Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Player", "you") and NinjaNoJutsu ("NNJ", "we", "us", or "our"), regarding your access to and use of the NinjaNoJutsu website, game client, smart contracts, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

Arbitration Notice: These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement in Section 21. By using the Service, you agree that disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration in Costa Rica, and you waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

2. Eligibility and Restricted Jurisdictions

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

The Service is a skill-based competitive gaming platform. It is not available to residents of the following jurisdictions where participation in skill-based competitions with entry fees is prohibited by law:

• Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, and South Dakota (United States)
• Canada (all provinces and territories)
• The People's Republic of China
• The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea)
• The Islamic Republic of Iran
• The Russian Federation
• The Republic of Belarus
• The Republic of Cuba
• The Syrian Arab Republic
• Any country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions by the United Nations, European Union, or Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
• Any other jurisdiction where participation in skill-based competitions with entry fees is prohibited by law

State-by-State Compliance: In the United States, the legality of skill-based competitions with entry fees varies by state. We may geoblock states where such competitions are prohibited. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of the Service is legal in your specific state or jurisdiction. If you are a US resident, you represent and warrant that you do not reside in a prohibited state.

We reserve the right to geoblock, suspend, or terminate access from any jurisdiction at our sole discretion, including adding new jurisdictions to the restricted list as laws evolve.

VPN and Proxy Prohibition: The use of VPNs, proxies, Tor, or any other technology to mask your true location or circumvent geoblocking is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms. We actively monitor for and block such traffic.

3. No Securities, No Investment Opportunity

NNJ does not issue, sell, or offer any security, investment contract, or financial instrument. Ranked competitive matches on the Service use only established, third-party cryptocurrencies (specifically Solana (SOL) and USDC) as a medium of exchange for entry fees and prize distribution.

Entry fees paid into match escrows are not investments. You are not purchasing a security, a share of NNJ, or any financial instrument. You are paying a fee to participate in a skill-based competition against another player. The outcome depends entirely on your skill relative to your opponent.

There is no expectation of profit derived from the efforts of NNJ, its developers, or any third party. NNJ does not guarantee any return on entry fees. You may lose your entire entry fee. Past performance of other players does not indicate future results.

Match positions, escrow claims, and any rights to pending prizes are non-transferable, non-tradeable, and non-assignable outside of the Service's native smart contract claim mechanism. Any attempt to sell, trade, or transfer your position in a match or your escrow claim to a third party is prohibited and void.

$JUTSU Token: The $JUTSU token is a digital utility tool designed exclusively for use within the NinjaNoJutsu platform ecosystem. It is not a security, investment contract, share of equity, or financial instrument. $JUTSU derives its value solely from its utility within the platform (in-game store purchases, tournament entry, governance participation). NNJ makes no representations about the value of $JUTSU in secondary markets or external exchanges.

Dojo NFTs: Dojo NFTs are digital collectibles and membership passes that provide platform benefits (store discounts, exclusive access). They are not securities, investment contracts, or financial instruments. Ownership of a Dojo NFT does not confer any ownership interest in NNJ, any revenue-sharing rights, or any guaranteed financial return.

4. 100% Skill-Based Competition

NinjaNoJutsu is a 100% skill-based Player versus Player (PvP) competitive arena. All match outcomes are determined solely by player skill — not by random number generation, chance, or luck.

Winners are determined by objective, deterministic in-game performance metrics, including but not limited to: player reaction time, tactical decision-making, resource management, strategic seal combination selection, and execution timing.

No Randomness: The combat system contains absolutely no random number generation (RNG), no critical hit chance, no dodge probability, no loot boxes, and no chance-based mechanics of any kind. All damage calculations, state transitions, and outcomes are 100% deterministic based on player inputs and game rules.

Tie-Breaker: In the extremely rare event of a tie (equal health and conditions), the winner is determined by a deterministic algorithm using the match UUIDv7 identifier. This process is verifiable, reproducible, and contains no element of chance.

You acknowledge that your ability to win prizes is dependent entirely on your individual skill relative to your specific opponent in each match. NNJ does not participate in matches, set odds, or act as a house.

5. Accounts and Self-Custody

You may create an account to access the Service. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

NNJ does not store, manage, or have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or wallet passwords. We do not act as a custodian of your crypto assets. You are solely responsible for the security of your Solana wallet and any connected third-party wallets.

