the resolution of any controversy related to this Agreement
("Dispute"), you and MOXY Games agree to first attempt
to resolve any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
provided below) informally for at least 30 days before
initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Informal

mechanism. If this fails, additional informal discussions
begin upon written notice from you or MOXY Games. MOXY

physical address if we have one on file. You will send

arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION,
YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A
JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be performed under
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). Your arbitration fees and your
share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by
these AAA rules. If such costs are determined by the
arbitrator to be excessive, MOXY Games will pay all
arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be
conducted in person, through the submission of documents,
by phone or online as allowed by the AAA rules. Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and MOXY
Games may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay
proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify,
vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
5.3 No Class Action. You and MOXY
Games agree that any arbitration shall be limited to
the Dispute between MOXY Games and you individually.
To the full extent permitted by law no arbitration or
other dispute resolution proceeding shall be joined
with any other or decided on a class-action basis.
5.4 Exceptions to Informal Discussions and
Arbitration. You and MOXY Games agree that
the following Disputes are not subject to the above
provisions concerning informal discussions and binding
arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or
protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your
or MOXY Games' intellectual property rights or Licensed
Intellectual Property; (2) any Dispute related to, or
arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion
of privacy, or criminal activity; and (3) any claim
for injunctive relief.
5.5 Venue. If you are a resident of
the United States, any arbitration will take place at
any reasonable location convenient for you, including
using telephone and online dispute resolution to the
extent that they are available via the AAA. For residents
outside the United States, any arbitration shall be
initiated in Los Angeles, California, United States
of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other
than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or
where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall
be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within
Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and
you and MOXY Games agree to submit to the exclusive
personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Construction
and performance of this Agreement and the legal relations
between the parties hereto shall be under the law of
the State of California without regard to its conflict
of laws provisions. Each party hereby waives any claim
that such venue is improper or inconvenient.

6.1 Survival. The provisions of this
Agreement, other than Section 1.1 shall continue in
full force and effect even after termination of this
Agreement.
6.2 Severability and Assignment. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid
or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision
shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to
make it valid and enforceable, and the validity and
enforceability of all other provisions of this Agreement
shall not be affected thereby. User shall have no right
to assign this Agreement.

constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes

terms of this Agreement at any time upon notice to User
by e-mail or on its webpage. Such changes by MOXY Games
shall be effective upon notice to User and User's continued
used of the Application after notice of a change in
terms by MOXY Games shall constitute User's acknowledgement
of, and agreement to, be bound by such changes.
6.4 Virtual Currencies and virtual goods.
The Application may include an opportunity to purchase
virtual, in-game currency ("Virtual Currency") that
may require you to pay a fee using "real money" to obtain
the Virtual Currency. Virtual Currency can never be
redeemed for real money, goods, or any other item of
monetary value from MOXY Games, LLC or any other party.

virtual in-game items or Virtual Currency. Your purchase
of Virtual Currency is final and is not refundable,

and/or eliminate Virtual Currency at its sole discretion.
