You may establish, maintain, use and control only one account on the Service. Each account on the Service may only be owned, maintained, used and controlled by one individual. For avoidance of doubt, users may not 'co-own' accounts on the Service. In the event FanDuel determines that you have opened, maintained, used or controlled more than one account, in addition to any other rights that FanDuel may have, FanDuel reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of your accounts and terminate, withhold or revoke the awarding of any prizes.
