1. Subscriptions, Auto-Renewal, and Cancellation

• Auto-Renewal. Paid subscriptions may be required to access our Services. By signing up for a subscription, you agree that your subscription will be automatically renewed and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorize us to collect the applicable fees via your payment method for the renewal term.  The period of auto-renewal will be the same as your initial subscription period unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of sale.  The renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior subscription period, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless we notify you of a rate change prior to your auto-renewal.

• Free Trials. From time to time, we may offer a free trial
  subscription for certain Services.  If
  you register for a free trial subscription, we will automatically begin to bill
  your account when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel
  your subscription before that time.

• Cancellation.  When you subscribe to the Services, you have the right to cancel your subscription at any time by contacting us at [email protected] or 401 Park Avenue South, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10016.  If you cancel your subscription within fourteen (14) days after you register an account, you will receive a full refund of the subscription fee paid. If we refund your subscription fee, you will still be obligated to pay other charges incurred.  We do not provide refunds for cancellations that occur 14 days after registering an account.  If you wish to cancel, you must do so by sending us written notice of your cancelation to [email protected] or 401 Park Avenue South, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10016.

• The rates and charges imposed by us for subscriptions are set at our
  discretion and subject to change. If you pay a periodic subscription fee for
  any Services, we will provide you with reasonable notice of changes to the fees
  or billing methods in advance of their effective date and you will be able to
  cancel your subscription prior to such change. 
  All pricing is exclusive of any taxes or other fees that you may owe.

• When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information.  We reserve the right to utilize third-party credit card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards.

7. Competitions

Competitions
or contests that you enter on the Services may have supplemental rules and
conditions, but the following general rules apply absent contrary terms in any
supplemental rules or conditions for the competition.

• Entries.  Your competition entry is User Content and subject to all provisions of these Terms that govern your submission and our use of your User Content.  We may disqualify entries that are late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, lost, illegible or invalid or containing false information.  Competition entries are limited to one per person and entries via agents or third parties or the use of multiple identities are not permitted.  Use of automated entries, votes or other programs is prohibited and all such entries (or votes) will be disqualified.
  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel or terminate a competition or extend or resume the entry period or disqualify any participant or entry at any time without giving advance notice.  We will do so if it cannot be guaranteed the competition can be carried out fairly or correctly for technical, legal or other reasons, or if we suspect that any person has manipulated entries or results, provided false information or acted unethically.  If we cancel or terminate a competition, prizes may be awarded in any manner we deem fair and appropriate consistent with local laws governing the competition.
  • Participation in any competition constitutes full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these Terms and the decisions of Guru Fantasy Reports, which are final and binding. Winning a prize is contingent on fulfilling all requirements set forth herein.

• Eligibility.  Our
  competitions are open only to residents of the United States who are 18 years
  of age or older at the time of entry. Unless otherwise provided, to enter a
  competition you must be a registered or subscribed user of the Services and
  have an active account with current contact information. No purchase is
  necessary to enter a competition and a purchase will not improve your chances
  of winning.  Competitions are not open to
  our employees (or their immediate families) or anyone else professionally
  associated with the competition. We reserve the right to request proof of age
  or identity or to verify eligibility conditions and potential winning entries,
  and to award any prize to a winner in person. 
  Competitions are subject to all applicable federal, state, and local
  laws and regulations. Competitions are void where prohibited or restricted by
  law.

• Prizes.  Winners will be notified via the contact information that you provide when you register or subscribe to the Services, or via social media, depending on the competition. You will be required to contact us within forty-eight (48) hours if you have been notified you are a winner.
  • No cash or alternative prizes are available, except that we (or the party providing a prize) reserve the right to substitute a similar prize of equal or greater value.  Prizes cannot be transferred or sold by winners.  Only the number of prizes stated for the competition are available to be won and all prizes will be awarded, provided a sufficient number of eligible entries are received and prizes are validly claimed by the date provided in connection with the competition, after which no alternate winners will be selected or unclaimed prizes awarded.  Unless otherwise disclosed in the prize description prior to entry, winners are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with claiming a prize.  All taxes are solely the responsibility of each winner, although we reserve the right to withhold applicable taxes and each winner agrees to complete any required tax forms.
  • Your acceptance of a prize constitutes agreement to participate in reasonable publicity related to the competition and grants us an unconditional right to us to use your name, town or city and state, province or country, likeness, prize information and statements by you about the competition for publicity, advertising and promotional purposes and to comply with applicable law and regulations, all without additional permission or compensation.  As a condition of receiving a prize, winners (or their parents or guardians) may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, liability release and publicity release.
