Finally, you agree that App Store operators, and their subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of the Agreement solely for the purpose of enforcing the applicable Terms against you in connection with your use of the App.

6. Virtual Items


6.1        The Service may feature: (a) in-game virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, gems, tokens, fictional credits, items, rewards, points, currency, or the like which are available for purchase; or (b) virtual in-game items (in-game virtual currency and virtual in-game items are collectively, “Virtual Items”). In the Service you may purchase, with "real world" money, a license to use Virtual Items and or other goods or services. You may also obtain a license to use Virtual Items by redeeming Playdemic game cards or third party virtual currency, such as Facebook Credits. If you purchase Virtual Items, you agree to the applicable pricing and payment terms. Such terms will be displayed in connection with that aspect of the Service requiring payment. Playdemic may update pricing and payment terms at any time and in its sole discretion. If you purchase Facebook Credits from Facebook, you are agreeing to Facebook's Payment Terms and Playdemic is not a party to the transaction.

6.2        All payment transactions are administered by a third-party payment processor or third-party store. To the extent permitted by law, Playdemic expressly disclaims any liability for the processing of any transactions by a third party, including any errors in invoicing or payment processing or any breach in security with respect to your payment information associated with the third-party’s handling of the transaction. Playdemic is not responsible or liable to you for any credit card, bank-related, or other financial service charges and fees related to your transactions. You represent and warrant that all payment information you provide is correct, current, and complete. You agree to pay all applicable charges (including any applicable taxes) billed to your chosen payment method. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel transactions, including due to pricing or other typographical errors.

6.3        The Virtual Items may be used exclusively within the Service. You receive only a limited, personal, non-transferrable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, and fully revocable licence to use the Virtual Items in connection with the Service and as governed by these Terms. You have no right, title, interest, or ownership in or to any Virtual Items. Virtual Items have no monetary value and are not redeemable for any sum of money. You acknowledge that you do not in fact "own" the Virtual Items and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, you may purchase a limited license to use certain elements of the Service, including software programs that occasionally manifest themselves as these items. The purchase and sale of the limited license referred to in these Terms of Service is a completed transaction upon receipt of your direct payment or redemption of a Playdemic game card or a third party virtual currency like Facebook Credits. Any "virtual currency" balance shown in your Account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. Purchase or redemptions of third party virtual currency to acquire a license to use virtual items are non-refundable.

6.4        You will receive no compensation for any Virtual Items that are deleted, modified, or to which you lose access if your Account is terminated, suspended, or otherwise limited as a result of a breach or a reasonably suspected breach of this Agreement, or Playdemic’s decision to terminate, update, modify or suspend all or part of the Service.

6.5        Playdemic prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of Virtual Items effectuated outside of the Service, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Service, unless otherwise expressly authorized by Playdemic in writing. Accordingly, you may not sublicense, trade, sell or attempt to sell in-game Virtual Items for "real" money, or exchange Virtual Items for value of any kind outside of a game, without Playdemic's written permission. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and will subject your Account to termination. You acknowledge and agree that Playdemic will have no liability for the use or loss of Virtual Items for any reason, including due to any unauthorized third-party activity, such as hacking, phishing, password mining, social engineering, or any other unauthorized activity. Playdemic may replace such lost Virtual Items under certain circumstances, in our sole discretion and on a case-by-case basis, without incurring any obligation or liability.

7. Additional Consumer Terms for the Purchase of Virtual Items

If we immediately delivered digital content and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind once the download, streaming or other provision of digital content, including without limitation Virtual Items, has begun.

7.3.3        You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of the following: digital products after you have started to download or stream these. By indicating your desire to purchase a licence to any digital content through the Service, including by clicking or tapping the relevant purchase button, you confirm that you acknowledge and agree that we will begin the provision of the Virtual Items to you immediately once your purchase is complete and therefore your right of withdrawal is lost at this point.

15.5        We are not responsible for business losses. We only supply the Service to you for domestic and private use.
15.6        Liability cap. In no event shall our liability to you, or your liability to us, in respect of any claim brought under these Terms exceed the greater of: (A) the amount you have paid Playdemic in respect of the Service in the one hundred and eighty (180) days immediately preceding the date on which the relevant claim is first asserted; and (B) one hundred pound sterling (£100).

16. United States Governing Law, Venue, Dispute Resolution and Aribtration

The following terms are applicable solely where you are a resident of the United States.

16.1        Governing Law. If you reside or have your place of establishment in the United States, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California and the United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the arbitration agreement in Section 16.2 must be brought in state or federal court in Los Angeles, California, unless we both agree to some other location. You and we both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California.
16.2        Arbitration Agreement.
16.2.1 This Section 16.2 (the “Arbitration Agreement”) only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. If your country of residence or establishment is not the United States, and you nevertheless attempt to bring any legal claim against Playdemic in the United States, this Arbitration Agreement will apply for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 16.2 applies to you, and all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law.
16.2.2        The parties agree that any disputes arising out of this Agreement that were not resolved via an informal negotiation directly with Playdemic’s customer support team shall be submitted to final, binding, confidential arbitration conducted in Los Angeles County under the Expedited Arbitration Procedures Rules and Procedures of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”) before a single, neutral arbitrator who is a former or retired California state or federal court judge who shall follow California law and the Federal Rules of Evidence and have no authority to award punitive damages. Either party may enforce a final arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, including an award of costs, fees and expenses incurred in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief (unless otherwise precluded by any other provision of this Agreement) in the state and federal courts of California.
16.3        Jury Trial Waiver. You and Playdemic acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable disputes.
16.4        No Class Action or Representative Proceedings. This clause only applies to you if your country of residence or establishment is the United States. You and Playdemic acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative or consolidated proceeding. Unless we agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of the waiver contained in this paragraph as to any claim, cause of action or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action or requested remedy, will be severed from this agreement to arbitrate and will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that a claim, cause of action or requested remedy is severed pursuant to this paragraph, then you and we agree that the claims, causes of action or requested remedies that are not subject to arbitration will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action and requested remedies are resolved by the arbitrator.

17. Non-United States Governing Law

The following terms are applicable solely where you are not a resident of the United States.

17.1        The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.

17.2        If a dispute arises between us you may contact our customer support team so that we may attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

17.3        Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms of Use will be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the law of the country of your residence, and we both agree that the courts of your country of residence will have exclusive jurisdiction. Consumer disputes in the EU may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution Platform.   If Playdemic wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident.

18. General Terms


18.1        Force Majeure

18.2         No Waiver
No failure or delay by either Playdemic or you in exercising rights under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of those rights.

18.3  Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held unlawful, void, illegal or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from this Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
