To the extent that this User Content gives rise to any intellectual property rights, you will retain full ownership of these, however, you will grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, fully transferable and sub-licensable license to use, copy, sell or otherwise commercialise, reproduce, publicly display, create derivative works from, manufacture, distribute, license, sublicense, provide access to, exploit or make any changes, in any way and for any purpose, to the content created or submitted by you using our Services, without compensation to you.

III. VIRTUAL ITEMS

Our Services may include digital items and content such as in-game cosmetics, boosters that help you advance or other in-game enhancements, inter alia (“Virtual In-Game Objects”). Our Services may also include virtual, in-game currencies such as “coins”, “cash”, “gold”, “diamonds”, inter alia (“Virtual Currencies”). Virtual Currencies may be used or spent to obtain Virtual In-Game Objects, and in rare cases, vice versa. Virtual In-Game Objects and Virtual Currencies (collectively, “Virtual Items”) may be, inter alia, obtained through gameplay, by watching advertisements and/or by completing offers or certain steps. Virtual Items may also be purchased with “real money” or currency-like credits held by you with a third-party provider. Virtual Items exist only within our Services and have no monetary value, regardless of quantity, meaning that they can at no time be exchanged for real money, real goods or real services from PACTION GAMES or anyone else.

You do not purchase and own Virtual Items, but instead you purchase a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use such Virtual Items for your non-commercial and personal use in the Services. We reserve the right to control, regulate, change or remove any Virtual Items without notice and without any liability to you.

Unless we explicitly permit otherwise, you acknowledge and agree that you may not transfer or attempt to transfer Virtual Items to or with anyone else, and that any such transfer or attempted transfer may lead to the termination of your account as well as any Virtual Items associated with that account.

If you request that your personal data should be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy, you will permanently lose your account as well as any Virtual Items associated with that account. We are under no obligation to compensate you for any losses you may suffer.

You accept that if you delete your account, or if we delete your account in accordance with these Terms of Service, or if your account is deleted due to a suspension or termination of the Services or parts of the Services, you will lose access to any data previously associated with your account including any Virtual Items you have acquired, whether through play or purchase(s). PACTION GAMES is under no obligation to compensate you for any such losses or consequences.

If applicable, we highly encourage users to connect the Services with their account at App Stores or SNS as such action will make backups of data possible. If you choose not to connect or create your account within the Services to or with App Stores or SNS or if such account creation or account coupling is not available or possible, we may not be able to restore any Virtual Items or other data associated with the Services to a different device if you lose your first device, if your first device is damaged or if data gets corrupted. Any risk of loss of Virtual Items, which you have purchased, is transferred to you upon completion of the purchase, and any risk of loss of Virtual Items, which you have not purchased, is transferred to you at the time the Virtual Items are credited to your account and/or device. Any risk of loss of any other data previously associated with your account, including, but not limited to, your progress, the level or score you may have reached, is transferred to you immediately at the time such data is generated.

You may only purchase Virtual Items from PACTION GAMES or authorised partners, such as selected App Stores or SNS, through the Services.

IV. PURCHASE TERMS

When purchasing a license to access and use our Services or Virtual Items within our Services, PACTION GAMES does not handle and is not responsible for handling those transactions. All transactions are handled by third-party e-commerce payment providers, such as App Stores or payment providers of their or our choice. Transactions are completed via your account on these payment service providers’ services. When you make a purchase, you are bound by and agree to the pricing, payment billing policies, and the third-party payment providers’ terms of service, as notified to you at the time of purchase.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have authorisation to use any chosen payment method. Further, you agree and take full responsibility for any unauthorised use of the Services by children or anyone else and are responsible for any use of your credit card or other payment instrument by minors and anyone else.

You agree that all prices and sales of our Services or Virtual Items within our Services are final, and that neither third-party payment providers nor PACTION GAMES issue refunds for completed transactions. A purchase of Virtual Items is considered completed at the time the Virtual Items have been credited to the account you have with PACTION GAMES or to your device. Do not make inappropriate refund requests.

