Gambling App Fails to Create Binding Terms of Service–Wilson v. Huuuge

I’ve blogged about the Big Fish gambling case before Judge Leighton. He declined to order arbitration in that case, finding that Big Fish waived its right to arbitrate by extensively litigating the case. Judge Leighton is hearing some other similar cases, and he recently declined to send those cases to arbitration, finding that plaintiff was not reasonably on notice. (This post focuses on Judge Leighton’s ruling in the Huuuge case, but there’s another case involving Double Down Interactive where Judge Leighton reached a similar result. Benson v. Double Down Interactive, Case No. 2:18-cv-00525-RBL (W.D. Wash. Nov. 13, 2018).)

The court starts out by noting the plaintiff did not have to click I agree and thus never affirmatively indicated assent. Huuuge, the defendant, did not provide evidence that plaintiff knew about the terms. Instead, it argued the plaintiff had inquiry notice.

The court says that users can review the terms in two places: (1) when they download the game, and (2) in the “settings” menu. Unfortunately for Huuuge, it takes prospective users several screens to get to the terms, and nothing next to the download button alerts users of the terms.

Access of the terms in the settings area is similarly challenging and not essential to the game. The settings area is not obviously demarcated. And again, nothing apprises the user that there are terms.

The court cited to Nguyen v. Barnes and Noble and Meyer v. Uber Technologies as cases that turn on whether the customer is apprised of the existence of the terms. The court says the result may have been different in the case of Huuuge had the terms appeared next to the download button. The court says the configuration of the download in the app store is even more problematic because the user can download the app when it comes up in search results without even reading the explanatory text (in the full app page).

Huuuge, citing Verio, argued that users played the game multiple times, so they must somehow be on notice. The court says that Verio admitted to awareness of the terms and was actually crawling (albeit using a machine) the entirety of the webpages, including the terms.

Huuuge also makes the argument that users should be presumed to have knowledge of the terms because “everyone knows that all apps comes with terms.” The court says nay:

The Court declines to adopt Huuuge’s suggestion. While online users today are savvier than in the past, this does not mean that the rules of contract law no longer apply. If an app developer wishes to bind a user to their copious terms, the onus is on the developer to at least provide reasonable notice and easy access. This is not a difficult thing to do when designing an app, despite Huuuge’s protestations that the Court should devise some special rule for app store purchases. . . . The fact is, Huuuge chose to make its Terms non-invasive so that users could charge ahead to play their game. Now, they must live with the consequences of that decision.

Ouch.

The court also takes a shot at the fruit stand metaphor that some cases have relied on.

___

The court focuses on the inevitable tension in terms of service implementation. The lawyers want to make the terms of service a hurdle that users cannot access the app without passing. The developers and marketing folks want to make the terms not invasive, so the users can (as the court characterizes it) “charge ahead to play their game”. The latter course of action is risky. Here, it made the difference between being able to send a case to arbitration, potentially avoiding a class action on the one hand, and dealing with full discovery on what could be a very expensive claim, on the other.

Courts have different in their treatment of user expectation with respect to terms. It’s odd from a legal standpoint to see a judge speculate about something that probably varies significantly by generation and age. Here the judge takes a conservative viewpoint and doesn’t credit the app developer with an argument that presumes consumer knowledge of terms. That makes sense in these circumstances.

I’m guessing Huuuge will appeal given that an appeal puts a hold on district court proceedings.

___

Eric’s Comments:

As Venkat notes, this ruling addresses a number of frontiers in online contract formation law:

contract disclosures buried well below an app’s download button are worthless. This is just a recapitulation of the uncited Specht v. Netscape case from over a dozen years ago

contract terms buried in an app’s “settings” are worthless

mere repetitive use of a service isn’t enough to form a contract. The court says: ” a hyperlink may be tucked away in a corner of a website or buried beneath a mountain of text and still be theoretically “available” to a user. While repeatedly playing a game may make it more likely that at some point the ‘Terms of Use’ hyperlink will cross a user’s field of vision, Nguyen specifically held that this is not enough for inquiry notice.” The court goes on to suggest that users may even form “terms blindness” as they grow to ignore seemingly irrelevant parts of the page’s UI.

despite the ubiquity of online terms, consumers are not presumed to know that contract terms apply to their usage or obligated to go hunting for the disclosures. This is a helpful counterweight to some possibly contrary intimations from the Second Circuit’s Meyer ruling

(Note: this is another case where the court laments the failings of the clickwrap/browsewrap nomenclature: “Courts have also recognized that the labels of ‘clickwrap’ and ‘browsewrap’ do not encompass every type of online consumer contract.” SIGH).