We will never ask you for your private keys or seed phrases. Never share them with anyone claiming to represent NNJ. If you lose access to your wallet, we cannot recover your funds.

6. Platform Fee

NNJ charges a Platform Fee on each competitive match. This fee compensates NNJ for the technology, servers, matchmaking algorithms, anti-cheat systems, cryptographic ledger signing, and ongoing platform development required to operate the Service.

This is not a rake, house edge, or percentage of winnings. It is a transparent service fee for the infrastructure and technology that enables peer-to-peer competitive matches.

The fee is calculated as a percentage of the total match pool and is automatically deducted by the smart contract before prize distribution. The fee rate is configurable per match and is set in the server-signed MatchTicket. The default rate is 3% of the total pool, though this may vary based on promotions or your Dojo NFT membership tier (if applicable). The exact fee for your match is displayed prominently and transparently in the match lobby before you confirm your entry and sign the escrow transaction.

Fee Example: In a $15 entry tier match (two players = $30 total pool) with a 3% fee:

• Total Pool: $30.00
• Platform Fee (3%): $0.90
• Winner Receives: $29.10

Fee Changes: NNJ reserves the right to adjust the Platform Fee rate at any time. Any fee change will be posted on the Service and will apply only to matches entered after the effective date. Matches already in progress are not affected.

7. Peer-to-Peer Escrow and Smart Contracts

The Service facilitates peer-to-peer (P2P) competitions through immutable smart contracts deployed on the Solana blockchain. NNJ does not take custody of player funds, nor does NNJ act as a bank, money transmitter, or escrow agent in a legal sense.

To enter a ranked match, you and your opponent each deposit the required entry amount (in USDC) into a Solana smart contract escrow. Each match is assigned a unique UUIDv7 identifier. The smart contract (not NNJ) holds the combined pool until the match concludes.

Supported Tokens: Only official USDC and $JUTSU mints (hardcoded in the contract) are accepted. No other tokens may be used for match entry or escrow.

$JUTSU Ticket Amount: Certain matches may require a $JUTSU ticket amount as a condition of entry, as specified in the server-signed MatchTicket. Any $JUTSU required for match entry is transferred to a dedicated BurnAccumulator token account and is not refunded under any circumstances. The admin may burn accumulated $JUTSU in batches when the balance meets or exceeds a configurable minimum threshold.

Smart Contract Authority: The smart contract is immutable and operates autonomously according to its published, audited code. NNJ cannot override, reverse, modify, or intervene in smart contract execution. Once funds are deposited, they are governed exclusively by the smart contract logic.

Winner Distribution: The winner claims the pool directly from the smart contract. Claim eligibility is cryptographically verified: the smart contract checks that the server-signed resolution message corresponds to the winner's Solana account address and the match's UUIDv7. The Platform Fee is automatically deducted and the remainder is sent to the winner's wallet.

Tie Resolution: In the event of a verified tie, both players may reclaim their original entry amount (minus the Platform Fee). No player loses more than the fee.

Excess Funds: If the vault ever contains more tokens than the expected pot (e.g., interest, accidental deposits, or airdrops), the excess is automatically transferred to the protocol treasury when the match is cancelled, claimed, or expired.

Time Limits and Expiration:

• Deposit Timeout (1 Hour): If you create a match (Player A) and your opponent (Player B) does not deposit their stake within 1 hour, the match expires. Player A may cancel the match and reclaim their full USDC deposit. Any $JUTSU ticket amount is not refunded.
• Claim Window (7 Days): Winners must claim their prize within 7 days of match resolution. If unclaimed after 7 days, any user (including automated keeper bots) may expire the match. All remaining vault funds are transferred to the protocol treasury. The caller receives the rent deposit as an incentive for cleanup.

Rent Costs and Refunds: Creating an escrow requires a small Solana rent deposit (approximately 0.0032 SOL) to allocate on-chain storage for the escrow account and vault token account. This rent is paid by Player A when creating the match. When the escrow is closed (via claim, cancel, or expire), the rent deposit is refunded to the party that closes the account (the winner, Player A, or the expirer). This incentivizes cleanup and prevents SOL lock-up.

Player Responsibilities:

• Player A (Match Creator): Must have sufficient SOL for transaction fees and rent deposit, sufficient USDC for the competitive stake, and sufficient $JUTSU for the ticket amount (if required by the MatchTicket). Must share the match invite with Player B or wait for matchmaking to assign an opponent.
• Player B (Match Joiner): Must join within the 1-hour deposit window. Must have sufficient SOL for transaction fees, sufficient USDC for the competitive stake, and sufficient $JUTSU for the ticket amount (if required). Must confirm the match parameters before depositing.

