Under no circumstances shall a User be permitted to use his/her User Account with Superlative for any purpose other than for the purposes allowed in this Agreement. You must provide full and truthful information in respect of all details and information provided by you to Superlative, and you are obligated to update such details in the event of any change thereto.

3. COLLUSION. Collusion between Users by sharing hole cards or by any other methods is strictly forbidden. Superlative reserves the right, in addition to other measures, to restrict seating and/or to prohibit Users from playing at a particular poker table or in a tournament, including restricting two or more Users from playing together at the same table or in the same tournament. In addition, Superlative reserves the right to consider any collusion or attempt at collusion between players (including Users) as a material breach of this Agreement and accordingly Superlative shall have the right to terminate a User Account if a User engages or attempts to engage in any such activity, regardless of the outcome of such attempt.

4. EXTERNAL PLAYER ASSISTANCE TOOLS. Superlative prohibits external player assistance tools ("EPA Tools") that are designed to provide an "unfair advantage" to players. Superlative defines EPA Tools as computer software (other than the Software), and non-software-based systems (e.g., web sites, subscription services, and physical material). Superlative takes a broad view of what constitutes an "unfair advantage" in the context of any use of EPA Tools. For the avoidance of doubt, what is prohibited encompasses but is not limited to accessing or compiling information on other players beyond that which you have personally observed through your gameplay or receiving advice, direction or assistance on how to play, in real-time, that goes beyond a basic level.

5. AUTOMATIC PLAYERS (BOTS). The use of artificial intelligence, including, without limitation, "robots" is strictly forbidden in connection with the Service. All actions taken concerning the Service by a User must be executed personally by players through the user interface accessible by use of the Software, and without the assistance of any form of artificial intelligence.

7. CHIP-DUMPING. Chip-dumping occurs when any User intentionally loses a poker hand to transfer his chips to another User deliberately. Any User who participates or attempts to join in chip-dumping with any other User, including being the recipient of funds, while using the Service may be permanently banned from using the Service and their User Account may be terminated immediately. In such circumstances, Superlative will be under no obligation to refund to you any monies that may be in your User Account at such time.

8. FRAUDULENT BEHAVIOR. In the event that Superlative deems that a User has engaged or attempted to engage in fraudulent, unlawful, dishonest, collusive or improper activity while using the Service, including without limitation, participating in any of the actions set forth in this clause 6 or any other game manipulation, or the making of any fraudulent payment, including without limitation, use of a stolen credit card or fraudulent chargeback or money laundering, Superlative shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including, but not limited to:

1. immediately blocking a User's access to the Service;

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing applies equally to residents and citizens of other nations while located in a Prohibited Jurisdiction. 

9. Any attempt to circumvent the restrictions on play by any persons located in a Prohibited Jurisdiction is a breach of this Agreement. An attempt at circumvention includes, but is not limited to, manipulating the information used by Superlative and/or its service providers to identify your location and providing Superlative and/or its service providers with false or misleading information regarding your location or place of residence. Any such attempt will entitle us to take such steps, as we deem appropriate including, without limitation, seizing the funds in your User Account.
