b. Gold Coins and Sweep Coins

From time to time, we may run a promotion whereby we offer Sweep Coins to you, for example, if you purchase Gold Coins or engage in other qualifying activities as described in our Promo Rules, available at www.TaoSweeps.com/promorules. Sweep Coins are never available for purchase. Sweep Coins may be used to play Sweep Coin Games. The only thing that can be won when playing the games using Sweep Coins are more Sweep Coins (“Redeemable Sweep Coins”), which may then be exchanged for Prizes or used to play Sweep Coin Games. Unused Sweep Coins are not eligible for any refund or exchange. Sweep Coins may be deleted from inactive accounts after 180 days. You may not offer Sweep Coins for sale, assign or transfer to any third party or attempt to do any of the foregoing.

You understand and agree that (i) your account balance of Sweep Coins and Gold Coins may not be returned or paid to you if TaoSweeps.com becomes insolvent, (ii) TaoSweeps.com does not pay interest on account balances, and (iii) account balances and transactions are only reported to you through TaoSweeps.com, and we are under no obligation to issue any other report regarding your account balance or transactions.

If you exchange Sweep Coins for a Prize and request to redeem that Prize, we will issue payment to you in your selected payment method for any monies to be redeemed during the preceding pay period, or otherwise associated with your account, provided you have met the Minimum Payment Threshold, as defined in the Promo Rules. You are also subject to the Maximum Redemption Request associated with the Loyalty Program, as defined in the Promo Rules. However, you understand and agree that only the net winnings of Sweep Coins during any given day (i.e. Redeemable Sweep Coins) are eligible to be exchanged for Prizes. You cannot exchange the amount of Sweep Coins that were played in any day for cash Prizes.

You are responsible for providing accurate online account or payment method details, identifying where Prizes will be sent. All users are automatically required to comply with the standard due diligence requirements detailed in our AML/CTF Policy available at: www.TaoSweeps.com/amlpolicy. You must own or control the account associated with your payment method, and you agree to provide us with such information as we may request to confirm your ownership or control. You cannot receive a Prize until you have met the Minimum Payment Threshold, as defined in the

Promo Rules. In the event we receive notice of any lien or encumbrance against your account, we may suspend payouts until such lien or encumbrance is satisfied or discharged. We may set off any liability, damages, costs, or expenses that we incur arising from or relating to your breach of these Terms and Conditions against any money that we owe to you under these Terms and Conditions. We may also adjust or deduct the monies transferred to your account for any reason, at any time, without advance warning or notice, including retroactively. The most common reasons for transfer adjustments include chargebacks, fraud, conduct violations, third party liens, garnishments, and technical errors.

c. Taxes

You shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, and we will not be responsible for any federal, state, or provincial income tax withholding, unemployment contribution, workers compensation, Medicare / Medicaid, or any employment-related benefits. If requested, you will provide us with a Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number, so that the appropriate IRS form may be issued where required by law. Failure to provide such information to us may result in termination of these Terms and Conditions.

d. Cryptocurrency

We may permit you to pay for Gold Coins on TaoSweeps.com using one or more cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin. Acceptance of such payment method is in our sole discretion and may be of limited duration. Any payment in cryptocurrency is irreversible. All sales are final, and cryptocurrency payments are non-refundable. Additional administrative fees may apply to cryptocurrency transactions. By paying for Gold Coins in cryptocurrency, you acknowledge that the value of cryptocurrencies is highly volatile and that there is a substantial risk of loss associated with using cryptocurrencies. You consent to the risk that the value of cryptocurrencies may be influenced by activity outside our control, including fluctuating public interest in cryptocurrencies, potential regulation of cryptocurrencies, and risks associated with hardware, software, or Internet connection issues, malicious software, unauthorized access, or other communication failures, disruptions, errors, distortions, and delays. We do not represent, guarantee, or warrant the accuracy or fairness of the value of any cryptocurrency. You are solely responsible for making your own independent appraisal and investigations into the value of any purchase of sale on TaoSweeps.com.

e. Third-Party Payment Processing

We utilize various third-party payment processors, cryptocurrency exchanges, or online wallet services, and we reserve the right to contract with additional such services in our sole discretion to process all payments and Prizes associated with TaoSweeps.com. Such third parties may impose additional terms and conditions governing payment processing. You are responsible for abiding by such terms. We further disclaim any liability associated with your violation of such terms.

