Introduction and Overview
Welcome! You have arrived at www.ludia.com and/or are otherwise interacting with our mobile application, Jurassic World Alive (the “App”), which is owned and operated by Ludia, Inc. or our affiliates (collectively, “Ludia,” “we,” or “our,” or “us”). These Terms govern your use of the App. It also applies to your use of all features, widgets, plug-ins, applications, content, downloads and/or other services that (i) we own and control and make available through the App, regardless of how you access or use it, whether via mobile device or otherwise.
By using the App, you acknowledge and accept the App’s Privacy Policy and consent to the collection and use of your data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.
By using the App, you also acknowledge and accept NBCUniversal’s privacy policy, Unity 3D’s privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy and terms of service. Google’s, Unity 3D’s and NBCUniversal’s content and/or services are integrated in the App and required for important App functionality and your acceptance is therefore necessary to use the App.
You should read these entire Terms; but here is a partial list of some of the terms that we want to bring to your initial attention. Click on section references for details, which terms and not summaries govern. In the event you are on a smart phone or other device with a small screen, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them where defined in these Terms.
Each time you use the App, the Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms (defined below), then posted apply (subject to Section 14 ), so you should check back each time you return for any updates.
Click for a summary of each section of these Terms. You may click on the topic heading or the “More” button for full details.
You may only use the Content (defined below) on the App in connection with your permitted activities on the App and not in an offline environment or in connection with another site or service. (Section 1 and Section 3 ). You grant us a broad license to content you submit to us. (Section 2 )
Except as set forth in the Privacy Policy that applies to the App, you and we do not have a confidential, fiduciary, or any other special relationship by virtue of your use of the App or your communications to us through or related to the App. (Section 2 ). You consent to our Privacy Policy and our practices detailed in it.
Where not prohibited by applicable law, many types of disputes that may arise in connection with your access to and use of the App may be subject to mandatory arbitration – which includes your waiver to class action relief. (Section 10 )
Where not prohibited by applicable law, we are providing the App to you on an “as-is” basis, without any warranty of any kind, and our liability to you in connection with your use of the App is very limited. Many other limitations and disclaimers relate to your use of the App. (Section 11 and Section 12 )
IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS APP
Carefully read these entire Terms (including all links to details), as they constitute a written agreement between you and us and they affect your legal rights and obligations. The summaries of provisions and section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms. If you use the App, you represent that you are at least sixteen (16) years old and if you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, you may use the App only with involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms and to be responsible for your use. Each time you access and/or use the App (other than to simply read these Terms), you agree to be bound by and comply with these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms then posted (subject to Section 14 ). Therefore, do not use the App, and uninstall the App, if you do not agree. The business realities associated with operating the App are such that, without the conditions that are set forth in these Terms – such as your grants and waivers of rights, the limitations on our liability, your indemnity of us, and our arbitration of certain disputes – we would not make the App available to you.
In some instances, both these Terms and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of service or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the App or to a service or product offered via the App (in each such instance, and collectively “Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise. Please also review the App’s Privacy Policy, which you accept by using the App.
By using the App, you also acknowledge and accept NBCUniversal’s privacy policy, Unity 3D’s privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy and terms of service.

Without limitation, we may, but do not commit to, do so to address content that comes to our attention that we believe is offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate, or to enforce the rights of third parties or these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms.

