TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective as of 22 August, 2022

1. General.

A. Legal Contract. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal contract between Doge Track, (“us” or “our” or “we”) and you (“you” and “yours”) that governs your use of our distributed application that runs on the SOLANA blockchain network, which uses smart contract technology to enable users to buy, sell, breed, and race virtual dogs (in a skill-based competition race) styled after the Shiba Inu breed and the Doge internet meme. Users will also be able to acquire and own racetracks. The racetracks and racing dogs (referred to as Doge NFTs or Track NFTs) take the form of non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) on the SOLANA blockchain (collectively, the “Game”). We are a company registered in the State of Florida, United States. Our website is https://dogetrack.io/ (“Website”). Please contact us at [e-mail] for any general support inquires. Any privacy policy or GDPR inquiries should also be directed to [e-mail].

B. Additional Scope. In addition to your use of the Game, these Terms also govern your use of and interaction with our related websites (including the Website), materials, tools, and services that we provide, all of which are referred to in these Terms as the “Services.” The Services are operated by us and offered to you for your personal, non-commercial use and entertainment. Your use of the Game and the Services (including but not limited to accessing our Website) is subject to the following Terms (including Section 9B “Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action,” as well as our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in these Terms), and all applicable laws.

YOU CANNOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT, PLAY OUR GAME, OR USE ANY SERVICES, INCLUDING OUR WEBSITE IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS.

(i) READ AND ACCEPT THESE TERMS;

(ii) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS; AND

(iii) ARE AUTHORIZED AND ABLE TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS.

D. Arbitration, Class Action Wavier, and Dispute Resolution. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY OF WHATEVER NATURE (“CLAIM”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND/OR OUR GAME, WEBSITE, OR ANY OTHER SERVICES MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCESS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 9 BELOW. PLEASE READ SECTION 9 CAREFULLY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.

E. Changes to these Terms. We reserve the right to change, revise, or otherwise modify these Terms at any time, with or without notice. We will strive to post any such changes on our website, but it is solely your responsibility to review and read the Terms, as they may change from time to time. Continued use of the Services and use of the Game means you accept and agree to be bound by the revised Terms. We strongly suggest that you periodically review these Terms for any changes.

F. Violation of these Terms. If you violate any of these Terms or if we believe that you have violated these Terms, we may terminate your Account with or without notice, limit or restrict your access to the Services (including the Game), and you may forfeit any funds in your Account or any prizes that you may have associated with your Account, with such forfeited funds used to defray the costs of administration and enforcement or donated or otherwise used for a nonprofit purpose. Taking any action against you listed in this paragraph does not limit our ability to take any other action permitted by law or to pursue any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available, including without limitation damages and injunctive relief.

G. User Eligibility. To be eligible for an Account, to use our Services, and play our Game, you must:

(i) be a natural person who is at least 18 years of age or older;

(ii) have the power and ability to enter into a contract with us;

(ii) be physically located within a jurisdiction in which use of our Services and playing the Game is unrestricted and not otherwise prohibited by that jurisdiction’s laws;

(v) not be in violation of any state, local, federal, or other law when accessing your Account and playing the Game; and

(vi) at all times abide by these Terms.

If you violate any of these requirements at any time, we may suspend or close your Account, prohibit your access to the Services (including the Game), and you may forfeit any funds associated with your accounts and any prizes. We may take these actions with or without notice.

H. Racing is a Game of Skill.

(i) The racing component of our Game involves the entry of virtual dogs represented by NFTs (“Doges”) into virtual races around virtual tracks (also represented by NFTs), with some races requiring payment of an entry fee in cryptocurrency.

(ii) All races that require an entry fee will distribute a purse to the winner or winners in the corresponding cryptocurrency. For example, a race where the entry fees were paid in Solana (SOL) will distribute a purse to the winners in SOL.

(iii) Certain races may also involve the payment of the entry fee in our in-game currency $DTRK and distribution of a purse in $DTRK. We may also award $DTRK as a prize to winners of certain free-to-enter races.

