Plain-English summary

Furthermore, if a deposit is charged back, any resulting negative account balance will be considered an uncontestable debt owed by the user (risk_flags-0005).

If any Deposit is charged back, any winnings generated from Contests shall be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from your Account balance or seized from any bank account into which you have deposited the Prizes. In addition, the amount of the initial Deposit will be invalidated, forfeited and deducted from the Account balance. In the event that, following such deductions, your Account balance is in a negative balance, you expressly acknowledge and agree that such negative balance shall constitute an uncontestable debt payable by you to us, due and payable immediately.
