For example, Virtual Currency will be lost, deleted from your Education Monsters Account or forfeited when/if your Education Monsters Account is terminated, suspended or closed for any reason or when we discontinue any or all of the Education MonstersProduct, including without limitation any services provided or offered through third party platforms.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make all calculations regarding the balance of Virtual Currency in your Education Monsters Account. We further reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to determine the amount of Virtual Currency that is credited and debited from your Education Monsters Account in connection with your use of the Education Monsters Product.

You further agree that Education Monsters may, in Education Monsters’s sole discretion, reverse any transaction if such reversal is in Education Monsters’s best interest, or may debit your balance of Virtual Currency, including without limitation, taking actions, which may cause your balance to be zero and/or a negative amount. Education Monsters may, in Education Monsters’s sole discretion, terminate, suspend or modify your Education Monsters Account if you engage or assist in any Unauthorized Transactions. Verification of certain information applicable to a transaction involving Virtual Currency may be required prior to our acceptance thereof. In addition, as a condition to receiving certain Virtual Currency or other awards for participating in promotions, giveaways, contests or sweepstakes, you may be required to provide additional information about yourself in our marketing materials. You acknowledge and agree that Education Monsters shall have no liability for the use or loss of such information and/or Virtual Currency, such as hacking, phishing, password mining, social engineering and/or any other unauthorized third party or other user’s activity. Education Monsters may replace such lost Virtual Currency under certain circumstances, at Education Monsters’s sole discretion on a case-by-case basis, without incurring any obligation or liability. You may be required to provide the Education Monsters or our designated representative with your credit card number or other billing information, and related information, in order to purchase Virtual Currency.

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for the Education Monsters Platform under this Agreement.
