You agree that OwnersBox shall not be liable to your or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services, provided that any ongoing contest shall be cancelled and you will be refunded any applicable entry fee.

If OwnersBox determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, then you are not authorized to enter Paid Contests. OwnersBox may require you to provide proof that you are eligible to participate according to this section prior to receiving a prize. This includes by requesting that you fill out an affidavit of eligibility or other verification information. If OwnersBox otherwise determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, in addition to any rights that OwnersBox may have in law or equity, OwnersBox reserves the right to terminate your account, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with your account or limit your ability to withdraw. In such a situation, OwnersBox may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant Contest in a manner consistent with the prize structure of the Contest, to be precisely determined by OwnersBox in its sole discretion.

5. Availability of the Services

You acknowledge that there may be interruptions in service or events that are beyond our control.

6.2.1 Indemnification for Contest Entry

By entering into a Contest or accepting any prize, entrants, including but not limited to the winner(s), agree to indemnify, release and to hold harmless OwnersBox, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and agents, as well as the officers, directors, employees, shareholders and representatives of any of the foregoing entities, 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 Contest, 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. OwnersBox may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require the account holder to execute a separate release of claims as a condition of being awarded any prize or receiving any payout.

6.3 Contests of Skill – Paid Contests

All Contests offered on the Services are contests of skill. Each of our Contests are governed by specific rules, as may be modified from time to time, which are incorporated into these Terms by this reference. Winners are determined by the objective criteria described in the Contest rules, scoring guidelines, and any other applicable documentation associated with the Contest. From all entries received for each Contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant information and rules to accumulate the most points according to the corresponding scoring rules. The Services may not be used for any form of illicit gambling.

6.4 Contest Results and Prizes

Prizes will only be awarded if a Contest is completed. We reserve the right to cancel Contests at any time. In the event of a cancellation, all entry fees will be refunded to the customer’s OwnersBox account except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

The players in each Contest who are deemed winners and comply with eligibility requirements and applicable rules will win predetermined prizes as set out in the Contest Prize Table (as further defined below). After each Contest ends, the tentative winners are announced but remain subject to final verification. Winners may be requested to return via email or regular mail an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement and appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Any prize notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. Prizes will be awarded as soon as reasonably practicable following the conclusion of each Contest and all monetary winnings will be deposited directly into your OwnersBox Account.

Once winners are selected and prizes are awarded, the scoring results will not be changed regardless of any official adjustments made by the professional leagues, though we reserve the right to make adjustments based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to us from our stats provider or in our calculation of results. 

Any amounts that are mistakenly credited as winnings to your Account remain our property and will automatically be transferred from your Account upon confirmation of the error. Further, you acknowledge and agree that should we, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine that you did not comply with and or adhere to this Agreement, we may disqualify you from any Contest entered, in which case any prizes awarded to you as a result of said Contest will be immediately forfeited. You agree to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments for violations or errors. Any amounts mistakenly credited to your Account that have been withdrawn by you before confirmation of the error will constitute a debt owed by you. You grant OwnersBox the right to request that your bank freeze, seize and/or reverse any funds that were derived from amounts awarded in error by OwnersBox.

No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted except at our sole discretion. All prizes are awarded AS IS and WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, express or implied, (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) by us. If any legal authority challenges the award and/or your receipt of a prize for winning a Contest, OwnersBox reserves the right in its sole discretion to revoke, cancel, suspend, substitute, or modify the award of such prize. In all disputes arising out of the determination of the winner of OwnersBox Contests, OwnersBox is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.

6.5 Contest Statistics and Live Scoring

To the extent that we offer 'live' statistics during gameplay, all 'live' statistics and other information provided through the 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 Contests. While OwnersBox and the third parties used to provide the Services use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither OwnersBox nor its third-party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the Services and related information sources. OwnersBox 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 Services and related information sources, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.

6.6 Stat Corrections

OwnersBox takes every effort to ensure that accurate, up-to-date scoring is applied across all Contests. However, OwnersBox does not guarantee the accuracy of any scoring or stat corrections. Official scores and results will be posted at the conclusion of the sporting event or competition once it has been declared official and all official box scores and statistics are posted. However, in some cases, clear and obvious stat corrections posted by either OwnersBox’s third-party data provider or the official statistics provider for the event or competition may be retroactively applied to entries and taken into consideration for determining how to score the Contest at OwnersBox’s discretion.

6.7 Contest Cancellation

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or suspend any Contest (or any portion thereof) for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to, the safeguarding of the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the Contest (or any portion thereof). This section specifically includes when a Contest Prize Table has been tampered with. We may provide you with notification of such cancellations or suspensions, but will not be obliged to do so. In the event that a Contest is cancelled altogether prior to the Contest running, no Contest entry fee will be payable by you and any amounts that were to be used for the purpose of entering the Contest will once again be made available to you via your account.

