Last Updated
October 30, 2024
Important: These Terms require all disputes between us to go through binding arbitration instead of government court. By accepting these Terms, you waive any right to have disputes decided (1) by a judge or jury and (2) in class or representative actions. You can opt-out of arbitration for thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms—see opt-out under Dispute Resolution below.
We include brief summaries before each section to make reading and understanding this agreement easier. The summaries do not replace the text of each section, and you should still read each section in its entirety.

13. Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute, you and the Company agree to try to resolve it informally first. If we can’t resolve it in 60 days, we agree to arbitrate the claim, instead of going to court. You may opt-out of arbitration within 30 days of agreeing to this Agreement, as described below.
You agree to resolve disputes with the Company. through binding arbitration, except as described in this Section 13 (“Arbitration Clause”). The parties expressly waive the right to bring or participate in any kind of class, collective, or mass action, private attorney general action, or any other representative action. If you are a user who is a consumer, you may opt-out of arbitration under Section within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.
(a) Covered Disputes. You and the Company. agree that any dispute or claim between you and the Company. arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services (a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. A Dispute includes any claim or dispute relating to the Services, access and use of the Services, your Account, or any aspects of your relationship or transactions with the Company. A Dispute also includes any claims or disputes that arose from or involve facts that occurred before the effectiveness of this Agreement and claims that may arise after its termination. For clarity, nothing in this Arbitration Clause prevents either party from settling any Dispute(s) on a class-wide, batch-wide or other multiparty basis.
(b) Exceptions to Arbitration. This Arbitration Clause does not require arbitration of the following types of claims brought by either you or the Company. :
(i) small claims court actions, if the requirements of the court are met and the claims are only on an individual basis; and
(ii) claims pertaining to intellectual property rights, including trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights and patents.
(c) Informal Dispute Resolution First. Like you, we want to resolve Disputes without resorting to arbitration. If you have a Dispute with us, before initiating arbitration, you agree to send an individualized request (“Pre-Arbitration Demand”) to Dispute@MythWalker.com so that we can work together to resolve the Dispute.
This Section is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration. The arbitrator will dismiss any arbitration filed without fully and completely complying with these informal dispute resolution procedures.
(i) A Pre-Arbitration Demand is only valid when it pertains to, and is on behalf of, a single individual. A Pre-Arbitration Demand brought on behalf of multiple individuals is invalid as to all.
(ii) The Pre-Arbitration Demand must include: (i) your name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address associated with your account; (ii) the name, telephone number, mailing address and email address of your counsel, if any; (iii) a description of your Dispute; and (iv) your signature.
(iii) Likewise, if the Company has a Dispute with you, the Company will send an email with its individualized Pre-Arbitration Demand, including the requirements listed above, to the email address associated with your Account.
(iv) If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) calendar days of when either you or the Company submitted a Pre-Arbitration Demand, an arbitration can be brought.
(v) This Section does not apply to claims brought under the exception to arbitration in Section .
(d) Arbitration Procedure. If, after completing the informal process in Section , either you or the Company wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must serve the other party with a demand for arbitration. Any demand for arbitration by you will be sent to the Company’s address in Section . The Company will send any arbitration demand to the email address associated with your Account or to your counsel, if any. You and the Company agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs this Arbitration Clause. If the FAA cannot apply, then the state laws governing arbitration procedures where you reside apply.
(i) The arbitration will be administered by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) under its operative:
A. Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, and
B. where applicable, its Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, in each case as available at https://www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms.
This Arbitration Clause will govern to the extent it conflicts with the arbitration provider’s rules.
(ii) If the applicable arbitration provider is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitration provider. If the parties cannot agree on an appropriate alternative arbitration provider, the parties will ask a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5. To the extent there is a dispute over which arbitration provider has jurisdiction, a NAM arbitrator will be appointed to resolve that dispute.
(iii) Arbitration hearings will take place through videoconferencing, unless you and the Company agree upon another location in writing. A single arbitrator will be appointed.
(iv) The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and recoverable costs. Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction over the dispute. An arbitration award will have no preclusive effect in another arbitration or court proceeding involving the Company and a different individual. The arbitrator will have the exclusive authority to resolve all threshold arbitrability issues, including whether this Arbitration Clause is applicable, unconscionable, or enforceable, as well as any defenses to arbitration. However, a court has exclusive authority to rule on the Class Action Waiver in Section , including any claim that the section is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that it has been breached.
