General Payout Policy
Payouts are only enabled for accounts that have fulfilled certain in-game requirements. This may seem tedious but it is an essential step to ensure the quality of our user base.
Payout requests should be made via the in-game Messenger service. A suitable option is provided.
Payout rates can be seen on the wiki here - these are current conversion rates but subject to change based upon demand/supply.

Payout Terms
This section is the ONLY place that completely encapsulates "What you get paid for". Ensure you are completely clear on this, as any payouts from E99 will confirm to these rules alone.
- Compensation is MEANT for your EFFORTS in building the AI program.
- However it's difficult to quantify EFFORTS without extensive tracking systems
- So as a compromise, we use in-game RESOURCES as the nearst 'measurable' compensation method
- Payouts shall be made via Stripe or Paypal only
- If you have multiple accounts, you can request payouts to be clubbed together. Reach out to tanya@e99.one for further guidance on this point
- Minimum permitted payout amount is shown in your dashbard, and changes with the maturity of your account
- E99 will make the final decision on payout - by using this site you agree to this term explicitly and waive your right to arbitration or legal proceedings in the event of a dispute

General Rules
You can sign up for any number of E99 accounts using different email ids. However the payout rules remain independently applicable to each account.
E99's real time API is designed to provide limited access to the platform, and does not replace the need to use the platform itself.
If E99 is under the impression that you have created multiple accounts with malicious intent, we reserve the right to suspend any or all of them.
The failure of E99 to enforce any provision of these terms of use shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce it at a later time.

Disputes
You agree to submit any disputes regarding charges or E99 credits in writing within 30 days of the charge or purchase. You agree that any disputes rendered outside that time period are void and any charges are considered irrefutable. You accept that refunds are only possible if you comply with and are deemed eligible under the terms stated in the Money Back Guarantee. If your account is terminated or suspended due to any violation of our Terms Of Use or Acceptable Usage Agreement you will not be entitled to a refund under any circumstances.

The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on you and us and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
As an exception to the binding arbitration rule, to the extent the Dispute arises from (a) a violation of our intellectual property rights; (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of a violation of the safe play, license restrictions, prohibited content or prohibited activities sections of these Terms; or (c) any claim for equitable relief; then both parties agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or equivalent urgent legal relief) in any court with jurisdiction over the other party. In addition to the foregoing, in lieu of arbitration, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for claims that are within the scope of such court's jurisdiction.
To the extent permissible under applicable law, all Disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT NO OTHER DISPUTES SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH YOUR DISPUTE, WHETHER THROUGH CLASS ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE, AND THAT THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS, TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES, OR TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
