3. Privacy Policy

Please refer to our privacy policy for information about how we collect, use, and share your information.

4. Description of the Services

4.1 Games. The selection of the Games available to each User is tied directly to the location of the User. Only when a User’s location can be verified using GPS and other geofencing technologies will the Platform enable a User to complete an order for Tickets for certain Games. Your play of any Game is subject to all rules and regulations promulgated by the overseeing authority for such Game.

4.2 Audit Log. The Platform maintains an audit log that contains detailed information including, but not limited to, the date of order of any Ticket, the device a Ticket was ordered from, the geolocation of the applicable device at time of order, unique Platform metadata, and ownership of a single Ticket or multiple Tickets that may be shared between Users (the “Audit Log”).

4.3 Gifting and Sharing. Certain Games allow for the applicable tickets to be shared by multiple people. When allowed by the Game, a User may give the ownership of a ticket to another User, thereby fully transferring the rights to any winnings to the other User (“Gifting”). The full rights to any winnings to any ticket that is not accepted by the recipient revert to the donor. When allowed by the Game, a User (“Sharer”) may share a ticket with another User and designate what the respective division would be for any winnings between the Users (“Sharing”). A User may also create a group for sharing any winnings that may result from a ticket ordered for a Game. At the time of the deadline to order a ticket for a Game, the designated ownership (whether by an individual or by a group) of any Ticket and the inherent rights to any winnings from such Ticket will be locked by LNI and may not be changed. LNI and the Audit Log will be the final arbiter regarding the ownership of any Ticket and the amounts due and owing to any User in accordance with its records of Gifting, Sharing or applicable groups. LNI will not have any liability, including any loss of winnings, to any User for: (a) any incorrect Gifting, Sharing, or other ownership information provided by any User, or (b) any decision made by a Sharer with respect to the designated ownership division of any Ticket.

4.5 Groups. Certain Games allow for groups to be formed to share in the ownership of Tickets (each, a “Group”). LNI will not have any liability, including any loss of winnings, to any User for: (a) any failure for any User to be included or omitted from any Group, or (b) any decision made by a member of a Group that may affect the ownership of any Ticket.

1. A “Private Group”is a Group that a User can access by invite only. A User invited to participate in a Private Group can elect, at his or her own discretion, to contribute Tickets to be collectively owned by all Users in such Private Group. If a Ticket contributed to a Private Group has any winnings, a User in such Private Group will be eligible to receive a percentage of the winnings equal to the number of Tickets the User contributed to the Private Group for a Game divided by the total number of Tickets held for that Game by the Private Group.
2. A “Public Group”is a Group that any User may access. A User may elect, at his or her own discretion, to contribute Tickets to a Public Group to be collectively owned by all Users in such Public Group. If a Ticket contributed to a Public Group has any winnings, a User in such Public Group will be eligible to receive a percentage of the winnings equal to the number of Tickets the User contributed to the Public Group divided by the total number of Tickets held for that Game by the Public Group.

4.6 Free Tickets. LNI may, as an incentive or reward, give certain ownership in Ticket(s) (“Free Tickets”), in an amount that LNI will decide in its sole discretion, to Users who have agreed to receive certain rewards by the Platform for performing different activities including, but not limited to: inviting additional users to the Platform, repeated playing of Games, reaching certain ordering volumes or achievements, creating new groups, winning contests that may be offered through the Platform. You agree that a Free Ticket(s) is a gift received from LNI that, if accepted by You, is received at no cost to You.

4.7 Winnings. Each Game may provide its own requirements for claiming any prize. Many Games provide a threshold amount over which the holder of ticket for those winnings must submit a claim form to the Game’s operator or administrator to receive the winnings directly from such operation or administrator (the “Threshold Amount”). For any Ticket that results in winnings of an applicable Threshold Amount or less, LNI will determine the appropriate division of such winnings in accordance with the records in its Audit Log and will credit the applicable User’s(s’) LNI Account(s) with the applicable share of winnings. If your winnings are greater than the Threshold Amount, LNI will complete the applicable claim form on your behalf using the information you have provided in your LNI Account and submit it to the applicable operator or administrator of the Game. Our standard process is for you to be paid directly by the game’s operator or administrator and we will advise you in the event of any variations to that process on a case by case basis. LNI will have no responsibility or liability to pay you any winnings for a Ticket with winnings over the Threshold Amount. LNI will provide you with notice that the claim form has been submitted, and it is your responsibility to check with the applicable operator or administrator of the Game regarding the status of any winnings. Again, it is important that you update the information in your LNI Account as needed, and LNI will have no liability to you due to your failure to update your LNI Account information.