 

7. Deposits and Withdrawals

7.1 Payment

Creating an OwnersBox account is free. However, there are associated fees for certain Contests and Account types. When you use a service that has a fee you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged.

To pay for such services, you must provide OwnersBox with the information necessary to process such order including, but not limited to, your billing address and payment method. You agree to pay OwnersBox the charges incurred in accordance with these Terms and applicable pay services. If you dispute any charges, you must inform OwnersBox in writing within thirty (30) days of being billed by OwnersBox. If our fees ever change, the changes to fees are effective after we provide you with notice by posting the changes on the Services or by email.

7.2 Deposits

To participate in Paid Contests, you will be required to deposit funds into your Account by any of the methods permitted on the Services. Such funds will be deposited into your Account upon actual receipt of the funds by OwnersBox (see Player Reserve Account information below). By Depositing or entering paid Contests, you agree to provide us with a valid full name, mailing address, date of birth, and any other information we may require in order to run appropriate identity checks and comply with applicable rules and regulations. If necessary, you may be required to provide appropriate documentation that allows us to verify you. Minimum and maximum limits may be applied to deposits into your Account, depending upon your history with the Services, the method of deposit, state-imposed deposit limits, and other factors as determined solely by OwnersBox. 

We are not a bank and funds are not insured by any governmental agency (see Player Reserve Account information below). No interest is payable on amounts on deposit in your Account. All payments into your Account must be from a payment source on which you are the named account holder. It shall be a violation of these Terms for you to submit payment using any payment method that you are not the named account holder. In addition, to be eligible to deposit money into your Account and play in Contests that award prizes, you must not be subject to backup withholding tax from the IRS. 

Deposited funds are intended to be used for entry into contests on the platform. If you would like a refund of a recent deposit, please contact our customer support at support@ownersbox.com. In order to protect OwnersBox and its users, we may prevent withdrawals for deposited funds that have not been used for contest entries until reasonable anti-fraud checks and investigations have been completed.

We also may conduct checks for Terms compliance, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a withdrawal, and we may request additional information before permitting a withdrawal. If OwnersBox requests that an entrant completes and executes such an affidavit and the entrant fails to do so within ten (10) days, or OwnersBox otherwise determines that the entrant does not meet the eligibility requirements or is not in compliance with these Terms, OwnersBox reserves the right to terminate the entrant’s account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, OwnersBox may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant Contest in a manner consistent with the Rules of the Contest.

7.3 Charge Backs

If any deposit is charged back any winnings generated from OwnersBox Contests shall be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from your Account balance or seized from any bank account into which you have deposited the Prizes. In addition, the amount of the initial deposit will be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from the Account balance. In the event that, following such deductions, your Account balance is in a negative balance, you expressly acknowledge and agree that such negative balance shall constitute an uncontestable debt payable by you to us, due and payable immediately. OwnersBox reserves the right to close your account – without notice – should a deposit be charged back.

7.4 Segregated Account for Deposited Funds

When you make a deposit, or earn winnings, your deposits and Contest winnings are held in a separate, segregated bank account (the “Player Reserve Account”) held by OwnersBox Player Reserve LLC. Vendors, players, and creditors shall be aware that the funds in the Player Reserve Account do not belong to OwnersBox Player Reserve LLC and are not available to creditors of OwnersBox Player Reserve LLC. These funds belong to you, subject to review for evidence of fraud, verification or other prohibited conduct as described above, and OwnersBox may not use them to cover its operating expenses or for other purposes.

7.5 Bonuses and Promotions

From time to time, OwnersBox may provide you with promotional programs such as drawings, contests, supplemental prizes, loyalty programs, discounts or bonuses, including the OwnersBucks™ promotion, as an incentive to use OwnersBox’s Services, to establish an OwnersBox account or to refer others to sign up with OwnersBox. Such promotional programs may be governed by their own terms and conditions which will be presented at the time of such promotions. Unless otherwise provided, any bonuses or promotions that you do not apply to a Contest (i.e. use) within thirty (30) days of receipt of the bonuses or promotions shall automatically terminate and become null and void, at OwnersBox's sole, unlimited discretion. Any existing bonuses or promotions you received prior to the Effective Date of these Terms shall remain valid for an additional thirty (30) days from the Effective Date before such bonuses and promotions shall automatically terminate and become null and void. Please note, OwnersBucks are excluded from this expiry. 

Unless otherwise provided, promotional bonuses are non-transferrable. When entering a paid contest, the funds used to enter will be taken from initial deposits prior to bonus or promotional funds being used.

