PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING BLITZ: DRAFT™ AS THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION RIGHTS AS DETAILED IN SECTION 27 OF THESE TERMS. ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND ONLY FOR YOUR OWN LOSSES.

The following Terms of Service (“Terms”) set forth the terms and conditions of the agreement between you, an individual user (“You”), and Empyr Sports Inc., a Delaware Corporation that operates Blitz: Draft™ (“Blitz: Draft™”) in conjunction with Empyr Sports Inc.’s offering of fantasy sports contests (“the Service”) through our website or app (collectively, the “Site”), and these Terms govern your rights and responsibilities with respect to your use of the Site and Service.
Blitz: Draft™ will provide you with access to interactive fantasy sports contests (each a “Contest”), in which you must select players through the use of your skill and knowledge of professional sports. For all Contests, winners are determined by Blitz: Draft™ based on the ability to predict the performance of athletes over the course of multiple, real-world sporting events that take place over the course of a given real-world game or games. Blitz: Draft™ shall have the sole discretion of determining its game and Contest rules (the “Rules”) and selecting winners of these Contests. Further, Blitz: Draft™ shall be the sole arbiter of disputes over who wins each Contest. Contest and related Rules are available to users of our app.
By accessing the Site and / or using any part of the Site or Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

By use of the Site and / or Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understand these terms, represent that you are of legal age to enter into a binding agreement, and accept these terms and agree that you are legally bound by these Terms and the Blitz: Draft™ Privacy Policy.
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any other terms and conditions incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Blitz: Draft™ with respect to the Site and Service, and these Terms supersede any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and Blitz: Draft™. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provisions. The failure of Blitz: Draft™ to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Except for Section 27 providing for binding arbitration and waiver of class action rights, Blitz: Draft™ reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace the existing Terms at any time. Should any change in Terms occur, we will notify you to the email associated with your account if you have an account with us.

Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:

Should you have any concerns or complaints related to our Site of Service or otherwise need consumer support, you are free to reach out to us at Team@BlitzDraftFantasy.com.
Both you and Blitz: Draft™ agree to use best efforts to settle any concerns or complaints related to our Site or Service internally through our customer service process and internal dispute resolution procedure (“Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure”) before the filing of any kind of formal legal proceeding against the other related to our Site or Service. In addition, both you and Blitz: Draft™ agree that it is a prerequisite to initiating any lawsuit or arbitration against the other related to our Site or Service to first engage in good faith negotiations under our two-step Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure that appears below.
Our two-step Internal Dispute Resolution Procedure works as follows:
Both you and Blitz: Draft™ shall use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement related to our Site and/or Service and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to filing a formal claim in any court or through any arbitration process as provided in these Terms. However, if the parties acting in good faith still have not reached an agreed upon solution within thirty (30) days from the telephonic conference or within sixty (60) days of the other parties receipt of an email articulating the full substance of the complaint, or any such other time period as may be required by law, whichever is later, then either party may initiate a binding arbitration, to the extent permitted by law, as the sole means to resolve the complaint as explained in Section 27 of the Terms, which appear immediately below. The parties agree that any relevant statute of limitations period and other such deadlines will be tolled by the amount of time that the parties initiate and engage in this informal dispute resolution process.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT:
Any controversy or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the Terms of Service, with the exception of those controversies or claims specifically excluded in the following paragraph, shall be settled by binding arbitration with a single arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in connection with AAA rules. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held within a fifty-mile radius of New York, NY. ARBITRATION MEANS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEEK DAMAGES IN COURT OR PRESENT YOUR CASE TO A JURY.
You and Blitz: Draft™ agree that the following types of disputes are not subject to this binding arbitration provision: (1) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of either any of your intellectual property rights or Blitz: Draft™ ’s intellectual property rights; (2) any claim for injunctive relief; and (3) any type of dispute that is not eligible for arbitration based upon the application law of New York as governs these Terms.
The Commercial Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org (at time of publication of these Terms, the most recent version are directly accessible here: 2025_CommercialRules_Web.pdf) or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
In addition, you and Blitz: Draft™ agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in the individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND BLITZ: DRAFT™ 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.
