1.1 This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you, and CD PROJEKT S.A. (further: “CD PROJEKT RED” - as CD PROJEKT RED is the game development studio which formally is a part of the company CD PROJEKT S.A.). We are seated at ul. Jagiellońska 74; 03-301, Warsaw, Poland. This Agreement applies to our video game GWENT, both its multiplayer mode and single player campaigns, any game key or code giving you access to it or any parts of it, GWENT Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency (defined below), esports tournaments and events, plus any and all official products and services related to GWENT, including (but not limited to) user accounts, customer and technical support, plus official forums, wikis, blogs and social media services (we will refer to “GWENT” to cover all these things). This Agreement will be binding on you and us once you download, install or use GWENT. If you do not agree to it, please do not use GWENT.

This Agreement applies only to GWENT. To be clear, general CD PROJEKT RED User Agreement does NOT apply to GWENT.

Important: please also make sure you read our (Fan Content Guidelines) and GWENT Privacy Policy, which are binding to you if you play GWENT.

2.1 If you are over 18, then welcome to GWENT! If you are between 16 and 18 before we extend an equally warm welcome, please ask your parent or guardian to review and approve this Agreement on your behalf (because in some countries people under a certain age cannot legally enter fully into contracts like this Agreement), plus they should supervise your use of GWENT. GWENT has age ratings, which will be displayed when you purchase the game. We are sorry to say that, but if you are under 16 you are not allowed to download, play or otherwise access GWENT.

3.1 Although it may sound strange since GWENT is free to play, we need to give you permission to play it! Therefore, CD PROJEKT RED gives you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable licence to display, view, download, install, play and use GWENT on authorized devices/platforms. This licence is for your personal use only (so you cannot give, ‘sell’, lend, gift, assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer it to someone else) and does not give you any ownership rights in GWENT.

4.1 User accounts needed. In order to play GWENT on PC you need to create a GOG user account. Additionally, you need to use the GOG Galaxy distribution system (or Steam account and Steam client, if you play on Steam) to download/play the game. Please bear in mind these GOG and Steam services have their own terms and conditions. Rules concerning playing on your mobile platform are described in point 19 below.

4.2 Protecting user accounts. You are responsible for protecting your user account and for your account activities. In particular, keep your password secure! In order to protect GWENT, GWENT users and ourselves, CD PROJEKT RED reserves the right if really necessary to reject any user account if it would breach this GWENT User Agreement or other legal rules linked to in this document.

5.1 Minimum requirements. GWENT will have minimum requirements depending on your chosen device/system, which you will be notified of. Please make sure you meet these requirements before downloading the game! To play GWENT online you will need Internet access too (which is your responsibility to obtain and maintain). There is no DRM or copy-protection of any kind in GWENT.

5.2 Monitoring. In order to prevent cheating and other things prohibited by Section 8 below and to protect the integrity of GWENT and enforce this Agreement, CD PROJEKT RED may deploy anti-cheat and/or other software tools that run in the background of your device or related devices/peripherals when you use GWENT.

6.1 Our right to patch, update and change GWENT. We reserve the right to patch, update or change GWENT over time (for example to add or remove features, to resolve software bugs or to balance the game or adjust the game economy), which might result in mandatory and/or automatic updates (older, updated versions may become unusable over time as a result). Yes, this may eventually mean card nerfs – they are part of keeping the game alive and fresh. As part of these patches, updates or changes, we may need to impose limits on, or remove/restrict access to, certain game features (without notice or liability). We need these rights in order to keep GWENT running efficiently. Please note that with the introduction of Project GWENTfinity, we do not plan to introduce any patches, updates or changes other than automatic changes described below. Because of that, GWENT might become unplayable after a certain period of time on some players’ hardware, might not be playable on newer hardware or operating systems, or might run less smoothly.

6.2 Automatic balance changes. As a part of Project GWENTfinity, we introduce an automatic way to balance the game through community votes. Every once in a while players will have a chance to vote on a particular balance change to existing cards. Once the voting concludes, the changes with the most votes are automatically introduced to GWENT. You can read up on specifics of this mechanism here. While we intend for this process to be fully automated, we reserve the right to interfere with these changes or stop the mechanism altogether if it is needed to keep GWENT running efficiently, for example if the changes have a negative impact on the game's balance or introduce bugs.

7.1 GWENT ownership. GWENT, including (but not limited to) its visual components, characters, story, items, music, graphics, computer code, user interface, look and feel, game mechanics, gameplay, audio, video, text, layout, databases, data and all other content and all Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) and other legal and exploitation rights regarding them, are either owned by CD PROJEKT RED or we license them from third parties. All rights in GWENT are reserved except as we have explained in this Agreement. You may not use or exploit any part of GWENT except as explained in this Agreement. GWENT and its Intellectual Property Rights are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws worldwide.

