Activation of the prize pool will be conditional on the existence of at least eight (8) valid and eligible Participants sufficient to form the final bracket. If the minimum is not reached, the Organizer may declare the prize pool forfeited and cancel or adapt the final phase.
Prior to the payment of any prize pool amount, the Organizer will verify the winner's identity by means of a valid official identity document (national ID, passport and/or equivalent). The participant must provide a legible copy of the document, proof of tax residency and the necessary bank or payment platform details. Failure to cooperate with the verification within fourteen (14) calendar days following notification will result in the loss of the right to the prize, which may be declared forfeited or reassigned to the next-ranked participant, at the Organizer's discretion.
The Organizer will pay the corresponding amount by international transfer or digital payment platform (PayPal or equivalent) within a maximum period of thirty (30) calendar days from the complete verification of the winner. Amounts are expressed gross, in US dollars. Receiving or conversion fees will be borne by the winner, unless a legal obligation provides otherwise.
The Organizer may suspend or delay payment where there are reasonable doubts about identity, eligibility, residency, payment details, parental consent, tax compliance, fraud prevention, anti-money-laundering or any other legal or compliance obligation.
The taxation associated with any prize will be the responsibility of the winner in accordance with the tax legislation applicable to them based on their country or jurisdiction of residence. The Organizer does not act as a withholding agent at source and will provide the winner with the documentary proof necessary for them to comply with their tax obligations.
The Organizer will not be responsible for the winner's failure to comply with their tax obligations, declarations, payments, withholdings, fees or communications to the competent authorities.
The winner will be responsible for obtaining independent tax advice if they deem it necessary.
The prize pool will not be available to participants residing in jurisdictions where participation in online competitions with cash prizes requires a specific license from the Organizer or is expressly prohibited. The Organizer assumes no responsibility for the participant's failure to comply with local legislation. It is the participant's responsibility to verify the legality of their participation in their jurisdiction before registering.
The Organizer reserves the right to review all matches recorded during the Tournament and to void those that show signs of the use of unauthorized software, client manipulation, multiple accounts (smurfing), bug exploitation (exploiting) or any other form of competitive fraud.
The detection of fraudulent behavior will result in: (i) the immediate disqualification of the participant, (ii) the loss of the right to any prize pool prize and (iii) the possible notification to Meta Platforms, Inc. and to the competent authorities when the fraud could constitute a criminal offense or a breach of Meta's terms of use.
Sanctions may include voiding of matches, loss of wins or goals, correction of the ranking, exclusion from the Top 8, defeat, disqualification, loss or reassignment of the prize, suspension of accounts and exclusion from future competitions.
