​

SCN Services require access to the Internet, typically through a cellular data network or a local Wi-Fi network. The quality of your Services may vary depending on the strength and consistency of your wireless connection. If your bowling center has Wi-Fi, we recommend that you connect to it since it can be challenging to get a good cellular signal within metal-framed buildings such as bowling centers. In any case, we are not responsible for the quality of your Internet access, and we make no representations or warranties about the quality of your experience on your device. Further, a poor Internet connection may result in a poor experience, and it is solely your responsibility to establish a quality Internet connection. The time it takes to launch the Site or Application, or to update screens within the Site or Application will vary based on a number of factors, including your location, available bandwidth at the time, and the configuration of your device. The availability of Services will change from time to time. The quality of the display of bowling scores, challenges, and other Site and Application functions may vary from device to device, and may be affected by a variety of factors, such as your location, the bandwidth available through and/or speed of your Internet connection. Availability is subject to your Internet service and device capabilities. You are responsible for all Internet access charges. Please check with your Internet or cellular provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges.

​

CHALLENGES, CONTESTS AND PROMOTIONS

​

The Application and Sites may provide users the opportunity to participate in various single person challenges and multi-person contests (collectively Paid Entry Contests or PECs) or promotions. While you may participate in certain promotions for free, most PECs require that you pay an entry fee in order to participate. An entry fee is paid from your XBowling account balance.

 

By participating in PECs, you have the opportunity to win prizes.  The prize(s) for any individual Challenge or Contest will be announced in advance  in the XBowling lobby by clicking here, along with other details about the challenge or Contest.

 

Your ability to win a Challenge or Contest is dependent on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the Challenge(s) you select or enter, your skill in achieving the required criteria for a particular Challenge, and the skill of other players or users that may be participating in a Contest.  Challenges and Contests are subject to all applicable laws, and currently are not offered in AK or AZ.

 

Apart from any PEC, SCN also may also offer Bonus Credits (sometimes referred to as “XB Cash”) to users who participate in various activities, such as inviting a friend to register for an account with us, or as special promotions or loyalty rewards for achieving certain levels of play or achievement. XB Cash  is (a) awarded only for taking the invited actions, not based on the outcome of any PEC, (b) not transferable between accounts, (c) not for resale or other redistribution by recipients, and (c) has no cash redemption value.  XB Cash may be used only within the recipient’s Account as a form of payment for entry into subsequent PECs offered via the Sites or Application, or as otherwise authorized by SCN from time to time, and not for any other purpose.

 

SCN may adjust XB Cash and other Account balances to correct computing errors, and SCN may suspend or terminate your access to any item(s) in your account if you violate these Terms.   SCN further reserves the right to modify or eliminate the XB Cash feature at any time by posting a notice on this Site, in the Application, or via email to our users.

 

You are responsible for any and all taxes associated with your receipt of any prizes or other rewards available in connection with the Application, any Challenge, any Contest(s) or other promotional offer(s).

Please note that certain PECs or promotions offered via the Sites or the Application may be governed by a separate set of rules that, in addition to describing such PEC or promotion, may have eligibility requirements, such as certain age or geographic area restrictions, terms and conditions governing the use of material you submit, and disclosures about how your personal information may be used. All of such rules will be posted on the Site as and when available in the XBowling lobby, accessible here. It is your responsibility to read such rules to determine whether or not you want to and are eligible to participate, register and/or enter. By entering any such Contest, Challenge, or other promotion, you agree to comply with and abide by such rules and the decisions of the judge(s) identified therein, which shall be final and binding in all respects.

Additional Terms

 

Additional Terms for Paid Entry Contests

 

You hereby represent and warrant that you are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties set forth in these terms and to abide by and comply with the terms in this section.

 

  1. ELIGIBILITY. You must be at least 18 years of age to use your User Account to participate in PECs and to win prizes offered by the Services. In jurisdictions, territories, and locations where the minimum age to participate in a PEC is greater than 18 years old, you must meet the age requirement in your local jurisdiction or territory. Legal residents of Alaska and Arizona, (the “Excluded States”) are ineligible to participate in PECs awarding prizes. ”Authorized Account Holder” is defined as the natural person 18 years of age or older assigned to an e-mail address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization responsible for assigning e-mail addresses for the domain associated with the e-mail address submitted to register for a User Account. By inputting a payment method to participate in PECs, the Authorized Account Holder hereby affirms that the Authorized Account Holder is the lawful owner of the payment method associated with that User Account. It shall be a violation of these Terms for any Authorized Account Holder to submit payment using any payment method that is not owned by the Authorized Account Holder. It shall also be a violation of these Terms of Use to allow any other person to use your User Account to participate in any PEC. SCN employees may use the Service and participate in PECs for the purpose of testing the user experience, but may not win money or prizes. SCN consultants or promoters of the Service may participate in PECs without such limitation, but only if (i) their arrangement with SCN does not permit them to have any access to non-public Service data or any other data not made available to all players on the Service, and (ii) they do not receive any other competitive advantage in their play on the Service or in a PEC by virtue of their position as a SCN consultant or promoter.

  2. PEC ENTRY. Users will be able to visit the Service and view the PECs. Each individual PEC that is not free to enter has an entry fee listed in U.S. dollars. When you select to participate in a PEC and complete the entry process, the listed amount of U.S. dollars will be debited from your User Account to pay the entry fee.

  3. LEGALITY. You are subject to all laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside and from which you access the Services and you are solely responsible for obeying those laws. The PECs are void where prohibited by law. You agree SCN cannot be held liable if laws applicable to you restrict or prohibit your participation in the Services or a PEC. SCN makes no representations or warranties, implicit or explicit, as to your legal right to access or participate in the Services or a PEC nor shall any person affiliated, or claiming affiliation, with SCN have authority to make any such representations or warranties. SCN reserves the right to monitor the location from which you access the Services or a PEC and to block access from any jurisdiction in which participation is unlawful or restricted.

  4. REFUND POLICY. All payments are final. No refunds will be issued. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting a PEC entry, the entry will be deemed submitted by the person in whose name the account was registered. In the event of a dispute regarding scores submitted to the PECs, the ruling and decision of SCN shall be final and binding in all respects.

  5. CONTEST OF SKILL. PECs offered on the Service are contests of skill. Winners are determined by the objective criteria stated in each PEC’s deadline, rules, scoring and any other applicable documentation associated with the PEC. For each PEC, rules and criteria will be clearly displayed in the Contest lobby. These rules and criteria may include but are not limited to:

  • SCN’s contact information as the PEC sponsor;

  • An estimate of the number of players expected to participate in the Contest;

  • The dates the Contest will run, and the date the winner will be determined;

  • A description of the actions required to compete in the PEC (e.g., bowl one game, three games, etc.)

  • The methods of determining the PEC winner

  • Tie-breaking procedures

  • Eligibility requirements to participate in the PEC

​

Winners are determined based on the participants’ use of skill in the game of bowling to accumulate the highest game and/or series scores or other such forms of competition that may use a bowler’s scores.

​

  1. RULES AND CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION. By entering a PEC, entrants agree to be bound by these Terms and the decisions of SCN, which shall be final and binding in all respects. SCN, at its sole discretion, may disqualify any entrant from a PEC, refuse to award benefits or prizes and require the return of any prizes, if the entrant engages in conduct SCN deems to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the PEC or is in any way detrimental to other entrants. Improper conduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • Violating the rules of the sport of bowling. All participants must adhere to the current rules of bowling, which are described in the United States Bowling Congress 2014-2015 Playing Rules, found here: http://www.bowl.com/Rules/Rules_Home/USBC_Playing_Rules . Violation of any rule of the sport of bowling

  • Falsifying personal information required to enter a PEC or claim a prize;

  • Engaging in any type of financial fraud including unauthorized use of credit instruments to enter a PEC or claim a prize;

  • Colluding with any other individual(s) or engaging in any type of syndicate play;

  • Purposely bowling below the User’s ability in order to attain a lower league bowling average score in the most recent 60-day or 180-day period.

