No claim may be made against us in these circumstances.
4.5. Location:
4.5.1. There are Federal prohibitions and restrictions relating to wagering on the Internet (including, but not limited to, such prohibitions and restrictions set out in 18 U.S.C. §§ 1084 et seq. (The Wire Act) and 31 U.S.C. §§ 3163 through 3167 (UIEGA)). It is a Federal offense for persons physically located outside of New Jersey to engage in Internet wagering through any New Jersey casino, including, but not limited to, Wagering on the Website. The Service Parties' Location Service Policy may be found here. As further noted in our Privacy Policy, which can be found here, the Service Parties utilize several current technologies, and may use future technologies, in order to verify your physical location while you are Wagering on the Website (collectively, the "Geolocation Technologies"). Geolocation Technologies report your physical location from the computer or Internet-connected device that you choose and from which you are accessing the Website. Geolocation Technologies obtain your physical location by accessing your Internet Protocol (IP) address, MAC address, RFID, hardware embedded article/production number, embedded software number (such as UUID, Exif/IPTC/XMP or modern steganography), Wi-Fi positioning system, or device GPS coordinates. The Geolocation Technologies report to the Service Parties and/or the Regulators the physical and geographic location of the computer or Internet-connected device from which you are accessing the Website. It is possible that your precise or near-precise physical location will be reported to the Service Parties and/or the Regulators when you use the Website. We may suspend or close your Patron account if we have information which leads us to believe that you are placing, or attempting to place, a Wager when physically outside of New Jersey.
4.5.2. By registering a Patron account, you consent to the monitoring and recording by the Service Parties and/or by the Regulators of any wagering communications and geographic location information for the purpose of determining compliance with the Act.
4.5.3. We may use or make available a "strong authentication" process to verify your location from time to time. Such process may vary from time to time and require you to verify your identity when you login. Please see our FAQs for further details.
4.6. Age and Identity Verification Policy:
4.6.1. When considering your Patron registration application and certain deposit and withdrawal transactions, we may use an independent risk management provider to verify your age, name, address and social security number or any other information that you provide to us. In performing these checks, the risk management provider may keep a record of your information. The purpose of such checks is to confirm your age, identity and geographic location only. Such checks should not impact your credit score or creditworthiness. These checks enable Patron accounts to be opened more quickly, reduce the need to obtain age and identification documents and assist us with our age verification licensing obligations and crime and fraud prevention program. You will not be able to play any Games for Cash until your age, identity and location have been verified. You hereby consent to our making of such an inquiry of any credit reporting agency for this purpose.
4.6.2. If we cannot satisfactorily complete our age and identity verification process, we may ask you to provide personal identification documents to further confirm and validate your age and identity. Such checks may include (but may not be limited to): (a) proof of your age (with a passport or any other government issued identity document); (b) proof of your address (with a current utility bill or a bank or card statement); and (c) proof of your identity (with a government issued identity document, such as a drivers license, passport number, a current utility bill or bank or card statement). We may suspend your Patron account until you have satisfactorily completed these checks. We will communicate all requests to you via the My Account - Confirm My Details section of the Website and also by email.
4.7. Registration Acceptance and Personal Accounts: Upon acceptance of your registration as a Patron, you will be issued a personal Patron account and sent confirmation of your registration by email. You cannot use the full functionality of your Patron account, including, but not limited to, processing any withdrawals until you have confirmed your email address by clicking on the link in your registration confirmation email. If you have entered an incorrect email address at the time of registration, you can update your details in the My Account section of the Website.
4.8. Declined Applications: We may decline acceptance of a Patron account application at any time and for any reason.
4.9. Transfer of Accounts and Funds Between Accounts: Your Patron account is unique to you. You must not sell, transfer or acquire Patron accounts to or from other Patrons or attempt to do so. No funds (including, but not limited to, any winnings) or bonuses may be transferred between Patron accounts.
