If such person enters a Contest that awards prizes, NHA will disqualify the entry, will not award a prize, and may report such person’s violation of this provision to the daily fantasy site for which the User is employed by, operates or affiliated with. Additionally, NHA may maintain information about the User sufficient to assist NHA in blocking the user from entering future Contests, unless and until NHA determines, in its sole discretion, that the User is no longer an employee or operator of another daily fantasy site or no longer has access to any Pre-Release Data.

If NHA determines that you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, then You are not authorized to use the Service. NHA may require you to provide proof that You are eligible to participate according to this section prior to receiving a prize. This includes requesting that You fill out an affidavit of eligibility or other verification information (as discussed in Section 3 below). If NHA otherwise determines that You do not meet the eligibility requirements of this Section, in addition to any rights that NHA may have in law or equity, NHA reserves the right to terminate your account, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with your account or limit your ability to withdraw.

NHA is not responsible for incomplete, illegible, misdirected or stolen entries. If for any reason a Contest is not capable of running as originally planned, or if a Contest, computer application, or application associated therewith (or any portion thereof) becomes corrupted or does not allow the proper entry to a contest in accordance with the Terms of Use and Conditions or applicable Contest Rules, or if infection by a computer (or similar) virus, bug, tampering, unauthorized intervention, actions by Users, fraud, technical failures, or any other causes of any kind, in the sole opinion of NHA corrupts or affects the administration, security, fairness, integrity, or proper conduct of a contest, NHA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in such action and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the contest, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received. If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification will be posted on the App and Website.
ANY ATTEMPT BY AN USER OR ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE APP AND WEBSITE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF ANY CONTEST GAME IS A VIOLATION OF CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL LAWS AND SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, NHA RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES AND OTHER REMEDIES FROM ANY SUCH PERSON TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

3.4 Taxes
In order to participate in the App and Website, You may not be listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

We are required by law to report all prizes paid out and will provide a 1099 Misc at the end of the year to You detailing what prizes were awarded to You to the IRS. MAKE SURE TO CLAIM ALL PRIZES AT THEIR FAIR MARKET VALUE (FMV) WHEN YOU FILE YOUR TAXES FOR THE YEAR.
Each year, all winners who have won $600 or more over the previous year must provide updated address and social security details to NHA. These details will be used to allow NHA to comply with tax regulations and these details may be shared with appropriate tax authorities. You solely are responsible for filing and paying applicable state and federal taxes on any winnings. NHA does not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in this agreement or on the App and Website be construed as tax advice.
3.5 NHA Rights
Participation in the App and Website must be made only as specified in the Terms of Use. Failure to comply with these Terms of Use will result in disqualification and, if applicable, prize forfeiture.
Where legal, all Users consent to the use of their name, voice, and likeness/photograph in and in connection with the development, production, distribution and/or exploitation of the App and Website. Winners agree that from the date of notification by NHA of their status as a potential winner and continuing until such time when NHA informs them that they no longer need to do so, that they will make themselves available to NHA for publicity, advertising, and promotion activities.
NHA reserves the right to move Users from a Contest they have entered to substantially similar Contest in certain situations determined by NHA in its sole discretion.
4. Depositing Funds and Free Play
4.1 Users must deposit funds using USD, in order to participate in the Contests. Deposits are non-refundable and cannot be cashed out. Users are only permitted to cashout winnings from a contest entry.
By depositing funds and entering contests, You agree to provide us with a valid mailing address, date of birth and social security number and any other information we may require in order to run appropriate identity checks and comply with applicable rules and regulations. If necessary, You may be required to provide appropriate documentation that allows us to verify you. While your account is pending verification, You may be able to deposit funds and participate in contests, but You will not be able to withdraw any funds from your account until verification is complete.

