For Virtual Enhancements, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase the relevant product(s) which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Enhancements available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card or other accepted/approved payment method, whichever comes first.

The provision of Virtual Enhancements for use in the Services and Games is a service provided by uCool that commences immediately upon acceptance by uCool of your purchase.

4.3. Arbitration Option

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties.

The failure of uCool to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of uCool's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.

The express waiver by uCool of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms of Service or the uCool Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms of Service, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by uCool shall be deemed a modification of these Terms of Service nor legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by You and a duly appointed officer of uCool.
