Thank you for using WayBetter, a series of behavior modification websites that allow individuals to enter into goal-oriented games and bet on their ability to reach their targets. The WayBetter websites, games, and related services are operated by WayBetter Inc. (hereafter, "us", "we", "WayBetter" or the "Company"). By registering, accessing, or using any of WayBetter's websites (including but not limited to www.waybetter.com and www.dietbet.com), any mobile version thereof, or any software system designed to support or permit interaction with the website or its functionality over a network (together the “Site"), you (the "User") signify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms of Use" or "Agreement"), whether or not you are a registered member of WayBetter. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or delete portions of these Terms of Use at any time without further notice, provided that WayBetter will post the changes to these Terms of Use on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised.

The Company is not responsible for any technical malfunction or other problems of any telephone network or service, computer systems, servers or providers, computer or mobile phone equipment, software, failure of email or players on account of technical problems or traffic congestion on the Internet or at any website or combination thereof, including injury or damage to User's or to any other person's computer, mobile phone, or other hardware or software, related to or resulting from using or downloading materials in connection with the worldwide web and/or in connection with the Site. Under no circumstances shall the Company be responsible for any loss or damage, including any loss or damage to any User Content or personal injury or death or to losses of bets on WayBetter, resulting from anyone's use of the Site, any User Content or Third Party Applications, Software or Content posted on or through the Site or transmitted to Users, or any interactions between users of the Site, whether online or offline.
    3. Viruses and Malware.

Therefore, you should exercise caution in the use and downloading of any such software, content or materials and use industry-recognized software to detect and disinfect viruses.
    4. Health Disclaimer. WayBetter is not a medical organization. Nothing contained in this Agreement or on the Site should be construed as medical advice. The information offered by WayBetter and its affiliates should not be interpreted as a substitute for physician consultation, evaluation, or treatment. The User acknowledges that WayBetter has no knowledge of any User's health condition(s) and that User alone is responsible for any actions User takes that may have any health or other risks to User. User shall satisfy himself or herself, including consulting with a physician, before participating in any WayBetter game. WayBetter may from time to time provide advice and comments as to weight loss and other health and wellness issues on its website or through e-mails and other media, including text, graphics, and images. This content is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional review of your particular situation. WayBetter does not endorse or recommend any products, services, procedures or opinions that may be mentioned on its site.
    5. Results. We believe our games, when played properly, will help most people to reach their goal including weight loss or maintenance and optimization of running or walking. The Company cannot guarantee and does not promise any specific results from use of the Site and/or any Third Party Applications, Software, or Content. In no case shall the Company be responsible to you for losing money should you wager on any WayBetter sites. You acknowledge that betting is inherently risky.
    6. Not a game of chance. WayBetter games are not games of chance. The intent of the program is to reward participants only for actions over which they have control or influence. The use of this program to reward participants for actions over which they have no control or influence is strictly prohibited.
    7. Organizers. WayBetter games may be organized by an individual not associated with the company. These games may be private or open to the public. These Organizers have the right to eject players at their own discretion. Any disputes you have with Organizers must be resolved directly with the Organizer. The Company will not mediate such disputes or take any responsibility for the actions or inactions of game Organizers.
    8. Hosts. WayBetter games may be hosted by individuals who may or may not be associated with the company. WayBetter is not responsible for any advice or tips they may offer in their games. If Hosts offer specific prizes in their games, they are responsible for delivering those prizes directly to players in the game. WayBetter is under no obligation to fulfill those prizes or incentives.
    9. Disqualifications and Ejections. You may be disqualified for a variety of reasons by your game's Organizer or Host, including violating WayBetter's rules, Terms of Use, or for displaying bad sportsmanship in the judgment of your Organizer or Host. If you are disqualified or ejected for any reason, you will not receive a refund. You further acknowledge that your game's Organizer or Host has the absolute and unappealable right to eject anyone in the game. If you are not comfortable giving the Organizer or Host this power, do not play.
    10. Excessive Weight Loss. You will be automatically disqualified from DietBet games for excessive weight loss. We do this to discourage players from losing what could be an unhealthy amount of weight, and to prevent players from winning by dint of rapid weight-loss procedures such as bariatric surgeries and liposuction. See individual game rules for disqualification thresholds. If you are disqualified for Excessive Weight Loss, you will not be entitled to a refund.
  12. Points.
    1. Point awards. Game winnings, as determined by the rules of the various WayBetter games, shall be awarded to players in Points in accordance with the rules of such games. The amount of Points awarded shall be automatically deposited into players' accounts.
    2. Unexpired Points may be redeemed in whole or in part in cash at any time on the basis of an exchange rate set by WayBetter, currently USD $1.00 for each Point but which may change from time to time at WayBetter’s sole discretion, and may also be applied, optionally or exclusively, for participation in new games or for any other purposes permitted from time to time by WayBetter, including purchases of products and services offered by WayBetter and its partners. The exchange rate when applied to the purchases of products and services may change over time and become higher or lower than USD $1.00 per Point.

