WSS also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change and/or suspend/terminate offensive usernames.
4. COMPETITIONS/GAMES
4.1 SKILLED GAMING FOR PRIZES
Each User acknowledges that the outcome of the challenges and tournaments offered on the Site are directly related to the number of Users participating, and the skill levels of each User participating. WSS does not comment or have a knowledge of the probability of one User winning a challenge vs. another User, and makes no representations about an individual User’s chances of winning.
Prizes are generally cash amounts, which are paid to you through electronic third party payment processors. The prizes offered in all tournaments will be disclosed at the beginning of such tournaments. If a tournament has to close prematurely, such as for maintenance or technical problems, the Site may attempt to reschedule, or process refunds if applicable.
4.2 DETERMINATION OF WINNERS
The results and winners of each tournament offered on the Site will be determined by WSS, and such determinations are final. By signing up, joining and/or participating in any tournament, you agree to be bound by these determinations.
4.3 GAMEPLAY
By visiting the Site, you will be able to view the games available for entry (“Competitions”). While some Competition may be free to enter, certain Competitions on the Site or App will require an entry fee. It is your responsibility to know and understand the rules and required entry fees for any given Competition.
WSS Competitions consist of tournaments, ladders, championships and other competitions more fully explained in our Competitive Rules Guideline and within the directions of each Competition. WSS offers two categories of Competitions – Free Competitions and Paid Entry Competitions.
* Free Competitions – Free Competitions are totally free. Users in free Competitions will pay nothing. Occasionally, cash prizes may be offered for winners of our Free Competitions.
* Paid Entry Competitions – Paid Entry Competitions are our most popular format. In Paid Entry Competition the User pays as play. That means WSS collects a fee from each User, which allows them access to join certain Competitions.
Please note that you must meet all eligibility requirements and otherwise comply with any other applicable rules to be eligible to win a prize. In particular, due to restrictions in certain jurisdictions’ laws, residents of the Prohibited Jurisdictions are not eligible to participate in our Paid Entry Competitions.
5. DEPOSITS, FEES, PRIZES, WITHDRAWALS AND OTHER FINANCES
5.1 DEPOSITS
All Paid Entry Competitions have an entry fee. The entry fee may vary from Competition to Competition. To participate in a Paid Entry Competition you must deposit credits (“Credits”) to your Account or pay an event fee directly with your payment instrument (e.g. credit/debit card, other) (“Payment Instrument”). Also, WSS has the right to award the Credits to you for promotional purposes.
WSS has the right to set minimum limit for deposit Credits (e.g. EUR 5, other). No interest is payable on the Credits. All payments must be made via Stripe (“Payment Processor”) using the Payment Instrument that is issued under your or a Payment Instrument holder name (if applicable).
You agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as by terms and conditions of use of each applicable Payment Processor, and in the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Payment Processor’s terms and conditions, then these Terms shall prevail.
WSS reserves the right to require you to confirm or validate any or all deposits previously made to your Account. You acknowledge that in the case of any dispute, your validation may be used by WSS as evidence.
Any attempt to defraud the WSS through the use of payment cards or other methods of payment, regardless of the outcome, or any failure by you to honour legitimate charges or requests for payment, or confirmation of deposits, will result in immediate termination of your Account, forfeiture of any prizes, and active pursuit of civil litigation and/or referral for criminal prosecution.
5.2 FEES, PRIZES
When you choose to enter Paid Entry Competition and complete the entry process, the requisite entry fee will be debited from your Account. All payments are final and no refunds will be issued.
When the Users participate in a Paid Entry Competition, part of entry fees for Paid Entry Competition represents a “Platform Fee” to WSS, made solely for facilities provided by the Site for the setting up and management of all Paid Entry Competitions. Another part of entry fees is reserved for the prizes.
By participating in a Paid Entry Competition and paying fees to WSS, each member acknowledges that these funds are held by WSS for such Services and that the member grants an irrevocable authority to WSS to pay the winner of the Paid Entry Competition the prize associated with such Paid Entry Competition.
Members should also be aware that the total entry fees paid by members in any given Paid Entry Competition are not paid out as prizes, as WSS retains part of the entry fees paid as a service fee on all Paid Entry Competition played. This fee allows for the continued operation and maintenance of the Site and the development of additional features and content for the Site in the future. The cash prizes in each tournament represent an amount determined by: (i) WSS in its absolute discretion and is subject to change without further notice to you or (ii) by users themselves in certain cases (e.g. in community events).
