Please note: Apple does not sponsor WayBetter in any way. No prizes are provided by Apple.

Thank you for using WayBetter, which makes app-based social games that motivate people to improve a range of health-related behaviors. The WayBetter websites, games, and related services are operated by WayBetter Inc. (hereafter, "us", "we", "WayBetter" or the "Company"). By registering, accessing, or using any of WayBetter's websites (including but not limited to www.waybetter.com and www.dietbet.com), any mobile version thereof, or any software system designed to support or permit interaction with the website or its functionality over a network (together the “Site"), you (the "User") signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms of Use" or "Agreement"), whether or not you are a registered member of WayBetter. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice, provided that WayBetter will post the changes to these Terms of Use on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised.

Your continued use of the Site after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to abide by these or any future Terms of Use, then do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the Site. It is your responsibility to regularly check the Site to determine if there have been changes to these Terms of Use and to review said changes.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully as they contain important information regarding your legal rights, remedies, and obligations. These include various limitations and a dispute resolution clause at Section 18 that provides for mandatory arbitration and waiver of class actions. WayBetter’s Terms of Use include WayBetter’s Privacy Policy. This policy is an integral part of WayBetter’s Terms of Use and is subject to all of the provisions of these Terms of Use.

This license is revocable at any time without notice and with or without cause.

6. User Content Posted on the Site.

a. User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the photos, profiles (including your name, image, avatars, and likenesses), messages, notes, text, information, music, video, advertisements, listings, and other content that you upload, publish or display (hereinafter, "post") on or through the Site (collectively the "User Content").

You understand and agree that the Company may, but is not obligated to, review the Site and may delete or remove (without notice) any Site Content or User Content in its sole discretion, for any reason, or no reason, including User Content that in the sole judgment of the Company violates this Agreement or the WayBetter Code of Conduct, might be offensive, illegal, threatening to the safety of users or others, unpleasant, or might violate the rights of users or others.

By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, research or otherwise, on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing, provided that the Company may not use User Content in violation of the Privacy Policy. Aside from the license granted herein, Users retain all rights to their User Content, including the right to remove User Content at any time. If a User removes his or her User Content, then the license granted herein shall automatically expire, except that the Company shall retain such license to the extent that the Company has incorporated such content onto its content sites or in its advertising or promotional materials, and shall have the right to retain archived copies of such content.

c. Submissions. You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Site ("Submissions"), provided by you to the Company are non-confidential and shall become the sole property of the Company.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable law, the Company has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at the Company's sole discretion, members who are deemed to be repeat infringers. The Company may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Site and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement or infringement of the Company's intellectual property rights specifically.

8. Third Party Websites and Content.

a. The Site contains (or you may be sent through the Site to) links to other web sites ("Third Party Sites") as well as articles, photographs, text, graphics, pictures, designs, music, sound, video, information, applications, software, and other content or items belonging to or originating from third parties (the "Third Party Applications, Software or Content"). Such Third Party Sites and Third Party Applications, Software or Content are not investigated, monitored or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for any Third Party Sites accessed through the Site or any Third Party Applications, Software or Content posted on, available through or installed from the Site, including the content, accuracy, offensiveness, opinions, reliability, privacy practices or other policies contained in the Third Party Sites or the Third Party Applications, Software or Content. Inclusion of, linking to, or permitting of the use or installation of any Third Party Site or any Third Party Applications, Software, or Content does not imply approval or endorsement thereof by us. If you decide to leave the Site and access the Third Party Sites or to use or install any Third Party Applications, Software, or Content, you do so at your own risk and you should be aware that our terms and policies no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to which you navigate from the Site or relating to any applications you use or install from the Site.

b. Reference to any products, services, processes, or other information, by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier, or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation thereof, or any affiliation therewith, by the Company. Even if we recommend certain products, we are not offering any warrantees about the quality or safety of such products, either explicit or implied.

9. Disputes between Users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other WayBetter users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor and/or resolve disputes between you and other users. In the event that we do resolve a dispute between or among you and other users, our decision shall be final.