- Representations and Warranties Related to Your UGC. Each time you submit any UGC, you represent and warrant that you are at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside or are the parent or legal guardian, or have all proper consents from the parent or legal guardian, of any minor who is depicted in or contributed to any UGC you submit, and that, as to that UGC, (a) you are the sole author and owner of the intellectual property and other rights to the UGC, or you have a lawful right to submit the UGC and grant Ludia the rights to it that you are granting by these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, all without any Ludia obligation to obtain consent of any third-party and without creating any obligation or liability of Ludia; (b) the UGC is accurate; (c) the UGC does not and, as to Ludia’s permitted uses and exploitation set forth in these Terms, will not infringe any intellectual property or other right of any third-party; and (d) the UGC will not violate these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, or cause injury or harm to any person.
- Enforcement. Ludia has no obligation to monitor or enforce your intellectual property rights to your UGC, but you grant us the right to protect and enforce our rights to your UGC, including
initiating actions in your name and on your behalf (at Ludia’s cost and expense, to which you hereby consent and irrevocably appoint Ludia as your attorney-in-fact, with the power of substitution and delegation, which appointment is coupled with an interest).
- Community Usage Rules. As a user of the App, these Community Usage Rules (“Rules”) are here to help you understand the conduct that is expected of members of the App’s online communities (“Communities”).
- Nature of Rules. Your participation in the Communities is subject to all of the Terms, including the Fair Play And Community Guidelines and the Play Safe Guidelines , and these Rules:Your UGC. All of your UGC either must be original with you or you must have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order to permit you to comply with these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. Your UGC should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties. Do not use any UGC that belongs to other people and pass it off as your own; this includes any content that you might have found elsewhere on the Internet. If anyone contributes to your UGC or has any rights to your UGC, or if anyone appears or is referred to in the UGC, then you must also have their permission to submit such UGC to Ludia. (For example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit that photo to Ludia as your UGC, then you must obtain your friend’s and the photographer’s permission to do so.)
Speaking of Photos: No Pictures, Videos, or Images of Anyone Other Than You and Your Friends and Family. If you choose to submit photos to the App, link to embedded videos, or include other images of real people, then make sure they are of you or of you and someone you know – and only if you have their express permission to submit it.
Act Appropriately. All of your App activities must be venue appropriate, as determined by us. Be respectful of others’ opinions and comments so we can continue to build Communities for everyone to enjoy. If you think your UGC might offend someone or be embarrassing to someone, then chances are it probably will and it doesn’t belong on the App. Cursing, harassing, stalking, insulting comments, personal attacks, gossip, and similar actions are prohibited. Your UGC must not threaten, abuse, or harm others, and it must not include any negative comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or handicap. Your UGC must not be defamatory, slanderous, indecent, obscene, pornographic, or sexually explicit. Your UGC must not exploit children under the age of eighteen (18).
Do Not Use for Commercial or Political Purposes. Your UGC must not advertise or promote a product or service or other commercial activity, or a politician, public servant, or law.
Do Not Use to Solicit or Send Unwanted Communications. Do not harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of others from the App by electronic or other means for the purposes of sending unsolicited emails or other unsolicited communications or otherwise sending commercial electronic messages without the recipient’s consent. Do not solicit personal information from anyone or solicit passwords or personally identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes. This also includes not uploading, posting, transmitting, sharing or otherwise making available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” or any other form of solicitation.
Do Not Use for Inappropriate Purposes. Your UGC must not promote any infringing, illegal, or other similarly inappropriate activity.
Be Honest and Do Not Misrepresent Yourself or Your UGC. Do not impersonate any other person, user, or company, and do not submit UGC that you believe may be false, fraudulent, deceptive, inaccurate, or misleading, or that misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company. In the event you receive anything in consideration from us with respect to your UGC (e.g., coupons, sweepstakes entries, etc.) you represent you will include disclosure of the receipt of this consideration clearly and conspicuously as part of the UGC and include any other disclosures we may require.
Others Can See. We hope that you will use the Communities to exchange information and content and have venue appropriate discussions with other members. However, please remember that the Communities are public or semi-public and UGC that you submit on the App within a Community may be accessible and viewable by other users. Do not submit personally identifying information (e.g., first and last name together, password, phone number, address, credit card number, medical information, email address, or other personally identifiable information or contact information) on Community spaces and take care when otherwise disclosing this type of information to others.
Don’t Share Other People’s Personal Information. Your UGC should not reveal another person’s address, phone number, email address, social security number, credit card number, medical information, financial information, or any other information that may be used to track, contact, or impersonate that individual, unless, and in the form and by the method, specifically requested by Ludia (e.g., an email address to send an email invite to a friend).
Don’t Damage the App or Anyone’s Computers or Other Devices. Your UGC must not submit viruses, Trojan horses, spyware, or any other technologies or malicious code that could impact the operation of the App or any computer or other Device.
If you submit UGC that Ludia reasonably believes violates these Rules, then we may take any legally available action that we deem appropriate, in our sole discretion. However, we are not obligated to take any action not required by applicable law. We may require, at any time, proof of the permissions referred to above in a form acceptable to us. Failure to provide such proof may lead to, among other things, the UGC in question being removed from the App.
- Your Interactions With Other Users; Disputes. You are solely responsible for your interaction with other users of the App, whether online or offline. We are not responsible or liable for the conduct or content of any user. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor or become involved in disputes between you and other users. Exercise common sense and your best judgment in your interactions with others (e.g., when you submit any personal or other information) and in all of your other online activities.
- Nature of Rules. Your participation in the Communities is subject to all of the Terms, including the Fair Play And Community Guidelines and the Play Safe Guidelines , and these Rules:Your UGC. All of your UGC either must be original with you or you must have all necessary rights in it from third parties in order to permit you to comply with these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms. Your UGC should not contain any visible logos, phrases, or trademarks that belong to third parties. Do not use any UGC that belongs to other people and pass it off as your own; this includes any content that you might have found elsewhere on the Internet. If anyone contributes to your UGC or has any rights to your UGC, or if anyone appears or is referred to in the UGC, then you must also have their permission to submit such UGC to Ludia. (For example, if someone has taken a picture of you and your friend, and you submit that photo to Ludia as your UGC, then you must obtain your friend’s and the photographer’s permission to do so.)
- Appropriate Content and Alerting Us of Violations. We expect UGC to be appropriate for a general audience, but do not undertake to monitor it, and you consent to potentially encountering content you find offensive or inappropriate. We may include venue and content rules as Additional Terms. If you discover any content that violates these Terms or any applicable Additional Terms, then you may report it here. For alleged infringements of intellectual property rights, see Section 4.

