  1. Loyalty Points.

(A) You will have the opportunity to accumulate “Loyalty Points” through Your use of the Virtual Casino. Loyalty Points are virtual in-Game points that You may be able to use to “purchase” virtual items (“Virtual Items”) or items, services, or experiences (each a “Reward”) from our third-party rewards partners (“Rewards Partners”) within the Virtual Casino. As with all Virtual Credits, You do not in fact own the Loyalty Points You accumulate and the amounts of any Loyalty Points You accumulate do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, by “earning”, “buying”, or “purchasing” Loyalty Points, You are merely granted a limited license to use the software programs that manifest themselves as the Loyalty Points. In the event Happy Casino encounters issues with the Game that impact the accumulation of Loyalty Points and/or the redemption of Rewards, Happy Casino reserves the right to correct any such errors.

(B) You may accumulate Loyalty Points by taking certain actions while using the Virtual Casino. For example, You may earn Loyalty Points by posting Your in-Game achievements to Your Facebook account, “liking” certain aspects of the Virtual Casino, playing the Games for a specified duration, or participating in certain in-Game offers. The foregoing list is solely for purposes of example and explanation and is not meant to be exclusive or exhaustive. LOYALTY POINTS ARE NOT AND WILL NOT BE AWARDED OR EARNED IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR BASED UPON THE OUTCOME OF ANY GAME YOU PLAY DURING YOUR USE OF THE VIRTUAL CASINO.

(C) You may exchange Your accumulated Loyalty Points for in-Game Virtual Credits in the Virtual Casino. You may also exchange Your Loyalty Points for Rewards in the “Rewards” area of the Virtual Casino. The first time You exchange Your Loyalty Points for Rewards, You will be asked to provide Your name and email address. The name You provide must match the name that appears on a government-issued identification belonging to the person who has accumulated the Loyalty Points through his/her use of the Virtual Casino. The identification will be used by our Rewards Partners to verify Your eligibility.

(D) Once You have exchanged Loyalty Points for a Reward, You are said to have “purchased” that Reward. After purchasing Your Reward, You will have a limited period of time in which complete a “redemption process” by following a defined “redemption method.” Redeeming a Reward that has been purchased in the Virtual Casino secures that Reward for Your specific use at a particular time. When the redemption process is complete, You may then “use” the Reward. A Reward is considered “used” at the moment when it is consumed, e.g., when You check into a hotel room, eat a meal, or attend a show.

(E) Rewards Partners may, at their discretion, place restrictions on the usage of the Rewards they offer (e.g., a minimum age requirement, Reward usage black-out dates, a limit as to the number and frequency of Rewards that may be used within a specified period of time, and the requirement to participate in the partner’s own loyalty program, which may exist independently of the Virtual Casino). Rewards Partners may impose a deadline to redeem a Reward (the “Redemption Period”). Redemption of Rewards are subject to the terms and provisions of the Rewards Partner, including limitations on redeeming Rewards if You self-limit or self-exclude with the Reward Partner or any regulatory agency, including any gaming regulatory agencies. Some Rewards are of such limited availability that our Rewards Partners may, in their sole discretion, deem them to be non-refundable.

(F) The Redemption Period, redemption method, and other terms of Rewards usage may vary from Rewards Partner to Rewards Partner. You must review the specific Terms and Conditions of each Reward You purchase with Your Loyalty Points. Happy Casino is not responsible for the Terms and Conditions of the Rewards and bears no responsibility to You for any such unread, misread or misunderstood terms. The selection and availability of Rewards is subject to change without notice and Happy Casino makes no guarantees as to the availability of any Reward. For complete details and the terms, conditions, and restrictions for any individual Reward, please refer to the Rewards detail found within the Rewards catalog within the Virtual Casino.

(G) Once You have redeemed a Reward, You may no longer cancel that Reward and You will not receive a refund of Your Loyalty Points. On rare occasions, a Reward will “sell out” or otherwise become unavailable between the time You purchase it and the time You redeem it. If You are, within the Redemption Period, unable to redeem a purchased Reward because of such unavailability, You will be eligible to receive a full refund of the Loyalty Points used to purchase that Reward. If You do not redeem or cancel a Reward during that Reward’s Redemption Period, the Reward will expire. Your Loyalty Points will not be refunded to You if You allow a purchased Reward to expire. You are solely responsible for reading and understanding the Redemption Period and other Terms and Conditions of each Reward You purchase.

