TERMS OF USE

Our Terms of Use have been updated as of May 4, 2020.

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE REGARDING TERMS OF USE OF GUILLOTINE LEAGUES

IMPORTANT! CAREFULLY READ THESE TERMS OF USE BEFORE USING GUILLOTINE LEAGUES. THEY CREATE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND GUILLOTINE LEAGUES AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

THESE TERMS, ALONG WITH ANY ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS, RULES, DESCRIPTIONS, AND TERMS THAT MAY RELATED TO A PARTICULAR CONTEST, CONSTITUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND HEAVY BLADE, LLC (HEREAFTER, “HEAVY BLADE”). THESE TERMS OVERRIDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, BETWEEN YOU AND HEAVY BLADE. IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTICULAR CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE TERMS AND THE TERMS USED IN A PARTICULAR CONTEST, THE CONTEST RULES SUPERCEDE THESE TERMS. IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTICULAR CONFLICT BETWEEN THESE TERMS AND THE CONDITIONS, REGULATIONS, AND/OR LAWS OF A STATE, THE STATE’S CONDITIONS, REGULATIONS AND/OR LAWS SUPERCEDE THESE TERMS.

THESE TERMS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND HEAVY BLADE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS.

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
GuillotineLeagues is a fantasy sports website and associated mobile app, featuring text, audio, images, content, and code, provided by Heavy Blade. These combined features are collectively referred to as the “Service” hereafter. Use of the service creates an agreement between you and Heavy Blade to be bound by these terms, the Privacy Policy, and all contest rules.

If you do not agree to these Terms then you may not access or use the Service.

MODIFICATION OF TERMS OF USE
At all times, Heavy Blade reserves the right to change its Terms, Privacy Policy, contest rules, and the Service. This can include removing, adding, or modifying any feature or content; this can include changing the terms of eligibility, possibly in a way that makes you ineligible to participate; this can include changes in fee structures or charges for use of the Service.

The most current version of these Terms will be available through the Service. You are responsible for reviewing these Terms including any modifications. At the discretion of Heavy Blade, you may or may not be notified via email of any changes to these Terms. Continued use of the Service after any modification of Terms constitutes your acceptance of the Terms.

ELIGIBILITY - PRIZE CONTESTS
In order to participate in Heavy Blade Prize Contests, you must be 18 years of age or older. If you live in a location where the minimum permissible age for Prize Contests is older than 18 years old, you must meet the age requirement of your location. Residents of the states of Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, and Washington are not eligible to participate in Prize Contests, however they may use other elements of the Service.

ELIGIBILITY - PRIVATE LEAGUES (SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE)
Heavy Blade provides Private Leagues, different from its Prize Contests. Private Leagues are for people who are already connected to enough players to fill their private league among people they know. Fees or charges paid to Heavy Blade are for the use of its software only, and specifically not for prizing. Private Leagues are not contests and you acknowledge that Heavy Blade provides no prizing for Private League participants. Because Private Leagues are not contests and have no prizes, anyone over the age of 13 may participate in Heavy Blade private contests and anyone from all 50 states may participate. If the participants of your Private League choose to use an entry fee, you agree that those fees are wholly separate and unrelated to Heavy Blade. Heavy Blade will not participate in, reimburse, or adjudicate any monetary disputes that may arise between Private League participants.

ELIGIBILITY - ALL SERVICE USERS
You may create one account for yourself, and never more than one, to participate in the various Services. At any time Heavy Blade discovers that you have created more than one account, Heavy Blade may terminate, suspend, or modify any or all of your accounts, and further, it reserves the right to withhold, revoke or modify any prizes you may have won, including those already in your account, in addition to any other rights Heavy Blade may have. You agree to update your account information when it changes.

Your account is your responsibility, and you accept responsibility for all activity, charges, losses, damages, and gameplay that happens from your account. You are responsible for your username and passwords. It is a violation of these Terms for anyone other than yourself to use or control your account for any purpose. If you believe your account has been accessed by someone other than yourself, contact us immediately. If you fail to notify of us of unauthorized use, Heavy Blade is not responsible for any loss or damage resulting from your failure.

Heavy Blade may, from time to time, request information to verify your account information. You agree to provide us with accurate and complete information that validates your identity.
At its discretion, Heavy Blade may ask you to modify your username or may permanently change your username for you.

When you use a payment method at this Service, you affirm that, as the Authorized Account Holder, you are the lawful owner of the payment method. Use of a payment method you do not own is a violation of these Terms and you are subject to the loss of your payments. Charge backs should be your last resort for any dispute with Heavy Blade (see “Dispute Resolution”). If your payment is charged back from Heavy Blade, your winnings will be forfeited, and funds of the same amount will be deducted from your account balance. Further, upon charge back, Heavy Blade reserves the right to close your account without notice and ban you and any of your proxies from participating in further site usage.