Of course, as an outsider, it seems like all of Huuuge’s arguments are designed to mask Huuuge’s self-inflicted problem. It’s trivially easy to properly form an online contract if there’s a will to do so. So here’s the perennial reminder: if you want to form a contract with users, say it loud and proud. If you try any other approach, the courts won’t take pity on you.

Poder Femenino y mucha buena vibra engalanan el debut venezolano

La abanderada Katherine Echandia (levantamiento de pesas), Karina Clemant (triatlón), María Giménez (judo) y Anabella Acurero (esgrima) listas para la acción

Prensa Comité Olímpico Venezolano.- Venezuela debuta este domingo siete de octubre con once venezolanos en ocho deportes, durante el primer día de acciones de los III Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud que se celebran en Buenos Aires.

El poder femenino será el encargado de batallar por el pabellón criollo desde el vamos en Argentina: la abanderada Katherine Echandia (levantamiento de pesas) buscará seguir la senda de Génesis Rodríguez, quien estrenó el medallero en Singapur 2010 con la medalla de bronce en los entonces 48kg (71 + 83 = 154).

La criolla, líder del ranking mundial en los -44kg, tendrá como rivales en el orden de salida de la plataforma olímpica del Pabellón Europa en el Parque Olímpico a RAVAKINIAINA Berthine (MAD), bronce en el juvenil africano, Adamaris Santiago (PUR), subcampeona del preolímpico en Colombia, KARASAKAL Nida (TUR), tercera de Europa éste año, y a NGUYEN Thi Thu Trang (VIE), subcampeona juvenil asiática.

Sobre la pedana

La carabobeña Anabella Acurero, duodécima del mundo este año, verá acción en la pedana del Pabellón África Pista Verde en la modalidad de Florete Individual. Allí, enfrentará en el Pool A a la francesa Venissia Thepauth.

El podio de esta prueba en la cita de Nanjing 2014 lo lideró la estadounidense Sabrina Massialas (USA), quien se impuso en la final frente a la nipona Karin Miyawaki (JAP). Ali Huang (CHN) y Marta Martyanova (RUS) completaron el medallero.

En Singapur 2010 el oro fue para la italiana Camilla Mancini y la plata para Victoria Alekseeva (RUS), mientras Dóra Lupkovics (HUG) se apuntó el bronce.

En el tatami

El judo tendrá éste domingo en acción a la bolívarense María Giménez, recién coronada reina de la Súper Copa Júnior de Valencia, España, quien qued�� ubicada en el pool b del draw en los -44kg, una pirámide compuesta por 14 peleadoras, donde salió bye y deberá esperar por el resultado del duelo de dieciseisavos entre la local argentina Mikaela Rojas y la africana FAISSAL ABDOURAHMAN Houda (Djibouti) para iniciar su andar en el tatami del Pabellón Asia del Parque Olímpico de Buenos Aires, camino a la ronda semifinal éste 7 de octubre.

Constancia y resistencia

Karina Clemant representa la continuidad del triatlón criollo en los olímpicos juveniles. Con 17 años posee experiencia en tierras internacionales tras surcar los II Juegos Suramericanos de la Juventud Santiago 2017, el clasificatorio a Buenos Aires en Salinas, Ecuador éste año y el clasificatorio panamericano 2018 en donde subió al podio.

La larense, que se ubicó en el puesto 16 del Preolímpico Continental en Salinas este año con 01:05:07, se batirá contra 33 triatlonistas del planeta en la prueba olímpica de Buenos Aires 2018, que compone 750 m de natación en aguas abiertas, una carrera de ciclismo de 20 km y 5km corriendo.

En Singapur 2010 Andrea Arenas terminó en la vigésima cuarta posición (01:08:49) y Carlos Pérez cerró en el puesto 18 (00:57:35) en las pruebas individuales ganadas hace ocho años por Yuka Sato de Japón (01:00:48) y Aaron Barclay de Nueva Zelanda (00:54:41), respectivamente.

