This is the official Terms of Service (“TOS”) for ApexWebGaming.net (“Site”). This TOS governs only the content, features, and activities related to this Site and does not cover related websites, subsidiaries, affiliates, or any other company, unless specifically stated.

Each time you use or cause access to this Site, you agree to obey by the Terms of Service, and as amended from time to time with or without notice to you. In addition, if you are using a particular service on or through this Site, you will be subject to any rules or guidelines applicable to those services and they shall be incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. The Site's Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated herein by reference. This TOS will remain in full force and effect as long as you are a user of the Site and in the event of termination of any membership, service or feature, you will still be bound by your obligations under this TOS and Privacy Policy, including any indemnifications, warranties and limitations of liability.

The words "use" and/or "using" in this TOS mean any time an individual (a "user"), directly or indirectly, with or without the aid of a machine or device, does or attempts to access, interact with, use, display, view, print or copy from, transmit, receive or exchange data or communicate with, the Site, or in any way utilizes, benefits, takes advantage of or interacts with any function, service or feature of the Site, for any purpose whatsoever. This TOS does not cover your rights or responsibilities with respect to third party content or sites or any links that may direct your browser or your connection to third party sites or pages. This is the entire and exclusive TOS between you and us regarding use of the Site and it cannot be modified, except as specifically described below in Section 2.

2. Modifications

We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, for any reason in our sole discretion, to change the terms of this TOS. We will post or display notices of material changes on the Site and/or e-mail you or notify you upon login about these changes; the form of such notice is at our discretion. Such changes and/or modifications shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof. Please review the terms of use periodically. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes and/or modifications will constitute your acceptance of the revised terms of use. You should periodically review this TOS and the Privacy Policy.

3. Registration

In consideration of your use of the Site, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Site’s registration form (such information being the "Registration Data"), (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete and (c) agree to create only one account per person. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or ApexWebGaming.net has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, ApexWebGaming.net has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site.

We may require each user to have a unique user name and password combination in order to use the Site and may also, from time to time, provide users with additional codes or passwords necessary to access and use certain features or functions of the Site. As part of the registration process you will choose a user name and password (or we may assign an initial password which we will give you the option to change). Your user name and password are personal to you and you may not allow any others to use your user name or password under any circumstances. We are not liable for any harm caused or related to the theft or misappropriation of your user name or password, disclosure of your user name or password, or your authorization of anyone else to use your user name or password. You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of or believe there is or may have been any unauthorized use of your user name or password or any other need to deactivate your user name or password due to security concerns.

4. Account Security

PASSWORDS ARE ISSUED ON A PERSONAL BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ALL CONTENT OR INSTRUCTIONS TRANSMITTED BY OR RECEIVED FROM ANYONE PRESENTING YOUR PASSWORD ON THE SITE WILL BE DEEMED BINDING ON YOU. You agree that you are solely responsible and liable for all actions taken via your password, whether or not made with your knowledge or authority.
