5.6

SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS. User may not attempt to modify, decompile, reverse-engineer or disassemble the Software in any way.

5.7

If we mistakenly credit your gaming account with winnings that do not belong to you, whether this is due to a technical or human error or otherwise, you are obliged to notify us immediately by emailing Support. We reserve the right to void any transactions placed using incorrectly/mistakenly credited funds, including related winnings paid out in error, without prejudice to other remedies and actions that may be available to us at law.

You may not abuse or take advantage of any error or instance of incompleteness on any of the Sites or in any of the RM Games provided by us (via any of the Sites).

If you do not comply with this Clause and take advantage of or divulge any information about an error or incompleteness, we will be entitled to pursue any remedies available at law.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The terms "REEL Italy", the domain names "pokerstars.it", "pokerstarscasino.it" and "pokerstarsmobile.it" and any other trade marks, service marks, signs, trade names and/or domain names used by the Flutter Group on the Site and/or the Software from time to time (the "Trade Marks"), are the trade marks, service marks, signs, trade names and/or domain names of the Flutter Group and/or its licensors, and these entities reserve all rights to such Trade Marks. In addition, all content on the Site, including, but not limited to, the Software, images, pictures, graphics, photographs, animations, videos, music, audio and text (the "Site Content") belongs to the Flutter Group and/or its licensors and is protected by copyright and/or other intellectual property or other rights. You hereby acknowledge that by using the Service and the Site you obtain no rights in the Site Content and/or the Trade Marks, or any part thereof. Under no circumstances may you use the Site Content and/or the Trade Marks without REEL Italy prior written consent.

Additionally, you agree not to do anything that will harm or potentially harm the rights, including the intellectual property rights, held by the Flutter Group and/or its licensors in the Software, the Trade Marks or the Site Content nor will you do anything that damages the image or reputation of REEL Italy, the Flutter Group generally and all our and its employees, directors, officers and consultants.

1.6

You warrant that any names or images used by you in connection with the Sites or Services (for example, your user name and avatar) shall not infringe the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of any third party. You hereby grant us for the benefit of the Flutter Group a worldwide, irrevocable, transferable, royalty free, sublicensable license to use such names and images for any purpose connected with the Sites or Service, subject to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

1.7

Virtual Items

The PM Games may include virtual chips and/or other virtual items for use in the PM Games (together the "Virtual Items"). You hereby acknowledge and agree that you have no right or title in Virtual Items appearing or originating in any PM Game, or any other attributes associated within an account or stored on the Service. Any "virtual currency" or similar virtual balance shown in your User account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license to use the relevant Virtual Items in-game.

1.8

Virtual Items are for in-game use only. You may not sublicense, trade, sell, or transfer Virtual Items for value of any kind outside of a PM Game (or attempt to do any of these things). Any such action or attempted action is prohibited and void and may subject your account to termination by REEL Italy. In addition, you acknowledge that REEL Italy may commence legal action against you for any harm done by such transfer or attempted transfer of Virtual Chips outside of the Service.

2. NO WARRANTIES
2.1

Within the limits provided by the law and save for consumers' statutory rights, REEL Italy disclaims any and all warranties, expressed or implied, in connection with the Service which is provided to you "AS IS" and we provide you with no warranty or representation whatsoever regarding its quality, fitness for purpose, completeness or accuracy.

2.2

Regardless of our efforts to provide you with service of the highest quality, safety and security, we make no warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely or error-free, that defects will be corrected or that the Software and the Sites shall be free from viruses, bugs or other contaminants.

2.3

REEL Italy reserves the right to suspend, discontinue, modify, remove or add to the Service in its absolute discretion with immediate effect and without an obligation to provide you with notice where we consider it necessary to do so, including (for example) where we receive information that you have entered into any self-exclusion agreement with any gambling provider or where we deem it necessary for the management, maintenance or update of the Software and we shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any loss suffered as a consequence of any decision made by REEL Italy in this regard, save for what provided by statutory applicable laws.

3. YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Prior to your use of the Service and on an ongoing basis you represent, warrant, covenant and agree that the following with the limits provided by applicable laws and save for what provided by statutory consumers' laws:

3.1

your use of the Service is at your sole option, discretion and risk;

3.2

in compliance with our regulatory requirements and in order for you to access and use our Software and/or our Service through any of our websites you will need to provide us with certain personal details about yourself as well as consenting us (or third parties acting on our behalf) to have access to or make use of your location data and/or such other data or information that may be derived from your device/computer, to enable the Software/Service to be made available to you. You hereby consent to us (or third parties acting on our behalf) to access and use such data for the purposes outlined above. You are not permitted to use our software and/or services if you do not wish to be bound by this provision. REEL Italy will process your personal details in compliance with the applicable data protection laws and regulations, all in accordance with and as set out in our Privacy Policy;

3.3

the telecommunications networks and Internet access services required for you to access and use the Service are entirely beyond the control of REEL Italy and REEL Italy shall have no liability whatsoever for any outages, slowness, capacity constraints or other deficiencies affecting the same;

3.4

you are prohibited from using the Service in any way to create, receive or facilitate the transfer or receipt of any financial gain or other pecuniary advantage to you or any third party (whether or not acting on your behalf). Virtual Items have no value in and of themselves and are not transferable and exchangeable within a User account. Further, such Virtual Items are not redeemable for any 'real' currency or prize. Thus, you are prohibited from sublicensing, renting, leasing, selling, trading, gifting, bequeathing or otherwise transferring your User account or any Virtual Items associated with your User account to a third person;

3.5

you are aged 18 or over and that you are not currently self-excluded from any online or mobile gambling site and that you will inform us immediately if you enter into a self-exclusion agreement with any gambling provider;

3.6

you have provided true and accurate information concerning your physical address and identity, including nationality and undertake to promptly notify REEL Italy of any changes;

3.7

you are not currently on any list of persons that would prohibit REEL Italy from engaging in business or other dealings, or otherwise offering the Service to you;

3.8

you are not prohibited due to your geographic location or otherwise from receiving funds from REEL Italy; and

3.9

if you are identified as such a person as detailed in Clause 3.7 or 3.8, REEL Italy may immediately terminate your account and all access to any of the Service. 

4. PROHIBITED USES
4.1

SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS. User may not attempt to modify, decompile, reverse-engineer or disassemble the Software in any way.

4.2

PERSONAL USE. The Service is intended solely for the User's personal use and entertainment and not for money and must not in any way be used to create any financial gain or other pecuniary advantage to you. The User must provide full and truthful information in respect of all details and information provided by the User to REEL Italy and the User is obligated to update such details in the event of any change thereto. REEL is hereby held harmless from all liability related to any damages suffered by you and/or by third parties as a result of third-party use of the account, or the fraudulent use of the account.

4.3

COLLUSION. Collusion between Users by sharing hole cards or by any other methods is strictly forbidden. REEL Italy reserves the right, in addition to other measures, to restrict seating and/or to prohibit Users from playing at a particular poker table or in a tournament, including restricting two or more Users from playing together at the same table or in the same tournament. In addition, any collusion or attempt at collusion between players (including Users) will be considered as a material breach of this Agreement and accordingly REEL Italy shall have the right to terminate a User's account if a User engages or attempts to engage in any such activity, regardless of the outcome of such attempt.

4.4

EXTERNAL PLAYER ASSISTANCE TOOLS. REEL Italy prohibits external player assistance tools ("EPA Tools") that are designed to provide an "unfair advantage" to players. REEL Italy defines EPA Tools as computer software (other than the Software), and non-software-based systems (e.g. web sites, subscription services and physical material). REEL Italy takes a broad view of what constitutes an "unfair advantage" in the context of any use of EPA Tools and specific guidance can be found in our Third Party Tools and Services FAQ. For the avoidance of doubt, what is prohibited encompasses but is not limited to accessing or compiling information on other players beyond that which the User has personally observed through the User's own game play or receiving advice, direction or assistance on how to play, in real time that goes beyond a basic level.

4.5

AUTOMATIC PLAYERS (BOTS). The use of artificial intelligence including, without limitation, "robots" is strictly forbidden in connection with the Service. All actions taken in relation to the Service by a User must be executed personally by players through the user interface accessible by use of the Software, and without the assistance of any form of artificial intelligence.

