LAST CAM STANDING

Terms of Service

Effective Date: [01/01/2026]

Operated by: Last Cam Standing (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Last Cam Standing is a skill-based competition in which players compete against each other, using their knowledge, speed, and reaction time, to win prizes. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) contain important provisions affecting your rights, including an ARBITRATION clause and a CLASS ACTION WAIVER (Section 19).

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Last Cam Standing website, mobile application, online qualifier game, live broadcast game, or any related services (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirement

The Service is available only to individuals who are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher). By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18, that you are a natural person personally assigned to the email address used to register, and that you have the power and capacity to enter into a contract with Company.

2.2 Geographic Eligibility

The Service is intended for residents of the United States. Participation may be void or restricted in jurisdictions where prohibited by law, including where skill-based, cash-prize competitions require additional licensing, bonding, or registration that Company has not obtained. Company reserves the right to restrict eligibility on a state-by-state basis as needed to comply with applicable law.

2.3 Restricted Countries

You represent that you are not a citizen of, domiciled in, a resident of, or physically present or located in any country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or export restrictions, or any other country Company designates as ineligible from time to time. [Note to Company: finalize this list with counsel and keep it current, as sanctioned-country lists change.]

2.4 One Account; Good Standing

You may not register for or maintain more than one active account. You are not eligible to use the Service if your access has been suspended or your account previously terminated by Company without reinstatement.

2.5 Other Restrictions

Employees, contractors, and immediate family members of Company, its affiliates, and production partners may be ineligible to win prizes, as further described in Section 8.

3. Description of the Service

3.1 Online Qualifier

A free-to-play trivia game accessible via web and mobile, hosted by the animated virtual host character “Maxwell Knight.” Players earn points (not cash) based on the speed and accuracy of their answers; points contribute to a public leaderboard.

3.2 Live Broadcast Game

Top-ranked leaderboard players may be invited to compete in a live, webcam-based, head-to-head buzzer tournament for real cash prizes, as further described in Section 8.

3.3 Companion Play

Viewers may play along in real time during live broadcasts through a synchronized companion experience, which may include SMS-based prize opportunities, as described in Section 9.

3.4 Contest-Specific Rules

Each individual game, tournament, or broadcast cycle offered through the Service (a “Contest”) may be governed by its own official rules (“Contest Rules”) covering matters such as entry procedures, scoring, prize amounts and award conditions, and timing. Contest Rules will be made available to you before you enter a Contest and are incorporated into these Terms by reference. If a Contest Rule conflicts with these Terms, the Contest Rule governs solely with respect to that Contest. Company may amend, suspend, or cancel a Contest at its discretion, but changes will not affect a Contest already in progress or completed, except as required by law.

3.5 No Guarantee of Advancement

Placement on the leaderboard does not guarantee an invitation to the Live Broadcast Game. Company retains sole discretion over selection, scheduling, and vetting of live contestants.

4. Account Registration

You must create an account to access certain features. You agree to provide accurate, current information, keep your login credentials confidential, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account. You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account, whether or not authorized by you.

5. Webcam, Video, and Live Broadcast Consent

5.1 Real-Time Video

Certain features of the Service, including the Live Broadcast Game, require you to activate your device’s webcam and appear on live, real-time video. By participating, you consent to being filmed, recorded, live-streamed, and broadcast.

5.2 Photo Alternative (Qualifier Only)

In the Online Qualifier only, players without an active webcam may participate using an uploaded static photo in place of live video.

5.3 Recording, Rebroadcast, and Promotional Use

You acknowledge and agree that your image, voice, likeness, username, gameplay, chat messages, on-camera reactions, and any statements you make while using the Service may be recorded, stored, edited, streamed, broadcast (including on television and internet platforms), archived, and used by Company for purposes including quality assurance, analytics, content moderation, public display, advertising, and marketing, in any media now known or later developed, worldwide, without further notice or compensation to you, except as separately set out in a written contestant agreement (if any) executed before a live broadcast appearance.

5.4 License Grant and Moral Rights Waiver

By using the Service, you grant Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, and create derivative works from your video, audio, username, chat messages, gameplay data, uploaded photos, and other content you submit, for any lawful business purpose, including promotional and commercial uses. You waive any moral rights you may have in such content to the extent permitted by applicable law.

5.5 No Expectation of Privacy On-Camera

Video and audio captured during the Live Broadcast Game, and any portion of the Online Qualifier where your webcam is active, is not private and may be publicly viewable in real time and afterward.

5.6 Voluntary Participation

Participation in webcam and live-broadcast features is entirely voluntary. If you do not wish to be recorded or broadcast, do not use those features; you may still play the points-based, non-camera portions of the Online Qualifier where available.

5.7 Technical Requirements

You are solely responsible for ensuring your device, camera, microphone, and internet connection meet the technical requirements necessary to participate.

6. Virtual Host Disclosure

Maxwell Knight is an animated, computer-generated character and does not represent a real human host. Any dialogue, reactions, or interactions attributed to Maxwell Knight are generated or scripted by Company’s systems and are provided for entertainment purposes.

7. Points, Leaderboard, and No Cash Value (Online Qualifier)

Points earned in the Online Qualifier have no cash value, cannot be redeemed directly for cash or prizes, are non-transferable, and confer no property right. Points and leaderboard standing may be reset, adjusted, or forfeited at Company’s discretion in cases of suspected fraud, technical error, or violations of these Terms.

8. Prizes, Jackpots, and Live Game Rules

8.1 Skill-Based Competition

The Live Broadcast Game is a game of skill in which outcomes are determined predominantly by contestants’ knowledge, speed, and reaction time, not chance.

8.2 Jackpot Mechanics

Personal and Game Jackpots accrue as described in the Contest Rules published by Company for each broadcast cycle. If these Terms conflict with the Contest Rules on a gameplay-specific matter, the Contest Rules govern.

8.3 Vetting and Background Checks

Invitation to the Live Broadcast Game is conditioned on successful completion of Company’s standard vetting process, which may include identity verification, background checks, and on-camera/technical readiness confirmation. Company may disqualify or decline to invite any qualifier for any lawful reason, including failure to pass vetting.

8.4 Identity and Age Verification for Prize Award

Before awarding any cash prize, Company may require you to complete an identity-verification process. This process may include submitting a government-issued identification document (such as a driver’s license or passport) and a live selfie photo or short video, which Company or its verification vendor will compare against your ID to confirm your identity and age. You consent to this collection and comparison, which may involve facial biometric information, solely for verification, fraud-prevention, and prize-eligibility purposes, as further described in the Privacy Policy. Company may withhold, delay, or deny a prize if you decline to complete verification or if verification fails.

8.5 Prize Payment and Taxes

Winners are solely responsible for all applicable federal, state, and local taxes on any prize received. Company may require winners to complete tax reporting forms (e.g., IRS Form W-9 and, where applicable, Form 1099) before releasing any prize.

8.6 Void Where Prohibited

Prize eligibility is void in any jurisdiction where participation in a skill-based, cash-prize competition of this kind is restricted or prohibited by law.

8.7 No Purchase Necessary

No purchase or payment is required to participate in the Online Qualifier or to be eligible for invitation to the Live Broadcast Game.