10. WayBetter Fees. WayBetter’s game fees, including payment and refund requirements, are set forth in the various game rules and FAQ’s as well as in these Terms of Use. These fees may be changed or waived from time to time for some or all players, at WayBetter’s discretion. Fees to play in WayBetter games may include per-game flat fees, percentage-based fees, time-based membership dues, fees for organizations and their members, or combinations of the above.

11. Disclaimers.

a. Content. The Company is not responsible or liable in any manner for any User Content or Third Party Applications, Software, or Content posted on or accessible through the Site, whether posted or caused by users of the Site, by WayBetter, by third parties, or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Site. Although we provide rules for user conduct and postings, we do not control and are not responsible for what users post, transmit, or share on the Site and are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable content you may encounter on the Site or in connection with any User Content or Third Party Applications, Software, or Content. The Company is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the Site.

b. Availability and Data Integrity. The Site may be temporarily down from time to time for maintenance or other reasons. The Company assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to, or alteration of, User communications including but not limited to User Content. The Company is not responsible for any technical malfunction or other problems of any telephone network or service, computer systems, servers or providers, computer or mobile phone equipment, software, failure of email or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or at any website or combination thereof, including injury or damage to User's or to any other person's computer, mobile phone, or other hardware or software, related to or resulting from using or downloading materials in connection with the worldwide web and/or in connection with the Site. Under no circumstances shall the Company be responsible for any loss or damage, including any loss or damage to any User Content or personal injury or death or to losses of bets on WayBetter, resulting from anyone's use of the Site, any User Content or Third Party Applications, Software or Content posted on or through the Site or transmitted to Users, or any interactions between users of the Site, whether online or offline.

c. Viruses and Malware. The Company does not represent or warrant that software, content or materials on the Site, or any Third Party Applications, Software, or Content are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free or that the Site, its servers, or any Third Party Applications, Software or Content are free of viruses or other harmful components. Therefore, you should exercise caution in the use and downloading of any such software, content or materials and use industry-recognized software to detect and disinfect viruses.

d. Health Disclaimer. WayBetter is not a medical organization. Nothing contained in this Agreement or on the Site should be construed as medical advice. The information offered by WayBetter and its affiliates should not be interpreted as a substitute for physician consultation, evaluation, or treatment. The User acknowledges that WayBetter has no knowledge of any User's health condition(s) and that User alone is responsible for any actions User takes that may have any health or other risks to User. User shall satisfy himself or herself, including consulting with a physician, before participating in any WayBetter game. WayBetter may from time to time provide advice and comments as to weight loss and other health and wellness issues on its website or through e-mails and other media, including text, graphics, and images. This content is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional review of your particular situation. WayBetter does not endorse or recommend any products, services, procedures or opinions that may be mentioned on its site.

e. Results. We believe our games, when played properly, will help most people to reach their goal including weight loss or maintenance and optimization of running or walking. The Company cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the Site and/or any Third Party Applications, Software, or Content. In no case shall the Company be responsible to you for losing money should you wager on any WayBetter sites. You acknowledge that betting is inherently risky.

f. Not a game of chance. WayBetter games are not games of chance. The intent of the program is to reward participants only for actions over which they have control or influence. The use of this program to reward participants for actions over which they have no control or influence is strictly prohibited.

g. Organizers. WayBetter games may be organized by an individual not associated with the company. These games may be private or open to the public. These Organizers have the right to eject players at their own discretion. Any disputes you have with Organizers must be resolved directly with the Organizer. The Company will not mediate such disputes or take any responsibility for the actions or inactions of game Organizers. h. Hosts. WayBetter games may be hosted by individuals who may or may not be associated with the company. WayBetter is not responsible for any advice or tips they may offer in their games. If Hosts offer specific prizes in their games, they are responsible for delivering those prizes directly to players in the game. WayBetter is under no obligation to fulfill those prizes or incentives.

i. Disqualifications and Ejections. You may be disqualified for a variety of reasons by your game's Organizer or Host, including violating WayBetter's rules, Terms of Use, or for displaying bad sportsmanship in the judgment of your Organizer or Host. If you are disqualified or ejected for any reason, you will not receive a refund. You further acknowledge that your game's Organizer or Host has the absolute and unappealable right to eject anyone in the game. If you are not comfortable giving the Organizer or Host this power, do not play.

j. Excessive Weight Loss. You will be automatically disqualified from DietBet games for excessive weight loss. We do this to discourage players from losing what could be an unhealthy amount of weight, and to prevent players from winning by dint of rapid weight-loss procedures such as bariatric surgeries and liposuction. See individual game rules for disqualification thresholds. If you are disqualified for Excessive Weight Loss, you will not be entitled to a refund.

