Plain-English summary
This review of Scopely Explore's Terms of Service highlights several significant risks for users. The company reserves the right to terminate accounts without refund for breaches of terms (risk_flags-0001), meaning users could lose money spent on services if their account is terminated. Additionally, users waive their rights to class action lawsuits and jury trials (risk_flags-0003), instead agreeing to binding arbitration for disputes, which can limit legal recourse. A broad, perpetual license is granted for user-generated content, allowing Scopely Explore to use, modify, and distribute it for various purposes, including commercial use and creating derivative works, without further compensation (risk_flags-0005). Furthermore, users assume all risks when attending events and waive liability against Scopely Explore for any related injury, damage, or loss. The company also generally disclaims all warranties and limits its total liability for damages to a maximum of $1000 or £1000 (risk_flags-0008).

Account termination without refund for breaches
Scopely Explore may terminate a user's account for breaching the terms, and the user acknowledges that they will not be reimbursed or refunded for services lost due to involuntary suspension or termination of their account.
Why it matters: If your account is terminated for a breach of terms, you will not receive a refund for any services lost, potentially leading to financial loss for paid services or in-app purchases.
If you breach these Terms we may take action against you, including but not limited to terminating your account. You acknowledge that Scopely Explore has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse or refund you for Services lost due to involuntary suspension or termination of your account.

Waiver of jury trial in disputes
Users and Scopely Explore explicitly waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, opting instead for arbitration for all disputes, with limited exceptions.
Why it matters: You cannot have your case heard by a jury or judge in court, which may limit your ability to present your case and seek redress in a traditional legal setting.
YOU AND SCOPELY EXPLORE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Scopely Explore are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in subsection 13.1 above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

Why it matters: Your user-generated content can be used by Scopely Explore indefinitely, globally, and for commercial purposes, including creating new products or services based on your content, without further compensation or permission from you.
By making any User Content available through the Services you grant to Scopely Explore a nonexclusive, transferable, sublicenseable, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license (or, if not permitted under applicable law, a license for the whole duration, including for any extension thereof, of all relevant rights under any applicable law), to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, publicly display, publicly perform, market, promote and distribute your User Content in connection with operating and providing the Services and Content to you and to others. By accepting these terms, you allow Scopely Explore to benefit freely from the above rights, including but not limited to:
