(“we”, “our” or “us”) for our own purposes or on behalf of business and contracting parties (“Business Partners”) have established or may establish Programs in which individuals (“Participants”) accumulate points that, once collected, may be redeemed (“Rewards”). We provide access to the Program through networks, mobile devices, and mobile applications operated by us or any of our Business Partners. Additionally, we may offer any improvement, associated or ancillary services, features, content, or applications (collectively, the “Services”). These Terms of Use set forth the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Program and the Services.

You waive any right you may have to receive specific written notice of such changes or modifications, and your continued access to or participation in the Program following any such changes or modifications confirms your acceptance to these Rewards Rules.
6.3 The Program is one way in which we, our Business Partners, and our Business Partners’ sponsors (“Sponsors”) endeavor to reward and thank Participants for continuing to enjoy the Program and to participate in the Services. As further described below, the Program allows fans to engage in the game, incentivizing competition between Participants alongside the competition during sporting events as well continued engagement outside of sporting events. Participants are able to earn a certain number of points for specific types or frequency of engagement (“Points”) that can be redeemed for various products, discounts or other Rewards.
6.4 To earn Rewards, you must establish credentials as a Participant by setting up an Account on the Program site and participating in various activities that allow you to accumulate Points.

Check the promotional materials for specific restrictions applicable to a particular Loyalty Code.
6.9 Points have no cash value. You have no ownership interest in any Rewards. Use of the word "earn" or similar in marketing materials in relation to Rewards refers to collecting Points and does not infer that any Rewards have any value until redeemed. Points may not be purchased or sold and are not transferable. Occasionally errors may occur with respect to Points calculations. We reserve the right to correct such errors at any time even if it affects pending Rewards balance in your account.

14. Binding Arbitration
14.1 IMPORTANT: ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE YOU ARE:
(A) GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY;
(B) GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A COURT RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE;
(C) GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY; AND (D) GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY ARBITRATION OR LAWSUIT INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
14.2 Either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Program or Services shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.
14.3 The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14.4 The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling tel:1.800.352.5267. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorneys’ fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial and are waiving that right. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court but agree to be bound by the arbitration provisions herein.
14.5 If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
14.6 Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH OF OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
14.7 Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
15.1 These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, without regard to the application of its conflicts of law rules.
16. Modification
16.1 We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or replace any of these Terms of Use, or change, suspend, or discontinue the Program or Services (including without limitation, the availability of any feature, database, or content) at any time by posting a notice on the Program, Reward Rules or by updating these Terms of Use.
