By accessing or using the Services, you accept these Terms on behalf of yourself and any entity that you represent, and you represent and warrant that you have the right and authority to do so. You further represent and warrant that are fully able and competent to enter into, and abide by and comply with, the Sequence User Terms. If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Terms, do not access, or use the Services.
By accessing or using the Services, you represent that you are of the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction as may be required to access and use the Sequence Services. If you have not reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction but are at least thirteen (13) years of age, your legal guardian must review these Sequence Terms and explain them to you before you use the Sequence Services. The Websites are a copyrighted work belonging to Horizon Blockchain Games Inc. (“Horizon,” “Company,” “us,” “our,” and “we”). Your submission of information, including personal information, through or in connection with the Services is governed by the terms of our privacy policy as updated from time to time, available at https://horizon.io/privacy (“Privacy Policy”). In order to play Skyweaver or access or use the Services you will be required to first accept the Privacy Policy. You will be prompted to accept the Privacy Policy upon your initial registration of an Account by clicking to accept. You will be prompted to accept updates to the Privacy Policy from time to time when you log in to your Account by clicking to accept the updated Privacy Policy.
When you accept the Privacy Policy, and any updates thereto, you consent to us collecting, accessing, using, processing, disclosing, and retaining any personal information you provide to us so we may provide the Services to you. This consent is not related to, and does not affect, any rights or obligations we or you have in accordance with data protection laws, privacy laws, and regulations.
Some jurisdictions (which may include Quebec, Canada) do not allow mandatory arbitration, prohibitions against class actions or governing law and forums other than where the individual consumer is located. If you are located in one of these jurisdictions, the following sentence may not apply to you and you may have additional rights. These terms require the use of arbitration (Section 13) on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limit the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute.
1. The Platform
Users of the Platform will be able to access online gaming services and interactive games produced by Horizon (“Games”) and including the features available within each Game. To access Games, users of the Platform must sign up for an account (“Account”). Users with an Account (“Account Holder”) will need to provide a username and valid email to Horizon. Within each Game, Account Holders may earn virtual game-specific items or abilities represented by certain ERC-1155 blockchain tokens (“Gaming Tokens”) which are wholly owned, possessed, and controlled by the Account Holder. Account Holders may also purchase Gaming Tokens via a third party marketplace accessible within each Game.
1.1 Limited License Agreement
Horizon owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to use all of the content that appears in the Platform and on our Websites, including original artwork that appears within the Games (“Artwork”). Gaming Tokens do not grant any ownership rights over any Artwork or any of Horizon's other intellectual property. Each user acknowledges the rights attached to each Gaming Token do not exceed the grant of rights provided by these Terms.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, you agree that you have no right to or title in any content that appears in the Platform, including without limitation the Artwork, or any other attributes associated with an Account.
Subject to these Terms, Horizon grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to use and access the Platform for your own personal and non-commercial use. Horizon reserves all rights, including without limitation, all intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights, in connection with the Games, the Platform and the Websites. Users may display, copy or make use of any of the Artwork for commercial use only with the prior written consent of Horizon. For the avoidance of doubt, Users can play Skyweaver outside of the Platform using their Gaming Tokens in digital or printed format.
1.2 Platform Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the use of the Platform:
Horizon reserves the right to determine, except where prohibited by applicable law, what conduct it considers to be in violation of these restrictions. Horizon reserves the right to take action as a result, which may include terminating your Account and prohibiting you from accessing the Platform in whole or in part.
1.3 Account Deletion
Horizon may delete your Account in accordance with Section 7 if we deem, except where prohibited by applicable law, in our sole discretion, your username or avatar to be offensive or inappropriate. You may permanently delete your Account on the Platform by clicking on “Profile Settings” in the Platform and choosing the option to delete. Deletion of your Account does not have any effect on your ownership of Blockchain Assets (defined below), which includes Gaming Tokens.
1.4 Use of Chat Rooms
Horizon shall have the right to monitor and/or record your communications when you use the Platform, and you acknowledge and agree that when you use the Platform, you have no expectation that your communications will be private. Horizon shall have the right to disclose your communications for any reason, including: (a) to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (b) to enforce these Terms or Privacy Policy; (c) to protect Horizon's legal rights and remedies; (d) to protect the health or safety of anyone that Horizon believes may be threatened; or (e) to report a crime or other offensive behavior.
1.5 User Interactions
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Platform and any other parties with whom you interact through the Platform. Horizon reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes. You will fully cooperate with Horizon to investigate any suspected unlawful, fraudulent or improper activity.
1.6 Gaming Tokens, Fees and Billing
Gaming Tokens, fees, and billing procedures may change over time. The existence of a particular offer for Gaming Tokens does not mean Horizon will maintain or continue to make available that particular Gaming Token or that particular offer. The scope, variety, and type of Gaming Tokens that you may obtain can change at any time and Horizon has the right to manage, regulate, control, modify, or remove any or all Gaming Tokens in our sole discretion, in which case, unless prohibited by applicable law, we will have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights. If any such change is unacceptable to you, your sole recourse is to terminate your account. Unless prohibited by applicable law, which may include the laws of Quebec, Canada, in which case we will effect such changes in accordance with such laws, your continued use of the Websites or Skyweaver after notice of the changes will indicate your acceptance of those changes. The price of Gaming Tokens on secondary markets may vary depending on a variety of factors including where or how you obtain them. The price and availability of Gaming Tokens on secondary markets may change without notice.
