Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy for Treasure Valley Forge, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), describes how we collect, use, and disclose information about users of the Company’s website located at treasurevalleyforge.com and related subdomains, including stellarreturn.treasurevalleyforge.com (“Website”), the Company’s mobile application called Stellar Return (“App”), and the related services, tools, and features (collectively, the “Services”). For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using, accessing, or downloading any of the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you may not use, access, or download any of the Services.
U.S.-Focused Policy. The Services are intended for users in the United States. Where required by applicable law, we provide additional disclosures and choices (including for certain state privacy laws). The Services are not directed to individuals outside the United States, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from individuals outside the United States.
Updating This Privacy Policy
We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time, in which case we will update the “Last Revised” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to the way in which we use the information we collect, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (such as by emailing you at the last email address you provided us, by posting notice of such changes on the Website and/or in the App, or by other means consistent with applicable law) and will take additional steps as required by applicable law. If you do not agree to any updates to this Privacy Policy, please do not access or continue to use the Services.
Our Collection and Use of Information
When you access or use the Services, we may collect certain categories of information about you from a variety of sources. This Privacy Policy covers our use of any information that can or could be used to identify you (“Personal Data”). It does not cover information which cannot be used to identify you (“Anonymous Data”). We need to collect and use certain Personal Data to provide the Services to you and fulfill the promises we make to you in the Terms of Use.
Account and Registration Information. To compete in Contests, you must register an account. The Personal Data we collect as part of the account creation process includes your email address, authentication identifiers, email verification status, screen name, username reservation, contest consent status, and account timestamps.
Gameplay Information. We collect gameplay information, including contest identifiers, score submissions, validated survival times, tap counts, death counts, leaderboard placement, payout rank, and related score-validation and anti-fraud review information.
Device and Diagnostic Information. We and our service providers collect device, app, diagnostic, notification, app-attestation (Firebase App Check), and advertising information processed by Firebase, Google Mobile Ads, Apple, Google, and related platform services. This may include device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP address, device type and operating system, crash logs, and app performance data.
Location Information. We collect general location information (such as IP-based location and device signals) to (i) determine whether you are located in an eligible jurisdiction for prize-eligible Contests, (ii) prevent fraud and circumvention of location restrictions (including detecting VPN or proxy usage), and (iii) comply with legal requirements. We do not collect precise background location information.
Prize and Payout Information. We collect information needed to review and send eligible prizes, including winner email address, name, screen name, leaderboard rank, payout amount, and Tremendous reward and order status. If your aggregate prize winnings meet applicable tax reporting thresholds, we will also collect the information necessary to complete IRS tax reporting, which may include your full name, mailing address, and Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number collected via IRS Form W-9 in order to prepare a Form 1099-MISC or other applicable tax information return. See 26 U.S.C. § 6041.
Feedback and Communications. We collect and maintain records of customer service and other communications with users, including survey responses, questions, or comments sent to us. This information may be used to support users and improve the Services.
How We Use Information. We use the information described above to create, authenticate, secure, and support accounts; to operate Contests, leaderboards, deterministic gameplay validation, anti-cheat review, notifications, and prize payouts; to display advertisements and measure app performance; to detect and prevent fraud; to debug and improve the Services; to enforce our Terms of Use and Contest Rules; and to comply with legal and tax obligations. We may also use any of the above information to protect or defend the Services and the rights of the Company, our users, or others, and to otherwise operate our business. This Privacy Policy is integrated into and is expressly a part of the Terms of Use, to be interpreted in conjunction with such Terms.
Website Cookies and Analytics. The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Website, monitor aggregate usage, and improve the Services. You may decline non-essential cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may limit some features. Our Website is not designed to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from browsers due to the lack of an industry standard for interpreting such signals.
Account Information and Deletion
If you would like to review or change the information in your account, you can do so through your in-app account settings. The App includes an account deletion feature. Upon your request to delete your account, we will deactivate or delete your account and information from our active databases. However, we may retain some information in our files to prevent fraud, troubleshoot problems, assist with investigations, enforce our legal terms, and/or comply with applicable legal requirements, including payout, tax, fraud, security, and audit records.