To withdraw a bonus, the bonus must be earned. The earn rate for a given bonus is a 10:1 ratio unless stated otherwise within the specific promotional terms. For example, if you receive a $10 bonus, you must play $100 before withdrawing the full $10 received from the bonus. If the bonus received is based on a deposit and a refund request is made for such deposit, the bonus will be revoked. For example, if you receive a $10 bonus based on a $20 deposit and you request a refund of your initial $20 deposit, the $10 bonus will be revoked.

7.6 Withdrawals

The withdrawal process is intended only for winnings. If you would like to refund one of your recent deposits, please contact customer support. You may request a withdrawal of funds from your available cash balance in your Account at any time, provided that the funds are not restricted from withdrawal such as bonus and promotions or for violations of this agreement. You are the only person or entity authorized to withdraw funds from your Account. Withdrawal options vary based on the State/Province you're located in. Please refer to OwnersBox's Knowledge Base for a detailed breakdown.

Entrants may withdraw their cash prize awards as well as cash deposits by using the "Withdrawal" option on the Services. If your identity and Account cannot be verified, OwnersBox will not release the funds from your Account. You acknowledge that, in order to complete withdrawals, 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 as reasonably requested by OwnersBox in order to complete the withdrawal of prizes. We also may conduct checks for Terms compliance, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a withdrawal, and we may request additional information before permitting a withdrawal. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such entrant did not comply with these Terms in any manner.

If your Account is closed by us for a violation of the Terms, we reserve the right to determine, in our sole determination, whether to declare as void any transaction placed by you. If a prize has been awarded on a closed Account due to fraud, OwnersBox may withhold the prize, provided that the prize is then awarded to another participant in the Contest who would have won the prize had that User not participated. Further, if you have already withdrawn funds, whether prizes or otherwise (e.g. other monies not won via Contests), that were, in the sole determination of OwnersBox , the result of a violation of these Terms and/or federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, then you grant OwnersBox the right to debit the bank account to which these funds were deposited without reservation and until OwnersBox recoups, in whole, any and all monies that you improperly withdrew. In such an event, we will first use your Account funds to defray the costs of administration and enforcement of the Terms.

You expressly authorize us to debit and/or credit the Bank Account according to these Terms. You further authorize us, as well as our third-party payment processors and all related banks, to process electronic funds transfers through the Bank Account you designate. You represent and warrant that you shall, at all times, maintain a sufficient balance in your Bank Account to cover all obligations owed to us pursuant to these Terms and further expressly waive all rights to dispute any attachment or other debt collection efforts undertaken by us and/or our assigns, agents, and partners in instances where you do not maintain a sufficient balance in your Bank Account to cover all obligations owed to us. Further, you expressly agree that we, and/or our third-party payment processors and related banks, may debit any such Bank Account held by, or on, your behalf, in order to satisfy any of your obligations to us that arise out of or in any way relate to these Terms, the Site, App, or your use of OwnersBox Services, including, without limitation, Deposits and Withdrawals. This authorization shall survive the termination of these Terms and shall continue in perpetuity until all of your obligations to us are paid in full, including, but not limited to, the obligations described in these Terms. If you wish to revoke your authorization for us to debit the Bank Account, you must submit that request, in writing, in the manner required for providing notice to OwnersBox as set forth in the Terms, at least 24 hours prior to the origination of any transaction permitted by the Terms. You may not submit any such notice revoking authorization for us to debit the Bank Account at any point in time after originating the withdrawal.

Processing of withdrawals may take up to five (5) business days; provided, however, OwnersBox reserves the right to freeze your Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected abuse by a user requesting withdrawal of funds. If you do not receive your withdrawal within five (5) business days, please contact customer support at support@OwnersBox.com.

7.7 Refunds

All paid entry fees are final. No refunds will be issued. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting a lineup, the lineup will be deemed submitted by the person in whose name the Account was registered.

7.8 U.S. Dollars

All deposits and withdrawals will be denominated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise expressly stated. If you make a deposit that is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, please be aware that the funds will be converted into U.S. dollars by our Payment Processors (defined below) or your financial institution and you may be charged a service fee for such conversion. Please also be aware that our Payment Processors and/or your financial institution may use different conversion rates for deposit and refund transactions. The conversion rate used is not under our control and we recommend that you contact your financial institution directly for more information.

7.9 Taxation (United States)

All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Contests is challenged by any legal authority, OwnersBox reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.

Each year all winners who have won $600 USD or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to OwnersBox. These details will be used to allow OwnersBox to comply with tax regulations and may be shared with appropriate tax authorities. In compliance with United States Internal Revenue Service regulations, OwnersBox may be required to submit a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income (Form 1099) to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other appropriate form to any person who wins in excess of $600 (USD) on the Site (winnings less entry fees) in any given year. Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, OwnersBox may require you to complete a Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and Certification and/or additional tax forms. This information will be used to file the Form 1099 with the IRS. OwnersBox reserves the right to withhold (from your existing account balance and/or from future net winnings) any amount required to be withheld by law.