Any employee or contractor of a professional team--including its athletes--whose sport is supported by Heavy Blade’s Prize Contests, are ineligible to participate in a Prize Contest.

Heavy Blade employees are ineligible to participate in Prize Contests. Immediate family members of employees of Heavy Blade are ineligible to participate in Prize Contests. Immediate family members are defined as spouses, siblings, in-laws, parents, grandparents, offspring, and/or domestic partners.

Heavy Blade’s ability to communicate with you is important. As a part of your registration and/or participation in our Services, you agree to receive certain communications from us. You may opt-out of these communications through the Service’s unsubscribe functions and/or by using the Service’s customer service portal. Even if you opt-out, we may still need to communicate with you from time to time via email to the extent permitted by applicable law.

PRIZE CONTEST ENTRY
When you visit Service and view the Prize Contests available for entry, each individual Contest has an entry fee listed. If you choose to participate in a Contest, the listed amount will be deducted from your Heavy Blade account.

ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
The products offered by the Service are designed to be used by active participants who will manage their teams to the best of their ability throughout the Term of the season, including the draft. Failing to actively manage your team can result, in the sole discretion of Heavy Blade, in the forfeiture of your team, the use of a replacement team manager, locking all transactions, freezing the roster, and/or any other action Heavy Blade deems necessary to best restore the integrity of your team. Refunds will not be given. There are no perfect solutions to an inactive participant and you agree to abide by the judgement of Heavy Blade.

Your use of the Service constitutes an understanding that some participants will stop managing their team; and your acceptance of the results. Heavy Blade is not responsible for abandoned teams and cannot manage them.

At the sole discretion of Heavy Blade, if you are believed to be purposely losing, you are undermining the integrity of the game, and you will forfeit your team without refund.

Heavy Blade is not responsible for your mistakes through the use of the Service. You should be absolutely certain of all actions taken when using the Service. This can include, but is not limited to, drafting players, bidding on free agents, and setting lineups. Your interactions with the Service are your own, and as such, Heavy Blade will not undo, modify, or alter your interactions with the Service.

DISQUALIFICATION AND CANCELLATION
Heavy Blade reserves the right to cancel contests, in our sole discretion, without any restrictions.
Heavy Blade, in its sole discretion, may disqualify you from a contest or the entire Service, refuse to award fantasy points or prizes and require the return of any prizes, or suspend, limit, or terminate your account if you engage in conduct Heavy Blade deems, in its sole discretion, to be improper, unfair, fraudulent or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Service or in any way detrimental to other users.

Improper conduct includes those items noted in the Conduct of these Terms, but is not limited to those items. You acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any prize shall in no way prevent Heavy Blade from informing the relevant authorities, and/or pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.

If for any reason the Service is not running as originally planned due to the conduct of a user, Heavy Blade reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual implicated in or relating to the cause and/or to cancel, terminate, extend, modify or suspend the Service, and select the winner(s) from all eligible entries received. If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, a notification may be posted through the Service.

The failure of Heavy Blade to fulfill any provision of these Terms due to an act of God, hurricane, war, fire, riot, earthquake, terrorism, act of public enemies, actions of governmental authorities outside of the control of Heavy Blade (excepting compliance with applicable codes and regulations) or other force majeure event will not be considered a breach of these Terms.

TAXATION
Each year all winners who have won $600 or more over the previous year will be asked to provide an updated address and social security details to Heavy Blade. These details will be used to allow Heavy Blade to fulfill requirements regarding tax regulations and may be shared with appropriate tax authorities. You, not Heavy Blade, are responsible for filing and paying applicable state and federal taxes on any winnings. Heavy Blade does not provide tax advice, nor should any statements in this agreement or on the Service be construed as tax advice.

PUBLICITY
When using the Service, you consent to Heavy Blade’s and its service providers’ and business partners’ use of your name, voice, likeness, location and photograph in connection with marketing and promotion, unless otherwise prohibited by law. Heavy Blade and its business partners reserve the right to make public remarks about the entrants and winner(s), on-air, on the Internet, or otherwise, prior to, during, or following the contest. You agree that Heavy Blade may announce any winner's name on-air or on any of its Services or any other location at any time in connection with the marketing and promotion of Heavy Blade or other Services operated by Heavy Blade. You agree that participation in and (where applicable) the winning of a prize in connection with use of the Service constitutes complete compensation for your obligations under this paragraph, and you agree not to seek to charge a fee or impose other conditions to fulfill these obligations. In some instances Heavy Blade may require a written signature on a separate publicity waiver.

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS
From time to time, Heavy Blade will offer promotions, coupons, discounts or other marketing incentives. These offers have an expiration date and will be invalidated after the expiration date. Offers are not “stackable” and are limited to one per account. Offers have no cash value.

