General Contest Terms
Each Contest will involve those Users in a given League compiling rosters consisting of a certain number of real-world professional athletes from a given Pro Sports League (each, a "Team"), as set forth in the applicable League Rules.

Leagues; Drafts; Teams: Each User may form a League and invite other Users to join that League and/or join an existing League. Upon joining, each User will have access to the applicable League's draft ("Draft") features (with some examples set forth below), which she/he can use to acquire players that play in the applicable Pro Sports League (collectively, "Players") and assign those Players to her/his Team. For all Contests that include a Draft, the Draft order for the Users will be selected as per the applicable League Rules, and the Draft will follow a "snake" model. Under the snake Draft, the order will proceed from 1 to 12 (or such other total number of Users that are participating in the applicable Draft), then 12 to 1 (as applicable), alternating until the Draft is complete. Each Player available for selection during the Draft may only be selected by one (1) User and reside on one (1) Team at a time. Each User must select enough players at the applicable positions to fill out her/his Team. The roster size for each Team in any given Contest will be predetermined and set forth in the applicable League Rules. Each User may have no more than one (1) Team per Contest.
Dynasty League Contests: "Dynasty League" Contests allow Users to keep Players on their respective Teams from one year's Contest to the next year's Contest in a League that continues from year to year. Other than permitting Teams to keep Players, which may shorten the length of the Drafts and limit the Players available to be Picked (as well as other "keeper" related rules), the Dynasty League Contests share the same rules and features of other Contests. Users may also be permitted to join an existing Dynasty League Contest by obtaining a Team that has been abandoned by a User who no longer wishes to participate in the subject Dynasty League Contest.
Lineup Changes; Free Agency; Game Day: For most Contests, Users shall be able to change their selected starting Players ("Lineup") up until the start of each applicable game day during the Contest. The start time of each game day within a given Contest ("Game Day Start Time") may be set forth in the applicable League Rules, and shall generally correspond to when the first official Pro Sports League (applicable to the Contest) game for that week is scheduled to commence. Depending on the League Rules, Users may be able to add Players that are not on any other User's Team during the applicable Contest Duration via "Free Agency." Depending on the League Rules, the waiver process may be open, or subject to a limited "Free Agent Budget" allotted to each Team. Where a League utilizes a Free Agent Budget, each Player selected in Free Agency will require the expenditure of a portion of the applicable User's Free Agent Budget. Regardless of which method is permitted, where adding a Player during Free Agency, Users shall be required to maintain compliance with any applicable Team-size limits by dropping a corresponding Player from that User's roster.
In addition to the foregoing, depending on the applicable League Rules, Users may be able to trade Players from one Team to another ("Trade") (either for an entire season or a limited number of game days), or offer Players to another team for a set duration in exchange for a certain portion of the borrowing Team's Free Agent Budget (each a "Loan"). For all of the aforementioned Trades and Loans, the Users proposing the Trade/Loan must first submit the terms of the applicable Trade/Loan to the other Users in the League in order to offer those other Users the ability to make alternative Trade/Loan offers.
TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, EDUCATION SPORTS COMMUNITY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DRAFT SELECTIONS, TRADE/LOAN OFFERS AND/OR LINEUP SELECTIONS/CHANGES THAT ARE LOST, LATE, ILLEGIBLE, MISDIRECTED, DAMAGED, INCOMPLETE OR INCORRECT, OR FOR YOUR FAILURE TO PARTICIPATE IN, OR COMPLETE, A SCHEDULED DRAFT. IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE OR ENTER A DRAFT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHERE YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE SITE AND/OR APP FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT CONTEST.
Points: Each User will earn Contest points based on the performance of the Players that are in her/his Lineup during the applicable Contest Duration ("Points"), as per the specific League scoring system, as set forth in the League Rules.
ALL DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POINTS WILL BE MADE IN EDUCATION SPORTS COMMUNITY'S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, AND WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON ALL PARTIES INVOLVED.
Tallying Points/Statistics: Education Sports Community will be responsible for tallying the Points for each Contest based on the reporting of Player performance, as compiled by Education Sports Community's third-party statistics providers and as provided by the applicable Pro Sports League during the applicable Contest Duration. Please be advised that during the Contests, Education Sports Community receives live scoring from its third-party statistics providers. Live scoring statistics that appear during a Contest are subject to change by the applicable Pro Sports League after the conclusion of the applicable game day. Please be advised that, in the event of a change to the statistics by a Pro Sports League after the conclusion of the applicable Game Day, the applicable Player's Points on the Site/in the App may be updated, and certain outcomes related to a given Contest may be revised. Please note that where a correction needs to be made after the conclusion of a Game Day due to a problem with the statistics feed, the Contest outcome may be reversed, and Contests resettled correctly.
ALL DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POINTS, PROJECTED POINTS AND WINNERS WILL BE MADE IN EDUCATION SPORTS COMMUNITY'S SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, AND WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON ALL PARTIES INVOLVED.
