In order to become a registered user of the Service (“User”), you will need to register for a User Account (“Account”). During registration of your User Account, you will be asked to select a username and password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password and for all activities that occur with regard to your User Account. You agree that the information you provide to Us during Your registration of a User Account is, at the time of registration true, accurate, current, and complete and you agree to keep Your Account information up to date at all times. User Account data expressly includes, but is not limited to Your Account information, videos and images of You or that you post to the Service. Gamelancer Accounts are not subject to assignment and may not be rented, sold or transferred without the express written consent of Company. We reserve the right to monitor the use of your Account and take any action we deem appropriate to prevent any violation or abuse of any Gamelancer Policies, laws, ordinances, regulations or rights of Company, any Gamelancer or any User including the suspension, disabling or deactivation of Your Account or Your access to any Account.

4.2 Dormant Accounts

User or Gamelancer Accounts with no activity (Coin purchase, Session booking, Coin conversion, Reward withdrawal) for more than 36 months are subject to suspension or termination, as provided in Section 10, at the discretion of the Service.

5.1 Coins; Coin Purchase

All transactions between Users and the Company or Users and any Gamelancer are paid with Gamelancer Coins. Gamelancer Coins are purchased by Users during or after the initial sign up process at the then prevailing price which is set by Company and is subject to change without notice. Generally, the more Coins you purchase at a time the more favorable the pricing will be. Company may offer promotional, discount or special Coins from time to time which may have different privileges or restrictions (“Promotional Coins”). Once purchased, Coins are not refundable and have no monetary value. Coins that you purchase will be placed into your Gamelancer Account (“Wallet”) for use once the transaction is approved. Company presently accepts payment by Credit Card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover) and Paypal. Additional payment options may be made available in the future and indicated on the Wallet portion of your Account.

5.2 Use of Coins

Users may use Coins contained within their Wallet to purchase time to be spent with the Gamelancer using the Service (“Session”). Sessions with Gamelancers may be of varying length and value as identified at the time of booking. Gamelancers set their own schedule and pricing, both of which are subject to change in advance of any particular purchase. Once a purchase is confirmed by the Gamelancer, the pricing is locked and cannot change. Coins are not redeemable for cash and have no cash value. Coins are subject to cancellation in the event that your account is suspended or terminated as provided herein. Gamelancers may convert Coins to Rewards as defined and provided below. Promotional Coins may have different conversion requirements.

5.3 Cancellation

In the event a Gamelancer fails to join a booked session within 5 minutes of the scheduled start time (“NoShow”), the Session is subject to cancellation by the User. In the event of a NoShow, the User is entitled to a refund of the Coins used to purchase the NoShow Session. In the event of any NoShow please email support@gamelancer.com with Your Session information. In the event that a User fails to join a booked session within 5 minutes of the scheduled start time (“Default”) the Session is automatically cancelled and there is no refund of Coins used to book the Session. Please be respectful of time booked Sessions with Gamelancers because they are reserving time on their schedule for your Session which cannot be re-booked in the event of a Default. Multiple Defaults may result in fines or penalties including termination of Your Account. Sessions booked and cancelled more than 12 hours prior to the scheduled start time of the Session maybe granted a credit or partial credit at the discretion of the Service and the Gamelancer.

5.4 Rewards

Gamelancers may use Coins they receive from Sessions to book Sessions with other Gamelancers. In addition, Gamelancers that have met all payment verification requirements (“Badge”) may, once they have collected at least 500 Coins, exchange Coins for Gamelancer Rewards (“Rewards”) at the then current redemption rate available in the Wallet section Your User Account. Rewards may be withdrawn from Your Wallet as U.S. Dollars. Available payment methods are as shown the Wallet Section of your User Account. The exchange rate from Coins to Rewards and Badge verification requirements are set by Company at Company’s own discretion and are subject to change without notice. Exchange rates are tiered depending upon a number of factors including but not limited to the number and frequency of Session bookings and conversion amounts and conversion frequency. Badge verification requirements may be found at Gamelancer.com/Badge.
