AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO PLAYERS IN THE US AND CANADA.
For Players having problems with the Service, issues can be resolved on one of our player forums.
If you have any dispute against us, we suggest you first contact our customer support to get it resolved. In the event the dispute can’t be resolved through our customer support, you and Cimuga both agree to arbitrate according to the description below.
By voluntarily agreeing to these Terms (and in many of our Services by voluntarily clicking or tapping an in-game button to affirmatively indicate your agreement to these Terms), you and Cimuga both agree to the fullest extent permitted by law to resolve any claims arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Terms, Community Rules, your relationship with us, or Cimuga’s Services, including but not limited to your use of the Services and information you provide via the Services, through final and binding arbitration. This is applicable to all claims under legal theory unless the claim fits within the Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate identified below. This agreement to arbitrate also applies even after you stop using your Cimuga account or delete it.
An arbitration proceeding is before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury, so by voluntarily accepting these Terms, you and Cimuga both agree to give up the right to a trial before a judge and jury. Arbitrations have different rules from lawsuits in court. They are less formal than lawsuits in courts and provide limited opportunities to force the other side to share information relevant to the dispute—a process called discovery. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual, except as limited by these Terms. But, if any party does not like the arbitrator’s decision, the courts only have a limited ability to change the outcome of arbitration or make the arbitrator reconsider his or her decision.
If any party disagrees about whether this “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section” (or any portion of this section, including without limitation the provisions relating to arbitration, class action waiver, and opting out) can be enforced or whether it applies to the dispute, the parties all agree that a court will have sole authority to decide those issues.
If a court determines that any provision under the heading “No Class Actions” or “Related Claims” is not enforceable or valid, then the entire section (Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) will be null and void (i.e., go away). But the rest of the Terms and Community Rules will still apply.
In addition, if you or Cimuga brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated, or any party refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, any other party can ask a court to force the parties to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). You or Cimuga may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding (i.e., stay the court proceedings) while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.
The Arbitration Process
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will control any arbitration between you and Cimuga, and AAA’s then-current rules and procedures, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules, will be used. You can look at AAA’s rules and procedures on their website at www.adr.org. If something in these Terms is different from AAA’s rules and procedures, then the parties agree to follow these Terms instead.
To start an arbitration proceeding, use the form on AAA’s website (www.adr.org).
If you reside outside of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. If you reside in the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of California, United States of America. You and Cimuga further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Minneapolis, Minnesota 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.
Cimuga agrees that to initiate any arbitration claim against you with the AAA, Cimuga must include the following information in addition to what is required by the AAA: (1) identifying information linked to any and all your Cimuga accounts that it can identify (past or present), including Cimuga IDs, Facebook IDs, and email addresses and (2) a specific explanation of how Cimuga believes it was harmed by your conduct and the facts supporting its claim for monetary relief. You agree that to initiate any arbitration claim against Cimuga with the AAA, you must include the following information in addition to what is required by the AAA: (1) identifying information linked to any and all your Cimuga accounts that you can identify (past or present), including Cimuga IDs, Facebook IDs, and email addresses and (2) a specific explanation of how you believe you were harmed by Cimuga’s conduct and the facts supporting your claim for monetary relief.
You and Cimuga agree to appear (in person or remotely by telephone, video conference, or other live electronic communication) for any hearing unless you and Cimuga later agree otherwise.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator costs and expenses will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that if you demonstrate that any such costs and expenses owed by you under those rules would be prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding, Cimuga will pay the amount of any such costs and expenses that the arbitrator determines are necessary to prevent the arbitration from being prohibitively more expensive than a court proceeding (subject to reimbursement as set forth below). In the event that the arbitrator determines that all of the claims you assert in arbitration are frivolous according to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, you agree to reimburse Cimuga for all such cost and expenses that Cimuga paid and that you would have been obligated to pay under the AAA rules.
In the event that the AAA is unable to appoint an arbitrator to any claim brought by you or Cimuga, either party may apply to a state or federal court in San Francisco, California for appointment of an arbitrator. Any arbitrator appointed by a court shall conduct the arbitration in conformity with AAA rules and procedures (including those concerning costs and expenses), except where these Terms provide otherwise.
Related Claims
The parties agree that, in the event that multiple claims are filed with the AAA that arise from the same or substantially similar transactions, incidents, or events (“Related Claims”), those arbitration claims (whether brought against Cimuga or you) will be processed by the AAA individually, and in the order they are filed. The parties agree that AAA may not accept any Related Claim for arbitration, or charge any filing fees for a Related Claim, until any earlier-filed Related Claim(s) have been accepted for arbitration and an arbitrator appointed to the Related Claim(s). If multiple Related Claims are filed at the same time, the parties agree that the claims will be processed individually in an order to be determined by the AAA, and that AAA will not accept any such Related Claim for arbitration or charge any filing fees for such Related Claim, until an arbitrator has been appointed to any Related Claim(s) deemed to be prior in order.
In order to ensure the impartiality and independence required of an arbitrator under the AAA rules, the parties agree that an arbitrator may not be appointed to adjudicate a claim if the arbitrator is involved in any Related Claims.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate
The parties all agree that they will go to court to resolve disputes;
⦁ Relating to your, Cimuga’s intellectual property (for example, trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, or patents);
⦁ Relating to any violation of the Community Rules;
⦁ Where the sole form of relief sought is injunctive relief; or
⦁ Within the jurisdiction of small claims courts.
