3. Description of the app.
3.1 In General. The App offers players the opportunity to compete in a real-world car photographing and spotting competition, (“Contests”). Subject to the specific rules, time limits, and restriction of each Contest, players will have to take pictures of specific cars and submit them to complete a checklist. In general, players will earn more points for completeness, accuracy, and speed.
3.2 Games of Skill. Each Contest offered within the App is designed as a game of skill that rewards the top performing players with the highest score or scores. A “game of skill” is defined as a game where the outcome is determined predominantly by the skill, ability, knowledge, dexterity, or mental or physical adroitness of the player, rather than by pure chance or luck. Skills used in the determination of the winner in the Contest depend on the specific nature of the Contest, and include dexterity, hand-eye coordination, strategy, logic, speed, game mechanics knowledge, car industry knowledge, and geographic knowledge (where applicable). Each player is presented with identical playing conditions at the start of the game or contest, meaning that comparative skill is the sole determining factor.
3.3 Contest Types and Description.
(a) Each Contest offered via the Services will include a description that sets forth (i) the requirements and other rules for participation in the Contest, if any (ii) the prize amount in the form of a digital gift card, or other representative of value (including but not limited to digital trophies or virtual goods) that may be won from the Contest (the “Prizes”) and (iii) the rank amongst all Contest participants that you must achieve to receive any Prizes.
(b) Private Games are those that users can create with their own rules, terms, prizes, and invite specific participants.
(c) Sponsored Games are those that offer free entry and sponsored prizes. The sponsor and the Company will determine the particular rules, terms, prizes, and other variables of the Contest.
(d) Real-Money Contests will have an entry fee and also feature an ability to purchase “bonus strikes,” which will function as “wildcards” to help players complete the specific car list.
3.4 No Purchase Necessary to Register or Participate. There is no fee to register for an Account. Private and Sponsored Contests do not require an entry fee and may be played entirely for free and without consideration. The real-money skill-based competitions are entirely optional and available only to persons 18 year of age and older, who reside in a jurisdiction that does not restrict, prohibit, or otherwise regulate real-money games of skill.
3.5 Changes and Updates. We reserve the right to make changes, updates, or discontinue the App (or any part or content thereof) at any time, with or without prior notice to you. We will not be held liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App. We may also impose limitations on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the App without notice or liability. It is your responsibility to check for and install updates to the App. We may release updates to improve functionality or enhance features. Some updates may be mandatory, and you must install them to continue using the App. We are not responsible for any issues arising from your failure to install required updates.

While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the Contests and Prizes, we are unable warrant that the descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a Contest or Prize itself is not as described on the Services, your sole remedy is to contact us to request a correction of your Account. The inclusion of any Contests for entry or Prizes to be won through participation in the Contests at a particular time does not imply or warrant future availability.
4.3 Confirmation of Submissions. During a Contest, a User will submit User created photos to upload on the App. We have sole and absolute discretion of whether to accept a car photo submitted by a User and to determine whether the photo provided is actual and genuine and provided solely through the efforts of the User. Only upon our confirmation and acceptance of User photos provided, and subject to the terms of any Contest, will a Prize be awarded to a User.
4.4 Prizes and Distribution of Prizes. Prizes will typically be in the form of digital gift cards unless the terms of the Contest provide otherwise. If you are eligible to receive a Prize, we may require that you provide proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation in the applicable Contest, eligible to participate in accordance with the Contest description and these Terms, and that your participation was in accordance therewith. If you do not provide such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, you may forfeit the Prize. We retain sole, absolute, and non-appealable discretion to determine the winner of each Contest. By participating in any Contest, you agree to be bound by our final decision, including and up to disqualification, forfeiture of prize funds, or any other remedy available under these Terms and under the law.

If you fail to complete and return the IRS Form W-9 when required, we may suspend or terminate your Account or access to the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we may withhold from your existing account balance and/or delay deposit of any Prize amount into your bank account. We may withhold any amount required to be withheld by applicable laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation. You are solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes related to your Prizes in accordance with all applicable laws.

