RP owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to use all of the content that appears in the Services. These Terms do not grant you or any other party any right, title or interest in the Services or any content in the Services.

So long as you abide by these Terms and any other rules, including the Community Rules, RP grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable limited license subject to the limitations in these Terms, to access and use the Services using a RP supported web browser or mobile device solely for your own non-commercial entertainment purposes. You agree not to use the Services for any other purpose.

In addition, you may be breaking the law, including violations of RP Affiliates’ intellectual property rights. ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU TO DISRUPT OR INTERFERE WITH THE SERVICES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION UNDERMINING OR MANIPULATING THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY RP GAME IS A VIOLATION OF RP POLICY AND MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS.

Your Account and Virtual Items:

Regardless of what anything else says in these Terms, the Community Rules, or any other Feature Terms that apply to features you may choose to use, you do not own the Account that you create on our Services, including in Our games, and your Account is not your property. This also applies to other stuff, like in-game currency or items, regardless of whether you “earned” those items in a game or “purchased” them. Your account and any related items are owned by RP. RP gives you a limited license to use your account and the related items while We offer the Services

WE MAY DELETE OR TERMINATE ACCOUNTS THAT ARE INACTIVE (I.E., NOT LOGGED INTO) FOR 180 DAYS.

IF YOU WANT US TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU CAN GO TO HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE THAT REQUEST.

You are not allowed to transfer Virtual Items outside of the Services (i.e., in the “real world”), for example by selling, gifting, or trading them. We won’t recognize those transfers as legitimate. You are not allowed to sublicense, trade, sell or attempt to sell in-game Virtual Items for "real" money, or exchange Virtual Items for value of any kind outside of a game. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and We may terminate your Account because of it.

User Content:

If you transmit or upload User Content on the Services, you agree that it will be:

accurate;
not confidential;
not in violation of the law;
not in violation of contractual restrictions or other parties’ rights, and that you have permission from any other party whose personal or other information or intellectual property is contained within the User Content;
free of viruses, adware, spyware, worms or other malicious code;
in compliance with the RP Community Rules.

Your User Content will be processed by RP in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

You own your User Content, but you give RP a perpetual and irrevocable (other than as provided below), worldwide, fully paid-up and royalty free, non-exclusive, license to use your User Content and any modified and derivative works thereof in connection with the Services, including in marketing and promotions. To the extent allowed by applicable laws, you waive any moral rights you may have in any User Content (like the right to be identified as the author of the User Content or the right to object to a certain use of that User Content).

If you request deletion of your User Content we will take reasonable steps to remove your User Content from active use, which may include suppression of your User Content in our systems. However, User Content may persist in our systems, including back-up copies. We may also retain copies of User Content if we are legally required to do so.

When you post your observations and comments on the Services such as in forums, blogs and chat features, We cannot guarantee that other players will not use the ideas and information that you share. If you have an idea or information that you would like to keep confidential and/or don’t want others to use, don’t post it. RP IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER PERSON’S USE OR APPROPRIATION OF ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION YOU POST IN ANY FORUMS, BLOGS AND CHAT ROOMS.

7. MONITORING USE OF SERVICES AND USER CONTENT

We have no obligation to monitor User Content and We are not responsible for monitoring the Services for inappropriate or illegal User Content or conduct by other players. That said, We have the right, in our sole discretion, to edit, refuse to post, or remove any User Content.

We may also, at our discretion, choose to monitor and/or record your interaction with the Services or your communications with RP or other players (including without limitation chat text and voice communications) when you are using the Services.

We are not responsible for information, materials, products or services provided by other players (for instance, in their profiles). However, if someone is violating these Terms or misusing the Services, please contact Us at Customer Support via email at support@ryansplay.com (link sends e-mail).

8. YOUR DEALINGS WITH OTHER PLAYERS

You are responsible for your interactions with other players. If you have a problem with another player, We are not required to get involved, but We can if We desire.

If you have a dispute with another player, you release RP and its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, and employees, and all RP Affiliates from responsibility, claims, demands and/or damages (actual or consequential) of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, resulting from that dispute or connected to that dispute. This includes damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use or data.

If you live in California, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

9. PAYMENT TERMS

Currently, all paid Services are purchased through platforms such as Facebook, Apple iOS, or Android, and will be subject to those platforms’ payment terms and conditions. RP does not control how you can pay on those platforms. Please review those platforms’ terms of service for additional information.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL:

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT RP IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON.

You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. RP may revise the pricing for the goods and services it licenses to you through the Services at any time.

10. PROMOTIONS AND OFFERS

In addition, from time to time, We may promote Offers. We are not required to give, and players are not required to accept, any Offer. Offers are not transferable, redeemable or exchangeable for other things of value, except at our sole discretion. If you accept any Offer, you may have to sign a declaration of eligibility and liability release, or sign other paperwork in order to get the Offer. Some Offers will be subject to taxes and other charges, travel, or activities outside of the virtual world, all of which will be disclosed before You accept the offer. If you accept an Offer you also assume all liability associated with the Offer.

THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING

Our Services and our games may feature advertisements from Us or other companies. Our Privacy Policy explains what information We share with advertisers. Please read it. Sometimes We provide links in Our games or on the Services to other companies’ websites or to companies who invite you to participate in a promotional offer and offer you some feature of the Services or upgrade (such as in-game currency) in exchange. Any charges or obligations you take on in dealing with these other companies are your responsibility.

We make no representation or promises about any content, goods or services these other companies provide, even if linked to or from Our Services or games. Also, just because We allow a link to be included in Our games or Services does not mean We endorse that linked site. We are not liable for any claim relating to any content, goods and/or services of third parties.

Please also note that the linked sites are not under our control and may collect data or ask you to provide them with your personal or other information, or they may automatically collect information from you. When you use other companies’ services like these, the other company’s service may (or may not) ask you for permission to access your information and content. We are not responsible for these other companies’ content, business practices or privacy policies, or for how they collect, use or share the information they get from you. Your relationship with that other company will control how it can use, store, and share your information.

12. COPYRIGHT NOTICES/COMPLAINTS

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask that you should, too. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and similar or equivalent local laws that may apply. For more information, please go to the RP Copyright Page. We reserve the right to terminate any player's access to the Services if We determine that the player is a "repeat infringer." We do not have to notify the player before We do this. We also accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures copyright owners use to protect their materials.

13. FEEDBACK AND Unsolicited Ideas

Sometimes, We may request your feedback on certain features through a promotion or our customer insights program. Any feedback you provide at Our request through a promotion or program is subject to the rules of the specific promotion or program.

Any idea, information or feedback you submit to us without Our specific request is subject to Our Unsolicited Ideas Policy.

14. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER; SERVICES AVAILABLE ON AN “AS IS” BASIS

Neither RP nor any RP Affiliate makes any promise or guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.

USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RP AND ANY RP AFFILIATE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR OTHER TERMS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THE SERVICES. RP AND ANY RP AFFILIATE DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS OR OTHER TERMS OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

If your state or country does not allow these disclaimers, they do not apply to you. If your state or country requires a certain period for which a warranty applies, it will be either the shorter of 30 days from your first use of the Services or the shortest period required by law.

15. LIMITATIONS; WAIVERS OF LIABILITY

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE WE AND RP AFFILIATES ARE NOT LIABLE:

(1) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA, IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES; OR

(2) FOR THE CONDUCT OF THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES AND OPERATORS OF EXTERNAL SITES.

THE RISK OF USING THE SERVICES AND EXTERNAL SITES RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU AS DOES THE RISK OF INJURY FROM THE SERVICES AND EXTERNAL SITES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY ANY LAW THAT APPLIES, THE DISCLAIMERS OF LIABILITY IN THESE TERMS APPLY TO ALL DAMAGES OR INJURY CAUSED BY THE SERVICES, OR RELATED TO USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION IN ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ACTIONS FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE).

IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID RP OR ANY RP AFFILIATE ANY AMOUNT IN THE SIXTY DAYS (60) DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT ANY SUCH CLAIM, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH RP AND/OR ANY RP AFFILIATE IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICES AND TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.

Some states or countries do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitations/exclusions of liability described above. So these limitations/exclusions may not apply to you if you reside in one of those states or countries.

16. INDEMNITY

If you use or misuse the Services, or if you violate these Terms or any other applicable rules, including the Community Rules or Feature Terms, and that results in loss or damage or in a claim or liability against RP or any RP Affiliate, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless RP and/or the RP Affiliate (which means you agree to compensate RP and/or the RP Affiliate on a "dollar for dollar" basis) for that loss, damage, claim or liability, including compensating RP and/or the applicable RP Affiliate for our legal fees or expenses. If RP or the RP Affiliate wants to, they are allowed to take exclusive charge of the defense of any case on which you are required to compensate or reimburse them, and it will be at your expense. You also have to cooperate in RP’s and/or the RP Affiliate’s defense of these cases. RP and/or the RP Affiliate will use reasonable efforts to let you know if they learn of any claim on which you have to compensate or reimburse them. This will apply even if you stop using the Services or your account is deleted.

17. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO PLAYERS IN THE US AND CANADA.

Before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our Customer Support team via email at support@ryansplay.com (link sends e-mail) or try to find a resolution on one of our forums. Most disputes can be resolved that way.

We Both Agree to Arbitrate

If we can’t resolve our dispute through Customer Support or on our forums, you and RP or any member of the RP Corporate Family all agree to resolve any claims relating to the Terms, the Privacy Policy, Feature Terms or Services through final and binding arbitration. This applies to all kinds of claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions in the Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate sub-section. It also applies even after you stopped using your RP account or deleted it.

An arbitration proceeding is before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury, so we are all giving up our right to a trial before a judge and jury. Arbitrations have different rules than lawsuits in court. They are less formal than lawsuits in courts, and provide limited opportunity 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. But, if any of us 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 we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate

We all agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to

Your, RP’s or a RP Corporate Family member’s intellectual property (for example, trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights or patents); or
your violation of the Community Rules.

For more information about which court we can go to for resolving these types of disputes, see Section 19 (Venue for Legal Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration).

