e) By registering as a Member, you expressly relinquish the right to cancel these Terms or to any refund of monies you pay once you have started to use the Service to play a Game and the applicability and enforceability of these terms and conditions shall not be affected by any 'cooling-off' period once you have played a Game for prizes or money and you waive any applicable 'cooling off' period, except if the law requires a 'cooling off' period despite your waiver and even when a service starts right away.

Access to the Service may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain jurisdictions. You agree the Service cannot be held liable if laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit your participation.

4) Tournaments
a) The results of all Tournaments offered by the Service depend on the number of players participating and the skill of the players in such Tournaments.

b) The prize or money amount of all Tournaments will be disclosed at the outset of each tournament, except in progressive jackpot tournaments where the prize or money will be dependent upon the number of participants in the tournament. The indicated cash prize will be the total prize or money that will be distributed to the winning participants. A Tournament with a progressive jackpot tournament is open to as many players as wish to participate up to a certain time specified by us, and the prize or money associated with the tournament will increase as the number of participants admitted to the tournament increases.

c) Hooked will post a list of winners following each Tournament, where lists may be delayed for up to five (5) business days while verification of the results takes place in order to help prevent potential abuse.

d) The results and winners of each Tournament offered by the Service will be determined by Hooked, and such determinations are final. By registering and/or participating in any Tournament, you agree to be bound by these determinations.

e) If you or another player aborts a game, either purposefully or due to technical problems that cannot be attributed to Hooked, then the score of the game will be ZERO.

f) Hooked is not liable for any lost winnings or potential winnings, not even in the case of prematurely closed Tournaments.

5) Fees
a) You authorize Hooked to transact a fee of approximately 25% of the entry cost for using the Service to play a Game for prizes or money. ('Entry Cost' hereinafter defined as the sum of money wagers and bonuses, payments deposited by Hooked exclusively for use as Tournament entry fees, and other specialty payment methods that Hooked provided you.) The remaining percentage of the Entry Cost is paid to the winner of the Tournament played for prizes or money upon which the Entry Cost was placed. If sufficient funds are not available to participate in the Tournament for money, then you may not take part in the Tournament. The approximate fee of 25% may be modified at Hooked's sole discretion to account for an uneven number of Tournament Players and a total Entry Cost among all Players that is indivisible. For instance, the total entry fees for a Tournament are $101. Hooked may transact any approximate fee, including but not exclusive to $25, $25.25 or $26.

b) In compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, Hooked may send an IRS Form 1099 or other appropriate form to any person who wins in excess of $600 (USD) through the Service in any given year. However, you remain solely responsible for paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in your country, state and city of residence. Hooked does not withhold any taxes and you remain solely responsible for paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in your local, state, province, and/or country of residence

6) Transactions with Your Account
a) You can deposit money into your Account using a domestic bank transfer by transferring the money into the bank account specified by Hooked. Please be aware that you may only participate in Tournaments for prizes or money after Hooked has received your funds. If you choose to fund your Account using this option, you may also be required to submit a collateral security deposit along with the funds you deposit, which Hooked may use for commission, reimbursement of expenses, and/or compensation for damages.

b) Hooked may, but is not obligated to, accept payments via credit card, debit card, and/or other forms of payment. In the event you set up your Account with a debit card, you authorize Hooked to deduct the specified funds from the bank account linked to the debit card. In the event you set up your Account using a credit card, you agree that Hooked is not liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your credit card or other method of payment by a third party in connection with the Service. Hooked may accept other forms of payment at its sole discretion. Any attempt to defraud Hooked through the use of credit cards or other methods of payment, regardless of the outcome, or any failure by you to honor legitimate charges or requests for payment will result in immediate termination of your Account, forfeiture of any prizes and money to which you are otherwise entitled, and active pursuit of civil litigation and/or criminal prosecution by Hooked.

