We may also, in the future, offer new services and/or features through the website (including, the release of new tools and resources). Such new features and/or services shall also be subject to these Terms of Service.
The contract for Premium Services is concluded both via browser games as well as Mobile Apps as soon as you click on the "Buy" button or similar, once you have selected the Premium Service.
The Premium Services in particular, but not exclusively, include the provision of virtual currency (e.g. "Premium Points”) and the use of game advantages by way of virtual goods or services.
The content, features and preconditions of the Premium Services that are valid at the time of the order and in the manner they are presented on our website and in the Mobile Apps shall apply.
Generally, as User, you can utilize items for a certain duration. You can also lose items during the course of a Game, for example if your company gets bankrupt during gameplay or if items are taken away by other users.
Premium Services can only be purchased through a separate order. There is no permanent or repeated obligation to purchase a Premium Service. The Mobile Apps might give you some premium functionalities, but those can be withdrawn by us at anytime.
The prices of the Premium Services valid at the time of the order, as presented by us at the relevant order page shall apply.
With regard to Mobile Apps, the prices indicated in the relevant stores (e.g. App Store or Google Play Store) apply. Payments for Mobile Apps are processed through the relevant stores. In this case, the stores' Terms of Use and Terms of Payment apply. Our Terms apply supplementary. Where there is a contradiction between the stores' GTC and these GTC, the stores' Terms of Use and Terms of Payment shall have priority.
As User, you are not entitled to a specific payment method.
You are liable towards us for any cancellations or reversal debits for which you are responsible (e.g. due to insufficient funds on your account or a credit card chargeback). You shall also bear the costs (e.g. fees charged by the payment provider) and handling fee of EUR 14.50 incurred through such a default. We are entitled to charge these amounts together with the original payment to your account or send you an invoice. You have the right to prove that no damage occurred, or that there was no damage equivalent to the amount demanded.
If you are in arrears with your payment or your payment has been cancelled while you, the User, already received the Premium Points, we are entitled to cease our services and to block the Account.
We may offer new Premium Services, items or currencies, or change or completely discontinue existing Premium Services for future use of the Games. In the event of such adaptation or cessation, we undertake to give you the opportunity to apply and use Premium Services, items or currencies you have purchased against a fee within a previously notified deadline. Alternatively, we give you, as the User, the option to convert the Premium Services, items and currencies you have purchased against a fee into a credit that you can use otherwise. If you want to apply for this, you can send us an email.
We are entitled to change the prices for Premium Services at our discretion.
As far as the game simulate currencies, e.g. Premium Points, these are Premium Services and not real money. A reconversion of the Premium Services (i.e. currencies, etc.) in real money is not possible.
As part of PSD2, Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) has been introduced by EU regulators to reduce online fraud and make the internet a safer place to transact. Our services only accept Credit Card payments with activated 3D Secure to prevent Credit Card fraud. Credit Cards without this method cannot be used to buy our premium services.
In our service it is not allowed to use bots to automate your gameplay progress or to obtain other in-game benefits. If we find out a bot has been used on an account, access to this account will be blocked immediately. If any purchased premium functions are present, these can only be transferred to a new account of the relevant user.
Prices for our premium products are subject to change without notice.
We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time.
We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in The Netherlands.
