2. Interface, Regulation and Risk

Your CoinRaces Account is not a bank account, deposit account, savings account or any other type of asset account and should not be treated or characterised as a banking product or service. CoinRaces is not providing any investment-based products, CoinRaces provides an Interface which facilitates your access to predication gaming applications that are managed by smart contracts. Your participation in any predication games does not constitute the provision by CoinRaces of a cryptocurrency or digital asset wallet for storing and manging your digital asset holdings.

CoinRaces Interface provides a web or mobile-based means of access to decentralized protocols on various public blockchains, including but not limited to BNB chain and the TON network that allows users to stake certain digital assets in digital asset prediction games and/or access to the order contract; Supported Contracts (as defined below); decentralized applications; APIs; all software made available by CoinRaces to operate the Interface for blockchain-based assets (collectively, “Digital Assets”), including, without limitation, entering into contracts (“Contracts”) related to a specified event, occurrence, or value (collectively, the “Services”).

SUPPORTED PREDICTION GAME CONTRACTS ARE NOT OFFERED TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE CITIZENS OF, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, OR HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (COLLECTIVELY, “US PERSONS”).  MOREOVER, NONE OF THE COINRACES SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, OR HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE IN ANY RESTRICTED TERRITORY, AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3 BELOW (ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY FROM A RESTRICTED TERRITORY, A “RESTRICTED PERSON”). WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS; THEREFORE, IF YOU ARE A US PERSON, THEN DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE OR ACCESS THE PREDICTION GAMES CONTRACTS AND IF YOU ARE A RESTRICTED PERSON, THEN DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY OF THE SERVICES, AS DEFINED BELOW.

The Interface is distinct from the CoinRaces software applications and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the prediction games, smart contracts and protocols. The CoinRaces’ software application/s comprises open-source or source-available self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various public blockchains, such as TON, BNB and Ethereum. CoinRaces does not control or operate any version of the Protocol on any blockchain network. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocols or control and/or facilitate trading, swaps or trade execution on any Protocols. When users pay fees for entering into contracts, those fees accrue to the collective users of the protocol as governed by the Protocols Smart Contracts.

To access the Interface, you must use a non-custodial wallet software, which allows you to interact with public blockchains. Your relationship with that non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service (with respect to a third-party wallet, the applicable terms of service of such third party). We do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your wallet to our Interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference

CoinRaces Interface and software is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold, and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how any of our Products will operate with any specific wallet. Likewise, you are solely responsible for any associated wallet, and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with or as a result of your wallet being compromised.

No CoinRaces Service or entity is authorised or regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for the purposes of crypto asset exchange, crypto asset custody, broader crypto asset services or for making payments in crypto assets. Your Digital Assets, are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service or any other consumer protections or similar schemes in any jurisdiction. 

As part of CoinRaces Services, CoinRaces has engaged various Third-Party Service Providers which may be regulated and authorised in respect of the services they provide. You acknowledge and agree that our providing access to services with Third Party Service Providers shall not be deemed to confer any requirement for authorisation on the part of CoinRaces or constitute CoinRaces being regulated or authorised to provide the services that are provided by the Third-Party Service Providers.

You acknowledge and agree that any Service referred to in a Service Schedule shall be provided to you by the Operator and/or such Third-Party Service Provider specified in that Service Schedule. In such case, the relevant Specified Service shall be provided to you on and subject to these Terms, with references in these Terms to “CoinRaces” (or “we”, “our” or “us”) being read as references to the Operator or Third Party Service Provider specified in the relevant Service Schedule, unless the context provides otherwise, and under no circumstances shall any other person, including any affiliate of the Operator or Third Party Service Provider, be liable to you for the performance of any of the Operator or Third Party Service Provider’s obligations under these Terms.

The Regulatory Regime Governing Digital Assets and Prediction Gaming

The regulatory framework governing Prediction Gaming and Digital Assets remains unsettled, and laws, regulations, or guidelines may be significantly revised and amended which may materially and adversely affect the value of Digital Assets and our services accessed through the Interface to prediction games.

CoinRaces may be required to obtain licences, permits, and/or approvals in any jurisdiction where it seeks to offer the CoinRaces Services. If CoinRaces is unable to obtain such regulatory approvals or if such regulatory approvals are not renewed or are revoked for any reason, the Users in such jurisdictions may be unable to access or use the CoinRaces Services or may be restricted to use part of the CoinRaces Services. In the case where CoinRaces may be requested or forced to suspend or discontinue or to change the operation of the CoinRaces Services in any jurisdiction required by law or authorities, your CoinRaces access may be restricted for an indefinite period of time until the matter is solved.

You shall be responsible for determining whether the use of the CoinRaces Services is legal in your jurisdiction, and you shall not access or use the CoinRaces Services if, to the best of your knowledge they are illegal in your jurisdiction. If you are uncertain on the legal status of Prediction Gaming or Digital Assets in your jurisdiction, please seek independent advice from your legal advisor.

You further represent that you are not (a) the subject of economic or trade sanctions administered or enforced by any governmental authority or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties (including but not limited to the list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) or (b) a citizen, resident, or organized in a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States. You, furthermore, represent that your access and use of any of the CoinRaces Services will fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and that you will not access or use any of our Products to conduct, promote, or otherwise facilitate any illegal activity.

Risk of Loss of Value

The value of Digital Assets are affected by several factors, including but not limited to, the total number of Digital Assets in existence, the continued willingness of market participants to exchange Fiat Currencies for Digital Assets, purchasers’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation of Fiat Currencies, purchasers’ expectations with respect to the rate of deflation of cryptocurrencies, interest rates, currency exchange rates, cyber theft of cryptocurrencies, or news of such theft from digital wallets, investment and trading activities of large investors, monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations, regulatory measures, the global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Thus, all these factors shall affect the value of Digital Assets, which may result in the permanent partial or total loss of the value of a particular Digital Asset. No one shall be obliged to guarantee the liquidity or the market price of any of the Digital Assets staked by you through the CoinRaces Interface. The volatility and unpredictability of the value of Digital Assets relative to Fiat Currencies may result in a significant loss over a short period of time.

