User acknowledges that the return or forfeiture of any contest winnings or funds in no way shall prevent Dober from further pursuing civil or criminal charges against users engaged in improper, fraudulent or any activity that violates these Terms related to Company Services.

1.11.4. Contest Term

Contests shall have the duration as required for the completion of the respective sporting events for the contest at hand. Generally our contests are designed to last between one day and one week, but given that users can create their own contests with our highly granular system, some contests may have a longer duration.

1.12. Marketing and Promotion

Any winner of a prize above $5,000.00 USD may be required to submit a video recording detailing their experience that can then be used for advertising and publishing purposes before a payout request for such earnings will be processed.

1.13. Bonuses and Special Offers

In the event that a user accepts a bonus or promotional offer, any deposits from such account will be required to complete a minimum of a one time play through of the deposit (so a user must enter contests for the total value of deposit). 

Some bonuses will be released as a user enters real money contests. In the event that a user is awarded such a bonus and the user fails to complete the real money entries required to clear the bonus amount within 45 days, Dober reserves the right to cancel such bonuses.

In the event that Dober shall offer a bonus based on deposit alone, and the user immediately withdraws the deposit after the provision of the bonus, Dober will retain the right to retract such bonus or bonuses. In any event where Dober, in its sole discretion, determines a user is abusing the bonus system, Dober retains the right to cancel any and all bonuses such a user might have received.

Each bonus includes specific bonus terms and conditions. Please consult the applicable bonus terms and conditions before accepting a bonus. If your bonus has any of the following conditions, please note the following:

Play Through: A bonus might not be convertable to cash until a certain amount of play has been completed. This is measured in multiples of the bonus amount. If a user receives a $100 bonus with 2x playthrough, that means the user must enter $200 worth of contests before the bonus amount can be converted to cash.

Sticky: A sticky bonus is an amount that will be taken back before the amount can be converted to cash. For example, if a user receives $100 in sticky bonus, and wins $250, the user will only receive $150, as the original $100 will be taken back, generally at the time of completing playthrough. If sticky bonus is not automatically removed at playthrough conversion it shall be removed upon the second bonus to cash conversion initiated by the user.

Maximum Cashout: A maximum cashout is the maximum amount a user might win with a bonus, it is generally measured in multiples of the bonus amount. For example if a user receives a $100 bonus with a 5x max cashout, this means the user can convert no more than $500 worth of bonus money to cash. So if the user reaches $900 in balance from the previously mentioned bonus, the user can request no more than $500 in cash conversion; the other $400 will be removed and lost.

If the last transaction of a user was a withdrawal from a no deposit bonus, the user will be ineligible for any further no deposit bonuses unitl the user has made a deposit and made a least 1x playthrough on the deposit. Any withdrawals from back-to-back no deposit bonus will be deemed ineligible and the winnings forfeit.

1.14. No Third Party Beneficiarie

Unless specifically stated otherwise by Dober in writing or as stated within these Terms, there shall be no third party beneficiaries to these Terms.

12. Class Action Waiver and Binding Arbitration

12.1. Binding Arbitration

The first step required for any dispute shall be to contact customer support with the dispute. Dober customer support representatives will try and settle the issue at hand. If settlement between Customer Support and customer is not possible, the case shall be escalated for management review. Only after these steps have been taken, and the User is not satisfied with the resolution offered by Dober Management, can a dispute be escalated further, and then only  to arbitration. User agrees to allow a reasonable period of time for Dober to settle customer disputes internally. 

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by final and binding arbitration in Delaware, United States of America before an arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Arbitrator”). No federal, state or local court or agency shall be used for arbitration; The Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute between the parties of this agreement and User hereby agrees to settle any disputes by arbitration, submitting exclusively to the jurisdiction of JAMS and the Arbitrator, and accepting as final any judgments rendered thereby.

This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The cost of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. The parties agree that, any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, they will not request and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or exemplary damages against either party. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the rules and procedures of the arbitration administrator and this Agreement, this Section shall govern.

12.2. Class Action Waiver

Parties agree that any dispute, demand or arbitration shall be settled only in an individual capacity and never as part of a class action or other representative action or lawsuit. DOBER AND YOU BOTH AGREE THAT CLAIMS CAN BE BROUGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR GROUP ACTION IN ANY MANNER WHATSOEVER. USER AND DOBER BOTH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION CLAIM. In the event that this section is deemed invalid or non-enforceable by a court or arbitrator, the provision number 12.1. of these Terms related to arbitration shall be deemed invalid and null and there shall be no right to arbitration as set forth in this agreement.

12.3. Class Action Waiver Opt Out

Users can opt out of the class action waiver provision by sending a written notice to Dober Media GmbH to the following address Clayallee 343 B, 14169, Berlin, Germany. This notice must be delivered to Dober within 30 days of account creation. In the event that the user does not deliver such notice on time, no opt out option shall be available. In the event that the user shall opt out of the Class Action Waiver, Dober will automatically be entitled to the same opt out for a class claim against the user.
