Welcome to our Terms of Use Agreement. This Agreement governs your access to our proprietary algorithm and your use
of our website, which provides sports-related news, information, and recommendations to subscribers.
Algavision, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, having its principal place of business at 100 East Granada
Blvd., Suite 103, Ormond Beach, FL 32176, is the owner and operator of algavision.com and all affiliated sites,
(hereinafter “We”, “Us”, or the “Site”) and the Services the Site provides (the “Services”). This Terms of Use
agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legally binding agreement between You and Us, including any successor or affiliated
Site or entity, that governs Your use of the Site and the Services. As a user of the Site and/or Services, this
Agreement will refer to the user as “You” or through any second-person pronouns, such as “Your,” “Yours,” etc. For
the purposes of this Agreement, all Subscribers are Users, but not all Users are Subscribers. This Agreement applies
to all Users whether they are Subscribers or not. You become a User by accessing this Site or Services in any way.
You need not become a Subscriber of the Site to make this Agreement apply to You. You become a Subscriber by
registering with the Site for a User ID and password and paying the applicable Subscription Fee, as discussed below.
This Agreement applies (1) to the entire contents of this Site, (2) to any associated websites that We own or operate
and that We grant You access to as part of Your Subscription, (3) to any electronic message exchanged between You
and Us, and (4) to Your use of the information that We provide to You as part of Your Subscription. This
Agreement contains disclaimers of warranties, limitations on liability, releases, an arbitration agreement, and
a class-action waiver that are an essential basis of this Agreement. By accessing the Site, You
certify to Us that (1) You are at least twenty-one (21) years old, (2) You have the legal capacity to agree to
this Agreement and to perform the acts required therein, (3) You are a resident and/or citizen of the United

User.
Assent and Consideration – You demonstrate Your express consent to all the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, even if you do not read them, by checking the designated box and/or clicking on the
“I Agree” (or similar syntax) button. Consideration for Your acquiescence to all of the provisions in this Agreement

and/or Services. If You do not want to accept the terms of this Agreement, You must leave the Site immediately.
Browsers of the Site are bound by this Agreement if they continue to access or navigate the Site, even if they have

and may pursue additional legal remedies.
Revisions – We may revise these terms on one or more occasions by updating this Agreement. You agree
to check the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Agreement to determine if We have made any changes since You
last read this document. We will deem Your continued use of the Site after We post the changes as Your acceptance of
the changes. If You fail to periodically review this Agreement to determine if any of the terms have changed, You
assume all responsibility for Your failure to do so and You agree that such failure amounts to Your affirmative
waiver of Your right to review the amended terms. We are not responsible for Your neglect of Your legal rights.
NO ILLEGAL USE OF THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES

BILLING TERMS
- We reserve the right to make changes to Our fees and billing methods, including the addition of supplemental
charges for any content or services provided by the Site, with or without prior notice to You, at any time.
- Third Party Payment Processing – We utilize various third-party payment processors and gateways, and We
reserve the right to contract with additional third-party payment processors and gateways in Our sole
discretion to process any and all payments associated with the Site and/or Services. Such third party 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.
- You agree to pay any and all fees or account charges related to Your Subscription Plan, or any other purchases
and/or upgrades associated with Your account immediately when due in accordance with Our stated billing policy,
or that of Our third-party billing agent. You understand and agree that You are responsible for any and all fees
or penalties that are associated with Your account. Your account will be deemed past due if it is not paid in
full by the payment due date. If Your account remains unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after the invoice
date, You agree to pay interest on the past due amount at a monthly rate of one and a half percent (1.5%), or
the highest amount allowed by law, whichever is lower, compounded daily, plus any additional collection costs,
credits, charge backs and attorneys’ fees. Your card issuer agreement may contain additional terms with respect
to Your rights and liabilities as a card holder. You agree to pay any and all amounts due immediately upon
cancellation or termination of Your account.
- Changes to Your Billing Information – You must promptly inform our third-party billing agent of
all changes, including, but not limited to, changes in Your address and changes in Your credit card used in
connection with billing and/or payment for the Site and Services, if applicable. If You provide any information
that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if We or any of our authorized agents have reasonable
grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, We have the right to
suspend or terminate Your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site and Services, as well
as subjecting You to criminal and civil liability. You are responsible for any credit card charge backs,
dishonored checks and any related fees that the Site incurs with respect to Your account, along with any
additional fees and/or penalties imposed by our third-party billing agent. If You fail to reimburse Us for any

administrative or supplemental charges for any feature(s) or service(s), with or without prior notice to You.
- Refunds – You understand and agree that it is Our standard policy that purchases and/or fees
associated with Your Subscription are final and nonrefundable at this time. We reserve the right to address any
refund request in our sole discretion. PLEASE NOTE THAT CANCELATION OF A SUBSCRIPTION PLAN DURING THE
COURSE OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO A REFUND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SUBSCRIPTION
PERIOD; YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SITE AND SERVICES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CURRENT
SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
- Billing Errors – If You believe that You have been erroneously billed for activity associated
with Your account, please notify Our third-party billing agent immediately of such error. If You do not do so
within thirty (30) days after such billing error first appears on any account statement, the fee 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 being rendered to You. These terms shall
supplement and be in addition to any terms required by third party billing entities We engage to provide billing
services. You are responsible for review and compliance with such entity’s terms in addition to those contained
in this Agreement.
- Stolen Cards and Fraudulent Use of Credit Cards – We take credit card fraud very seriously.
Discovery that any Subscriber has used a stolen or fraudulent credit card will result in the notification of the

this Agreement 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, or to object to venue with respect to any litigation permitted under this Agreement.
- All parties stipulate that the state and federal courts located in Volusia County, Florida shall have
personal jurisdiction over them for the purpose of any litigation permitted under this Agreement that is
not otherwise subject to the arbitration provisions

action against it, as contemplated by this paragraph by registered or certified mail, Federal Express,
proof of delivery or return receipt requested, to the parties address for the giving of notices as set
forth in this Agreement.
Any final judgment rendered against a party in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive as to the subject
of such final judgment and may be enforced in other jurisdictions in any manner provided by law if such
enforcement becomes necessary.
- Right to Injunctive Relief. Both parties acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to
provide an aggrieved party with full compensation in the event of the other party’s breach, and that in
any litigation permitted under this Agreement, an aggrieved party shall therefore be entitled to seek
injunctive relief, in addition to seeking all other remedies available at law or in equity.
