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

You and Wildlife Studios agree that any arbitration or court proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between Wildlife Studios and you individually. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) a claim by, or on behalf of, other persons, will not be considered in, joined with, or consolidated with, the arbitration proceedings or any court proceedings between you and Wildlife Studios; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated, adjudicated, or resolved through court proceedings on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) you will not have the right to participate as a class representative, private attorney general, or as a member of any class of claimants for any Dispute subject to arbitration or any dispute brought in court. 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.

APPENDIX I[.A] – TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The Tournament for XP School NGO will take place from April 16, 2022, 7 am UTC to April 28, 2022, on a timestamp to be defined by FFT. Players will only be put into brackets, play matches and be ranked against opponents from XP School NGO (which means that the tournaments from XP School will be completely apart and will have no influence over each other).

a) Tournament entry fee

The Tournament has no entry fee, regardless of in-game or real-world currencies.

b) Tournament leagues

The Tournament comprises one single league, which will contain all players enrolled to the game until April 16, 2022, 12pm UTC.

c) Tournament matches

The cost of each Tournament match is 2,000 coins, and the winner of each Tournament match will receive 4,000 coins.

There is a level 5 cap, which will also determine item-level caps; therefore, players with items with higher levels than their current league’s top level will have these reduced to fit the league’s level cap.

If players finish all 5 matches and still want to improve their results, they can spend gems to play an extra match, and the cost of each rematch will be four times the price of the previous one and the result of this match will substitute their worse result among the previous matches. The first rematch costs 10 gems.

For example, if a player buys his second rematch, the cost will be four times the gems he/she used to buy his/her first rematch, therefore 40 gems. In the case he decides to buy a third rematch, the cost will be 160 gems and so on.

d) Tournament Rounds

The 1st Round is called Qualifying; it lasts 3 hours and will be played from April 16, 2022, 7am UTC to April 16, 2022, 10pm UTC. Players will be distributed in brackets of approximately 50 participants. After the Qualifying is completed, players are ranked according to how many points they score in those matches and Tiebreak rules will be applied if necessary. The 50% best-ranked players qualify for the 2nd Round.

The 2nd Round lasts 3 hours and will be played from April 16, 2022, 12pm UTC to April 16, 2022, 3pm UTC. All qualified players from each league will be put in a bracket altogether. Ranking rules are identical to the 1st Round. The 4 best-ranked players from XP School NGO will qualify for the 3rd round.

The 3rd Round is the Final Round and will be played and livestreamed by FFT on April 28, 2022, at a time between 3pm and 6pm UTC, to be defined by FFT. The best-ranked player will play against the fourth best-ranked player, and the second best-ranked player will play against the third best-ranked player, all in a best-of-3 format.

e) Determining outcome in Tiebreaks

The tiebreak rules are applied in the case two or more players draw in the first two rounds. The criteria here explained are applied in the following order: (i) highest accumulated points difference, based on a subtraction of player’s point minus opponent’s points; (ii) highest number of victories; (iii) highest number of 10-0 victories; (iv) highest number of matches played, rematches bought with gems not included; (v) earliest end of the last match.

f) Prizing

(i) Prize of 1st and 2nd rounds

All players who qualify for the second round of the tournament will receive an in-game prize in accordance with their league. These prizes are described in a sheet in appendix 1 below. Top 3 winners in each bracket will win higher-value in-game prizes depending on their position.

(ii) Prize of 3rd round

The 2 winners from the third and final round from XP School NGO will receive a paid-expenses trip to Paris and the right to take part in the Roland-Garros eSeries by BNP Paribas 2022 Grand Final, on May 21st, 2022.

(iii) Prize distribution condition

Prizes are not transferable and substitutions, trade, or exchanges (including for cash) of any prize are not permitted. Wildlife Studios reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if it sees fit.

In the event the winners are not available, eligible or in the case of any other conditions that may prevent their receival of their prize, Wildlife Studios can, in its sole discretion, timely decide to award the prizes herein described to the runner ups as to guarantee the presence of two winners of the XP School NGO qualifier for the Grand Final in Paris.

As a condition of being awarded any prize, winners consent to the collection and processing of personal data from Wildlife Studios in order to establish communication and proceed with the delivery of Grand Final tickets, as stated above in Section 7 of the Official Rules.

APPENDIX I[.B] – TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The first open-to-the-public Tournament will take place from April 21st, 2022, 5pm UTC to April 25th, 2022, 5:15pm UTC.

a) Tournament entry fee

The Tournament has no entry fee, regardless of in-game or real-world currencies.

b) Tournament leagues

The Tournament comprises four independent leagues consisting of players who find themselves at the date of the Tournament inscription in one of the levels mentioned below. Players will be allowed to enter only the tournament related to the highest league they have ever reached, for example, a player who has already been in a Junior League can only play the Junior Tournament – the exception would be Grand Slam, which lacks its own tournament and should play the Master.

Thus, the distribution of players between the Tournament levels will be the following:

Maximum league reached by player	Available Tournament level
Beginner	Rookie
Rookie	Rookie
Junior	Junior
Challenger	Challenger
Master	Master
Grand Slam	Master

c) Tournament matches

The cost of each Tournament match is adjusted in accordance with the league the player belongs to. The winner of each Tournament match will receive twice as many coins as they spent to play the match, just as in non-Tournament matches.

League name	Level cap	Cost per match*	Reward for a win*
Rookie	Up to level 5	2,000 coins	4,000 coins
Junior	Up to level 7	20,000 coins	40,000 coins
Challenger	Up to level 9	200,000 coins	400,000 coins
Master	No level cap	1,000,000 coins	2,000,000 coins

*Values in Game Currency

If players finish all 20 matches and still want to improve their results, they can spend gems to play an extra match, and the cost of each rematch will be four times the price of the previous one and the result of this match will substitute their worse result among the previous matches.

The level cap will also determine item-level caps; therefore, players with items with higher levels than their current league’s top level will have these reduced to fit the league’s level cap.

League name	Initial cost of rematch*	Multiplying factor
Rookie	10 gems	4x
Junior	50 gems	4x
Challenger	100 gems	4x
Master	200 gems	4x

*Values in Game Currency

For example, if a player in Junior league buys his second rematch, the cost will be four times the gems he/she used to buy his/her first rematch, therefore 200 gems. In the case he decides to buy a third rematch, the cost will be 800 gems and so on.

Ranking rules are identical to the 1st Round.