(b) Players in the United States: You understand that various rules, regulations and laws addressing sweepstakes, contests, and tournaments with entry fees and/or prizes of value may apply to your participation in Contests (“Gaming Laws”), and that the U.S. federal government and each U.S. state, territory, or jurisdiction may have their own Gaming Laws that are subject to change. From time to time, we may prohibit access to the Services from certain jurisdictions via geo-location or other methods (“Prohibited Jurisdiction”). If you are located in any Prohibited Jurisdiction, you may not use our App and any attempt to do so is a violation of these Terms. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to determine the laws of your state, jurisdiction, or territory as it relates to use of our Services. We reserve the right to monitor the location from which you access the Services to ensure compliance with these terms, and to block your access to the Services from any Prohibited Jurisdiction. In addition to Gaming Laws, you are also subject to all municipal, state and federal laws, rules and regulations of the city, state, or other jurisdiction in which you reside and from which you access the Services. You are solely responsible for your compliance with all applicable laws and your failure to do so is a violation of these Terms. The Services, including the Contests, are void where prohibited or restricted by applicable laws. The Company Entities take no responsibility and assume no liability if applicable laws restrict or prohibit your access to or participation in any Contests.
(c) Players outside the United States: You understand that your country, province, state, territory, or other local jurisdiction may have various rules, regulations, and laws related to the Contests (“Applicable Laws”). You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with Applicable Laws and it is also your responsibility to determine which Applicable Laws apply to your particular actions. Your access to the Contests and participation in such contests is at your own risk. By accessing our Services and participating in the Contests (or attempting to do so), you agree that you will not hold us responsible if the Applicable laws restrict or prohibit your activities.
(d) WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE LAWFULNESS OF YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY CONTEST OFFERED VIA THE SERVICES.
9.2 Limitations of Liability. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY ENTITIES BE LIABLE (A) FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOSS OF USE, DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, SYSTEM FAILURE, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES), HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER UNDER THESE TERMS OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF THE COMPANY ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, OR (B) FOR ANY OTHER CLAIM, DEMAND, OR DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE DELIVERY, USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS, OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. THE COMPANY ENTITIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES FINALLY AWARDED SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000), OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID THE COMPANY ENTITIES, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX (6) MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES (OR OFFERINGS PURCHASED ON THE SERVICES) GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE-STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND YOU.
IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS OR ARBITRATION BEFORE PURSUING ANY LEGAL CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY ENTITIES. THIS CAN HELP MANAGE AND POTENTIALLY REDUCE LEGAL COSTS AND LIABILITIES.
9.3 Limitation of Liability as to Prizes. By participating in a Contest and achieving a sufficiently high score relative to other players, you may win a Prize. Each Prize may be subject to its own specific set of terms and conditions or addenda that supplement and govern your acceptance of such Prize. By accepting such Prize, you agree to be bound by these Terms (including but not limited to the liability limitations, warranty disclaimers, indemnification provisions, mandatory arbitration, and class action waivers) as well as any additional terms and conditions contained in such supplemental terms and conditions and addenda.
Scope of Liability: Our liability concerning any Prize is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your acceptance or use of the Prize.
Conditions for Prize Acceptance: Before receiving a Prize, you may be required to expressly accept and acknowledge additional terms applicable to that specific Prize. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in forfeiture of the Prize.
Third-Party Involvement: Any promotion or discount offered as a Prize is at the discretion of and subject to the terms of the company offering such promotion or discount. We are not liable for any actions or omissions of third parties involved in providing the Prize.
Prize Availability: The availability of Prizes is subject to change and may be limited. We do not guarantee the availability of any specific Prize at any given time.
User Responsibility: It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable terms and conditions related to the Prize. We reserve the right to disqualify any participant who violates these terms or engages in fraudulent activity. These enhancements ensure that the clause is comprehensive, clear, and provides adequate protection for the company while informing users of their responsibilities and the limitations of liability.
9.3 Indemnification. By entering into these Terms and accessing or using the Services, you agree that you shall defend, indemnify and hold the Company Entities harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by the Company Entities arising out of or in connection with: (a) your violation or breach of any term of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation, including your participation in any Contests in violation of Gaming Laws, (b) your violation of any rights of any third party, (c) your misuse of the Services, (d) your negligence or wilful misconduct. If you are obligated to indemnify any Company Entity hereunder, then you agree that Company (or, at its discretion, the applicable Company Entity) will have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether Company wishes to settle, and if so, on what terms, and you agree to fully cooperate with Company in the defense or settlement of such claim.
10. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
10.1 PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
This Section does not apply if you are (i) a resident of the EEA, or any jurisdiction which does not allow these arbitration provisions; (ii) if you opt out of arbitration as provided in this section, or (iii) qualify for the exceptions provided below.
10.2 Informal Process First. You and the Company agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Company Entities, either party will first contact the other party and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action, after first allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Both you and the Company agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.
10.3 Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to the Company Entities including the Services, the Prizes, and any use or access or lack of access thereto, will be resolved by binding arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Because your contract with the Company, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and the Company are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
10.4 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Company agree that the following types of disputes will be resolved in a court of proper jurisdiction:
(a) disputes or claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual dispute and not as a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding;
(b) disputes or claims where the sole form of relief sought is injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief); or
(c) intellectual property disputes.
10.5 Costs of Arbitration. Each party is responsible for its own costs and expenses related to arbitration and the Claim, except that fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules.
Opt-Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to __________ or to the U.S. mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to the Company within thirty (30) days of your first registering to use or use of the Services or agreeing to these Terms; otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes on a non-class basis in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of only the arbitration provisions, and not also the class action waiver, the class action waiver still applies. You may not opt out of only the class action waiver and not the arbitration provisions. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.
10.6 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Company each agree that any proceeding to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy will be brought and conducted ONLY IN THE RESPECTIVE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS (OR PURPORTED CLASS), CONSOLIDATED, MULTIPLE-PLAINTIFF, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION”). You and the Company AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION. You and the Company EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM. If the dispute is subject to arbitration, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COMBINE OR AGGREGATE CLAIMS, CONDUCT A CLASS ACTION, OR MAKE AN AWARD TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. Further, you and the Company agree that the ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND IT MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS ACTION. For the avoidance of doubt, however, you can seek public injunctive relief to the extent authorized by law and consistent with the Exceptions clause above.
IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED, OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, UNLESS THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING SO LONG AS THE PROCEEDING IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or consolidated or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
11. Additional Provisions
11.1 SMS Messaging and Phone Calls. Certain portions of the Services may allow us to contact you via telephone or text messages. You agree that the Company may contact you via telephone or text messages (including by an automatic telephone dialing system) at any of the phone numbers provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your use of the Services, including for marketing purposes. You understand that you are not required to provide this consent as a condition of using the App. You also understand that you may opt out of receiving text messages from us at any time, either by texting the word “STOP” to the sender using the mobile device that is receiving the messages, or by contacting______________. If you do not choose to opt out, we may contact you as outlined in our Privacy Policy.
11.2 Updating These Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time in which case we will update the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms. If we make changes that are material, we will use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, such as by e-mail and/or by placing a prominent notice on the first page of the Website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to view any such changes. The updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms. Your continued access or use of the Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your acceptance of the modified Terms. No amendment shall apply to a dispute for which an arbitration has been initiated prior to the change in Terms.
11.3 Termination of License and Your Account. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by the Company terminate immediately and automatically. Additionally, the Company may suspend, disable, or delete your Account and/or the Services (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason and without any obligation or liability to you. If the Company deletes your Account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name and any Prizes, and amounts in your account may be forfeited. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by the Company or you. Termination will not limit any of the Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
11.4 Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.
11.5 California Residents. If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
11.6 Export Laws. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Services and/or other information or materials provided by the Company hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable United States export laws and regulations.
11.7 Force Majeure. Neither the Company, any user, nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Services or Content shall be liable with respect to any damages, injuries, nonperformance or delay in performance by reason of any act of God, weather, fire, flood, acts of terror or foreign enemy, satellite or network failure, governmental order or regulation, trade dispute, or any other cause beyond its respective control.
11.8 Governing Law and Exclusive Venue. To the extent that these Terms allow you or us to initiate litigation in a court, other than for small claims court actions, both you and the Company agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the state and federal courts located in the State of Michigan. Each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. These Terms and your use of the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules. If you are resident in a member state of the EEA or a country in which this clause is prohibited by local law, this section does not apply to you, and does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the consumer protection laws in your country. You and the Company agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms. The Services are operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
11.9 Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