7.2 “Intellectual Property Rights" means any and all copyright, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, brand names, logos, goodwill, get up, trade, business or domain names, design rights, database rights, patents, rights in inventions, know-how, trade secrets and confidential information, rights in databases, rights in computer software, moral rights, publicity rights, performance rights, synchronisation rights, mechanical rights, publishing, rental, lending and transmission rights and other intellectual property and exploitation rights of a similar or corresponding character which may now or in the future subsist in any part of the world, in all cases whether or not registered or registrable including all granted applications and all applications for registration, division, continuation, reissuance, renewals, extensions, restorations and reversions regarding any of the same.

7.3 Third party property. CD PROJEKT RED respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that your work has been infringed in or via GWENT, please contact us via legal@cdprojektred.com.

There are some more rules to follow if you want to play GWENT, including (but not limited to) our Fan Content Guidelines. Please read the rules below and the Fan Content Guidelines carefully since failure to follow them (particularly those in relation to cheating) will be considered a material breach of this Agreement, which could lead to cancellation or suspension of your access to GWENT. In particularly serious cases we retain the right to prohibit your future access to the game.

Here are the rules:

1. Personal enjoyment. Only use GWENT for your personal enjoyment and not for any commercial or political purposes.
2. Restricted access.

Do not cause or take deliberate and repetitive advantage of bugs. We remind you of the serious consequences of cheating (see section 8 above).
6. Account misuse. Do not share, ‘buy’, ‘sell’, transfer, gift, lend, steal or misappropriate user accounts or GWENT access keys/codes (all of which is our property).

This applies especially in any communications between users. Do not spoil the experience of other players by unsportsmanlike or otherwise inadequate behaviour. Be nice to each other and play fair, please!

9.1 Shared User Content. GWENT may give you the ability to share content in-game (for example to share text, photos or links with users) – we will call this “Shared User Content". Note this is different to stuff which you can make using GWENT assets (see our “Fan Content" section for more about that). If you do share Shared User Content, then it is at your responsibility and risk. CD PROJEKT RED has the right (but not the obligation) to check and remove any inappropriate or illegal Shared User Content. But to be clear: CD PROJEKT RED does not assume any responsibility or liability for Shared User Content. As far as we and you are concerned, you own any Shared User Content you created, but we need you to give us certain rights over it so that we can actually transmit it via GWENT. So, when you make your Shared User Content available through GWENT you give us a non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-free licence to use, modify, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, communicate and publicly display/perform your Shared User Content in connection with GWENT.

9.2 Fan Content. Please refer to our Fan Content Guidelines for information on how you can make community-generated GWENT content and do related GWENT stuff like make fan art or websites or blogs, create videos/streams/Let’s Plays.

10.1 How to use Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency. GWENT allows you to acquire virtual, in-game digital items and content including but not limited to GWENT card packs, cosmetic and in-game enhancements, campaigns and other downloadable content (“Virtual Goods”). You may at our discretion be able to acquire certain Virtual Goods with “real world” money, or virtual currencies such as ‘Ore’ (which you can earn by playing the game) and/or ‘Card Scraps’ (which you can earn through the GWENT in-game crafting system and/or also by playing the game) or ‘Meteorite Powder’ (which you can acquire with “real world” money and/or earn by completing certain in-game activities) (we will refer to them together as “Virtual Currency”). Only GWENT users can use Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency.

10.2 Payments and refunds. Any content purchased in the GWENT in-game store or a store of the platform you use to access GWENT will be purchased from the applicable platform and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the given platform. Please check those terms and conditions as well as law applicable in your jurisdiction in case you would like to get a refund and follow them accordingly. During Project GWENTfinity, we reserve the right to refrain from restoring any Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency which was not purchased with “real world” money.

10.3 Legal requirements. Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency are digital items only with no cash-value or real world existence and cannot be ‘bought’, ‘sold’, gifted, transferred or redeemed, whether or not for other Virtual Goods, Virtual Currency, ‘real world’ money, goods, services or items of monetary value. Trading Virtual Goods or Currency is prohibited (unless we specifically permit otherwise in GWENT). Your right to use any Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency that you obtain is limited to a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use such Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency solely for your personal entertainment and non-commercial use in GWENT only. You have no property interest or right or title in any Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency, which remain CD PROJEKT RED’s property. CD PROJEKT RED reserves the right to request the applicable platform to reverse, change or amend Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency transactions or other matters if necessary to protect GWENT or to enforce this Agreement.

