by our copyrights or trademarks or those of our users.
You may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in
the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative
works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display
or in any way exploit any of the materials or content
or our site in whole or in part.
You are solely responsible for all materials, whether
publicly posted or privately transmitted, that you upload,
post, email, transmit or otherwise make available on our
site ("Your Content"). You certify that you
own all intellectual property rights in Your Content.
You hereby grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free,
nonexclusive, sub-licensable license to use, reproduce,
distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transfer,
transmit, distribute and publish Your Content and subsequent
versions of Your Content for the purposes of (i) displaying
Your Content on our site, (ii) distributing Your Content,
either electronically or via other media, to users seeking
to download or otherwise acquire it, and/or (iii) storing
Your Content in a remote database accessible by end users.
This license shall apply to the distribution and the storage
of Your Content in any form, medium, or technology now
known or later developed.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality
of the content on our site. You may not rely on any of
this content, including, but not limited to, cheats, trainers,
walkthroughs, FAQs, guides, hints, easter eggs, savegames,
Action Replay codes and X-Box saves. Without limitation,
we are not responsible for postings by users in the user
comment or public profile area of our site. Our site also
may contain information about products and services offered
by third parties, including product specifications, pricing,
availability, performance and editorial commentary. You
may be exposed to content that you find offensive, indecent,
objectionable or that is inaccurate and you bear all risks
associated with using that content. We have the right,
but not the obligation, to remove any content that may,
in our sole discretion, violate these Terms or that is
otherwise objectionable. Your
Use of Third Party Sites
Our site contains links to other Internet sites owned
by third parties. Your use of each of those sites is subject
to the conditions, if any, that each of those sites has
posted. We have no control over sites that are not ours
and we are not responsible for any changes to or content
on them. Our inclusion on our site of any third party
content or a link to a third party site is not an endorsement
of that content or third party site.
We do not sell, resell or license any of the products
or services that we review or list on our site, and we
disclaim any responsibility for or liability related to
them. Your correspondence or related activities with third
parties, including payment transactions and goods delivery
transactions, are solely between you and that third party.
You agree that we will not be responsible or liable for
any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result
of any of your transactions with third parties. Any questions,
complaints or claims related to any product or service
should be directed to the appropriate vendor.
Cheat Happens Fee-Based Services
Some of the Services require you to pay a fee, as described
in the specific conditions included where those Services
are offered. You agree to pay all fees and charges that
you incur. Unless otherwise noted, all currency references
are in U.S. dollars. We may, upon notice if required by
applicable laws, at any time change the amount of, or
basis for determining, any fee or charge, or institute
new fees or charges. All fees and charges are payable
in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time
the fee or charge becomes payable. "Lifetime Membership",
as is offered by our website is good for the lifetime
of the website and not the lifetime of the subscriber.
No refunds or partial refunds will be given should the
website cease operations or become unable to provide content
updates for any reason.
Some of the content on our site is restricted to only those that subscribe to our fee-based membership. You agree not to share this content with other sites or users, specifically those that have been marked "CUSTOMIZED" for your account. These files have encrypted information that can be traced back to the originating user. Violation of this policy will result in your account being deactivated without refund. Some "CUSTOMIZED" trainers require an Internet connection in order to validate the file's authenticity. No information, personal or otherwise, is sent to or collected by Cheat Happens during this process. Files created for users that have been banned for violating our Terms of Service will fail the authenticity check and no longer function.

OUR THIRD PARTY CONTENT PROVIDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE

BY LAW. Arbitration
Cheat Happens may elect to resolve any controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or our
site by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Any such controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an
individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any
arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other
party. The arbitration shall be conducted in Texarkana,
Arkansas, and judgment on the arbitration award may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Either
you or we may seek any interim or preliminary relief from
a court of competent jurisdiction in Texarkana, Arkansas
necessary to protect the rights or property of you or
Cheat Happens (or its agents, suppliers, and subcontractors)
pending the completion of arbitration. Miscellaneous
We may be required by state or federal law to notify you
of certain events. You hereby acknowledge and consent
that such notices will be effective upon our posting them
on our site or delivering them to you through email. You
may update your email address by visiting the Services
where you have provided contact information. If you do
not provide us with accurate information, we cannot be
held liable if we fail to notify you.
Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision
of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right
or provision.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the
contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of
or related to use of our site or these Terms must be filed
within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action
arose or be forever barred.
These Terms, including all terms, conditions and policies
that are incorporated into these terms by reference, constitute
the entire agreement between you and Cheat Happens and
govern your use of our site, super ceding any prior agreements
that you may have with us.
These Terms shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Arkansas, and the parties irrevocably
consent to bring any action to enforce these Terms before
an arbitration panel or before a court of competent jurisdiction
in Texarkana, Arkansas if seeking interim or preliminary
relief or enforcement of an arbitration award.
If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then the
invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded
by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches
the intent of the original provision and the remainder
of the Terms shall continue in effect. |