4.6

You agree that REEL Italy may take steps to detect and prevent the use of prohibited EPA Tools. These steps may include, but are not limited to, examination of software programs running concurrently with the REEL Italy Software on the User's computer. You agree that you will not attempt to bypass, interfere with, or block such steps, including, without limitation, the use of third party software that bypasses, interferes with, or blocks such steps.

4.7

CHIP-DUMPING. Chip-dumping occurs when any User intentionally loses a poker hand in order to deliberately transfer his chips to another User. Any User who participates or attempts to participate in chip-dumping with any other User, while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service and their User account may be terminated immediately. In such circumstances REEL Italy will be under no obligation to return or credit to you any chips that may be in your User account at such time.

4.8

FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR. In the event that REEL Italy deems that a User has engaged or attempted to engage in fraudulent, unlawful, dishonest or improper activity while using either the Service or any of the other services, products or facilities of the wider Flutter Group, including without limitation, engaging in any of the activities set forth in this Clause 4 or any other game manipulation, REEL Italy shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including, but not limited to:

  1. immediately blocking a User's access to the Service;
  2. notifying other companies within the Flutter Group;
  3. terminating a User's account with REEL Italy;
  4. removing all Virtual Items within a User's account; and/or
  5. taking legal action against a User.
5. OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE OR CONTENT

The User is prohibited from posting any unlawful, indecent, racist, obscene, libelous, defamatory or threatening material or any material that would violate any law or generally be considered to be offensive, via the Service whether using the chat function, the player images option or in correspondence with REEL Italy or the Flutter Group staff.

6. BREACH
6.1

Without prejudice to any other rights of REEL Italy, if a User breaches in whole or in part any of Clauses 1 (Grant of License/Intellectual Property), 4 (Prohibited Uses), 5 (Offensive Language and Content), 8 (Security and your Account) and 9 (Third Party Software), REEL Italy will be entitled to suspend or terminate this Agreement or any other agreement in place between the User and any other member of the Flutter Group, immediately blocking the User's access to the Service or to any other service offered by the Flutter Group, terminating such User's account on the Sites or on any other sites operated by the Flutter Group, removing all Virtual Items held in the User's account on the Sites or on any other site operated by the Flutter Group and/or taking legal action against such User.

6.2

You agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless REEL Italy, all other Flutter Group companies and their shareholders, directors and employees from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees and any other charges whatsoever, howsoever caused, that may arise as a result of:

  1. your breach of this Agreement, in whole or in part;
  2. violation by you of any law or any third party rights; and
  3. use by you of the Service or use by any other person accessing the Service using your Login Credentials (as defined below), whether or not with your authorization.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
7.1

Within the limits proscribed by applicable laws and in particular consumer protection laws, under no circumstances, including negligence, shall REEL Italy or any other member of the Flutter Group be liable for any incidental, direct, indirect or consequential damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use (or misuse) of the Service even if REEL Italy or the relevant member of the Flutter Group had prior knowledge of the possibility of such damages.

8.1

Each User account shall be accessible through the use of a combination of a unique username ("Username"), a unique and secret password ("Password"), and other optional numeric authentication methods that the User may select (the Username, Password and any other authentication features together being referred to as the "Login Credentials"). The User is obligated to choose his/her own Username and Password in accordance with the rules relating thereto.

8.2

The User agrees that he/she is solely responsible for all use of the Service under his/her Login Credentials and that he/she shall not disclose the Login Credentials to any person whatsoever nor permit another person to use the Service via his/her User account.

8.3

The User is obliged to keep his/her Login Credentials secret and confidential at all times and to take all efforts to protect their secrecy and confidentiality. Any unauthorized use of the Login Credentials shall be the sole responsibility of the User and be deemed as his/her use. Any liability therefrom shall be that of the User.

8.4

A User may only have one User account with REEL Italy and shall only use the Service using such single account. It is prohibited for a User to open multiple accounts with REEL Italy. In the event that REEL Italy becomes aware of additional accounts opened by a User, REEL Italy may close such additional accounts without notice and may confiscate Virtual Items held in such additional accounts.

8.5

You will not be able to place any bets (with Virtual Items) using the Service in an amount greater than the total amount of Virtual Items in your User account.

8.6

REEL Italy reserves the right to run identity checks on a User, with third party agencies or services, using the information provided to us by a User on registration with the Service. The third party agencies or services may retain a record of the information but they will not use the information for any other purpose.