4.10. Anti-Money Laundering Policy:
4.10.1 In addition to the location, age and identity verification policies described in Sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 above, and as part of our compliance with applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations, we may at any time (including, but not limited to, certain stages of your Patron account registration) ask you to verify your identity and address as well as request proof of ownership for any payment methods used to deposit or withdraw funds.
4.10.2 It is unlawful to deposit, or attempt to deposit, funds obtained from criminal, illegal or fraudulent activities into your Patron account.
4.10.3 We are required to monitor any unusual or suspicious transactions of any size and report suspicious transactions and fraudulent activity to the Regulators, and we may report such activity to the police or relevant authorities.

5.5. Illegal Wagering is Void: We may, in our sole discretion, declare any Wager as void if a Patron is identified as playing illegally, in which event no winnings will be paid.
5.6. Interest on Patron Account Funds: We are not a financial institution. Interest will not be payable on monies held in Patron accounts as these are merely advance payments for intended wagering.
5.7. Payment Transactions and Fraudulent and Suspicious Transactions: You must not make or attempt to make any chargebacks, and/or deny or reverse any payment that you have made. You will be required to reimburse us for any chargebacks, denial or reversal of payments you make and any resulting loss suffered by us. If we are notified of any suspected or fraudulent payment (including, but not limited to, use of stolen credit cards) or any other fraudulent activity (including, but not limited to, any chargeback or other reversal of a payment), we may suspend or close a Patron's account, reverse any withdrawal made and recover any winnings.

Only Cash may be withdrawn from your Patron account. Bonus Money and Free Spins are not available for withdrawal.
5.11. Withdrawal Authorization and Payment: We try to authorize your withdrawal request within twenty four (24) hours of our receipt of your request but it may take up to three (3) days in some cases. For security reasons, Patrons making withdrawals may have to provide some additional information to ensure stringent safeguards are maintained (see Sections 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.10). We are not responsible for any delays in processing your withdrawal requests if you do not receive or respond to our requests for information. Once your withdrawal has been approved, we are not responsible for any third party financial clearing process that delays your payment being received.
5.12. Incorrect Account Information: It is your responsibility to submit the correct bank account details for payment of withdrawals. We cannot repay payments made by us to another account due to incorrect account details provided by you. If a payment is unsuccessful and returned to us by our bank payment processor, we will investigate such payment, notify you and request corrected bank account details. Such unsuccessful payments will only be credited to your corrected account details once we have been notified by our bank payment processor that the payment has been successfully retrieved.
5.13. Patron Account Statement: You may request a statement detailing your Patron account activity, including, but not limited to, your deposits, withdraws, winnings or loss, current balance and self-imposed limit history (if applicable), by contacting Customer Support by email at support@virgincasino.com or on live chat.

In addition, the amount of the initial failed deposit will be invalidated, forfeited and/or deducted from your account balance. In the event that your account balance is not sufficient to collect such forfeitures through deductions, you expressly acknowledge and agree, unless you dispute the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, in writing within thirty (30) days after your receipt of notice, the debt will be assumed to be valid, due and payable immediately.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that, in the event of non-payment of such debt, we may proceed to enforce our rights, which may include, but not necessarily be limited to, legal action and attendant cost and counsel fees. In such event you agree that in addition to any other amounts due to us, you will pay all legal fees and costs paid by us in collecting any amounts due from you. You further expressly acknowledge and agree that, in the event of non-payment of such debt, we may, at our sole discretion, assign such debt to one or more collection agencies. Note that following the assignment of such debt to a collections agency, the resolution of such debt and any legal processes associated therewith are not within our control and must be negotiated or resolved directly with such collections agency.

A person remains on the Internet self exclusion list until such time as they appear in person and request to be removed from the list at one of the two New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement offices or if they apply to be removed online on the New Jersey Division Gaming Enforcement's portal (njportal.com/dge/selfexclusion). You may only request a lifetime exclusion by making an in person request at one of the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement offices.
