Mandatory Mediation/Arbitration
Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or related to use of the Site,
including but not limited to alleged violations of state or federal statutory or
common law rights or duties (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved according to the procedures
set forth in this paragraph which shall constitute the sole dispute resolution mechanism
available. In the event that the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute after
meeting and attempting in good faith to reach a negotiated resolution, such Dispute(s)
shall first be mediated by a retired judge or justice of any San Diego County, California
state or federal court. If the parties are unable to agree upon a mediator, either
party may apply to the San Diego office of JAMS/Endispute, or its successor (“JAMS”)
for the appointment of a mediator from a panel of retired judges and justices maintained
by that organization.
If the parties are unable to resolve one or more Dispute(s)
by mediation, then either party may initiate arbitration of such Dispute(s). The
arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to the JAMS/Endispute Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedure in effect as of the date hereof, including the Optional
Appeal Procedure provided for in such rules (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration
shall be conducted in San Diego County, California before a single neutral arbitrator
appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Any appeal shall be heard and
decided by a panel of three neutral arbitrators. The neutral arbitrator and the
members of any Appeal Panel shall be retired judges or justices of any California
state or federal court. If either party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations
under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty
(30) days of such award being rendered, then the other party may enforce the final
award in any court of competent jurisdiction in San Diego County.
Any Dispute
or portion thereof, or any claim for a particular form of relief (not otherwise
precluded by any other provision of this Agreement), that may not be arbitrated
pursuant to applicable state or federal law may be heard in a court of competent
jurisdiction in San Diego County. If a party believes in good faith that all or
part of a Dispute, or any claim for relief or remedy sought, is not subject to arbitration
under then-prevailing law, then that party may seek a determination to that effect
from an appropriate court. If the court determines that the matter is not arbitrable
or that the remedy sought is not available in arbitration, then the specific matter
or request for remedy in question may be resolved by the court. All other matters
and claims for relief shall be subject to arbitration as set forth above.
Venue

of law. The parties specifically disclaim application of the Convention on Contracts

in the State of California in connection with any dispute between you and Upper
Deck arising out of these Terms and Conditions of Purchase or pertaining to the

