All purchases through a Platform are subject to Platform rules governing refunds and returns. 

             5.1         Provision for All Web-Based Purchases

This Section 5.1 applies to all web-based purchases, including both through VIP Club Shop and Vegas Bucks Shop.

When making purchases through either shop, you are agreeing to purchase the Virtual Items or Subscription (as defined below), are requesting that that the purchased Virtual Items be supplied or the Subscription started immediately, and are authorizing a charge for those Virtual Items or Subscription at the price made known to you at the time of purchase. Virtual Item and Subscription prices and offerings may change at any time in our sole discretion and are not final until completion of the purchase. By initiating a purchase, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to you. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.

Residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland who make purchases through the VIP Club Shop or Vegas Bucks Shop may seek refunds for up to fourteen (14) days after purchase.  The refund request shall be valid only if none of the Virtual Items purchased in the relevant transaction have been used and only if the requesting User discontinues all play of the relevant Game from the purchase of the relevant Virtual Item until the refund request has been processed.  The refund request will be processed as expeditiously as reasonably possible.

Refunds are not permitted for residents of other jurisdictions

You agree to provide notice as provided in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 about any billing errors or discrepancies within 30 days from the date of your purchase. You are responsible for and agree to reimburse us for all reversals, charge-backs, claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability incurred by us (including costs and related expenses) that were caused by or arising out of payments that you authorized or accepted or that were authorized or accepted using your account or login information (even if not authorized by you). You understand that we may suspend or terminate your Bagelcode account if for any reason a charge that you authorized or that was authorized using your account or login information cannot be processed or is returned or unpaid, and if such event occurs, you shall immediately remit to us payment for such charge through a payment method reasonably acceptable to us. In the event your account or login information has been compromised, please notify us immediately and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to reverse any unauthorized charges. If the compromise results from our negligence or breach of these Terms, then we will reimburse you for any resulting loss, provided that you have timely notified us (as required by this paragraph) of the charge.

In the event of what we determine in our sole discretion to be fraudulent or suspicious purchases, or an excessive number of reversals, charge-backs or disputes, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to web-based purchase methods and to any Virtual Items purchased through those web-based purchase methods, in addition to any other rights and remedies we may possess under these Terms.

Bagelcode has no liability for hacking or loss of your Virtual Items. Bagelcode has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse you for any Virtual Items lost due to your violation of these Terms.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND BAGELCODE TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND BAGELCODE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.

21.1      Scope of Arbitration Provision
You and Bagelcode agree that any and all past, present and future dispute, claims, or causes of action arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, these Terms, or any other controversies or disputes between you and Bagelcode or any of Bagelcode’s affiliates, licensors, distributors, suppliers, service providers or agents, whether arising prior to or after you agreed to the Terms (collectively, “Dispute(s)”), shall be determined by arbitration, unless (A) your Country of Residence does not allow this arbitration agreement; (B) you opt out as provided in Section 21.4 below; or (C) your Dispute is subject to an exception to this agreement to arbitrate set forth in Section 21.8. You and Bagelcode further agree that, except solely as set out in Section 21.6 below, any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall not proceed as a class, group, mass or representative action.

Country of Residence” for purposes of this Section 21 means the country in which you hold citizenship or legal permanent residence, as well as any country from which you regularly access and use the Service.  If more than one country meets that definition for you, then your country of citizenship or legal permanent residence shall be your Country of Residence, and if you have more than one country of citizenship or legal permanent residence, it shall be the country with which you most closely are associated by permanent or most frequent residence.

21.2      Informal Dispute Resolution

Bagelcode wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against Bagelcode, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting contact@bagelcode.com. Similarly, Bagelcode will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you (if we have contact information for you) to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. If a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you or Bagelcode may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below.

21.3      We Both Agree to Arbitrate

By agreeing to these Terms, you and Bagelcode each and both agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein, except as set forth under “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate” below.

21.4      Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate

If you do not wish to be subject to this arbitration agreement, you may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending a written notice to contact@bagelcode.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms (or any version of these Terms that makes material changes to this Section 21 (“Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate on a Binding Individual Basis”)). You must date the written notice, and include your first and last name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Bagelcode through arbitration. If no written notice is submitted by the 30-day deadline, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except with regard to the exceptions set forth in 21.8 below. By opting out of the agreement to arbitrate, you will not be precluded from using the Bagelcode Service, but you and Bagelcode will not be permitted to invoke the mutual agreement to arbitrate to resolve Disputes under the terms otherwise provided herein. For avoidance of doubt, in the event you exercise your right to opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, those limitations and restrictions applicable to litigation that are set out in subsection 21.7 of this Section 21 shall continue to apply to you.

21.5      Arbitration Procedure and Fees.

21.5.1 If your Country of Residence is the United States:

(a)          This Section 21 “Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate on a Binding Individual Basis” shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in these Terms. .You and Bagelcode agree that JAMS (“JAMS”) will administer the arbitration under its Streamlined Rules in effect at the time arbitration is sought (“JAMS Rules”). Those rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules; provided that the parties shall be presented with a list of five potential arbitrators and 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). The arbitrator(s) shall be authorized to award any remedies, including injunctive relief, that would be available to you in an individual lawsuit and that are not waivable under applicable law. You and Bagelcode further agree that the arbitration will be held in New York, New York, or, if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically or via other remote electronic means. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.

(b)         Appeals.  You and Bagelcode agree that any award issued by an arbitrator pursuant to this Section 21(a) or 21.6 may be appealed in accordance with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedures at either party’s election.

21.5.2  If your Country of Residence is not the United States, you and Bagelcode agree that the arbitration will be administered in English by the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board and in accordance with the KCAB International Arbitration Rules (“KCAB Rules”). Those rules can be found at www.kcabinternational.or.kr. Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. Except as and to the extent otherwise may be required by law or in connection with a petition to confirm or enforce an arbitral award issued hereunder, the arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential. You and Bagelcode further agree that the arbitration will be held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, or, if you so elect, all proceedings can be conducted via videoconference, telephonically or via other remote electronic means. The KCAB Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees, or arbitration fees will be paid in accordance with the countervailing law of your Country of Residence if contrary to the KCAB Rules. 

21.6      Batch Arbitration for U.S. Arbitrations.

To increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 25 or more similar arbitration demands against Bagelcode (including its subsidiaries and affiliates), 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, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (“JAMS Mass Rules”)  shall apply.  In such event, the JAMS Process Administrator (as described in the JAMS Mass Rules) shall have the authority to implement the procedures set forth in the JAMS Mass Rules, including the authority to batch together individual arbitration demands into a single coordinated proceeding.  Arbitrators appointed in accordance with this Section 21.6 must be retired judges with experience arbitrating or mediating disputes. All provisions of this Section 21 that are not in conflict with the JAMS Mass Rules, including the appointment process for the arbitrators, shall continue to apply.

21.7      Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW (AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 21.6), NEITHER YOU NOR BAGELCODE SHALL BE ENTITLED: TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES; TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY GROUP, CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR MASS ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION; TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS; TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY; OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK RECOVERY OF LOSSES OR DAMAGES (WHETHER FOR YOURSELF OR OTHERS) INCURRED BY A THIRD PARTY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. ANY CHALLENGE TO THE VALIDITY OF THIS SECTION 21.7 SHALL BE DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE ARBITRATOR. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF CLAUSES 21.5.1(b), 21.6 OR 21.7 OF THIS CLAUSE 21 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS) ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE IN A PARTICULAR DISPUTE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (BUT NOT THOSE LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO LITIGATION THAT ARE SET OUT IN THIS SUBSECTION 21.7) MAY BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT FOR PURPOSES OF THAT DISPUTE, UPON EITHER PARTY’S ELECTION.

21.8      Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. 

Notwithstanding your and Bagelcode’s agreement to arbitrate Disputes, either you or Bagelcode retain the following rights:

21.8.1  If your Country of Residence is the United States, you and Bagelcode retain the right to bring a court action (A) to compel arbitration or to enforce, confirm or vacate an award issued hereunder, or (B) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. An action brought pursuant to this Section 21.8.1 may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

21.8.2  If your Country of Residence is not the United States, you and Bagelcode may assert claims, if they qualify, through the small claims process in the courts of your Country of Residence.  Further, as applicable, this Section 21 does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the consumer protection laws in your Country of Residence; you shall retain any such rights and this agreement to arbitrate shall be construed accordingly.

22.         GOVERNING LAW AND JUDICIAL FORUM FOR DISPUTES

Except to the extent preempted by the mandatory laws of your Country of Residence, the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to the principles of conflict or choice of laws, will govern these Terms and any Disputes. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or provided in Section 21, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found to be unenforceable or otherwise not to apply to you or your Dispute, you and Bagelcode agree that any judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Both you and Bagelcode consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.  

23.         SEVERABILITY

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 21, if any part of these Terms is determined by a court to be unenforceable or invalid, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