9.2.2. Upon self-exclusion, any active gaming session will be terminated and you will be logged out of your Patron account with immediate effect. All pre-purchased tickets, stage saved Games, Bonus Money, Free Spins and entries in any bonus schemes and competitions cannot be cancelled but you will not be able to access them during the period of self-exclusion. It is possible that bonuses may expire during the period of self-exclusion. We cannot reinstate these if the Patron account is reopened after the self-exclusion period. All remaining balances (less any active bonuses) of $1.00 or more will be returned to you. Remaining balances (less any active bonuses) less than $1.00 will only be returned upon request.
9.3. General: Any Patron accounts that we detect that contravene our Responsible Gaming Policy will be closed. If you breach our Responsible Gaming Policy, we may suspend any Patron accounts that you may hold including any account you may hold with us.
9.4. Information: If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call: (a) the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey on 1-800-Gambler (information is also available from their website: www.800gambler.org); or (b) Gamblers Anonymous on 855 2 Call GA or 855 222 5542 (information is also available from their website: www.gamblersanonymous.org).
10. BONUSES
10.1. We may offer certain bonuses (including Bonus Money and Free Spins) and bonus programs from time to time. All bonuses are subject to these Terms as well as the Bonus Rules (as they are updated from time to time) (which can be found here) and any other specific terms relating to bonuses that we publish on the Website or otherwise including, but not limited to, competitions or promotional rules.
10.2. If you receive a bonus, you must comply with the relevant terms set out in our Bonus Rules (as they are updated from time to time) (which can be found here). In addition, our decisions in respect of such bonuses are final and binding in all respects.
10.3. Closure of your Patron account will render a bonus void.
10.4. Bonuses are not transferable between Patron accounts.
10.5. Failure to comply with these Terms and any Bonus Rules (as they are updated from time to time) will automatically render your bonus and/or entry to a bonus program void.
10.6. We may withhold, withdraw, amend or cancel any bonus or bonus offer at our discretion at any time and without notice.
10.7. Additional Bonuses: We may choose, in our sole discretion, to provide additional bonuses or complimentary payments to Patrons, either applied directly to their Patron account or through mechanisms such as offering the facility for Patrons to participate in bonus Games, offers and chat and media Games. The application of any bonus or "comp" to a Patron’s account or the offering of bonus Games does not place any obligation on us to make any similar payment or bonus to any other Patron and any additional rules applicable to such bonuses will be stipulated to such Patrons.
11. ACCEPTANCE AND VALIDATION OF WAGERING
11.1. Confirmed Wagers: A Wager is only placed when it is recorded by us. At that time, the amount of the Wager will be charged against your Patron account. All Wagers are final. We cannot cancel or refund Wagers once they have been confirmed by us unless the Wager is declared void for reasons outlined in these Terms.
11.2. Minimum Wager: A minimum amount of USD 0.01 (one cent) per Wager applies to each Game, unless otherwise specified.
11.3. Deduction of Wagers / Unresolved Wagers: The cost of a Wager will be deducted from your Patron account at the time of placing your Wager, no matter when the result is determined. We cannot refund Wagers purchased for future plays that have not yet been settled. Any winnings related to such Wagers will be credited to your Patron account once the play has been settled.
11.4. Our right to Cancel / Terminate Games: We may cancel, amend, remove or terminate any Game at any time in our sole discretion without notice. If a Game is cancelled, amended, removed or terminated in a way that makes it impossible to resolve a Wager that you placed, then that Game shall be deemed null and void and the Wager will be credited back to your Patron account.
11.5. Our right to Postpone Games: We may postpone any Games at our sole discretion. In this case, any Wagers for the postponed Games shall still stand and the Game will be executed at the new time set by us.
12. PRIZES AND PAYMENT OF WINNINGS AND PROMOTIONS
12.1. Crediting Winnings: Winnings due on Wagers placed through your Patron account will be credited to your current deposit balance automatically. This update of your Patron account is not 'proof of win'. If upon manual review there is evidence of fraud, Malfunction or malpractice, we may void certain Wagers and winnings and amend Patron accounts accordingly.