- DMCA Notice. Ludia asks our users to respect the intellectual property rights of others.

In Ludia’s sole discretion, Ludia may remove content that may be infringing on another person’s intellectual property rights with or without notice to the potential infringer. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law,
Ludia has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. - If we remove or disable access in response to a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice, we will make a good faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected content so that they may make a counter-notification. If you own a copyright in a work (or represent such a copyright owner) and believe that your (or such owner’s) copyright in that work has been infringed by an improper posting or distribution of it via the App, then you may send us a written notice that includes all of the following:

- DISPUTE RESOLUTIONCertain portions of this Section 10 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. You and Ludia agree that we intend that this Section 10 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 10 can only be amended by mutual agreement.
Certain provisions of this Section 10 are not applicable to you with respect to an App feature you purchased if you are a consumer residing in Quebec. The application of this section may also be limited for residents of other Canadian jurisdictions to the extent required by applicable law.
-
- First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the App, the Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of Ludia’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 10.A. Your notice to us must be sent to: Ludia, Inc., 410 St-Nicolas Street, Suite 400, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 2P5, (Attn: Legal Department). For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Ludia and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Ludia to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Ludia, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
- Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 10.A (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND LUDIA (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT, OR NEGLIGENCE – COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT, SERVICE OR ADVERTISING CONNECTED TO THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE SERVICE. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), not state law, shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Ludia and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the App. Ludia and you agree, however, that except for Canadian residents, New York state and United States of America (U.S.A.) federal law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and Ludia regarding these Terms and the App, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to New York’s choice of law principles that might apply other states’ laws.Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If a party properly submits the Dispute to the AAA for formal arbitration and the AAA is unwilling to get a hearing then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) using JAMS’ streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of Ludia consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then for residents of the U.S.A. it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. For residents of countries other than the U.S.A. and Canada, the arbitration will be held in New York, New York, U.S.A., unless Ludia consents to another location. Subsections B – E of this Section 10 do not apply to Canadian residents. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Ludia to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 10 to be enforceable, then Ludia will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and any Additional Terms, will be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, will determine any Dispute according to the applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the App.
- Limited Time To File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT AN EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.A) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
- Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 will not apply to any legal action taken by Ludia to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the App, any Content, UGC, and/or Ludia’s intellectual property rights (including such Ludia may claim that may be in dispute), Ludia’s operations, and/or Ludia’s products or services.
- No Class Action Matters. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. YOU AND LUDIA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought to a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 10.B to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 10.G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of this Section 10.E, including the class action waiver provisions contained herein, are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator.
- Small Claims Matters Are Excluded From Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court, subject to Section 10.F.
- Applicable Courts. Except to the extent that arbitration is required in Section 10.B, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute may only be instituted in state or Federal court in New York, New York; provided, however, that actions and proceedings involving Canadian residents may be initiated in the province or territory in which you are a resident. Accordingly, you and Ludia consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