Disqualification and/or Cancellation of Contests: If for any reason a Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, or if a Contest, application, or service associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow for proper entry into a Contest in accordance with the Agreement or applicable Contest Rules, or if infection by a computer (or similar) virus, bug, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by Users, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of the Education Sports Community, corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a Contest, Education Sports Community reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the Contest.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration:
The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in New York, NY and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to conflict of law principles) and any proceeding arising in connection with the Agreement may only be brought under the statutes and common law of the State of New York. The parties (and Covered Parties) hereby agree to arbitrate all claims that may arise under and/or relate to the SwapSquad™ Offerings, the Agreement and/or any other aspect of the relationship between the parties (and Covered Parties). Without limiting the foregoing, should a dispute arise concerning the SwapSquad™ Offerings, the terms and conditions, the Agreement or the breach of same by any party hereto or any other aspect of the relationship between the parties (and Covered Parties), the parties/Covered Parties agree to adhere to the procedure set forth below..
Initial Dispute Resolution: Before proceeding to arbitration or any other dispute resolution forum, you agree to first commence a formal dispute proceeding by completing and submitting an Initial Dispute Notice which can be found Here. The parties shall use their best efforts to resolve and settle any dispute, claim, question, disagreement, and engage in good faith negotiations, which shall be a condition precedent to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. The Covered Party(ies) named in your Initial Dispute Notice (collectively, the "Named Parties") may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer after receiving your Initial Dispute Notice ("Final Settlement Offer"). If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days following submission of an Initial Dispute Notice, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below; provided, however, that first, you must provide Education Sports Community with proof that you accessed the Site or App and provided consent to the terms of the Agreement.
Arbitration Agreement and Procedures: Arbitration will be administered by JAMS, in accordance with the then-current General Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS, applying the substantive laws of the State of New York. Subject to the requirement to pursue settlement above, you submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before JAMS, in your county of residence, by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration, which is made available on the JAMS website located here. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, any part of it, or of the Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement or the Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. You agree that by entering into these Terms, you and Education Sports Community are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action; provided, however, that Education Sports Community reserves the right to require that any and all User claims be combined and conducted under the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines where there are seventy-five (75) or more arbitration demands pending against Education Sports Community that are similar to the demand for arbitration submitted by you. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. For claims of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions. If the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than the applicable Final Settlement Offer, then the applicable Named Party(ies) will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration and, if you retained an attorney to represent you in connection with the arbitration, the applicable Named Party(ies) will reimburse any reasonable attorneys' fees that your attorney accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Although the Named Parties may have a right to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses if they prevail in arbitration, the Named Parties will not seek such an award from you unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous.
Class Action Waiver: To the extent permitted by law, and other than where Education Sports Community requires same as set forth above, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against Education Sports Community, any Covered Party(ies), and/or their respective employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court costs that Education Sports Community and/or the applicable Named Party(ies) incur(s) in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (a) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above; and (b) is an independent agreement.
Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability: If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (c) titled "Class Action Waiver" above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.
30-Day Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the Arbitration Agreement and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending notice of your decision to opt-out to the following email address: info@swapsquad.io. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the date that you first register your account; otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of the Arbitration Agreement.
Statute of Limitations: You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the SwapSquad™ Offerings or the Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
Termination/Suspension
Education Sports Community may terminate or suspend your access to any or all parts of the SwapSquad™ Offerings, without prior notice or liability, if you breach the Agreement. Upon termination of your account, your rights to use the SwapSquad™ Offerings will cease immediately.

Nothing in the Agreement shall create or be deemed to create a partnership, agency, trust arrangement, fiduciary relationship or joint venture between the parties.

If a court of competent jurisdiction deems any provision of the Agreement invalid, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. The Agreement shall be binding on your successors, heirs, personal representatives, and permitted assigns. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under the Agreement without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. We may assign rights or delegate duties under the Agreement in our sole discretion. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
