A proper reporting means that all participating Users must have reported the results without any contradictions i.e. all reports must consistently state the winner(s) of the Game(s).

In the event of a non-proper or contradictory reporting or else a dispute regarding the outcome of one or more Games, Maxi Players may at its discretion EITHER refund each stake amount back to each participating User’s Wallet OR request that participating Users provide additional evidence, including but not limited to photo or video evidence of Game results.

The Player Event has ended once the prize-money has been transferred to the winner(s) according to para. (4) or the take amounts have been refunded according to para. (5).

If a technical failure, which is not caused by Maxi Players leads to an early cancellation of a Game (e.g. caused by the Game provider or a User), then the stake amounts are refunded to the Wallets of the Users. The Event-Fee will remain due in these cases.

Maxi Players does not provide or hold or host Games and is in no case in any form responsible for Games to take place properly or for Users to take part in Games or report the results properly in the course of Player Events.

Changes within your Wallet balance lead to corresponding reallocations within the respective administration bank account assigned to the Wallet.

Maxi Players reserves the right to reclaim possible fees (i.e. returned payments, chargebacks, etc.) which may occur due to incorrect payments performed by You. Maxi Players is entitled to offset such costs directly against the balances of Your Wallet.

Pay-out Provisions

You may request in written or textual form from Maxi Players a conversion of Your Wallet balance via a pay-out of the amount of money equal to the balance from the respective administration account to Your bank account.

Miscellaneous

All headings in these GTC shall only serve to facilitate legibility and have no influence on the significance and interpretation of the individual provisions.

As far as this is permitted by the applicable laws, the User Agreement and all contracts concluded between Maxi Players and its Users shall be governed by German law, under exclusion of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

If You are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law or if You have no general place of jurisdiction in the Federal Republic of Germany, disputes arising from or in connection with the platform usage agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at the registered office of the Maxi Players (currently Emmendingen, GERMANY).

Should individual provisions of these GTC or of contracts or agreements concluded between the Parties be fully or partially invalid or unenforceable or become invalid or unenforceable after the conclusion of the respective contract, this shall not affect the validity of the other provisions. Instead, the Parties shall endeavour to agree a substitute regulation that comes as close as possible to the effects of the invalid or unenforceable regulation in a legally permissible and economic way. The aforesaid provisions shall also apply in case regulations should turn out to have gaps.