Title Transfer Risk

You do not have any oversight or control over the Digital Assets that you have staked in a prediction game, and, subject to the next sentence, any gain or loss from your activities will be borne by you and not us. However, if any smart contract fails then we may impose limits on your ability to use the CoinRaces Interface. Although we are not directly responsible for this risk, nor can we take definitive actions to remove this risk entirely, to reduce it we perform periodic and, in some cases, real-time analysis of code, smart contracts, price feeds and other technical analysis of all systems, entities and third parties that the CoinRaces Interface may interact with or rely on. In the worst-case scenario, if the smart contracts fail, you may not receive the same amount of Digital Assets that you have staked or any at all.

Taxation

The tax treatment of Digital Assets is uncertain, and it is your responsibility to determine whether taxes arise from your use of the CoinRaces Services. You acknowledge and agree that CoinRaces does not provide investment, legal or tax advice and that you shall be solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from your use of the CoinRaces Services. You understand and acknowledge that CoinRaces may be required by Applicable Laws to report information to a tax or governmental authority regarding your transactions through the CoinRaces Interface.

In addition to the risks noted in Section 2 above, the following gives further information on certain risks relating to Digital Assets and the CoinRaces Services.

We do not give any advice, warranty, guarantee or representation about the visibility of CoinRaces or the CoinRaces Services and if you are unsure as to whether CoinRaces is suitable or appropriate to you, you should ask an advisor to give you independent expert advice.

Your right to cancel your account or usage of the CoinRaces Services and/or an account is subject to applicable laws and sanctions which CoinRaces is required to comply with.

Third Party Service Providers

CoinRaces utilises Third Party Service Providers to perform or to assist us in providing the CoinRaces Services. You agree and understand that CoinRaces will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings. You understand that your use of Third-Party Service Providers and your interactions with such third parties is at your own risk. 

You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee, nor are we in any way responsible for, the acts or omissions of third parties including, without limitation, any Third-Party Service Provider or for the performance of their products or services that may relate or otherwise be relevant to the CoinRaces Services. Such products and services are made available (directly or indirectly) by such third parties, and we do not make any express or implied warranties or conditions, including quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. You expressly agree that we shall not be held liable for, and you assume the risk of any matters arising out of or relating to the actions and omissions of such third parties or their products and services.

Technical and System Failure

CoinRaces and/or its Third-Party Service Providers may experience system failures, unplanned interruptions in its network or services, hardware or software defects, security breaches or other causes that could adversely affect CoinRaces’ infrastructure network, which includes the website.

CoinRaces is unable to anticipate when there would be the occurrence of hacks, cyber-attacks, mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and selfish-mining attacks, distributed denials of services or errors, vulnerabilities or defects in CoinRaces, Native Tokens, Users' accounts, or any technology, including but not limited to smart contract technology utilised by different Protocols. Also, CoinRaces is unable to detect these hacks as mentioned earlier, mining attacks, cyber-attacks, distributed denials of services errors, vulnerabilities or defects in a timely manner and does not have sufficient resources to efficiently cope with multiple services incidents happening simultaneously or in rapid succession.

In addition, CoinRaces’ network or Services, including the CoinRaces Interface, could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, equipment breakdown, network connectivity downtime, power losses, or even intentional disruptions of its services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorised users, some of which are beyond CoinRaces’ control.

Although CoinRaces has taken steps against malicious attacks on its appliances or its infrastructure, which are critical for the maintenance of the CoinRaces Interface, there can be no assurance that cyber-attacks, such as distributed denials of service, shall not be attempted in the future, and that CoinRaces’ enhanced security measures shall be effective. Any significant breach of CoinRaces’ security measures or other disruptions resulting in a compromise of the usability, stability and security of CoinRaces’ network or Services, including the CoinRaces Interface, may adversely affect CoinRaces Native Tokens.

CoinRaces shall have no liability for any delay, error, interruption or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure is directly or indirectly resulting from any causes beyond CoinRaces’ control, including but not limited to; acts of God, nature, court of government; failure or interruption in public or private telecommunication networks, communication channels or information system; acts or omission of acts of a party for whom we are not responsible; delay, failure or interruption in, or unavailability of, third-party services; and strikes, lockouts, employment disputes, wars, terrorist acts and riots.

You understand and agree that you use the CoinRaces Services at your own risk. This Section is not exhaustive and does not disclose all the risks associated with Digital Assets and the use of the CoinRaces Services. Therefore, you are recommended to carefully consider whether such use is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial position.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Terms, in no event, shall either Party be liable to the other for any type of incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost winnings, loss of your credential information (username and password), replacement goods, loss of technology, loss of data, or interruption of loss of use of service or equipment, even if such Party was advised of the possibility of such damages, and whether arising under a theory of contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise. CoinRaces shall also have no liability for your emergency and unforeseeable incidents related to your use of the CoinRaces Services such as stolen passwords or hacked accounts.

Neither we nor any of our agents shall be liable for (i) the management or performance of your Digital Assets (including any reduction in the value); and (ii) any taxes or duties payable in respect of your Digital Assets.

Except as expressly provided in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by any Applicable Laws, we disclaim all other representations or warranties, express or implied, made to you, your affiliates or any other person, including without limitation any warranties regarding the quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (regardless of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade) of any service or any goods provided incidental to the CoinRaces Services under these Terms.

Our liabilities in respect of representations and warranties that are excluded under these Terms, at our option, is limited to any one of resupplying, replacing or repairing or paying the cost of the resupplying, replacement or repairing or paying the cost of resupplying the services in respect of which the breach occurred. In no event will our aggregate liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with the CoinRaces Services exceed any fees paid to CoinRaces for your use of the CoinRaces Services, if any, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability. The foregoing limitations of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by any Applicable Laws.

