TERMS OF SERVICE

We are AlterStaff Inc.("Company," "we," "us," "our"), doing business as Starppegio, a company registered in Delaware, United States at 651 N. Broad St., Suite 308, Middletown, New Castle, DE 19709.

We operate the application AI2U - With You ’Til The End (the "App"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").

AI2U, an escape room game with AI-powered NPCs. The player needs to use all the wit and charm to convince the Yandere girls to escape their grasp – or, to stay with them forever.

The levels feature a range of identities and personalities, including a catgirl and a witch; many more unique characters are in development for different levels for players to embark on a journey together.

PLEASE READ THIS TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY, INCLUDING OUR DETAILED PRIVACY POLICY.

If cheating is detected, we reserve the right to enforce appropriate measures. By installing, copying, or using AlterStaff Games, you consent to these terms.

Registering for an account, downloading our game software, playing AlterStaff Games (including updates, patches, and upgrades), browsing our websites, or accessing any AlterStaff Services implies that you have read, understood, and accepted all terms of this Agreement.

AlterStaff Inc. reserves the right to amend, modify, or revise this Agreement. We encourage you to review the terms periodically. Continued use of AlterStaff Services implies acceptance of any revised terms.

ALTERSTAFF Services may provide opportunities to acquire virtual, in-game currency ("Virtual Currency") or digital items ("Virtual Goods") through a limited license, either by purchase or other means. You understand that acquiring Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods grants you rights under the License (defined in Section 2) but acknowledges that they hold no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for real money or items of value. They are not intended for investment purposes.

b. Despite any external references to buying or selling Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods, these are licensed, not sold, to you under this Agreement. If you comply with this Agreement, ALTERSTAFF grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable right to use the Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods in connection with the ALTERSTAFF Services.

For operating the artificial intelligence models of the Service, including but not limited to GPT 3.5 and Llama 2, upon your purchase of the Game, AlterStaff Inc. will initially assign you Tokens (the “Initial Tokens”). It is expected that the Tokens will facilitate a limited number of interactions with game NPCs, although actual game duration may fluctuate due to factors such as your gameplay, access, use of the Game, alterations in Token pricing, and Game Updates (as defined later). Should your Initial Tokens be depleted, you have the option to acquire Additional Tokens (“Additional Tokens”) at the prevailing price set solely by AlterStaff Inc.. We reserve the right to periodically grant complimentary Additional Tokens at its discretion, for promotional purposes or other reasons. Subject to the Statutory Obligations, a Token is of no external value, non-transferable to others, and cannot be returned, exchanged, or redeemed for cash, goods, services, or any value from AlterStaff Inc. or any third party. All forms of Token transfers, sales, gifts, or trades are unrecognized and prohibited by AlterStaff Inc. Any attempts to use, sell, or transfer Tokens in a manner contravening this Agreement may lead to revocation or cancellation of the Tokens and/or suspension or termination of Your Account and access to Services. By obtaining Tokens, you acknowledge and agree to their nature as a limited license for personal, private, non-commercial service use, affirming that Tokens are not property and do not confer any ownership rights. AlterStaff Inc. may modify Token pricing or bundle Tokens with other Services at any time without notice, and such changes do not entitle you to any pricing adjustments or refunds, except as governed by the Statutory Obligations.

18. Severability

a. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable for any reason, you and ALTERSTAFF agree that the affected provision will be severed, and the remaining portions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect, as if the severed provision had not been included. However, if the Class Action Waiver in Section 19(d) and Section 19A(c) is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, it will not be severable. In that case, the entire dispute resolution sections (Sections 19 and 19A) will become void and unenforceable, and any disputes will be resolved according to the venue and law selection clauses of this Agreement. Arbitration will not proceed on a class basis without the express written consent of ALTERSTAFF.

b. Except as specified above, if a competent court or arbitrator rules that any part of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable.

19. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution (Rest of World)

This section applies to all consumers and persons who have accepted this Agreement, except those residing in the United States of America.

a. Governing Law: This Agreement will be governed and interpreted according to the laws of Singapore, excluding its conflict of law principles.

b. Binding Individual Arbitration: You acknowledge that any disputes between you and ALTERSTAFF will be resolved through arbitration at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC"), following SIAC’s rules. The arbitration decision will be final and binding. If arbitration is not enforceable, such disputes shall be resolved in a court in Singapore. You waive objections to jurisdiction and venue in Singapore, whether in arbitration or court proceedings.

Notwithstanding this, each party retains the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in a competent court to address intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or violation. Both parties can also seek judicial action to address intentional or willful misuse of intellectual property.

c. Informal Resolution: Before initiating arbitration, you and ALTERSTAFF agree to attempt informal dispute resolution for at least thirty (30) days. This process starts upon receipt of a Written Notice of Dispute, detailing the dispute and the relief sought. Send this notice to support@alterstaff.io.

If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be subject to binding arbitration as described in subsection (b) above.

d. Class Action Waiver: Both parties agree to bring claims only in their individual capacity and not as part of any class or representative proceeding. Arbitration shall not consolidate more than one person’s claims and shall not oversee any form of class or representative proceeding unless explicitly agreed in writing by both parties. If found unenforceable, the entire clause 19(d) is null and void.

19A. Dispute Resolution (United States of America)

This section is specifically for consumers and individuals residing in the United States of America. Please review carefully as it impacts your legal rights, including your ability to litigate in court.

Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes outside of court. By accepting this Agreement, which includes Binding Individual Arbitration and a Class Action Waiver, you agree to resolve any disputes with ALTERSTAFF through neutral arbitration, relinquishing the right to bring claims in court before a judge or jury, or to participate in court-filed class or representative actions.

You have the option to opt-out of this Dispute Resolution provision, preserving your right to court litigation.

For this Agreement, "Dispute" encompasses any disagreement, claim, or controversy between you and ALTERSTAFF regarding any aspect of your relationship with ALTERSTAFF, including those based on this Agreement or rooted in contract, law, regulation, tort (such as fraud, misrepresentation, or negligence), or other legal theories. This includes the validity and enforceability of this Dispute Resolution clause, except the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver.

a. Binding Individual Arbitration: If you reside in the USA, all Disputes, including their arbitrability, will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, not in court. This agreement includes a waiver of your right to a jury trial or judge-led court trial. Accepting this Agreement signifies that you might have limited rights compared to those in court, such as appeal rights and discovery rights.

Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") and governed by the laws of your state of residence. The arbitration will generally be confidential.

You or ALTERSTAFF can initiate arbitration in the federal judicial district where you reside.

Despite this arbitration agreement, both parties retain the right to seek court intervention for injunctive or equitable relief to address intellectual property infringements or violations. Both parties may also pursue legal action in a competent court for deliberate misuse or abuse of intellectual property rights.

b. Informal Resolution: You agree that in the event of any dispute, you and ALTERSTAFF will initially seek to resolve it informally for a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days before initiating arbitration proceedings. This informal resolution process starts once either party receives a Written Notice of Dispute from the other. This notice should contain the complainant's full name and contact information, a detailed description of the dispute, and the specific relief sought. Send the Written Notice of Dispute to ALTERSTAFF at 651 N. Broad St., Suite 308, Middletown, New Castle, DE 19709, USA. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will proceed to binding arbitration as per subsection (a) of Section 19A.

c. Class Action Waiver: By agreeing to this provision, both you and ALTERSTAFF commit to bringing claims against each other only in your individual capacities, not as plaintiffs or class members in any class or representative legal proceedings. If a dispute between the parties goes to arbitration, the arbitrator is not permitted to consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of collective or class proceeding (such as class actions, consolidated actions, or private attorney general actions), unless both ALTERSTAFF and you explicitly agree in writing after arbitration has commenced. This clause also stipulates that disputes about this waiver's interpretation, applicability, or enforceability are to be decided by a court, not an arbitrator. Should this specific provision be deemed unenforceable, then the entire Dispute Resolution Provision of Section 19A will be considered null and void.

d. Right to Waive: Any party against whom a claim is made may choose to waive the rights and limitations specified in this Dispute Resolution provision. However, such a waiver will not impact any other part of this Agreement, maintaining the integrity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

e. Exclusions from Arbitration/Right to Opt-out: Despite the preceding clauses, both you and ALTERSTAFF have the option to opt out of the arbitration procedures. If either party chooses to opt out, arbitration cannot be compelled by either party.

You have the right to opt out of arbitration and take disputes to court if (i) the dispute is eligible for small claims court, or (ii) you provide ALTERSTAFF with a written notice of your decision to opt out ("Arbitration Opt-Out Notice") within 30 days from the date you first consent to this Agreement. The Arbitration Opt-Out Notice should include your name, address, in-game username, the email address used for your in-game account, and a clear statement of your decision to opt out of arbitration with ALTERSTAFF. The notice should be mailed to ALTERSTAFF PTE. LTD. at 651 N. Broad St., Suite 308, Middletown, New Castle, DE 19709, United States. Failing to send an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within the 30-day period means you are deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate disputes in court, except as explicitly stated in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

f. Continuation: This Dispute Resolution provision will continue to apply even after the termination of your account, your access to or use of ALTERSTAFF Services, or the end of your relationship with ALTERSTAFF.

19B. Governing Law (United States of America)

This section is specifically for consumers and persons residing in the United States of America. It is important to understand the legal framework governing this Agreement.

For residents of the USA, both you and ALTERSTAFF agree that this Agreement, encompassing all disputes, controversies, differences, or claims arising from or related to the Agreement or ALTERSTAFF Services, will be governed and interpreted according to the laws of the United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles. This includes any matters concerning the validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination of the Agreement, as well as any non-contractual obligations related to it or the ALTERSTAFF Services.

20. No Assignment

You are not permitted to assign, transfer, charge, or sub-contract your rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether by legal means or otherwise, without ALTERSTAFF’s explicit prior written consent. Violation of this term may lead to ALTERSTAFF terminating its services to you without prior notice. Should the laws of your country of residence not enforce these restrictions on transfer, then this Agreement remains binding on you and any assignees. However, ALTERSTAFF retains the right to assign, transfer, charge, or sub-contract its rights or obligations under this Agreement at any time.

21. General

a. Entire Agreement: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and ALTERSTAFF regarding its subject matter, superseding any prior agreements, whether written or oral.

b. Interpretation: The terms "include," "includes," and "including" are to be interpreted as inclusive and without limitation.

c. Definition of Affiliate: For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Affiliate" is defined as an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with ALTERSTAFF PTE. LTD.
