These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and us and govern the relationship between you and us. We may terminate these Terms at our discretion at any time.

Carnival Cowboys is a game of skill, offered for entertainment. You can buy virtual items (such as bullets) and mint costume NFTs with cryptocurrency.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations.

4.4. If the Game, or any part of it, is illegal under the laws of the country where you are located, no licence to use it is granted to you.

5. User content

5.1. We may permit you to publish content through the Game, such as your player name, messages, images and game records ("User Content").

5.2. You agree that you publish such content willingly, that you own it, that you have all the rights needed to publish it, and that publishing it complies with all applicable laws.

6. Virtual items, NFTs and digital assets

6.1. You are not required to make any purchase to use the Game: Training and the Drifter League are free. You may buy or earn virtual items for use in the Game, such as bullets ("Virtual Items"). Some features, such as the Arena League, require you to hold at least one costume NFT.

6.2. Virtual Items are licensed to you, not sold, on these terms:

6.3. Costume NFTs. Costume NFTs are tokens on the Solana blockchain. Once one is minted to your wallet, you hold that token and may keep, transfer or sell it on third-party marketplaces, at your own risk and subject to those marketplaces' terms. A creator royalty may apply to resales. Holding an NFT gives you no ownership of the underlying artwork, characters or other intellectual property, which remain ours (Section 4). It gives no right to any profit, dividend or future value, and no right to any game feature beyond those described in the Rules. Costumes, their tiers and their in-game use may change. Mint results, spins and respins are final.

6.4. SPINFUN and other tokens. Some features, such as respins and bail, are paid by burning SPINFUN tokens. Burned tokens are destroyed permanently and are never refunded. We do not control the value or availability of any token.

6.5. Blockchain risks. You accept the risks of using blockchains and wallets, including:

We are not your wallet provider and cannot recover lost assets or reverse transactions. Nothing in the Game is an offer of securities, an investment or financial advice.

6.6. We have the right:

6.7. If we credit, charge or deliver something in error, we may correct it, including by reversing the error or adjusting balances.

7. Arena League prizes and rewards

7.1. The Arena League is a weekly skill competition. Part of every ammo purchase goes to that week's prize pool, as described in the Rules, and we may add to the pool at our discretion. At the weekly close, the pool is shared among the top players by points, in the proportions and on the conditions published in the Rules.

7.2. To receive a prize you must meet all the conditions in the Rules (for example, a wallet linked to your Account for at least the required time before the close). We may also require identity, age and location checks before paying. You must not be in a country where taking part is illegal.

7.3. Prizes are paid in cryptocurrency to your linked wallet. You are solely responsible for any taxes on prizes and rewards you receive.

7.4. We may delay, withhold, reduce, void or reclaim any prize, points or reward, and adjust rankings, if we reasonably believe there was cheating, collusion, use of multiple accounts or bots, exploitation of a bug or error, fraud, a sanctions or legal issue, or any other breach of these Terms. We may also do so if a technical error affected the results. Our decision on rankings and prizes is final.

7.5. The referral program is governed by its own conditions (Referral Terms), which form part of these Terms.

7.6. We may change, suspend or end the Arena League, its prizes, the referral program or any promotion at any time. Prizes already confirmed as won are paid under the rules that applied at the time.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

11.1. These Terms, and any issue, dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the use of the Game, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Costa Rica, without regard to conflict or choice-of-law principles.

11.2. Except where applicable law requires otherwise or these Terms provide otherwise, you and we accept the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of San José, Costa Rica.

11.3. If you have a claim against us, you agree to make your best efforts to resolve it as soon as possible by contacting us at cowboys@dragondreamstudio.com. If we have your contact information, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you to resolve informally any claim we may have against you before taking formal action. If the dispute is not resolved informally within 15 days, either of us may start arbitration as described in Section 12.

12. Arbitration

12.1. By agreeing to these Terms, you and we agree to resolve any dispute through final and binding arbitration, as described here, except as set out in Section 12.7.

12.2. If you do not agree to arbitrate, you may opt out within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms by contacting us at cowboys@dragondreamstudio.com with your first and last name. Otherwise, you are bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out, we are not bound by these arbitration provisions either.

12.3. You and we agree that the Conciliation and Arbitration Center of the Costa Rica Chamber of Commerce (Centro de Conciliación y Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica) will administer the arbitration under its rules in force when arbitration is sought. Those rules govern the payment of all arbitration fees.

12.4. Arbitration is handled on an individual basis by a single arbitrator, in accordance with those rules. Unless you and we agree otherwise, hearings take place in a location reasonably convenient for both parties, taking into account their ability to travel and other relevant circumstances. If the parties cannot agree on a location, the arbitration centre decides.

12.5. Arbitration of any dispute proceeds on an individual basis. Neither you nor we may bring a claim as part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration ("Collective Arbitration"). A dispute against us is deemed a Collective Arbitration if (a) two or more similar claims for arbitration are filed at the same time by or on behalf of one or more claimants, and (b) the claimants' counsel is the same, or shares fees or coordinates across the arbitrations.

12.6. You and we agree that all claims are decided on an individual basis, and each of us waives the right to take part in a Collective Arbitration or any other joint action concerning the claims.

12.7. Exceptions to the agreement to arbitrate. Either party may bring a court action that seeks only temporary injunctive relief until an arbitrator is appointed and decides whether to continue, modify or end that relief, or to enforce an arbitral award made under these Terms. We are not required to use any alternative dispute resolution platform.

13. General

13.1. These Terms, together with the Rules, the Privacy Policy and the Referral Terms, are the entire agreement between you and us on their subject matter. They replace all previous agreements, whether verbal, written or based on alleged past practice.

13.2. If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that finding does not affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision.

13.3. We may assign, sell, transfer, subcontract or sublet our rights, or delegate our responsibilities under these Terms, in whole or in part, without your prior written approval. You may not assign or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

13.4. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, failures of networks, blockchains or third-party services, strikes, or shortages of transport, fuel, energy, labour or materials.

13.5. We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, about your legal right to access or use the Game, and neither does any person affiliated with us or claiming to be. Not all features, products or services of the Game are available to all persons or in all locations. We may limit, at our sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any feature, product or service to any person or geographic area.
