1.3. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the PulszBingo Policies, the Terms shall control.
2.1. Virtual Coins. The Service includes a License (defined below) granted to You to use virtual, in-game tokens to play all Games on the Site, including, but not limited to, chips, coins, credits, or points (collectively, “Virtual Coins”), that may be provided for use on the Site. No matter the reference or format of the Games, Virtual Coins are non-transferrable and may be used subject to this License only. With the exception of “no purchase necessary” promotional contests or giveaways, there is no opportunity for a User on the Site to win real-money or any prize while playing the Games, regardless of whether any purchase was made at any point by the User.
2.2. The License. Subject to Your agreement and continuing compliance with these Terms, we grant You a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, license to access and use the Service, Games and Virtual Coins solely for Your personal, private entertainment on the Site and for no other reason (the “License”). Other than this limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable License to use the Virtual Coins within the Site, You have no right or title in or to any such Virtual Coins appearing or originating within the Site, or any other attributes associated with use of the Service or stored within the Site. You acknowledge and agree that Your License to use the Site is limited by these Terms and if You do not agree to, or act in contravention of, these Terms, Your License to use the Site may be immediately terminated. We have the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Virtual Coins as We see fit in Our sole discretion to the extent legally permissible, and We shall have no liability to You or anyone for the exercise of such rights.
2.3. No Right to Sell or Assign. The transfer or sale of Virtual Coins by You to any other person is strictly prohibited. You may NOT sell or assign Your User Account to any other person under any circumstances. Any attempt to do so is in violation of these Terms, will result in closure and forfeiture of the User Account, and may result in a lifetime ban from the Site and possible legal action.
2.4. No Purchase Required. No purchase is required to set up a User Account or play Games. The Site is committed to at all times providing additional access to Virtual Coins or otherwise to free-to-play Games to Users who deplete their balance of Virtual Coins. While it is never required to make any purchase in order to play the Games, Users may, subject to the License, increase the number of certain Virtual Coins they may access for licensed use on the Platform only, increase the variety of available Games, and remove advertisements by making a purchase. You understand and agree that any purchases are final and that We are not required to provide a refund for any reason. Virtual Coins are non-transferrable, and carry no cash value. All Virtual Coins under this License are forfeited if Your User Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion or if the Services are no longer available. To the extent legally permissible, if Your User Account, or a particular subscription for the Service associated with Your User Account, is terminated, suspended and/or if any Virtual Coins are selectively removed or revoked by Us from Your User Account, no refund will be granted, and no Virtual Coins will be credited to You or converted to cash or other forms of reimbursement.

INITIATING ARBITRATION UNDER JAMS RULES
16.10. Following the conclusion of the initial dispute resolution process required by Section 15, you or PulszBingo may seek arbitration of a Dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. You and PulszBingo agree that JAMS (“JAMS”) will administer the arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in effect at the time arbitration is sought (“JAMS Rules”). The parties further agree that, to the extent applicable, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply. The JAMS Rules referenced above are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/.
You and PulszBingo further agree:
16.10.1. Unless otherwise determined by JAMS or agreed by the parties, the Arbitration will proceed on a single and individual claim basis.
16.10.2. The arbitration will be handled on the merits by a sole arbitrator. The parties agree that any JAMS arbitrator appointed, including merits and process arbitrators, must have the following minimum qualification: practicing attorneys or retired federal court judges who have at least ten years of substantive expertise in litigating and resolving of complex business disputes, including motions to compel arbitration and litigation or adjudication regarding whether disputes are arbitrable;
16.10.3. For purpose of Sections 16.1 and 16.2 of the JAMS Rules, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures and JAMS Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless otherwise explicitly agreed to by all parties to the Dispute;
16.10.4. In lieu of JAMS Rule 15, the parties shall be presented with a list of eight (8) potential arbitrators, be allowed three (3) strikes and the parties shall rank those potential arbitrators in order of preference. JAMS shall select the arbitrator with the highest combined preference (e.g., if both parties select a potential arbitrator as their top preference, that arbitrator will be selected). To the extent a process arbitrator is appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules, the selection process shall also be as prescribed in this paragraph;
16.10.5. In lieu of JAMS Rule 18, the parties shall have the right to submit a dispositive motion at the outset of the arbitration to the Arbitrator in order to resolve issues other than the ultimate issue of fact. The submission and scheduling of such motions shall be addressed at a conference held before the JAMS arbitrator, and the Parties agree that any dispositive motions shall be resolved and the remainder of the arbitral proceeding stayed pending resolution, absent good cause and immediate necessity to proceed.
