1.5 PROHIBITED USERS. Employees, affiliates, and agents of the Company, as well as individuals with access to materials or code that could provide an unfair advantage, are expressly prohibited from participating in any paid gameplay services or contests.
2. User Accounts
2.1 Creating and Safeguarding your Account. To use the Services, you need to create an account by providing your mobile number (“Account”). Upon creation of your account you may be required to provide a photo of the User along with the User’s photo ID. Account access also requires access to a supported device and an internet connection. You must provide accurate, complete, and updated information for your Account. You can access, edit and update your Account by going to your profile page in the App. You are solely responsible for any activity associated with your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your password. You agree that you will not disclose your Account password to anyone. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account.

3. Description of the app.
3.1 In General. The App offers Users the opportunity to compete in a fast-paced, skill-based competition (“Contests”) that pits Users against each other in a virtual coin-flipping challenge. When Users enter a Contest, they are presented with a countdown (3, 2, 1) to prepare for the start. Once the countdown ends, a number of virtual coins appear on the mobile screen, each in a random location. Users must flip all coins as quickly as possible by interacting with them on their device’s touchscreen. A User’s speed, reflexes, and hand-eye coordination are tested as they race to flip all coins in the shortest time possible. Once Users have flipped all coins, their times are compared, and the User with the lowest time – indicating the fastest performance – is the winner of the Contest. The randomized placement of coins ensures that each Contest presents a unique challenge, keeping the competition fresh and fair for all participants. Each User in a competition will be presented with an identical layout of coins to flip – meaning that each User is given the same starting conditions and the only differentiating factor is the relative skill of the players.
3.2 Games of Skill. Each Contest offered within the App is designed as a game of skill that rewards the top performing players with the highest score or scores. A “game of skill” is defined as a game where the outcome is determined predominantly by the skill, ability, knowledge, dexterity, or mental or physical adroitness of the player, rather than by pure chance or luck. Skills used in the determination of the winner in the Contest depend on the specific nature of the Contest, and include dexterity, hand-eye coordination, strategy, logic, and speed. Each player is presented with identical playing conditions at the start of the game or contest, meaning that comparative skill is the sole determining factor.
3.3 Contest Types and Description.
(a) Each Contest offered via the Services will include a description that sets forth (i) the requirements and other rules for participation in the Contest, if any, and (ii) any applicable prize amount that may be won from the Contest (the “Prizes”).
3.4 Updates and Improvements. We reserve the right to make changes, updates, or discontinue the Services (or any part or content thereof) at any time, with or without prior notice to you. We will not be held liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services. We may also impose limitations on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. It is your responsibility to check for and install updates to the Services. We may release updates to improve functionality or enhance features. Some updates may be mandatory, and you must install them to continue using the Services. We are not responsible for any issues arising from your failure to install required updates.
4. Prizes and Winnings
4.1 Changes to Contests and Prizes. The Company may, at any time, revise or change the requirements to entry, availability, specifications, content, descriptions or features, as applicable, of any Contests and Prizes. While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the Contests and Prizes, we are unable to warrant that the descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a Contest or Prize itself is not as described on the Services, your sole remedy is to contact us to request a correction of your Account. The inclusion of any Contests for entry or Prizes to be won through participation in the Contests at a particular time does not imply or warrant future availability.
4.2 Prizes and Distribution of Prizes. Prizes will be credited to the Users account. If you are eligible to receive a Prize, we may require that you provide proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation in the applicable Contest, eligible to participate in accordance with the Contest description and these Terms, and that your participation was in accordance therewith. If you do not provide such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, you may forfeit the Prize. We retain sole, absolute, and non-appealable discretion to determine the winner of each Contest. By participating in any Contest, you agree to be bound by our final decision, including and up to disqualification, forfeiture of prize funds, or any other remedy available under these Terms and under the law.
4.3 Taxes. If you are a United States resident, we may send you an IRS Form W-9 to request your social security number so that we may send you a 1099-MISC or other appropriate form if your Winnings total six hundred dollars ($600) or more in any given calendar year. Depending on the state in which you reside, we may also send you additional federal or state tax forms. If you fail to complete and return the IRS Form W-9 when required, we may suspend or terminate your Account or access to the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we may withhold from your existing account balance and/or delay deposit of any Prize amount into your bank account. We may withhold any amount required to be withheld by applicable laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation. You are solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes related to your Prizes in accordance with all applicable laws.
