Reference is made to NEX Team Inc. (“Nex”, “us”, “our”, and “we”) and our products and services currently known as “Starri”, its website at “https://starrigame.com/” and other related products and services (collectively, the “Services”).
These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) set forth the legally binding terms and conditions that govern your use of the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you are accepting these Terms (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent), and you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent). If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Terms, do not access and/or use the Services.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services.

These terms require the use of arbitration (Section 9.2) on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.
1. Access to the Services
1.1. License. Subject to these Terms, Nex grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Services solely for your own personal, noncommercial use.

Without limiting the foregoing, you expressly agree and acknowledge that the songs available on the Services will be subject to change from time to time for any number of reasons (e.g., our license with the music labels or publishers may have a limited duration).
1.4. Ownership. Excluding any User Content that you may provide (defined below), you acknowledge that all the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, in the Services and its content are owned by Nex or Nex’s licensors or other suppliers. Neither these Terms nor your access to the Services transfer to you or any third-party any rights, title or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except for the limited access rights expressly set forth in Section 1.1. Nex and its licensors or other suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Terms. There are no implied licenses granted under these Terms. You shall not acquire any ownership rights whatsoever by downloading any Service Materials or by purchasing any Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods (each as defined below).
1.5. Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods.

The Services may also include virtual digital items, such as commodities, abilities (e.g., the ability to accelerate your progress in the game) or other goods that may be earned or obtained through the Services or otherwise purchased by you for legal tender or actual currency, or for Virtual Currency, subject to applicable law (“Virtual Goods”). Nex reserves the absolute right, at any time and at its sole discretion, to manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods, including setting any expiration dates for any Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods. Nex shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event that Nex exercises any such rights. You have no right, tile or interest in or to any such Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency appearing or originating in the Services except the following: You will have a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use, solely within the Services, Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency that you have earned, purchased or otherwise obtained in a manner authorized by Nex.
You agree that the transfer of Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods is prohibited except where expressly authorized in the Services. Outside of the Services, you shall not sell, redeem or otherwise transfer Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods to Nex, any other user of the Services or any other party.
You agree that all sales of Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods are final and non-refundable, unless Nex or the applicable third party platform decides in its sole and absolute discretion to provide a refund. You agree that in the event that these Terms, your access to the Services, or the Services are terminated for any reason, which may include Nex’s discontinuation for any reason of the applicable portion of the Services, you will forfeit all Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods and Nex will have no liability to you in connection with that forfeiture.

If you provide Nex with any feedback or suggestions regarding the Services (“Feedback”), you hereby assign to Nex all rights in such Feedback and agree that Nex shall have the right to use and fully exploit such Feedback and related information in any manner it deems appropriate. Nex will treat any Feedback you provide to Nex as non-confidential and non-proprietary. You agree that you will not submit to Nex any information or ideas that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.

4. Third-Party Links & Ads; Other Users
4.1. Third-Party Links & Ads. The Services may contain links to third-party websites and services, and/or display advertisements for third parties (collectively, “Third-Party Links & Ads”). Such Third-Party Links & Ads are not under the control of Nex, and Nex is not responsible for any Third-Party Links & Ads. Nex provides access to these Third-Party Links & Ads only as a convenience to you, and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to Third-Party Links & Ads. You use all Third-Party Links & Ads at your own risk, and should apply a suitable level of caution and discretion in doing so. When you click on any of the Third-Party Links & Ads, the applicable third-party’s terms and policies apply, including the third-party’s privacy and data gathering practices. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such Third-Party Links & Ads.
4.2. Other Users. Each user of the Services is solely responsible for any and all of its own User Content. Because we do not control User Content, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any User Content, whether provided by you or by others. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, currency, suitability, or quality of any User Content. Your interactions with other users of the Services are solely between you and such users. You agree that Nex will not be responsible for any loss or damage incurred as the result of any such interactions. If there is a dispute between you and any user of the Services, we are under no obligation to become involved.
4.3. Release.

If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” If you live outside of California, you waive any other statute, law, or rule of similar effect in your jurisdiction.
5. Disclaimers

9. General
9.1. Changes. These Terms are subject to occasional revision and its latest version (with the revision date stated) will be made available through the Services. In case we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any), and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our Services. In the event that the last e-mail address that you have provided us is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you the notice described above, our dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice of the changes described in the notice. Any substantial changes to these Terms will not become effective within thirty (30) calendar days following our dispatch of an e-mail notice to you (if applicable) or thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Services. These changes will be effective immediately for new users of our Services. Continued use of our Services following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.
9.2. Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Nex and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a) Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by Nex that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Nex, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Nex should be sent to: NEX Team Inc., 333 W San Carlos St., Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95110. After the Notice is received, you and Nex may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Nex do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Nex made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Nex will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(e) Time Limits. If you or Nex pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Nex, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Nex.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Nex in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(j) Severability. If any part or parts of this agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
(k) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
(l) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Nex.
(m) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Nex may bring an individual action in small claims court.
(n) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
(p) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Santa Clara County, California, for such purpose.
9.3. Export. The Services may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries. You agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any U.S. technical data acquired from Nex, or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations.
9.4. Governing Law. These Terms and any action related thereto or to the Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
9.5. Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Nex use electronic means, whether you use the Services or send us emails, or whether Nex posts notices on the Services or communicates with you via email. For contractual purposes, you (a) consent to receive communications from Nex in an electronic form; and (b) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Nex provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
9.6. Additional Guidelines; Entire Terms. Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Services in connection with such features (for example, our Privacy Policy). All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules are incorporated by reference into these Terms. These Terms, including any other materials incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation”. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to Nex is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Nex’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Nex may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
9.7. Copyright/Trademark Information. Copyright © 2022 NEX Team Inc. All rights reserved. All trademarks, logos and service marks (“Marks”) displayed on the Services are our property or the property of other third parties. You are not permitted to use these Marks without our prior written consent or the consent of such third-party which may own the Marks.
