- ARBITRATION OF CLAIMS PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. WE WANT YOU TO KNOW IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. In the unlikely event that we do not meet your satisfaction, we prefer to specify now what each of us should expect in order to avoid any confusion later. Accordingly, you and EdGame agree to the following resolution process. To begin with, you agree that that any claim that you might have against us regarding these Terms of Use, the EdGame Services, or the Properties must be resolved through binding arbitration before the UK Arbitration Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
It’s important to us that we address any issues you might have promptly. To help us do that, you agree to begin any arbitration within one year after your claim arose; otherwise, your claim is waived. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, EdGame is happy to give you the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction as long as you proceed only on an individual basis.
Because we prefer to resolve our issues with you directly, you agree to arbitrate with EdGame only in your individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. As such, your claims may not be joined with any other claims and there shall be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative. Arbitration hearings will be held in London, UK.
It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you’re not sure what all of this means, of course please feel free to ask an attorney. Since we always prefer to find ways to satisfy you as quickly and efficiently as possible, before initiating any arbitration proceeding, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with EdGame for at least 30 days.
To do that, please send your full name and contact information, your concern and your proposed solution by email to us at: ed@ed-game.com
- GENERAL INFORMATION Export Controls. Software and the transmission of applicable technical data, if any, in connection with the EdGame Services are subject to export controls.

In the event of a claim by EdGame against you, you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts located where EdGame pursues its claim against you, which may include courts in London of the UK.
No Waiver/Reliance. If you see other parties violating these Terms, we would appreciate it if you would let us know at ed@ed-game.com (subject line: “TOU Violation”). Precisely how EdGame responds to a party that is violating these Terms will be determined after carefully analyzing all of the facts and circumstances of a particular case.
You may not rely upon EdGame’s precise response with respect to one party or one situation as any indication of what EdGame might do with respect to another party or another situation, even if the parties or situations appear to you to be similar. Similarly, if we fail to act in response to a violation of these Terms of Use, you should not assume that we do not object to the violation or even that we are aware of it. In addition, you may not construe a waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use with respect to any party as a waiver of that provision (or any other provision) with respect to either that party or any other party.
Further, EdGame’s decision to delay exercising or enforcing any right or remedy under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy. Even if EdGame acts in a way that appears to you to be inconsistent with these Terms of Use, EdGame’s action shall not be deemed a waiver or constructive amendment of these Terms. Integration, Amendment, and Severability. Please note that these Terms of Use, including EdGame’s Privacy Policy which is incorporated in these Terms and any end user license agreement that might accompany EdGame authorized applications, features and devices, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and EdGame and govern your use of the EdGame Services (including your use of the Content) (but excludes any services, if any, that EdGame may provide to you under a separate signed written agreement), and completely replaces any prior agreements between you and EdGame in relation to the EdGame Services.
Except as set forth in Section 2 above, these Terms may not be amended or varied except in a writing signed by EdGame. Although we understand that electronic or digital signatures are frequently viewed as the equivalent of traditional written signatures these days, for these purposes, a signature or “signed” writing or written agreement may not include an electronic or digital signature.
These Terms of Use operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, you and we agree that the provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
