Acceptance and Agreement to Terms of Service
Welcome to Fiber Gaming Network. We provide a platform for our internet service provider partners to engage with and provide event and content access to gamers, streamers, tournament attendees, and spectators.
We also provide a platform for the purchase of event registrations, merchandise and other goods and services to help support events and content. All such purchases are subject to the terms of sale presented at checkout.
The following terms of service ("Terms of Service") are entered into by and between you and Fiber Gaming, LLC, d/b/a Fiber Gaming Network ("Company," "we," "us" or “our”) and govern your and each of your Authorized User’s (defined below) access to and use of www.fibergamingnetwork.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through such website, and any other website or application on which these Terms of Service appear (collectively, the "Site"). References to “you” in these Terms may also include any “Authorized Users”. Your use of the Site is subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies and procedures that may be published from time to time on the Site by us. Certain services offered by us on or through the Site may be subject to separate terms of use, in which case, we will let you know what terms will apply to those services.
The content, games and streams available through the Site, along with all other elements of the Site including its features, functionality, user interface, software, and all associated mobile application(s), user communications, website(s) and other technology platforms are collectively referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Services.” We may at any time change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Services, including, but not limited to, content, hours of availability, and equipment needed for access or use. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or discontinuance of the Services.
PLEASE READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU START TO USE THE SERVICES. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND YOUR AUTHORIZED USERS: (A) ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS OF SERVICE; (B) REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER OR YOU ARE THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF A MINOR 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER; AND (C) ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY BOUND BY ITS TERMS.

BY ACCESSING THE SITE AND USING ANY OF THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE PROVISIONS.
If any provision of these Terms of Service is determined by a court to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision is deemed severable from these Terms of Service and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Eligibility to Use the Services
You must meet the following criteria to use the Services: (a) reside within the United States or Canada; and (b) be at least eighteen (18) years old. If you are below eighteen (18) years old but at least thirteen (13) years old, you may use the Services only as an Authorized User of a parent or legal guardian’s Account.
To access the Services, you must register and set up an account with us (“Account”). To set up an Account, you must have an active subscription plan with an active third party internet service provider partner of the Company (a “Subscription”). You are responsible for all charges incurred in connection with your Subscription. If your Subscription is not current or you have unpaid amounts with your internet service provider, your Account may be suspended or terminated, or such other action may be taken based on the terms of your Subscription. Cancellation or termination of your Subscription will result in termination of your Account. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of your internet service provider.
By setting up an Account, you agree that: (a) all information provided by you as required by the registration form (the "Registration Data") is true, accurate, current and complete and (b) you will maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all of your current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof).
You will have the option to create up to four (4) authorized user profiles on your Account (each, an “Authorized User”). We may further limit the maximum number of Authorized Users you can add or that can simultaneously use the Services. Authorized Users are limited to members of your household aged thirteen (13) years or older. We recommend that parents and guardians familiarize themselves with parental controls available on devices they provide to their child and accompany their child if 13 years of age but under 18 years of age when online. Additionally, some of the content on the Services may not be appropriate for individuals under 18 years of age. By allowing your minor child to access your Account and use the Services, you represent and warrant that you are the parent or legal guardian of each minor child accessing the Account and that you have the authority to consent to these Terms of Service, for yourself and each Authorized User, including any Authorized User who is a minor child. You are responsible for all activity by each Authorized User and for any other activity under your Account.
By using or accessing any part of the Services, you acknowledge that you and any Authorized User have not been previously banned, blocked, or suspended from the Services.
Your Account will function as the “master account” for all Authorized Users. EACH AUTHORIZED USER’S VIEWING ACTIVITY MAY BE ACCESSIBLE TO YOU AS THE ACCOUNT HOLDER, INCLUDING GAMES AND STREAMS, PARENTAL CONTROLS AND ANY CHANGES TO THE AUTHORIZED USER SETTINGS. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM EACH AUTHORIZED USER OF THIS FEATURE.
As part of the Account registration process, you will provide a login email address and create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, including, without limitation, all actions by Authorized Users. You agree to (a) immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or Account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your Account at the end of each session. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss, damage or other liability arising from your failure to comply with these requirements or from any unauthorized access to or use of your Account. In the event of any dispute between two or more parties as to account ownership, you agree that we shall be the sole arbiter of such dispute in its sole discretion and that our decision (which may include termination or suspension of any account subject to dispute) shall be final and binding on all parties.

Agreement to Arbitrate
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 15 days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute relating to these Terms of Service or use of the Site or Services shall be subject to final and binding arbitration resolved by a single impartial arbitrator pursuant to proceedings administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. For more information about the AAA and its applicable arbitration rules, procedures and fees, visit http://www.adr.org/ or phone the AAA at 800-778-7879. Any such Dispute shall be brought solely by you as an individual and not as part of, or as a representative of, a class. Any arbitration relating to these Terms of Use shall be held in Richland County, South Carolina. The AAA rules will govern payment of arbitration fees. The losing party, as determined by the arbitrator, will pay all costs and fees associated with arbitration. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. By virtue of this agreement to arbitrate, you acknowledge that you are waiving any right to sue in court, and that arbitration is your sole, final and binding remedy to resolve disputes.
The federal or state courts of Richland County, South Carolina shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over: (i) the enforceability of this arbitration provision’s restriction on your right to participate in or pursue a class action or class wide arbitration; (ii) any action concerning the enforcement of an arbitration award; or (iii) if arbitration is not permitted by law, then any Dispute you have arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use. You agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts and you will not object to such jurisdiction and venue on the grounds of lack of personal jurisdiction, inconvenient forum or otherwise.
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING AND MAY ONLY PROVIDE RELIEF IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE.
Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding under (a) through (c) above shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of South Carolina in each case located in Richland County, Florida. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
Modifications to this Section
We will provide 60 days' notice of any Modifications to this Agreement to Arbitrate. Modifications will become effective on the 60th day and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day.
Limitation of Time to File Claims
ANY DISPUTE YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Governing Law
These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) Notice and Policy
We respect the intellectual property rights of others, if you believe that any material available on or through the Website infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Notification”).
A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification. Please be advised that pursuant to federal law you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure that material located on or linked to by the Website infringes your copyright, you should consider first contacting an attorney.
All Notifications should meet the requirements of DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include the following information:
“I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.”
Please note that a copy of this legal notice will be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content.
If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Website as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Counter Notification”).
To be an effective Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification must include substantially the following:
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled, or that the material identified by the complainant has been removed or disabled and will no longer be shown.”
If you send us a valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive notice from the party filing the Notification informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question.
Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Filing a false Counter Notification constitutes perjury.