f. Changes to Your Billing and Payment Information

You must promptly inform our third-party billing and payment agents of all changes, including changes in your address, debit or credit card, and other banking information used in connection with billing or payments through TaoSweeps.com. You are responsible for any debit or credit card charge backs, dishonored checks, and any related fees that we incur with respect to your account, along with any additional fees or penalties imposed by our third-party billing or payment agents.

g. Refunds

All sales are final. You understand and agree that all purchases of Gold Coins, whether used or unused, are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law.

h. Billing and Payment Errors

If you believe that you have been erroneously billed for activity associated with your account, or if you believe that we have paid you an insufficient amount for any activity associated with your account, please notify our third-party billing or payment agents immediately of such error. If you do not do so within thirty (30) days after such billing or payment error first appears on any account statement, the fee or payment in question will be deemed acceptable by you for all purposes, including resolution of inquiries made by or on behalf of your banking institution. You release us from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not reported within thirty (30) days of the bill or payment being rendered to you. These terms shall supplement and be in addition to any terms required by third party billing or payment entities we engage to provide billing or payment services. You are responsible for review and compliance with such entity’s terms in addition to those contained in these Terms and Conditions.

i. Fraudulent Use of Credit Cards

We take credit card fraud very seriously. Discovery that you have used a stolen or fraudulent credit card will result in the notification of the appropriate law enforcement agencies and termination of your account.

5. Dispute Resolution, Agreement to Arbitrate, and Damages

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT REQUIRES YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

a. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and Conditions and all matters arising out of, or otherwise relating to, these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the state of Florida, and United States federal law, excluding any conflict of law provisions.

After the informal dispute resolution process described below has been exhausted, and only in the event that the arbitration agreement is found not to apply to your dispute, all Parties stipulate that the courts located in Orange County, Florida shall have personal jurisdiction over them for resolution of any litigation permitted by these Terms and Conditions. All Parties to these Terms and Conditions agree that all legal actions or proceedings arising in connection with these Terms and Conditions or any services or business interactions between the Parties that may be subject to these Terms and Conditions but which are not otherwise subject to arbitration, shall be brought exclusively in Orange County, Florida. The Parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in, and only in, Orange County, Florida. The Parties additionally agree that this choice of venue and forum is mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding any possibility of litigation between the Parties with respect to, or arising out of, these Terms and Conditions in a jurisdiction other than that specified in this paragraph. All Parties hereby waive any right to assert the doctrine of forum non-conveniens or similar doctrines challenging venue or jurisdiction, or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph or with respect to any dispute under these Terms and Conditions whatsoever. You agree to accept service of process by registered or certified mail, Federal Express, or Priority Mail, with proof of delivery or return receipt requested, sent to your last known address for any legal action arising from these Terms and Conditions. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the below dispute resolution and arbitration agreement.

Any final judgment rendered against you or us in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive as to the subject matter and may be enforced in the courts located in Orange County, Florida or other jurisdictions in any manner provided by law if such enforcement becomes necessary.

b. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

If you have a dispute with us arising out of or otherwise relating to your use of the Platform, including any Prizes and these Terms and Conditions, you shall confer with us and negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting our Live Support. This informal dispute resolution process is a prerequisite and condition precedent to commencing any formal dispute resolution proceeding. The parties agree that any applicable statute of limitations period and filing fees or other deadlines will be tolled while the parties engage in this informal dispute resolution process. If you are unable to resolve the dispute with us within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the written description of your dispute, then, except as otherwise provided herein, either party may submit the issue to binding arbitration in accordance with the then-existing Streamlined Rules of JAMS.

AFTER THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS, ARBITRATION, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS HEREIN, IS THE SOLE MEANS TO RESOLVE CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND HIGH ROLLERS. Arbitral Claims shall include, but are not limited to, contract and tort claims of all kinds, including any question regarding the existence, validity, enforceability, or termination of these Terms and/or this section as well as the decision of whether a dispute should or can be arbitrated, and all claims based on any federal, state or local law, statute, or regulation, excepting only claims by us for intellectual property infringement, actions for injunctions, attachment, garnishment, and other equitable relief. The arbitration shall be confidential. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, knowledgeable in Internet and e-Commerce disputes. The arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict of law provisions. The arbitrator shall be willing to execute an oath of neutrality. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages; certify a class action; add any parties; vary or ignore the provisions of these Terms and Conditions; and shall be bound by governing and applicable law. The arbitrator shall render a written opinion setting forth all material facts and the basis of his or her decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding. The arbitration award may be enforced in any jurisdiction, under applicable law. There shall be no waiver of the right to arbitration unless such waiver is provided affirmatively and in writing by the waiving party to the other party. There shall be no implied waiver of this right to arbitration. No acts, including the filing of litigation, shall be construed as a waiver or a repudiation of the right to arbitrate.

Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law.

c. Waivers

You and we hereby waive any argument that JAMS is an inconvenient forum or otherwise incompetent or without authority or jurisdiction to hear any dispute.

d. Arbitration to Proceed Individually; Waiver of Collective Action; Right to Opt-Out

Both parties agree that an arbitration or any other proceeding to resolve a dispute shall proceed in an individual capacity only, and neither party may bring a dispute as a collective action. Unless you and TaoSweeps.com both agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or engage in any collective action. Without limiting the foregoing, a claim to resolve a dispute will be deemed a collective action if claims are filed or pursued concurrently by or on behalf of two or more and counsel for the two or more persons is the same, or share fees, or coordinate in any way. For the purposes of this clause, “concurrently” means the claims are pending (filed but not resolved) at the same time.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR HIGH ROLLERS WILL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES; TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY GROUP, CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR MASS ARBITRATION OR LITIGATION; TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS; TO ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY; OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK TO RECOVER LOSSES OR DAMAGES (WHETHER FOR YOURSELF OR OTHERS) INCURRED BY A THIRD PARTY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS PARAGRAPH OF SECTION 5 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, AND DAMAGES) ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE IN A PARTICULAR DISPUTE, THEN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (BUT NOT THOSE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 APPLICABLE TO LITIGATION) MAY BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT FOR PURPOSES OF THAT DISPUTE, UPON EITHER PARTY'S ELECTION.

BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO (1) A JURY TRIAL; AND (2) PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. IF A COURT DECIDES THAT APPLICABLE LAW PRECLUDES ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THIS PARAGRAPH’S LIMITATIONS AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM FOR RELIEF, THEN THAT CLAIM (AND ONLY THAT CLAIM) MUST BE SEVERED FROM THE ARBITRATION AND MAY BE BROUGHT IN COURT.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THESE TERMS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS SECTION (DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, AND DAMAGES) IS FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS SECTION, EXCEPT THIS SENTENCE, MAY, UPON HIGH ROLLERS’ SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE ELECTION, BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT, SUBJECT TO HIGH ROLLERS’ RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF SUCH CLAUSE OR PORTION.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5 (Dispute Resolution, Agreement to Arbitrate, and Damages), either you or we may bring an action in a court for temporary injunctive relief until an arbitrator has been empaneled and can determine whether to continue, terminate or modify such relief.

RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions of this section by sending written notice, signed by you, of your decision to opt-out to the following address: High Rollers of St Lucie Inc. (email support@taosweeps.com for the mailing address). The notice must be sent within 30 days of your agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, or Jan 5th, 2026, whichever is later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, High Rollers will not be bound by them as to you or any disputes or claims you bring. If you do not opt-out of this Section (Dispute Resolution, Agreement to Arbitrate, and Damages) within the specified time period, you will be deemed to have accepted the arbitration provisions. For avoidance of doubt, if you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, the limitations and restrictions in this Section 5 applicable to litigation shall continue to apply to you. Additionally, if you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, and at the time of your receipt of these Terms and Conditions you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate disputes arising out of or related to your use of or access to the Platform, that existing arbitration agreement will remain in full force and effect. In other words, if you are bound by an agreement to arbitrate at the time you opt out of this one, that prior agreement to arbitrate will continue to apply to you.

THIS SECTION (DISPUTE RESOLUTION, AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, AND DAMAGES) SURVIVES THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ANY REASON.

e. Rights to Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide us with full compensation in the event you breach these Terms and Conditions, and that we shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive relief in the event of any such breach, in addition to seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity.

f. Additional Fees

If we are required to enlist the assistance of an attorney, investigator, collections agent, or other person to collect any damages or any other amount of money from you, or if we are required to seek the assistance of an attorney to pursue injunctive relief against you, then you additionally agree that you will reimburse us for all fees incurred in order to collect these damages or in order to seek injunctive relief from you. You understand that even a nominal amount of damages may require the expenditure of extensive legal fees, travel expenses, costs, and other amounts that may dwarf the damages themselves. You agree that you will pay these fees and costs.
