This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use the Services, as permitted by these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of our Services or software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit those restrictions or you have our written permission.

You must also comply with all applicable third party terms of service when using our software.

Except as explicitly allowed by these Terms, you may not download, upload, print, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, post, transmit, modify, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, adapt, distribute, transfer, or exploit the Services, our software or any content therein, in whole or in part without our prior written authorization.

Third Party Services

Our Services contain links to content, products and services of third parties (“Third Party Services”). These Third Party Services are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, products or services, performance, operation, availability, business practices or policies. We are providing these Third Party Services to you only as a convenience but we do not imply any endorsement or recommendation of their content, products, or services, or of any association of us with such third parties. If you access any of these Third Party Services, you do this entirely at your own risk and any charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties, are your responsibility.

 

Fees

We charge fees for the use of our Services and for certain products and features, which are described in the Services, those specific products and features, and/or these Terms. These fees are subject to change at any time. We (or, in most cases, the App Provider) will charge your payment account or credit card for such purchases. By selecting these products, services or features, you are agreeing to pay the applicable fees assessed to your account. These fees do not include charges from your mobile carrier (like for any data plans), which you are responsible for paying. For our subscription-based services, we will charge your account at the beginning of each month and monthly thereafter until you cancel. You must cancel your subscription before it renews each month to avoid the billing of the next month’s fees to your account. You will not receive a refund for any partial month cancellation.

 

Virtual Assets

The Services include access to virtual, digital items and goods (collectively, “Virtual Assets”), which can be purchased from us using “real world” money, if you are of legal age in your country of residence. You agree that all sales of Virtual Assets are final. No refunds will be given or exchanges made for cash, except in our sole and absolute discretion. You agree that all Virtual Assets purchased by you are forfeited if your account is terminated or if we discontinue providing those portions of the Services. We have the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate any or all Virtual Assets as we see fit. Prices and availability of Virtual Assets are subject to change without notice. We will not be liable to you or anyone else for the exercise of these rights.

 

Limited License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we (and/or our licensors) grant you a limited license to use the Virtual Assets within the Services. Additional rights or licenses may be granted or authorized with certain Virtual Assets. Other than the rights explicitly granted or authorized under that license, you have no other right, title, or interest in or to any such Virtual Assets, or any other attributes associated with the use of the Virtual Assets stored within the Services.

 

No Transfer. You understand that while you may "buy" or "purchase" Virtual Assets, you do not in fact own the Virtual Assets. You are purchasing a license to use the item or content that represents Virtual Assets for the Services. Virtual Assets do not have any value outside the Services and do not represent a stored value. Transfers of Virtual Assets are strictly prohibited except where explicitly authorized within the Services. Regardless of the terminology used, however, you may not buy or sell any Virtual Assets outside the Services or exchange or redeem them for “real world” money, goods or other items of monetary value from us or any other person. Doing so or attempting to do so will be a violation of these Terms.

 

Account Deactivation and Termination

By You. You can deactivate or terminate your account at any time through your account settings or by sending us a written request to deactivate or terminate your account.

 

By Us. We reserve the right to deactivate or terminate your account or suspend your access to your account, if you do not pay the applicable fees on time or if we believe you have violated or breached any of your obligations in these Terms.

 

Effect of Deactivation and/or Termination. If your account is deactivated, you will not be able to access your Content or use the Services. You acknowledge and agree that in such a case, we are not obligated to provide you with a copy of or make your Content available to you, unless you reactivate your account in accordance with these Terms. If your account is deactivated, unless your subscription plan provided for a longer period, your Content will be stored for up to 30 days, however, we make no guarantee that any (or all) of your Content will be preserved or recoverable, if you do not re-activate your account within that time. We reserve the right to charge a reactivation fee if your account is deactived. If your account is terminated or your access to our Services is suspended because you violated these Terms, you will not be entitled to any refund of any fees nor will any Virtual Assets or fees be credited or reimbursed to you in any form (whether in virtual form or “real world” form) and upon termination, you will have no further right to access the Services, any of your Content or your account.

General Provisions

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding your use of our Services, which supersede and replace any prior written or oral agreements regarding the foregoing.

If any provision in these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will continue, unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. The rights or obligations to use the Services are personal to you and are not assignable, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. These Terms will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the law of a different state or jurisdiction.