En Nanjing 2014 el oro fue para Ben Dijkstra de Gran Bretaña (00:54:43) y Brittany Dutton de Australia (00:59:56).

En las piletas

Andrea Santander es la primera de tres nadadores que clasificó Venezuela, que se sumergirá en la piscina olímpica del Centro Acuático de Buenos Aires, donde habrán este domingo 34 inscritas en la prueba de los 200 metros combinados individual femenino, una de las dos que nadará la criolla en sus olimpiadas (100 estilo libre).

En Nanjing 2014 la vietnamita Nguyen Thi Anh Vien se apoderó de la medalla de oro tras completar cuatro piscinas en ésta prueba con cronos de 2:12.66.

Santander, especialista en el estilo libre (100 m) sumó dos preseas en los Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe 2018: Plata y bronce. También se colgó el oro, plata y bronce en el Hall of Fame, Fort Lauder dale, para llegar a Argentina con un buen perfomance.

Sobre la arena

Un total de 32 equipos masculinos y 32 femeninos le dan vida a la segunda edición del voleibol de playa de los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud, que este año se realizará en la arena del Parque Verde en territorio argentino.

Gabriel Hernández y José Osorio llegaron al olimpo con el listón bien alto dejado por sus antecesores José “Tigrito” Gómez y Pedro Hernández, quienes se colgaron la medalla de plata luego de un torneo heróico al que el binomio ruso le puso freno en aquella final en tierras chinas hace cuatro años.

En el renglón femenino Urimar Narváez y Diana Ramírez serán representación nacional desde éste domingo en la arena del Parque Verde en territorio argentino.

Arte en Buenos Aires

El mirándino Victor Betancourt, quien alcanzó su clasificación olímpica en la disciplina de la gimnasia artística durante el Panamericano Juvenil que se llevó a cabo en tierra argentina este año, con un puntaje de 21,550 en los ejercicios de suelo, intervendrá en ésa prueba y también en el caballo con arzones este domingo en el Pabellón América del Parque Olímpico.

Sobre ruedas

Gustavo Rodríguez (1000 m y 5000m combinados masculinos) será el primer venezolano que compita en el patinaje de velocidad en unos Juegos Olímpicos, ésta es una de las ocho disciplinas que se estrenan en Buenos Aires: karate, escalada deportiva, breaking, patinaje de velocidad sobre ruedas, futsal, kiteboarding, beach handball y BMX Freestyle.

Serán 14 corredores tanto en los 1000 como en los 5000 metros combinados, donde destaca la presencia de cinco atletas del área panamericana como son el criollo Rodríguez, Nahuel Shelling (ARG), Ignacio Mardones (CHI), Jhony Angulo (COL) y David Sarmiento (ECU).

Sueño olímpico

Un total de 53 atletas representará desde este sábado a Venezuela en la tercera edición de los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud de Buenos Aires, Argentina, que se extenderán hasta el 18 de octubre.

Day 3 Report from the World 9-ball Championship

IT’S ALL BUSINESS FROM HERE ON IN

The final 64 single elimination field is set for a sprint to the World 9-ball crown.

By Ted Lerner WPA Press Officer Photos courtesy of Bo Bader

(Doha, Qatar)–It’s time to get down to the serious business end of things in Doha, as the field of 128 has been cut in half after three days of group play at the 2017 World 9-ball Championship.  From here the remaining 64 players will engage in a three day sprint to pool’s most prestigious title. Whoever wins six straight matches will be crowned the new WPA World 9-ball Champion on December 14th.

There was no escaping the tension on Monday inside the cavernous Al Arabi Sports Club as all 32 matches played were do-or-die. “Judgment Day” as it’s known in pool circles always brings out the drama as players, many of them who could just as easily find themselves lifting the title, scramble for their pool playing lives trying to escape the always dreaded group stages. One single roll of the ball could spell the difference between total disaster and a life changing run at glory.