12.2. Rounding of Winnings: We use a Wager multiplier to calculate and accumulate gaming odds and it is therefore possible that for certain Games, winnings payouts can be displayed for presentational clarity having been rounded down to two decimal places to the nearest currency unit (i.e. cents (USD)). However, the applicable Service Parties’ servers calculate and record the exact decimal value of the accumulated winnings payouts and Patrons’ balances.
12.3. Our Decision is Final: You agree that we and the applicable Service Parties’ records shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any Games you play, any Wagers you place, the circumstances in which such Wagers were placed, and the outcome of the same.
12.4. Taxation on Winnings: Any applicable taxes and fees in connection with any winnings awarded to you are your sole responsibility. Your use of the Website, and therefore your acceptance of these Terms, acknowledges that we will make a Form W-2G or Form 1099-Misc, as applicable, available for your reporting purposes and you are responsible for regulatory reporting obligations on any winnings or prizes subject to applicable Federal and States laws. You also acknowledge that we are required to report certain payments paid to you in accordance with IRS regulations.
12.5. Progressive Jackpots: We may choose to make available to Patrons pooled Progressive Jackpots across networks and services owned and operated by Gamesys or its affiliates, and/or third parties.
12.6. Progressive Jackpot Winnings: All Progressive Jackpot winnings will be subject to our confirmation. Our decision will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
12.7. Progressive Jackpot Accuracy: We use reasonable measures to ensure that the Progressive Jackpot value displayed in a Game matches the value on the Game server. However, it is the Progressive Jackpot value on the server that is used when the Progressive Jackpot is paid out. A small discrepancy may arise due to the delay between the initial Progressive Jackpot being displayed to you and the Progressive Jackpot that is actually won and paid out. Although unlikely, it is theoretically possible for the Progressive Jackpot to be apparently won by more than one Patron during the delay period mentioned above. If more than one Patron apparently wins a Progressive Jackpot simultaneously then the Patron recorded on the applicable Service Parties’ servers as having won the Progressive Jackpot first shall be the recipient and the subsequent Patron(s) shall win the value of the Progressive Jackpot when reset. In the extremely unlikely event of the server recording a win truly simultaneously, we may share the Progressive Jackpot equally between the winning Patrons.
13. COMPETITIONS AND PROMOTIONS
13.1. From time to time we may offer you the chance to enter competitions and/or promotions, or you may be automatically entered into a competition and/or promotion as a result of being a Patron. We will provide the specific rules for such competitions and/or promotions at the relevant time. You should therefore read these Terms in combination with any applicable specific rules for a competition and/or promotion you wish to enter. Where any such specific rules conflict with these Terms, the specific rules will take precedence.
13.2. Failure to comply with these Terms (and any applicable competition and/or promotion-specific rules) will automatically render your entry to any competition or promotion as void.
13.3. We may withhold any credits, bonuses or prizes awarded as part of a competition and/or promotion at our discretion.
13.4. Closure of a Patron account during any competition and/or promotion will render your entry void and you will not be able to receive a prize.
13.5. We may withdraw or amend any competition or promotion at any time and without prior notice.
14. REGULATION OF RESULTS
14.1. Our Server Evidenced Results: If there is a discrepancy between either the numbers that you believe that you have entered or the graphic display of the Game you have played and those in the applicable Service Party database, the numbers in the database are considered valid and no correspondence disputing such issues will be entered into by us. This covers disputed results on both play for Games and demo mode games.
14.2. Random Number Generator: You accept and agree that: (i) random number generator software, hosted on the applicable Service Party servers will determine the outcome of the Games; (ii) if the result shown on the software conflicts with the result shown on the applicable Service Party server, the result shown on the applicable Service Party server shall in all circumstances take precedence; and (iii) the applicable Service Party records shall be the final authority in determining the circumstances of your use of the Website and you shall have no right to dispute our decisions in regard to such matters.
14.3. Claims and Disputes: No claims or disputes will be considered more than seven (7) days after the date of the original transaction and all claims or disputes should be raised with our Customer Support by email at support@virgincasino.com or on live chat. In those cases where our Customer Support does not satisfactorily resolve the complaint, complaints may be filed with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement by calling 609-984-0909 or via email to info@njdge.org.
14.4. Integrity of Random Number Generator: The output of the applicable Service Party random number generator is monitored regularly by us to ensure it performs within expected bounds and it is also checked periodically by the Regulators and is accepted and certified by the Regulators in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
14.5. Automatic Game Playing / Manipulation of Software: Automatic playing of Games by software (including, but not limited to, so called "bots", AI-software and any software used for opponent-filing and automatic betting) or any other manipulation of the Games or your/another Patron's account data is not permitted and may (without affecting our other rights and remedies) result in closure of your Patron account, closure of all associated Patron accounts, and the cancellation of any outstanding winnings and deposits. Patrons that breach this section will not be eligible for reinstatement under different screen names.
15. GENERAL INFORMATION
15.1. Disconnections:
15.1.1. Games are played over the Internet, and, in the case of mobile Games, over mobile telephone networks. These are communication mediums that are known to be imperfect. If you are disconnected from the Internet or a mobile telephone network, then: (i) if you have not commenced the Game when you are disconnected, there will be no effect on your account; or (ii) if you have commenced the Game when you are disconnected the Game will be recorded on the Game servers and the Wager will stand and the outcome will be reflected in your Patron account status.
15.1.2. Some single player Games are multi stage and may include bonus Games. If you are disconnected from the Internet or a mobile telephone network during a bonus single player Game or a multi stage single player Game, reconnecting and re-selecting the Game (at the same value where applicable) should cause the Game to recommence from the point at which it terminated. Non multi stage single player Games will complete the outcome of the Game or bonus single player Game in your absence and will credit your Patron account if you win. If a bonus single player Game cannot for any reason be recommenced in this way, this is considered a Malfunction unless otherwise stated in the specific Game rules. If there is a disconnection, the records stored on the Game server shall be the final authority in determining the terms of any Wagers you place and the circumstances in which they were made. Malfunction voids all Wagers, pay and play.
15.2. Patron Account Balances: The balance of your Patron account will at all times be as recorded on our server.
15.3. Wager Result Acceptance: By placing any further Wagers with us, you accept the results of any previous Wager.
15.4. Site Activity Monitoring: Use of the Website may be monitored to ensure that you are not using the Website with a frequency or in a manner which might suggest you are using it for bookmaking or other suspected criminal activities. We may withhold any monies and/or suspend and/or close your Patron account if we consider that the Website is being used by you for bookmaking or other suspected criminal activities.
15.5. Suspicious Activity: If we determine or suspect that a transaction is suspicious (including, but not limited to, collusion between Patrons whether using our systems or other systems) and involves or may involve financial crime, fraud, cheating or irresponsible gaming behavior or breaches any of our policies, we may retain the amount of that transaction and any other transaction made by you. We shall be under no obligation to provide you with any reasons for doing so. In addition, we may disclose information of such activity (including, but not limited to, any details relating to you) to the Regulators and other applicable Law Enforcement agencies.
15.6. Fraud or Gaming System Malfunction: We may withhold winnings, void or freeze Wagers and notify the Regulators if you or another Patron manipulates the Games in a fraudulent manner, if there is collusion (or suspected collusion) between Patrons or if the gaming system itself Malfunctions.
15.7. Auto-play Facility: If you use an auto-play facility that we make available on any of our Games, the outcome of any spins prior to pressing the STOP button, including, but not limited to, any spin in progress at the time you press the STOP button cannot be reversed.
15.8. Employee and Service Providers Playing Restrictions: Neither: (a) our employees who are key employees and casino employees prohibited from wagering in any casino or simulcasting facility in the State of New Jersey; nor (b) service providers and their employees, agents or assigns who provide software licenses, software supplies, software developments to us may register as Patrons, play the Games or make transactions on the Website unless authorized to do so by one of our legally entitled officials for test purposes only. No funds or winnings in Patron accounts used in this manner may be withdrawn unless otherwise approved by the Regulators.