CONTEST OF SKILL
Heavy Blade offers contests of skill. Winners are determined by the criteria stated in each contest's rules. For each contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant professional sports information and fantasy sports rules to avoid scoring the fewest points in their league in any given week. Fantasy points are accumulated through the real life performance of individual athletes in sports events. Contest rules, entry fees, and other elements may differ from contest to contest. The specific rules of each contest are set forth in the contest’s official rules, which are made available to you prior to joining the contest. You are responsible for reviewing the rules prior to joining a contest. Heavy Blade reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to cancel, extend, modify or suspend contests without restriction.

CONTEST TERM
Heavy Blade offers “season-long” contests in conjunction with professional sports events spanning most or all of a single season. Players acknowledge and accept that the length of the official NFL regular season is out of Heavy Blade’s control. A season that reaches eight weeks of play is considered a valid season, even if it is delayed, shortened or aborted. In the event that a season is paused, delayed, or suspended, the eight weeks of play do not need to be contiguous.

Any season that fails to reach eight weeks of play will be considered an invalid season, and entry fees will be refunded in the form of a balance to your account, at which point the funds are available for you to use as described in these Terms.

In the event a professional sporting league chooses to delay, shorten, lengthen, modify, abort, or cancel its season, Heavy Blade reserves the unilateral right to modify, extend, suspend, and/or cancel contests if it believes that it will not be able to offer the contest as originally intended. This includes the right to determine winners. Its actions are final and binding.

No refunds shall be offered or granted if Heavy Blade contest formats are amended to fit within a NFL season.

PRIZES
For each Prize Contest, the eligible players who meet the winning conditions listed in the contest details will win prizes. Entry fees and prizes are listed in advance on the contest page. Prizes are added to the winning players’ account balance.

Scoring calculations are made at the time when statistical results are tabulated by Heavy Blade. Due to the nature of the Guillotine League format, results will not be changed if/when official adjustments happen. We reserve the right to correct errors or irregularities in the transmission of information to us from our stats provider. We reserve the right to fix errors or bugs in our calculations. We reserve the right to reverse payments in the event of a correction. You agree to cooperate with any effort to reverse a payment.

In the event of a dispute arising from determination of Prize Contest winners, Heavy Blade is the sole judge and its actions are final and binding.

No transfer or substitution of a prize is permitted. If any legal authority challenges the standing of a prize winner, Heavy Blade reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to award the prize or not.

WITHDRAWING FUNDS
Your winnings from Prize Contests on the Service are deposited into your account. You can use the funds to participate in other contests or you can withdraw your funds at any time. Approved withdrawal requests will be fulfilled via a variety of methods which may include automated clearing house (ACH) and/or paper check. Differing fulfillment methods may have different costs and time frames associated with them. You agree that Heavy Blade has fulfilled its payment obligations even if there are delays outside of its control.

Your ability to withdraw funds can be suspended if your account is under review for unlawful conduct, breaking these Terms, failure to provide tax reporting paperwork, or other events in the sole discretion of Heavy Blade.

Upon withdrawal of funds, you may be asked to verify your identity. This action is for your own protection as we attempt to prevent unauthorized transactions from your account. These requests can include your tax ID number, social security number, drivers licence image, passport, or other documentation that can validate your identity. Heavy Blade may also ask personal background questions to validate your identity.
If you cannot or will not provide identification verification to the satisfaction of Heavy Blade and/or its third-party service providers, Heavy Blade reserves the right to deny your withdrawal request until such a time as your identity can be verified.

REFUND POLICY - PAID CONTESTS
You may request a refund of the entry fee in a Paid Contest any time before the final team in your Paid Contest has registered for a draft date. For example, in a Paid Contest with 17 participants, you can request a refund any time before the 17th participant joins. No refunds will be granted after the final team has registered. If you do not show up for your draft date you will not receive a refund.

REFUND POLICY - PRIVATE LEAGUES
You may request a refund for a Private League any time before the second week of that season’s Term. For example, in an NFL season, you can request a refund any time before the start of Week 2.

NOTIFICATION
Winners will generally be posted on the Service after the conclusion of each contest. Winners may be requested to return via email or regular mail an affidavit of eligibility, a publicity agreement and appropriate tax forms by a specified deadline. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in disqualification. Any prize notification returned as undeliverable may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner. In addition, a list of winners and winner's names for each competition period may be obtained by writing to: Heavy Blade, Inc., 3500 Vicksburg Lane N #400-309, Plymouth, MN 55447.

STATISTICS
Heavy Blade utilizes third-parties to provide statistics for its contests and leagues. Heavy Blade considers its statistics providers as the official source of the contest’s data. Because of the nature of guillotine leagues, Heavy Blade does not recognize statistical corrections made after each weekly elimination isa made.