Myanmar’s Maung Maung is not one player pool fans would expect to be a serious contender over the next few days. But the 23 year old ex-snooker player, who has lived and practiced in Beijing, China for the last three years, certainly turned some heads yesterday with a scintillating performance against the Philippines talented Johann Chua. Chua, who recently won the All Japan Championship in Osaka a few weeks back, is one Filipino player many fans thought might make a run at the title this year. But the sharp shooting Pinoy never had a chance as Maung cruised to an impressive 9-3 win. It’s the first time in the history of the World 9-ball Championship that a player from Myanmar has made it to the knockout rounds.

Die hard Filipino fans need not worry, however, as seven other Pinoys passed the grade and made it through to the knockout rounds.  On Monday, veteran Warren Kiamco, Roland Garcia, and Qatar based Israel Rota and Francisco Felicilda all won handily to punch their tickets to the Final 64.  There they’ll join Carlo Biado, Jeffrey De Luna and Jeffrey Ignacio in the quest for pool glory. A Filipino has not won the World 9-ball Championship since legend Francisco Bustamante pulled off the feat here in Doha in 2010.

In terms of numbers via country, the Taiwanese are the clear winners at this point.  10 Taiwanese make up the final 64, including world number one Chang Jung Lin, and 2015 World 9-ball Champion Ko Pin Yi. The pressure of Judgement Day certainly didn’t affect the Taiwanese as four players made it through including Lo Li Wen, Nien Rong Chih, Hsieh Chia Chen and Yu Li Si. The only Taiwanese player not to make it through yesterday was Cheng  Yu Hsuan, who just happened to be up against a compatriot, Lo Li Wen.

The Polish side has been quietly putting in a stellar performance in this year’s championship with six Poles qualifying for the final 64.  On Monday, players from Poland stepped up big time, going 4-1 for their best performance perhaps ever. Winners included Mateusz Sniegocki, Mieszko Fortunski, Wojciech Szewczyk, and Wiktor Zielinski. Zielinkski, it should be noted, is just 16 years old and is one of the rising stars on the European pool playing circuit, having recently won a Euro Tour event.

The Chinese team also cashed in their chips on Monday with four out of six   winning and going through.  Team China will have 5 players competing for the title starting today. One noted player who will not be among them, however, is former World 9-ball Champion, Wu Jiaqing. Wu fell to 21 year old Swede Daniel Tangudd, 9-5 and was eliminated from the event.  

Prominent Europeans who made it through on Monday include two time World 9-ball Champion Thorsten Hohmann of Germany, 2015 World 9-ball Champion Niels Feijen, Spain’s David Alcaide, and Russia’s Ruslan Chinakhov.

One player that seems to have caught the eye of many fans around the world is Canada’s John Morra. Two years ago Morra was a definite rising star in the pool world, and proved it by reaching the quarterfinals at the World 9-ball Championship in Doha in 2015. Morra then briefly stepped away from the game only to return with a renewed hunger for the winner’s circle.  Several months back he won the Canadian 9-ball championship which won him a paid trip to Doha. Yesterday, Morra  took down Argentina’s Arial Castro, 9-6, to advance to the knockout rounds. Nobody in the pool  world would be surprised if the talented Canadian makes some serious noise over the next few days.

“Today I played pretty well,” a refreshed looking Morra said after qualifying. “I’m over the jet lag and I feel pretty well. The last few months I’ve been playing really well. I’ve been traveling all over the US. I got in some big money matches.  I got the hunger back. I had lost it last year.  I didn’t feel like playing the game.  I had problems in my neck and I was stressed. I’m an emotional player.  But right now I feel great and I’m motivated.   I feel I can go all the way.”

Play in the round of 64 begins at 10am Doha time(GMT +3.) The round of 64 and 32 will be played today, with 16 players remaining at the end of the three sessions.

All matches will be race to 11, alternate break. The final on Thursday will be a race to 13, alternate break.

Day 3 Report from the World 9-ball Championship

IT’S ALL BUSINESS FROM HERE ON IN

The final 64 single elimination field is set for a sprint to the World 9-ball crown.

(Doha, Qatar)–It’s time to get down to the serious business end of things in Doha, as the field of 128 has been cut in half after three days of group play at the 2017 World 9-ball Championship.  From here the remaining 64 players will engage in a three day sprint to pool’s most prestigious title. Whoever wins six straight matches will be crowned the new WPA World 9-ball Champion on December 14th.

