2SG · Terms of Use · Version 1.2 · Under review
The agreement between you and Second String Gaming covering the site, your account, the store and the community. Short version: play fair, don't break things, and the giveaway has its own rules.
Under review
These Terms are published in full and written to be relied on, but they are with a promotions attorney for review and may change before the giveaway opens. Wording may be corrected, clarified, or tightened; a few details — the sponsor’s legal name, the business address and the effective date — are still being finalised and appear as marked blanks.
These Terms may change. Every change is published here with the version noted, and anyone with a 2SG account is emailed when a new version goes up — never quietly. The version in force on the day you use the Services is the one that governs you. Questions: support@2sg.us.
By using 2sg.us, buying from us, or making an account, you agree to these terms. Section 15 requires most disputes to go to individual arbitration and gives up your right to a jury trial and to class actions. Read it.
This summary exists to be readable. It is not part of the agreement and does not change it — if it ever disagrees with the sections below, the sections below win.
This site is operated by 2nd String Gaming, LLC ("2SG", "we", "us", "our"). The company is in formation and will be registered before the giveaway opens; until then the business is operated by its founder under the same name.
Physical address: [Physical Address TBD]. Reach us at any time at support@2sg.us.
Our physical address is not final, so the postal entry route is not open yet. Until it is, the free method of entry is a form on this website — no purchase, and worth exactly what a purchased entry is worth. The Official Rules set out how it works.
When the postal address is published, the online form may be withdrawn. Entries already earned through it are unaffected.
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern your use of 2sg.us, our online store, our accounts and rosters, our Twitch and Discord presences where we say so, and any other service we operate that links to them (together, the "Services").
By accessing or using the Services you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Services. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to do so — though note that only individuals may enter our giveaways.
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy, and, for any giveaway, the Official Rules. Where these Terms and the Official Rules disagree about a giveaway, the Official Rules control. Where these Terms and the Privacy Policy disagree about how we handle your personal information, the Privacy Policy controls.
You may browse public pages freely. To create an account, buy from the store, or take part in a giveaway you must:
The Services are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to a minor we will close it and delete the associated personal information. If you believe a minor has given us information, write to support@2sg.us.
We make no claim that the Services are appropriate or available outside the United States, and giveaway eligibility is narrower still — see the Official Rules.
You need an account to hold entries, to add them to a giveaway, to join the Open Roster, and to buy from the store as a registered customer.
You may close your account at any time by writing to support@2sg.us. Closing an account forfeits any entries it holds, including entries already added to an open giveaway, and this cannot be reversed.
Our store runs on Shopify. When you buy from us:
We try to describe and price products accurately, but we do not warrant that descriptions, images, colours or prices are error-free. Where an error is obvious and material, we may correct it or cancel the affected order.
You cannot buy an entry. Entries are awarded for qualifying merchandise purchases or through the free mail-in method. They have no cash value, are not property, and cannot be transferred, sold, gifted, exchanged or inherited.
Earning entries does not enter you in anything. You must sign in and add them to a giveaway yourself, and once you do it is final.
Every giveaway is governed by its Official Rules, published on its giveaway page. Those rules set out eligibility, the free method of entry, the caps, how the winner is drawn and how a prize is claimed. You should read them before entering.
Refunds and chargebacks reverse the entries the order awarded, proportionally, whether or not those entries have already been added to a giveaway. A chargeback may also block the account from entering.
Nothing on the Services is a game of chance requiring payment, a lottery, or gambling. Every giveaway offers a free method of entry of equal value.
You agree not to, and not to attempt to:
We may investigate any suspected breach and cooperate with law enforcement where the law requires it.
"Your Content" means anything you submit through the Services: display names, profile details, chat and Discord messages where we operate the space, clips, images, reviews and anything else.
You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for formatting, display and distribute Your Content solely to operate and promote the Services and our own channels. The licence lasts as long as we host the content, and ends when you delete it, except for copies already made in backups, in broadcast recordings, and where we must keep it by law.
You confirm that you own or have the rights to Your Content, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights.
We do not pre-screen content, but we may remove anything at our discretion. We are not obliged to store Your Content or to give you copies of it.
Feedback you send us — suggestions, ideas, feature requests — is not confidential, and we may use it for any purpose without compensating you. Send feedback only if you are happy with that.
Our community spaces are moderated by volunteer moderators and by us. Moderators are unpaid, receive nothing of value from us, and have no role in running a giveaway or selecting a winner.