Indemnity

You irrevocably undertake to fully indemnify and hold harmless each of the CoinRaces Operators, CoinRaces Third Party Service Providers, and any other CoinRaces entities and each of their affiliates, contractors, licensors and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, promptly upon demand at any time during your use of the CoinRaces Services, from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, demands, judgements, sums, liabilities, damages, costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, any reasonable attorney's fees, or penalties imposed by any regulatory authority, and reimbursements arising out of or related to the following situations:

  • Your use of, or conduct in accordance with the CoinRaces Services;

  • Your breach of or our enforcement of these Terms; and

  • Your violations of any Applicable Laws, regulation, or rights of any third party during your use of the CoinRaces Services.

If you are obligated to indemnify any of the CoinRaces Operators, its or their affiliates, contractors, licensors and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, any agent, Third Party Service Providers and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, CoinRaces shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether CoinRaces wishes to proceed, or settle, and if so, on what terms or provisions.

Conflicts and Disputes involving your Account

CoinRaces is not liable to you for third party claims on your account or for the use of the CoinRaces Services and CoinRaces may take any action authorised or permitted by these Terms and Applicable Laws without being liable to you, even if such action causes you to incur fees, expenses or damages.

If your account is subject to third party claims, or if CoinRaces receives conflicting instructions from authorised signatories of your account, or if CoinRaces becomes involved in or concerned with a dispute between you and an authorised signatory, CoinRaces has discretion to act as it sees fit, including but not limited to restricting your access to the CoinRaces Services and/or closing your CoinRaces Account, whereby you have registered as an account holder. In such event, you will be liable for all expenses and fees that CoinRaces incurs in connection with the conflict or dispute, including CoinRaces’ internal costs and legal costs, and CoinRaces may charge the costs to your CoinRaces Account where relevant and/or seek alternative means of recovery.

Account Suspension and Termination

These Terms shall be immediately terminated by either closing your CoinRaces Account and/or discontinuing your use of the CoinRaces Services. These Terms and the CoinRaces Services can be terminated with or without notice by CoinRaces if there are reasonable grounds to believe that you breach any terms or provisions stipulated in these Terms, Applicable Laws, or you do not comply with these Terms. Notwithstanding the forgoing, CoinRaces may, in its sole discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of the CoinRaces Services available to you.

The termination of these Terms shall not prevent CoinRaces from seeking any remedies from you in the case where you breach any terms or provisions before such termination.

Any of your ongoing obligations under these Terms, and the provisions regarding (i) CoinRaces’ Intellectual Property (ii) Indemnity (iii) Limitation of Liability and (iv) any other provisions designed to survive, will survive any termination or expiration of the Terms for any reason.

Notice/Announcement

Any notice required or made under these Terms from CoinRaces to you shall be considered validly received when addressed to your last contact information, including but not limited to the latest used email address, mailing address or phone number. Additionally, CoinRaces may provide notices through publishing on its website. You undertake to refer to these materials regularly and promptly. CoinRaces will not be held liable or responsible in any manner for compensation should you incur personal losses arising from ignorance or negligence of the announcements. Any notice required or made under these Terms by you to CoinRaces shall only be made through the CoinRaces Website Support section.

Confidentiality

Subject to the Privacy Policy, you hereby expressly and irrevocably permit and authorise CoinRaces, its employees, and/or any other persons authorised by CoinRaces Operators to disclose all information provided by you to CoinRaces for any purposes stipulated in these Terms.

However, the confidentiality obligation shall not apply to the followings:

  • any information which becomes generally known to the public, other than by reason of any wilful or negligent act or omission of CoinRaces or any of their respective representatives;

  • any information which is required to be disclosed according to any applicable law or any requirement of any competent governmental or statutory authority or according to rules or regulations of any relevant regulatory, administrative, or supervisory body (including but not limited to any relevant stock exchange or securities council); and

  • any information which is required to be disclosed according to any legal procedures issued by any courts or tribunals.

The obligations contained in this Section shall endure, even after the termination of your account and/or discontinuing use of the CoinRaces Services in accordance with and as permitted by the provisions of these Terms, within six (6) years after terminating your CoinRaces Account except and until any confidential information enters the public domain.

9. Governing Law, Resolving Disputes, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this Section carefully as it requires you to arbitrate disputes with us and it involves a waiver of certain rights to bring legal proceedings, including as a class action.

Governing Law

These terms, their subject matter and their formation, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by English Law.

Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period

Please contact CoinRaces first! CoinRaces wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings, if possible. If you have a dispute with CoinRaces, then you should contact CoinRaces and a case number will be assigned. CoinRaces will attempt to resolve your dispute internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute (which discussions shall remain confidential and be subject to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions from use as evidence in any legal proceeding).

In the event the dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a legal claim against CoinRaces, then you agree to set forth the basis of such claim in writing in a "Notice of Claim", as a form of prior notice to CoinRaces. The Notice of Claim must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, (ii) set forth the specific relief sought, (iii) provide the original ticket number, and (iv) include the email address and or blockchain wallet address you used to register for or participated through to be deemed to have operated a CoinRaces Account and /or have utilised the CoinRaces Services. The Notice of Claim should be submitted via email or using a hyperlink provided in your correspondence with CoinRaces. After you have provided the Notice of Claim to CoinRaces, the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be submitted by either CoinRaces or you to arbitration in accordance with the paragraph below.

For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of a dispute to CoinRaces for resolution internally and the delivery of a Notice of Claim to CoinRaces are prerequisites to commencement of an arbitration proceeding (or any other legal proceeding). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or CoinRaces shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and CoinRaces Operators agree that, subject to the paragraph above, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and CoinRaces arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with CoinRaces  (and/or CoinRaces Operators) as a user of the CoinRaces Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) will be determined by mandatory final and binding individual (not class) arbitration.

You and CoinRaces further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including without limitation any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited and there may be more limited discovery than in court.

The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including, if applicable, attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. The arbitration provisions set forth in this Section will survive termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration shall be subject to the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") then in force (the "ICC Rules"). The arbitration will be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. Unless the parties agree otherwise, there shall be only one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language, unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Judgment on any arbitral award may be given in any court having jurisdiction over the party (or over the assets of the party) against whom such an award is rendered.

Limitation Period

Any arbitration against CoinRaces Operators must be commenced by filing a request for arbitration within one-year starting from the date which the claimant first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim, and if no claim has been filed within the one-year period then there shall be no right to any remedy for that claim. The one-year period includes the internal dispute procedure above. If the one-year limitation period to proceed with a claim is prohibited under the Applicable Law, then the claim must be asserted within the shortest time permitted by that Applicable Law.

Notice

The party who intends to seek arbitration after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period set forth in the limitation period paragraph above, must submit a request to the ICC in accordance with the ICC Rules. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or mailing address you have provided. You agree that any notice sent to this email or mailing address shall be deemed effective for all purposes, including without limitation to determinations of adequacy of service. It is your obligation to ensure that the email address and/or mailing address on file with CoinRaces is up-to-date and accurate.

Seat of Arbitration

The seat of arbitration shall be Singapore and the location of any in-person hearing shall be Singapore, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

Governing law of Arbitration

The governing law of arbitration proceedings shall be English Law.

Confidentiality

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential. The existence of the arbitration, any non-public information provided in the arbitration, and any submissions, orders or awards made in the arbitration (together, the "Confidential Information") shall not be disclosed to any non-party except the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel, experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and reinsurers, and any other person necessary to the conduct of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure may be required to fulfil a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings. This confidentiality provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any arbitration brought pursuant to these Terms.

Class Action Waiver

You and CoinRaces agree that any claims relating to these Terms or to your relationship with CoinRaces as a user of the CoinRaces Services shall be brought against the other party in an arbitration on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class or representative action. You and CoinRaces further agree to waive any right for such claims to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action, to the extent permissible by applicable law. Combining or consolidating individual arbitrations into a single arbitration is not permitted without the consent of all parties, including CoinRaces.

Modifications

CoinRaces reserves the right to update, modify, revise, suspend, or make any future changes to the agreement to arbitrate paragraph above regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate, subject to applicable law. You hereby consent and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that your understanding of this Section is up to date. Subject to the applicable law, your continued use of your CoinRaces Account shall be deemed to be your acceptance of any modifications regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate. You agree that if you object to the modifications to this Section, CoinRaces may block access to your CoinRaces Account pending closure of your CoinRaces Account. In such circumstances, the Terms of Conditions prior to modification shall remain in full force and effect pending closure of your CoinRaces Account.

10. Miscellaneous 

Severability

If any provisions of these terms are found by the court of competent authorities to be invalid, void, unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable law, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provisions shall be deleted without affecting the remaining provisions herein.

Force Majeure

CoinRaces will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms because of any cause or condition beyond CoinRaces’ reasonable control.

Variation of Terms

We reserve the right to modify or amend these Terms, the website or any Content on the website from time to time, including for security, legal or regulatory reasons, to reflect updates or changes to the service or functionality of the website. You are advised to check these Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of and are complying with the current versions. Changes are binding on users of the website and will take effect immediately from posting of the revised documentation on the website. You agree to be bound by such variation and your continued use of the website, tools and information made available shall constitute your acceptance of such variation.

CoinRaces Operators

Under these Terms, CoinRaces Operators may change as CoinRaces’ business adjusts, in which case, the changed Operators shall perform their obligations under these Terms with you and provide services to you, and such change does not affect your rights and interest under these Terms. Additionally, the scope of CoinRaces Operators may be expanded due to the provision of new CoinRaces Services, in which case, if you continue to use the CoinRaces Services, it is deemed that you have agreed to jointly execute these Terms with the newly added CoinRaces Operators. In case of a dispute, you shall determine the entity by which these Terms are performed with you and the counterparties of the dispute, depending on the specific circumstances you used and particular action that affects your right or interest.

Assignment

CoinRaces shall be allowed to assign, transfer, or subcontract its rights and/or obligations under these Terms without any notification or consent. You shall not be permitted to assign, transfer, or subcontract any of your rights and/or obligations under these Terms. 

Entire Agreement

These Terms, as amended from time to time, General Terms, Service Schedules, the Privacy Policy, any rules contained on CoinRaces software applications and all other agreements, constitute the sole and entire agreement between CoinRaces and you with respect to your use of the CoinRaces Services and supersede other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, between CoinRaces and you with respect to such subject matter.

No Third-Party Rights

Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create any rights in any creditors or other persons, not a party hereto, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise, and these Terms shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any CoinRaces Operator shall have the right rely on and enforce these Terms as if it were an original party hereto.

Electronic Signatures

You agree that you may tender your signatures to be binding with these Terms and use the CoinRaces Services by electronic means, such as by email or by an online e-signature platform. The parties agree that their digital signature or other forms of electronic acknowledgement, click-wrap agreement, consent, or acceptance, as the case may be constitutes their signature, acceptance, and agreement of these Terms and has the same force and effect as a signature affixed by hand. Furthermore, you agree that by utilising the CoinRaces Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Waiver

The failure of one party to require performance of any provision shall not affect that party's right to require performance at any time thereafter. At the same time, the waiver of one party to seek recovery for the other party's violation of these Terms of any provisions of applicable terms shall not constitute a waiver by that party of any subsequent breach or violation by the other party or of the provision itself.

2. Interface, Regulation and Risk

Your CoinRaces Account is not a bank account, deposit account, savings account or any other type of asset account and should not be treated or characterised as a banking product or service. CoinRaces is not providing any investment-based products, CoinRaces provides an Interface which facilitates your access to predication gaming applications that are managed by smart contracts. Your participation in any predication games does not constitute the provision by CoinRaces of a cryptocurrency or digital asset wallet for storing and manging your digital asset holdings.

CoinRaces Interface provides a web or mobile-based means of access to decentralized protocols on various public blockchains, including but not limited to BNB chain and the TON network that allows users to stake certain digital assets in digital asset prediction games and/or access to the order contract; Supported Contracts (as defined below); decentralized applications; APIs; all software made available by CoinRaces to operate the Interface for blockchain-based assets (collectively, “Digital Assets”), including, without limitation, entering into contracts (“Contracts”) related to a specified event, occurrence, or value (collectively, the “Services”).

SUPPORTED PREDICTION GAME CONTRACTS ARE NOT OFFERED TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE CITIZENS OF, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, OR HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (COLLECTIVELY, “US PERSONS”).  MOREOVER, NONE OF THE COINRACES SERVICES ARE OFFERED TO PERSONS OR ENTITIES WHO RESIDE IN, ARE LOCATED IN, ARE INCORPORATED IN, OR HAVE A REGISTERED OFFICE IN ANY RESTRICTED TERRITORY, AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3 BELOW (ANY SUCH PERSON OR ENTITY FROM A RESTRICTED TERRITORY, A “RESTRICTED PERSON”). WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS; THEREFORE, IF YOU ARE A US PERSON, THEN DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE OR ACCESS THE PREDICTION GAMES CONTRACTS AND IF YOU ARE A RESTRICTED PERSON, THEN DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY OF THE SERVICES, AS DEFINED BELOW.

The Interface is distinct from the CoinRaces software applications and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the prediction games, smart contracts and protocols. The CoinRaces’ software application/s comprises open-source or source-available self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various public blockchains, such as TON, BNB and Ethereum. CoinRaces does not control or operate any version of the Protocol on any blockchain network. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocols or control and/or facilitate trading, swaps or trade execution on any Protocols. When users pay fees for entering into contracts, those fees accrue to the collective users of the protocol as governed by the Protocols Smart Contracts.

To access the Interface, you must use a non-custodial wallet software, which allows you to interact with public blockchains. Your relationship with that non-custodial wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service (with respect to a third-party wallet, the applicable terms of service of such third party). We do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your wallet to our Interface, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference

CoinRaces Interface and software is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold, and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet and make no representations or warranties regarding how any of our Products will operate with any specific wallet. Likewise, you are solely responsible for any associated wallet, and we are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with or as a result of your wallet being compromised.

No CoinRaces Service or entity is authorised or regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for the purposes of crypto asset exchange, crypto asset custody, broader crypto asset services or for making payments in crypto assets. Your Digital Assets, are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service or any other consumer protections or similar schemes in any jurisdiction. 

As part of CoinRaces Services, CoinRaces has engaged various Third-Party Service Providers which may be regulated and authorised in respect of the services they provide. You acknowledge and agree that our providing access to services with Third Party Service Providers shall not be deemed to confer any requirement for authorisation on the part of CoinRaces or constitute CoinRaces being regulated or authorised to provide the services that are provided by the Third-Party Service Providers.

You acknowledge and agree that any Service referred to in a Service Schedule shall be provided to you by the Operator and/or such Third-Party Service Provider specified in that Service Schedule. In such case, the relevant Specified Service shall be provided to you on and subject to these Terms, with references in these Terms to “CoinRaces” (or “we”, “our” or “us”) being read as references to the Operator or Third Party Service Provider specified in the relevant Service Schedule, unless the context provides otherwise, and under no circumstances shall any other person, including any affiliate of the Operator or Third Party Service Provider, be liable to you for the performance of any of the Operator or Third Party Service Provider’s obligations under these Terms.

The Regulatory Regime Governing Digital Assets and Prediction Gaming

The regulatory framework governing Prediction Gaming and Digital Assets remains unsettled, and laws, regulations, or guidelines may be significantly revised and amended which may materially and adversely affect the value of Digital Assets and our services accessed through the Interface to prediction games.

CoinRaces may be required to obtain licences, permits, and/or approvals in any jurisdiction where it seeks to offer the CoinRaces Services. If CoinRaces is unable to obtain such regulatory approvals or if such regulatory approvals are not renewed or are revoked for any reason, the Users in such jurisdictions may be unable to access or use the CoinRaces Services or may be restricted to use part of the CoinRaces Services. In the case where CoinRaces may be requested or forced to suspend or discontinue or to change the operation of the CoinRaces Services in any jurisdiction required by law or authorities, your CoinRaces access may be restricted for an indefinite period of time until the matter is solved.

You shall be responsible for determining whether the use of the CoinRaces Services is legal in your jurisdiction, and you shall not access or use the CoinRaces Services if, to the best of your knowledge they are illegal in your jurisdiction. If you are uncertain on the legal status of Prediction Gaming or Digital Assets in your jurisdiction, please seek independent advice from your legal advisor.

You further represent that you are not (a) the subject of economic or trade sanctions administered or enforced by any governmental authority or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties (including but not limited to the list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) or (b) a citizen, resident, or organized in a jurisdiction or territory that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide, territory-wide, or regional economic sanctions by the United States. You, furthermore, represent that your access and use of any of the CoinRaces Services will fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and that you will not access or use any of our Products to conduct, promote, or otherwise facilitate any illegal activity.

Risk of Loss of Value

The value of Digital Assets are affected by several factors, including but not limited to, the total number of Digital Assets in existence, the continued willingness of market participants to exchange Fiat Currencies for Digital Assets, purchasers’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation of Fiat Currencies, purchasers’ expectations with respect to the rate of deflation of cryptocurrencies, interest rates, currency exchange rates, cyber theft of cryptocurrencies, or news of such theft from digital wallets, investment and trading activities of large investors, monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and revaluations, regulatory measures, the global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations. Thus, all these factors shall affect the value of Digital Assets, which may result in the permanent partial or total loss of the value of a particular Digital Asset. No one shall be obliged to guarantee the liquidity or the market price of any of the Digital Assets staked by you through the CoinRaces Interface. The volatility and unpredictability of the value of Digital Assets relative to Fiat Currencies may result in a significant loss over a short period of time.