5. REFUNDS
Refunds can only be offered to users at NHA’s sole discretion.
6. GAME RULES, PRIZES AND PROMOTIONS
6.1 Game of Skill
NHA is a game of skill. Winners are determined by the criteria stated in each Contest’s rules located in the account tab. For each Contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant professional sports information and confidence level statistics to accumulate the most amount of confidence points. Confidence points are accumulated through the performance of individual athletes in sporting events. NHA offers contests for professional and collegiate sporting events taking place on a single day.
6.2 Entry Fees
For the various Contests offered by NHA, We announce the entry fee, if any, in advance, on the Contest’s page on the App and Website.
6.3 Prizes
Prize pools are announced, in advance, and can be found by clicking on the info icon within any Contest. Winners are generally posted on the App and Website at the conclusion of each Contest, and prizes will be awarded instantaneously except in cases of technical failure or when technical failure or other reasons prevent such timely payout. Winners may be requested via email or regular mail to return an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement, and/or appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification. Any prize notification returned to NHA as undeliverable may result in the winner’s disqualification and the subsequent selection of an alternate winner. At the end of each Contest, the tentative winners are announced but remain subject to final verification. The Users in each Contest who fulfill all eligibility requirements and comply with all applicable rules may win the prizes as outlined in the posted details of such Contest. Prize calculations are based on the results as of the time when final scoring is tabulated by NHA. Prizes won are added to EACH winner’s account.
Once winners are announced by NHA, the scoring results will not be changed based on official adjustments made by sports leagues. However, NHA reserves the right to make adjustments as they see fit based on errors or irregularities in the transmission of the results information or in the calculation of the results. NHA has no obligation to delay the awarding of a prize in the anticipation of any such adjustment, and NHA reserves the right to reverse payments in the event of any such adjustment. You agree to cooperate with our efforts to reverse payments.
No substitution or transfer of a prize is permitted. All taxes associated with the receipt or uses of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. Should the awarding of any Contest prizes to winners be challenged by any legal authority, NHA reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award prizes or make adjustments to the prizes. In all disputes arising out of the determination of the winner of any Contests offered on the App and Website, NHA is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.
Prizes will only be awarded if a Contests runs. NHA reserves the right to cancel Contests at any time. In the event of a cancellation, all applicable entry fees will be refunded to the user, will be refunded to the User, except as specifically provided in these Terms of Use.
Each Contest is governed by its own set of official rules. We encourage you to read such Contest Rules before participating.
Below is the criteria regarding any ties that may occur at the conclusion of a Contest:
Should a tie occur in a Contest, the Users who tie shall split the prizes allotted for ALL of the places that those Users tied for. For example, if in a certain Contest, the first place prize is $100 , the second place prize is $50 and the third place prize is $0, if two Users tie for first place and a third User finishes in third place, the two first place Users will split the prizes allotted for first and second place ($100 + $50), and thus each first place User would earn $75, and the third place winner would win $0.
In the event that there are more prize positions than Users, NHA reserves the right to not payout the excess prize money.
7. CONTEST STATISTICS AND LIVE SCORING
7.1 To the extent that we offer ‘live’ statistics during Contests, all ‘live’ statistics and other information provided through the App and Website and related information sources are unofficial. Live sports statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and they are not used to determine the results of our Contests. While NHA and its vendors use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither NHA nor its third party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the App and Website and related information sources. NHA and its third party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the App and Website and related information sources, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.
8. PAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL OF PRIZES
Winners are posted on the App and Website and can be found in the NHA History section located in the account tab.
Users may withdraw their prize by using the “claim your prize” option located in the account tab on the App and Website. Users may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to a Driver’s License, Proof of Residence, Social Security Number, and/or any information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested by NHA in order to complete the withdrawal of prizes. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such User did not comply with these Terms of Use and Rules in any manner. No substitution or transfer of prizes is permitted.
We also may conduct checks for compliance with our Terms, including anti-fraud checks on playing patterns and deposits prior to processing a withdrawal, and we may request additional information before permitting a withdrawal. Subject to such checks, You may close your account and withdraw your deposits and/or winnings at any time and for any reason.
Deposits, and player winnings after contests are finished, are held in a separate, segregated bank account by NHA Player Reserve LLC, a subsidiary of No House Advantage LLC. No House Advantage may not use these funds to cover its operating expenses or for other purposes. User withdrawals will be made from this segregated bank account, and checks issued from that account may bear the name of No House Advantage’s subsidiary. Vendors, players, and creditors shall be aware that the funds in the segregated account are the property of NHA Player Reserve LLC, and do not belong to No House Advantage, LLC and are not available to creditors of No House Advantage, LLC, except for players whose funds are held in such account.

a. Either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.
b. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
c. The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1.800.352.5267. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Company will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Company will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $30,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
12.2 Class Action Waiver
a. The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND COMPANY 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
12.3 Location
Arbitration will shall be initiated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court Los Angeles County, CA, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
12.4 Exception–Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims
a. Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
12.5 30-Day Right to Opt Out
a. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: No House Advantage, 375 N La Cienega Blvd. Unit 514 Los Angeles, CA 90048.
