Unless otherwise expressly allowed by us, you must not use or exploit any of it, alone or combined, without our prior, written, and direct permission.
5.2. You acknowledge and agree that the Services and all rights therein are licensed to you, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in and to the Services and should not be construed as a sale, rent, or lease.
6.1. General. We may provide you the ability to earn or purchase certain digital content and digital services (or “Additional Content” as defined below) which can be used within the Services. If you choose to purchase the Additional Content for a fee (e.g., when you select certain items with the indication of price nearby), you make a binding offer to Hexagames to conclude a contract for the supply of the Additional Content. If we accept your offer, we will credit the ordered amount of Additional Content to you, and we will charge you via selected payment method.
6.2. Game Currency. We may provide you the ability to (i) earn a limited license to use in-game currency by performing certain tasks when using the Services, and/or (ii) purchase a limited license to use the in-game currency for a fee (collectively, the “Game Currency”). Game Currency is depleted as it is consumed (used) and can be earned or purchased again.
6.3. Virtual Items. We may provide you the ability to (i) earn a limited license to use certain in-game digital content by performing certain tasks when using the Services, and/or (ii) earn a limited license to use the in-game items with the Game Currency, and/or (iii) purchase a limited license to use the in-game items for a fee (collectively, the “Virtual Items”). Virtual Items are earned or purchased once and, as a rule, cannot be consumed. However, certain Virtual Items may be seasonal, thus, after a certain period such seasonal Virtual Items may be revoked by us.
6.4. Premium Upgrades. We may offer you the ability to purchase time-limited premium upgrades that provide additional digital content or digital services and intended to tailor your user experience (“Premium Upgrades”). Premium Upgrades may be purchased only for a fee on a recurring basis until you decide to cancel. You may cancel your Premium Upgrade any time. If you cancel your Premium Upgrade, you will be able to continue to use it until the end of the current paid Premium Upgrade period. After the current period ends, you will not be able to access certain digital content or digital services of your Premium Upgrade plan. You can always manage your Premium Upgrades settings, including the automatic renewal rule, by adjusting your account, device, or the applicable platform’s settings.
6.5. You agree that it is in our sole and absolute discretion to determine the Game Currency, Virtual Items, or Premium Upgrades (collectively, the “Additional Content”) purchasing price, offers, or sales.
6.6. You acknowledge and agree that you do not own the Additional Content and that you only acquire a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use such Additional Content for your individual, non-commercial, and entertainment purposes within the Service that offered you the ability to earn or purchase such Additional Content. The license to use the Additional Content will terminate upon termination of this agreement.
6.7. Additional Content is Service specific and cannot be used outside of the Services. It has no real value and cannot be exchanged, consumed, or redeemed for non-game (“real”) currency, products, goods, services, or property in any form, neither by us nor by third parties.
6.8. You cannot sell, rent, lease, lend, distribute, redistribute, trade, exchange, gift, or otherwise transfer or provide access to the Additional Content except as expressly permitted by the functionality provided within the Services.
6.9. Without prejudice to other terms of this user agreement, we retain the right to, inter alia, delete, withhold, alter, remove, change, amend, replace, re-price, modify, delist, cancel, or impose certain thresholds on the amount of the Additional Content that may be earned, purchased, redeemed, held, stored, consumed, or used, in whole or in part, at our sole and exclusive discretion with or without further notice to you. Neither Hexagames nor any other person or entity shall bear liability of any kind whatsoever based upon the above.
6.10. You agree that any Additional Content (whether earned by performing certain tasks within the Services, or with Game Currency, or purchased for a fee) as well as any other digital content, services, or user progress may be irrevocably lost unless made under a user account. For clarity, if prior to playing a game, or making a purchase, you are not logged into your user account, any such purchases or user progress may be irrevocably lost. You hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that (i) any digital content or digital service earned or purchased without logging into your user account may be irrevocably lost, (ii) any such digital content or digital services may not be restored, (iii) neither Hexagames nor any other person or entity shall bear liability of any kind whatsoever based upon such, and (iv) your sole remedy resulting from such is to stop using the Services.
7.1. We do not handle and are not responsible for handling payment transactions. All payments, transactions, and monetary operations are made by third-party payment service providers or payment processors. By making any purchases, you agree to be bound by their terms and conditions.
7.2. Unless otherwise provided for in a respective Premium Upgrade plan, you will be charged automatically at the fee recurring interval applicable to the Premium Upgrade until it is cancelled or terminated. Recurring payments will be charged from the payment method according to your initial Premium Upgrade purchase.
7.3. When making purchases, you must provide true, accurate, complete, and up-to-date information about yourself and provide non-fraudulent means of payment. If our payment service provider, payment processor, or any platform brings to our attention that the information you provided, personal and/or financial, is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we are therefore entitled to annul related financial transactions and revoke all associated licenses acquired via such transactions.
7.4. You agree that we will start the performance of the purchasing contract for the Additional Content (or for any other digital content or digital service we offer to purchase) immediately after acceptance of your request. Our duty to deliver is considered duly performed after the digital content (or any means suitable for accessing or downloading the digital content) is made available or accessible, or the digital service is made accessible, to you.
7.5. You agree that in case the Service or the Additional Content have not been delivered to you immediately after you request, we therefore shall be entitled to a cure period of three (3) business days to deliver. We assume no liability based on the above except for the cases where the Service or the Additional Content have not been delivered after the cure period has expired, or otherwise required by applicable law.
8.1. All purchases are final and non-refundable unless otherwise provided in this agreement, or as expressly provided by external platforms’ terms and conditions, or as required by applicable law.
8.2. When you make purchases on external platforms (e.g., App Store, Google Play), any such purchases made from the external platforms are subject to their terms and conditions, and you shall address you refund inquiry directly to the external platforms. Hexagames does not assume liability of any nature whatsoever in connection with the charging or billing on the external platforms, or in connection with any other actions of the external platforms.
8.3. Refunds are exclusive of the tax previously charged for purchases. In case of refund, the respective payment processor’s standard terms and conditions will apply. If your refund or cancellation of payment request is accepted, the corresponding amount of Additional Content will be deducted from your user account.
8.4. You acknowledge and agree that should you violate any of these terms or the external platforms’ terms and conditions, like providing your account or payment details to anyone else, or providing untrue or inaccurate payment details, or have been suspected or found in fraudulent behaviour, or refund abuse, your refund request may therefore be declined.
9.1. While using the Services, you must comply with the terms of this agreement and any applicable laws, rules, and regulations in the jurisdiction in which you reside.
9.2. We reserve the right to take appropriate measures to protect us, our users, subsidiaries, parental companies, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, our software, services, and other subject matter, the reputation and goodwill thereof, at our sole discretion, against inappropriate behavior, regardless of whether such behavior is listed herein.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (contact details are provided below) of your decision to withdraw from the purchase by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent by post or email).

