7. VIRTUAL ITEMS AND VIRTUAL CURRENCY

We own, are licensed, or otherwise have the rights to use all content appearing or originating in our Services, including virtual items and virtual services ("Virtual Items") and fictional currencies (such as gold coins or points) ("Virtual Currency") that you purchase or obtain in order to use certain Services or certain Content in our Games.  You agree that you will only purchase Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Items from us or a third party store authorized by us, and not from any unauthorized third party.

 

Virtual Items and Virtual Currency are categories of Content provided solely for your personal and entertainment use, they may only be used in our Services, and they have no value outside of such Services. By purchasing or receiving Virtual Items and Virtual Currency ("In-Game Purchase"), you are only provided with a limited, revocable license right to use Virtual Currency and Virtual Items and do not own such Virtual Currency or Virtual Items. Any balance of Virtual Items or Virtual Currency does not reflect any stored value and YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL ITEMS HAVE NO CASH OR OTHER MONETARY VALUE AND CAN NEVER BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR EXCHANGED FOR "REAL" MONEY OR "REAL" GOODS FROM US OR ANYONE ELSE. The effective period and use range of such Virtual Items or Virtual Currency can be restricted by us, and we reserve the right to, in our discretion, modify features, functions or abilities of any element of any Virtual Items or Virtual Currency, or remove any Virtual Items or Virtual Currency.

 

You cannot sell or transfer, or attempt to sell or transfer, Virtual Items or Virtual Currency through services not provided by us. Where permitted by us, you can exchange, within our Services, those Virtual Items and Virtual Currency that cannot be purchased with "real world" money ("Tradable Items") for other Tradable Items so long as no money or anything of monetary value is paid or given for Tradable Items. Any other exchange is strictly prohibited.

 

Virtual Items and Virtual Currency may never be redeemed by you for "real world" money, goods, wares, merchandise, services, or anything of monetary value from us, any of our affiliates, or any other person, except as expressly required by applicable law.

 

 

8. PAYMENT AND ORDERS

There is no subscription fee or purchase price for accessing the Game. Some of our Games may be described as a ¡°free game¡± within the description page of App Stores. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD AND PLAY SUCH GAMES FREE OF CHARGE, BUT THESE GAMES MAY CHARGE REAL MONEY FOR ADDITIONAL GAME CONTENT (see below).

 

You acknowledge and agree to accept full responsibility for all fees and purchases made through your Account (including any unauthorized purchases) and agree to fully compensate us for any loss or harm that may result. Sesisoft will not be responsible to you for any losses resulting from an unauthorized access or use of your Account, whether fraudulently or otherwise.

 

In-Game Purchases and Payments

 

As described above, the Game will contain Virtual Items or Virtual Currency that can be purchased within the Game. We reserve the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Currency or Virtual Items ("In-Game Purchases"), or to access certain functions or Content within the Game. You should check before purchasing whether the Virtual Items or Virtual Currency to be purchased is free or not. The "prices" for these In- Game Purchases and the amounts and kinds of Virtual Items and Virtual Currency available may be altered at any time without notice. Virtual Items and Virtual Currency that you receive may also be changed or discontinued at any time without notice. We may also decide to distribute Virtual Items or Virtual Currency without charge, in our sole discretion, from time to time.

 

If you are under the age of 18 (or under the age of legal majority that applies in the jurisdiction where you access the Services) you must have your parents' or guardians' permission to make any In-Game Purchases. By completing an In-Game Purchase you are confirming that you have obtained all permissions necessary to make the purchase.

 

Any order for an In-Game Purchase constitutes an offer for use of that content. If this offer is accepted then the content will be automatically downloaded to your account.

 

In-Game Purchases can only be used within the Games, and cannot be redeemed for "real world" money or otherwise transferred.

 

You agree that all In-Game Purchases are final and YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT SESISOFT WILL NOT OFFER REFUNDS FOR VIRTUAL CURRENCY OR VIRTUAL ITEMS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, THESE TERMS, OR THE SERVICES, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AS SET OUT IN THESE TERMS.

 

If you are a resident of the European Union, the right to withdraw from such In-Game Purchase may be available to you during a 14-day period from the date of purchase ("Cooling Off Period"); however, this right of withdrawal will not apply where you commence using the In-Game Purchase before the end of the Cooling Off Period. Therefore, you expressly agree and understand that in respect of an In-Game Purchase, your right of withdrawal is forfeited upon your use of the In-Game Purchase.

