8. No Gambling or Wagering

Unless expressly authorized by us in writing and structured in compliance with applicable law, the Services may not be used for gambling, wagering, betting, games of chance for money, or any activity involving stakes, cash prizes, or things of value that would require gaming, lottery, sweepstakes, or gambling compliance.

Users may not use the Services to arrange, facilitate, promote, or participate in wagering or gambling activity. We may suspend or terminate accounts and report activity where appropriate.

Fair play is essential to JustPinochle. We may use automated tools, manual review, gameplay analysis, user reports, device signals, account history, technical logs, and other methods to detect cheating, collusion, abuse, automation, fraud, or other misconduct.

We may take enforcement actions based on our review of gameplay and account information, including warnings, score adjustments, ranking resets, forfeitures, match reversals, tournament disqualification, account restrictions, temporary suspensions, permanent bans, device blocks, IP blocks, or other measures.

We are not required to disclose the details of our detection systems, enforcement logic, or evidence if doing so could compromise platform integrity, security, privacy, or future enforcement.

11. Chat, Messaging, and Community Features

The Services may allow users to communicate through chat, table messages, direct messages, comments, invitations, or other community features. These features are provided to support gameplay and community interaction.

You are responsible for your communications. We may monitor, review, remove, preserve, restrict, or disclose communications where permitted by law and where we believe it is necessary or appropriate to operate the Services, enforce these Terms, protect users, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, or maintain platform integrity.

You should not share sensitive personal information through chat or public areas.

"User Content" means any content, communications, usernames, profile information, avatars, messages, chats, comments, feedback, images, suggestions, game table names, tournament content, or other materials submitted, posted, uploaded, transmitted, or made available by users through or in connection with the Services.

16. Paid Features, Subscriptions, and Digital Items

17. Tournaments, Events, and Promotions

We may offer tournaments, challenges, events, giveaways, sweepstakes, contests, or promotions. Such activities may be subject to separate official rules, eligibility requirements, age restrictions, geographic restrictions, entry limitations, prize conditions, tax requirements, and verification requirements.

If separate rules conflict with these Terms, the separate rules will control solely for the applicable activity.

We may cancel, modify, suspend, or disqualify users from tournaments, events, or promotions where we believe doing so is necessary to protect fairness, integrity, legality, or user safety.

18. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may include links to or integrations with third-party services, such as authentication providers, analytics providers, payment processors, app stores, hosting providers, communication tools, social networks, or advertising partners.

Such actions may occur with or without notice and with or without explanation.

27. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

27.1 Agreement to Arbitrate

You and Pirrotta Consulting, LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services, these Terms, your account, your relationship with us, or any communications between you and us will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as stated below.

27.2 Informal Dispute Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, the party seeking relief must first send a written notice describing the dispute and requested relief to the other party. Notices to us must be sent to webmaster@pirrotta.com and to the mailing address listed in these Terms.

The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after notice is received. If the dispute is not resolved during that period, either party may initiate arbitration.

27.3 Arbitration Rules

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified by these Terms. If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the dispute, the parties will select another neutral arbitration provider.

27.4 Arbitration Location and Procedure

Arbitration will occur in Pennsylvania, unless the arbitrator determines that another location, remote appearance, or document-only proceeding is required or appropriate under applicable rules or law.

The arbitrator will have authority to award the same individual relief that a court could award, subject to these Terms.

27.5 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if eligible. Either party may also seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, platform integrity, or unauthorized access.

27.6 Class Action Waiver

You and Pirrotta Consulting, LLC agree that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, collective action, representative action, private attorney general action, or consolidated proceeding.

27.7 Mass Arbitration

If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the assistance of the same law firm, organization, or coordinated group, the parties agree that the arbitration provider may apply reasonable batching, bellwether, sequencing, or administrative procedures designed to promote efficient resolution, consistent with applicable law.

27.8 Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to webmaster@pirrotta.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email address, and a clear statement that you opt out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other part of these Terms.

27.9 Severability

If any part of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court and not arbitration.

28. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of law principles, except to the extent federal law governs or applicable law requires otherwise.

For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

29. Export, Sanctions, and Legal Compliance

You may not use the Services if you are located in a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or if you are listed on a U.S. government restricted-party list.

You agree to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules in connection with your use of the Services.

30. Accessibility

We aim to improve accessibility and usability over time. If you experience accessibility issues, contact webmaster@pirrotta.com so we can evaluate and address the concern where reasonably possible.

31. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or hosting failures, utility failures, cyberattacks, governmental actions, pandemics, or other events beyond our reasonable control.

32. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, change of control, or by operation of law.

33. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not permitted.

34. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Pirrotta Consulting, LLC.

35. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms that apply to specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Pirrotta Consulting, LLC regarding the Services and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements regarding the Services.