Data Retention
We retain your Personal Data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Specific retention periods include:
Prize, payout, and tax records: seven (7) years for tax and compliance purposes;
Account data: until your account deletion request, plus ninety (90) days for fraud monitoring;
Fraud, security, and audit records: as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law.
Anonymous Data may be retained indefinitely for analytics.
Parties We May Share Your Information With
We will not share any Personal Data that we have collected from or about you except as described below:
Information Shared with Our Service Providers. We engage external service providers to work with us to administer and provide the Services. These service providers have access to your Personal Data only for the purpose of performing services on our behalf. Our service providers help us to:
Run, operate, and maintain the Services, including through Firebase services provided by Google LLC (authentication, database, hosting, cloud functions, App Check, and messaging);
Display advertisements through Google Mobile Ads and related advertising services;
Deliver eligible prize rewards through Tremendous;
Perform crash reporting, performance monitoring, and app analytics;
Administer Contests, including verifying eligibility, validating scores, and preventing fraud; and
Provide technical and customer support.
These providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
Information Shared with Other Users and Publicly. When you participate in Contests, your screen name, scores, leaderboard rank, and eligible payout may be visible to other users in the App. Do not use a screen name that reveals personal information you do not want made public.
Advertising. Our advertising providers may collect device and advertising identifiers to serve and measure advertisements in the App. Depending on your state of residence, this activity may be considered “sharing” or use for “targeted advertising” under applicable state privacy laws, and you may have the right to opt out as described below. You may also limit ad tracking through your device settings, including Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework and ad personalization settings.
Information Disclosed for Our Protection and the Protection of Others. We cooperate with government and law enforcement officials or private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We only share information about you with government or law enforcement officials or private parties when we reasonably believe it necessary or appropriate: (a) to respond to claims or legal process (including subpoenas and warrants); (b) to protect our property, rights, and safety and the property, rights, and safety of a third party or the public in general; or (c) to investigate and stop any activity that we consider illegal, unethical, or legally actionable.
Information Disclosed in Connection with Business Transactions. Information that we collect from our users, including Personal Data, is a business asset. If we are acquired by a third party as a result of a transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, some or all of our assets, including your Personal Data, may be disclosed or transferred to a third-party acquirer in connection with the transaction.
No Sale of Personal Data. We do not sell Personal Data in exchange for money.
Communications and Opt-Out. If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us, you may opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in our emails. Please note that this opt-out does not apply to operational or informational communications related to your account, Contests in which you are participating, prize delivery, or other administrative purposes.
Children’s Privacy
Stellar Return is a game that is restricted to adults over the age of 18 (18+) or the age of majority in their jurisdiction if greater than 18. Accordingly, Stellar Return is not intended for children under thirteen (13) years of age, and we do not seek or knowingly collect Personal Data from children under thirteen (13), consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506. Participation in prize-eligible Contests requires users to be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, if higher), and prize eligibility may require identity, age, residency, tax, or payment review as described in the Official Contest Rules or required by law. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information from a child under thirteen (13), we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information from our database. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under thirteen (13) who has provided us with Personal Data, you may contact us using the information below to request that it be deleted.
Third-Party Websites and Links
We may provide links to third-party websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow these links, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these third-party sites. Any information provided to a third-party service is subject to that party’s privacy policy, not ours.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. Please be aware, however, that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee “perfect security.” We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us. If you have any concerns about the security of your information, please contact us immediately using the information provided in the “Contact” section of this policy.

Terms of Use
Welcome to the Terms of Use (these “Terms”) for the mobile application called Stellar Return (the “App” or “Stellar Return”) and the related website located at treasurevalleyforge.com and related subdomains, including stellarreturn.treasurevalleyforge.com (the “Website”), each operated by or on behalf of Treasure Valley Forge, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Website, the App, the Contests (defined below), and any content, tools, features, and functionality offered on or through them are collectively referred to as the “Services.”
These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services. Please read these Terms carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By accessing and/or using the Services, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you do not understand or agree to these Terms, you may not use the Services. We reserve the right to alter these Terms at our sole discretion. Any changes to these Terms will be posted on the Website or within the App. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms for updates or modifications. Your continued use of the Services after any changes to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree with or do not understand any updated Terms, you must discontinue using the Services immediately.