10.4 Limits. In order to protect GWENT, GWENT users and to stop fraud, CD PROJEKT RED may impose limits on use of Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency (including transaction limits and balance amounts).

10.5 Expiry. Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency do not expire, but we reserve the right to change or amend that if necessary. We are not obliged to provide Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency to you.

10.6 Virtual Goods/Currency may change. The existence of a particular offer for Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency is not a commitment by us to maintain or continue to make the Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency or that offer available in the future. The scope, variety and type of Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency that you may obtain can change at any time and we have the right to manage, regulate, control, modify or remove Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods in our sole discretion if we consider any of this necessary for the ongoing operation of GWENT or for other legitimate reasons, in which case we will have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights. We will endeavor where possible to give you reasonable notice of any such changes and to explain the reasons why. Additionally we may, in our sole discretion, completely and indefinitely withdraw any and all offers and availability of all Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency. Where possible, we will try to give you at least sixty (60) days advance notice of such withdrawal of all Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency by posting a note on playgwent.com.

10.7 Card rarity. GWENT card packs (card kegs) yield random cards of different categories (regular, rare, epic, or legendary) with the following probability:
a) Each card keg contains at least 1 rare card.
b) One epic card can be found on average in 5 card kegs.
c) One legendary card can be found on average in 20 card kegs.

11.1 We have prepared an additional set of rules (which we call the GWENT Masters Official Rules”) which, before the introduction of Project GWENTfinity, applied to all GWENT esports events and tournaments. While official GWENT esports events and tournaments are no longer organized, we want to keep the GWENT Masters Official Rules in place as a reference point for our Community Tournament Guidelines , which should be followed if you decide to organize a GWENT Community Tournament . Note that our GWENT User License Agreement, GWENT Privacy Policy and CD PROJEKT Privacy Policy will also apply to such Tournament.

12.1 GWENT is a game inspired by player feedback. If you wish to share your experience, just contact the support team via https://playgwent.com/contact-support. However, we wouldn’t be the legal department, if we hadn’t included a disclaimer, wouldn’t we? If you decide to contact us, please remember that we may choose not to use or accept player suggestions and, should we somehow incorporate a suggestion into the game, we are not in any way obliged to reimburse you financially (or in any other fashion).

Moreover, if sometimes something goes wrong with the game, CD PROJEKT RED may ask you to send a crash log report in order to improve the game code for future use. These reports may include some personal data (for more information, please see CD PROJEKT RED Privacy Policy).

13.1 You might get links from us to third party websites or content through GWENT. You may also access GWENT through different platforms and devices. Using them is up to you – we cannot promise they will work, what they will be like or if they are free. Our partner devices/platforms may be subject to their own legal terms, compliance with which is your sole responsibility. They may also offer complementary features to GWENT (such as digital money wallets) – again, this is a matter solely for you and them.

14.1 Our warranties. We warrant that: (i) we have the right to enter into this Agreement and to grant you the licence to use GWENT in section 3; (ii) we will take reasonable care with GWENT and your use of it (within the scope of Project GWENTfinity, as explained in the Overview) and (iii) we will use reasonable endeavors to comply with applicable laws in performing our obligations to you under this Agreement.

14.2 Your representations and warranties. You represent and warrant that you have the full power and ability to enter into this Licence Agreement and will follow fully its terms. You also represent and warrant that any Shared User Content, which you transmit via GWENT does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party. You further represent and warrant that you will not use or contribute Shared User Content that is unlawful, tortious, defamatory, obscene, invasive of the privacy of another person, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful or racist.

14.3 Limitation of liability

This section does not apply to you if you are resident in the European Union or countries whose laws specifically prohibit the following liability limitations, but it does apply to you if you are resident in the USA.

(i) OUR DISCLAIMERS. Except as we have set out elsewhere in this Agreement, CD PROJEKT RED and our affiliates, partners and licensors disclaim any implied or express warranties or representations regarding GWENT. This includes without limitation any allegations of: (i) negligence; OR
(ii) lack of satisfactory quality, merchantability or fitness for purpose; or
(iii) the existence of any faults or errors; or (iv) infringement of any third party intellectual property rights. GWENT is otherwise provided to you on an "as is", “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranties or representations of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, which might apply to GWENT, including without limitation: implied warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, any warranties that may arise from course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade, freedom from viruses or errors OR DEFECTS, and/or any warranties as to the accuracy, LEGALITY, reliability or quality of any content or information contained within GWENT. We do not warrant that GWENT will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or THAT THE GAME WILL BE free of viruses or other harmful components.

