  1. 8. Legality and Taxes:

You are subject to all laws of the city, state, federal, province and/or country in which you reside and from which you access the Contest Site and are solely responsible for obeying those laws. Access to the Contest Site may not be legal for some or all residents of, or persons present in, certain jurisdictions. You agree the Sponsor cannot be held liable if laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit your participation. The Sponsor makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the lawfulness of your accessing the Contest Site or participating in any tournament offered on the Contest Site nor shall any person affiliated, or claiming affiliation, with the Sponsor have authority to make any such representations or warranties.

The Sponsor reserves the right (but has no obligation to you) to monitor the location from which you access the Site and to block access from any jurisdiction in which participation or access is illegal or restricted. The Sponsor may require any participant receiving any prize to provide the Sponsor with proof that he or she is, or was at the time the subject tournament was played, eligible to participate according to the Terms and Conditions. Without limiting any contrary provision of the Terms and Conditions, if the Sponsor monitors your access or participation on the Contest Site, the Sponsor shall not be liable for the effectiveness of such monitoring. By accessing, using, or downloading in any way any materials on the Contest Site, or merely browsing the Contest Site, or creating an account and/or participating in any tournament or service offered by or through the Contest Site, you represent and warrant that you are doing so in compliance with the Terms and Conditions and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Contest Site for any liability, claims, and damages (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your violation of the Terms and Conditions.

It is the policy of the Sponsor, and in compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, the Sponsor may send an IRS Form 1099 or other appropriate form to any person who wins in excess of $600 (USD) on the site in any given year. Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, the Contest Site may also send you additional tax forms. In the case of contests where Players win $600 or more, we will withhold payment of funds until an IRS Form 1099 can be returned to the Sponsor. We do not withhold any taxes and you remain solely responsible for paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in your local, state, province, and/or country of residence.

  1. 9. Limitations on Participation:

You may establish only one account per person to participate in the activities offered on the Contest Site. The Sponsor reserves the right to monitor all activities on the Contest Site, including without limitation, any effort to establish multiple accounts; in the event the Sponsor discovers that you have opened more than one account per person, all additional accounts will be closed without notice and continued violation will result in the termination of any and all of your accounts and the Sponsor may void any associated winnings. The Sponsor also reserves the right to deny access to anyone, including, but not limited to, those players who use proxy servers and/or IP addresses residing in certain geographical areas.

The Sponsor may impose dollar amount limitations on the credit card transactions in which you engage to fund your activities on the Contest Site. The Sponsor may also impose limitations on the net dollar amount you may lose or win on the Contest Site in any calendar month; should your losses reach the designated limit, your play in the tournaments offered on the Contest Site will be restricted until the beginning of the next calendar month. The Sponsor reserves the right to change these dollar amount limitations at any time in the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion. The Sponsor reserves the right to set expiration dates or other limits on all player points. The Sponsor reserves the right to expire the player points balance of any dormant account. Player points is defined as any credit deposited by the Sponsor into an account, including, but not limited to, promotional credits, entry fee credits, accounting credits, prize credits, and gift credits. A dormant account shall be defined as any account that has been inactive for greater than one-hundred eighty (180) days.

Prize money, player points and future tournament entries are non-transferable.

  1. 10. Odds:

The results of all tournaments offered on the Contest Site depend on the number of the players participating in such tournaments and the skill of the players in such tournaments. Precise odds of winning are therefore unavailable.

  1. 11. Entries – Minimum, Maximum and Cancelled Tournaments:

For cash tournaments, the maximum number of entries will always be fixed beforehand and will not vary. Once the tournament has reached the maximum number of entries, the tournament is closed to additional entries. Tournaments may also be scheduled with a minimum number of entries, which will represent 90% of the total entries unless otherwise specified. Until a tournament has reached the minimum number of entries, on the individual tournament page the players icon will be identified in red. Once the tournament reaches the minimum number of entries, the icon will turn blue and the tournament will proceed regardless whether the tournament reaches the maximum number of entries or not. The tournament prizes for a specific tournament will not change depending on the number of entries. Thus, the tournament has only three statuses: a) It has not yet reached the sufficient (minimum) number of entries; b) It has reached the minimum number of entries and will proceed; or c) It has reached the maximum number of entries and will proceed, but is closed to future entries. In all cases, the prizes will not change. It is only in case a), where the minimum number of entries has not yet been reached, that the tournament is subject to cancellation due to insufficient entries. If the tournament reaches the pre-determined closing time, and the minimum number of entries has not yet been reached, the tournament will be cancelled due to insufficient entries and all player entry fees shall be refunded.