Title Transfer Risk

You do not have any oversight or control over the Digital Assets that you have staked in a prediction game, and, subject to the next sentence, any gain or loss from your activities will be borne by you and not us. However, if any smart contract fails then we may impose limits on your ability to use the CoinRaces Interface. Although we are not directly responsible for this risk, nor can we take definitive actions to remove this risk entirely, to reduce it we perform periodic and, in some cases, real-time analysis of code, smart contracts, price feeds and other technical analysis of all systems, entities and third parties that the CoinRaces Interface may interact with or rely on. In the worst-case scenario, if the smart contracts fail, you may not receive the same amount of Digital Assets that you have staked or any at all.

Taxation

The tax treatment of Digital Assets is uncertain, and it is your responsibility to determine whether taxes arise from your use of the CoinRaces Services. You acknowledge and agree that CoinRaces does not provide investment, legal or tax advice and that you shall be solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from your use of the CoinRaces Services. You understand and acknowledge that CoinRaces may be required by Applicable Laws to report information to a tax or governmental authority regarding your transactions through the CoinRaces Interface.

Your right to cancel your account or usage of the CoinRaces Services and/or an account is subject to applicable laws and sanctions which CoinRaces is required to comply with.

Third Party Service Providers

CoinRaces utilises Third Party Service Providers to perform or to assist us in providing the CoinRaces Services. You agree and understand that CoinRaces will not be liable to you for any loss or damage, of any sort incurred as the result of such dealings. You understand that your use of Third-Party Service Providers and your interactions with such third parties is at your own risk. 

You acknowledge that we cannot guarantee, nor are we in any way responsible for, the acts or omissions of third parties including, without limitation, any Third-Party Service Provider or for the performance of their products or services that may relate or otherwise be relevant to the CoinRaces Services. Such products and services are made available (directly or indirectly) by such third parties, and we do not make any express or implied warranties or conditions, including quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. You expressly agree that we shall not be held liable for, and you assume the risk of any matters arising out of or relating to the actions and omissions of such third parties or their products and services.

Technical and System Failure

CoinRaces and/or its Third-Party Service Providers may experience system failures, unplanned interruptions in its network or services, hardware or software defects, security breaches or other causes that could adversely affect CoinRaces’ infrastructure network, which includes the website.

CoinRaces is unable to anticipate when there would be the occurrence of hacks, cyber-attacks, mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining power attacks and selfish-mining attacks, distributed denials of services or errors, vulnerabilities or defects in CoinRaces, Native Tokens, Users' accounts, or any technology, including but not limited to smart contract technology utilised by different Protocols. Also, CoinRaces is unable to detect these hacks as mentioned earlier, mining attacks, cyber-attacks, distributed denials of services errors, vulnerabilities or defects in a timely manner and does not have sufficient resources to efficiently cope with multiple services incidents happening simultaneously or in rapid succession.

In addition, CoinRaces’ network or Services, including the CoinRaces Interface, could be disrupted by numerous events, including natural disasters, equipment breakdown, network connectivity downtime, power losses, or even intentional disruptions of its services, such as disruptions caused by software viruses or attacks by unauthorised users, some of which are beyond CoinRaces’ control.

Although CoinRaces has taken steps against malicious attacks on its appliances or its infrastructure, which are critical for the maintenance of the CoinRaces Interface, there can be no assurance that cyber-attacks, such as distributed denials of service, shall not be attempted in the future, and that CoinRaces’ enhanced security measures shall be effective. Any significant breach of CoinRaces’ security measures or other disruptions resulting in a compromise of the usability, stability and security of CoinRaces’ network or Services, including the CoinRaces Interface, may adversely affect CoinRaces Native Tokens.

CoinRaces shall have no liability for any delay, error, interruption or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms where the delay or failure is directly or indirectly resulting from any causes beyond CoinRaces’ control, including but not limited to; acts of God, nature, court of government; failure or interruption in public or private telecommunication networks, communication channels or information system; acts or omission of acts of a party for whom we are not responsible; delay, failure or interruption in, or unavailability of, third-party services; and strikes, lockouts, employment disputes, wars, terrorist acts and riots.

You understand and agree that you use the CoinRaces Services at your own risk. This Section is not exhaustive and does not disclose all the risks associated with Digital Assets and the use of the CoinRaces Services. Therefore, you are recommended to carefully consider whether such use is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial position.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Terms, in no event, shall either Party be liable to the other for any type of incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, indirect or consequential damages, including but not limited to lost revenue, lost winnings, loss of your credential information (username and password), replacement goods, loss of technology, loss of data, or interruption of loss of use of service or equipment, even if such Party was advised of the possibility of such damages, and whether arising under a theory of contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise. CoinRaces shall also have no liability for your emergency and unforeseeable incidents related to your use of the CoinRaces Services such as stolen passwords or hacked accounts.

Neither we nor any of our agents shall be liable for (i) the management or performance of your Digital Assets (including any reduction in the value); and (ii) any taxes or duties payable in respect of your Digital Assets.

Except as expressly provided in these Terms, to the maximum extent permitted by any Applicable Laws, we disclaim all other representations or warranties, express or implied, made to you, your affiliates or any other person, including without limitation any warranties regarding the quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (regardless of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade) of any service or any goods provided incidental to the CoinRaces Services under these Terms.

Our liabilities in respect of representations and warranties that are excluded under these Terms, at our option, is limited to any one of resupplying, replacing or repairing or paying the cost of the resupplying, replacement or repairing or paying the cost of resupplying the services in respect of which the breach occurred. In no event will our aggregate liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with the CoinRaces Services exceed any fees paid to CoinRaces for your use of the CoinRaces Services, if any, during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim for liability. The foregoing limitations of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by any Applicable Laws.