(II) OUR LIABILITY LIMITATION. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CD PROJEKT RED, its affiliates, partners and licensors shall not be liable for any loss, damage or harm of any kind arising from the use or inability to use or ‘loss’ relating to GWENT. CD PROJEKT RED, its affiliates, partners and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special, punitive or exemplary damages or any other damages arising out of or connected with THE SAME. This includes if you suffer damage because you cannot use GWENT (either temporarily or permanently). None of the above will be affected in any way even if CD PROJEKT RED or its affiliates, partners or licensors are at fault (whether through negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty or strict liability) and even if you or we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

(III) OUR LIABILITY CAP. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH GWENT OR THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE ACTUALLY PAID US (IF ANY) IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTERS UNDERLYING ANY CLAIM(S).

(IV) YOUR INDEMNITY TO US. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless on demand CD PROJEKT RED, its affiliates, licensors and partners from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including legal fees, in connection with: (1) any alleged or actual breach of this Agreement; (2) the use of GWENT by you or any person on your behalf; (3) INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF CD PROJEKT RED; and/or (4) YOUR SHARED USER CONTENT. If claims are brought against us, then YOU WILL COOPERATE FULLY WITH US AND we reserve the right to take over their defence. YOU WILL NOT SETTLE ANY SUCH CLAIMS WITHOUT OUR PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT.

(V) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. YOU AGREE THAT ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR HARM YOU SUFFER ARE NOT IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT, and other remedies will be adequate, such that you are not entitled TO INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF AGAINST US.
(VI) Residents of California. If you reside in the state of California you are entitled to the following specific consumer rights information: you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the Department of Consumer Affairs by mail at 400 R St., Suite 1080, Sacramento, California, 95814, or by telephone at 916.445.1254. California residents expressly agree to waive California Civil Code Sec. 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend the claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

15.1 Your termination rights. You can terminate this Agreement by permanently stopping use of GWENT at any time. Termination will not affect already existing rights or obligations of us or you.

15.2 Our termination rights. We may cancel or suspend your access to GWENT if you materially breach this Agreement, which includes but is not limited to a breach of this Agreement which is serious and/or which could cause real harm to GWENT, GWENT users, CD PROJEKT RED, GOG or other matters governed under this Agreement. In particular, it applies to the GWENT rules we specify in section 8 above (for example, no cheating or account misuse). If we cancel or suspend your account in this way, we will try reasonably to contact you to explain why we have done this and what (if anything) you can do as a result. Cancellation or suspension will include you losing access to Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency. If we cancel or suspend your account under this section, then we will not have any obligations or liabilities to you at all.

15.3 Stopping GWENT. Upon introduction of Project GWENTfinity, while it is unlikely, GWENT might become unplayable after a certain period of time. If we have to stop providing access to GWENT permanently (not because of any breach by you or temporary issues) on a certain platform or on all platforms, we will try to give you at least one hundred and twenty (120) days advance notice by posting a note on playgwent.com. In this case, we will not have any future obligations or liabilities to you (this does not affect any pre-existing obligations or liabilities.

16.1 Neither of us will be liable to the other regarding any performance, or non-performance, or delay, in whole or in part, due to Force Majeure.

“Force Majeure" means any cause preventing a party from performing any or all of its obligations which arises from or is attributable to acts, events, omissions or accidents beyond the reasonable control of the party so prevented including strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes (other than any such dispute involving the workforce of the party so prevented), nuclear accident or acts of God, war or terrorist activity, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage (excluding malicious damage involving the employees of the affected party or its sub-contractors), compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, industrial action by employees of any providers of electrical power, failure of technical facilities, hacking, denial of service or other IT attack, deployment of IT virus malware or similar technology, fire, flood, or storm or default of suppliers or sub-contractors.

17.1 If you are resident in the European Union and elsewhere in the world (but not the USA):

You and we agree that your use of GWENT, and this Agreement, and any issues arising out of them, will be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of Poland and any dispute regarding it will be exclusively under the jurisdiction of the courts of Poland. In any legal claim under this Agreement, the side which wins will be entitled to its legal fees and expenses.