You can bring a claim in small claims court in San Francisco, California, and We can bring a claim in small claims court in the county where you live, in each case if it qualifies to be brought in that court, or some other place we both agree on. In addition, if you, RP or a RP Corporate Family member brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). You, RP or the RP Corporate Family member may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

No Class Actions

We all agree that we can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis.

That means:

Neither you nor RP nor any member of the RP Corporate Family can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action or representative action.
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 we both agree to change this).
The arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other RP players, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other players.

If a court decides that this subsection on “No Class Actions” is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Section 17 (Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) will be null and void (i.e., go away). But, the rest of the Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules, and Privacy Policy will still apply.

The Arbitration Process

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will run the arbitration between you and RP or the RP Corporate Family member, and AAA’s rules and procedures (including their Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable) will be used. If something in these Terms is different than AAA’s rules and procedures, then we will follow these Terms instead. You can look at AAA’s rules and procedures on their website www.adr.org or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879.

To start an arbitration proceeding, use the form on AAA’s website (www.adr.org) or call them at 1-800-778-7879.

Arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California. We could also hold the arbitration in some other place, but we both have to agree to that.

If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, you don’t have to have the arbitration in-person. If you don’t want to have it in-person, you can choose whether to have the arbitrator decide our dispute based on documents we both give to the arbitrator, or have a hearing by phone. If your claim is for more than US$10,000, we will follow AAA’s rules about whether the arbitration hearing has to be in-person.

The arbitrator has to follow the law that applies when deciding a dispute and either of us can challenge the arbitrator’s decision or award if the arbitrator didn’t follow the law.

Either of us involved in the arbitration can ask the arbitrator to put his or her decision or award, or his or her reasons for the decision or award, in writing. Also, either of us can take the arbitrator’s decision or award to a court to confirm it or enter a judgment on it (i.e., make it the same as a court judgment). Sometimes you can ask a court to change an arbitrator’s decision or award, but those circumstances are limited.

Arbitration Costs

Each party shall be responsible for its own costs in connection with the arbitration.

18. APPLICABLE LAW

The Federal Arbitration Act (including its procedural provisions) is the law that will be applied to determine whether Section 17 (Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) can be enforced and how it should be interpreted.

Apart from that, these Terms and our relationship will be governed by California law, except for its conflicts of laws principles.

19. VENUE FOR LEGAL DISPUTES NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION

Judicial proceedings that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 17 must be brought in state or federal court in San Francisco, California, unless we both agree to some other location. You and RP both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in San Francisco, California.

20. SEVERABILITY

Except as described in Section 17 under the “No Class Actions” heading, if any part of these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules or the Privacy Policy is not enforceable, the rest of these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules and the Privacy Policy still applies and is binding and any unenforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible.

21. ASSIGNMENT

We may give our rights, or Our obligations, under these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules, or our Privacy Policy to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not give your rights or your obligations under these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules, or our Privacy Policy without first getting Ryan's Play’s, LLC, written consent, and any attempt to do so without our consent is void.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, and any other policies or rules We reference in these Terms, make up the entire agreement between you and Us relating to the subject matter of these Terms, and (except in the case of fraud or made a fraudulent misstatement) 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.

23. LANGUAGE OF THE TERMS

If We provide a translated version of these Terms, Feature Terms, the Community Rules, the Privacy Policy, or any other terms or policy, it is for informational purposes only. If the translated version means something different than the English version, then the English meaning will be the one that applies.

24. NO WAIVER

If We do not enforce a provision of these Terms, Feature Terms, the Community Rules, or the Privacy Policy, that does not waive our right to do so later. And, if We do expressly waive a provision of these Terms, Feature Terms, the Community Rules, or the Privacy Policy that does not mean it is waived for all time in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by both you and Us to be legally binding.

25. NOTICES

We may notify you by posting something on ryansplay.com, or in the RP game(s) you play, and sending you an e-mail or using other ways of communicating with you based on the contact information you provide to Us.

If have to give Us notice of something according to the Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules, or the Privacy Policy, the notice must be in writing and addressed to Ryan's Play, LLC, Attn: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, 1371 N. Longmore St., Chandler, AZ 85224, unless we have provided a more specific method way of notifying us.

Any attempted notice that does not follow these rules has no legal effect.

26. EQUITABLE REMEDIES

You agree that given the unique and irreplaceable nature of the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms and the Community Rules, if you breach these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules and/or the Privacy Policy, or intend to breach these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules or the Privacy Policy, money damages alone will not be enough to repair the harm to RP. Therefore, for disputes that are not required to be resolved through arbitration as described in Section 17, RP may seek injunctive or other equitable relief (e.g., get a court order to make you stop doing whatever you’re doing that is causing harm) if you breach or intend to breach these Terms, Feature Terms, Community Rules or the Privacy Policy and RP does not have to post any bond or surety or submit proof of damages.

You agree to limit your claims to claims for money damages, as limited by Section 15 (Limitations; Waivers of Liability). And, you agree not to seek injunctive or equitable relief or otherwise seek to stop Us from operating any aspect of the Services or any RP game.

27. FORCE MAJEURE

We are not liable for any changes or problems out of our control, for example changes or problems caused by like natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