Qualifiers

If a game is designated as a Qualifier or “Round 1” game, players attempt to “Qualify” and win an entry into a future game.  Qualifying players will be automatically entered in the larger tournament that the game is a qualifier for.  Should the larger “Round 2” or Qualifying game be canceled, players will receive the cash value of the entry they won to that tournament.  DerbyWars can not guarantee that if a player wins a Qualifier that the future qualifying game will not be canceled.

  1. 12. Prizes:

Prizes are generally cash amounts, which are deposited directly into winners’ accounts. The cash value of prizes offered in tournaments will be disclosed at the beginning of such tournaments. If a tournament has to close prematurely, such as for maintenance or technical problems, the prize for the tournament will still be paid. Except where otherwise noted, in all tournaments with actual cash entry fees, the Sponsor retains a predetermined portion of the aggregate total as a management fee and/or tournament hosting fee.

Winners who wish to cash out their winning prizes can make a withdrawal request which will be made in the form of a check and sent by mail.

  1. 13. Determination of Winners:

The results and winners of each tournament offered on the Contest Site will be determined by the Sponsor, and such determinations are final. By registering and/or participating in any tournament, you agree to be bound by these determinations.

  1. 14. Game Rules:

Rules for each specific tournament offered on the Site can be found by clicking on the following link: Contest Rules

  1. 15. Withdrawal Requests:

Players may request a withdrawal of funds from their available account balance at any time. Withdrawals are processed by check within five (5) business days and typically arrive within 7 to 10 days; provided, however, the Sponsor reserves the right to freeze a Player’s account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected abuse by a user requesting withdrawal of funds. All withdrawal of funds shall be subject to the Contest Site’s remedies and sanctions set forth under “Fraud and Abuse”.

The Sponsor reserves the right to set a minimum check request amount of $1.00.  For withdrawals less than $1.00, players may use ACH bank transfer as a means of withdrawing funds.

Please note that any checks not claimed within sixty (60) days from the date of the check will become void and the amount of the check will then be re-deposited back to your account on the Site.

If a Player’s account is closed by the Sponsor for a violation of the Terms and Conditions, that Player’s winnings may be voided and not returned to that player. In such an event, the Sponsor, in its sole discretion, may use these winnings to defray the costs of administration and enforcement of the Terms and Conditions.

  1. 16. Fraud and Abuse:

Anyone who engages in, participates in, or displays behavior that may be interpreted, in the Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion, as the use of unfair methods on the Contest Site, including but not limited to, the opening and/or use of multiple accounts, the use of unauthorized or altered software or hardware to assist play (including the use of bots, bot nets, collusion with bots and/or use of software or programs), intentionally poor play in certain games in order to achieve a broader competitive advantage, collusion with other players, harassment of other participants, posting of objectionable material, any breach of the Terms and Conditions, any breach of the security of your account or the Contest Site, or any other act (whether through the use of automated technology or otherwise) that unfairly alters your chance of winning or constitutes the commission of fraud (collectively, “Abuse”), you shall be subject to immediate sanction (as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion), including without limitation: (1) immediate termination of your account and blocking of Site access; (2) any prizes, winnings and any other representative of value (if any) that you may otherwise have been entitled to receive shall be void and/or forfeited; (3) any prizes, winnings and representative of value already received by you shall be subject to disgorgement and/or recoupment by the Sponsor; and (4) in the case of money laundering, disclosure to the FBI in accordance with the terms of certain recently passed Federal legislation. Without in any way limiting any provision of the Terms and Conditions, the Sponsor expressly reserves the right to institute or seek any injunctive relief, civil and/or criminal proceedings against you and/or any of your co-conspirators arising out of or related to your commission of Abuse, including the right to recover fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and the right report you and such abuse to any and all relevant regulatory authorities or governmental agencies.

  1. 17. Accuracy of Player Information:

You represent and warrant that all information you supply to the Sponsor is complete, accurate and current.

  1. 29. Dormant and abandoned accounts:

All DerbyWars accounts are considered active if they have one transaction per year.  If the account has no activity after 2 years, and after attempts to reach the account owner, there will be a $3.99 monthly dormant account fee charged to maintain the account.

If there is no activity after 5 years, the account will be considered inactive and abandoned. At this point, a check will be processed and funds will be returned to the address on file, less administrative fees. The abandonment process is subject to a $20 administrative fee. If the check is returned, then the funds will be escheated to the state of North Dakota within 180-days.
