You may use the Services only if you are 13 years or older (14 years or older in Quebec), capable of forming a binding contract with ELO (for people who are minors in their jurisdiction of residence, your parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf), and not barred from using the Services under applicable law.
-
Registration and Your Information. If you want to use certain features of the Services you’ll have to create an account (“Account”). If we offer such functionality, you may do this through your account with certain third-party services such as Sign In With Apple or Twitter (each, an “SNS Account”). If you choose the SNS Account option we’ll create your Account by extracting from your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete, and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep it accurate, complete, and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password to anyone and you’ll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them. In the event that your username or password is used without your consent or that you discover any other breach of security, you agree to promptly notify us. We are not responsible for your failure to comply with this clause, or for any delay in shutting down your Account after you have reported a breach of security to us.
-
Subscriptions.
- General. Certain aspects of the Services may be made available on a subscription basis through one or more Apps. Subject to these Terms, subscriptions to the Services will automatically renew, and your applicable payment method on file will be charged, on a recurring basis corresponding to the duration of your subscription (“Subscription Period”). Your Subscription Period will depend on the terms of the particular subscription you signed up for. You may view the applicable end date of your Subscription Period and the subscription price through the settings on the mobile device used to subscribe to the Services. Where required by law or at our discretion, we will provide notice of the renewal to the email address (or other contact information at our discretion) associated with your account, and if you do not wish to renew, you may cancel without penalty as described in Section 7(d) “Cancellation” We reserve the right to change your subscription offering and/or pricing at any time, but we will give you advance notice of such changes. If you do not wish to accept such changes, you may cancel your subscription.
- Free Trials. We may offer free trials to the subscription-based Services. The terms of your free trial will be specified during sign-up. You may view the applicable end date of your free trial and the subscription price that will apply thereafter (unless you cancel your subscription as described below) through the settings on the mobile device used to subscribe to the Services. We determine free trial eligibility in our sole and absolute discretion and reserve the right to revoke any free trial in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. Upon the expiration of your free trial, your applicable payment method on file will be charged, unless you cancel your subscription prior to such date.
- Billing. By signing up for a subscription, you authorize ELO or the applicable third party (for example, Apple) to charge the recurring subscription fee and any applicable taxes (including VAT) for your subscription to your applicable payment method on file and in advance of every new Subscription Period in accordance with Section 9 (Payments), until canceled in accordance with Section 7(d) “Cancellation”.
- Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription to the Services at any time prior to the date it will automatically renew through the settings on the mobile device used to subscribe to the Services. For example, if you subscribed using your Apple ID, cancellation is handled by Apple, not ELO. To cancel a purchase made with your Apple ID under the current operating system, go to Settings > click on your Apple ID > Subscriptions, then find your ELO subscription and follow the instructions to cancel. Similarly, if you subscribed on Google Play, cancellation is handled by Google. To cancel a purchase made through Google Play under the current operating system, launch the Google Play app on your device and go to Menu > My Apps > Subscriptions, then find your ELO subscription and follow the instructions to cancel. When you cancel your subscription to the Services, you will not receive a pro-rated refund, but you will continue to have access to the subscription Services through the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Following such cancellation, your subscription will automatically end at the end of the then-current Subscription Period. If you cancel your subscription, you will still be obligated to pay other charges incurred by you in the course of using the subscription Services prior to the end of the then-current Subscription Period, to the extent applicable.
-
Feedback. We welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”).

You grant to us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.

