7. PRODUCT INFORMATION
All descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products and prices of products and services described or depicted on the Service are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain weights, measures, and other descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. The inclusion of any products or services on the Service does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the receipt, possession, use, and sale of any item purchased from the Service. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner. All games and similar products sold are for private, non-public, home use (where no admission fee is charged) and may not be duplicated. LGO reserves the right, with or without prior notice, to do any one or more of the following: (i) limit the available quantity of or discontinue any product or service; (ii) impose conditions on the honoring of any coupon, coupon code, promotional code, or other similar promotion; (iii) bar any user from making or completing any or all transaction(s); and (iv) refuse to provide any user with any product or service. You agree to pay all charges that may be incurred by you or on your behalf through the Service, at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred including, without limitation, all shipping and handling charges. In addition, you remain responsible for any taxes that may be applicable to your transactions.
Colors. We strive to display as accurately as possible the colors of the products shown on the Service; however, we cannot and do not guarantee that your monitor’s display of any color will be accurate.
Availability, Errors & Inaccuracies. LGO’s acknowledgement of an order means that your order request has been received; it does not mean that your order has been accepted or shipped or that the price or availability of an item has been confirmed. We make a conscientious effort to describe and display products and services accurately on the Service. Despite these efforts, a small number of items on the Service may be mispriced, described inaccurately or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating information on the Service and in our advertising. As a result, we cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including prices, product images, specifications, availability, and services. We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice. We apologize for any inconvenience. If we determine that there were inaccuracies in our product information, we will cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation via email.
Game Ratings. LGO participates in the video and computer game industry’s standardized rating system developed by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). ESRB ratings are placed on game packaging to let you know the nature of the content and the ages for which the game or movie is appropriate. You can find this information on the item description page for the game, and you can also learn more by going to ESRB Guidelines. Games rated "M: Mature" are intended for mature audiences only and are noted as such on our website. By ordering any "M: Mature" rated game or certain "RP: Rating Pending" games, you are certifying that you are at least 17 years of age.
8. PURCHASES

YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PURCHASE. By submitting such information, you grant to Local Games the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of purchases initiated by you or on your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any purchase.
9. REFUNDS, EXCHANGES, AND RETURNS
Refunds, exchanges, and returns are subject to our Refund, Exchange, and Return Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. Please review our policy for more information.
10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Governing Law and Venue. Subject to and without waiving the arbitration provision below, This Agreement shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of California without regard to its conflict of law principles, and the proper venue for any judicial action arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California (a “Court of Competent Jurisdiction”). You and LGO stipulate to, and waive any objection to, the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and submit to extraterritorial service of process. If you reside outside the U.S. and bring a claim against LGO outside the U.S., applicable laws may authorize you to bring a claim against LGO, which shall be brought in your individual capacity, in the forum where you reside.
Arbitration Provision. If you and LGO cannot resolve a claim through informal negotiations, the claim shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. “Claim(s)” means any claim or dispute between the parties and/or their parents, subsidiaries, affiliated companies, employees, agents, officers, owners, directors, successors, and/or assigns (who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this arbitration provision) arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Service. This arbitration provision is reciprocal, and any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. This arbitration provision, including the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted through JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) under its Streamlined Rules, as modified by this arbitration provision. The parties shall each participate in the selection of a neutral arbitrator pursuant to the Streamlined Rules. If JAMS is unavailable to arbitrate, you and LGO agree to arbitrate using an alternative arbitral forum. All remedies available to the parties under applicable laws shall remain available in arbitration. All issues, including the interpretation and enforceability of this arbitration provision, shall be determined by the arbitrator. Unless you and LGO agree otherwise in writing, the final arbitration hearing shall take place in person at the JAMS facility located in or nearest to your city of residence, provided that either party may elect to have the arbitration conducted by video conference or telephone. If you initiate arbitration against LGO, you will be required to pay an initial fee of $250 (unless you qualify for a waiver), and all other arbitration costs (including any remaining Case Management Fee and fees for the arbitrator’s services) shall be paid as determined by the arbitrator. If LGO initiates arbitration against you, LGO shall pay all costs associated with the arbitration. Regardless, you and LGO will each pay your own attorney’s fees and costs unless an award of attorney’s fees is available under applicable statute.