(iv) As described in more detail below, each Doge NFT has characteristics that affect performance and interact with the particular track and its characteristics. The players must use their various skills to enter their NFTs in the appropriate race. Owners of track NFTs must also use various skills to manage their track and attract races. The outcome of each race is determined by the skill of the players and accordingly, the Game is a “game of skill.”

(v) IMPORTANT: While we may restrict the Game’s availability in certain jurisdictions, it is solely your responsibility to determine your jurisdiction’s laws and ensure your compliance therewith. We disclaim any and all liability related to your non-compliance with your local jurisdiction’s laws or rules as related to the Game.

I. No Investment Value or Intent. The Game, Website, and Services are solely for entertainment purposes. You agree that you are playing the Game, accessing the Website, and using our Services for entertainment purposes only (and no other purposes). ADDITIONALLY, YOU EXPRESSLY REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE NOT PLAYING THE GAME, ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, OR OUR SERVICES WITH ANY EXPECTATION TO EARN A PROFIT OR OTHERWISE AS AN INVESTMENT. If you access or use (or attempt to access or use) our Game, Website, or Service for any purpose other than personal entertainment, you are in violation of these Terms. Any Doge NFT, Track NFT, cryptocurrency prize or token, or $DTRK in-game currency token acquired as part of playing the Game (i) do not have any inherent or assigned value; and (ii) are not guaranteed to have any future value on the secondary market, which value may be zero at any given time.

2. User Account.

A. Registration and Username. To register for a user account, you must connect a cryptowallet on the SOLANA blockchain, like Phantom, Solflare, or Sollet.io. Please ensure that your access credentials are kept secret, as you are responsible for all activity associated with your Account.

B. Use of the Account. As the holder of the Account, you are the sole person responsible for complying with these Terms. You are also the sole person entitled to the benefits associated with using the Account. You are prohibited from allowing any other person to (i) access your Account; (ii) use the Services (including the Game) through your Account; (iii) accept or use any prizes or other winnings. Your Account is not transferrable to any other person and may not be merged with any other account.

3. Services and Related Software.

A. Services. We may at any time, with or without prior notice to you, (i) modify, suspend, or terminate your access to the Services (including the Game) without any liability to you and for any reason (or no reason) whatsoever; (ii) interrupt access to the Services at any time and without liability for the purposes of maintenance, repairs, and patching.

B. Software. To access the Game and use our Services, you may be required to download certain software and associated program interfaces, license keys, and patches (“Software”) on your device. By downloading the Software, you agree and understand that periodic updates may be necessary and if you do not allow access for the purposes of updates, the Software may no longer be usable and you may no longer be able to access the Game.

4. The Game.

A. Description and Nature of the Game. The Game is a distributed application that runs on the SOLANA blockchain for the sole purpose of entertainment. Users may acquire Doge NFTs from the secondary market for the purpose of training, breeding, and racing virtual racing dogs. Each Doge NFT has a set of unique characteristics (such as strength, endurance, and agility) that determine how well that particular Doge performs on a particular track. Track NFT owners are also able to change the characteristics of their particular track to attract racers to their particular racetrack.

B. Game of Skill Description. The racing aspect of the Game is designed as a contest of pure skill that allows participants to compete against each other’s Doge NFTs for a “purse” or "prize" awarded to the winner. Each track has certain characteristics that interact with a particular Doge NFT’s traits and characteristics and improve its chance of success in a race. Utilizing the skills of historical research and statistical analysis enables Doge NFT owners to determine which races are best suited for the traits of their particular Doge. In addition to the inherent skill traits like strength, agility, and endurance, each Doge has a “win percentage” associated with the percentage of races that the Doge entered and won. A higher win percentage increases the chances of the Doge winning subsequent races and a lower win percentage decreases such chances. This means that a player who attempts to play “randomly” or without exercising skill, will incur a penalty for each unsuccessful race that is entered. Accordingly, it is critical for players to use their skill to win the Game – and it is skill that materially and predominantly determines the result and outcome. The successful track ownership aspect of the game is also determined by skill – a track owner must use their own historical research and statistical analysis skills to adjust traits to meet demand of the Doge NFT owners. Additionally, a track NFT owner must continuously update their track and make it eligible for racing, which means that the track NFT owner must actively exercise their track management skills as part of playing the Game.

