You hereby consent to our access to and collection of such personal information about you.
We will create your Account for your use of the Site and Application based upon the personal information that we obtain via an SNS as described above. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. Deepcut reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Deepcut Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete.

A virtual points system is available via the Service which points are referred to as "DJ Points". DJ Points may be obtained through your activities within the Site, Application and Services. DJ Points are made available to you at the sole discretion of Deepcut and may be discontinued at any time. The Site and Application may also include virtual, digital items ("Virtual Goods") that may be obtained or redeemed from Deepcut in exchange for DJ Points. Regardless of the terminology used, DJ Points and Virtual Goods may never be redeemed for "real world" money, goods or other items of monetary value from Deepcut or any other party.
Virtual Goods and DJ Points are digital items only. Deepcut grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, revocable right and license to use such Virtual Goods and DJ Points, solely within the Site, Application and Service for in-Site, Application and Service activities, for your personal and non-commercial use and for no other purpose. Except for the limited rights described herein, you have no property interest or right or title in or to any such Virtual Goods or DJ Points, which remain the exclusive property of Deepcut. As stated above, the existence of a particular offer of Virtual Goods or DJ Points is not a commitment by Deepcut to maintain or continue to make the Virtual Goods or DJ Points available in the future. The scope, variety and type of Virtual Goods and DJ Points that you may obtain can change at any time. Deepcut has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate such DJ Points or Virtual Goods as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and Deepcut will have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights.
Except where explicitly authorized within the Site, Application or Service, (i) transfers of DJ Points or Virtual Goods are strictly prohibited; (ii) outside of the Site, Application and Service, you may not buy or sell any DJ Points or Virtual Goods for "real world" money or otherwise exchange items for value; and (iii) Deepcut does not recognize any such purported transfers of DJ Points or Virtual Goods, nor the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears on the Site, Application and Service. Any attempt to do any of the foregoing is in violation of these Terms and will result in an automatic termination of your rights to use the DJ Points or Virtual Goods and may result in termination of your Deepcut Account, a lifetime ban from the Site, Application and Service and/or possible legal action. All Virtual Goods and DJ Points are forfeited if your Deepcut Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in Deepcut's sole and absolute discretion, or if Deepcut discontinues providing the Site, Application or Service.

Further, unless both you and Deepcut otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Dispute Resolution" section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this "Dispute Resolution" section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org/si.asp?id=3477 and a separate form for California residents at www.adr.org/si.asp?id=3485.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. Unless you and deepcut.com otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and deepcut.com submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. deepcut.com will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Deepcut will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if deepcut.com changes this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to help@deepcut.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated Date" above or in the date of Deepcut's email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and Deepcut in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
The failure of Deepcut to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Deepcut. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