12. Points.

a. Point awards. Game winnings, as determined by the rules of the various WayBetter games, shall be awarded to players in Points in accordance with the rules of such games. The amount of Points awarded shall be automatically deposited into players' accounts.

12b. Point redemptions. Unexpired Points may be redeemed in whole or in part in cash at any time on the basis of an exchange rate set by WayBetter, currently USD $1.00 for each Point but which may change from time to time at WayBetter’s sole discretion, and may also be applied, optionally or exclusively, for participation in new games or for any other purposes permitted from time to time by WayBetter, including purchases of products and services offered by WayBetter and its partners. The exchange rate when applied to the purchases of products and services may change over time and become higher or lower than USD $1.00 per Point.

In an effort to prevent fraud, WayBetter leverages PayPal’s security. As a condition of cash redemption of Points, players must use a PayPal account in the same name as their WayBetter account. Each WayBetter player must have their own PayPal account, in their name, in order to receive a cash redemption of Points. (Currently, setting up a personal PayPal account is free.) Players must submit to WayBetter a legible copy of a valid government-issued identification in the name that matches the name on both their WayBetter and Paypal accounts. WayBetter will solely utilize this identification information for verification purposes and will not store it any longer than is necessary for this purpose.

If a player is in a region where PayPal is unavailable (a list of regions is published and updated from time to time on PayPal’s website), WayBetter will issue redemptions via bank wire or other alternative means, at its discretion, for a wiring handling fee (currently, $30). Players in countries not supported by PayPal must submit to WayBetter a legible copy of a valid government-issued identification in their name which matches the name on their WayBetter account and on the bank account to which they wish to receive the bank wire.

There is no minimum limit to redemptions; however, for redemptions under $50, WayBetter will add a handling fee (currently, $5) to offset the transactional costs associated with small payouts. We encourage (but do not require) players to accumulate their winnings and enjoy free redemptions once they exceed $50.

WayBetter reserves the right to change or waive payout handling fees and processes for certain members and other users, at its discretion.

c. Expiration of Points. Points in a player’s account shall remain in force for a period of one year from the date of the last activity that changes the number of Points in a player’s account.

d. General. Points are the property of WayBetter and not of the players. They cannot be sold or transferred to any other person or entity, including to other players, and cannot be transferred by operation of law, such as by bankruptcy, inheritance, or divorce. Any such purported transfers shall be null and void. Players shall have no vested rights in Points. They shall have no value except as provided in these rules, and shall under no circumstances have any value after their expiration. WayBetter is not responsible for and will have no liability arising from products and services offered by companies participating in its Points program. WayBetter may, in its discretion, change the Points program rules, awards and special offers, exchange rate, or terminate the program, at any time with or without notice to Points holders.

13. Reservation of Rights. The Company reserves the right, solely in its discretion, to change any and all content, software, and other items used or contained in the Site at any time without notice; modify and/or discontinue the Site at any time without notice; and terminate your username, password and account, should you be in violation of the Terms of Use.

14. Disclaimer of Representations, Etc. THE SITE AND THE SITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS-IS" AND THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN CONTENT, MATERIAL, DATA, OR SOFTWARE (INCLUDING ANY MOBILE CLIENT) FROM OR THROUGH THE SITE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR USE THEREOF AND ANY DAMAGES TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE OR COMPUTER SYSTEM, LOSS OF DATA OR OTHER HARM OF ANY KIND THAT MAY RESULT.

