12. Limitation of liability

We act solely as the tournament organizer and this website serves as a platform for their organization, administration and registration. We do not host any of its servers available where competitions are concerned; therefore, we are not responsible for any technical problems, outages or interruptions in the services of the main servers. The platform is provided 'as is'. and 'as is the system', however, while we strive for continuous availability, we are not responsible for temporary unavailability caused by factors beyond our reasonable control, such as internet outages or outages related to the underlying physical infrastructure of our virtual private server (VPS) provider.

13. Platform Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of the platform and your data. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all unauthorized access, use, or destruction of data. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login details and for any activities that occur under their account.

14. Detailed Tournament Rules

We regularly organize video game tournaments on our platform, which registered users can participate in.

Each tournament will be announced on our website and will include:

  • tournament name and specific video game in which the competition takes place,
  • exact date and time of registration start and end,
  • date and time of tournament start,
  • maximum number of participants or teams,
  • rules of the given tournament,
  • information about entry fee (if required) and its amount.

By participating in a tournament, the user agrees that their participation, results and possible recordings (including live streams or videos) may be publicly published on the site or through third parties without claim to compensation.

The rules of each tournament are listed separately and their acceptance is a condition of participation. In case of conflict between these general terms and specific tournament rules, those published for the given tournament take precedence.

If a participant pays the entry fee and withdraws no later than 8 working days before the tournament starts, they are entitled to a full refund. After this deadline, refund of the entry fee is not possible.

Non-payment of entry fee (if mandatory) means that participation in the tournament will not be allowed.

By participating in a tournament, the user also accepts that no additional rewards or compensation (e.g. travel, technical costs, time compensation, etc.) beyond the announced prize are due to them.

Each tournament may have specific eligibility requirements, including regional restrictions (e.g., EU only, CZ/SK only). Participants are responsible for ensuring they meet all stated eligibility criteria before registering. The designated region will be clearly specified on the respective tournament's page.

We reserve the right to cancel, postpone, or modify any tournament at any time for legitimate reasons. Such reasons include, but are not limited to, an insufficient number of registered participants or teams, significant technical problems, unexpected platform outages, or other unforeseeable circumstances that prevent the proper execution of the tournament (force majeure). In such an event, all registered participants will be informed as soon as possible via Discord or a notice on the platform. If an entry fee was required for the cancelled tournament, it will be refunded in full to all participants who paid it. Beyond the refund of the entry fee, we bear no liability for any other costs or damages that participants might incur in connection with the tournament's cancellation.

Prizes and Delivery

Information about specific prizes for a given tournament (if they are part of the tournament) will always be published on the respective tournament's page.

  • Prize Eligibility and Conditions: Prizes will only be awarded to winners who meet all eligibility criteria for the tournament, including any regional restrictions. We reserve the right to verify a winner's eligibility, including their location (e.g., via shipping address or other reasonable means)and to withhold any prize (physical or digital) if it is determined that the winner does not reside within the designated tournament region. In such a case, the prize is forfeited without compensation.
  • Contacting Winners: In the case of a team competition, the captain of the winning team will be contacted, who is considered the sole point of contact for the entire team. Contact will be made via the email address associated with their account or via Discord, if this contact information was provided and authorized for this purpose.
  • Responsibility for Prize Distribution Within the Team: The team captain is fully responsible for the fair and timely distribution of prizes among their team members. • In the case of digital prizes (e.g., game keys, codes) intended for the entire team, all prizes will be handed over to the team captain. The Operator bears no responsibility for the subsequent distribution of these prizes among individual team members. • In the case of physical prizes (e.g., t-shirts) intended for multiple team members, the captain is responsible for collecting and correctly providing all necessary details (e.g., names, shipping addresses, sizes) for each team member within the specified deadline.
  • Prize Claim and Deadline: The captain of the winning team (or the winning individual) is required to respond to the prize notification and provide all necessary information within 7 calendar days of our notification being sent, unless stated otherwise. If they do not respond or provide the necessary information within this period, the prize claim for the entire team is forfeited without compensation.
  • Responsibility for Provided Data: The team captain (or the winning individual) is fully responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data provided for the purpose of prize delivery. The Operator bears no responsibility for non-delivery or incorrect delivery of the prize due to incorrectly provided data.
  • Delivery and Costs: The method and estimated delivery date of the prize will be specified in the prize notification. Physical prizes are typically dispatched within 30 days of receiving complete and correct information from the captain. Any potential tax liabilities, customs duties, or other fees associated with receiving the prize are borne in full by each prize recipient.
  • Non-exchangeability and Non-transferability: Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash (unless the prize is a direct monetary reward) nor can they be legally enforced. The prize claim is non-transferable to another person or team.
  • Right to Change the Prize: We reserve the right, in case of unforeseen circumstances (e.g., product unavailability), to substitute the advertised prize with another prize of comparable or greater value.

15. Voluntary Support and Donations

Our platform offers users the option to voluntarily support us with a financial donation through third-party services such as Buy Me a Coffee, PayPal, or cryptocurrencies.

Providing any donation is entirely voluntary. By making a donation, the user does not gain any special advantages, rights, access to premium content, or any other service in return. All users have the same access to the platform's features, regardless of whether they have made a donation.

All financial transactions are processed exclusively by third parties. By clicking a donation link, you are redirected from our platform to the payment service provider's website. At that point, you become subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies. We strongly recommend that you read them.

We bear no responsibility for any errors, fees, or other issues that may arise during the transaction on the payment service provider's side.

17. Out-of-court dispute resolution

Our goal is to resolve any potential disputes primarily by agreement. If you have a complaint or believe that we have violated your rights, please contact us first so that we can try to find a mutually acceptable solution.

As a consumer, you have the right to out-of-court dispute resolution in accordance with Act No. 391/2015 Z. z. on alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes.

The use of alternative dispute resolution or the RSO platform does not exclude your right to bring a claim before the competent court.