C. Account Funding and Fees. The Game uses various cryptocurrencies as entry fees and pays out the prizes or purses to the winners in the corresponding cryptocurrency. The Game also uses the in-game token $DTRK as entry fees and prizes for certain races, cosmetic purchases, Doge-O training fees, “breeding” or “stud” fees, Track NFT features and modifications. We may also allow payment for these features in certain cryptocurrenices (such as but not limited to Solana (SOL)). However, you are not required to purchase, convert, or own any $DTRK to play or enjoy our Game. We have the sole right to determine acceptable payment methods and to impose conditions, including additional fees, for the use of certain payment methods.

D. Payment of Fees. All race entry fees and other fees are deemed prepaid and nonrefundable. All fees paid to enter a race, augment or improve a Track NFT, breed a Doge, train a Doge, otherwise related to track ownership, or purchase a product in our marketplace are final and you are not entitled to a refund of those fees for any reason. You shall be responsible with any additional transaction fees associated with any purchase of any cryptocurrency or $DTRK, exchange of any cryptocurrency or $DTRK, or withdrawal or transfer of any cryptocurrency or $DTRK. It is your sole responsibility to determine what amounts you are able to deposit for use in the Game and you take full and sole responsibility for the funds you deposit. We are not liable to you for any delays in processing, gameplay, or withdrawals, and you assume the sole risk that you may lose any cryptocurrency, money, or other assets that you contribute through gameplay.

E. Prizes to Race Winners. If your Doge wins or places in a race, the Doge is awarded a purse or prize for its performance in the cryptocurrency used to pay the entry fees or $DTRK. The awarded amount is credited to the owner’s account or connected cryptowallet. The amount of the prize is disclosed to the Doge owners and predetermined ahead of the start of each race. Once a race concludes, a smart contract process authorizes the payment of the prizes or purse to the winning Doge owner’s account or cryptowallet.

F. Taxes. You are solely responsible for paying all federal and other taxes in accordance with the laws that apply in your local, state, province, and/or country of residence. We are not responsible for or liable for any of your tax obligations and liabilities. We make no representations about the tax treatment of any cryptocurrency, any NFT, in-game assets, our in-game currency $DTRK, or any other aspect of the Game, Website, or our Services.

G. Restrictions on Use. You may not use, copy, reproduce, or redistribute the Services, Software, or Game or related or derivative products or services without our express written permission. You may not engage in, or assist others to engage in, conduct that would damage or impair our property including, without limitation: (i) copying, distributing, transmitting, displaying, performing, framing, linking, hosting, caching, reproducing, publishing, licensing, or creating derivative works from any information, software, products or services obtained from us; (ii) providing unauthorized means through which others may use Services such as through server emulators or IP spoofing programs; (iii) taking actions that impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on network infrastructure, or that could damage, disable, overburden or impair our Services or Game; (iv) interfering with any other party’s use and enjoyment of Services and/or Game (including cheating); and/or (iv) attempting to gain unauthorized access to third party accounts, the Service, Software, or the Game.

We, in sole discretion, may disqualify any entrant from a race, refuse to award benefits or prizes and require the return of any prizes, if a player engages in conduct or otherwise utilizes any information that we deem to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Game or is in any way detrimental to other players.

By entering into a race, contributing or paying in cryptocurrency, purchasing $DTRK, registering an account, linking a cryptowallet, or otherwise interacting with our Game, Services, and Website, you agree to indemnify, release and to hold harmless us, our affiliates and agents, as well as the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, attorneys, and any of their representatives (collectively, the "Released Parties"), from any and all liability, claims or actions of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to injuries, damages, or losses to persons and property which may be sustained in connection with participation in the race, playing our Game, acquiring or transacting in any cryptocurrency and/or in $DTRK, the receipt, ownership, use or misuse of any prize or while preparing for, participating in and/or traveling to or from any race related activity, as well as any claims based on publicity rights, defamation, or invasion of privacy. We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, require a player to execute a separate release of claims similar to the one listed above in this paragraph as a condition of being awarded or receiving any prize. We are not responsible for: any incorrect, invalid or inaccurate entry information; human errors; postal delays/postage due mail; technical malfunctions; failures, including public utility or telephone outages; omissions, interruptions, deletions or defects of any telephone system or network, computer online systems, data, computer equipment, servers, providers, or software (including, but not limited to software and operating systems that do not permit an entrant to participate in a race or any other Service associated transaction), including without limitation any injury or damage to any entrant's or any other person's computer or video equipment; inability to access the our Game, or any related Services; theft, tampering, destruction, or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, entries and/or images of any kind; data that is processed late or incorrectly or is incomplete or lost due to telephone, postal issues, computer or electronic malfunction or traffic congestion on telephone lines or transmission systems, or the Internet, or any service provider's facilities, or any phone site or website or for any other reason whatsoever; typographical, printing or other errors, or any combination thereof. We are not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries.

If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification will be given.

L. Hacking. ANY ATTEMPT BY A PLAYER OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE GAME OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY RACE OR OTHER ACTIVITY RELATED TO OUR SERVICES IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

M. Publicity. Participation in each race or any other activity related to our Website and Services must be made only as specified in these Terms. Where such consent is permitted by law, all players and winners of any race consent to the use of their name, voice, and likeness/photograph in and in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of any race or the Game or any other matter related to our Services. This includes granting us a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferrable license to feature your Doge NFT in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of any race or any other aspect of the Game.

N. Acquisition, Disposition, and Transactions Using $DTRK. As part of the Game experience, players have the opportunity to acquire an in-game token $DTRK. The $DTRK token has no inherent value assigned by us or controlled by us. The $DTRK token is not a currency and has no intrinsic, inherent, or assigned value outside of the Game. 1 $DTRK = 1 $DTRK. The $DTRK token may be used to pay race entry fees; pay training fees to augment the Doge NFT with new traits in the Doge-O; pay stud fees to breed Doges and create new NFTs; purchase cosmetic items to augment Doges in the marketplace; and otherwise. Players can win the $DTRK token by winning races with their Doge NFT; earn $DTRK through track ownership; earn $DTRK as a stud fee for breeding of their Doge NFT; or lock up their Doge or Track NFTs to improve network security and token validation, in exchange for $DTRK.

O. No Representation Regarding Value of Any NFTs or Cryptocurrencies. Any NFTs acquired for use as part of our Game, as well as any improvements thereto (such as training and cosmetic enhancements) have no inherent or assigned value. The NFT’s value on any secondary market can be zero at any given time. Likewise, any cryptocurrencies (such as but not limited to Solana (SOL)) that are compatible with our Game and may be used to pay race and other fees are volatile in value and such value is determined by a secondary market outside of our control. The value of any cryptocurrency used as part of our Game may be zero at any given time. Additionally, we are not liable for your decision to use cryptocurrency to fund your account or engage with our Game and we are not liable to you for any delays or other impediments to your ability to withdraw or transfer cryptocurrency from your account.

5. Legal and Regulatory Compliance.

A. Gaming Laws.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted herein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or license is granted hereunder, express or implied or by way of estoppel, to any intellectual property rights and your use of our Services, Software, or playing the Game does not convey or imply the right to do so in combination with any other information or products.