4.8 Account Balance. You may request payment of your account balance at any time by sending a request to cs@Midolotto.com. LNI will send a check in the amount of your account balance at the time of receipt of your request to the physical address that you have provided for your LNI Account or may send funds via PayPal or ACH to the account information on file.

4.9 No Ownership by LNI of a User’s Ticket. LNI acts as an agent and does not receive an ownership interest in any Ticket(s) ordered by a User who uses the Platform legitimately, without misrepresentation of their legal age or identity.

4.10 No Endorsement/Affiliation. Mido Lotto is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, Mega Millions or any State Lottery, and makes no claim of ownership regarding any intellectual property of Mega Millions or a State Lottery, however, any order placed by a customer is fulfilled by an officially licensed Lottery Retailer in the State where the order was placed.

5. Your General Obligations to Use the Services

5.1 Conditions and Restrictions. We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, refuse the order of a Ticket via the Services, impose limits on the amount of Tickets that may be ordered via the Services, or impose any other conditions or restrictions upon your use of the Services, without prior notice.

5.2 Accuracy of Information. You must provide any information required when creating a LNI Account or when prompted by any screen displayed within the Services.

5.3 No Cancellations. Once you hit the “submit” button for the order of any Ticket, your order may not be cancelled and your account will not be credited or refunded for such order.

5.4 Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to any winnings you may receive in a Game or via the Services, and it is your responsibility to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. You agree that we are not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your trades or for collecting, reporting, withholding, or remitting any taxes arising from any trades.

5.5 Game Rules. You agree, represent, and warrant that you will follow all rules and regulations for any Game for which you order a Ticket.

9.1 Consent to Electronic Delivery. You consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, receipts, notices, and disclosures (collectively, “Communications”) that LNI provides in connection with your LNI Account and/or use of the Services. You agree that LNI may provide these Communications to you by posting them our website, by emailing them to you at the email address you provide, and/or by sending an SMS or text message to a mobile phone number that you provide. Your carrier’s normal, messaging, data, and other rates and fees may apply to any mobile Communications. You should maintain copies of electronic Communications by printing a paper copy or saving an electronic copy.

9.2 Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need a computer with an Internet connection that has a current web browser with cookies enabled.

We will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of such Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. You waive any rights you may have to the Feedback (including any copyrights or moral rights). Do not send us Feedback if you expect to be paid or want to continue to own or claim rights in them; your idea might be great, but we may have already had the same or a similar idea and we do not want disputes. We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any content posted by you constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy. We have the right to remove any posting you make on our website if, in our opinion, your post does not comply with the requirements set out in this Section 11 or in Section 7 (Acceptable Use).

Also, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable law, LNI has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, account holders who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We also may, at our discretion, limit access to the Services and terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

12. Termination

In the event of any Force Majeure Event (as defined in Section 18.3), breach of these Terms, or any other event that would make provision of the Services commercially unreasonable for LNI, we may, in our discretion and without liability to you, with or without prior notice, suspend your access to all or a portion of our Services. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform and the Services in our sole discretion, immediately and without prior notice, and delete or deactivate your LNI Account and all related information and files in such account without liability to you, including, for instance, in the event that you breach any term of these Terms.

16. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH LNI AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM LNI.

We make no representations or warranties that the Services or LNI Materials are appropriate or available for use in other locations. If you choose to access or use the Services and LNI Materials from other locations, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations

The laws of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern your access to and use of the Services and LNI Materials. Your access to and use of the Services and LNI Materials may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws. To the extent the arbitration provision in Section 16 does not apply, you further agree that all disputes arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be resolved exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Francisco County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating all such claims.