Where you breach these Terms we may take any of the following, proportionate to what happened:
| Action | What it means |
|---|---|
| Warning | An email explaining what breached the Terms and what happens if it continues. Your account is unaffected. |
| Content removal | We remove the specific content and tell you why. |
| Entry block | Your account works normally, but cannot obtain or add entries. Used for chargebacks and suspected entry manipulation. |
| Suspension | You can still sign in and read the reason, but cannot buy, enter, post or take any other action. Entries you hold are preserved while suspended. |
| Closure | The account is closed and any entries it holds are forfeited. Reserved for serious or repeated breaches. |
Plain speak
A suspended account is not a locked door with no sign on it. You can always sign in and read exactly what we say you did. If you think we got it wrong, reply to support@2sg.us and a human will look again.
We aim to tell you the reason for any action and to review an appeal within a reasonable time, but we do not guarantee a particular outcome. Serious or repeated breaches may be actioned without warning.
Entries obtained in breach of these Terms or the Official Rules are void, whether or not the account is otherwise actioned.
The Services, and everything in them that is not Your Content, belong to us or our licensors. That includes the Second String Gaming and 2SG names and logos, the Roster Signal brand system, our designs, artwork, photography, copy, product designs, software and the arrangement of it all. All rights are reserved.
You may view and use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. You may share links to our public pages, and you may use our marks to refer to us accurately — for example, in a video about our merch. You may not use our marks in a way that suggests we endorse, sponsor or are affiliated with you, and you may not put our designs on merchandise of your own.
If you believe something on the Services infringes your copyright, write to support@2sg.us with the material, where it appears, your contact details, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorised to act. We will investigate and remove infringing material.
The Services connect to platforms we do not control, including Twitch, Discord, Shopify and the payment processors behind it. Your use of those platforms is governed by their terms and privacy policies, not ours, and we are not responsible for them.
None of those platforms sponsors, endorses or administers our giveaways, and none of them is responsible to you for anything we do. Direct questions about us to support@2sg.us, not to them.
Linking your Twitch account signs you in and shares a limited profile with us. You can disconnect it in your Twitch settings, though doing so may prevent you signing in. Links to other sites are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement.
2nd String Gaming, LLC pledges 2.4% of its yearly profit to neurodiversity-affirming autism research and to programs shaped by autistic people.
The pledged amount is calculated on the company’s profit for a completed fiscal year and is then given away in three equal donations, one in each of the first three quarters of the following fiscal year. The fourth quarter is our planning quarter and carries no donation. As an example: profit earned in 2026 is donated in three equal instalments in Q1, Q2 and Q3 of 2027.
The recipient organisation or organisations are being selected and will be named here before the first donation is made. We publish what we have given and to whom.
The pledge is a commitment by the company against its annual profit. It is not a per-item donation, and no individual purchase generates any particular donation. If the company records no profit for a fiscal year, no donation arises for that year.
Nothing on the Services should be read as a representation that buying a specific item sends a specific amount to a specific cause.
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, and we do not promise the Services will be available, uninterrupted or error-free. We may perform maintenance without notice.
We may change these Terms. The current version is always posted here with its version number and date. Material changes will be notified on the Services or by email, and continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept it. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Services and close your account.
A change to these Terms does not change the Official Rules of a giveaway already open — those are amended on their own terms.
You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or close your account under Section 8. Sections 7, 9, 13, 14, 15 and 16 survive termination.
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Services will meet your requirements, that access will be uninterrupted, timely or secure, that defects will be corrected, or that the Services are free of harmful components. No advice or information you get from us creates any warranty not stated here.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this Section may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither we nor our owners, contractors, agents or suppliers are liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms, whether in contract, tort or any other theory, even if we were advised such damages were possible.
Our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (US$100).
If entries are lost or destroyed through our fault, your sole remedy is replacement with an equal number of entries.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of Your Content, your use of the Services, or your breach of these Terms or of any law.
Some states do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this Section may not apply to you. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
It changes how disputes between us are resolved. It requires individual arbitration and gives up your right to sue in court before a judge or jury, and your right to take part in a class action.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Talk to us first. Before starting any proceeding, send a written description of the dispute and the relief you want to support@2sg.us. We will do the same. If it is not resolved within thirty (30) days, either of us may start arbitration.
Any unresolved dispute will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Clark County, Nevada, or conducted remotely at the arbitrator's discretion. The arbitrator decides all issues except the enforceability of the class action waiver below, which is for a court. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only individually. You and we each waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. If this waiver is unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement in this Section is void and disputes go to the courts named below.
Your right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by emailing support@2sg.us with your name, your account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration, within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect anything else in these Terms, and we will not treat you any differently for it.
Small claims. Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court, if it qualifies.
Where arbitration does not apply, you and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Clark County, Nevada.
These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and any applicable Official Rules, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Services, and supersede anything said elsewhere, including on stream or on social media.
If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it is severed and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor, including on incorporation or a sale of the business.
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between us. There are no third-party beneficiaries.
Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation".
