However, we cannot guarantee that the service will be continuous or error free.

If we cannot find any evidence of a server issue, or if we are notified over 48 hours after the loss, we will not be able to refund any items.

3. Disclaimer

You use the service at your own risk. The service is provided as is and without warranties of any kind either expressed or implied. We disclaim all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose to the fullest extent permissible.

4.1 The service may include a virtual in-game currency ("Virtual Currency") including, but not limited to coins, cash, or points, that may be purchased from us for "real world" money if you are a legal adult in your country of residence. The service may also include virtual, in-game digital items ("Virtual Goods") that may be purchased from us or "real world" money or for Virtual Currency. Regardless of the words used, Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods may never be redeemed for "real world" money, goods or other items of monetary value from us or any other party. YOU MUST BE AGED 18 OR OLDER TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO US.

4.3 We have the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods as we see fit in our sole discretion and we shall not be liable to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights.

4.4 Transfer of Virtual Currencies and Virtual Goods are strictly prohibited except where explicitly authorised within the service. Outside of the game, you may not buy or sell any Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods for "real world" money or otherwise exchange items for value. Any attempt to do so is in violation of these Terms and may result in legal action.

4.5 You agree that all sales of Virtual Goods and Currencies are final. No refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion. All Virtual Goods and Currencies are forfeited if your account is terminated or suspended for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion, or if we discontinue providing the service.

5.2 In the event your account or access to the services is terminated, suspended or cancelled, whether by you or by us, you will not be entitled to any refund nor will any credits or in-game items (eg points in an online game) be credited to you or converted to cash or other form of reimbursement and you will have no further access to your account or anything associated with it (such as points or in-game items). If your account is terminated or suspended by us, we also have the right to terminate or suspend any of your other accounts.

5.3 Legally, we are obliged to inform you of a statutory right to cancel your contract (retainer) with us. This right applies if you are a consumer and you made the contract without meeting us at our offices.
