1. Epileptic Seizure Warning. Please note that certain people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns, even if they have never experienced epileptic symptoms or been previously diagnosed with epilepsy. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain images on screens, including virtual reality headsets, or playing certain video games, including the Game. If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness in particular) when exposed to flashing lights, you should consult your doctor prior to playing the Game. Stop playing the Game and consult a doctor if you have any of the following symptoms: convulsions; eye or muscle twitching; loss of consciousness or awareness; altered vision; involuntary movements; or disorientation. Velan Studios is not liable for any death, injury, or health complications resulting from any epileptic symptoms or conditions that may occur during or as a result of your use of the Game. To reduce the likelihood of a seizure or epileptic symptoms, do not play the Game when tired or need sleep and take 10 or 15 minute breaks every 30 minutes while playing the Game.

2. Motion Sickness. Playing video games (especially virtual reality games), including the Game, may cause motion sickness in some Users. If you feel dizzy or nauseous when playing the Game, stop playing and rest. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or engage in other demanding or strenuous activity until you feel better. To limit the risk of motion sickness while playing the Game, do not use the Game when you are tired, need sleep, are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, are hung-over, have digestive problems, are under emotional stress or anxiety, or when suffering from cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or earaches or other health issues that may increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.

3. Repetitive Motion Injuries and Eyestrain. Playing video games, including the Game, can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt. To avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain: avoid excessive play; take a 10 to 15 minute break every 30 minutes while playing the Game; if your hands, wrists, arms, eyes, or other parts of your body become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning, or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again; and if you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after playing the Game, stop playing and consult a doctor.

4. Play Area Precautions. Give yourself plenty of room to play the Game. Always be aware of your surroundings when playing the Game. While playing the Game in virtual reality you will be moving around the play area and using your hands to control gameplay. Make sure the play area is clear of furniture, objects, and other people that could be bumped into during gameplay. Please ensure that you are not near other people, stairs, balconies, windows, walls, furniture, or other objects that may pose a danger to you or could be damaged or injured during or immediately after using the Game. All objects that may pose tripping hazards, could cause injury, or could be damaged as the result of your contact with them while playing the Game should be removed from the play area prior to your or your family members playing the Game. A minimum six-feet-by-six-feet unobstructed play area is recommended for safe enjoyment of the Game. Never handle sharp or dangerous objects while playing the Game. Due to the immersive nature of the Game, sound volumes should be kept at low enough levels that you are able to maintain awareness of your surroundings while playing the Game and so as not to damage your hearing. You should not use the Game if your awareness of your surroundings is impaired by lack of sleep, drugs, alcohol, the effects of a hang-over, stress, anxiety, or when suffering from a cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or other illnesses.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION/CONSENT TO ARBITRATION

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY LAW, BY ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND VELAN EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

This Section 16 includes an agreement to arbitrate and offers a streamlined way to resolve disputes between us if they arise. Most of your concerns can be resolved quickly and satisfactorily by contacting Velan at support@velanstudios.com. If we cannot resolve your concern, you and Velan agree to be bound by the procedure set forth in this Section 16 to resolve any disputes between us.

This Section 16 also applies to our respective agents, employees, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, beneficiaries, and assigns. The agreement to arbitrate evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the US Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 16 and any arbitration carried out under this Section. This Section 16 shall be interpreted broadly and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

A. CLAIMS COVERED BY ARBITRATION

All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Velan Service and its marketing, or the relationship between you and Velan, including the validity, enforceability, and scope of this Section 16 (“Disputes”), shall be determined exclusively by binding arbitration. This includes claims that accrued before you entered into this Agreement. The only Disputes not covered by this Section 16 are claims (i) regarding the infringement, protection or validity of your, Velan's, or Velan's licensors' trade secrets, copyright, trademark or patent rights; and (ii) claims brought in small claims court.

B. INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS

You and Velan shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations begin upon receipt of written notice from one party to the other (“Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute must: (a) include the full name and contact information of the complaining party; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Velan must send its Notice of Dispute to your billing or email address.  You must keep your billing and email address updated with Velan.  If you fail to do so, then notwithstanding anything else in this Section, any Notice of Dispute that Velan sends to the billing or email address you last provided Velan will be deemed given and effective on the date it is sent.  You must send your Notice of Dispute to: legal@velanstudios.com.

C. BINDING ARBITRATION

If you and Velan cannot resolve a Dispute informally, you or Velan may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Consumer Rules"), which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879, with the following modifications:

0. Arbitration fees and costs shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules.

0. If the Dispute does not exceed $50,000, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of written submissions.

0. The parties may bring any dispositive motion or motions during the course of the proceedings.

0. The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, which will include the findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. The arbitrator has the authority to issue any relief allowed by applicable law, but the arbitrator shall have no authority to issue any relief on any basis other than an individual basis. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. You and Velan may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

D. LIMITATIONS

YOU AND VELAN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AS TO ALL DISPUTES. The arbitrator shall not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and shall not preside over any type of representative or class proceeding. If this paragraph D is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void.

E. LOCATION AND GOVERNING LAW

Arbitration will take place within twenty-five (25) miles of Troy, New York (U.S.A.), or such other location deemed mutually acceptable by the parties.  If you are not reasonably able to appear in person, some or all of the arbitration proceeding may be conducted using remote/virtual videoconferencing capabilities.  

You and Velan agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the New York State Supreme Court in Rensselaer County or the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York, to compel arbitration, to stay the proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator regardless of whether the arbitration is conducted in person or by remote/virtual methods.

This Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into in the State of New York and shall be governed by and interpreted pursuant to New York State law, without reference to its choice of law rules.  For disputes not subject to binding individual arbitration, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts for Rensselaer County, New York, and to waive any jurisdictional, venue or other similar objections.  

This Section will be interpreted as broadly as applicable law permits.  

The parties agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

F. RECOVERY

If the arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any claim you bring against Velan and issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than Velan's last written settlement offer, then Velan will reimburse the arbitration fees that you paid to the AAA.  If the arbitrator rules in Velan’s favor and finds that your claim was frivolous or not filed in good faith, you agree to reimburse Velan for any arbitration fees Velan paid to AAA.

G. CHANGES TO ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

Once you accept these terms, Velan will not enforce material changes to the agreement to arbitrate set forth in this Section 16, unless you expressly agree to the changes.  Velan may change the other terms of this Agreement as set forth in Section 17.B.

H. SEVERABILITY

If any clause within this Section 16 (other than the Class Action Waiver clause) is found to be unenforceable because it would preclude a particular claim or remedy (such as public injunctive relief), that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, while any remaining claims or remedies will be resolved through arbitration. If any clause within this Section 16 (other than the Class Action Waiver clause) is found to be unenforceable for any other reason, that clause will be severed from this Section 16 and the remainder of this Section 16 will remain in full force and effect.

17. GENERAL TERMS

A. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement, together with the Velan Privacy Policy, Code of Conduct, and any other Velan polices, rules or codes that Velan may adopt in the future constitutes the entire agreement between you and Velan. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless made in writing and signed by Velan or posted by Velan on its website or through the Services. The failure of Velan to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the right or any other right. If any part of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, all other parts of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

B. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT

Velan may modify this Agreement from time to time.  For Velan players who accepted a previous version of this Agreement, the revisions will become effective thirty (30) days after posting on our website or through our games.  Your continued use of the Velan Services after this thirty (30) day notice period means you accept the changes.  If you do not accept such changes, then the License granted to you is automatically revoked and you may not access or use the Service.  

C. EXPORT

You agree to follow U.S. and other export control laws and agree not to transfer a Velan Service to a foreign national, or national destination, that is prohibited by such laws.  You also acknowledge you are not a person whom Velan is prohibited from doing business with under these export control laws.
