Your Profile
We store

provide pertinent offers

We use this information
to enhance or overlay your

Changes to
this Privacy Policy
Updates.
This Privacy Policy will
be periodically updated
to reflect changes in laws,
regulations, and their interpretation,
and, therefore, we reserve
the right to change, modify
or amend this Privacy Policy
at any time. Any revised
Privacy Policy will only
apply prospectively to your

information collected or
modified after the effective
date of the revised Privacy
Policy. You should periodically
check this Privacy Policy
so you can always be aware
of what information is collected,
how it is used, and under
what circumstances, if any,
BetFreeSports.com discloses
it. Dispute Resolution.
You and BetFreeSports.com
agree that any Dispute between
you and BetFreeSports.com
shall be resolved exclusively
and finally by arbitration
administered by the National
Arbitration Forum ("NAF"),
using interpretations under
Pennsylvania law, and conducted
under its rules, except
as otherwise provided below.
You and BetFreeSports.com
will agree on another arbitration
forum if NAF ceases operations.
The arbitration will be
conducted before a single
arbitrator, and will be
limited solely to the Dispute
between you and BetFreeSports.com.
The arbitration, or any
portion of it, will not
be consolidated with any
other arbitration and will
not be conducted on a class-wide
or class action basis. The
arbitration shall be held
at any reasonable location
in Philadelphia, PA. If
you prevail in the arbitration
of any Dispute with BetFreeSports.com,
BetFreeSports.com will reimburse
you for any fees you paid
to NAF in connection with
the arbitration. Any decision
rendered in such arbitration
proceedings will be final
and binding on the parties,
and judgment may be entered
thereon in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
Should either party bring
a Dispute in a forum other
than NAF, the arbitrator
may award the other party
its reasonable costs and
expenses, including attorneys'
fees, incurred in staying
or dismissing such other
proceedings or in otherwise
enforcing compliance with
this dispute resolution
provision. You understand
that, in the absence of
this provision, you would
have had a right to litigate
disputes through a court,
including the right to litigate
claims on a class-wide or
class action basis, and
that you have expressly
and knowingly waived those
rights and agreed to resolve
any Disputes through binding
arbitration in accordance
with the provisions of this
paragraph. This arbitration
provision shall be governed
by the Federal Arbitration
Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1,
et seq. For the purposes
of this provision, the term
"Dispute" means any dispute,
controversy, or claim arising
out of or relating to: (i)
this Privacy Policy, its
interpretation, or the breach,
termination, applicability
or validity thereof; (ii)
the related order for, purchase,
delivery, receipt or use
of any product or service
from BetFreeSports.com;
or iii) any other dispute
arising out of or relating
to the relationship between
you and BetFreeSports.com;
the term "BetFreeSports.com"
means BetFreeSports.com,
its parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, beneficiaries,
agents, assigns, component
suppliers (both hardware
and software), and/or any
third party who provides
products or services purchased
from or distributed by BetFreeSports.com.
Information may be obtained
from the NAF online at www.arb-forum.com,
by calling 800-474- 2371,
or writing to P.O. Box 50191,
Minneapolis, MN, 55405.