c) Hooked works with third parties to accept payments for the completion of offers to receive certain services as specified by the third party through third-party links to other websites. Hooked is not affiliated to the third party or the brands, advertisers and other partners they represent. Hooked is not responsible for any damages or disputes due to the use of the third party payment method and the submission of personal data to the third party. Any charges or obligations that you incur in participating with third party is your responsibility and at your own risk. Hooked makes no representation or warranty regarding the payments processed, content, goods and services provider by third party. If a dispute arises between you and third party in regards to a completion of offer or try of third party service related to Hooked or the Service, Hooked may attempt to resolve dispute between user and third party for the best interest of user and third party, but Hooked is not obligated to resolve dispute and in attempting to resolve dispute does not assume any liability.

d) Funds, entry fees, and processing fees are non-refundable once they have been credited to Hooked's bank account and deducted from your Account. Hooked, at its own discretion, may allow Players to participate in Tournaments before payment is received.

e) You authorize Hooked to deduct from your Account any additional charges for a monetary transaction, including, but not limited to, a denied payment (such as denied transfer, denied credit card payment) or increased bank processing fees. You agree to assume all costs that may be attributed you when funds credited to your Account (such as cancellation of a direct debit, insufficient funds, of incorrectly submitted account information) are reversed. Hooked will charge you the specific transactional fee for each denied payment.

f) Depending on the partner of the Service, you may make withdrawals from your Account, as long as the amount to be withdrawn is at least $10 (USD) and you have deposited at least $10 (USD) at any time into your Account. You authorize Hooked to deduct a minimum of $1 (USD) for each withdrawal with the deduction fee of $1 (USD) increasing with the size of the withdrawal. Once the transfer is complete, the debt shall be deemed satisfied and Hooked will have no further obligation. Bonuses, payments deposited by Hooked exclusively for use as Tournament entry fees, and other specialty payment methods that Hooked provides are only withdrawn by you on the express content of Hooked. In cases such as these, you will be notified that the corresponding funds cannot be withdrawn and can only be used to pay Tournament entry fees.

i) As of 4/16/2010, Player may make withdrawals as per the conditions of this agreement on third-party websites and Facebook. The conditions of withdrawal on MySpace are per the conditions as stated in the MySpace user agreement or terms of service. Hooked reserves the right to change term of withdrawals by partner upon 14 day notice through the Service to the Players.

g) Hooked shall not be obligated to verify the identity of the person requesting the withdrawal. In the event Hooked seeks verification for security reasons, Hooked is authorized to withhold funds until proof of identity can be confirmed. In cases such as these, the requesting party shall be obligated to participate by providing the forms of identification reasonably requested by Hooked.

h) Money winnings will be deposited directly into a winning Member's Account and will usually be available within sixty (60) minutes of a Tournament's conclusion. When a Tournament for money ends before its scheduled closing, the money winnings for the tournament will be reduced to reflect the number of participants in the Tournament when it closes.

i) Any winnings that are mistakenly credited to your Account remain the property of Hooked and will be automatically transferred from your Account upon the error being discovered. Any winnings mistakenly credited to your Account yet withdrawn by you constitute a debt owed by you to Hooked in the amount of such wrongfully attributed winnings.

j) Any bonuses that Hooked may give to you are not transferable and can only be used by you.

With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in  California State Court, County of San Francisco, and the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, federal court located in the State of California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the aforementioned state and federal courts located in California.

b) You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to Hooked are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Hooked and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that Hooked shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).

c) To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Terms ('Dispute'), you and Hooked agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to:

Hooked Media Group Inc.
720 Market Street, Suite 500
San Francisco CA 94108

d) Binding Arbitration. If you and Hooked are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or Hooked may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ('AAA') and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ('AAA Consumer Rules'), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Hooked will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Hooked may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

e) Restrictions. You and Hooked agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Hooked and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

f) Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Hooked agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Hooked's intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.

18) Waiver/Severability
a) The failure of Hooked to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Hooked's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.

b) You and Hooked agree that if any portion of these Terms, except any portion of section 17(e), is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect. If Section 17(e) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Hooked will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 17(e) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Delaware, United States of America, and you and Hooked agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
