non-exclusive right and license to use, process, store, and

and you expressly waive any privacy rights you may otherwise

Rewards
Users of BlockGames earn Credits and digital items in exchange
for certain activities such as building out their universal
player profile, activating games, sharing data from third-party
games like reaching gameplay milestones, completing tasks,
referral’s and participating in virtual events. The number of
Credits and digital items earned for actions with the Services
and in games discovered through BlockGames varies and is not the
same for all BlockGames Users. Different Users might receive
different amounts of Credits, even for identical actions or
interactions.
The User can redeem Credits for different rewards BlockGames
makes available in the catalog for each User. The rewards may
include gift cards, gift certificates, prepaid cash cards,
third-party game content, digital items or contest tickets
(collectively “Rewards”). The representative value of Credits
will be applied against the pre-tax purchase amount (i.e.,
excluding taxes, fees, and shipping and handling charges) for
each Reward. The User is responsible for all federal, state, and
local taxes and any other costs of accepting and using the
Reward.
The
specific requirements to earn Credits may be viewed within the
Services or where we present an opportunity for the User to earn
Credits. Restrictions apply to earning Credits, digital items
and ultimately Rewards, including (i) User’s ability to
participate in the Rewards Program itself (ii) the allowable
frequency of activities (iii) the number of Credits the User can
earn for a given activity (iv) the activities or Rewards
available (v) the number of Credits required for particular
Rewards (vi) the number of Credits or Rewards the User can earn
during a given time frame, which is also subject to the limits
Game partners place on providing information about certain
gameplay data (e.g. in-app purchases). In-game purchase history
in eligible games counts for Users to earn Credits or Rewards
only where BlockGames receives gameplay data from game
partners.
Credits cannot be redeemed for cash or in any way resold,
exchanged or returned for a cash refund, unless required by law.
Credits are promotional and have no cash, monetary or other
value. While we may use terms like "buy", "purchase", "earn" or
"currency" to reference Credits, we do so only for convenience,
and such terms in no way indicate that BlockGames is offering
real-world fiat currency. If the User do not earn any Credits
within a 90-day period, Credits will expire and will not be
available to redeem for Rewards. We provide up to thirty days’
notice of Credits expiration in an account that is not
terminated if notice is required under laws that apply to the
User.
To
redeem Credits for Rewards, the User will have to visit the
dashboard within the Services to see available Credits and
select from the catalog, those Rewards available to the User.
The BlockGames are not responsible
for any improper fulfillment of an obligation by the Games or
any Third Parties whom the User should contact directly for
customer support for problems with games or any Third-Party
Components (e.g., when Games does not send information to
BlockGames to assure usage is tracked for earning
Credits).
The User understands that we are not liable for the activity
of the companies or Third Parties that offer gift cards or other
items. BlockGames is not responsible for any lost, stolen or
malfunctioning Rewards except to the extent caused by gross
negligence or willful misconduct of BlockGames. For instance,
the User may be required to use the gift cards within a
particular time period, and there may be limitations to their
use or redemption. The User should carefully read any terms and
policies that may apply, as they are separate from this
Agreement, and also separate from User’s relationship with
BlockGames. If the User terminates or close the account, the
Credits may be burned and eliminated without right to recovery.
Contests
We may, in our sole discretion, run certain contests
(“Contests”) for Users from time to time. Such contests may
offer event participation using Tickets entry, or incentives for
certain User actions, such as reaching certain milestones in
playing games or completing tasks in connection with the Rewards
Program.
Certain contests (e.g. sweepstakes) are available only
in jurisdictions where applicable laws permit them. Rewards won
through Contests will be applied to your account after meeting
specific requirements set out in the terms and conditions that
apply to each Contest (“Contest Terms”) and will apply in
addition to these Terms. The specific number of digital items
available from a Promotion will be provided in applicable
Contest Terms on the Platform.
Other requirements, conditions, and exclusions may apply. When
you participate in a Contest, it is your responsibility to check
the Contest Terms on the Platform.