(v) If a request to proceed in small claims court (see Section ), is made after an arbitration has been initiated, but before an arbitrator has been appointed, such arbitration will be administratively closed. Any controversy over the small claims court’s jurisdiction will be determined by the small claims court.
(e) Jury Trial Waiver. You and Company agree to waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and the Company are instead electing that all Disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Clause, except as specified in Section above. Court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. Discovery may be limited in arbitration, and procedures are more streamlined than in court.
(f) Class Action Waiver. You and the Company agree that, except as specified in Section below, each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, representative, or mass action basis.
(i) The parties agree to waive all rights to have any Dispute be brought, heard, administered, resolved, or arbitrated on a class, collective, representative, or mass action basis.
(ii) Subject to this Arbitration Clause, the arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief to the party’s individual claim.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Clause, if a court decides, in a final nonappealable decision, that the limitations of this Section are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and the Company agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) will be severed from the arbitration and will be pursued in the courts specified in Section .
(g) Batch Process. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and the Company agree that if 25 or more arbitration demands of a substantially similar nature, are filed within a one hundred and eighty (180) day period (“Mass Filing”):
(i) to administer the Mass Filing in batches of 25 demands per batch (or less, if fewer than 25 remain) (“Batches”), with only one Batch filed, processed, and adjudicated at a time;
(ii) to designate one arbitrator for each Batch;
(iii) to accept applicable fees, including any related fee reduction determined by NAM in its discretion;
(iv) that no other demands for arbitration that are part of the Mass Filing may be filed, processed, or adjudicated until the prior Batch is filed, processed, and adjudicated;
(v) that fees associated with a demand for arbitration included in a Mass Filing, including fees owed by the Company and the claimants, will only be due after your demand for arbitration is included in a Batch that is properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication; and
(vi) that the Batch process will continue until each demand (including your demand) is adjudicated or otherwise resolved.
(vii) Any statutes of limitation, including the requirement to file within eighteen months in Section below, will remain tolled while any arbitration demands are held in abeyance. While the Batches are adjudicated, no other demand for arbitration that is part of the Mass Filing may be processed, administrated, or adjudicated, and no filing or other administrative costs for such a demand for arbitration will be due from either party to the arbitration provider.
A. If, contrary to this provision, a party prematurely files an arbitration demand, the parties agree that the arbitration provider must hold those demands in abeyance.
(viii) Substantially similar nature. All parties agree that arbitration demands are of a “substantially similar nature” if they relate to the same event or factual scenario, raise the same or similar legal issues and seek similar relief.
(ix) Mass Filing Administration. Any party may request that the arbitration provider appoint a sole standing administrative arbitrator (“Administrative Arbitrator”) to determine threshold questions such as (1) whether the Batch process is applicable or enforceable, (2) whether particular demand(s) are part of a Mass Filing, and (3) whether demands within a Mass Filing were filed in accordance with this Arbitration Clause, including Section .
A. To expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree that the Administrative Arbitrator may provide and use any procedures necessary to resolve the dispute promptly. The Company will pay the Administrative Arbitrator’s costs.
B. The parties will work in good faith with the arbitrator to complete each Batch within one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days of its initial pre-hearing conference. The parties agree that the Batch process is designed to achieve an overall faster, more efficient, and less costly mechanism for resolving Mass Filings.
(x) This Batch Process provision will in no way be interpreted as increasing the number of claims necessary to trigger the applicability of NAM’s Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, or authorizing class arbitration of any kind. Unless the Company otherwise consents in writing, the Company does not agree or consent to class arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as set forth in this Section .
(h) Settlement. At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for the arbitration hearing, you or the Company may serve a written offer of judgment upon the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance will be submitted to the arbitration provider, who will enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted before the earlier of the arbitration hearing or thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, it will be deemed withdrawn, and cannot serve as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party will not recover their post-offer costs and will pay the offering party’s costs from the time of the offer.
The parties agree that any disputes with respect to settlement offer(s) or offer(s) of judgment in a Mass Filing are to be resolved by a single arbitrator to the extent such offers contain the same material terms. For arbitrations involving represented parties, the represented parties’ attorneys agree to communicate individual offer(s) of judgment to each and every arbitration claimant or respondent to whom such offers are extended.
(i) Arbitration Costs. Except as provided for in a Mass Filing under Section , your responsibility to pay any filing, administrative, and arbitrator costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable arbitration provider’s rules.
