These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Crown ("Crown," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "App"). By creating an account or otherwise using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account or use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. We may require you to confirm your age at sign-up and may suspend or terminate accounts we reasonably believe belong to individuals under 17.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date.

You may not create more than one account, impersonate another person, or use another user's account without permission.

3. Virtual Currency

The App uses "Crowns," a virtual, in-app currency used solely to track standing and participation within the App. Crowns:

• Have no real-world monetary value
• Cannot be purchased with real money
• Cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or cashed out for money or anything of real-world value
• Cannot be transferred outside the App
• May be adjusted, reset, or removed by us at any time, including to correct errors or address abuse

Challenges and contests within the App are games of skill and prediction conducted using this virtual currency, and are not gambling. No purchase or payment of real money is necessary to participate in any feature of the App.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Cheat, collude with other users, or manipulate the outcome of any challenge or contest
• Exploit bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities in the App, rather than reporting them to us
• Use bots, scripts, or automated means to access or interact with the App
• Harass, threaten, or abuse other users
• Post content that is unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable
• Attempt to buy, sell, or trade Crowns or accounts for real-world money or value
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose

We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and to remove content, adjust Crown balances, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, in our sole discretion.

5. Challenges and Resolutions

Challenges, prop bets, and similar features are resolved based on official statistics or outcomes from third-party sports data sources that we select. We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but do not guarantee that any statistic, outcome, or resolution is error-free. Our resolution of a challenge, once processed, is final. If a game or event is postponed, cancelled, or its data is otherwise unavailable, we may cancel the challenge and refund the Crowns wagered, at our discretion.

6. User Content

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the App, such as chat messages, usernames, clan names, and profile information ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content within the App as necessary to operate the service. We reserve the right to remove or moderate any User Content at our discretion, including content that violates these Terms.

7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, graphics, logos, and underlying software, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license to use the App as intended, these Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, is harmful to other users, or is otherwise problematic. You may stop using the App and request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Crown and its owner(s) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App. In no event will our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the App exceed one hundred dollars ($100).

11. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

You and Crown agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and Crown each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action.

This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. If any part of this section is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except to the extent governed by the Federal Arbitration Act as described above.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