16.10.6. Unless and only to the extent prohibited under JAMS Rules, the arbitration will be commenced in Wilmington, Delaware. Hearings shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware, or, at either your or our election, may be conducted telephonically or via other remote electronic means;
16.10.7. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees, currently available at https://www.jamsadr.com/arbitration-fees, You will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 in connection with any arbitration initiated under this Section 16, but You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees;
16.10.8. Except as otherwise waived or limited under the Terms or this Agreement, the JAMS arbitrator shall be authorized to award any remedies, including equitable or injunctive relief, that would be available in an individual lawsuit except:
16.10.9. The arbitration decision and award shall consist of a written statement signed by the Arbitrator regarding the disposition of each claim and the relief, if any, as to each claim. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the award shall be a reasoned award and contain a concise written statement of the reasons for the award;
16.10.10. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law, the arbitration proceeding, pleadings, and any award shall be treated as confidential and shall not be used by the parties except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its confirmation and enforcement.
16.10.11. In the event JAMS is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute in accordance with this Agreement, the parties shall agree to, or a court shall select, another arbitration provider subject to the procedural agreements of this Section 16; and
16.10.12. You and PulszBingo agree that any award issued by the Arbitrator in excess of $50,000 in favor of either party, or any award which grants any form of declaratory or equitable relief that would significantly impact other PulszBingo users or the operation of the Site, may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures at either party’s election. The JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/.
16.11. Batch Arbitration/Mediation. To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 20 or more similar arbitration demands against PulszBingo, presented by or with the assistance of the same law firm or organization or group of law firms or organizations working in coordination, are submitted to JAMS in accordance with the rules described above within a 60-day period, JAMS shall consolidate those arbitrations as contemplated in the JAMS Mass Arbitration Rules. Following the submission, initial presentation and resolution of briefing and motion practice contemplated in Section 16.10.5 on dispositive issues other than the ultimate issue of fact, to the extent claims and issues remain pending, JAMS shall group the arbitration demands into a first batch of no more than 25 demands to be set for resolution as a single arbitration. Once resolution of the first batch has concluded (or sooner if the parties agree), counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation before a JAMS mediator of all remaining demands from claimants. Counsel for the parties must agree on a mediator within thirty (30) days after conclusion of the first batch. If the parties cannot agree on a JAMS mediator within 30 days, JAMS will appoint a JAMS mediator as an administrative matter. All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed. If the parties are unable to resolve their demands by mediation, JAMS shall continue to batch the remaining arbitration demands into batches of no more than 100 demands per batch (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining demands) for administration. A single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and one arbitrator will be assigned per batch. For avoidance of doubt, consolidation does not require that all arbitrations in a single batch be decided the same, nor does it impair your right to present any evidence or argument that you think particular to your case, so long as it is consistent with JAMS Rules. You agree to cooperate in good faith with PulszBingo and JAMS to implement such a batch approach to resolution and fees and to efficiently consolidate discovery, submission of evidence, and motion practice.
16.12. Certification. By signing a demand for arbitration, a party certifies, to the best of their knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (i) the demand for arbitration is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (ii) the claims and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; (iii) the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery; and (iv) that any counsel indicated to represent a party has been duly engaged by said party under a signed engagement agreement and expressly authorized to commence the arbitration on behalf of the party. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to afford any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, any applicable state law (including attorney’s fees) and the JAMS rules for either party’s violation of this Certification requirement.