(j) 18-Month Filing Deadline. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, and notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, any claim or cause of action under this Arbitration Clause (with the exception of disputes under Section ) must be filed within eighteen (18) months after such claim or cause of action arose. Otherwise, that claim or cause of action will be permanently barred. The statute of limitations and any arbitration cost deadlines remain tolled during the required informal process under Section above.
(k) Opt-Out. You may reject this Arbitration Clause and opt out of arbitration by sending an email to Opt-Out@MythWalker.com within thirty (30) calendar days of first accepting these Terms. If you have an Account, your opt-out notice must be sent from the email address associated with your Account. No one may opt-out another person. Your notice to opt-out must include your first and last name, address, the email address associated with your Account (if you have an Account), and a clear statement that you decline this Arbitration Clause.
(l) Severability. Except as provided in Section above, if any provision of this Arbitration Clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed. The remaining provisions will still apply and will be interpreted to achieve the closest possible intent to the original intent of this section, inclusive of the severed provision.

Last Updated: October 11, 2024
1. Copyright Policy
This Copyright Policy (this “Policy”) describes NantG Mobile, LLC’s (dba NantGames)’s (the “Company’s”) processes for receiving and responding to copyright infringement notices, sent by rightsholders or their agents, regarding material our users have posted to the Company’s platform. This Policy is governed by our Terms of Service (“Terms”) and is designed to comply with the requirements of the notice-and-takedown provisions of the United States’ Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). In accordance with the DMCA, we generally remove or disable content that rightsholders claim to be infringing. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Policy are defined in our Terms.
1. Caution Advised
The notices described in this Policy are serious legal actions with potentially serious consequences. In particular:
(a) Filing a false copyright notice can be unlawful. Aside from perjury penalties, sending false copyright notices can create legal claims under the DMCA.
(b) Dispute copyright notices with care. Copyright owners can prevent disabled content from being put back onto the platform by initiating legal action.
(c) Information submitted in notices is not private. Your copyright notice will be sent to the other party. We reserve the right to publicly post and share redacted copyright notices for transparency reporting purposes.
(d) Copyright disputes are tracked to help us curtail repeat infringement. Our policies and the DMCA commit us to acting against repeat infringers, and we will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in certain cases. How you respond to copyright notices informs our repeat infringer evaluation.
Consider seeking professional advice before proceeding with any notice described in this Policy.
2. Submitting Notices and Our Designated Agent
(a) Although we respond to all copyright notices submitted under this Policy expeditiously, submitting your notice directly to us will help ensure that your notice is compliant with legal requirements and receives the fastest possible response.
(b) To submit a copyright notice to our designated agent, email dmca@mythwalker.com Our designated agent can also be reached by mail at Copyright, NantGames, 450 Duley Rd., El Segundo, CA 90245.
3. Sending a Copyright Notice
(a) When sending a non-form notice to our designated agent, be sure that it includes all the information required under the DMCA. For your reference, this includes:
(i) A description of the work or works you claim have been infringed
(ii) A description of the content on our website you claim to be infringing and the associated URL(s), titles or content identifiers
(iii) Your contact information
(iv) Your statement confirming a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
(v) Your statement confirming that the information you’ve provided is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed
(vi) Your signature
(b) On receipt of a notice compliant with the requirements of the DMCA, our practice is to promptly remove or disable the material identified as infringing. Note that copyright notices can be disputed under the terms of this Policy, and that the dispute process may result in replacement of removed or disabled content.
4. Receiving a Copyright Notice
(a) If something you’ve posted to the Company is the target of a valid copyright notice, we will generally send to the email address (or other contact information) on file in your Account a copy of that notice when we remove or disable the allegedly infringing content. To restore the removed or disabled content, you must dispute the notice in accordance with the terms of this Policy. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access and accounts for anyone who reposts or replaces previously removed content in a manner inconsistent with this Policy.
5. Disputing a Copyright Notice
(a) You may dispute a copyright notice submitted against your Account by dmca@mythwalker.com. After receiving a dispute notice that meets the requirements of the DMCA, we will send a complete copy of the notice to the complaining party. The rightsholder will then have ten (10) business days to initiate legal action and notify us. If we don’t receive timely notice of legal action from the rightsholder, we will generally replace the material that had been removed or disabled.
(b) When sending a notice to our designated agent, be sure that it includes all the information required under the DMCA. For your reference, this includes:
(i) A description of the content that’s been removed and any associated URL(s) or other identifying information