  1. Users further acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any prize shall in no way prevent SCN from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.

  2. SCN offers PECs to bowlers competing in organized leagues and SCN pre-approved USBC sanctioned tournaments. The PECs generally take place on a single day or week, but may also take place over longer periods of time (the “PEC Period”). Participants’ scores are tracked by the SCN Services; however, SCN may require the participants to comply with additional score verification steps, including but not limited to, requesting photographs of scores, requesting printouts of scores, requesting third-party verbal or written verification or signed declaration documents, and agreeing to use the Services’ location services.

  3. By entering into a PEC or accepting any prize, entrants, including but not limited to the winner(s), agree to indemnify, release and to hold harmless SCN, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and agents, as well as the officers, directors, employees, shareholders and representatives of any of the foregoing entities (collectively, the ” Released Parties “), from any and all liability, claims or actions of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to injuries, damages, or losses to persons and property which may be sustained in connection with participation in the PEC, the receipt, ownership, use or misuse of any prize or while preparing for, participating in and/or travelling to or from any prize related activity, as well as any claims based on publicity rights, defamation, or invasion of privacy.

  4. SCN is not responsible for: any incorrect, invalid or inaccurate entry information; human errors; postal delays/postage due mail; technical malfunctions; failures, including public utility or telephone outages; omissions, interruptions, deletions or defects of any telephone system or network, computer online systems, data, computer equipment, servers, providers, or software (including, but not limited to, software and operating systems that do not permit an entrant to participate in a PEC), including without limitation any injury or damage to any entrant’s or any other person’s computer or video equipment relating to or resulting from participation in a PEC; inability to access the Services, or any web pages that are part of or related to the Services; theft, tampering, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries and/or images of any kind; data that is processed late or incorrectly or is incomplete or lost due to telephone, postal issues, computer or electronic malfunction or traffic congestion on telephone lines or transmission systems, or the Internet, or any service provider’s facilities, or any phone site or Services or for any other reason whatsoever; typographical, printing or other errors, or any combination thereof.

  5. SCN is not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries. If for any reason a PEC is not capable of running as originally planned, or if a PEC, computer application, or Services associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper entry to a PEC in accordance with these Terms or applicable PEC rules, or if infection by a computer (or similar) virus, bug, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by entrants, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of SCN corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a PEC, the Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the PEC, and seek to determine the winner(s) in a fair and equitable manner, if possible, in the given circumstances, or to cancel the PEC and refund all entry fees if necessary.  If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification will be posted on the Services.

  6. ANY ATTEMPT BY AN ENTRANT OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE SERVICES OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY PEC IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, SCN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

  7. All entries become the property of SCN and will not be acknowledged or returned.

  8. To be eligible to enter any PEC or receive any prize, the Authorized Account Holder may be required to provide SCN with additional documentation and/or information to verify the identity of the Authorized Account Holder, and to provide proof that all eligibility requirements are met. In the event of a dispute as to the identity or eligibility of an Authorized Account Holder, SCN will, in its sole and absolute discretion, utilize certain information collected by SCN to assist in verifying the identity and/or eligibility of such Authorized Account Holder.

  9. Participation in each PEC must be made only as specified in these Terms. Failure to comply with these Terms will result in disqualification and, if applicable, prize forfeiture.

  10. Where legal, both entrants and winners consent to the use of their name, voice, and likeness/photograph in and in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of any PEC or the Services. Winners agree to make themselves available to SCN for publicity, advertising, and promotion activities from the date of notification by SCN of their status as a potential winner and continuing until such time when SCN informs them that they no longer needed.

  11. SCN reserves the right to move entrants from the PECs they have entered to substantially similar PECs in certain situations determined by SCN in its sole discretion.