All blockchain transactions, including escrow deposits and claims, are irreversible. You are responsible for verifying all transaction details, wallet addresses, network fees, and the displayed Platform Fee before confirming them in your wallet.

8. Server Authority and Cryptographic Match Ledger

NNJ's server logic is authoritative for gameplay integrity and fair play enforcement. All match events are processed server-side to prevent cheating, collusion, and unauthorized client modifications.

Per-Match Immutable Ledger: Every match generates an independent, immutable ledger. The authoritative server creates a unique match UUIDv7 at match creation. Each event in the match history is signed by the server using Ed25519 digital signatures and includes the SHA-256 hash of the previous event, forming a cryptographically chained sequence. The ledger is encoded in canonical JSON and stored in Base58 format within PostgreSQL TEXT.

Ledger Structure: Each event in the match ledger contains:

• The match UUIDv7 identifier
• A monotonic nonce for replay protection
• A timestamp of the event
• The match state data (player actions, health, conditions)
• The SHA-256 hash of the previous event in the chain
• An Ed25519 digital signature from the authoritative server

Final Resolution Event: The last event in the ledger reveals the winner by public account address, including the match UUIDv7, nonce, timestamp, winning reason, and final match state data. This final event is cryptographically signed by the server and serves as the root of trust for on-chain prize distribution.

Public Auditability: All match ledgers are stored server-side and are publicly accessible for independent audit and verification. Anyone may download the full sequence of events for any match and verify: (1) the chain of signatures is valid, (2) each event's previous hash matches the prior event, (3) the final event's hash matches the server resolution signature submitted to the smart contract.

Test Matches: Same-account matches (where the creator and opponent are the same wallet) are test-only and are not eligible for prizes or ranked progression.

Our public key is publicly readable and available at https://api.ninjanojutsu.com/keys/public for independent verification. You may verify the authenticity and integrity of any signed match history using this public key. However, the server's determination of match results is final and binding for all purposes of prize distribution.

9. Finality of Game Results

All game results are final, irrevocable, and binding. The winner receives the match pool minus the Platform Fee and any applicable Solana blockchain network fees (typically <0.001 SOL).

Once a match result is signed by the server and recorded, it cannot be appealed, reversed, or modified by NNJ or any third party. Disputes regarding gameplay must be raised via our Support channels within 24 hours of match completion, but the server-signed result remains binding for smart contract execution.

10. Internet Connectivity and Technical Responsibility

The Service requires a stable, low-latency internet connection. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your internet connection, hardware, software environment, and Solana wallet are sufficient to use the Service.

While we implement client-side reconnection logic to mitigate temporary disconnections, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted connectivity. NNJ is not liable for any losses, including entry fees, resulting from disconnections, lag, packet loss, or other connectivity issues originating from your network, ISP, or device.

If you disconnect during an active match, the match will pause for up to 60 seconds to allow reconnection. If you do not reconnect within this window, the match may be forfeited and you may lose your entry fee and any $JUTSU ticket amount. Repeated disconnections (exceeding 10% of your matches) will trigger an automatic account review.

11. Dojo NFT Membership

Dojo NFTs are digital collectibles and membership passes on the Solana blockchain. They provide certain platform benefits, including reduced Platform Fees on ranked matches and exclusive access to tournaments and features.

Dojo NFTs are not securities, investment contracts, or financial instruments. They do not confer any ownership interest in NNJ, any right to revenue sharing, any dividend, or any guaranteed financial return. The value of a Dojo NFT derives solely from its utility and desirability as a platform membership pass.

Fee Reduction: Dojo NFT holders receive a reduced Platform Fee on ranked matches based on their tier. This is a membership benefit, analogous to a discount card or loyalty program. It does not create any debt, obligation, or investment relationship between NNJ and the holder.

Dojo NFTs are tradeable on secondary NFT marketplaces. NNJ does not control, guarantee, or facilitate secondary sales. Any purchase or sale of Dojo NFTs on secondary markets is at your own risk.

12. $JUTSU Token Utility

$JUTSU is the internal utility token of the NinjaNoJutsu ecosystem. It is designed exclusively as a digital tool for use within the platform.

