Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, You agree that You have no right or title in or to any content that appears in the Service.
9.0 Alternate Currencies:
You may have the opportunity to accumulate "Alternate Currencies” through Your use of the Service. Alternate Currencies are virtual in-game points that You can use to "purchase” other Virtual Items within the Service. As with all Virtual Items, You do not in fact own the Alternate Currency You accumulate and the amounts of any Alternate Currency You accumulate do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, by "earning”, "buying”, or "purchasing” Alternate Currency, You are merely granted a limited license to use the software programs that manifest themselves as the Alternate Currencies. In the event OVC encounters issues with the game that impact the accumulation of Alternate Currencies and/or the redemption of Rewards, OVC reserves the right to correct any such errors. If You participate in any of our Rewards Partners’ rewards programs, the Alternate Currency You accumulate through Your use of the Service may be exchanged for items, services or experiences (each a “Reward”) offered by such Rewards Partners through those programs. OVC may, but is not obligated to, permit You to transfer a certain portion of Alternate Currency from existing accounts with a Rewards Partner provided You have downloaded the OVC Service Application (the “App.”) OVC has the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, as to the quantity of Alternate Currency that may transferred, the terms of such transfer(s), and as to what Rewards Partner’s Alternate Currency may be eligible for any such transfer through the App. In addition, OVC may occasionally run promotions relative to such transfers. These promotion may differ and may not be available for all Rewards Partners.
9.1 Accumulating Alternate Currency:
You may accumulate Alternate Currency by taking certain actions while using the Services. For example, You may earn Alternate Currency by posting Your in-game achievements to your Facebook account, "liking” certain aspects of the Service, playing the games for a specified duration, or participating in certain in-game offers. The foregoing list is solely for purposes of example and explanation and is not meant to be exclusive or exhaustive. Alternate Currency is NOT and WILL NOT be awarded or earned in any way related to or based upon the outcome of any game You play during Your use of the Services. You may also receive Alternate Currency when you spin the "Daily Bonus Wheel” in the Application. NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY to spin the Daily Bonus Wheel. The official rules for the Daily Bonus Wheel can be found at LINK url.
10.0 Using Alternate Currency:
You may exchange Your accumulated Alternate Currency for in-game Virtual Items in the Service. You may also exchange Your Alternate Currency for Rewards in the "Rewards” area of the Service. The first time you exchange Your Alternate Currency for Rewards, You will be asked to provide Your name and email address. The name you provide must match the name that appears on a government-issued photo identification belonging to the person who has accumulated the Alternate Currency through his/her use of the Service. The identification will be used by our Rewards Partners to verify Your eligibility. Once You have exchanged Alternate Currency for a Reward, You are said to have "purchased” that Reward. After purchasing Your Reward for Rewards that are accessed in the future, You may have a limited period of time in which complete by following a defined “Redemption Method.” Redeeming a Reward that has been purchased in the Service secures that Reward for your specific use at a particular time. When the redemption process is complete, You may then “use” the Reward. A Reward is considered “used” at the moment when it is consumed, e.g., when You check into a hotel room or when You use the Reward to acquire other goods and services. Rewards Partners may, at their discretion, place restrictions on the usage of the rewards they offer in the Service, e.g., a minimum age requirement, reward usage black-out dates, a limit as to the number and frequency of rewards that may be used within a specified period of time, and the requirement to participate in the partner’s own loyalty program, which may exists independently of the Service. Redemption of Rewards are subject to the terms and provisions of the Rewards provider, including limitations on redeeming Rewards if you self-limit or self-exclude with the Reward provider or any regulatory agency, including any gaming regulatory agencies. Because the Redemption Period, Redemption Method, and other terms of Rewards usage may vary, You must review the specific terms and conditions of each Reward You purchase with Your alternate currency.

OVC conducts maintenance work on its system from time to time. A portion, or sometimes all, of the features of the Service will not be available during maintenance periods.
21.0 Dispute Resolution and Arbitration:
This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration provision (this "Provision”) facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and OVC. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute waive their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (or arbitrator) for a binding decision. You have the right to opt-out of this Provision (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury. Please read this Provision carefully. It provides that all Disputes between you and OVC (as defined below, for this Provision) shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or jury, and/or participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys' fees). For the purpose of this Provision, "OVC” means OVC and its parents, subsidiary, and affiliate companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term "Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and OVC regarding any aspect of your relationship with OVC, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). "Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. YOU AND OVC EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS PROVISION. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. Because the Service and these Terms concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
21.01 Venue:
You or OVC must initiate arbitration in Chicago, Illinois.
You and OVC will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator's costs equally. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that You incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law.
21.02 Class Action Waiver:
Except as otherwise provided in this Provision, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both You and OVC specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If You choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of this Provision, as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you.
21.03 Jury Waiver:
You understand and agree that by entering into this agreement you and OVC are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this Provision, You and OVC might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, those rights are waived. Other rights that You would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.
21.04 Severability:
