| Cancellations
|
|
MPI strives to be as flexible and considerate to our players
as possible. For this reason, in most cases, if a cancellation can be
done without adversely affecting the plans of a tournament, we will do
everything we can to allow the cancellation. If the cancellation is
before the cancellation deadline, you may use the entry fee you
purchased towards any other upcoming tournament.
If your
cancellation is after the cancellation deadline, you may cancel without
losing your entry fee so long as you are able to find someone to
replace you.
If your cancellation is after the deadline and
you can not find a replacement, you will forfeit your entry and loss
your entry fee. We
will not issue any refunds UNLESS the tournament dates are
changed or the tournament is cancelled.

| Legal Notes
|
 |
By entering this tournament,
sending payment, filling out the online order form, or playing in the
tournament you fully agree that you have read, fully understood, and fully
agreed to each of the following legally binding statements.
- MPI is not responsible for payment lost in the mail.
- You agree not to cheat, be verbally abusive to opponents after
they have warned you to stop, be abusive to representatives or
supervisors, racist, break any laws or contracts which you are already
bound by, or purposefully prevent other players from playing in the
tournament.
- If you are caught cheating, you will immediately be removed from
the tournament, be restricted from all future Official MPI Canasis
tournaments (up to 10 years) at Canasis, and will be forced to
resign any prizes you may have won in this tournament.
- You can be held liable for up to $500 USD for purposefully
attempting to cheat.
- If you continue to swear or be verbally abusive to your opponents
after they have asked you to stop twice, you will immediately be
removed from this tournament and risk banishment from Canasis.
- If you fail to abide by all of the statements in this agreement,
you will not be entitled to a refund, credit, or other compensation,
regardless of whether you lose, win, or are removed from the
tournament.
- If the tournament is cancelled, a full refund or credit towards
future tournaments will be issued, MPI will choose which to do.
- If the tournament is postponed, a full refund or credit towards
future tournaments will be issued, MPI will choose which to do.
- The maximum amount MPI will be liable to you is the price of your
tournament entry fee. For no reason whatsoever will you hold MPI
liable for any amount greater than that.
- Our official MPI Canasis tournaments guidelines leave room for an
average amount of technical problems, but in no way will MPI be
responsible for loss as a result of your partner, inability to play
reasonably well due to ISP or other technical problems for which you
are responsible for.
- If Canasis fails to operate reasonably well during the tournament
for many players, MPI reserves the right to postpone the tournament or
a portion of the tournament to a later date.
- If Canasis fails to operate reasonably well (reasonably meaning
approximately as well as the average player can use Canasis), and
you did not warn MPI of this fact even though you could have known
about it in advance, you will not be issued a refund or credit.
- If Canasis fails to operate reasonably well (reasonably meaning
approximately as well as the average player can use Canasis), but
there was no way to predict it, we will issue a refund or credit, MPI
will decide which.
- You agree that, if unusual problems occur, MPI may choose that you
play best out of 5 sets instead of best out of 3 to ensure that both
players are still given a fair chance to compete.
- Canasis and this tournament is for entertainment only. You are
paying the entry fee specifically for entertainment value that
you receive from playing, not for the chance to win the prizes. Prizes
are not the primary purpose of this tournament, they are used, at the
most, as an incentive to convince players to play in the tournament
for entertainment.
- For the winners of prizes only, we reserve the right to disclose
name and state to the government should it be required by law. We also
reserve the right to disclose the name and state of winners to the
public if the law requires us to, or if a situation arises where the
general public does not have faith that the winning nickname is
actually a real person. These are last resorts, and if need to do
this, we will obtain the permission of the winners first or allow them
to cancel prizes and receive a full refund.
- This tournament is void where prohibited by law. You agree to hold
MPI Canasis harmless if you are breaking any of your laws by
participating in this tournament. It is your responsibility to
determine if you are allowed to participate in this tournament.
- MPI reserves the right to reject any entry to a tournament for any
reason, including mistakes in sending payments, late payments, bad
reputation for cheating or being abusive, violating any contract or
law, or any other reason MPI chooses. When someone is refused entry,
we will not process their entry fee and will not accept payment from
them.