(H) You must be 21 years of age or older at time of redemption of Rewards offered by certain Rewards Partners. The Rewards that include an age requirement will be identified as such in the Rewards catalog in the Virtual Casino.

(I) Certain Rewards Partners may require You to enroll in separate rewards programs as a condition of redeeming certain Rewards. If You choose to participate in such programs, You hereby agree to comply with all applicable Reward Partner rules, policies, and Terms and Conditions. Once You have redeemed a Reward with any such Rewards Partner, Your ability to change that Reward may be at the sole discretion of that Rewards Partner. Any such changes will not result in a change to Your Loyalty Points balance.

(J) Rewards Partners may, in their sole discretion, change, amend, suspend, cancel, or terminate any Reward program they offer or any aspects and/or Terms and Conditions thereof, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice and for any or no reason. Any such changes may affect Your ability to use the Loyalty Points that You have accumulated through Your use of the Virtual Casino to purchase or redeem Rewards from such Rewards Partners. You hereby agree that Happy Casino and Design Works Studios, LLC shall have no liability to You as a result of such action any Rewards Partner.

(K) Rewards have no cash value and are non-transferable. You may not sell, trade, barter, bequeath or in any way assign or transfer any Reward to any other party. Any attempt to do so will invalidate the Reward and may result in the termination of Your Account.

  1. Sweepstakes and Giveaways. We may run sweepstakes, contests, and/or giveaways from time to time (“Sweepstakes”) where You may, in a manner consistent with the Official Rules (as defined below), win Virtual Credits, merchandise, products, gift cards, products, or services (“Prizes”) from Happy Casino, Rewards Partners, or others.

The Sponsors reserve the right in their sole discretion to disqualify any Entrant they find to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of a Sweepstakes or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to damage the Virtual Casino or undermine the legitimate operation of a Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsors reserve the right to seek damages (including attorneys’ fees) and any other remedies at law and in equity from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Failure by Sponsors to enforce any provision of the Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The procedures and rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The AAA’s rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1.800.778.7879. The arbitration rules and/or these terms of service permit You or us to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

(B) Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

(C) 30 Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the preceding paragraphs by sending written notice of Your decision to opt-out to the following address: Design Works Studios, LLC, 7150 E. Camelback Road, Suite 500, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251 Attn: Legal Department. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of creation of an account, otherwise You shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If You opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

(D) Exception-Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

(E) Exception-Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge and agree that any violation or breach of the Terms and Conditions may cause Happy Casino immediate and irreparable harm and damages; consequently, notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms and Conditions or other applicable legal requirements, Happy Casino has the right to, and may in its discretion, immediately obtain preliminary injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders) and seek permanent injunctive relief regarding any violation or breach of the Terms and Conditions. In addition to any and all other remedies available to Happy Casino in law or in equity, Happy Casino may seek specific performance of any term in the Terms and Conditions, including but not limited to by preliminary or permanent injunction. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any request by Happy Casino for injunctive relief, and You irrevocably agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose.

(F) The prevailing party in any suit or arbitration shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in addition to, and not in limitation of, other available remedies. All forum fees and expenses in any arbitration, including, without limitation, the arbitrators’ fees, shall be advanced equally by the parties; provided, however, that the failure of a party to timely pay its portion of any arbitration fees shall entitle the other party to a default award (if the non-paying party is the respondent) or dismissal with prejudice (if the non-paying party is the claimant).

(G) One Year Time Limit. You agree to commence any arbitration proceeding (or court action if applicable) with respect to this Agreement within one year after the claim arises. You agree that a proceeding commenced after this date is barred.

  1. Force Majeure. Acts of God, terrorism, riots, war, floods, fire, power outages, casualty, governmental mandates, strikes, and shortages are considered to be outside of Happy Casino’s control and Happy Casino shall not be liable for any performance issues or delays resulting from such occurrences.
  1. Customer Disputes. We hereby inform You that we may record all electronic transactions and communications with You and use the same for any legal purpose we deem appropriate including, without limitation, for training and enforcement purposes.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be determined to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then the unlawful, void and/or unenforceable provision(s) shall be deemed severable from the other provisions contained herein and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions.
