11. Important health warning about photosensitive seizures
11.1. Certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games or other online activities, can trigger seizures in a small percentage of people. Even those without a history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while playing video games. If you or your students experience symptoms such as lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness, stop playing immediately and consult a doctor. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling or striking nearby objects. Parents and teachers should watch for these symptoms and ask children about them. To reduce the risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures, consider the following precautions:
-
Play in a well-lit room
-
Avoid playing if you are feeling fatigued or drowsy
11.2. Please consult a doctor before playing video games or other screen-focused activities if you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy.

14. Dispute Resolution
14.1. If you are a user located in Singapore, any dispute related to these Terms and Conditions (including the Privacy Policy) shall be resolved through arbitration in Singapore, in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules"), which are incorporated by reference in this clause. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and presided over by one arbitrator.
14.2. For users located in the United States, please carefully review the section "Arbitration and dispute resolution; class action waiver," as it is part of your contract with us and affects your rights. This section includes procedures for mandatory binding arbitration and a waiver of class action.
15. Arbitration and dispute resolution; class action waiver
15.1. This section allows for efficient resolution of any disputes between Ottodot and its users. In the event of any dispute, including but not limited to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based on tort, fraud, misrepresentation, or contract, arising from or related to the Services, these Terms, or their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, formation, or validity, both parties agree to the following resolution process. The arbitrator will decide all issues, including those related to the scope, conscionability, severance, and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement involves interstate commerce. Despite the substantive law applicable to any arbitration, any arbitration under this Agreement will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, which also governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate.
15.2. The parties acknowledge that resolving disputes through informal efforts can often result in a mutually beneficial outcome. Therefore, before either party initiates arbitration proceedings, we agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any claim covered by this arbitration agreement through a personal meeting or videoconference. If you have legal representation, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you must also attend. The party initiating the claim must provide written notice to the other party of their intention to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which must take place within 30 days of the other party receiving such notice, unless both parties mutually agree to an extension. To inform Ottodot of your intention to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, send an email to info@ottodot.com, including your name, contact information, a description of your claim, and a proposed resolution. Fulfilling the condition of engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is necessary before commencing arbitration, and the arbitrator shall dismiss any arbitration demand filed before completion of the informal dispute resolution conference.
15.3. In the event that an agreed-upon resolution is not reached within 30 days of the informal dispute resolution conference, both you and Ottodot consent to binding arbitration as the sole means of resolving the Dispute, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in effect at the time. The arbitration proceedings will be presided over by a single neutral arbitrator who is a lawyer or retired judge, and will be conducted in accordance with the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will base their decision solely on applicable law, the terms of this Agreement, and any relevant evidence presented on the record. The arbitrator's decision will be accompanied by a reasoned explanation.
15.4. Alternative Dispute Resolution. In arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will resolve any disputes submitted by the parties. Unlike in court, there is no judge or jury, and the arbitration proceedings are subject to confidentiality rules. The parties have the right to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing at their own expense. If an in-person arbitration hearing is necessary, it will take place in the metropolitan statistical area where the party submitting the dispute resides at the time of submission. The parties will share the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. Discovery will be allowed in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules. The arbitrator's decision will consist of a written statement that provides the disposition of each claim and the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and any award are based. The arbitration decision and award may be entered into any court with jurisdiction over the parties.
15.5. Exclusion of Small Claims Matters. Notwithstanding the arbitration provision, you and Ottodot reserve the right to seek resolution of any Dispute in a small claims court that has jurisdiction and that is pursued on an individual, non-class basis. We will not require arbitration for any individual Dispute that you lawfully initiate and pursue in a small claims court, as long as that Dispute is exclusively pending in that court.
15.6. Injunctive Relief. This agreement to resolve disputes through arbitration does not apply to any legal action taken by either party to seek injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
15.7. Timing of Claim. To facilitate the prompt resolution of any Disputes, you and Ottodot acknowledge that any notice of intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference or any complaint related to small claims or injunctive relief that is allowed under this Agreement must be filed within one year after the events giving rise to the Dispute occurred. Failure to do so within this time period will result in the waiver of the Dispute.
15.8. No Class Actions. Both you and Ottodot agree that any claims against each other must be made individually and not as part of a class or representative action or proceeding. Additionally, any disputes will only be resolved through individual arbitration and cannot be combined with any other arbitrations or proceedings involving claims or controversies of other parties. The arbitrators may only provide relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to address that party's individual claims.
15.9. Opt-out. You have the option to reject this arbitration agreement by sending a written notice (Exclusion Notice) within 30 days after agreeing to this Agreement, by email to info@ottodot.com. The Exclusion Notice must include your name, address, and signature to be effective. If you choose to opt-out of the arbitration agreement, all other provisions of the Agreement will still apply. This decision does not affect any other arbitration agreements you may have or enter into with Ottodot.
15.10. Survival of Arbitration Agreement. You and Ottodot both agree that even if this Agreement or any membership or account you have with Ottodot is terminated, the agreement to arbitrate will still remain valid and enforceable.
15.11. Severance of Arbitration Agreement. If the arbitrator determines that any of the limitations in this arbitration agreement are not enforceable under applicable law with respect to a particular claim for relief, then that claim will be separated from the arbitration and may be pursued in court. Furthermore, if any part of this agreement to arbitrate is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable.
15.12. It is important to note that Ottodot's agreement to this arbitration agreement should not be interpreted as consenting to the jurisdiction of any court for claims that are unrelated to the use of the Services or this Agreement.
16. Indemnity
16.1. You agree to protect, indemnify and hold Ottodot, its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, and affiliates, as well as their employees, contractors, agents, officers, and directors, harmless from any claims, damages, obligations, losses, costs or debts, and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorney's fees) that arise from: (i) your use of and access to the Ottodot Content and/or the Services, including any data or content transmitted by you; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement, including but not limited to your breach of any representations or warranties; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including but not limited to any right of privacy or intellectual property rights in connection with your use of the Services; (iv) any content or information that is submitted via your account or use of the Services; or (v) any other party's access and use of the Services with your account credentials.