Indemnity

You irrevocably undertake to fully indemnify and hold harmless each of the CoinRaces Operators, CoinRaces Third Party Service Providers, and any other CoinRaces entities and each of their affiliates, contractors, licensors and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, promptly upon demand at any time during your use of the CoinRaces Services, from and against any and all losses, claims, actions, proceedings, damages, demands, judgements, sums, liabilities, damages, costs, charges and expenses, including but not limited to, any reasonable attorney's fees, or penalties imposed by any regulatory authority, and reimbursements arising out of or related to the following situations:

  • Your use of, or conduct in accordance with the CoinRaces Services;

  • Your breach of or our enforcement of these Terms; and

  • Your violations of any Applicable Laws, regulation, or rights of any third party during your use of the CoinRaces Services.

If you are obligated to indemnify any of the CoinRaces Operators, its or their affiliates, contractors, licensors and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, any agent, Third Party Service Providers and their respective successors, heirs and assigns, CoinRaces shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to control any action or proceeding and to determine whether CoinRaces wishes to proceed, or settle, and if so, on what terms or provisions.

Conflicts and Disputes involving your Account

CoinRaces is not liable to you for third party claims on your account or for the use of the CoinRaces Services and CoinRaces may take any action authorised or permitted by these Terms and Applicable Laws without being liable to you, even if such action causes you to incur fees, expenses or damages.

If your account is subject to third party claims, or if CoinRaces receives conflicting instructions from authorised signatories of your account, or if CoinRaces becomes involved in or concerned with a dispute between you and an authorised signatory, CoinRaces has discretion to act as it sees fit, including but not limited to restricting your access to the CoinRaces Services and/or closing your CoinRaces Account, whereby you have registered as an account holder. In such event, you will be liable for all expenses and fees that CoinRaces incurs in connection with the conflict or dispute, including CoinRaces’ internal costs and legal costs, and CoinRaces may charge the costs to your CoinRaces Account where relevant and/or seek alternative means of recovery.

Account Suspension and Termination

These Terms shall be immediately terminated by either closing your CoinRaces Account and/or discontinuing your use of the CoinRaces Services. These Terms and the CoinRaces Services can be terminated with or without notice by CoinRaces if there are reasonable grounds to believe that you breach any terms or provisions stipulated in these Terms, Applicable Laws, or you do not comply with these Terms. Notwithstanding the forgoing, CoinRaces may, in its sole discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice and at any time, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any portion of the CoinRaces Services available to you.

The termination of these Terms shall not prevent CoinRaces from seeking any remedies from you in the case where you breach any terms or provisions before such termination.

Any of your ongoing obligations under these Terms, and the provisions regarding (i) CoinRaces’ Intellectual Property (ii) Indemnity (iii) Limitation of Liability and (iv) any other provisions designed to survive, will survive any termination or expiration of the Terms for any reason.

Notice/Announcement

Any notice required or made under these Terms from CoinRaces to you shall be considered validly received when addressed to your last contact information, including but not limited to the latest used email address, mailing address or phone number. Additionally, CoinRaces may provide notices through publishing on its website. You undertake to refer to these materials regularly and promptly. CoinRaces will not be held liable or responsible in any manner for compensation should you incur personal losses arising from ignorance or negligence of the announcements. Any notice required or made under these Terms by you to CoinRaces shall only be made through the CoinRaces Website Support section.

Confidentiality

Subject to the Privacy Policy, you hereby expressly and irrevocably permit and authorise CoinRaces, its employees, and/or any other persons authorised by CoinRaces Operators to disclose all information provided by you to CoinRaces for any purposes stipulated in these Terms.

However, the confidentiality obligation shall not apply to the followings:

  • any information which becomes generally known to the public, other than by reason of any wilful or negligent act or omission of CoinRaces or any of their respective representatives;

  • any information which is required to be disclosed according to any applicable law or any requirement of any competent governmental or statutory authority or according to rules or regulations of any relevant regulatory, administrative, or supervisory body (including but not limited to any relevant stock exchange or securities council); and

  • any information which is required to be disclosed according to any legal procedures issued by any courts or tribunals.

The obligations contained in this Section shall endure, even after the termination of your account and/or discontinuing use of the CoinRaces Services in accordance with and as permitted by the provisions of these Terms, within six (6) years after terminating your CoinRaces Account except and until any confidential information enters the public domain.

9. Governing Law, Resolving Disputes, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this Section carefully as it requires you to arbitrate disputes with us and it involves a waiver of certain rights to bring legal proceedings, including as a class action.

Governing Law

These terms, their subject matter and their formation, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them are governed by English Law.

Notice of Claim and Dispute Resolution Period

Please contact CoinRaces first! CoinRaces wants to address your concerns without resorting to formal legal proceedings, if possible. If you have a dispute with CoinRaces, then you should contact CoinRaces and a case number will be assigned. CoinRaces will attempt to resolve your dispute internally as soon as possible. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute (which discussions shall remain confidential and be subject to applicable rules protecting settlement discussions from use as evidence in any legal proceeding).

In the event the dispute cannot be resolved satisfactorily, and you wish to assert a legal claim against CoinRaces, then you agree to set forth the basis of such claim in writing in a "Notice of Claim", as a form of prior notice to CoinRaces. The Notice of Claim must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, (ii) set forth the specific relief sought, (iii) provide the original ticket number, and (iv) include the email address and or blockchain wallet address you used to register for or participated through to be deemed to have operated a CoinRaces Account and /or have utilised the CoinRaces Services. The Notice of Claim should be submitted via email or using a hyperlink provided in your correspondence with CoinRaces. After you have provided the Notice of Claim to CoinRaces, the dispute referenced in the Notice of Claim may be submitted by either CoinRaces or you to arbitration in accordance with the paragraph below.

For the avoidance of doubt, the submission of a dispute to CoinRaces for resolution internally and the delivery of a Notice of Claim to CoinRaces are prerequisites to commencement of an arbitration proceeding (or any other legal proceeding). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or CoinRaces shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and CoinRaces Operators agree that, subject to the paragraph above, any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and CoinRaces arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with CoinRaces  (and/or CoinRaces Operators) as a user of the CoinRaces Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) will be determined by mandatory final and binding individual (not class) arbitration.

You and CoinRaces further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including without limitation any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Agreement to Arbitrate, or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited and there may be more limited discovery than in court.

The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including, if applicable, attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. The arbitration provisions set forth in this Section will survive termination of these Terms.

Arbitration Rules

The arbitration shall be subject to the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") then in force (the "ICC Rules"). The arbitration will be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC. Unless the parties agree otherwise, there shall be only one arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language, unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Judgment on any arbitral award may be given in any court having jurisdiction over the party (or over the assets of the party) against whom such an award is rendered.

Limitation Period

Any arbitration against CoinRaces Operators must be commenced by filing a request for arbitration within one-year starting from the date which the claimant first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim, and if no claim has been filed within the one-year period then there shall be no right to any remedy for that claim. The one-year period includes the internal dispute procedure above. If the one-year limitation period to proceed with a claim is prohibited under the Applicable Law, then the claim must be asserted within the shortest time permitted by that Applicable Law.

Notice

The party who intends to seek arbitration after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period set forth in the limitation period paragraph above, must submit a request to the ICC in accordance with the ICC Rules. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice at the email address or mailing address you have provided. You agree that any notice sent to this email or mailing address shall be deemed effective for all purposes, including without limitation to determinations of adequacy of service. It is your obligation to ensure that the email address and/or mailing address on file with CoinRaces is up-to-date and accurate.

Seat of Arbitration

The seat of arbitration shall be Singapore and the location of any in-person hearing shall be Singapore, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

Governing law of Arbitration

The governing law of arbitration proceedings shall be English Law.

Confidentiality

The parties agree that the arbitration shall be kept confidential. The existence of the arbitration, any non-public information provided in the arbitration, and any submissions, orders or awards made in the arbitration (together, the "Confidential Information") shall not be disclosed to any non-party except the tribunal, the ICC, the parties, their counsel, experts, witnesses, accountants and auditors, insurers and reinsurers, and any other person necessary to the conduct of the arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent that disclosure may be required to fulfil a legal duty, protect or pursue a legal right, or enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings. This confidentiality provision shall survive termination of these Terms and any arbitration brought pursuant to these Terms.

Class Action Waiver

You and CoinRaces agree that any claims relating to these Terms or to your relationship with CoinRaces as a user of the CoinRaces Services shall be brought against the other party in an arbitration on an individual basis only and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class or representative action. You and CoinRaces further agree to waive any right for such claims to be brought, heard, or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action, to the extent permissible by applicable law. Combining or consolidating individual arbitrations into a single arbitration is not permitted without the consent of all parties, including CoinRaces.

Modifications

CoinRaces reserves the right to update, modify, revise, suspend, or make any future changes to the agreement to arbitrate paragraph above regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate, subject to applicable law. You hereby consent and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that your understanding of this Section is up to date. Subject to the applicable law, your continued use of your CoinRaces Account shall be deemed to be your acceptance of any modifications regarding the parties’ Agreement to Arbitrate. You agree that if you object to the modifications to this Section, CoinRaces may block access to your CoinRaces Account pending closure of your CoinRaces Account. In such circumstances, the Terms of Conditions prior to modification shall remain in full force and effect pending closure of your CoinRaces Account.

10. Miscellaneous 

Severability

If any provisions of these terms are found by the court of competent authorities to be invalid, void, unlawful or unenforceable under any applicable law, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provisions shall be deleted without affecting the remaining provisions herein.

Force Majeure

CoinRaces will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms because of any cause or condition beyond CoinRaces’ reasonable control.

Variation of Terms

We reserve the right to modify or amend these Terms, the website or any Content on the website from time to time, including for security, legal or regulatory reasons, to reflect updates or changes to the service or functionality of the website. You are advised to check these Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of and are complying with the current versions. Changes are binding on users of the website and will take effect immediately from posting of the revised documentation on the website. You agree to be bound by such variation and your continued use of the website, tools and information made available shall constitute your acceptance of such variation.

CoinRaces Operators

Under these Terms, CoinRaces Operators may change as CoinRaces’ business adjusts, in which case, the changed Operators shall perform their obligations under these Terms with you and provide services to you, and such change does not affect your rights and interest under these Terms. Additionally, the scope of CoinRaces Operators may be expanded due to the provision of new CoinRaces Services, in which case, if you continue to use the CoinRaces Services, it is deemed that you have agreed to jointly execute these Terms with the newly added CoinRaces Operators. In case of a dispute, you shall determine the entity by which these Terms are performed with you and the counterparties of the dispute, depending on the specific circumstances you used and particular action that affects your right or interest.

Assignment

CoinRaces shall be allowed to assign, transfer, or subcontract its rights and/or obligations under these Terms without any notification or consent. You shall not be permitted to assign, transfer, or subcontract any of your rights and/or obligations under these Terms. 

Entire Agreement

These Terms, as amended from time to time, General Terms, Service Schedules, the Privacy Policy, any rules contained on CoinRaces software applications and all other agreements, constitute the sole and entire agreement between CoinRaces and you with respect to your use of the CoinRaces Services and supersede other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, agreements, understandings, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, between CoinRaces and you with respect to such subject matter.

No Third-Party Rights

Nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create any rights in any creditors or other persons, not a party hereto, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise, and these Terms shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any CoinRaces Operator shall have the right rely on and enforce these Terms as if it were an original party hereto.

Electronic Signatures

You agree that you may tender your signatures to be binding with these Terms and use the CoinRaces Services by electronic means, such as by email or by an online e-signature platform. The parties agree that their digital signature or other forms of electronic acknowledgement, click-wrap agreement, consent, or acceptance, as the case may be constitutes their signature, acceptance, and agreement of these Terms and has the same force and effect as a signature affixed by hand. Furthermore, you agree that by utilising the CoinRaces Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Waiver

The failure of one party to require performance of any provision shall not affect that party's right to require performance at any time thereafter. At the same time, the waiver of one party to seek recovery for the other party's violation of these Terms of any provisions of applicable terms shall not constitute a waiver by that party of any subsequent breach or violation by the other party or of the provision itself.
