TERMS & CONDITIONS

To participate in Events, you must create an account through the App (your “Account”). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

2.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account credentials and for all activities that occur under your Account.

Each individual may maintain only one Account. Creating, using, or maintaining multiple Accounts is prohibited. If we determine that you maintain multiple Accounts, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate all such Accounts without notice.

2.4 Account Restrictions

You may not sell, transfer, assign, license, or share your Account or Account credentials with any other person. Any use of your Account by another person, or any attempt to access another person’s Account, is a material violation of these Organized Play Terms.

3.1 License

Subject to your compliance with these Organized Play Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the App solely for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with Azuki TCG organized play.

In connection with your use of the App, you agree not to, and will not permit any third party to:

• use the App for any purpose other than its intended purpose of facilitating Azuki TCG organized play;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying algorithms, or data structures of the App;
• modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App;

• introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code into the App;
• use the App to transmit unsolicited communications, spam, or advertising;
• impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity; or
• use the App in any manner that violates applicable law or these Organized Play Terms.

3.3 Availability

We do not guarantee that the App will be available at all times or that it will be free from errors, interruptions, or defects. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. We are not responsible for any damage or loss resulting from the unavailability of the App, including any inability to register for or participate in an Event.

3.4 Updates

We may from time to time release updates, patches, or new versions of the App. You agree to install and use the most current version of the App as a condition of continued participation in Events. We may require that you update the App before accessing certain features or registering for Events.

3.5 Device Compatibility

You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining a compatible device and internet connection necessary to access and use the App. We make no representations or warranties regarding the App’s compatibility with any particular device, operating system, or browser. You bear all costs associated with your device and internet access.

4.1 Event Registration

Certain Events may require advance registration through the App. Registration may be subject to capacity limits, eligibility requirements, entry fees, or other conditions specified in the applicable Event rules. Registration for an Event does not guarantee participation; we reserve the right to limit, restrict, or refuse registration at our sole discretion.

4.2 Entry Fees

Certain Events may require payment of an entry fee as a condition of participation. All entry fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in the applicable Event rules or as required by applicable law. If an Event is cancelled by us, entry fees for that Event will be refunded to the original payment method.

4.3 Event Rules

Each Event will be governed by the official Azuki TCG game rules and any supplemental Event-specific rules, formats, and guidelines published by us (collectively, the “Event Rules”). Event Rules may be published through the App, on tcg.azuki.com, or communicated at the Event venue. You agree to comply with all applicable Event Rules. In the event of a conflict between these Organized Play Terms and Event Rules specific to a particular Event, the Event-specific rules shall control with respect to that Event.

4.4 Code of Conduct

All participants in Events are expected to conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike, respectful, and fair manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you agree that you will not:

• engage in cheating, collusion, match-fixing, or any form of unsportsmanlike conduct;
• use marked cards, counterfeit cards, unauthorized proxies, or any other means to gain an unfair advantage;
• intentionally stall, slow-play, or otherwise manipulate the pace of a match to gain a competitive advantage;
• harass, threaten, intimidate, or use abusive, discriminatory, or offensive language toward any other participant, judge, organizer, or spectator;
• engage in disruptive behavior that interferes with the orderly conduct of an Event;
• misrepresent your identity, eligibility, ranking, or any other information in connection with an Event; or
• violate any applicable law or regulation in connection with your participation in an Event.

4.5 Deck Registration and Validation

Certain Events may require you to submit a deck list prior to or at the start of the Event. Submitted deck lists must comply with the applicable format, card legality, and construction rules specified in the Event Rules. You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and legality of your submitted deck list. We reserve the right to verify deck lists at any time during an Event, and any discrepancy between your submitted deck list and the deck you are using may result in penalties up to and including disqualification.

4.6 Judges and Rulings

Events may be overseen by judges appointed by us or by authorized tournament organizers (each, a “Judge”). Judges are authorized to interpret and enforce the Event Rules and to make rulings on disputes, infractions, and other matters arising during an Event. Rulings made by the head Judge at an Event are final and binding with respect to that Event. Nothing in this Section limits your rights under Section 11 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution) of these Organized Play Terms with respect to disputes arising under these Organized Play Terms themselves.

