Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) carefully because they govern your use of the website located at https://www.castaways.com (the “Site”) and corresponding mobile application (“App”) offered by Branch Technologies, Inc. (“Branch”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services and App are collectively called the “Services.”

WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND BRANCH THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 20 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF A JURISDICTION WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES, THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IN SECTION 20 WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU BUT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 19 (GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM CHOICE) WILL APPLY INSTEAD.

1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services.  

2. Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your use of the Services, for information on how we collect, use and share your information.

3. Changes to these Terms or the Services. We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated Terms on the Site, to the App and/or may also send other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

4. Who May Use the Services? You may use the Services only if you are at least 13 years of age (or such other minimum age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your territory), and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law. If you are over 13 years of age but under the age of majority in your respective jurisdiction, you hereby represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has read these Terms, and accepts them on your behalf. Parents and legal guardians are responsible for the acts of their minor children when using the Services, whether or not the parent or guardian has authorized such acts.

5. Feedback. We appreciate feedback, comments, ideas, proposals and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). If you choose to submit Feedback, you agree that we are free to use it without any restriction or compensation to you.  

6. Accounts.  

1. Creating an Account. To access some elements of the Services, you need to create an account (“Account”). You agree to provide Branch with accurate Account information and keep such information updated. Branch may take steps to ensure that Account information provided by you is accurate. You may not allow anyone else to use your Account (except for your parent or legal guardian if you are over 13 years of age but under the age of majority in your respective jurisdiction).  

2. Suspension or Termination of your Account. Branch may suspend or terminate your Account or access to the Services at any time as required by applicable law, any governmental authority, or if Branch in its sole and reasonable discretion determines that you are violating these Terms or the terms of any third-party service provider. Such suspension of termination shall not constitute a breach of these Terms by Branch.  

7. One-Time Payments and Subscriptions. Branch requires payment of fees for use of certain portions of the Services and you agree to purchase a subscription (“Subscription”) or pay a one-time payment (“One-Time Payment”) for use of such portions of the Services as applicable. You must be 18 years old or the age of majority in your respective jurisdiction to purchase a Subscription or One-Time Payment.

1. General. Whether you make a One-Time Payment or purchase a Subscription (each, a “Transaction”), you expressly authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge you for such Transaction. We may ask you to supply additional information relevant to your Transaction, including your credit card number, the expiration date of your credit card and your email and postal addresses for billing and notification (such information, “Payment Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Payment Information. When you initiate a Transaction, you authorize us to provide your Payment Information to third parties so we can complete your Transaction and to charge your payment method for the type of Transaction you have selected (plus any applicable taxes and other charges). You may need to provide additional information to verify your identity before completing your Transaction (such information is included within the definition of Payment Information). By initiating a Transaction, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, as posted or otherwise communicated to you. All payments for Transactions are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in these Terms. All fees and applicable taxes, if any, are payable in United States dollars.  

2. Subscriptions. If you purchase a Subscription, you will be charged the monthly Subscription fee, plus any applicable taxes, and other charges (“Subscription Fee”), for the applicable Subscription tier at the beginning of your Subscription and each month thereafter, at the then-current Subscription Fee. BY PURCHASING A SUBSCRIPTION, YOU AUTHORIZE BRANCH TO INITIATE RECURRING NON-REFUNDABLE PAYMENTS AS SET FORTH BELOW. If you purchase a Subscription, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically charge you on a monthly basis using the Payment Information you have provided until you cancel your Subscription. No less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days before your Subscription term ends, or otherwise in accordance with applicable law, Branch will send you a reminder with the then-current Subscription Fee. By agreeing to these Terms and electing to purchase a Subscription, you acknowledge that your Subscription has recurring payment features and you accept responsibility for all recurring payment obligations prior to cancellation of your Subscription by you or Branch. Your Subscription continues until cancelled by you or we terminate your access to or use of the Services or Subscription in accordance with these Terms.

3. Cancellation of Subscriptions. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY PORTION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE PAID FOR THE THEN CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE TIME OF CANCELLATION. Mobile users can cancel Subscriptions through the Apple or Google subscription manager tool. You will be responsible for all Subscription Fees (plus any applicable taxes and other charges) incurred for the then-current Subscription period. If you cancel, your right to use the Services will continue until the end of your then current Subscription period and will then terminate without further charges.

4. No Refunds or Chargebacks. All purchases made through the Services, including without limitation any Transactions, are final. No refunds, exchanges, or returns will be provided to you. You further understand and agree that Branch will not, under any circumstances, offer any chargebacks to your form of Payment Information for any reason whatsoever related to the Services.

8. Dabloons.

1. Generally. Dabloons is the official currency of the Services and can be used by you to acquire digital content such as in-game inventory items, collectables, digital items for avatars and other virtual items (collectively, “Digital Items”) through the Services. Dabloons do not have any value in real currency. Except as expressly outlined in these Terms, Dabloons cannot be redeemed for other currency and Branch is not obligated to exchange your Dabloons for anything else of value.

2. License to Use Dabloons. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Branch grants you a limited, non-refundable, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use Dabloons only for your personal entertainment in connection with the Services.

4. Dabloons are Non-Refundable. All payments for Dabloons are final and not refundable as permitted by applicable law. Any use or attempted use of Dabloons in violation of these Terms will be void and may result in immediate termination of your right to use the Services. Branch does not recognize or take responsibility for third-party services that allow you to sell, transfer or otherwise use Dabloons and any such use by you constitutes a violation of these Terms.

9. The Castaways Marketplace.

1. Acquiring Digital Items through the Services. You can spend Dabloons to acquire Digital Items and other content offered by Branch through the Services. Spending Dabloons through the Services is solely for your personal entertainment and does not create any legally enforceable contract between you and Branch or other users of the Services.

2. Removal of Digital Items from the Services. Branch has the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend the availability of, or remove from the Services, any content (including but not limited to Digital Items) without advance notice to you. In no event will Branch be liable to you for any losses you may suffer as a result of such suspension or removal, and Branch is not required to refund any Dabloons or other funds that you have spend on any removed or suspended content.

3. Trading on the Services.  Branch allows users to trade Digital Items through the Services. Digital Items can be traded for other Digital Items, or for a combination of Dabloons and Digital Items. When users engage in a trade through the Services using Dabloons, Branch and/or certain users of the Services may be entitled to a fee equal to a percentage of the total amount of Dabloons exchanged in the transaction as determined by Branch from time to time in its sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that Branch is not a party to any agreement between purchasers and sellers of Digital Items or between any users of the Services. Accordingly, Branch will have no liability to you or any third party or any claims or damages that may arise as a result of transactions that you engage in via the Services.

3. THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN BRANCH AND YOU.

19. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 20 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Branch are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Washington, and you and Branch each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

20. Dispute Resolution.  

1. Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Branch agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Branch are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.  

2. Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 20(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.  

3. Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.  

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

4. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

5. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 20(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.

6. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND BRANCH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

7. Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 20(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

21. General Terms.

1. Reservation of Rights. Branch and its licensors exclusively own all right, title and interest in and to the Services, including all associated intellectual property rights. You acknowledge that the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries.

2. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Branch and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Branch and you regarding the Services.

Except where provided by applicable law in your jurisdiction, you may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Branch’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms absent our consent or your statutory right, without such consent, will be null. Branch may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

3. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Branch under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

4. Waiver of Rights. Branch’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Branch. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