You are responsible for all applicable fees and taxes incurred by you or anyone using your account. Depending on which App Stores, SNS, third-party payment provider, credit card or bank you use, additional charges may be issued. PACTION GAMES and anyone but yourself accept no liability in relation to such charges.

PACTION GAMES may at any time revise the pricing of our Services and Virtual Items offered through the Services. We may also place limits on and to the total amount of Virtual Items that can be held in your account and/or purchased at once.

Any transaction-related information will be handled by PACTION GAMES in accordance with our Privacy Policy and any applicable privacy policies of the respective third-party payment provider.

REFUNDS

If you reside in the European Union, you are in certain cases entitled to withdraw from a purchase within fourteen (14) days of your purchase, without providing a reason for such request. Note that, as mentioned above, when you purchase a license to Virtual Items from PACTION GAMES, the transaction will be deemed as completed when the Virtual Items have been credited to the account you have with PACTION GAMES or to your device. This happens immediately after you complete your purchase, and for that reason, your right of withdrawal has ceased at this point. If you purchase one of our Services that is not deemed as Virtual Items, you lose your right of withdrawal once the performance and/or account creation of such Services has begun.

If you reside elsewhere in the world outside the European Union, all purchases are final, and no refunds will be made.

XII-F. FORCE MAJEURE

If unforeseen events beyond our control take place, then PACTION GAMES shall not be liable for any delay, performance or failure to perform, due to Force Majeure. This includes, but is not limited to, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial disputes, natural disasters, terrorism, war, riots, acts of civil or military authorities, compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, failure of technical facilities (internet, telecommunication, etc.), hacking, denial of service or other IT attacks, deployment of IT virus malware or similar technology, industrial action by employees of any providers of electrical power, fire, floods, storms, accidents, or default of suppliers or subcontractors, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labour or other materials shortage.

XIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW

If a dispute arises between you and PACTION GAMES, first contact us at mail@pactiongames.com directly so that we may attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If we cannot resolve the dispute within a period of 40 business days, the next steps depend on where you live. If you are a resident of the United States, we and you agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us through binding arbitration (see Section XIV). If you are a resident outside the United States, you may submit a complaint through the European Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform.

If you are a resident of the United States, these Terms of Service and any dispute arising out of or related to it as well as the Privacy Policy, other applicable policies and the Services shall be governed by and interpreted according to California law, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against PACTION GAMES must be resolved exclusively by a court located in San Francisco, California.

If you are a resident outside the United States, you agree that all disputes between you and PACTION GAMES shall be governed by the laws of Denmark, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against PACTION GAMES must be resolved exclusively by a court located in Denmark.

XIV. ARBITRATION FOR RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES

If you are a resident of or in the United States, this provision regarding binding arbitration applies to you.

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, we and you agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us through binding arbitration.

Any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind between PACTION GAMES and you arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy (including its interpretation, formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other or your use of any of our Services shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”), however, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act will apply to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and formation of these Terms of Service irrespective of any other choice of law provision contained in these Terms of Service.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of the Terms of Service, including any claim that all or any part of the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator is empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The JAMS Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at http://www.jamsadr.com/ or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the JAMS Rules and, to the extent applicable, the Consumer Minimum Standards, including the then-current limit on arbitration filing fees. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. You understand that without this mandatory provision, you would have had the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. You also understand that in some instances the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, the arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you, typically not requiring travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business.

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, or trade secret misappropriation. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, claims related to the license granted to you of our Services, are not exempt from the arbitration clause.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the sections above and below, by sending a written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Paction Games ApS, Vulcanvej 10, 4220 Korsør, Denmark, or to mail@pactiongames.com. The notice must be sent within 45 business days of the earlier of 1) your first download of the applicable Services or 2) commencing use of our Services. Please note, that if you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

XV. CLASS ACTION WAIVER FOR RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES

If you are a resident of or in the United States, you agree that any claims subject to arbitration must be conducted in your and our individual capacities only, and not as a plaintiff or class action member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
