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.
We reserve 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) for the management, maintenance or update of the Software and we shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any loss suffered because of any decision made by us in this regard.

AUTHORITY

We retain authority over the issuing, maintenance, and closing of Users' accounts on the Sites. The decision of our management, as regards any aspect of a User's account, use of the Service or dispute resolution, is final and shall not be open to review or appeal.

YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

your use of the Service is at your sole option, discretion, and risk.
you will need to provide us with certain personal details about yourself (including details regarding your methods of payment for the purposes of acquiring Virtual Chips) as well as (for the purposes of using the Service via the Mobile Software) consenting to our use of location-based services (LBS) to detect your geographic location, for the purpose of using the Service. We will process your personal details in compliance with the data protection laws and regulations of the Hong Kong all in accordance with and as set out in our Privacy Policy.

We reserve 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, we reserve the right to consider any collusion between players (including Users) as a material breach of this Agreement and accordingly we 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.
EXTERNAL PLAYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS TOOLS. We prohibit external player assistance tools ("EPA Tools") that are designed to provide an "unfair advantage" to players. We define "EPA Tools" as computer software (other than the Software), and non-software-based systems (e.g., web sites, subscription services and physical materials). 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.

You agree that we 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 our Software on the User's PC or Device. 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.
CHIP-DUMPING. Chip-dumping occurs when any User intentionally loses a hand 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 AA Poker Account may be terminated immediately. In such circumstances we will be under no obligation to return or credit to you any Chips that may be in your AA Poker Account at such time.
FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR. If we deem that a User has engaged or attempted to engage in fraudulent, unlawful, dishonest, or improper activity while using the Service, including without limitation, engaging in any of the activities set forth above or any other game manipulation, we shall be entitled to take such action as we see fit, including but not limited to:

a. immediately blocking a User's access to the Service

SECURITY AND YOUR ACCOUNT

Each AA Poker Account shall be accessible using 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").