-
Payments. Purchase of and payment for Products and Services via the Site and/or App shall be subject to these Terms.
- General Guidelines. Unless otherwise indicated, in order to purchase a Product or Service, you will be required to provide a valid credit card or other payment method accepted by ELO, as may be updated from time to time (“Payment Method”). When you initiate purchases of certain Products or Services (each, an “Order”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your chosen Payment Method the cost and any applicable taxes (including VAT) for such Order. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Order, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card, and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any such Payment Methods and provide such Payment Information. When you initiate an Order, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Order and to charge your payment method for the applicable amounts (including any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Order (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information).
- Placing Orders. The prices and descriptions of the Products and/or Services on the Site and/or App may be revised by us at any time and do not constitute an offer to purchase a Product or Service. All Products and/or Services are subject to availability and all Orders are subject to our acceptance. An Order will be deemed accepted by us when we accept your payment and dispatch your Order ("Acceptance"). Any email acknowledgement of your Order does not constitute our Acceptance of your Order. We reserve the right at all times to decline to process or accept any Order received from or through the Services at our absolute discretion. Payment in full, without set-off, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, is required prior to our Acceptance. We will charge your chosen Payment Method before or around dispatch of the applicable Products or the commencement of applicable Services. We are not responsible for any billing errors unless you notify us of such billing error within ten (10) calendar days from the date of Acceptance. In the event we confirm, in our sole discretion, that such billing error is attributable solely to us, we will cancel your Order and/or refund the prior overpayment that you may have made for the applicable Product or Service, as appropriate.
- External Accounts. When placing an Order through the Services, including subscriptions to the Services, you may have the ability to choose to pay through your account with the applicable App Provider (“External Account”), in which case, your billing relationship will be directly with that App Provider, and additional terms and conditions may apply. Your External Account will be charged for the purchase in accordance with these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase. Purchases made through such App Providers must be managed through your External Account. You expressly consent to the use of such App Providers to facilitate any and all Orders you elect to make through the Services.
- Pricing. Unless indicated otherwise in the applicable Additional Terms, all prices of the Products and/or Services listed on the Site shall be exclusive of (where applicable): (x) shipping fees; (y) any sales and/or import taxes or duties, and/or customs charges; and (z) Cross Border Fees (as defined below) (collectively, the "Additional Cost"). You are responsible for all such Additional Cost.
- Product Delivery and Risk. Any delivery timelines stated in the Shipping Policy or in any other acknowledgements are non-binding and for estimation purposes only. We will use reasonable efforts to adhere to such delivery timelines, but we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the risk of loss or damage to Products passes to you on the earlier of: (i) delivery to the address indicated in the applicable Order; or (ii) when placed in your possession or that of any carrier designated by you. Further, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to: (1) effectuate delivery by any means we consider appropriate, at your expense; and/or (2) charge you for any costs incurred as a result of your rejection or failure to accept delivery, including without limitation any storage cost.
- Product and Service Descriptions. We attempt to be as accurate as possible when describing the Products and Services. However, the information contained on the Site and App is for general information purposes only, and we do not warrant that any Product or Service descriptions or other Content on the Site or App are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If you purchase a Product through the Site or App, and you believe such Product is not accurately described on the Site or App, your sole remedy is to return the Product in accordance with our Warranty & Return Policy.
- Cancellation and Refunds. ALL ORDERS ARE FINAL AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL AN ORDER AND/OR RECEIVE A REFUND OF PAYMENT EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE WARRANTY AND RETURNS POLICY OR AS REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that we agree, in our sole discretion, to grant you a refund with respect to your Order, such refund shall not include any cross border or other fees that credit card companies may charge for the processing of any payment ("Cross Border Fees"). For the avoidance of doubt, we reserve the right to cancel your Order for any reason.

Dispute Resolution. THIS SECTION 20 APPLIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND DOES NOT APPLY TO INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS OF QUEBEC. a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. You and ELO agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and ELO are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms. b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 20(a) above: (i) you may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your desire to do so by email at support@eloesports.com or by regular mail at the address listed in Section 22 below within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms. c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. If your claim is for U.S. ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in Clark County, Washington; provided, however, that if you can demonstrate that arbitration in Clark County would create an undue burden to you, AAA may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and scope of this arbitration agreement. d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. e) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ELO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void. f) Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4 “Changes to Terms or Services” above, if ELO changes any of the terms of this Section 20 “Dispute Resolution” after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to support@eloesports.com) within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of ELO email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and ELO in accordance with the terms of this Section 20 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 20(e) of these Terms “Class Action Waiver”, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