There was no escaping the tension on Monday inside the cavernous Al Arabi Sports Club as all 32 matches played were do-or-die. “Judgment Day” as it’s known in pool circles always brings out the drama as players, many of them who could just as easily find themselves lifting the title, scramble for their pool playing lives trying to escape the always dreaded group stages. One single roll of the ball could spell the difference between total disaster and a life changing run at glory.

Myanmar’s Maung Maung is not one player pool fans would expect to be a serious contender over the next few days. But the 23 year old ex-snooker player, who has lived and practiced in Beijing, China for the last three years, certainly turned some heads yesterday with a scintillating performance against the Philippines talented Johann Chua. Chua, who recently won the All Japan Championship in Osaka a few weeks back, is one Filipino player many fans thought might make a run at the title this year. But the sharp shooting Pinoy never had a chance as Maung cruised to an impressive 9-3 win. It’s the first time in the history of the World 9-ball Championship that a player from Myanmar has made it to the knockout rounds.

Die hard Filipino fans need not worry, however, as seven other Pinoys passed the grade and made it through to the knockout rounds.  On Monday, veteran Warren Kiamco, Roland Garcia, and Qatar based Israel Rota and Francisco Felicilda all won handily to punch their tickets to the Final 64.  There they’ll join Carlo Biado, Jeffrey De Luna and Jeffrey Ignacio in the quest for pool glory. A Filipino has not won the World 9-ball Championship since legend Francisco Bustamante pulled off the feat here in Doha in 2010.

In terms of numbers via country, the Taiwanese are the clear winners at this point.  10 Taiwanese make up the final 64, including world number one Chang Jung Lin, and 2015 World 9-ball Champion Ko Pin Yi. The pressure of Judgement Day certainly didn’t affect the Taiwanese as four players made it through including Lo Li Wen, Nien Rong Chih, Hsieh Chia Chen and Yu Li Si. The only Taiwanese player not to make it through yesterday was Cheng  Yu Hsuan, who just happened to be up against a compatriot, Lo Li Wen.

The Polish side has been quietly putting in a stellar performance in this year’s championship with six Poles qualifying for the final 64.  On Monday, players from Poland stepped up big time, going 4-1 for their best performance perhaps ever. Winners included Mateusz Sniegocki, Mieszko Fortunski, Wojciech Szewczyk, and Wiktor Zielinski. Zielinkski, it should be noted, is just 16 years old and is one of the rising stars on the European pool playing circuit, having recently won a Euro Tour event.

The Chinese team also cashed in their chips on Monday with four out of six   winning and going through.  Team China will have 5 players competing for the title starting today. One noted player who will not be among them, however, is former World 9-ball Champion, Wu Jiaqing. Wu fell to 21 year old Swede Daniel Tangudd, 9-5 and was eliminated from the event.  

Prominent Europeans who made it through on Monday include two time World 9-ball Champion Thorsten Hohmann of Germany, 2015 World 9-ball Champion Niels Feijen, Spain’s David Alcaide, and Russia’s Ruslan Chinakhov.

One player that seems to have caught the eye of many fans around the world is Canada’s John Morra. Two years ago Morra was a definite rising star in the pool world, and proved it by reaching the quarterfinals at the World 9-ball Championship in Doha in 2015. Morra then briefly stepped away from the game only to return with a renewed hunger for the winner’s circle.  Several months back he won the Canadian 9-ball championship which won him a paid trip to Doha. Yesterday, Morra  took down Argentina’s Arial Castro, 9-6, to advance to the knockout rounds. Nobody in the pool  world would be surprised if the talented Canadian makes some serious noise over the next few days.

“Today I played pretty well,” a refreshed looking Morra said after qualifying. “I’m over the jet lag and I feel pretty well. The last few months I’ve been playing really well. I’ve been traveling all over the US. I got in some big money matches.  I got the hunger back. I had lost it last year.  I didn’t feel like playing the game.  I had problems in my neck and I was stressed. I’m an emotional player.  But right now I feel great and I’m motivated.   I feel I can go all the way.”

Play in the round of 64 begins at 10am Doha time(GMT +3.) The round of 64 and 32 will be played today, with 16 players remaining at the end of the three sessions.

All matches will be race to 11, alternate break. The final on Thursday will be a race to 13, alternate break.