C. NFT and $DTRK Ownership. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you retain absolute ownership and rights in all Doge and Track NFTs that you may acquire (whether through our Game, Website, or Services, or elsewhere), and all $DTRK that you purchase, win, or otherwise acquire. The Doge and Track NFTs and $DTRK are immutable blockchain assets and not under our control. We do not claim any rights in or control over such Doge or Track NFTs that are usable within our Game. Accordingly, we are not liable for or responsible for any transaction, purchase, sale, or acquisition of an NFT or $DTRK in-game token that may occur between you and a third party not affiliated with us. We are not the owners of any Doge NFT license or Track NFT license and make no representation otherwise.

By playing the Game, you voluntarily assume the risk of new technology, and while we will use our reasonable efforts to ensure Game stability and security, such stability and security cannot be guaranteed and you are contributing any assets to your account, purchasing and owning NFTs, and $DTRK solely at your own risk.

B. Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE ARE NOT AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL) OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING THE GAME, GOVERNED BY THESE TERMS.

The term “Dispute” means any dispute, action or other controversy between you and us concerning these Terms, the Services, the Game, or any other product, service or information we make available to you, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law. In the event of a Dispute, you or we must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, any supporting evidence (such as communications or screenshots), and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by email to [e-mail]. We will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to your email address, and you agree to receive any Notices of Dispute either by mail or email. The parties will strive to negotiate and attempt to resolve the dispute for a period of at least sixty (60) days (“Formal Complaint Process”). After the sixty (60) day period, either party may initiate arbitration as provided in this Section. You agree to use the Formal Complaint Process before initiating arbitration or any small claims case.

B. Arbitration; Waiver of Class Action. If we cannot resolve the dispute through the Formal Complaint Process above, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and our Privacy Policy, including, without limitation, federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, shall be resolved through binding arbitration, on an individual basis (the “Arbitration Agreement”). Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you may elect to pursue your claim in your local small claims court rather than through arbitration so long as your matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class and non-representative) basis.

Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination of any contract or other relationship or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to it shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The law of this Arbitration Agreement shall be Delaware law.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN A PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (COLLECTIVELY “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND US ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place telephonically, via video conferencing technology, or in Miami, Florida, in the English language. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. An arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect. At your request or at the order of the arbitrator, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone or via video conferencing technology, and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings. To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, any arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, or any small claims action shall be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees.

The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its conflict of laws principles.

You have the right to opt out of and not to be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in these Terms. To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your decision by email to [e-mail]. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and user name associated with your Account, and state that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration. To be effective, this notice must be postmarked or deposited or received by us (if sent by email) within 30 days of the date on which you first accepted these Terms unless a longer period is required by applicable law; otherwise you will be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with this section. You are responsible for ensuring that we receive your opt-out notice, so you may wish to send it by a means that provides for a delivery receipt. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we will not be bound by them with respect to any Disputes with you.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

A. Entire Agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us. There are no other agreements, any prior agreements, arrangements, or understandings have been merged into these Terms.

B. Severability. To the extent that any part of the Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court, the unenforceable or invalid portion shall be severed from the rest of the Terms, and the remaining Terms shall be given their full effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

C. Notices to You by Email. You agree that we may provide any and all notices to you via email to the email associated with your Account, and that all such notices shall be deemed given at the time that they are sent.

D. Assignment. We may assign these terms at our discretion, in whole or in part, at any time without any notice to you. You may not assign these Terms or any license given to you by us in relation to the Terms.

E. Privacy Policy. These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy, as if the Privacy Policy were set forth in its entirety here. The Privacy Policy explains the policies put in place and used by us to protect your privacy as you play the Game or otherwise use our Services. We receive, store and use all information that you submit to us and all information you submit in registering for an Account and using the Game, in accordance with the Privacy Policy, so please read it carefully. Like these Terms, the Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and your continued access to your Account, use of the Services and the Game indicates your acceptance of the Privacy Policy as amended, and thus it is important for you to periodically access and review the Privacy Policy.
