Contact Information. Villain Games can be reached at the following address:
Villain Games LLC
9 E. Loockerman Street
Suite 311
Dover, DE 19901
Mandatory Binding Arbitration. If you are not able to satisfactorily resolve a Dispute informally within a total of thirty (30) days, or if Villain Games, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that it will not be possible to satisfactorily resolve that Dispute informally within a total of thirty (30) days, you agree that either you or Villain Games may request resolution by final and fully binding arbitration conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The party requesting that a Dispute be resolved by arbitration under this Section shall be responsible for initiating such a proceeding.
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will run the arbitration between you and Villain Games, 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 or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879.
YOU UNDERSTAND, AND FURTHER AGREE, THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING REGARDING THIS AND ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THIS BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL ELIMINATE YOUR LEGAL RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT, TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DISPUTE. You and Villain Games both agree that neither shall attempt to have any other arbitration or class action related to any other party joined to any arbitration in which you are involved with Villain Games. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no arbitration proceeding shall be decided on a class-action basis or utilizing class action procedures.

Within the Services, you may purchase, with "real world" money, a limited, revocable license to use Virtual Goods. Virtual Goods are licensed to you on a limited basis under the same rules as Section 2. Virtual Goods, regardless of whether they were "earned" or purchased within the Services, are owned by Villain Games and are not your property. Villain Games may manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate all Virtual Goods at any time, without Notice or announcement and without payment to you. Villain Games shall have no liability to you or any third party if Villain Games exercises any such rights.
You agree that once purchased, Virtual Goods have no monetary value. You are not permitted to transfer Virtual Goods outside the Services, including without limitation by selling, gifting, or trading them. You are further forbidden from sublicensing, trading, selling, or attempting to sell Virtual Goods for real world currency or any other kind of value outside of the Services. You also agree that you will only obtain Virtual Goods from Villain Games, and not from any other party. Any such transfers or attempted transfers are prohibited, and thus shall be considered null and void.
Virtual Goods purchased within the Services on other platforms such as Stripe, Steam, Facebook, Apple iOS, or Android will be subject to those platforms' payment terms and conditions. Villain Games does not control how you can pay on those platforms. Please review those platforms' terms of service for additional information.
ALL CHARGES INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE, FINAL, AND ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FOR ANY REASON, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CONSUMER RIGHTS LAW IN YOUR LOCAL JURISDICTION. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

10. Dispute Resolution
Informal Resolution. With respect to any Dispute, you agree to attempt to negotiate the resolution of any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, including any legal proceeding in court or before an administrative agency. Such informal negotiations commence upon Villain Games’ receipt of Notice from you.
Contact Information. Villain Games can be reached at the following address:
Villain Games LLC
9 E. Loockerman Street
Suite 311
Dover, DE 19901
Mandatory Binding Arbitration. If you are not able to satisfactorily resolve a Dispute informally within a total of thirty (30) days, or if Villain Games, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that it will not be possible to satisfactorily resolve that Dispute informally within a total of thirty (30) days, you agree that either you or Villain Games may request resolution by final and fully binding arbitration conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The party requesting that a Dispute be resolved by arbitration under this Section shall be responsible for initiating such a proceeding.
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will run the arbitration between you and Villain Games, 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 or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879.
YOU UNDERSTAND, AND FURTHER AGREE, THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF YOUR OWN CHOOSING REGARDING THIS AND ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THIS BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL ELIMINATE YOUR LEGAL RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT, TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH DISPUTE. You and Villain Games both agree that neither shall attempt to have any other arbitration or class action related to any other party joined to any arbitration in which you are involved with Villain Games. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no arbitration proceeding shall be decided on a class-action basis or utilizing class action procedures. You and Villain Games further agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
11. Miscellaneous
Changes. It is your responsibility to read, understand, and accept this agreement in connection with your use of the Services. You acknowledge that Villain Games may make changes to these Terms of Service at any time, and that Section headings in this agreement are for purposes of convenience only.

Waiver.

Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that any violation or threatened violation of this agreement will cause irreparable injury to Villain Games, entitling Villain Games to seek injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages, in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity.
