Q: How do prize draws work?


PRIZE DRAWS


OneShot Golf is a game of skill, not chance. OneShot Golf requires players to use skill and strategy. No purchase is necessary to participate in any Prize Draws through the the app.


The service will conduct multiple daily, weekly, and monthly prize draw contests. These can be found in the “Win” Tab in the app. For any Prize Draws offered: A drawing will be conducted after each Contest Period. 


What is a Prize Draw?


Prize Draws are a feature within the app that allow players to use their skill to win various ticket types that can be used to enter draws for various prizes. If a player scores a shot on a ‘ticket’ hole they win the amount of tickets indicated on that hole. The ticket types can then be used to join a corresponding prize draw that accepts that type of ticket. Draws are performed at the time of day indicated on the Prize Draw entry screen. Won prize draw tickets are subject to expiration, in the sole discretion of 54e. Users may also enter a draw by mailing one (1) white postcard per day with your in-game username and linked email address (found on the profile screen in the app) as well as your address, city, province or territory, postal code and telephone number handwritten in black ink to: 54e Dev Studios, 106 Victoria Avenue East, Suite 105, Regina, SK, S4N 0N4. Upon receipt of a valid mail-in entry a user's account will be credited with one of each valid type of prize draw ticket at the time of receipt. Each postcard must be unique and no script, macro, robotic or other program-assisted, mechanically reproduced, bulk or mass entries are permitted. By submitting an entry into a prize draw, you are agreeing to all rules of the prize draw.


Verification of Winners and Delivery of Prizes


Winners are selected at random for each Prize Draw and the contest judges’ decisions are final. Each potential winner must comply with all terms and conditions set forth in the complete Terms of Service, and winning is dependent upon fulfilling all such requirements. Winners are selected at random for each draw and will be notified in the app at the conclusion of the prize draw. In the event of non-OSG point prizes, the OSG team will reach out to the winner via email to fulfill the prize. We are not responsible for notifications that are misdirected or not received because of email addresses that are not correct, incorrect addresses provided, or email messages that are sent to spam. If a winner cannot be contacted within seven (7) days after the first attempt to contact the winner, such person may be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected. If the prize notification is returned as non-deliverable, the winner may be disqualified and another winner may be selected. Past prize draws and winners can be found in the app under the Recent Winners tab of the Prize Draw screen.


Prizes


The prizes offered in the OneShot Golf app are products of third party resellers or suppliers and are not under the control or responsibility of the Company. For Physical Prizes, the company’s sole responsibility is to arrange the delivery of the prize to the winning User solely at the home address provided by such User to the Company and the User represents and warrants that such address provided to the Company is the User’s home address.

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT


If a dispute arises between you and us, we prefer amicable resolution to protracted legal battles. To that end, we have created an informal dispute resolution program we believe can resolve most matters. Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you must first exhaust these steps to resolution:


CHECK THE FAQ: You can start your resolution process by reviewing our “Help/FAQ” section for the applicable game or Services. Each “FAQ” section is specific to each game and addresses the most commonly asked questions or concerns players may have, so please start there.


IN-GAME SUPPORT: If our FAQs did not resolve the issue, please complete a help ticket in-game, and be sure to clearly state your issue in the ticket. All tickets are reviewed by our player care team, who will work with you to resolve the issue through the inbox message system in your Account. Please bear with us; we may need to research your issue to fully resolve the ticket, and this may require us to ask further questions and engage with you over several communications. Although most issues can be resolved in this way, certain issues may require further escalation, as reasonably determined by us.


ESCALATION: If you have followed the above steps, but you feel that the issue remains unresolved after our agents have stated that a matter is closed, please email us and include a reference to the help ticket and specific issue you believe is unresolved. Our player care leads will work with you further to resolve your issue. In some cases, we may address the issue remotely. In others, we may ask to speak with you directly and will arrange a mutual time to discuss your matter. If you provide us with your phone number for this purpose, it will not be used for other purposes.


If your issue remains unresolved after you have exhausted our informal dispute resolution system above, you may seek to resolve it through binding arbitration as follows:


You agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions or our Services on an individual basis through final and binding arbitration, provided you have exhausted the dispute resolution steps above and the dispute remains unresolved. These Terms and Conditions Will preclude you from bringing any class action against 54e Dev. These Terms and Conditions apply to all kinds of claims under any legal theory. It also applies even after you stop using your Account or have deleted it.


An arbitration proceeding proceeds before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury, so we both agree to give up our right to a trial before a judge or jury. Arbitration proceedings have different rules than lawsuits in court. Arbitration is less formal and provides limited opportunity to compel the other side to share information relevant to the dispute—a process called discovery. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. But, if you or we do not like the arbitrator’s decision, the courts only have a limited ability to change the outcome of arbitration or make the arbitrator reconsider his or her decision. If we have a dispute about whether these Terms and Conditions respecting arbitration can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that too, rather than a court or other agency. Unless you and 54e Dev otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.


ARBITRATION NOTICE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.