For purposes of these Terms, “you” and “your” means you as the user of the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity, then “you” and “your” includes you and that entity, and you represent and warrant that (a) you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and (b) you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf.
If you violate these Terms, we reserve the right to take appropriate measures against your account, which may include the suspension or termination of your account, the removal or adjustment of scores, and the withholding or forfeiture of prize eligibility. Where your account is suspended or terminated due to a breach of these Terms, we are under no obligation to provide reimbursement or compensation for any Services, prizes, or features you can no longer access, and any such losses will be borne solely by you.
Section 10 contains an arbitration clause and class action waiver. By agreeing to these Terms, you agree (a) to resolve all disputes (unless otherwise required by law) related to the Services through binding individual arbitration, which means that you waive any right to have those disputes decided by a judge or jury, and (b) to waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions, as set forth below. You have the right to opt out of the arbitration clause and the class action waiver as explained in Section 10.
1. Who May Use the Services
Qualified Users. You may use the Services only if you are at least eighteen (18) years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) and satisfy the eligibility requirements set forth in the Official Contest Rules. We may verify age, identity, and location and may suspend or terminate accounts we cannot verify. You may not create more than one account.
Free to Play; No Purchase Necessary. The Services are free to play. No purchase, payment, deposit, or entry fee is required to use the Services or to enter any Contest, and no purchase or payment will improve your chances of winning any prize. The Services do not permit deposits, wagers, or account balances of any kind.
Eligible Locations. You may only participate in prize-eligible Contests in jurisdictions where that such participation is permitted by applicable law (“Eligible Locations”). The Company may add or remove jurisdictions at any time based on changes in applicable law, and may use IP-based, device-based, and other location controls to restrict prize-eligible participation from Restricted Jurisdictions.
No Guarantee; User Responsibility to Check. While we use reasonable efforts to maintain an updated list of Eligible Locations, it is your responsibility to ensure that your participation in any Contest is lawful in your jurisdiction. By accessing the Services, you represent and warrant that your access to and use of the Services does not violate any applicable law.
Void Where Prohibited. Prize-eligible participation in Contests is void where prohibited or restricted by law.
Location Representation. You represent that you are physically located in an Eligible Location at the time you participate in any prize-eligible Contest and that you will not use VPNs, proxies, or location-masking tools to participate in prize-eligible Contests. The Company may require location verification and may deny prize eligibility, suspend accounts, or withhold prizes pending verification.
2. User Accounts
Creating and Safeguarding Your Account. To use certain features of the Services, you must create an account (“Account”). You must provide accurate, complete, and updated information for your Account, including a valid email address, and may be required to verify your email address before competing in Contests. You are solely responsible for any activity associated with your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your credentials. You must immediately notify us at info@treasurevalleyforge.com if you know or have reason to suspect that your Account has been compromised. You agree not to create any Account if we have previously removed your Account or banned you from the Services, unless we provide written consent otherwise.
Screen Names. You must select a screen name to compete in Contests. Your screen name, scores, leaderboard rank, and eligible payout may be visible to other users. You may not select a screen name that impersonates another person, is misleading, infringes the rights of others, or is offensive or unlawful, and you should not select a screen name that reveals personal information you do not want made public. We may reject, reserve, or require a change to any screen name in our discretion.
Inactive Accounts. If your Account remains inactive for more than twelve (12) months, the Company reserves the right to deactivate your Account and remove associated content after providing notice to your registered email address. Any unclaimed prizes associated with inactive Accounts will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
Code of Conduct. By using the Services, you agree that you will not:
Cheat or attempt to cheat, or manipulate or attempt to manipulate Contest outcomes through bots, scripts, automation, artificial intelligence, or other unfair methods;
Tamper with the App, modify client or network requests, manipulate device or network behavior, or interfere with Firebase or other services supporting the App;
Submit false, altered, or fraudulent scores or data;
Exploit bugs or otherwise seek an unfair advantage;
Open or operate more than one Account, or collude with other users to violate these Terms;
Harass, threaten, or defame other users;
Infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party; or
Use VPNs, proxies, emulators, device farms, or unauthorized software in connection with prize-eligible Contests.