15.9. Force Majeure Events: If we are prevented from providing all or part of the Website (including, but not limited to, any service or Game) or fulfilling any of our obligations under these Terms due to an event beyond our reasonable control, including, but not limited to, an act of God, an outbreak of hostilities, riot, civil disturbance, acts of terrorism, the act of any government or authority (including, but not limited to, any refusal or revocation of any license or consent), fire, explosion, flood, theft, malicious damage, strike, lock-out, or industrial action of any kind or any other such cause beyond our reasonable control, the Website (including, but not limited to, any service or Game) may be suspended until such time as we are able to provide access to the Website (or any affected part thereof) or fulfill any obligations under these Terms. You agree to waive any claim against us which may arise in such circumstances.
16. CHAT ROOMS
16.1. Chat Content Standards: We may provide you with a chat facility to enable you to communicate with other Patrons and our chat hosts on certain Games on the Website.

IF JAG IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ARBITRATE A DISPUTE, THEN THE DISPUTE MAY BE REFERRED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION OR ARBITRATOR THAT YOU AND EACH OF THE SERVICE PARTIES AGREE UPON IN WRITING OR THAT IS APPOINTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 OF THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. FOR ANY CLAIM WHERE THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE AWARD SOUGHT IS $10,000 OR LESS, THE ARBITRATOR, YOU, AND APPLICABLE SERVICE PARTY MUST ABIDE BY THE FOLLOWING RULES: (A) THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY BASED ON TELEPHONE OR ONLINE APPEARANCES AND/OR WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS; AND (B) THE ARBITRATION SHALL NOT INVOLVE ANY PERSONAL APPEARANCE BY THE PARTIES OR WITNESSES UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED BY THE PARTIES. IF THE CLAIM EXCEEDS $10,000, THE RIGHT TO A HEARING WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE AAA RULES, AND THE HEARING (IF ANY) MUST TAKE PLACE IN ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY. THE ARBITRATOR’S RULING IS BINDING AND MAY BE ENTERED AS A JUDGMENT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, OR APPLICATION MAY BE MADE TO SUCH COURT FOR JUDICIAL ACCEPTANCE OF ANY AWARD AND AN ORDER OF ENFORCEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE.
THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT AND REVIEW BY A COURT IS LIMITED. NEITHER YOU NOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE PARTY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A COURT OR JURY TRIAL OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU AND EACH OF THE SERVICE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY AGREEING TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, YOU AND EACH OF THE SERVICE PARTIES ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MULTIPLE PARTIES.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANYWAY TO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, OR YOUR AND THE APPLICABLE SERVICE PARTY’S DEALINGS WITH ONE ANOTHER MUST BE COMMENCED IN ARBITRATION WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. AFTER THAT TWO (2)-YEAR PERIOD, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW TIME LIMITATIONS OTHER THAN THOSE SET FORTH IN SUCH STATE’S STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS LAWS. IN SUCH CASES, THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE SHALL APPLY.
YOU AND EACH OF THE SERVICE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL CHALLENGES TO THE VALIDITY AND APPLICABILITY OF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION — I.E. WHETHER A PARTICULAR CLAIM OR DISPUTE IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION — SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATOR. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THESE TERMS TO THE CONTRARY, IF THE CLASS-ACTION WAIVER ABOVE IS DEEMED INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL NOT SEEK TO, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO, ARBITRATE CLASS OR COLLECTIVE CLAIMS. IF THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THIS SECTION IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE OR TO NOT APPLY FOR A GIVEN DISPUTE, THEN THE PROCEEDING MUST BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE STATE COURTS OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN ATLANTIC COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, AS APPROPRIATE, AND YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF EACH OF THESE COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF LITIGATING SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES, AND YOU STILL WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PROCEED IN A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION, AND REMAIN BOUND BY ANY AND ALL LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND DAMAGES INCLUDED IN THESE TERMS. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EACH OF THE SERVICE PARTIES. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT INVOLVES INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND, THEREFORE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), AND NOT BY STATE LAW.
