Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

16.5. Class Action Waiver. TG$ and you each agree that any Claim against the other may only be brought in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have the authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any class action proceeding, nor make an award to any person or entity that is not a part of the arbitration. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the arbitration agreement herein shall be null and void.

Users may also be required to produce a recent invoice from a utility company with a name and physical address thereon. If you are considered a minor, then your parent or legal guardian may also be required to provide proof of identity and residency. If you are considered a minor, then you may be required to provide a school-issued photo ID. If you (or your parent or legal guardian) choose to not comply, or cannot comply for any reason, your prizes may become forfeited. To be clear, if you choose to or cannot comply, TG$ reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deny any and all of its Services to you, including awarding you with any prizes. The sufficiency of any such proof of identity and residency shall be determined by TG$ in its sole discretion.
17.7. Banking Information. Users of TG$ Services acknowledge and agree to provide their banking information to TG$. In order to receive prizes, you may be required to have a bank account and provide your banking information to TG$. Failure to communicate your banking information may result in the forfeiture of any and all prizes. If you are considered a minor, then your parent or legal guardian may be required to have a bank account and provide such banking information to TG$.
17.8. Disqualification and Forfeiture of Prizes. TG$ shall conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure that a user won a game fairly and in compliance with the Agreement. TG$ may disqualify any user, at any time and without notice, with or without cause. If, for example, a user is found to be in violation of the Agreement, TG$ shall disqualify the user in violation, and the user shall forfeit any and all prizes. We do not allow people who have found a treasure item, but are not actively playing the game, to sign up and claim the prize. You must have found the treasure through active participation in the game.
18. Prizes
18.1. Introduction. TG$ offers multiple different games, including a live-action treasure hunt. Prizes broadly refer to the awards and benefits game winners can receive upon winning a game. Some games, like the live-action treasure hunt games, include physical objects, termed “Treasure” items or “Treasures”, that are findable in the real world. Each Treasure has a monetary value associated therewith as specified in the Rules of each game. Some Treasures can be redeemable for a sum of money or a set number of wishes which may or may not be of equivalent in value to the sum of money.
18.2. Physical Treasures. All Treasures, i.e., the findable physical objects, and any associated objects therewith such as the Treasure container, are the sole property of TG$, and must be returned to TG$ in good working order and without alteration. When in possession of Treasure, you agree to safeguard and take reasonable precautions to protect the Treasure, and furthermore, you agree to not damage, mark, or otherwise alter the Treasure. If any TG$ property is damaged after you have found it, whether it was in your personal possession or not, or whether the damage was accidental or intentional, you agree to compensate TG$ for the damages incurred by TG$ in fixing or replacing the damaged property. TG$ may request that you do not remove any TG$ property from the premises at which you found it. If you have taken TG$ property and are in possession of such property, TG$ may request that you mail such property to TG$ or request to allow TG$ personnel onto your residential property in order to retrieve the TG$ property. If you do not comply with the requests of TG$, any and all of your prizes may be forfeited.
18.3. Prizes. Monetary winnings may be paid by check or bank deposit, as a lump sum or in installments, and at a time and place, as decided in TG$’ sole discretion. If applicable, and if you choose wishes instead of the monetary sum, then TG$ will initiate its wish fulfillment process wherein TG$ will take reasonable measures to fulfill your wishes. TG$ reserves the right to refuse offering wishes at any time without notice, in its sole discretion. TG$ also reserves the right to deny any and all wishes, in its sole discretion. TG$ determines which wishes it fulfills and the completion of such wishes, in its sole discretion and irrespective of the winner’s satisfaction. All completed wishes are final, and cannot be reversed to receive a monetary sum. All federal, state, provincial and local taxes, and international tariffs, are the sole responsibility of the game winner.
18.4. Charity if Forfeiture. If a prize is forfeited, for any reason, TG$ reserves the right in its sole discretion to donate the winnings to a charity as chosen by TG$.