2. Wallet and Conversion Contract Terms
2.1 Wallet Terms
Account Holders will be required to have a Sequence Wallet in order to create an Account. The Sequence Wallet provides Account Holders with access to an interface allowing them to execute instructions directly on the Ethereum blockchain network (the “SequenceWallet”). The Sequence Wallet allows users to view balances for digital assets that are compatible with the Wallet (“Blockchain Assets”), initiate transfers and transactions involving Blockchain Assets, and as an authenticating account to access Skyweaver and other products and games. Your use of the Sequence Wallet will be governed by the terms located at https://sequence.build/terms and you must accept those terms before creating a Sequence Wallet and establishing an Account to play Skyweaver and other Games.
2.2 Conversion Contract
The Conversion Contract consists of a series of open source smart contracts published by Horizon that will allow a user to, in a self-directed process, lock one digital asset that conforms with the ERC-20 standard in exchange for the creation and transfer to the user of a digital asset with the same features that conforms with the ERC-1155 standard. All action executed through the Conversion Contract is directed by users and does not involve the intervention of Horizon. Users are responsible for executing the Conversion Contract and for the outcomes of such execution. Users agree and acknowledge that neither Horizon nor any other individual will have control over any digital assets locked in the smart contracts related to the Conversion Contract. Users may send instructions to the Conversion Contract through the user interface provided by the Skyweaver or directly through other means.
3. Non-Cash Games of Skill
3.1 Eligibility
Horizon may make available to Account Holders who play Skyweaver, two games of skill, neither of which award cash prizes: (a) a weekly leaderboard contest (“Weekly Contest”) and (b) asynchronous tournaments available from time to time (“Conquest Mode”) (together, the “Contests”).
3.2 Weekly Contest
(a) Method of Entry. All eligible Account Holders will be entered into the Weekly Contest automatically.
(b) Timing. The Weekly Contest begins at 14:00 UTC on Monday of every week starting Nov 25th 2021.
(c) Winner Determination. At 14:00 UTC on Monday of every week, the Platform will take a snapshot of the rankings of all players depending on the amount of games played and their ELO rating. Top ranked Account Holders in the snapshot will be considered a winner, as determined by Horizon in its sole discretion, and eligible for a prize. The chances of winning will depend on a player's skill level and, if playing constructed mode, available cards.
(d) Prizes. Each winner will be eligible to receive a prize based on their ranking. Prizes will consist solely of non-cash items and will automatically be delivered to the winner by Horizon. Prizes are intended for use primarily in gameplay to enhance the entertainment value of gameplay. Any costs or expenses incurred by the winning players in claiming or using their prizes will be the responsibility of the winners. Prizes must be accepted as awarded; no USDC or cash substitutes. The prizes for each rank will be determined by Horizon, in its sole discretion, on a periodic basis. Horizon reserves the right to discontinue Weekly Contests at any time for any reason.
3.3 Conquest Mode
(a) Method of Entry. There are two methods of entry into a Conquest Mode tournament: (a) entry by payment of an entry fee, to be determined by Horizon in its sole discretion, in the form of USDC or an equivalent amount of USD to Horizon; or (b) entry by an Account Holder's transfer of one Silver Card to a blockchain address designated by Horizon. Silver Cards used to enter Conquest will be burned, and will not be held or utilized by Horizon.
(b) Timing and Winner Determination.Tournaments in Conquest Mode are asynchronous and an individual tournament entrant begins a match once another player with the same number of victories enters the queue. At any point after a win has occurred between two players (a “Victory”), the winning player will continue play and the defeated player exits with the Rewards they have earned. The Tournament for each individual player ends after three consecutive Victories or when the player was defeated, whichever happens first. The chances of a Victory will depend on a player's available cards and skill level.
(c) Prizes. Players with at least one Victory are eligible to receive a prize. Prizes will consist solely of non-cash items and will automatically be delivered to the player by Horizon. Prizes are intended for use primarily in gameplay to enhance the entertainment value of gameplay. Any costs or expenses incurred by the winning players in claiming or using their prizes will be the responsibility of the winners. Prizes must be accepted as awarded; no USDC or cash substitutes. The prizes for each number of Victories will be determined by Horizon, in its sole discretion, on a periodic basis. Horizon reserves the right to discontinue Conquest Mode tournaments at any time for any reason.
3.4 Conditions
Account Holders shall not: (a) cheat, employ fraud, or attempt to circumvent these Terms; (b) carry out any kind of spamming; (c) collude with or bribe other Account Holders; or (d) otherwise behave in a manner that Horizon deems, unless prohibited by applicable law, in its sole discretion, offensive or inappropriate. Such behavior will result in an Account Holder being permanently banned from all Contests.
3.5 Limitations of Liability
SOME JURISDICTIONS (WHICH MAY INCLUDE QUEBEC, CANADA) DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE FOLLOWING LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

No more than the stated number of each prize will be awarded.
Horizon reserves the right to cancel or modify the Contests if, in its sole discretion, it determines that a Contest is not capable of running as originally planned for any reason (such as tampering or infection by computer virus, fraud, technical failures, printing or distribution errors, or any other causes or occurrences have compromised the fairness or integrity of the Contest).
3.6 Quebec, Canada
Any litigation respecting the conduct or organization of a publicity contest may be submitted to the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux for a ruling.