Primary Functions:

• In-game store purchases (cosmetic items, visual enhancements)
• Match entry tickets (certain matches require $JUTSU as specified in the server-signed MatchTicket)
• Tournament entry fees for special competitive events
• Governance voting on game balance and platform parameters (Phase 2)
• Dojo NFT acquisition and upgrades

What $JUTSU Is Not: $JUTSU is explicitly not an investment contract, security, share of equity, debt instrument, or guarantee of future value. NNJ makes no representations about the price, value, or tradability of $JUTSU in secondary markets or on external exchanges. The value of $JUTSU derives entirely from its utility within the NinjaNoJutsu platform.

Token Burning: $JUTSU collected as match entry tickets is transferred to a BurnAccumulator account and may be burned in batches by the admin when a configurable minimum threshold is met. This is a deflationary mechanism, not a revenue stream to NNJ.

Token Distribution: $JUTSU is distributed through platform participation, community incentives, and liquidity provision. NNJ does not conduct investment offerings, initial coin offerings (ICOs), or securities sales. The total supply is fixed at 1,400,000,000 $JUTSU with no additional minting.

Decentralization Commitment: NNJ is committed to progressive decentralization. The combined ownership of the founding team and company treasury will not exceed 19.99% of the total supply, ensuring compliance with the digital commodity threshold under applicable regulatory frameworks.

13. Match Entry and Tournament Participation

All competitive matches on the Service require deposit of a competitive stake (in USDC) into the P2P smart contract escrow. Certain matches may also require a $JUTSU ticket amount as specified in the server-signed MatchTicket.

$JUTSU Ticket: When required by the MatchTicket, $JUTSU functions as a digital consumable for platform access and matchmaking services, analogous to purchasing tokens at an arcade or credits for a gaming platform. The $JUTSU ticket amount is non-refundable and consumed in full upon match entry. It does not confer any ownership interest, equity, or residual value. The required amount is displayed prominently and transparently before you confirm match entry.

Competitive Stake (Escrow): You and your opponent each deposit the required competitive stake (in USDC) into an immutable Solana smart contract escrow. This stake forms the prize pool. The escrow operates autonomously and is not controlled by NNJ. The winner receives the prize pool (minus the Platform Fee) in USDC directly from the smart contract.

Two Separate Transactions:

• Transaction 1 — Competitive Stake (USDC): Deposited into the P2P escrow, forms the prize pool, returned to winner (minus fee). This is the competitive stake.
• Transaction 2 — $JUTSU Ticket (if required): Transferred to the BurnAccumulator, consumed immediately, grants access to the matchmaking system. This is a platform consumable, not a wager or deposit.

$JUTSU as Digital Consumable: $JUTSU functions exclusively as a digital consumable and platform credit within the NinjaNoJutsu ecosystem. It is not a security, investment contract, or financial instrument. The acquisition of $JUTSU is not an investment in NNJ. $JUTSU has no guaranteed value, no redemption rights, and no residual value after consumption. Its market price is determined solely by supply and demand on external exchanges and within the platform ecosystem.

Platform Fee: In addition to any $JUTSU ticket, a Platform Fee is deducted from the competitive stake (USDC) prize pool. This fee compensates NNJ for server infrastructure, anti-cheat systems, cryptographic ledger signing, and ongoing platform development. The fee is displayed transparently before match entry and is configurable per match (default 3%), with potential discounts based on your Dojo NFT membership tier. The entire Platform Fee is allocated to the Company Treasury.

Tournaments (Phase 2): Tournaments are special competitive events that may be introduced in a future phase of the Service. Tournament participation may require payment of a fee in $JUTSU, which is consumed upon entry. Tournament prizes are awarded in USDC from the NNJ Company Treasury or from third-party sponsors. Tournament prizes are not funded by player ticket amounts. The existence, size, and structure of any tournament prize pool is determined at NNJ's sole discretion.

No Guaranteed Events: NNJ makes no commitment to offer any specific number, frequency, or type of match or tournament. All competitive events are discretionary and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

14. Discretionary Rewards and Airdrops

NNJ may, at its sole and absolute discretion, distribute $JUTSU tokens, platform credits, or other rewards to users as part of community engagement, promotional campaigns, or player incentive programs.

No Guaranteed Rewards: No user has any right, claim, or expectation to receive any reward, airdrop, or distribution. All rewards are discretionary and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time without notice. Past distributions do not guarantee future distributions.

NFT Holder Benefits: Dojo NFT holders may be eligible for discretionary reward programs. However, ownership of a Dojo NFT does not entitle the holder to any specific reward, airdrop, or distribution. Any benefits are promotional in nature and not contractual obligations.

Active Participation Required: Any rewards that are distributed require active participation in the NinjaNoJutsu ecosystem. No rewards are provided for passive holding, staking, or locking of tokens. Eligibility is determined by NNJ at its sole discretion based on factors including but not limited to: match participation, tournament performance, community contributions, and referral activity.

15. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use cheats, hacks, bots, scripts, aimbots, memory editors, or any unauthorized third-party software to gain an unfair advantage.
• Exploit bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities in the game client, server, or smart contracts.
• Engage in match-fixing, collusion, win-trading, or any form of coordinated cheating with other players.
• Use multiple accounts, VPNs, proxies, or sybil attacks to manipulate matchmaking, rankings, or escrow outcomes.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or intercept network traffic from the Service.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or networks connected to the Service (DDoS, packet flooding, etc.).
• Harass, abuse, dox, or threaten other users or NNJ staff.
• Use the Service for money laundering, terrorist financing, sanctions evasion, or other illicit financial activity.
• Access the Service from a prohibited jurisdiction or using VPN/proxy technology to circumvent geoblocking.
• Send tokens to the smart contract escrows, BurnAccumulator, or any protocol account outside of the official enter_match, join_match, claim, or cancel flows.

Violation of these rules may result in immediate account suspension, permanent ban, forfeiture of pending escrow claims, and referral to law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

16. Anti-Money Laundering

NNJ is committed to preventing money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion. We reserve the right to require identity verification on a risk-based basis, particularly for users exhibiting suspicious transaction patterns, unusually high match volumes, or other red-flag activity.

We monitor platform activity for suspicious behavior and reserve the right to freeze accounts, report suspicious activity to relevant authorities, and refuse service to users from sanctioned jurisdictions or those appearing on OFAC, UN, or EU sanctions lists.

By using the Service, you represent that you are not a sanctioned person and that your use of the Service does not violate any applicable anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws.

17. Intellectual Property

All content, graphics, code, smart contracts, and materials provided through the Service are the property of NNJ or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

NinjaNoJutsu is an original competitive gaming platform inspired by ninja combat themes. NNJ does not claim ownership of any third-party intellectual property that may be referenced or alluded to in community-created content. All respective trademarks and copyrights belong to their owners. If you are a rights holder and believe your property is being used improperly, please contact us immediately.

18. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

NNJ does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We are not responsible for losses arising from blockchain network congestion, smart contract bugs (excluding those caused by our gross negligence), wallet errors, user mistakes, third-party wallet provider failures, or force majeure events.

Smart Contract Risk: You acknowledge that smart contracts are subject to inherent risks, including but not limited to coding bugs, exploits, blockchain network congestion, and oracle failures. While NNJ endeavors to have its smart contracts audited by reputable third parties, NNJ is not liable for losses arising from smart contract vulnerabilities, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NNJ'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO NNJ IN MATCH ACCESS FEES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$100). THIS LIMITATION APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NNJ and its affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another.

20. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

21. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Costa Rica, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Informal Resolution: Before filing any claim, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting NNJ Support at support@ninjanojutsu.com. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days of receiving your notice.

Binding Arbitration: If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the Centro de Conciliación y Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio de Costa Rica in accordance with its rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in San José, Costa Rica, or via video conference at the parties' mutual agreement. The language of arbitration shall be Spanish, as agreed by the parties.

Class Action Waiver: You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You waive any right to a jury trial. No arbitrator shall have authority to conduct class arbitration.

Enforceability: If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be severed and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

22. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use the Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you must stop using the Service.

23. Force Majeure

NNJ shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: Solana blockchain outages or congestion, internet service disruptions, denial-of-service attacks, smart contract exploits (excluding those caused by our gross negligence), wallet provider failures, exchange failures, regulatory actions, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.

In the event of a force majeure occurrence, NNJ will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance as soon as practicable. No refund of consumed $JUTSU ticket amounts or competitive stakes will be provided for matches interrupted by force majeure events.

24. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published by us on the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and NNJ concerning the Service. Any prior oral or written agreements, representations, or understandings are superseded.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Waiver: No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Assignment: You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. NNJ may assign these Terms at any time without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