7.11 Account Inactivity Fees and Escheatment

If your OwnersBox account has no activity for twenty-four (24) consecutive months, or thirty-six (36) months in Arizona, the account will be considered inactive. OwnersBox may assess a fee of $2.99 per month on all inactive accounts, where permitted by jurisdictional laws and regulations, until the account is reactivated by entering a contest, making a deposit, or withdrawing funds. Arizona users are excluded from this fee. Prior to deducting any fees due to account inactivity, OwnersBox will provide you at least thirty (30) days-written notice. If your account remains inactive for the amount of time specified by applicable state law, usually between thirty-six (36) and sixty (60) months, it will be considered abandoned. Once an account is abandoned, OwnersBox is required by state law to remit the abandoned funds to the appropriate state agency as unclaimed property. OwnersBox may also charge additional fees associated with the delivery of abandoned funds to the applicable state agency subject to limitations of applicable law.

8. Publicity

The rules specific to certain Contests may contain additional publicity obligations or may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.

21. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS,

INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

21.1 Initial Dispute Resolution

It is OwnersBox’s goal that the Services meet your expectations and live up to our promises to you. However, there may be instances when you feel that OwnersBox has not fulfilled its obligations or you may have a different type of problem or dispute that needs special attention. In those instances, OwnersBox is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution that satisfies you; however, we can only do this if we know about and understand your issue. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with OwnersBox, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give OwnersBox an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. In order to initiate this dispute resolution process, you must first send us a written description of your problem or dispute within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the dispute by sending an email to disputes@OwnersBox.com. You then agree to negotiate with OwnersBox in good faith about the dispute for at least sixty (60) days after OwnersBox’s receipt of your written description of it.

21.2 Binding Arbitration

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time of informal dispute resolution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at +1.800.778.7879.

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 are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment 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 and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

21.3 Location

The arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States or Canada reasonably convenient for both parties.

21.4 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. YOU AND OWNERSBOX 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. 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 - Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims

Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

21.6 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 above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to OwnersBox at disputes@OwnersBox.com. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of the Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, OwnersBox also will not be bound by them.

21.7 Changes to this Section

OwnersBox will provide 30-days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 30th day, and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 30th day.

For any dispute not subject to arbitration you and OwnersBox agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in Dallas County, Texas. You further agree to accept service of process by mail, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

The Terms and the relationship between you and OwnersBox shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to conflict of law provisions.

22. Assignment

The Terms are personal to you, and are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with OwnersBox’s prior written consent. Any assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void. OwnersBox may assign, transfer, or delegate any of its rights and obligations hereunder without your consent.

23. No Third-Party Beneficiaries

You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms.

24. Notice Policy and Your Consent

Under these Terms you are contracting with OwnersBox 3.0 Corporation, a Delaware corporation. All notices should be addressed to OwnersBox 3.0 Corporation at the address in the Contact section below.

For the avoidance of doubt, we are entering into this Agreement as principal and not as agent for any other OwnersBox company. Subject to any permitted assignment, the obligations owed by us under this Agreement shall be owed to you solely by us and the obligations owed by you under this Agreement shall be owed solely to us.

You acknowledge and agree that we may give you notice by means of a general notice on the Services, electronic mail to your email address in your account, text message, or by written communication sent by first class mail or pre-paid post to your address in your account. Such notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the expiration of 48 hours after mailing or posting (if sent by first class mail or pre-paid post) or 12 hours after sending (if sent by email or text). You may give notice to us, with such notice deemed given when received by us, at any time by first class mail or pre-paid post to the address set forth in the Contact section or at such other address as we may advise from time to time, pursuant to this provision.

25. Geographic Limits of Service

OwnersBox makes no representation that materials contained on the Services or products described or offered are appropriate or available for use in jurisdictions outside the United States or Canada, or that these Terms comply with the laws of any other country. Accessing the Service is prohibited from territories where the Content is illegal. If you access the Service from other locations, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws. You agree that you will not access the Services from any territory where the contents are illegal, and that you, and not OwnersBox, are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.

26. Governing Law

These Terms (and any further rules, policies, or guidelines incorporated by reference) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, and without application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act or the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods.

You agree that OwnersBox and its Services are deemed passive and that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over OwnersBox or its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers or shareholders, either specific or general, in any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms, or your use or non-use of the Services, shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County in the State of Texas and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. You irrevocably waive any right you may have to trial by jury in any dispute, action, or proceeding.

Integration and Severability

These Terms and other referenced material constitute the entire agreement between you and OwnersBox with respect to the Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and OwnersBox with respect to the Services and govern the future relationship. If a court in any final, unappealable proceeding holds any provision of these Terms or its application to any person or circumstance invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms, shall not be affected, and shall be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

28. No Waiver

The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.
