec Room to participate in the Video Partner Program. Such users participating in this program may be able to earn certain revenue from the in-app purchases of other users of Rec Room who have chosen to support them, subject to compliance with these Terms, all program terms and eligibility requirements, and requirements of our third-party payment vendor, and other requirements, procedures, and limitations established by us in our sole discretion from time to time, including those set forth in the Video Partner Program rules, which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Rec Room Inc., in its sole discretion, has the absolute right to manage, modify, suspend, revoke, and terminate the Video Partner Program, without notice, refund, compensation, or liability to any user, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law. Any actions or omissions in violation of law, these Terms, the Code of Conduct, the Video Partner Program rules, or any Rec Room policy, may result in the suspension or termination of a given user's access to the Video Partner Program and void any revenue earned thereunder.

Resolving Disputes; Agreement to Arbitrate; Class Action & Jury Waiver

Please read this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It affects your legal rights. It provides for resolution of most disputes through individual arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. This section also contains a jury trial waiver and a waiver of any and all rights to proceed in class, collective, consolidated (other than any batching or mass arbitration procedures conducted by the arbitral forum), private attorney general, or representative action in arbitration or litigation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE & CLASS ACTION/JURY WAIVER

You and Rec Room Inc agree that any dispute, claim or controversy between you and Rec Room, including but not limited to any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the Services or Content (collectively, "Disputes"), whether such Disputes arose before, on, or subsequent to you entering these Terms, shall be exclusively resolved by individual, binding arbitration in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether these Terms are unconscionable or illusory, in whole or in part, and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver below, each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court seeking only individualized relief, so long as the action is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. In addition, (i) the parties each retain 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 (including anti-circumvention claims, or any other related statutory rights) (an "IP Equity Action") and (ii) Rec Room retains the right to bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of or relating to Your violation of the Prohibitions. You agree any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or related to (i) and (ii) will be governed by Washington law and controlling United States federal law, without regard to the choice or conflicts of law provisions of any jurisdiction to the contrary, and any such disputes, claims, or controversies shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and you consent to venue in, the state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington.

You acknowledge and agree that you and Rec Room are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated (other than any batching or mass arbitration procedures conducted by the arbitral forum), private attorney general, or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and Rec Room otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated (other than any batching or mass arbitration procedures conducted by the arbitral forum), or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that this Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and Rec Room shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Disputes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.

To the extent that any claims are allowed to proceed on a class, collective, consolidated (other than any batching or mass arbitration procedures conducted by the arbitral forum), or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in Seattle, Washington, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you or Rec Room may participate in a class-wide settlement.

If any court or arbitrator determines that this Arbitration Agreement is void or unenforceable for any reason as to Disputes arising before the date of posting of this Arbitration Agreement, then you may still be bound to previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement by reason of your separate agreement to those previous versions.

You agree that any arbitrations between you and Rec Room will be subject to this Arbitration Agreement and not to any prior arbitration agreement you had with Rec Room, and, notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you agree that this Arbitration Agreement amends any prior arbitration agreement you had with Rec Room, including with respect to claims that arose before this or any prior arbitration agreement.

Governing law. These Terms and all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms, and all claims, causes of action, controversies, or matters in dispute between you and Rec Room Inc—whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, regulation, or otherwise, and including but not limited to those arising out of or relating to this agreement—shall be governed by, construed, interpreted, and enforced in accordance with the substantive and procedural laws of the State of Washington, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of laws rules or provisions, whether of the State of Washington or any other jurisdiction, that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Washington. The parties exclude application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

OPT OUT PROCEDURES

To opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must send us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) by email at support@recroom.com within 30 days from the date that you first accessed the Services or Content (“Opt-Out Period”). The Opt-Out Notice must contain your full legal name, your complete mailing and email address, a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, and your signature. If your Opt-Out Period has passed, you are not eligible to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other provisions of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Additionally, if you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you may still be bound to previous versions of this Arbitration Agreement by reason of your separate agreement to those previous versions. In other words, opting out of this Arbitration Agreement shall have no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements you may enter into with Rec Room. As stated above, if you do not opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the Opt-Out Period, then you will be bound to the terms and conditions of this Arbitration Agreement which shall supersede and replace in its entirety all previous versions of Rec Room’s Arbitration Agreement. If you timely provide Rec Room with a valid Opt-Out Notice, all Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and you consent to venue in, the state and federal courts located in Seattle, Washington.