Violations of this Code of Conduct may result in the immediate removal of scores, suspension or termination of your Account, forfeiture of prize eligibility, or legal action, including referral to law enforcement authorities. We determine in our sole discretion whether your conduct violates this Code of Conduct, and our decisions in that regard are final.
3. Description of the Services
In General. Stellar Return is a free-to-play, advertising-supported, skill-based arcade game offered through native mobile applications. In each run, the player taps to reverse direction and attempts to survive as long as possible without colliding with a planet. The player’s best validated survival time for the active Contest is submitted to that Contest’s leaderboard.
Shared Daily Seed; Deterministic Play. Each Contest uses a shared game seed so that eligible players competing in the same Contest receive the same deterministic obstacle sequence, subject to device, display, platform, and technical differences. Because the pseudorandom seed operates identically as to all participants in a given Contest, it does not materially or predominantly determine outcomes; leaderboard placement is determined by each player’s relative skill in achieving a validated survival time.
Skill Elements Utilized by Participants. Stellar Return is a skill-based contest, not a game of chance. Success depends on participants’ superior exercise of the following skills, each of which contributes to a player’s relative performance: (i) reaction time and timing precision in executing direction reversals; (ii) hand-eye coordination and motor control under escalating speed and time pressure; (iii) anticipation and recognition of the deterministic obstacle sequence; (iv) trajectory planning and risk management in selecting when to reverse direction; (v) error avoidance under time pressure, balancing the speed-accuracy tradeoff in real time; and (vi) competitive practice and improvement, with skilled players consistently outperforming novices given identical contest inputs.
Advertising-Supported Services. The App may display interstitial or other advertisements. Ad availability, frequency, and content may vary by platform, region, and advertising provider. Viewing or engaging with an advertisement is not a purchase or wager, does not constitute consideration for Contest entry, and does not affect Contest eligibility or outcomes.
No Wagering; No House-Banked Play. The Services do not involve wagering, betting, or gambling of any kind. The Company does not accept deposits, does not maintain player balances, does not act as a counterparty to any Contest, does not bank any Contest, and has no stake in Contest outcomes. Prizes are funded by the Company as described in the Official Contest Rules and are not funded by player entry fees (there are none).
Changes and Updates. We reserve the right to make changes or updates to, or discontinue, the App, any Contest, prize pools, payout schedules, advertisements, notifications, or features (or any part or content thereof) at any time, with or without prior notice. We may require users to update the App to continue competing if older versions are incompatible, insecure, or unfair. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services.
4. Contests, Prizes, and Taxes
Contests. The Company offers skill-based contests through the App (“Contests”). Each Contest is governed by these Terms and by the Stellar Return Official Contest Rules (the “Contest Rules”), which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Contest Rules with respect to a Contest, the Contest Rules control.
Prizes. The App may display an estimated prize pool, paid places, and payout schedule for the active Contest. All prizes are established and funded by the Company. Prizes and prize schedules may change from Contest to Contest, and the Company reserves the right to cancel any Contest before its start without liability, as further described in the Contest Rules.
Prize Delivery. Eligible prizes are delivered through Tremendous (or a successor reward-delivery provider) to the email address associated with the winning Account. All payouts are subject to final score validation, eligibility review, anti-fraud review, tax and compliance requirements, and successful reward delivery, as further described in the Contest Rules. You bear the risk of maintaining an accurate email address on your Account.
Verification. If you are eligible to receive a prize, we may require that you provide proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation, eligible to participate in accordance with these Terms and the Contest Rules, and that your participation was in accordance therewith. If you do not provide such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, you may forfeit the prize.
Taxes. The Company tracks the aggregate value of prizes awarded to each user. If you are a United States resident and your aggregate prize winnings total two thousand dollars ($2,000) or more in any calendar year (or such other threshold as applicable law may require, see 26 U.S.C. § 6041), we will require that you complete and return an IRS Form W-9 providing your taxpayer identification number so that we may issue you an IRS Form 1099-MISC or other applicable tax information return. If you fail to complete and return the IRS Form W-9 when required, we may suspend your Account and withhold further prize payments until you comply, and we may withhold from any payment any amount required to be withheld under applicable law, including backup withholding under 26 U.S.C. § 3406. You are solely responsible for paying all federal, state, and local taxes on your prizes.