      In an effort to prevent fraud, WayBetter leverages PayPal’s security. As a condition of cash redemption of Points, players must use a PayPal account in the same name as their WayBetter account. Each WayBetter player must have their own PayPal account, in their name, in order to receive a cash redemption of Points. (Currently, setting up a personal PayPal account is free.) Players must submit to WayBetter a legible copy of a valid government-issued identification in the name that matches the name on both their WayBetter and Paypal accounts. WayBetter will solely utilize this identification information for verification purposes and will not store it any longer than is necessary for this purpose.

      If a player is in a region where PayPal is unavailable (a list of regions is published and updated from time to time on PayPal’s website), WayBetter will issue redemptions via bank wire or other alternative means, at its discretion, for a wiring handling fee (currently, $30). Players in countries not supported by PayPal must submit to WayBetter a legible copy of a valid government-issued identification in their name which matches the name on their WayBetter account and on the bank account to which they wish to receive the bank wire.

      There is no minimum limit to redemptions; however, for redemptions under $50, WayBetter will add a handling fee (currently, $5) to offset the transactional costs associated with small payouts. We encourage (but do not require) players to accumulate their winnings and enjoy free redemptions once they exceed $50.

      WayBetter reserves the right to change or waive payout handling fees and processes for certain members and other users, at its discretion.
    3. Expiration of Points. Points in a player’s account shall remain in force for a period of one year from the date of the last activity that changes the number of Points in a player’s account.
    4. General. Points are the property of WayBetter and not of the players. They cannot be sold or transferred to any other person or entity, including to other players, and cannot be transferred by operation of law, such as by bankruptcy, inheritance, or divorce. Any such purported transfers shall be null and void. Players shall have no vested rights in Points. They shall have no value except as provided in these rules, and shall under no circumstances have any value after their expiration. WayBetter is not responsible for and will have no liability arising from products and services offered by companies participating in its Points program. WayBetter may, in its discretion, change the Points program rules, awards and special offers, or terminate the program, at any time with or without notice to Points holders.
  13. Reservation of Rights. The Company reserves the right, solely in its discretion, to change any and all content, software, and other items used or contained in the Site at any time without notice; modify and/or discontinue the Site at any time without notice; and terminate your username, password and account, should you be in violation of the Terms of Use.
  14. Disclaimer of Representations, Etc.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF NO FEES ARE PAID TO COMPANY FOR USE OF THE SITE, YOU SHALL BE LIMITED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY LAW, AND SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO DAMAGES OF ANY KIND FROM THE COMPANY, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION.
  16. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents, contractors, partners and employees, harmless from and against any loss, liability, claim, demand, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with any User Content, any Third Party Applications, Software or Content you post or share on or through the Site, your use of the Site, your conduct in connection with the Site or with other users of the Site, or any violation of this Agreement or of any law or the rights of any third party.

  18. Mandatory Arbitration and Waiver of Class Actions.

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES FOR THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE CERTAIN DISPUTES BETWEEN US AND PROVIDES FOR A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS.

Except as specifically provided below, all disputes, controversies or differences which may arise between the parties hereto out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Delaware in accordance with the consumer procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall not involve any class action in a court or in arbitration. You acknowledge that that you have been advised that you may consult with an attorney in deciding whether to accept these Terms of Use with their obligation to arbitrate and their waiver of class actions and of trial by jury.

    This agreement to arbitrate shall not apply, at the option of the Company, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate the Company’s intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights), and the Company may seek injunctive relief in court to prevent unauthorized use of such rights and shall not be required to arbitrate such dispute.
  19. Miscellaneous.

By visiting or using the Site, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and the Company or any of our affiliates. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts in Delaware, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts in Delaware.
    2. Definitions and Constructions. Unless otherwise specified, the terms "includes", "including", "e.g.,", "for example", and other similar terms are deemed to include the term "without limitation" immediately thereafter.