ARBITRATION RULES

All Disputes shall be submitted to JAMS for arbitration before one arbitrator in accordance with the applicable JAMS clauses, rules, and procedures (the "JAMS Rules") or the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable) then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

If 10 or more similar Demands for Arbitration are presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization, JAMS’ Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and Mass Arbitration Fee Schedule https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures (the “JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules”) shall apply.

It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and the JAMS Rules and JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable) shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and the JAMS Rules and JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable) are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of Washington.

ARBITRATION PROCEDURE AND GOVERNING LAW

Mandatory Pre-Arbitration Notice and Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure: You and we agree that good-faith, informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, cost-effective and mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, in the event of a Dispute, you and Rec Room each agree to send the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice of Dispute” or “Notice”). A Notice of Dispute from you to Rec Room must be emailed to legal@recroom.com (“Notice Address”). Any Notice of Dispute must include (i) the claimant’s full legal name, complete mailing address, and email address; (ii) a description of the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (iii) any relevant facts regarding claimant’s use of the Services or Content; and (iv) a personally signed statement from the claimant (and not their counsel) verifying the accuracy of the contents of the Notice. The Notice must be individualized, meaning it can concern only your dispute and no other person’s dispute. Rec Room will send any Notice of Dispute to you at the email address or mailing address it has for you, if any.

After receipt of a Notice of Dispute, the parties shall engage in a good faith effort to resolve the Dispute for a period of 60 days (which can be extended by agreement). You and we agree that, after receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the recipient may request an individualized telephone or video settlement conference (which can be held after the 60-day period) and both parties will attend (with counsel, if represented). You and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) shall work cooperatively to schedule the conference at the earliest mutually-convenient time and to seek to reach a resolution.

Compliance with this mandatory pre-arbitration Notice and informal dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statute of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution procedures set forth in this subsection. If any aspect of these requirements has not been met, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin the filing or stay the prosecution of an arbitration. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with these Procedures in arbitration.

Arbitration Location and Procedure: If the parties cannot resolve the Dispute through the above informal dispute resolution procedures, a party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the JAMS Rules or JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable).

If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the documents that you and Rec Room Inc submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the JAMS Rules or JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable). Any arbitration hearing will be conducted remotely by telephone or video conference to the extent possible, but if the arbitrator determines, or the parties agree, that a hearing should be conducted in person, the arbitration hearing will take place as close to your residence as practicable, or another agreed upon locale. Subject to the JAMS Rules or JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable), the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

At the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the JAMS Rules or JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable). The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. An arbitrator’s award that has been fully satisfied shall not be entered in any court. The arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable.

Your responsibility to pay any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the JAMS Rules or JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules (as applicable).

Confidentiality: The parties agree that the arbitrator is authorized to issue an order requiring that confidential information of either party disclosed during the arbitration (whether in documents or orally) may not be used or disclosed except in connection with the arbitration or a proceeding to enforce the arbitration award and that any permitted court filing of confidential information must be done under seal to the furthest extent permitted by law.

OPT-OUT OF FUTURE CHANGES TO THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Changes to Terms and Services" section above, if Rec Room makes any future material changes to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject any such change by sending an email to support@recroom.com within 30 days of the date of the posting of that change that provides (i) your full legal name, (ii) change(s) you are rejecting. This is not an opt out of arbitration altogether.

SEVERABILITY & SURVIVAL

If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement, or a portion thereof, is found to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, then that portion shall be deemed to be severable and, if possible, superseded by a valid, enforceable provision, or portion thereof, that matches the intent of the original provision, or portion thereof, as closely as possible. The remainder of this Arbitration Agreement shall continue to be enforceable and valid according to the terms contained herein.

This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of these Terms. Except as provided in the opt-out provisions above, the terms and conditions of this Arbitration Agreement shall supersede and replace any and all previous arbitration and class action/jury waiver agreements you may have entered into with Rec Room.

General Terms

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Rec Room Inc and you regarding the Services and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Rec Room Inc and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable (either by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to the terms of the "Arbitration" section above or by court of competent jurisdiction), that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Rec Room Inc's prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. Rec Room Inc may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Any notices or other communications provided by Rec Room Inc under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, may be given: (i) via email; (ii) by posting to the Services; or (iii) by certified mail. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted and for notices made by posting to the Services, the date is the date of the posting. Rec Room Inc's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Rec Room Inc. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
