13. DISQUALIFICATION OF USERS AND CANCELLATION OF CONTESTS
FantasySports4Life™, in its sole discretion, may disqualify any entrant from the Site or Service, refuse to award fantasy points or prizes and require the return of any prizes, if an entrant engages in conduct FantasySports4Life™ deems to be improper, unfair or otherwise adverse to the operation of the Site or Service or in any way detrimental to other entrants. Improper conduct includes, but is not limited to: falsifying personal information required to use the Service or to claim a prize; accumulating, or attempting to accumulate, points or prizes through unauthorized methods such as automated scripts or other automated means; tampering with the administration of the Service or trying to in any way tamper with the computer programs associated with this Service; obtaining other entrants’ information and spamming other entrants; engaging in Collusion with other contest participants; abusing the FantasySports4Life™ Site in any way; or using language that in the sole discretion of FantasySports4Life™ is deemed offensive, intimidating, or in violation of the spirit of building a healthy and friendly fantasy sports environment. You further acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any prize shall in no way prevent FantasySports4Life™ from pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.
FantasySports4Life™ additionally reserves the right to cancel, terminate, modify, or suspend any contest for any reason, or no reason at all. One reason why FantasySports4Life™ may choose to cancel, terminate, modify or suspend a given contest is if we deem, in our sole discretion, that not enough contestants have entered as of the time in which the contest is otherwise scheduled to begin. Another reason for cancelation, termination, modification or suspension is based upon technical malfunction (this could lead to a contest’s cancellation, termination, modification or suspension even after the contest’s designated start time). If a contest is cancelled, terminated, modified or suspended, FantasySports4Life™ will notify you, and your entry fees will be refunded in full.
It is possible the decisions that FantasySports4Life™ makes with respect to a given entry may differ from those appearing on your league’s Fantasy Sports Host Site. In all cases, the decisions reached by FantasySports4Life™about winners, prizes and eligibility are final, even to the extent those decisions may differ from those appearing on the third party Fantasy Sports Host Site website.

If such cancellation, termination, modification or suspension occurs, notification will be posted on the FantasySports4Life™ Site.