No Transfer. Prizes are not transferable or assignable and may not be exchanged, sold, or substituted, except that the Company reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in its discretion.
Compliance. The Services are not a payment or money transmission mechanism, and you may not use the Services to transfer, launder, or otherwise move funds. The Company may screen prize recipients against applicable sanctions lists maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), may withhold prizes where compliance concerns arise, and may report activity as required by law.
5. Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy describes how we handle the information you provide to us when you use the Services. Our Privacy Policy is expressly integrated into these Terms as if fully restated herein. We encourage you to review our Privacy Policy carefully to gain a thorough understanding of our data practices and your rights as a user.

You acknowledge and agree that you and the Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury.
Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (the “AAA Rules”).

Official Contest Rules
NO PURCHASE OR PAYMENT OF ANY KIND IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE OR PAYMENT WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED BY LAW.
1. Sponsor
Stellar Return contests (each, a “Contest”) are sponsored, operated, and administered by Treasure Valley Forge, LLC, an Idaho limited liability company with a mailing address of 784 S. Clearwater Loop STE B, Post Falls, ID, 83854, USA (the “Sponsor”), unless a specific contest announcement states otherwise. Apple Inc. is not a sponsor of, involved in, or responsible for Stellar Return Contests, prizes, reward delivery, rules, or winner selection.
2. Binding Agreement
By entering any Contest, you agree to these Official Contest Rules (these “Rules”), the Stellar Return Terms of Use, and the Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, and you agree to be bound by the decisions of the Sponsor, which are final and binding in all matters relating to each Contest, subject to applicable law.
3. Eligibility
Each Contest is open only to natural persons who, at the time of entry: (a) are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence, if higher); (b) are legal residents of, and physically located in, the United States in a jurisdiction where participation is not prohibited by applicable law; (c) maintain a registered Stellar Return account with a verified email address and valid screen name; and (d) have accepted these Rules. The Sponsor may add or remove restricted jurisdictions at any time based on changes in applicable law.
Employees, officers, members, managers, and contractors of the Sponsor, and members of their immediate families or households, are not eligible to win prizes. Only one account is permitted per person; entries submitted through multiple or duplicate accounts will be disqualified. Prize eligibility may require identity, age, residency, tax, payment, and anti-fraud review. Contests are void where prohibited or restricted by law.
4. Contest Period
Each Contest is based on the active contest shown in the App. Daily Contests are intended to rotate at approximately midnight Mountain Time, but timing may vary due to maintenance, outages, or technical issues. The contest clock displayed in the App controls in the event of any discrepancy.
5. How to Enter and Play
Entry is free through the App. To enter the active Contest, create or sign in to your account, verify your email address, select a screen name, accept these Rules, and play the game during the Contest Period. In each run, the player taps to reverse direction and attempts to survive as long as possible without colliding with a planet. Your best validated survival time for the active Contest is submitted to that Contest’s leaderboard. You may play an unlimited number of runs during a Contest Period unless otherwise stated in the App. Viewing or engaging with an advertisement is not a purchase, is not consideration for entry, and does not affect eligibility or outcomes.
6. Skill-Based Contest; Shared Daily Seed
Each Contest is a contest of skill, not a game of chance. Each Contest uses a shared game seed so that eligible players competing in the same Contest receive the same deterministic obstacle sequence, subject to device, display, platform, and technical differences. Because the pseudorandom seed operates identically as to all participants in a given Contest, it does not materially or predominantly determine outcomes. Leaderboard placement is determined by each player’s relative skill, including: (i) reaction time and timing precision in executing direction reversals; (ii) hand-eye coordination and motor control under escalating speed and time pressure; (iii) anticipation and recognition of the deterministic obstacle sequence; (iv) trajectory planning and risk management in selecting when to reverse direction; (v) error avoidance under time pressure; and (vi) competitive practice and improvement, with skilled players consistently outperforming novices given identical contest inputs.
