1.2. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy Updates

Kitty Code reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms of Service at any time by posting the amended Terms of Service on or within the Service or website. Any such change or modification will be effective immediately upon publishing.

You will be deemed to have accepted such changes by continuing to use the Service. Kitty Code may also revise other policies, codes or rules at any time, and the new versions will be available in the Service. This agreement may not be otherwise amended except in a writing hand signed by you and Us.

If at any point you do not agree to any portion of the then-current version of our Terms of Service, the Kitty Code Privacy Policy, or any other Kitty Code policy, rules or codes of conduct relating to your use of the Service, your license to use the Service shall immediately terminate and you must immediately stop using the Service.

To the extent the Terms of Service or Kitty Code Privacy Policy conflict with any other Kitty Code terms, policy, rules or codes of conduct, the terms contained in these Terms of Service and in the Kitty Code Privacy Policy shall govern.

1.3. Grant of a Limited License to Use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service and any other
relevant Kitty Code policies, Kitty Code grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, license subject to the limitations in Section 1.4 to access and use the Service using a supported mobile device solely for your own non-commercial entertainment purposes. You agree not to use the Service for any other purpose.

1.4 Restrictions to the use of the Service

The following restrictions apply to the use of the Service: a) This is a virtual Geocaching game which collects location information on players as part of the gameplay including but not limited to bury, dig, buy and sell locations.  To comply with COPPA regulations, you may not create an account if you are under the age of 13.  There are no exceptions to this rule. b) You must monitor your Account or mobile device to restrict usage of the Service or your Account by anyone other than You. You accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of the Service in connection with your Account. c) You must not have more than one Account at any one time, and shall not create an Account using a false identity or information. d) You shall not create or use an Account if you have been previously removed from the Service by Kitty Code. e) You shall not sublicense, sell, trade, gift, bequeath or otherwise transfer your Account or any Virtual Items associated with your Account to anyone without Kitty Code’s written permission. f) You shall not access or use an Account or Virtual Goods that have been sublicensed, rented, leased, sold, traded, gifted, bequeathed, or otherwise transferred from the original Account creator without Kitty Code’s permission. g) You shall not attempt to modify the GPS location settings of your device to deceive the Service. h) You shall not engage in the trade, transfer, purchase, or acceptance of Virtual Goods from other players, knowingly or unknowingly, who violate these Terms of Service. i) Kitty Code reserves the right to remove or reclaim any unused accounts older than six months.

These restrictions of use are not meant to be exhaustive, and Kitty Code reserves the right to determine what conduct it considers to be a violation of the Terms or improper use of the Service and to take action up to and including termination of your account and exclusion from further participation in the Service.

1.5 OUR POLICIES CONCERNING CHILDREN

Our apps and games are not intended for children under the age of 13 and We do not knowingly collect any personal information from such children. Children under the age of 13 should not use our apps or games at any time. In the event that We learn that We have inadvertently gathered personal information from children under the age of 13, We will take reasonable measures to promptly erase such information from our records.

1.6 Virtual Goods

You understand that while at times you may “earn” “buy” or “purchase” (a) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in the Service; or (b) virtual in-game items (together with virtual currency, “Virtual Items”); these real world terms are only being used as shorthand. You do not in fact “own” the Virtual Items and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, you may purchase a limited license to use the Service, including software programs that occasionally manifest themselves as these items. The purchase and sale of the limited license referred to in these Terms of Service is a completed transaction upon receipt of your direct payment or a third party virtual currency. Any “virtual currency” balance shown in your Account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license.

1.7. License Limitations

Any use of the Service in violation of these License Limitations is strictly prohibited, can result in the immediate revocation of your limited license granted by Section 1.4, and may subject you to liability for violations of law. ANY ATTEMPT BY YOU TO DISRUPT OR INTERFERE WITH THE SERVICE INCLUDING UNDERMINING OR MANIPULATING THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY Kitty Code GAME IS A VIOLATION OF Kitty Code POLICY AND MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS.

You agree that you will not, under any circumstances:

  1. Engage in any act that Kitty Code deems to be in conflict with the spirit or intent of the Service, including but not limited to circumventing or manipulating these Terms, our game rules, game mechanics or policies;
  2. Make improper use of Kitty Code’s support services, including by submitting false abuse reports or using profane and abusive language in your communications with our support personnel; or
  3. Use the Service, intentionally or unintentionally, in connection with any violation of any applicable law or regulation, or do anything that promotes the violation of any applicable law or regulation;

1.8. Suspension and Termination of Account and Service

1.19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If a dispute arises between you and Kitty Code, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Kitty Code agree that We will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or the Service (a “Claim”) in accordance with one of the subsections below or as We and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, We strongly encourage you to first contact Us directly to seek a resolution by going to Customer Support. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related to it or the Service shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Florida as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Florida between Florida residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Kitty Code must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Orange County, Florida, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Orange County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, and the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

1.20. SEVERABILITY

If a provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, that shall not affect the validity or enforceability thereof the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

1.21. No Waiver

The failure of Kitty Code to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Service or the Kitty Code Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Kitty Code’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by Kitty Code of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms of Service or the Kitty Code Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms of Service, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by Kitty Code shall be deemed a modification of these Terms of Service nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by You and a duly appointed officer of Kitty Code.

1.22. Notices

We may notify you via postings on www.Kitty Code.com, and via e-mail or any other communications means to contact information you provide to Us.

Any notices that you provide without compliance with this Section on Notices shall have no legal effect.

1.23. Equitable Remedies

You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms of Service to Kitty Code are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Kitty Code and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, Kitty Code shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.

You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Service or any Kitty Code game, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith, or exploitation of the Service or any content or other material used or displayed through the Service and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages, limited by Section 1.16 (if any).
