By purchasing a subscription to the Services, registering an Account for, or just using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand these Terms, and agree to be bound by them. Both these Terms and separate terms of service or sale documents may apply to your use of the Services or to a sweepstake, service, or product offered via the Services (Additional Terms).

If you know of someone under the age of either 13 or the legal age in their jurisdiction (whichever is older) who is using the Service -- or has created an account with us -- and they are doing so without parental or guardian consent, then please notify us at https://chess.com/support. We do not ask you for your birth date, if you use the Service or create an account with us, then you are affirming that you meet these requirements and we are permitted to reasonably rely on this affirmation.

These Terms, the Other Policies and our Privacy Policy may be updated or modified from time to time and are effective upon posting so you should check this page regularly to look for any changes. If you continue to use our Services, then you are telling us that you continue to agree to any changes to these agreements and policies.

The provisions of this policy apply to all Accounts.

Member Accounts are accounts offered by us, or through one of our affiliates, that are designed for home use and are not classified as another of the types of accounts mentioned in these Terms. A Member Account is available for use by one User.

Gift Accounts

We offer the option of purchasing prepaid, nonrefundable, nontransferable access to a Member Account as a gift (Gift Account). See our Gift Membership Service Policy for the terms and conditions that apply.

B. Passwords and Account Access

Every Account has one designated User who must be a person of lawful age under the laws applicable to the location in which the person resides and who can lawfully enter into a contract. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and Account information. You agree that: (a) you will provide the required registration information and keep your Account information up to date; (b) you are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your Account; (c) you will notify us immediately of any unauthorized Account use; (d) we are in no way responsible for any loss that you may incur as a result of any unauthorized use of your Account and password; and (e) you will not sell, transfer, or assign your Account or any Account rights. If we learn that an ineligible User has created an Account, we may seek confirmation of the User's status or deactivate the Account, without notice to the ineligible User.

C. Account Registration

A User must register an Account by: (a) providing the required information as prompted by our registration form; and (b) maintaining and promptly updating the Registration Data to keep it current and complete. If you fail to provide the required registration, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that your Account has been created for an improper purpose or in violation of these Terms, we may suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service.

D. Account Fees

For certain types of Accounts, we may charge a fee, such as an Account or subscription fee. All fees are due in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes due. We may offer promotional trial subscriptions to access the Services for free or at special discounted prices. If you sign up for a trial subscription, your rights to use the Services are limited by the terms of such trial and will terminate or renew according to the terms of your trial arrangement and/or any applicable Additional Terms. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds for existing subscribers in the event of a price drop or promotional offering for new subscribers. Failure to pay any fees may result in your inability to access or use the Services.

(i) Authorization to Charge for Services

You must either use a credit card or other payment mechanism accepted by us (for example, PayPal, Apple's AppStore, Google Play Store, etc.) (Pay Mechanism) to activate and maintain a paid Account.

You will also be responsible for charges (including applicable taxes) for any products or services that you order that are offered for sale through the Services. All prices quoted for products or services are exclusive of tax, unless otherwise stated. Please note that we may take steps to verify your Pay Mechanism, which may include initiating a small (usually about $1.00 or so) authorization to your Pay Mechanism, even if you receive a free trial, which test authorization will be promptly reversed within the time period required by payment network rules. If we do not receive payment from the Pay Mechanism you use, you agree to pay all amounts due hereunder upon our demand and will be solely responsible for any dispute with your payment provider. Should the Pay Mechanism provided initially be declined for insufficient funds or any other reason, we reserve the right to attempt to recharge the Pay Mechanism in full or in lesser installments of the initially incurred charge for the duration of the Account subscription you selected and for up to an additional 90 days. You will not be charged more than the amount for which you purchased your Account subscription. You will be solely responsible for all overdraft fees and/or penalties that may be assessed by your payment provider. We use a third-party service provider to process payments on our behalf. You acknowledge and agree that in the event the third-party payment processor experiences a data breach that affects your information through no fault of ours we will in no way be responsible or liable to you for any such breach.

(ii) Subscription and Renewal

By activating a Member Account, you agree that we may renew your subscription automatically for the same subscription term on the next day after your previous subscription ends. You authorize us to charge you for the subscription term, unless you cancel your Account prior to its renewal date through the procedures described in the Subscription Cancellation section below. We will charge you using the Pay Mechanism each year, month, or other applicable period (depending on the term that you selected) for the then-current applicable price.

(iii) Subscription Cancellation

Unless you purchased your subscription(s) through the Apple AppStore or the Google Play store, to cancel any subscription and avoid future charges, you may cancel such subscription prior to its renewal date through the Account area on our Home Page or by contacting our Member Support Team.

For all Accounts, you will continue to have access to your Account for the time period that has been prepaid. After you cancel your Account, we will not charge you any subscription fees after the expiration of your then-current subscription.

7. Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

THESE TERMS REQUIRE BOTH OF US TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTES WE HAVE WITH ONE ANOTHER AND WE BOTH WAIVE THE ABILITY TO BRING CLAIMS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER IN COURT, TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY, OR TO BRING ANY CLAIMS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION FORMAT.

PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION & DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT“) CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST.

TO LEARN HOW TO OPT-OUT OF MANDATORY ARBITRATION, SEE SUB-PARAGRAPH F BELOW.

If any controversy, allegation, or claim under any legal theory, including but not limited to any federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, including those based in tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or contract, arises out of or relates to the Services or these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, formation, or the validity thereof, or` the issue of arbitrability (collectively, the Dispute), then we both agree to the following resolution process with respect to the Dispute. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, conscionability, severance, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the substantive law applicable to any arbitration, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.

To resolve any Dispute most efficiently, we both agree to first discuss the Dispute informally for at least 30 days. To do so, the party who wants to raise the Dispute must first send to the other party a notice that must include (1) the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice, (2) a description of the Dispute, and (3) a proposed resolution (together, the Dispute Notice). If you want to raise a Dispute, then you must send your Dispute Notice by certified mail to the address listed below in Sub-Paragraph K). If we would like to subsequently discuss your Dispute Notice with you, we will contact you by using the contact information included with your Dispute Notice. If we want to raise a Dispute, then we will send our Dispute Notice to you at the email address that we have on file for you. If we do not have a valid email address on file for you, we will send our Dispute Notice to you through a means that complies with the service of process rules in the state of Utah.

If you and us do not reach an agreed-upon resolution within 30 days of receipt of the Dispute Notice, then we both agree that the Dispute will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (JAMS) in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules and procedures, including any supplementary rules and fee schedules then in effect (JAMS Rules), except as modified by these Terms. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single neutral arbitrator who is a lawyer or retired judge, who will administer the proceedings in accordance with the JAMS Rules. In resolving the Dispute, the arbitrator will consider applicable law, the provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms, and any facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned decision. You can obtain the JAMS procedures, rules, and fee information as follows:

JAMS: 800.352.5267

http://www.jamsadr.com

Mass Arbitration

In the event that 20 or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance, coordination, or cooperation of the same law firm, group of law firms, cooperating law firms, or organization are allowed to be submitted for arbitration, the following additional terms in this paragraph shall apply and the parties shall be deemed to have agreed to the application of JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines available at https://www.jamsadr.com/mass-arbitration-procedures, as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. JAMS shall: (i) administer the arbitration demands in 20 batches, with the discretion to create additional batches if JAMS finds that they are necessary to facilitate the efficient resolution of demands; and (ii) apply a single initial filing fee and administrative fee per batch for each side as set forth in JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures Fee Schedule. You agree to cooperate in good faith to implement this batch approach to facilitate the efficient resolution of claims. This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitrations of any kind. We reserve all rights and defenses as to each and any demand and claimant. If any court or arbitrator determines that this subsection is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, or that an arbitration can proceed on a mass arbitration basis without the application of this paragraph, then the Arbitration Agreement shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and the parties shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Disputes.

A. Nature, Limitations, and Location of Alternative Dispute Resolution

In arbitration, as with a court, the arbitrator will resolve the submitted Dispute and can issue a decision consistent with this Section 7. However, WITH ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY; THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES; AND JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED. All parties to the arbitration will have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing. We both agree that any hearings held in the arbitration will be conducted virtually. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules, but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require us to pay a greater portion or all such fees and costs in order for this Section 7 to be enforceable, then we will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. Discovery will be permitted pursuant to the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator's decision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim of the Dispute and must provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and any award (if any) is based. Judgment on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered into any court that has jurisdiction over the parties.

B. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded

As an exception to binding arbitration, we both retain the right to pursue, in a small claims court in Utah County, Utah, any Dispute that is within that court's jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis. We will not demand arbitration in connection with any individual Dispute that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, so long as the Dispute qualified for small claims court and is pending only in that court.

C. Injunctive Relief

The foregoing provisions of this Section 7 will not apply to any legal action taken by either party to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in conjunction with any intellectual property claim or claim related to unauthorized access to data through the Services (including, but not limited to, claims related to patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets, and claims relating to the access or retrieval of data through the Services using an automated process such as scraping).

