Use of any BBO Property requires agreement to the Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, it is important that you do not use the BBO Properties. Your use of any BBO Property constitutes your confirmation of agreement to the Terms in effect at the time of your use.
We may provide notices regarding changes to the Terms or other matters by displaying such notices on the Site's home page or another BBO Property. You agree that you are responsible for reviewing all such notices to be aware of updates and changes.
The Terms will govern any upgrades or updates provided by BBO that replace and/or supplement the BBO Property unless such upgrade is accompanied by separate (and/or updated) Terms, in which case those Terms will govern.
These are just some of the examples of ways in which users have engaged in inappropriate conduct unfortunately and we know people can be very creative. Accordingly, BBO reserves the right to take action against any conduct BBO deems inappropriate taking place on or through the use of the BBO Properties in its sole and exclusive discretion, such as by barring the user on a short or long-term basis, or permanently. If a user is barred from a BBO Property, it is a violation of the Terms for such user to try to return.
You are solely responsible for any choice you make to register for the Site or BBO Property and if you choose not to provide the information, your access may be limited or non-available. If you do decide to provide us with the requested information, you represent and warrant that you will provide only true, current and accurate information.
You agree not to impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your identity or affiliation with any person or entity. From time to time, you may be asked to confirm your registration information (such as your email address) to continue using the applicable BBO Property. If you choose not to do so, your Account may be restricted or terminated. You agree to update your registration data to keep it current and accurate within a reasonable time after any change to that data.
When you choose an Account username or a group name, or otherwise create a label that can be seen by other users, you must abide by the following guidelines as well as the rules of common decency. If BBO finds such a name to be offensive or improper, it may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change or remove the name, and/or suspend or terminate your use of the service. You may not use any name:
Regardless of any other statement in these Terms, you acknowledge that your Account is not your property. BBO owns any Account created on the Site and gives you a limited license and the right to use your Account.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for all use of your Account. You must notify BBO immediately of any unauthorized use of your username, password, Account information, or any other breach of security that you become aware of relating to your Account.
For purposes of explanation and not limitation, many Account suspensions, terminations and/or deletions may be the result of violations of the Terms. However, BBO may suspend, terminate, modify and/or delete any account at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.
BBO takes pride in its work and its reputation for providing excellent bridge play opportunities and bridge-related entertainment options. Fair game play and safe user interaction are crucial to these objectives and transparency is one of the most effective tools BBO has to achieve these goals.
Accordingly, activity in connection with any BBO Property should not be considered private. BBO may monitor and/or record your communications, access records and gameplay, and all other user activity. You hereby acknowledge and agree that such monitoring is necessary and reasonable for BBO to provide the BBO Properties and you hereby provide your irrevocable, express consent to such monitoring and recording.
Your communications may also be viewed and/or heard by other users through some BBO Properties. Users should avoid revealing any personally identifiable information. BBO has no control over what you disclose nor any responsibility or obligation with respect to any disclosures you make to third parties, including other users of a BBO Property.
BBO may, without further notice to you, disclose your Internet Protocol (IP) address(es), personal information, and other information about you and your activities to third parties, including but not limited to legal authorities and third parties involved in games or tournaments, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Conditions of Contest and/or rules specific to any game you play on BBO Properties are also part of the Terms as to that specific game solely with respect to your obligations. You have no right to seek to enforce any provision or agreement with any tournament organizer or sponsor.
BBO may terminate an Account immediately and without notice for violations of bridge play guidelines or rules, or cheating. You have no right or entitlement to receive notice or any warning.
We maintain higher standards of conduct than most other online resources and we expect users to adhere to such standards. We will detail some common abusive practices on this page. Users should be aware this is not an exhaustive list of objectionable offenses and we reserve the right to take action against any other behavior taking place on BBO Properties.
First-time offenders may be given a warning that their behavior is not acceptable and put on probation. However, users should not expect to receive a warning and BBO may determine to terminate an Account immediately upon a first violation. In addition, multiple violations by users may result in permanent expulsion from BBO Properties. In the past we have seen users that have been expelled from BBO Properties attempt to regain access by, for instance, attempting to disguise their identities while registering for a new Account. This behavior is viewed as particularly egregious and we may seek the assistance of law enforcement to address such conduct or any other violations where we deem appropriate.
There is an area in user profiles where users can enter information about skill levels. Most bridge players are unable to assess their own skills with any accuracy so a better way to describe your skill is based on level of experience and the degree of success that you have had in live competitive clubs and tournaments. Here are some examples of terms that you can use and how they would typically be interpreted:
For instance, bridge players frequently disagree about what constitutes proper bidding and play (especially those that come from different parts of the world) and this can be even more challenging when adding language interpretation challenges as well. In view of this, please try to keep an open mind as a comment or action that offends you may be no more than a misunderstanding or language problem.
If you do not like how your partner bids or plays, the generally recommended approach is to finish the current hand (or tournament) and move on. There are a few situations where it is viewed as appropriate to leave a bridge table in the middle of a hand:
All members have the right to reject an undo, redeal, or claim request for any reason. Players are not required to explain why they have rejected such a request. Taking offense if your request is rejected is considered poor sportsmanship. If your undo, redeal or claim is rejected and you do not want to play at the current table anymore, finish the current deal and move on.
BBO Properties are designed so that players alert their own bids. This is called "self-alerting" and it is opposite to the approach that is used in live bridge clubs and tournaments. If you have any doubt as to whether one of your bids should be alerted or not, it is appropriate to alert.
We consider cheating in any form a serious offense and may take a variety of stern actions against cheaters which may include, without limitation, barring the member from certain games on BBO, forfeiting masterpoints won, reporting the offender to relevant National Bridge Organizations (NBOs), terminating their Account and more.
Some of our users want to take a more active role in this and, with our permission, they volunteer to help keep the peace, so to speak. They are referred to as BBO Hosts. If you would like to become a host, please contact us for more information.
You acknowledge that all BB$ licensed to you will expire if your Account becomes inactive (i.e., not logged into) for longer than three years. BBO may also choose to close your Account if it becomes inactive for such a period.
In the event of a technical error resulting in a delay of delivery of BB$ for longer than 24 hours, BBO will refund the purchase upon request so long as the BB$ remain unused. If your Account is charged and you did not receive the BB$ you purchased, or you were charged an incorrect amount, you may request a refund or correction in BB$. You agree to notify us about any billing problems or discrepancies within 10 days from the date of your purchase. If you do not bring them to our attention within 10 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. We will process the refund request as expeditiously as we are reasonably able. Requests for refunds for purchases made on our Site should be sent to sup...@bridgebase.com.
In the event your Account credentials have been compromised, please notify us immediately and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to reverse any unauthorized charges made at the Site. If the compromise results from our negligence or breach of the Terms, then we will reimburse you for any resulting loss, if you have timely notified us (as required by these Terms) of the charge.
BBO may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement its fees and billing methods, and post those changes in the Terms or elsewhere on the Site. Such modifications, amendments or supplements shall be effective immediately upon posting on the Site. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may cancel your Account at any time.
