This section includes, but it is not limited to, the situations described below, in which penalties will be imposed. 

A) Standards of Conduct

B) Standards of Technical Maintenance 

Wildlife Studios is not responsible for hardware or software failures presented during the Tournament.

i. Match Game and Disconnects          

Match disconnects are situations in which the player is unable to start or continue a match due to disconnection. If a player disconnects from the lobby or the match, whether the last had started or was about to start, the penalty is a game loss. Additionally, if a player disconnects, closes the game, or is unable to continue playing for any reason, it will be considered a disconnection and result in a game loss.

C) Enforcement

Any player may be disqualified immediately from the Tournament, at the discretion of Wildlife or its agents, for any reason, including for any failure to comply with these Official Rules, the Wildlife Terms, and the Wildlife Privacy Policy.

B) Negotiations

 

  • In an effort to accelerate resolution and reduce the cost of any Dispute, you and Wildlife Studios agree to first attempt to negotiate a resolution of any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before either party initiates any arbitration or court proceeding, unless one or more of the exceptions to negotiations and arbitration in Section 8(e) below apply.
  • Negotiations will begin upon receipt of written notice by the party raising the Dispute. Wildlife Studios will send its notice to any billing address it has on file and email you a copy to any email address you have provided to Wildlife Studios.
  • You will send your notice to Wildlife Studios at Rua Doutor Renato Paes de Barros, 1017, 8º floor, CEP 04530-001, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

C) Binding Arbitration

  • If a Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations, either you or Wildlife Studios may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, unless one or more of the exceptions to negotiations and arbitration in Section 8(e) below apply. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other.
  • YOU SHOULD REVIEW THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION LIMITS YOUR AND WILDLIFE STUDIOS’ ABILITY TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN COURT AND YOU AND WILDLIFE STUDIOS EACH AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.
  • The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, which are available at the JAMS website (http://www.jamsadr.com). If, for any reason, JAMS is unable to provide the arbitration, you may file your Dispute with any national arbitration company under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator has authority to decide all issues of arbitrability, including where a party raises as a defense to arbitration that the claims in question are subject to one or more exceptions to negotiations and arbitration in Section 8(e) below.
  • Where any action includes claims that are arbitrable and claims that are not, the entire action shall be stayed, absent a showing of prejudice to the complaining party, pending the completion of the arbitration of the arbitrable issues. You or Wildlife Studios can request the stay be lifted upon a showing of prejudice. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. 

D) Arbitration Procedures

The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on you and Wildlife Studios, and any award of the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS MANDATORY PROVISION, THEY WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation. The parties understand that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

E) Exceptions

You and Wildlife Studios agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Wildlife Studios’ intellectual property rights; (ii) any Dispute related to, or arising from, claims that the other party has committed piracy or tortious interference; and (iii) any claim within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims courts.

F) Class and Collective Action Waiver

Any Dispute regarding the prohibitions in the prior Sections shall be resolved by the arbitrator in accordance with this Section 8.
  • If, for any reason, this class or collective action waiver is deemed unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you agree that the parties’ contract to arbitrate is then void, and any ongoing or future Dispute will be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of California, United States, to the exclusion of arbitration. Any Dispute at that time in arbitration will be dismissed without prejudice and refiled in a court.
  • Under no circumstances do you or Wildlife Studios agree to class or collective procedures in arbitration or court proceedings or the joinder of claims in arbitration or court proceedings. 

G) Location of Arbitration

  • If you are a resident of the United States, any arbitration will take place in your county of residence, to the exclusion of all other venues.
  • For residents outside the United States, any arbitration shall be initiated in State of California, United States.
  • Any Dispute not subject to arbitration shall be decided by solely a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of California, United States, and you and Wildlife Studios agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
  • You and Wildlife Studios agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Wildlife Studios’ intellectual property rights; (ii) any Dispute related to, or arising from, claims that the other party has committed piracy or tortious interference; and (iii) any claim within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims courts. 

8. GOVERNING LAW

  • All Disputes shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to choice of law principles, provided that Wildlife Studios shall have the right to disqualify any players that are rendered ineligible due to local law.
  • Players agree to be bound by these Official Rules and by the decisions of Wildlife Studios with respect to the disciplinary actions imposed for their violation, which are final and binding in all respects. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