Additional fees for Content may apply. Content fees are for the right to use the Content as part of the WSS as described in these Terms and are not for payment of a separate offering or service.
5.3 PRIZE PAYMENTS AND WITHDRAWALS
Your winnings are awarded to you in their entirety, and all federal, provincial, state and local taxes due in connection with any winnings awarded to you are your sole liability and responsibility.
You may request a withdrawal of available Credits from your Account at any time. Withdrawal privileges may be revoked for security purposes when fraud is suspected.
Usually, WSS establishes the minimum withdrawal allowed (e.g. EUR 5, other). Withdrawals may be subject to a transaction and administration fee amounting to a per cent of the withdrawn amount (as set by the Payment Processor). In such cases, WSS reserves the right to compensate itself for that fee by automatically deducting it from the withdrawn Credits. Withdrawal period depends on several factors such as the industry and country you’re operating in, and the risks involved. Generally, it takes from 2 to 30 days. Also, you should keep in mind that after the first deposit to WSS, you will not be able to withdraw your prizes 7–14 days. The first withdrawal usually takes a little longer in order to establish the Payment Instrument account. Processing subsequent withdrawals then happen according to the Payment Processor pay-out schedule.
You may be required to provide proper identification and proof of eligibility prior to any request of withdrawal. To prevent fraudulent behaviour and account hijacking, WSS or Payment Processor reserves the right to require you or the credit card holder (if applicable) to submit verification of identification to ascertain the validity of a withdrawal request and your identity. Withdrawal payments will not be made until such verification is received.
5.4 CURRENCY
You hereby acknowledge and agree that:
- all references to euros or “€” on the Site are references to the European Union Euros (“EUR”), and all transactions (entry fees, refunds and prizes) will be denominated in EUR unless otherwise expressly stated;
- as a result, if you make a payment to, or you receive a payment from us in connection with your use of the Site, a currency conversion may apply;
- for the purpose of allowing you to make a payment to or receive a payment from us, all currency conversions shall be executed by an exchange rate offered by your financial institution; and
- in every case, it is your responsibility to monitor and accept the exchange rate(s) offered and service charge(s) by your financial institution before proceeding with any transaction with the Site involving an exchange of currency.
IN EVERY CASE, AND WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 9, WSS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO ANY CURRENCY CONVERSION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SITE, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY POSTED OR ACTUAL RATES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WITH RESPECT TO AUTHENTICITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, ERRORS, OMISSION, TYPOGRAPHIC ERRORS, DISRUPTION, DELAY, INTERRUPTION, FAILURE, DELETION, OR DEFECT IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH RATES, AND FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES DUE TO CHANGES IN EXCHANGE RATES WHICH MAY OCCUR.

You may cancel or adjust your Subscription at the “My subscription” section in the Account. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if you terminate or breach these Terms, you will forfeit your right to all payments you may have made for pre-purchased access to the Services and any Content.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree and acknowledge that you are not entitled to any refund for any amounts which were pre-paid to your Account before any termination of the Subscription. By accessing the Services, you acknowledge that, although under certain circumstances, users located in the European Union may have a right to cancel Subscription within 14 days of signing up for, however, PERFORMANCE OF THIS TERMS HAS BEGUN UPON STARTING A PAID ENTRY COMPETITION AND YOU THEREBY LOSE YOUR RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING APPLICABLE EUROPEAN UNION LAW, IN RESPECT OF THE PURCHASE OF ANY DIGITAL CONTENT HEREUNDER, AND YOU THEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A REFUND OF ANY AMOUNTS WHICH WERE PRE-PAID ON BEHALF OF YOUR ACCOUNT PRIOR TO ANY TERMINATION OF SUBSCRIPTION. However, if you voluntarily cancel your Subscription, the termination will not occur until the end of the subscription period for which you have paid, and you will be able to continue using the Site until such time.
You are required to keep your billing information current, complete and accurate (for example, if you move, be sure to update your billing address, if you get a new credit/debit card, make sure you update the card number and/or expiration date) and notify WSS if your selected payment method is cancelled (e.g., for loss or theft).
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to any Subscription that is a part of the Services without notice upon rejection of any charges or if your Payment Instrument seeks return of payments previously made to us when we believe you are liable for the charges.
Although, it was mentioned above we repeat one more time that you may choose not to renew your Subscription at any time by selecting the “Not automatically renew” option in your Account. Your cancellation is effective at the end of the current Subscription term.