 

If you use our Services with a Guest Account then you accept that you may only be able to use In-Game Purchases on the mobile device that you used when purchasing the Virtual Item and/or Virtual Currency.

 

If an Account is permanently banned, all content licenses and Virtual Currency and Virtual Items balances associated with the banned Account are forfeited. We will have no obligation or responsibility to and will not reimburse you for any Virtual Currency or Virtual Items lost due to your violation of these Terms.

 

You are responsible for paying any fees, charges and applicable taxes (including VAT, sales or other taxes) incurred in relation to an In-Game Purchase.

 

 

9. CASH AND POINTS

Through the Game, you can obtain in-game currency that is not purchased through In-Game Purchases and is provided via events or obtained by users during the game which is known as ¡°Free Cash¡±.

In addition to the aforementioned Free Cash, we may, at times during the Game, provide free points (mileage) to you and such points are known as ¡°Free Points¡±.

 

The effective period, use range and other terms of such Free Cash and Free Points obtained shall be notified by us to you.

 

Where you hold Free Cash, Free Points and Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Items purchased through an In-Game Purchase, the Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Items shall be preferentially deducted as a priority and the Free Cash and/or Free Points thereafter. However, this may vary at the sole discretion of us and as notified to you.

 

"Free Cash" and "Free Points" shall not be subject to refund or compensation.

 

 

10. SMS NOTIFICATIONS, PUSH NOTIFICATIONS & LOCAL NOTIFICATIONS

WE MAY SEND LOCAL OR PUSH NOTIFICATIONS TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF GAME UPDATES, PROMOTIONAL EVENTS, NEW GAME INFORMATION AND OTHER RELEVANT MESSAGES REGARDING THE GAME SERVICE. YOU CAN MANAGE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE ¡°OPTIONS¡± OR ¡°SETTINGS¡± PAGE WITHIN THE RELEVANT GAME. YOU MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO MANAGE THEM FROM YOUR DEVICE¡¯S SETTINGS PAGE FOR THE RELEVANT GAME.

a. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE EEA, OR ANY JURISDICTION WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

 

b. IF YOU OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW, OR

 

c. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN SECTION (E) BELOW

 

This section offers a streamlined way to resolve disputes between you and Sesisoft if they arise. If a dispute arises between you and Sesisoft, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contracting our customer support email (cs@sesisoft.com). If we cannot resolve your concern, you and Sesisoft agree to be bound by the procedure set forth in this Section to resolve any and all disputes between us.

 

a. Any matter we are unable to resolve and all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services (a "Claim"), with the exception of the matters described in Section 19(e) below, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all claims. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they may have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

 

Any such arbitration shall be conducted by the parties in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other collective, consolidated or representative action, and the parties waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in the preceding sentence is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth in this section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate claims. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Section will survive any termination of these Terms.

 

b. The arbitration shall be conducted in either San Francisco, California or in the United States county in which you reside. In the event that you select the county of your United States residence, Sesisoft may transfer the arbitration to San Francisco, California (with your consent) in the event that Sesisoft agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur, with such fees or costs (including travel costs of your attorney) to be determined by the arbitrator, as a result of the change in location to San Francisco, California.

 

c. The rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org.  The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

 

d. To the extent the initial filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the initial filing fee for a lawsuit, we will pay the difference in fees. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim is less than U.S. $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases.

 

e. Section (a) above does not apply to any claim:

(1) in which a party is attempting to protect its intellectual property rights (such as its patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights, but not including its privacy or publicity rights), or

(2) that may be brought in small claims court.

 

f. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to 2Fl., 20, Bangbae-ro 22 gil, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Korea, within 30 days of the start of your use of the Services. If you send this notice, then this section will not apply to either party. If you do not send this notice, then you agree to be bound by this section.

 

g. You and Sesisoft agree that the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration, with the exception of any disputes or claims that are filed in and within the jurisdiction of a small claims court located in the United States, and you agree to be subject to personal jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts in San Francisco, California for any suit between you and Sesisoft not subject to arbitration. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

 

h. Notwithstanding Section 19(a), above, in the event that you breach the Terms, you hereby agree that Sesisoft would be irreparably damaged if the Terms were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that Sesisoft shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of these Terms, in addition to such other remedies as Sesisoft may otherwise have available to it under applicable law.