The arbitrator’s award will consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim. The award will also provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Either party may seek relief in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to stay proceedings pending arbitration, to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator, or for injunctive relief in aid of arbitration. You agree that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial.
Waiver of Class Actions. YOU AND LGO (INCLUDING ANY THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES) MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL PROVISION. UNLESS YOU AND LGO AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS; AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS.
Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief. This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or LGO from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or LGO from applying to a Court of Competent Jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary.
11. THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY SITES
LGO may provide content of third parties ("Third Party Content"), or links to Third Party Sites, as a service to those interested in this information. LGO does not monitor, approve or have any control over any Third-Party Content or the Third-Party Sites and the inclusion of links to Third Party Content or Third-Party Sites does not imply any association or relationship between LGO and such third party. LGO does not guarantee, endorse or adopt the accuracy or completeness of any Third-Party Content or any Third-Party Site. LGO is not responsible for updating or reviewing Third Party Content or Third-Party Sites. You use Third Party Content and Third-Party Sites at your own risk.
12. DISLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
LGO IS PROVIDING THE SERVICE ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE, THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS OR PRODUCTS, AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LGO DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING FOR EXAMPLE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN ADDITION, LGO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE INFORMATION ACCESSIBLE VIA THE SERVICE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE OR CURRENT.
Please note that some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties and conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you but shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws. Price and availability information is subject to change without notice.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES
IN NO EVENT SHALL LGO OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM YOUR USE WITH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, LOSS OF PRIVACY, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORESEEABILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES OR OF ANY ADVICE OR NOTICE GIVEN TO LGO OR ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DAMAGES ARISE OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY OR FORM OF ACTION. YOU AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN LGO AND YOU. THE SERVICE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.
14. APPLICATION OF DISCLAIMERS
The above disclaimers, waivers, and limitations do not in any way limit any other disclaimer of warranties or any other limitation of liability in any other agreement between you and LGO or between you and any of LGO 's licensors and suppliers. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the above disclaimers, waivers, and limitations of liability may not apply to you. LGO 's licensors and suppliers are intended third-party beneficiaries of these disclaimers, waivers, and limitations. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you through the Service or otherwise shall alter any of the disclaimers or limitations stated in section.
15. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless LGO (and its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, employees and third-party service providers), from all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, obligations and damages including reasonable legal fees, arising out of (a) your misuse of the Service; (b) your violation of any term of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party (including, without limitation, any copyright, property or privacy right). This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your misuse of the Service.
16. TERMINATION
LGO reserves the right, without notice and at its sole discretion, to terminate your use of the Service and to block or prevent future access to and use of the Service (i) if you violate any of these Terms, (ii) for any other reason or (iii) for no reason. Upon any such termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.
You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service. Upon termination, all provisions of these Terms which are by their nature intended to survive termination, all representations and warranties, all limitations of liability and all indemnities shall survive such termination.
17. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS
This Agreement is the entire agreement between LGO and you concerning the Service. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. Should any part of this Agreement be declared invalid, void, or unenforceable by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, and this Agreement is severable. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement, or any breach, in any one instance, will not waive that term or condition or any later breach. This Agreement and all of your rights and obligations under it will not be assignable or transferable by you without the prior written consent of LGO. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by this Agreement. Except where expressly stated herein, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only. These Terms apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. You may have other rights and remedies not outlined above. These Terms and any offers are void where prohibited. Neither party will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement where the delay or failure results from any cause beyond that party’s reasonable control, including “acts of God,” labor disputes or other industrial disturbances, electrical or power outages, utilities or other telecommunications failures, pandemics, epidemics, earthquake, storms, or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
