PURCHASES OF VIRTUAL CHIPS
While using the Service, you may "earn", "buy" or "purchase" Virtual Chips for use in the
Service. You hereby acknowledge that these “real world” terms are only used figuratively, and
you agree that you have no right or title in Virtual Chips appearing or originating in any Game,
whether "earned" in a Game or "purchased”, or any other attributes associated within an account
or stored on the Service. Any "virtual currency" balance shown in your YuePoker Account does not
constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a
measurement of the extent of your license. We prohibit and do not recognize any purported
transfers of Virtual Chips effectuated outside of the Service, or the purported sale, gift, or
trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Service. Accordingly,
you may not sublicense, trade, sell, or attempt to sell Virtual Chips for value of any kind
outside of a Game. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void and may
subject your YuePoker Account to termination. In addition, you acknowledge that we may commence
legal action against you for any harm done by such transfer or attempted transfer of Virtual
Chips outside of the Service.
- 1A.3. We are not required to provide a refund for any reason, and that you will not receive
money or other compensation for unused Virtual Chips when an YuePoker Account is closed,
whether such closure was voluntary or involuntary.

- We disclaim all warranties, expressed or implied, in connection with the Service which is
provided to you "AS IS" and we provide you with no warranty or representation whatsoever
regarding its quality, fitness for purpose, completeness or accuracy.
- Regardless of our efforts to provide you with service of the highest quality, safety and
security, we make no warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free,
that defects will be corrected or that the Software and the Sites shall be free from
viruses, bugs or other contaminants.
- We reserve the right to suspend, discontinue, modify, remove, or add to the Service in its
absolute discretion with immediate effect and without an obligation to provide you with
notice where we consider it necessary to do so including (for example) for the management,
maintenance or update of the Software and we shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for
any loss suffered because of any decision made by us in this regard.
AUTHORITY
- We retain authority over the issuing, maintenance, and closing of Users' accounts on the
Sites. The decision of our management, as regards any aspect of a User's account, use of the
Service or dispute resolution, is final and shall not be open to review or appeal.
YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

and agree that your use of the Service is at your sole option, discretion, and risk.

the owner of such information or that you have obtained all necessary consents and
permissions from the rightful owners and that such information is lawful, accurate and
correct.

provided by you at our discretion. If any information provided by you is found to be untrue,

PROHIBITED USES

tournament, including restricting two or more Users from playing together at the same table
or in the same tournament. In addition, we reserve the right to consider any collusion

assistance tools ("EPA Tools") that are designed to provide an "unfair advantage" to

any form of artificial intelligence.

These steps may include, but are not limited to, examination of software programs running
concurrently with our Software on the User's PC or Device. You agree that you will not
attempt to bypass, interfere with, or block such steps, including, without limitation, the
use of third-party software that bypasses, interferes with, or blocks such steps.
- CHIP-DUMPING: Chip-dumping occurs when any User intentionally loses a hand
to deliberately transfer his Chips to another User. Any User who participates or attempts to
participate in chip-dumping with any other User while using the Service may be permanently
banned from using the Service and their YuePoker Account may be terminated immediately. In
such circumstances, we will be under no obligation to return or credit to you any Chips that
may be in your YuePoker Account at such time.
- FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR: If we deem that a User has engaged or attempted to
engage in fraudulent, unlawful, dishonest, or improper activity while using the Service,
including without limitation, engaging in any of the activities set forth above or any other
game manipulation, we shall be entitled to take such action as we see fit, including but not
limited to:
- a. immediately blocking a User's access to the Service

Service even if we had prior knowledge of the possibility of such damages.