D. Limitation Period for Claims

To help resolve any issues between you and us promptly and directly, you and the Company agree that any Dispute Notice must be sent, or that any small claims or injunctive relief complaint permitted under this Section 7 must be filed, within one year after the events giving rise to the Dispute arise; otherwise, the Dispute is waived.

E. No Class Actions.

You and the Company agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. We both further agree that any Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party, unless expressly permitted in these Terms or by agreement of the parties. Also, unless otherwise prohibited by law, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). If any court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then this Arbitration Agreement between you and Company shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and you and the Company shall be deemed not to have agreed to arbitrate Disputes.

F. Opt-out

You can choose to reject this Arbitration Agreement by sending us a written opt-out notice (Opt-Out Notice) within 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms, by mail or email to the address listed below in Sub-Paragraph J. If mailed, the Opt-Out Notice must be sent by certified mail and post-marked no later than 30 days following the date you first agree to these Terms. To be effective, the Opt-Out Notice must contain your name, address, and signature. If you opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement, then all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may enter with the Company.

G. Survival of Arbitration Agreement

You and the Company agree that the agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of these Terms, and the termination of any membership or account you may have with Company.

H. Severance of Arbitration Agreement

If the arbitrator decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this arbitration agreement's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if any part of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed invalid or inapplicable, the remainder of the agreement to arbitrate shall still be considered valid and enforceable.

I. Alternative Dispute Resolution for Fair Play Policy Claims

If your dispute pertains to a Chess.com finding that you violated its Fair Play Policy then, if you do not wish to submit it for arbitration with JAMS, you may choose to submit it, instead, for final and binding arbitration with a Fair Play Panel of Experts. Chess.com shall enjoy the sole right to review any such claims submitted for resolution by the Fair Play Panel of Experts, and shall enjoy the right at its sole discretion to accept or reject any such claims for arbitration. If we reject such a claim for resolution by a Fair Play Panel of Experts, you still may use the arbitration procedure provided above.

This panel will conduct its hearing using the JAMS Rules, as modified by the Arbitration Agreement.

Všechny poplatky a náklady spojené s jednáním Panelu fair play (vyjma honoráře vašeho právního zástupce) uhradí Chess.com. Vy i Chess.com zůstanete za všech okolností zodpovědní za honoráře svých právníků, bez ohledu na výsledek řízení.

The Fair Play Panel will consist of three persons chosen by you and Chess.com from a panel of candidates, each of whom is either a recognized expert in the field of chess cheat detection or has obtained (and currently holds) at least the title of Chess International Master. The assembly and composition of a Fair Play Panel shall be entirely at the discretion of Chess.com and, by submitting to the jurisdiction of the Fair Play Panel, you agree that its decision shall be final and binding, with no opportunity for appeal unless Chess.com, in its sole discretion, elects to grant such an appeal.

J. Forum Choice

Nothing herein shall be construed as consent by Chess.com to the jurisdiction of any court regarding claims unrelated to the use of the Services or these Terms. If for any reason a Dispute between you and Chess.com proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, then the laws of the State of Utah and the FAA will govern, without regard to or application of its conflicts of law principles or any conflict of law principles of your state or country of residence, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Furthermore, except as otherwise required by applicable law, any such Dispute will be brought solely in the state or federal courts in Salt Lake County, Utah. You consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection that it is an inconvenient forum.

Aniž je omezena obecná platnost výše uvedeného, na základě vlastního uvážení vás můžeme, ale nemusíme vyrozumět o předání těchto informací, které může představovat omezení vašich práv na ochranu soukromí podle GDPR nebo obdobných zákonů o ochraně osobních údajů ve vaší jurisdikci.

B. Termination and Suspension

We reserve the right to discontinue the Services or suspend or terminate your access to it, including any Accounts or User-Generated Content submitted by you, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party. If any information that you provide, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any information that you provide, is false, inaccurate, or otherwise violates these Terms or any Additional Terms, then we may suspend or terminate your Account or deny you access to all or part of the Services. Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to us, including any payment obligations to us, and you will not be entitled to a refund of any payments.

We control and operate the Services from our headquarters in Orem, Utah, USA.

You and we disclaim any application of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

E. Severability; Interpretation

Unless provided otherwise in these Terms, if any provision of these Terms, or any Additional Terms, is for any reason deemed unenforceable by a court or arbitrator, you agree that every attempt will be made to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in that provision, and the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. You agree that these Terms, and Additional Terms, will not be construed against us because we drafted them.
