CONTEST OF SKILL
Contests offered on the Website are contests of skill. Winners are determined by the objective criteria described in the Contest deadline, stocks, rules and any other applicable documentation associated with the Contest. From all entries received for each Contest, winners are determined by the individuals who use their skill and knowledge of relevant stock market information and contest rules to accumulate the most gains or highest remaining portfolio balance according to the corresponding rules. The Website and Contests may not be used for any form of illicit gambling.
CONTEST STATISTICS AND LIVE SCORING
To the extent that we offer 'live' statistics during gameplay, all 'live' statistics and other information provided through the MarketDraft Website and related information sources are unofficial. Live stock statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of our Contests. While MarketDraft and the third parties used to provide the MarketDraft Services use reasonable efforts to include accurate and up-to-date information, neither MarketDraft nor its third party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the MarketDraft Website and related information sources. MarketDraft and its third party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the MarketDraft Website and related information sources, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information.
CONTEST RESULTS
Contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and portfolio balance results at the completion of the stock market close of each individual Contest. Once Contest results are reviewed and graded, prizes are awarded. The portfolio balance results of a Contest will not be changed regardless of any official statistics or adjustments made by the market at later times or dates, except in MarketDraft' sole discretion.*
MarketDraft reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to deny any contestant the ability to participate in head-to-head contests for any reason whatsoever. Further, MarketDraft may, in its sole and absolute discretion, invalidate any head-to-head contest result for the purposes of preventing abusive and/or any unfair or potentially unlawful activity, or in the event that there is a risk of any such abusive, illegal, or unfair activity.
*Contests that are affected by Splits or Reverse Splits will be manually reviewed and revised at the conclusion of the contest. Adjustment to winnings will take place within 1 day and changes to any wallet will be annotated to ensure fairness and transparency.
PRIZES
At the conclusion of each Contest, prizes will be awarded within 24 hours except in circumstances where technical failure, inability of the Company to verify your compliance with these Terms, or other reasons prevent such timely payout. Contest prizes are listed in our prize table list. Prizes won are added to the winning participants account balance. In the event of a tie, prizes are divided evenly amongst the participants that have tied.
PRIZE TABLES
Contest prize payouts will be published with the creation of each new contest. MarketDraft reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend the contests (or any portion thereof) should virus, bugs, unauthorized human intervention, or other causes corrupt administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the contest (or any portion thereof) warrant doing so. Notification of such changes may be provided by MarketDraft to its customers but will not be required.
PAYMENT AND WITHDRAWAL OF PRIZES
Winners are posted on the Website.
Before making any payment, MarketDraft may require that an entrant complete and execute an affidavit of eligibility in which, among other things, the entrant is required to represent and warrant that the entrant is eligible to participate in a Contest, is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and, potentially, is required to provide documentation or proof of eligibility and compliance. If MarketDraft requests that an entrant completes and executes such an affidavit and the entrant fails to do so within seven (7) days, or MarketDraft otherwise determines that the entrant does not meet the eligibility requirements or is not in compliance with these Terms, MarketDraft reserves the right to terminate the entrant’s account and withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes associated with such account. In such a situation, MarketDraft may pay out any withheld or revoked prizes to the other entrants in the relevant contest in a manner consistent with the Rules of the Contest.
Entrants may withdraw their cash prize awards as well as cash deposits by using the "Withdrawal" option on the Website. Entrants may be requested to complete an affidavit of eligibility and a liability/publicity release (unless prohibited by law) and/or appropriate tax forms and forms of identification including but not limited to a Driver's License, Proof of Residence, and/or any information relating to payment/deposit accounts as reasonably requested by MarketDraft in order to complete the withdrawal of prizes. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in disqualification and forfeiture of any prizes. Disqualification or forfeiture of any prizes may also occur if it is determined any such entrant did not comply with these Terms of Use in any manner.
Prizes, cash or otherwise, may only be issued to the owner of the account.
All taxes associated with the receipt of any prize are the sole responsibility of the winner. In the event that the awarding of any prizes to winners of Contests is challenged by any legal authority, MarketDraft reserves the right in its sole discretion to determine whether or not to award such prizes.
For withdrawals of $250 or more MarketDraft may request that users provide their social security number before the withdrawal is processed. MarketDraft is required to file a 1099-MISC tax form in the event that a user's total withdrawals exceed $600 for the fiscal year. Payments of any kind will be withheld until the user has completed and returned the appropriate W9.
No substitution or transfer of prize is permitted, except that MarketDraft reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal value or greater if the advertised prize is unavailable. All prizes are awarded "as is" and without warranty of any kind, express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability for a particular purpose).
Any withdrawal requests, after approved by MarketDraft, will be credited back to the same credit card or method of payment used to deposit funds on the Website. MarketDraft will only release withdrawals to a different credit card or other payment method other than that which was used to make deposit(s) after the aggregate amount of such deposit(s) has already been released back to the credit card(s) or payment method(s) used for the deposit(s).
MARKETDRAFT PLAYER RESERVE
Customer deposits and player winnings after contests are finished are held in a separate, segregated bank account (the "Segregated Account") held by MarketDraft INC. Withdrawals which will be made from this Segregated Account. Vendors, players, and creditors shall be aware that the funds in the Segregated Account not available to creditors of MarketDraft INC., except for players whose funds are held in such account. MarketDraft, is prohibited from comingling funds held by the Segregated Account.
MarketDraft, INC. will take appropriate steps to prevent unauthorized withdrawals from consumer accounts. Users are subject to an automated Knowledge Base Authentication ("KBA") verification process provided whenever a user attempts to withdraw funds. This process asks a series of at least four multiple choice questions about the person’s life, such as known relatives, previous addresses, and to enter their last 4 digits of their Tax ID or Social Security Number. In the event of a dispute as to the identity of a customer, MarketDraft, INC. can and does require its users to produce a copy of their driver’s license, credit cards, utility bills or passport for identity verification. If a customer cannot validate their identity and account, MarketDraft, INC. will not release the funds from the account. Once per month, MarketDraft, INC. shall reconcile all liabilities owed to users and the sum of funds or credits in the Segregated Account, the PayPal Account, and credits due to MarketDraft, INC. from credit card processors as of the end date of the immediately preceding month.
Players who believe that funds held by or their accounts with MarketDraft INC. have been misallocated, compromised or otherwise mishandled, may register a complaint with MarketDraft, INC. online by e-mailing support@marketdraft.com. MarketDraft INC. shall use its best efforts to respond to such complaints within ten (10) days. If MarketDraft, INC. determines that the relief requested in the complaint will not be granted, its response will set forth the specific reasons therefore. If more information is required for MarketDraft INC. to process the complaint, the response will note the form and nature of the necessary additional information needed.
A player can request to withdraw funds from their account at any time. Requests for withdrawal will be honored by the later of five business days or ten business days of submission of any tax reporting paperwork required by law, unless MarketDraft, INC. believes in good faith that the player engaged in either fraudulent conduct or other conduct that would put MarketDraft, INC. in violation of California state law. A request for withdrawal will be considered honored if it is processed by MarketDraft, INC. but delayed by a payment processor, credit card issuer, or by the custodian of a financial account. Players can also permanently close their account at any time for any reason through the MarketDraft, INC customer service department.
TERMINATION AND EFFECT OF TERMINATION

In such event, you will immediately cease all access to and use of the MarketDraft Website. MarketDraft may revoke any password(s) and/or account identification issued to you and deny you access to and use of the Website. Any such action shall not affect any rights and obligations arising prior thereto.