UPPER DECK PRIVACY POLICY
At Upper Deck we are committed to protecting your privacy and we comply with the
applicable data protection laws. This privacy statement discloses how we collect
and use the personal data you provide us.
Policy Overview
Upper Deck may collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your
name, e-mail address and phone number ("Personally Identifiable Information") and
other information that, on its own, can not be used to identify you personally,
such as your age or state of residence ("Demographic Information") and/or any combination
of these. Information may be collected at multiple places on the Site, including
but not limited to main registration; contest entries, sweepstakes, or surveys;
or when you submit content or communications to the Site. If we use Demographic
Information together with any Personally Identifiable Information, such Demographic
Information will be treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.
Upper Deck reserves the right to collect and disclose (to our affiliates and to non-affiliate
third parties) Demographic and Personally Identifiable Information to the extent
permitted by applicable law, as specifically restricted in this Privacy Policy or
in any Upper Deck Terms of Use. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Privacy Policy or elsewhere, we reserve the right at all times, without notice,
to disclose any information in connection with a legally required court order or
a Change of Ownership.
Caution and common sense should be used at all times on
any Internet site. Giving out Personally Identifiable Information is not permitted
between participants on the Site and violations of this policy will result in immediate
removal of the information and/or at Upper Deck’s sole discretion, termination of
your use of the Site. Upper Deck has no control and specifically disclaims any liability
over third parties to whom you may give Personally Identifiable Information through
the use of our Site or otherwise post on the Site, including on your Public Profile.
Policy for children under 18 years of age
Information is gathered on the Site by Upper Deck to customize the Site to our users’
interests. User information helps us tailor content, services, goods and advertising.
If it becomes necessary for Upper Deck to gather personally identifiable information
from a citizen of a European Country under the age of 18, or a citizen of the United
States or Canada under the age of 13, verifiable parental consent will be required.
In such event you will be prompted to provide your parent or legal guardian's email
address prior to disclosing Personally Identifiable Information to Upper Deck so
that Upper Deck may obtain verifiable parental consent by contacting your parent
to obtain (1) a valid credit card; (2) executed consent document either by facsimile
or digital signature. Personally Identifiable information is not generally collected,
however some areas, such as order processing, require disclosure of Personally Identifiable
Information. In such event, you will be prompted to enter parental contact information.
To obtain this consent, Upper Deck will contact your parent or legal guardian via
the email provided and provide your parents with the ability to: (a) review the
personal information we have collected from you prior to any use by Upper Deck;
(b) refuse to allow any further collection or use of your personal data; and (c)
remove your records from our database. Upper Deck does not require children to provide
any more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in any of our Site
activities.
Until consent is provided, we will neither collect any additional
information about you nor use the information we have collected except for the purpose
of seeking consent. If we do not have your parent's consent within 30 days, we will
destroy all personal data we have received from you and you will not be able to
access services provided at areas requiring parental consent. Once parental consent
is provided, you will receive an e-mail message confirming that you have full access
to the services provided at these areas. This e-mail should be received within a
week of receiving your Parent's consent.
Even after a parent has given consent
for Upper Deck to collect personal information from his/her child, the parent may
at any time contact Upper Deck's Privacy Policy Administrator to review, alter or
delete information that was previously collected. A parent may revoke consent by
completing this form and either mailing or faxing it to Upper Deck's Privacy Policy
Administrator at the address or number listed below.
A Special Note about Children, Children’s Privacy and Our Compliance with COPPA
In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), we do
not intend to collect any Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen
(13) years of age without verifiable parental consent. Parental supervision is recommended
for use of any Internet site. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under
thirteen (13) and believe that he or she is using the Site in violation of Upper
Deck policy, please contact Upper Deck’s Privacy Policy Administrator by completing
this form.
Opt-Out and Termination
Upper Deck believes that our ability to share your Personal Information with certain
third parties improves our ability to provide services to you. However, if you object
to our sharing of your Personal Information or the personal information of your
child and would like to opt-out, at any time, even after disclosure, of sharing
of your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes,
or if you would like to exercise your right under the CAN-SPAM Act to not receive
future commercial (promotional/marketing) e-mail correspondence from us, except
with respect to your prior financial transactions or communications, or as otherwise
required by law, please complete and return the opt-out request available by following
the directions on the bottom of our e-mails to you.Further, if you would like to
terminate our use of your Personal Information on a going forward basis (except
as it relates to prior transaction and communications, our record keeping and our
compliance with law), there is also a place on that form to select that option.
Please note that in accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete
certain records that contain Personal Information you have submitted through the
Site. We are under no obligation to store such Personal Information indefinitely
and disclaim any liability arising out of, or related to, the destruction of such
Personal Information. In addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible
to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases without
some residual data because of backups and other reasons.
Your California Privacy Rights
Residents of the State of California, under certain provisions of the California
Civil Code, have the right to request from companies conducting business in California
a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal Information
during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law
provides that if the company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or
opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties for marketing
purposes, the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise
your disclosure choice options. Upper Deck has opted for the alternative option
and therefore provides you with the opportunity to opt-out or opt-in to the use
of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore,
we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of third parties that received
your Personal Information for marketing purposes.
What information is being collected?

information (such as name, e-mail address and date of birth) from you on a voluntary

financial information that is collected is used to bill you for products and services.

Your use of these areas is monitored and messages reviewed prior to posting. Please
remember that any information that is disclosed to any of these areas is public
information. Any attempt to post links, personal information or contact other users

desires to upgrade Player chat to dictionary-based “white” chat, registration is

or legal guardian via the email provided. At contact, your parent will be required
to provide either (1) a valid credit card number, or (2) an executed parental consent
form via facsimile or digital signature. Use of IP Addresses
An IP address is
a number that is automatically assigned to you whenever you access the Internet
and is often associated with the place where you enter the Internet like your Internet
Service Provider ("ISP"), your company or your university. This IP address may be
the same each time you access the Internet or it may change. Upper Deck collects
IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information
to its business partners, and to audit the use of the Site. We can and will use
IP addresses to identify a user and to gather broad demographic information. Please
review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose information you
are comfortable with sharing.

from seeing the same advertisements too many times and to conduct research regarding
the usefulness of certain advertisements to you. Note that any images (or any other
parts of a web page) served by third parties in association with these cookies and/or
technologies may serve as web beacons, which enable third parties to carry out the
previously described activities. Third party cookies, web beacons and other technologies
are governed by each third party's specific privacy policy. To opt-out, you will
need to access the Site and follow their opt-out procedures.

that enables our database to track your usage of the communication, including whether
the communication was opened and/or what links (if any) were clicked. We will combine