15. Limitation on Liability.

a. IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY OR ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS, SOFTWARE OR CONTENT OR ANY OF THE SITE CONTENT OR OTHER MATERIALS ON, ACCESSED THROUGH OR DOWNLOADED FROM THE SITE, EVEN IF THE COMPANY IS AWARE OR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

b. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, THE COMPANY'S LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US FOR THE SITE DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN NO CASE WILL EXCEED $1,000. THE COMPANY SHALL BEAR NO LIABILITY FOR ANY AMOUNTS LOST THROUGH A BET MADE ON OR THROUGH THE SITE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF NO FEES ARE PAID TO COMPANY FOR USE OF THE SITE, YOU SHALL BE LIMITED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO DAMAGES OF ANY KIND FROM THE COMPANY, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION.

16. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with any User Content, any Third Party Applications, Software or Content you post or share on or through the Site, your use of the Site, your conduct in connection with the Site or with other users of the Site, or any violation of this Agreement or of any law or the rights of any third party.

17. Communications from WayBetter. By playing a WayBetter game you acknowledge that during the game you will automatically receive certain messages related to the game. We default to opt-out because we believe these game-related messages are fundamental to the experience of playing. You may control your notifications preferences from our site and opt-out or (or opt back into) messaging at any time. Please see our Privacy Policy for how we protect the private data that you entrust to us.

18. Mandatory Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES FOR THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE CERTAIN DISPUTES BETWEEN US AND PROVIDES FOR A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS.

The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. You and the Company each waive the right to a trial by jury and to participate in any class action, in a court or in arbitration, with respect to any claim or dispute covered by this provision. Except as specifically provided below, all disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the parties hereto out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Delaware in accordance with the consumer procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall not involve any class action in a court or in arbitration. You acknowledge that that you have been advised that you may consult with an attorney in deciding whether to accept these Terms of Use with their obligation to arbitrate and their waiver of class actions and of trial by jury.

This agreement to arbitrate shall not apply, at the option of the Company, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate the Company’s intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights), and the Company may seek injunctive relief in court to prevent unauthorized use of such rights and shall not be required to arbitrate such dispute.

19. Miscellaneous.

a. Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction. By visiting or using the Site, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and the Company or any of our affiliates. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts in Delaware, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in Delaware.

b. Definitions and Constructions. Unless otherwise specified, the terms "includes", "including", "e.g.,", "for example", and other similar terms are deemed to include the term "without limitation" immediately thereafter. Terms used in these Terms with the initial letter(s) capitalized will have the meaning attributed to them in these Terms.

c. No Agency, Etc. There is no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and us or between us and any other Member or user of the Website.

d. Survival. Although this Agreement may be terminated by you or us at any time and for any reason, the following provisions of these Terms of Use shall survive any such termination: the introductory provisions; all provisions relating to rights and limitations on rights (except that all rights of users shall terminate on the termination of this Agreement); all disclaimer, limitation on liability, and indemnity provisions; and Sections 18 and 19 of this Agreement.

e. Prohibited Use. Use of the Site where prohibited is void.

f. Entire Agreement. These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the use of the Site, superseding any prior agreements between you and the Company relating to your use of the Site. This Agreement may not be changed orally.

g. Other. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance. If any provision of these Terms of Use shall be held invalid or deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision.

Membership Provisions

REGISTRATION. To fully use the WayBetter Membership Service, you must register by email as a member by providing a password, valid email address and valid credit card information. You must provide complete and accurate registration information to WayBetter and notify us if your information changes.

MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS

Auto billing; Subscription Fees; Free Trial Terms. WayBetter membership is a paid, auto-renewing subscription service. If you purchase a subscription by accepting our Free Trial offer, you are agreeing to automatic (recurring) billing, and agree to pay the charges made to your account in connection therewith. Your subscription, and periodic billing of your account, will continue indefinitely until canceled by you.

Commencement of your membership occurs upon the successful completion of the sign-up process, which may or may not include a Free Trial. If a Free Trial is provided, at its conclusion, automatic billing will be initiated based on the terms specified in your membership agreement (e.g., every 6 months, every month, etc.), unless you opt to cancel. In the absence of a Free Trial, billing will commence immediately upon sign-up. Cancellation requests will become effective at the conclusion of your current billing period. It is important to be aware that if you choose to cancel during a billing period, such as within the first month of a six-month billing cycle, no refunds will be provided for the remaining duration of that billing period.

