MLB TAP SPORTS BASEBALL 2022 – INVITE FRIENDS PROGRAM TERMS AND CONDITIONS

PROGRAM TERMS: These terms and conditions (the “Program Terms”) apply to your participation in the MLB TAP SPORTS BASEBALL 22 Invite Friends program (“Program“) offered by Electronic Arts Inc. and its affiliates (“EA” or “we“). The Program is separate from any other rewards or loyalty program previously, currently, or at any point in the future, offered by EA or any of its affiliates (as applicable), and relates solely to EA’s mobile video game product titled MLB TAP SPORTS Baseball 2022 as available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Amazon App Store (the “Game”). Access to and use of the Game is conditioned upon your acceptance of EA’s User Agreement located at https://terms.ea.com (the “User Agreement”), and these Program Terms do not alter the User Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference and contains additional terms and conditions. By participating in the Program and/or using the Invite Friends feature in the Game, you agree to be bound by and comply with these Program Terms and the User Agreement. If you are under the legal age of majority in your state of residence (a “Minor”), one of your parents or legal guardians agrees that they have read, understood, and agree to these Program Terms, and that such agreement constitutes acceptance of these Program Terms on behalf of you and themselves. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Program Terms will have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the User Agreement.
ELIGIBILITY: The Program is only available to users who:

(a) Are legal residents of one of the 50 U.S. states (including the District of Columbia) or the country of Canada;

(b) Are at least 13 years of age, provided that if you are under the age of majority in your country, state, province or district of residence, you may only participate in the Program if:

Your participation is supervised by a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Program Terms and the User Agreement; and
Pursuant to Section 1, your parent or legal guardian agrees to be (1) bound by these Program Terms and any applicable additional terms promulgated by EA in connection with the Program, and (2) fully responsible for your acts or omissions in connection with the Program;

(d) Are not otherwise prohibited by law from participating in the Program.

TERRITORY: The Program is only available within the 50 U.S. states (including the District of Columbia) and the country of Canada.
REWARDS: Subject to these Program Terms:

(a) By participating in the Program, you can receive certain virtual in-Game rewards, as described in the Invite Friends feature in-Game (collectively, the “Rewards”), if you invite friends and family members in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5 below (your “Referral Friends”) who successfully install the Game and complete certain in-Game achievements, as described in the Invite Friends Feature in the Game. You must use the unique URL provided to you via the Invite Friends feature in the Game to invite your Referral Friends to download and install the Game (your “Referral URL”), which Referral URL can be obtained through the Invite Friends feature in the Game.

(b) Each Reward you are entitled to receive will be described within the Invite Friends feature within the Game. All In-Game Rewards are provided subject to the User Agreement and must be accepted as provided and may not be transferred, substituted, or redeemed for cash or otherwise. The In-Game Rewards have no value other than their use within the Game.

If any of your Referral Friends install the Game without using your Referral URL, you will not be entitled to receive any Rewards in connection with that Referral Friend’s Game install or in-Game achievements;
You will only be entitled to receive the maximum number of Rewards specified in the Invite Friends feature within the Game, regardless of how many of Referral Friends you invite; and

iii. You will only be entitled to receive Rewards for those Referral Friends who (a) successfully install the Game using your Referral URL, and (b) successfully complete the in-Game achievements specified in the Invite Friends feature in the Game.

REFERRAL MESSAGES:

(a) You are solely responsible for the content and delivery of all referral messages directed by you to any of your Referral Friends in connection with the Program, including without limitation any messages or communications by which you distribute your Referral URL (collectively, “Referral Messages”). You must comply at all times with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may include without limitation the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement and Testimonial Guidelines described at https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking, and Canada’s Competition Act. Without limiting your other legal and regulatory compliance obligations under these Program Terms, your Referral Message must make it clear that you will receive a benefit in connection with the referral (e.g., “Hey! Check out MLB Tap Sports Baseball 2021 and help me earn in-game rewards”). Referral Messages must be provided only to your friends and family members in a personal, non-commercial manner that is appropriate and customary for communications with friends and family. You acknowledge that Internet access and device data usage charges may apply in connection with your sending Referral Messages and otherwise participating in the Program. Contact your wireless carrier and/or internet access provider for data usage pricing plans and details.

GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION: These Program Terms and your participation in the Program will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

If you do not agree to the updated Program Terms, you must immediately cease participation in the Program.
TERMINATION: EA may terminate the Program at any time by disabling the Program features within the Game or providing notice of termination either within the Game or on EA or it’s affiliate’s website.

MISCELLANEOUS: These Terms do not create the relationship of employer and employee, a partnership, joint venture or other relationship between you and EA. If any provision or part of a provision of these Program Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Program Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Program Terms and the User Agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and EA relating to your access to and participation in the Program. The failure of EA to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Program Terms or the User Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Program Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Program Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