If you are resident in the USA:

To the extent not covered by the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration language below, you and we agree that your use of GWENT, and this Agreement, and any issues arising out of them, will be deemed to be entered into in Los Angeles, California and governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California, USA (and, if applicable, US Federal law) without regard to choice of law principles. Any legal claim by you against CD PROJEKT RED, to the extent not covered by the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration language below, will be made exclusively in state or federal court located in Los Angeles, California, which will have subject matter jurisdiction regarding the dispute between you and us and therefore we both consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Moreover, you waive any rights to argue that the state and federal courts in Los Angeles, California are an improper venue. In any legal claim under this Agreement, the side who wins will be entitled to its legal fees and expenses.

18.1 If you have concerns or issues with us, we hope we can resolve them quickly and amicably through GWENT support service accessible at https://playgwent.com/contact-support. However, we recognize that occasionally there might be legal disputes which are not so easily resolved. In this section we explain what happens if there is a legal dispute.

18.2 Informal dispute resolution:
We and you both agree to make reasonable and good faith efforts to resolve any dispute between us informally. Normally we would suggest that this dispute resolution period lasts 30 days unless exceptional circumstances exist. If it is not resolved during this time, the next steps depend on where you live. If you are resident in the European Union, you may be entitled to submit a complaint through the Online Dispute Resolution Platform operated by the European Commission, details of which can be found at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

(1) Dispute resolution next steps: if you live in the European Union or elsewhere in the world (but not the USA):

You and we have the legal right to commence legal claims against each other if we consider it necessary. If you bring a claim: against CD PROJEKT RED, you should address it to “Legal Team, CD PROJEKT S.A., ul. Jagiellońska 74, 03-301, Warsaw, Poland” with a copy to legal@cdprojektred.com;

(2) Dispute resolution next steps: if you live in the USA:
Arbitration:
We and you agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us in individual binding arbitration. This includes without limitation any claims arising from this Agreement, any part of the relationship between you and CD PROJEKT RED. This section applies whether the dispute or claim is based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, unfair competition, misrepresentation or any other legal doctrine.

(Some explanatory notes from us: "arbitration" is a consensual dispute resolution process where both sides present their case to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury). Arbitration is less formal than court litigation and it has less formal rules (which we talk about below). Just so we and you are clear: by choosing arbitration you and we are giving up the right to have any dispute between us heard in court before a judge and/or jury.) You and us (CD PROJEKT RED) agree that any claim arising out of or related to GWENT must be made within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise, such claim is permanently barred. You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account or GWENT.

How to start an arbitration:
If either of us wants to commence arbitration, then they have to send the other side a written notice setting out the basis of the claim and what remedy the commencing side wants from the other side. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. If you send a notice to us, please send by mail and by email. You or we may bring an arbitration at any reasonable AAA location within the United States that is convenient for you.
The rules for the arbitration:
The US Federal Arbitration Act applies to this section. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by this Agreement (http://www.adr.org). The arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of AAA arbitrators. The determination of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by an arbitrator rather than a court. The AAA will administer the arbitration and it will be conducted in the English language. It may be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or in person at a mutually agreed location. The arbitration hearing must commence within thirty (30) days from the appointment of the arbitrator, unless otherwise agreed to by you and us. The AAA will only have power to arbitrate the dispute between you and us and not in relation to other people under this particular arbitration. Judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

If you seek US $10,000 or less, CD PROJEKT RED agrees to reimburse your filing fee and your share of the arbitration costs (but not including any attorney’s fees or expert witness fees), including your share of arbitrator compensation, at the end of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator decides your claims are without merit or your costs are unreasonable. We agree not to seek our legal fees or costs in the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are without merit or your costs are unreasonable. If you seek more than US $10,000 then the arbitration costs, including arbitrator compensation, will be split between you and us according to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, if applicable.

What the dispute resolution and arbitration sections do not apply to:
The dispute resolution and arbitration requirements do not apply to claims or disputes brought by either you or us which relate to claims of intellectual property rights infringement or claims of unauthorized use, piracy, theft or misappropriation.

This section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if the law allows, seek relief from us for you.

Waiver of collective action remedies:
To the maximum extent permitted by the national or state law applicable, you and we agree not under any circumstances to bring or participate in a class or representative action, private attorney general action or collective arbitration. That means, to the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

If the agreement in this section not to bring or participate in a class or representative action, private attorney general action or collective arbitration is found illegal or unenforceable, you and we agree that it will not be severable: this entire section will be deemed unenforceable and any claim or dispute will therefore be resolved in court.

19.1 Apple iOS.

21.3 If you do not agree to those changes (regardless of whether you email us), then unfortunately we need to ask you to cease using GWENT. We are sorry we have to say that, but we hope you will appreciate that for GWENT to work properly we need to have everyone using them under the same rules instead of different people having different rules. That's why we encourage you to get in contact if you have queries or concerns.