At certain times, we may offer special promotional offers ("Special Offers") that are billed at a discounted rate. These offers may have a different Free Trial period length, or no Free Trial period. In these cases, you will begin to be billed at the time payment information is collected, or, if a Free Trial is being offered, at the end of the special Free Trial period.

These terms will always be disclosed on the payment screen at the time of sign up, prior to our acceptance of payment.

In all instances, you will continue to be automatically billed monthly after your Free Trial ends (or immediately if there is no Free Trial). The pricing of our Services may vary periodically. We cannot guarantee that the price of your Subscription is the lowest available, or historically lowest or best, price. You will be charged in accordance with the billing terms you agreed to at the time you signed up.

Players winning games will be awarded redeemable Reward Points in accordance with WayBetter's Terms of Use.

Quarterly and Annual Subscriptions.

In certain circumstances, we will offer subscriptions for a longer term (for example, 3 months, 6 months or even a year). These longer-term subscriptions are charged in full upon purchase, and automatically renew for the same duration as the initial subscription term you selected (for example, if you initially purchased a 3 month subscription, your subscription will automatically renew for three months; 6 month subscriptions will automatically renew for six months, and so on). The amount due for the next renewal term will be due and immediately payable in full and charged as of the first day of such renewal term. You can always cancel before your next renewal term by logging into your account, and following the cancellation instructions below ("How to Cancel").

Charge Authorization When you sign up for our Service and provide a payment method to us, you are granting your express consent and are expressly authorizing us (and our designated payment processor) to automatically charge you periodically for the Service.

If you provide a payment method and our charge results in an overdraft, chargeback or other fee from your bank, you alone are responsible for that fee.

HOW TO CANCEL

If you do not wish for your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, email support@waybetter.com with your account email and notice of cancellation, or by such other means as we may provide from time to time. We will attempt to process all cancellation requests within 72 hours after we receive your request. We reserve the right to collect fees, surcharges, or costs incurred before your cancellation takes effect. If you terminate your paid subscription, your subscription will remain active until the end of your then-current subscription period. If you signed up directly in the iOS or Android app (not via our website), you will need to manage your subscription yourself in the App Store or Google Play Store. Subscriptions initiated in the iOS or Android app cannot be cancelled by our customer service team.

EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION OR ACCESS THE APPLICATION, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED. TO CANCEL, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE ("HOW TO CANCEL”).

Changes to Membership Program WayBetter may change, modify, add, remove, suspend, cancel or discontinue any aspect of its membership program and subscriptions including the functionality, content, and/or availability of any features of its membership program at any time in WayBetter's sole discretion.

WayBetter may increase its fees for any subscription effective the first day of a billing renewal by giving you notice of the new fees at least thirty (30) days before you are billed. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees.

WayBetter's Code of Conduct

We encourage good-natured jocularity in the spirit of friendly competition but we also intend for WayBetter to be a place where people respect the rights and feelings of others, including third party intellectual property rights.

WayBetter's Anti-Cheating Provisions

WayBetter expects and requires fairness on the part of its players. To assure compliance with its standards, Waybetter reserves the right to require additional audit of results. Some players may be required to submit additional proof of their final submission within 24 hours of being requested to do so. Instructions on the process will be sent to the player upon being notified of this requirement. Non-compliance by a player with these requirements will result in forfeiture of a player's winning proceeds and initial bet. Further, Waybetter may in its complete discretion decline to permit any individuals to participate in its games. By enrolling in one of WayBetter's games, the player accepts all of WayBetter's terms and conditions and acknowledges that the decisions of WayBetter's officials shall be final and conclusive with respect to all matters involving WayBetter games. SUBMISSION OF FRAUDULENT INFORMATION NOT ONLY VIOLATES WAYBETTER'S GAME RULES BUT MAY SUBJECT THE PLAYER TO CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
