  1. First Round Exchange Statement of Principles and Your Responsibilities

    First Round Exchange and the other fantasy sports games and online services we offer are just that, games for people like us who eat, breathe and live sports. Most of our games are for people who can’t even wait for the season to begin and need to start pouring over data months ahead of time. The games are strictly for fun, to test your skill against other sports fanatics and see who can claim the greater skill. It is NOT gambling and the games and data generated by the game may not be used for any gambling purposes outside the game.

    By using the First Round Exchange games and services you are agreeing and specifically represent and warrant that you will follow all the laws of your jurisdiction regarding gambling.

  1. Privacy

    Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use First Round Exchange to play our fantasy sports games and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help make informed decisions.

    You own all of the content and information you post on First Round Exchange, subject to any Contribution Policies and Agreement First Round Exchange may choose to issue or require. In addition:

    1.

    2. When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others). Not all content you post on First Round Exchange may be deleted. First Round Exchange, under the IP License, may choose to continue to display, distribute and otherwise use posted content in connection with the First Round Exchange service at its sole discretion.
