Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its interpretation, formation, performance and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or Your use of the Website shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules or Streamlined Arbitrations Rules, as appropriate, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

Accordingly, the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA") shall apply to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and formation of this Agreement, notwithstanding the choice of law and forum selection provided for in Section 8, below. The arbitrators, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim or dispute is subject to arbitration.

20. PRIVACY POLICY
20.1. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
We respect the right to privacy and the importance of protecting information collected about every person who accesses our Website. This includes your "right to be forgotten" if that’s your choice. We have adopted a Website-wide, nation-wide privacy policy regarding the personal-identifying information that is collected in the course of operating our Website. The personal-identifying information involved is any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with, a particular natural person. This includes name, signature, social security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver's license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, and any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information, and as well the IP address, operating system, browser type, hardware model and version type of the equipment that you use to connect to the Website. (An IP address is a number which identifies a specific device on the Internet and is required to enable Your device to communicate with websites). In summary, personal-identifying information is information which identifies a person who accesses our Website and may be used to contact the person. (Personal-identifying information does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records or is in the public domain and comes from a source other than information supplied to our website by the person involved).
This policy guides how we will store and use the personal-identifying information which people provide when accessing our website. We collect personal-identifying information from you when you register on the Website, to participate in our free prize promotions and no-prize contests, to establish a Hyperkade Service account , to win a prize due to your participation in a contest or prize promotion, to respond to a survey, to purchase any product or service through use our Website, claim a prize won by your participation on one of our prize promotions, or (if there are message boards or chat rooms) to place content on any message boards made available on our Website.
We will use the personal-identifying information that we collect: (1) to administer the contests, tournaments, prize promotions and other advertising and promotional activities that we conduct from time to time (including prize notifications and prize deliveries), and (2) to make reports and submissions to governmental agencies and branches, as required or permitted by law, and (3) to compile market and statistical reports based on aggregated information (but the reports do not contain personal identifying information), and (4) to allow us to better respond to the individual needs and preferences of people who access our website, and (5) to invite you to participate in surveys, sweepstakes, contests, competitions, tournaments and other promotions, and (6) for data analysis, audits, developing new products and services, identifying usage trends and determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, and (7) to enable us to pay royalties to third-party content providers, and (8) to process transactions, including (not limited to) fulfillment of prize awards, and product and service purchases.
We may send email, text message and voice telephone announcements of upcoming features, change or addition of content or rules, contests and prize promotions and information about products, features and events that we believe you may be interested in. You can opt out of these communication programs by notifying our Privacy Policy Administrator identified below, to desist from initiating these communications.
We may share your personal-identifying information only with trusted third parties who have contractually committed to protect your personal-identifying information in the same way that we do and who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, conducting our contests, tournaments and prize promotions, preparing market and statistical reports, and conducting other contests or promotions or providing services to you, so long as those parties agree by enforceable contract to keep this information confidential. From time to time we may also share in confidence documented by contractual undertaking, customer lists compiled upon the basis of information we have collected, to businesses and charitable entities that post content or advertise on the Hyperkade Website; but this sharing is also subject to contractual commitments regarding your privacy, that obligate the affected third parties to store personal-identifying information securely and to use and store the information only for purposes and in a manner that is not inconsistent with our privacy policy.

To safeguard the confidentiality of personal-identifying information that we collect, we implement password protection and a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal-identifying information when you enter, submit or access your personal information. We use a secure server to protect your personal-identifying information and to prevent unauthorized access and disclosure. All supplied personal-identifying information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer technology and then encrypted into our database only to be accessible by those who are authorized with special access rights to such systems and who are required to keep the personal-identifying information confidential.

After a transaction, your private payment information may not be stored on our servers. We will retain personal-identifying information, including information from closed accounts, to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any money owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, enforce the "official rules" of our prize promotions, prepare marketing and demographic studies and statistical reports, and to take any necessary or appropriate actions permitted by law. Please be aware that it is technologically impossible to remove from our servers, every record or information that you provide to us. The need for backup means that a copy of your personal information may exist in non-erasable form.
You have “the right to be forgotten.” If you request removal of your personal information from our database, we will take all reasonable steps to comply with your request. Any person who requests such removal or who has questions or comments about our privacy policy or our collection, safeguarding and use of protected Participant personal information may present the inquiry by writing in the form of signed hard copy to: Privacy Policy Administrator, HyperKade, LLC, HyperKade, LLC, (United States of America).

No information should be provided to us by or regarding children younger than thirteen years of age without documented parental consent.

In response to the inquiry the Privacy Policy Administrator will review and remove the child’s information as appropriate. In any event we do not knowingly record or disclose personal-identifying information about children younger than thirteen years of age.