6.1 Prize Eligibility

Prizes may be awarded at certain Events as specified in the applicable Event Rules. To be eligible to receive a prize, you must: (a) have complied with these Organized Play Terms and all applicable Event Rules; (b) not have been disqualified from the Event; (c) meet all eligibility requirements specified for the Event; and (d) complete any required prize claim documentation, including tax forms, within the timeframe specified by us.

6.2 Prize Description and Fulfillment

Prizes may consist of cash, physical products, promotional items, invitations to future Events, or other items as specified in the applicable Event Rules. All prize descriptions and values are determined by us and are approximate. We reserve the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value at our sole discretion. Prizes are non-transferable and may not be redeemed for cash (unless the prize itself is a cash prize). Physical prizes will be delivered to the address you provide; we are not responsible for prizes lost, stolen, or damaged after delivery to the carrier.

6.3 Taxes

You are solely responsible for all federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, and assessments applicable to any prizes you receive, including income taxes. For prizes valued at or above the threshold requiring tax reporting under applicable law (currently $600 for U.S. recipients), you may be required to provide a valid taxpayer identification number and complete an IRS Form W-9 (or applicable equivalent) as a condition of receiving the prize. Failure to provide required tax documentation within the timeframe specified by us will result in forfeiture of the prize.

6.4 Forfeiture

A prize will be forfeited if: (a) we determine that the winner violated these Organized Play Terms, the Event Rules, or applicable law in connection with the Event; (b) the winner fails to claim the prize or provide required documentation within the specified timeframe; or (c) the winner is found to be ineligible. Forfeited prizes may, at our sole discretion, be awarded to an alternate winner or retained by us.

7.1 Assumption of Risk

By attending an in-person Event, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with your attendance and participation, including risks of personal injury, property damage, illness, or death. You acknowledge that participation in in-person Events involves inherent risks, including exposure to communicable diseases, and you agree to comply with any health and safety protocols we or the venue may implement.

7.2 Venue Rules

In-person Events may be held at third-party venues. You agree to comply with all rules, policies, and guidelines of the applicable venue, including capacity limits, security requirements, and prohibited items. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any venue or its personnel.

7.3 Media Release

By attending an in-person Event, you grant us and our designees an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive license to photograph, film, record, and otherwise capture your name, likeness, voice, image, and statements in any media, and to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and create derivative works of such materials for any purpose, including promotional, marketing, editorial, and commercial purposes, without additional notice, consent, or compensation to you. If you do not wish to be recorded, you must notify us in writing prior to the Event and refrain from entering areas designated for recording or live broadcast.

7.4 Personal Property

You are solely responsible for your personal property, including your Azuki TCG cards and related belongings, at all times during an in-person Event. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged personal property.

10.1 Enforcement Actions

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Organized Play Terms, the Event Rules, or applicable law, we may take one or more of the following actions without prior notice:

• issue a verbal or written warning;
• impose a game loss, match loss, or other in-Event penalty;
• disqualify you from an Event, with or without forfeiture of prizes;
• suspend your Account and your eligibility to participate in Events for a specified period;
• permanently ban you from all Events and terminate your Account; or
• pursue any other remedies available under applicable law.

10.2 Effect of Termination

Upon termination or suspension of your Account: (a) your license to use the App will immediately cease; (b) you will lose access to any data, content, rankings, or standings associated with your Account; and (c) any pending Event registrations will be cancelled without refund (unless the suspension is later reversed). Sections of these Organized Play Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 6.3, 7.1, 7.3, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14.

10.3 Voluntary Termination

You may terminate your Account at any time through the Account settings in the App or by contacting us at tcg-support@azuki.com. Termination of your Account will not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to termination.

14.1 Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Organized Play Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the App or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App or participation in Events following the posting of modified Organized Play Terms constitutes your acceptance of such modifications. If you do not agree to the modified terms, you must discontinue use of the App and participation in Events.

14.2 Severability

If any provision of these Organized Play Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

14.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Organized Play Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or of our right to enforce it in the future.

14.4 Entire Agreement

These Organized Play Terms, together with the General Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable Event Rules, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, representations, or agreements, whether oral or written.

14.5 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Organized Play Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Organized Play Terms without restriction. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void.