  12. PEC RESULTS AND PRIZES. After each PEC Period ends, the tentative winners are announced but remain subject to final verification. SCN uses an array of score validation and certification measures. Some measures are real-time and some occur after the PEC has ended. To the extent that SCN offers ‘live’ scores or statistics, all ‘live’ statistics and other information provided through the SCN Services and related information sources are unofficial. Live sports statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of our PECs. While SCN and the third parties used to provide the SCN Services use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither SCN nor its third party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the SCN Services and related information sources. SCN and its third party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the SCN Services. SCN will only award prizes if a PEC is run. SCN reserves the right to cancel PECs at any time, for any reason, in our sole and absolute discretion. SCN will use reasonable efforts as and to the extent practicable under the circumstances to provide advance notice of cancellation to participants. In the event of a cancellation, all entry fees will be refunded to the participants, except as specifically provided in these Terms and any other rules for the affected PEC. The scoring results of a PEC will not be changed regardless of any official statistics or scoring adjustments made by the leagues at later times or dates, except in SCN’ sole discretion. In the event of a tie, the prize will be divided evenly between the tied players, unless otherwise specified.

  13. The PEC prizes and maximum number of participants for each PEC are pre-determined by SCN in its sole discretion. Prize amounts are not calculated based on entry fees and do not vary based on the actual or registered number of entrants into the PEC.

  • PEC prizes will be published with the creation of each new PEC. SCN reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the PECs (or any portion thereof) should any virus, bugs, unauthorized human intervention, or other causes corrupt administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the PEC (or any portion thereof). We will use reasonable efforts as and to the extent practicable under the circumstances to provide advance notice to participants of cancellation or suspension for these reason and all entry fees will be refunded to the participants, except as specifically provided in these Terms.

  • No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted. All taxes associated with the receipt or use of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of the PEC is challenged by any legal authority, SCN reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award or adjust such prizes. In all disputes arising out of the determination of a PEC winner, SCN is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.

  1. PAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL OF PRIZES. The identities of PEC winners will be posted on the Services. Additionally, SCN will contact winners through the email address they provided to create their User Account.

  • Entrants may withdraw their cash prize awards using the “Withdrawal” option on the Services. Entrant may also withdraw cash deposits by using the “Withdrawal” option on the Services. Entrants may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to, a Driver’s License, Proof of Residence, and/or any information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested by SCN in order to complete the Withdrawal of prizes. Failure to provide required information may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined that a PEC entrant did not comply with these Terms in any manner.

  • Checks for Withdrawal requests are processed within 14 business days, and are sent via U.S. Mail or through email if echeck. Promotional deposits, credits, and other bonuses may not be withdrawn from a SCN account unless appropriate terms of the promotion are achieved first by the user.

​

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

​

Initial Dispute Resolution

​

We are available by email at [support@scnsports.com ] to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Sites or Application. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

​

Binding Arbitration Agreement

​

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to the Initial Dispute Resolution Section above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Site shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS on a non-confidential basis in accordance with the provisions of its then-effective rules, including its streamlined procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity.  The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The procedures and rules of the Federal Arbitration Act shall exclusively govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision and the parties hereby reject, waive and disclaim the application of any state Arbitration Act.

​

The JAMS Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/, or by calling JAMS at 1.800.352.5267.  To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Waymark will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of fees should be submitted to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and SCN will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS.  If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases.

​

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 and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

 

Class Action Waiver

​

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

​

Exception – Small Claims Court Claims

​

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

​

30-Day Right to Opt Out

​

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the preceding three paragraphs by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 1862 Auburn Road, #118, Dacula, Georgia 30019.. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use any of the Sites or the Application, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those Sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, SCN also will not be bound by them.

​

Exclusive Venue for Litigation

Solely to the extent the arbitration provisions set forth above do not apply, or for purposes of either party enforcing an award granted to it pursuant to arbitration, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Atlanta, Georgia (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in Atlanta, Georgia for any litigation other than small claims court actions. The Parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in Atlanta, Georgia for any litigation and hereby waive, for all purposes, their right to challenge the lack of personal jurisdiction of Atlanta, Georgia over any litigation arising in connection with, out of, or as a result of (a) these Terms or the Sites or Application, and (b) any acts or omissions of SCN or any related entity or person in connection with these Terms or the Sites or Application.
