Terms of Use/Service Last Revised: December 22, 2023 Welcome to the network of interactive services provided by Bettor Sports Network, LLC, its affiliates or its subsidiaries (collectively "BSN," “WatchParty”, ”us," or "we"). These Terms of Use ("Terms" or "Terms of Service") govern your use of our websites, applications, and other products and services that include an authorized link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services"). Please review these Terms carefully before using the Services because they affect your rights. You must be 18 or older to use our Services. By using any of the Services, you accept these Terms and agree to be legally bound by them. Please consult our Privacy Policy for information regarding our privacy practices.
1.Changes We may change these Terms in the future, so we encourage you to review periodically the Terms of Use applicable to each Service you use. The most current version of the applicable Terms of Use (along with its effective date) will be linked from each of the Services. If you do not agree with any changes to these Terms, your sole remedy is not to use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we change these Terms, you accept all changes.
2.Disputes; Arbitration If you have any dispute with or claim against us or any of our affiliates, or if we have a dispute with or claim against you, in either case arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms (a "Claim"), and the Claim is not resolved by emailing our Customer Service department at support@watchpartyplanner.com you and we each agree to attempt to resolve such Claim first through informal negotiation. If we do not resolve the Claim through informal negotiation, the Claim shall be resolved through binding arbitration or an individual action in small claims court in the U.S. county (or parish) of your residence or in Orange County, California. If neither of us chooses to resolve the Claim in small claims court, or the small claims court determines that it lacks jurisdiction to resolve the Claim, the Claim must be resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration. Class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted under any circumstances. You and we agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. This Section 2 shall survive termination of these Terms or any subscription that you may have to any of the Services. Before you or we commence an arbitration or file a small claims court action with respect to a Claim, you must first send to BSN a written notice of your Claim or we must send a written notice of our Claim to you ("Notice"). Your Notice must (1) be sent by certified mail; (2) be addressed to: BSN, Attn: Legal Department, 419 Main Street, Suite 130, Huntington Beach, CA 92648; (3) describe the nature of your Claim; and (4) specify the damages or other relief you seek. If we and you do not then resolve the Claim within 30 days after you receive a Notice of Receipt of the Claim, either you or we may commence an arbitration or file a small claims court action to resolve the Claim. Any such arbitration shall be administered by the JAMS Mediation, Arbitration, and ADR Services ("JAMS") in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as modified by the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (the "JAMS Rules"). Contact information for JAMS, as well as copies of the JAMS Rules and applicable forms, are available at http://www.jamsadr.com . In circumstances in which the JAMS Rules provide for an in-person hearing, such hearing will take place in the U.S. County (or parish) of your residence, or otherwise in Orange County, California. Payment of the parties' costs and fees owed to JAMS will be determined by the JAMS Rules and fee schedule and will be subject to any limitations on the costs and fees owed by you under the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. You and we agree that, under JAMS Comprehensive Rule 6(e), any arbitration commenced by you or by us shall be consolidated with any other arbitration(s) submitted to JAMS if and only if the arbitrations: (a) involve the same legal claims or causes of action; (b) involve common issues of fact and law; (c) were filed by the same attorney(s) or law firm; and (d) are at a similar procedural stage. However, class or representative arbitrations are not permitted under any circumstances.
3. Additional Terms Additional terms may apply to your use of certain Services. We will provide these terms to you or post them on the Services to which they apply, and they are incorporated by reference into these Terms. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms that apply to a particular Service, the additional terms will control. Sweepstakes, contests, and promotions on the Services may also have additional rules and eligibility requirements, such as certain age or geographic area restrictions. You are responsible for complying with these rules and requirements.

You may not embed the Video Player into any hardware or software application, even for non-commercial purposes. As determined by us in our sole discretion, we reserve the right to prevent embedding to any website or other location that we find inappropriate or otherwise objectionable as determined by us in our sole discretion. b. Commercial Licenses You must obtain our written permission for commercial use of the Content or the Services. If you wish to license Content from the Services, please contact us at support@watchpartyplanner.com. c.

7. User Submissions Some of the Services may allow you to submit or transmit audio, video, text, or other materials, including so-called "user generated content" and "feedback" (collectively, "User Submissions'') to or through the Services. When you provide User Submissions, you grant to BSN and its affiliates and partners a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, archive, edit, translate, create derivative works of, make available, distribute, sell, display, perform, transmit, broadcast and in any other way exploit those User Submissions, and any names, voices, likenesses and other identifying information of persons that is part of those User Submissions, in any form, media, software, or technology of any kind now known or developed in the future, including, without limitation, for developing, manufacturing, and marketing products. You hereby waive any moral rights you may have in your User Submissions. We respect your ownership of User Submissions. If you owned a User Submission before providing it to us, you will continue owning it after providing it to us, subject to any rights granted in these Terms and any access granted to others. Please note that if you delete a User Submission from the Services: The User Submission may still exist in our backup copies, which are not publicly available. If your User Submission was shared with third parties, those third parties may have retained copies of your User Submissions, and neither we nor our affiliates have any responsibility for any uses of your User Submission that they might make. We retain the license specified above. Thus, for example, if we or one of our sublicensees obtained your user Submission for use in creating a derivative work before you deleted it, we or our sublicensee would remain free to complete the creation of that derivative work and thereafter exploit that derivative work for all purposes and at all times. We may refuse or remove a User Submission without notice to you. However, we have no obligation to monitor User Submissions, and you agree that neither we nor our affiliates will be liable for User Submissions or any loss or damage resulting from User Submissions. We do not guarantee that User Submissions will be private, even if the User Submission is in a password-protected area. Accordingly, you should not provide User Submissions that you want protected from others. You bear all responsibility for your User Submissions. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant to BSN the license above and that your User Submissions do not violate Section 11.
8. Subscription & Fee-Based Services; Cancellation The Service provides subscription options. We reserve the right to change the pricing of all Services at any time. In the event of a price change, we will post the new pricing on the relevant Service and attempt to notify you by sending an email to the address you have registered. Billing for all mobile subscription services will be governed by the Mobile Features section of these Terms (Section 10) unless the terms of the subscription say otherwise. We may offer trial subscriptions to paid Services for free or at special discounted prices. Unless otherwise stated, these trial subscriptions will automatically become paying subscriptions at the current subscription rate if you do not cancel before the end of the trial period. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings, effective upon the next billing cycle. For example, if you have a monthly subscription renewing the first day of every month, and you cancel on June 15, your account will be canceled effective July 1, and you will retain access to the Services until that effective date.
9. Third-Party Content We may provide third party content (including advertisements) or link to third party websites on the Services. We do not necessarily endorse or evaluate third party content and websites, and we do not assume responsibility for third parties' actions or omissions.

Your wireless provider may charge for use of Mobile Features, including fees for receipt of text messages or data transmission. In order to receive Mobile Features, your wireless provider may require you to subscribe to additional services, which may require additional fees. These fees are not charged by us, and you should contact your wireless provider before you sign up for Mobile Features to determine what fees, if any, will be charged. In addition, you agree that we may arrange for Mobile Features billing through your wireless provider and that your wireless provider may invoice you for the applicable fees or deduct them from your pre-paid balance. You may not transfer or copy any Content from the wireless device on which you originally received Content to any other device, including, without limitation, any computer or another wireless device. To cancel a Mobile Feature that involves a subscription fee, you must follow the instructions included in the terms and conditions applicable to that Mobile Feature; otherwise, you will continue to incur subscription charges. If you stop a subscription- based Mobile Feature in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund for that billing cycle.