7. Winner Determination; Leaderboard; Ties
The leaderboard for each Contest ranks players by best validated survival time. All scores are subject to server-side validation, anti-cheat review, and eligibility review before any prize is awarded. If two or more players have the same validated survival time, the tied score submitted first ranks higher. If a technical ambiguity remains, the Sponsor may resolve placement using validation data or another fair and equitable method determined by the Sponsor.
8. Prizes
The App displays the prize pool, paid places, and payout schedule for the active Contest before and during the Contest Period. All prizes are established and funded by the Sponsor; prizes are not funded by entry fees (there are none), and the prize schedule is not based on the number of entrants. The approximate retail value of each prize is the cash amount displayed in the App. Prizes are not transferable or assignable and may not be exchanged or substituted, except that the Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value in its discretion.
Prize Delivery. Eligible prizes are delivered through Tremendous (or a successor reward-delivery provider) to the email address associated with the winning account, generally within thirty (30) days following the close of the applicable Contest and completion of all validation, eligibility, anti-fraud, tax, and compliance review. Winners may be required to complete redemption steps specified by the reward-delivery provider. Prizes that remain unclaimed or undeliverable sixty (60) days after the first delivery attempt may be forfeited. The Sponsor is not responsible for incorrect or outdated account email addresses.
9. Verification and Taxes
Potential winners may be required to verify eligibility, identity, age, residency, and location before any prize is awarded, and the Sponsor may withhold any prize pending such verification. The Sponsor tracks the aggregate value of prizes awarded to each participant. If a participant’s aggregate prize winnings total two thousand dollars ($2,000) or more in any calendar year (or such other threshold as applicable law may require, see 26 U.S.C. § 6041), the participant must complete and return an IRS Form W-9 before further prizes will be paid, and the Sponsor will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC or other applicable tax information return. Failure to provide a completed Form W-9 when required may result in suspension of the participant’s account and the withholding of prizes until compliance, and the Sponsor may withhold from any payment any amount required to be withheld under applicable law, including backup withholding under 26 U.S.C. § 3406. All federal, state, and local taxes on prizes are the sole responsibility of the winner.
10. Disqualification
Scores, accounts, and prizes may be delayed, reviewed, adjusted, removed, withheld, or disqualified for: cheating; use of bots, scripts, automation, or artificial intelligence to play; tampering with the App, client or network requests, or device or network behavior; exploiting bugs; submitting false, altered, or fraudulent scores or data; providing false information; ineligible participation, including participation from a restricted jurisdiction or through location masking; duplicate, multiple, or suspicious accounts; collusion; abusive behavior; or any other violation of these Rules or the Terms of Use. The Sponsor’s determinations regarding disqualification are final.
11. Technical Problems; Cancellation
If technical failures, outages, fraud, errors, or other issues affect the integrity, fairness, or proper administration of a Contest, the Sponsor may pause, extend, cancel, rerun, modify, or resolve the Contest in a manner it believes is fair and lawful. The Sponsor reserves the right to cancel any Contest for any reason before its start without liability to any person. The Sponsor is not responsible for lost, late, garbled, or misdirected entries or score submissions; device, network, or platform failures; or errors of any kind, whether human, mechanical, or electronic.
12. Publicity
By participating, you acknowledge that your screen name, scores, leaderboard rank, and eligible payout may be displayed within the App and on Contest leaderboards without additional compensation. The Sponsor will not use your legal name, photograph, or likeness for publicity or promotional purposes without your separate consent, except as required or permitted by law.
13. Release; Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, by participating in any Contest, you release and hold harmless the Sponsor and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, and service providers (including reward-delivery and platform providers) from and against any claim or cause of action arising out of participation in a Contest or the receipt, use, or misuse of any prize. The limitations of liability set forth in the Terms of Use apply to these Rules and to each Contest.
14. Disputes; Governing Law
Except where prohibited, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Rules or any Contest are subject to the dispute resolution provisions of the Stellar Return Terms of Use, including the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in Section 10 thereof. These Rules are governed by the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
15. Contact