The parties agree not to pursue injunctive relief in arbitration, which must be sought in court. If a party has a dispute in which they seek to obtain both injunctive and other forms of relief, the party must go to court to seek injunctive relief and must arbitrate to seek other forms of relief.
For more information about which court the parties can go to for resolving these types of disputes, see Section “Venue for Legal Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration” below
No Class Actions
By voluntarily accepting these Terms (and in many of our Services by voluntarily clicking or tapping an in-game button to affirmatively indicate your agreement to these Terms), you and Cimuga both agree that the parties can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis.
That means:
⦁ The parties agree that neither you nor Cimuga can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action.
⦁ The parties agree that the arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s claim into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class, or representative arbitration proceeding (unless the parties all agree to change this).
⦁ The parties agree that the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other Cimuga players, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other players.
Opting out of the Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in this Section by sending us written notice of your decision to opt out through Customer Support or by physical mail as stated in Notices. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Services or availability of this opt-out, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes as set out in this Section. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Cimuga also will not be bound by them.
Changes to “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section”
We will give you 60-days’ notice by email or through the Services if we change this Section on our Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver. If this subsection on Changes to “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section” is found to not be enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section”, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.
Survival
This “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section” shall survive termination of these Terms.
APPLICABLE LAW
If you live in the United States, you agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act (including its procedural provisions) governs the interpretation and enforcement of “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section”. In addition, these Terms and our relationship will be governed by Minnesota law, except for its conflicts of laws principles.
If you live outside the United States, these Terms and our relationship will be governed by the United States law, except for its conflicts of laws principles.
VENUE FOR LEGAL DISPUTES NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION
If you live in the United States, judicial proceedings (excluding small claims actions) that are not covered in the “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section” must be brought in state or federal court in Minneapolis, Minnesota, unless the parties agree to a different location. You and Cimuga both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
If you live outside the United States, judicial proceedings must be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the state where you are resident (“Applicable Jurisdiction”), unless the parties both agree to a different location. You and Cimuga both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in the Applicable Jurisdiction.
SEPARATION OF TERMS
Each of the paragraphs of these Terms operates separately. Except as the “Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver Section” under the “No Class Actions” heading, if any part of these Terms or Community Rules is not enforceable, the rest of these Terms and Community Rules still apply and are binding, and any unenforceable term will be substituted with a term that comes as economically close to the unlawful or unenforceable term as possible.
ASSIGNMENT
We reserve the right to assign our rights and obligations under these Terms and Community Rules to a different party or entity at any time without your consent. Users are not allowed to assign their rights or obligations under these Terms and Community Rules to any party without obtaining prior written consent from Cimuga, any attempt to do so without our consent is void.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms, and any other policies or rules we reference in these Terms, make up the entire agreement between you and Cimuga relating to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter of these Terms, whether those prior understandings were electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us.
LANGUAGE OF THE TERMS
The translated version of this Terms and Community Rules are for informational use only. The translated version may not fully represent our position as it could mean something different from the English version. The English version remains the authentic version of these Terms.
NO WAIVER
Our non-enforcement of our rights under these Terms or Community Rules at any time does not mean we waived the right to do so in the future. And, if we do expressly waive a provision of these Terms or Community Rules, that does not mean we have waived it in perpetuity. If we do waive a default or breach by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default or breach by you.
NOTICES
Notices will be sent to your e-mail, or post a message on www.cimuga.com or within the Cimuga game you place or through other means of communication based on your contact information we have on file.
All notices from Users must be in writing and addressed to PO Box 242021 Apple Valley Minnesota 55124, unless we stipulate another specific means of sending us notices.
FORCE MAJEURE
Cimuga will be free of liability to Users where we are prevented from executing our obligations under these Terms in whole or in part due to force majeure, such as earthquake, typhoon, flood, fire, and war or any other unforeseen and uncontrollable event where we have communicated the circumstance of said event to Users and taken any and all appropriate action to mitigate said event.
REWARDS
Two rewards will be given for each month. ; to the “Highest Score” and “Most Total Score.” We reward first place players to the “Highest Score (“Mr./Ms. Big Grab”) per month and “Most Total Coins” earned (“Mr./Ms. Hip Hop Scramble”).
Rewards will be but not limited to e-gift cards, merchandise, and virtual gifts. Cimuga reserves the right to discontinue rewards given away at any time without notice.
TIE BREAKER
Ties will be rewarded for in-game rewards (coins, virtual gifts, etc.). For example, if three players tie for 1st, all three will receive first place in-game rewards. The following rank would be 4th, which would receive no prizes.
For monetary/physical goods versions of rewards:
The first player to achieve the checkpoint for the rewards gets first place. In the event two players tie for first place, the reward will be given to the player who achieved first place first. In the event two players tie for first place simultaneously, it’ll default to whoever has the most active account within the month based on our data.
Agreeing to these terms, the user gives Cimuga the right to mention, “@”, etc. for promotion purposes only regarding future contests.
