It is your responsibility to check the Terms of Service periodically for changes. Updated versions of the Terms will never apply retroactively and the updated Terms will give the exact date they go into effect. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to the Terms of Service means you accept those new terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms prior to each use. In addition, some services offered through the Service may be subject to additional terms and conditions adopted by Dead Bob Games. Your use of those services means you agree to be subject to those additional terms and conditions, which are incorporated into these Terms of Service by this reference.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Informal Resolution
It is Dead Bob Games’s goal that the Services meet your expectations and live up to our promises to you. Dead Bob Games is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution that satisfies you; however, we can only do this if we know about and understand your issue. Therefore, for any problem or dispute that you may have with Dead Bob Games, you acknowledge and agree that you will first give Dead Bob Games an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. In order to initiate this dispute resolution process, you must first send us a written description of your problem or dispute within thirty (30) days of the Services being performed by sending an email to: dispute@deadbobgames.com or by mail to Dead Bob Games, 6929 La Manga Dr, Dallas, TX, 75248 Attention: Customer Service.
You then agree to negotiate with Dead Bob Games in good faith about your problem or dispute. This should lead to resolution, but if for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after Dead Bob Games's receipt of your written description of it, you agree to the further dispute resolution provisions below.
Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate
YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN PROCEED IN COURT. You agree that, except as expressly set forth below, the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of your use of the Services, any booked and performed Service(s), and these Terms of Service, shall be final and binding arbitration, except to the extent that either party has, in any manner infringed upon or violated or threatened to infringe upon or violate the rights of either party or any third party patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy or publicity rights, in which case both sides acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought by either party and/or the applicable third party(ies). You and we acknowledge that the Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under the Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).
Arbitration under these Terms of Service shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Upon your filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees for claims that total less than $75,000. Regardless of the size of the claim, you and we agree to pay our own other fees, costs, and expenses, including those for any attorneys, experts, and witnesses. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief and attorneys' fees and expenses. As a limited exception to the mutual agreement to arbitrate, you and we agree that either party may take claims to small claims court, if the claims qualify for hearing by such court.
The arbitration shall take place in the state and county in which the Service was performed.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SITE OR THE SERVICES, AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE PERMITTED. YOU AGREE TO PROCEED WITH ANY DISPUTE INDIVIDUALLY AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION. In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration.
WE BOTH AGREE THAT, WHETHER ANY CLAIM IS IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND WE BOTH UNDERSTAND THAT BY USING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WE ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHT THAT WE MAY HAVE TO A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL WITH REGARD TO ALL CLAIMS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim of cause of action arising from or relating to use of this Site, App, the Services, or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or will be forever barred.
Indemnification and Release
You agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dead Bob Games, its affiliates, and each of its and its affiliates’ employees, contractors, directors, suppliers, and representatives from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal costs, that arise from or relate to your use or misuse of, or access to, the Service and Content, or otherwise from your User Submissions, violation of the Terms of Service, or infringement by you, or any third party using your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. Dead Bob Games reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will assist and cooperate with Dead Bob Games in asserting any available defenses.
If you are a California resident, you agree to waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides
1542. A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

Except for the Arbitration Agreement set forth under Dispute Resolution and Arbitration, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, these Terms of Service (and any further rules, policies, or guidelines incorporated by reference) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the United States, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, and without application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act or the United Nations Convention of Controls for International Sale of Goods. You agree that Dead Bob Games and its Services are deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Dead Bob Games or its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, agents, directors, officers or shareholders, either specific or general, in any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.