    7. Other. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision in that or any other instance.

Once we begin to bill you, cancellations take effect starting at the end of your current billing period, meaning there are no partial month refunds or credits. If you cancel your Free Trial membership at anytime in the first thirty days (i.e., during the Free Trial period), you will not be charged.

At certain times, we may offer special promotional offers ("Special Offers") that are billed at a discounted rate. These offers may have a different Free Trial period length, or no Free Trial period. In these cases, you will begin to be billed at the time payment information is collected, or, if a Free Trial is being offered, at the end of the special Free Trial period.

These terms will always be disclosed on the payment screen at the time of sign up, prior to our acceptance of payment.

In all instances, you will continue to be automatically billed monthly after your Free Trial ends (or immediately if there is no Free Trial).

The pricing of our Services may vary periodically. We cannot guarantee that the price of your Subscription is the lowest available, or historically lowest or best, price. You will be charged in accordance with the billing terms you agreed to at the time you signed up.

Players winning games will be awarded redeemable Reward Points in accordance with WayBetter's Terms of Use.

Quarterly and Annual Subscriptions

In certain circumstances, we will offer Subscriptions for a longer term (for example, 3 months, 6 months or even a year). These longer-term Subscriptions are charged in full upon purchase, and automatically renew for the same duration as the initial Subscription term you selected (for example, if you initially purchased a 3 month Subscription, your Subscription will automatically renew for three months; 6 month subscriptions will automatically renew for six months, and so on). The amount due for the next renewal term will be due and immediately payable in full and charged as of the first day of such renewal term. You can always cancel before your next renewal term by logging into your account, and following the cancellation instructions below ("How to Cancel").

Charge Authorization

When you sign up for our Service and provide a payment method to StepBet, you are granting your express consent and are expressly authorizing us (and our designated payment processor) to automatically charge you each month for the Service.

If you provide a payment method and our charge results in an overdraft, chargeback or other fee from your bank, you alone are responsible for that fee.

HOW TO CANCEL

If you do not wish for your account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, email support@waybetter.com with your account email and notice of cancellation.

EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE THE SUBSCRIPTION OR ACCESS THE StepBet APPLICATION, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ANY SUBSCRIPTION FEES UNTIL YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION OR IT IS OTHERWISE TERMINATED. To cancel, follow the instructions above ("How to Cancel”).

Changes to membership program

WayBetter may change, modify, add, remove, suspend, cancel or discontinue any aspect of its membership program and subscriptions including the functionality, content, and/or availability of any features of its membership program at any time in WayBetter's sole discretion.

WayBetter may increase its fees for any subscription effective the first day of a billing renewal by giving you notice of the new fees at least thirty (30) days before you are billed. If you do not cancel your subscription, you will be deemed to have accepted the new fees.

WayBetter's Code of Conduct

We encourage good-natured jocularity in the spirit of friendly competition but we also intend for WayBetter to be a place where people respect the rights and feelings of others, including third party intellectual property rights. Therefore, we have established certain rules for using WayBetter and for posting messages, photos, video and other content ("Content") on WayBetter, which rules are set forth in the Terms of Use and in this Code of Conduct.

WHEN YOU PLAY A WAYBETTER GAME, YOU ARE AGREEING TO ABIDE BY THE CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE OTHER RULES SET FORTH IN OUR TERMS OF USE. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS CODE OF CONDUCT AND THE TERMS OF USE MAY RESULT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, IN TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT AND THE DELETION OF CONTENT THAT YOU HAVE POSTED ON WAYBETTER OR ANY OF IT'S SITES, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AS DETERMINED BY WAYBETTER IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION.

WayBetter's Anti-Cheating Provisions

WayBetter expects and requires fairness on the part of its players. To assure compliance with its standards, Waybetter reserves the right to require additional audit of results. Some players may be required to submit additional proof of their final submission within 24 hours of being requested to do so. Instructions on the process will be sent to the player upon being notified of this requirement. Non-compliance by a player with these requirements will result in forfeiture of a player's winning proceeds and initial bet. Further, Waybetter may in its complete discretion decline to permit any individuals to participate in its games. By enrolling in one of WayBetter's games, the player accepts all of WayBetter's terms and conditions and acknowledges that that the decisions of WayBetter's officials shall be final and conclusive with respect to all matters involving WayBetter games.

SUBMISSION OF FRAUDULENT INFORMATION NOT ONLY VIOLATES WAYBETTER'S GAME RULES BUT MAY SUBJECT THE PLAYER TO CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