To Hexagames LTD:
I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my purchase for the provision of the following service [specify the service], ordered on [specify details], received on [specify details], your full name and address, your signature (only if this form is notified on paper), and date.
19.2.3. If you withdraw from the purchase, we shall reimburse you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from the purchase.

19.2.4. By making any purchase, you provide us with your prior express request and consent to begin the performance of a purchasing contract during the statutory right of withdrawal period (namely, within 14 days, both for digital content and digital services). We will deliver, or begin the performance of, Additional Content immediately after we or any platform accept your request and in any case before the expiration of the withdrawal period. You hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that, once the purchasing contract has been fully performed by us, you will no longer have the right of withdrawal, to change your mind, cancel the purchase and get a refund.
19.2.5. Notwithstanding the above, you can cancel your subscription and request a refund within 14 days from the transaction date. You can cancel your subscription even after you started using it.

The dispute resolution procedure will apply to any Disputes between you and Hexagames, whether those arose before or after we entered into this agreement, or even when this agreement is terminated for any reason or no reason. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Hexagames arising out of or relating to this agreement, Privacy Policy, the Services, your use or attempted use of the Services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, whether based on contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort, fraud, negligence, unfair competition, injury, misrepresentation, rights of privacy, or any other legal or equitable theory.
19.5.2. Informal Resolution. You and Hexagames agree to make a good faith effort to resolve any Dispute informally at least thirty (30) days prior to starting an arbitration process as described below. This informal dispute resolution process starts as soon as we receive your written dispute notice through info@hexacore.io (“Notice”). The Notice must identify the complaining party and include at least the full name and contact details, describe the nature and basis of the Dispute, the title of the specific Service subject to the Dispute, and set forth the specific relief sought. Any Notice lacking any of the requirements set out above will be deemed void.
19.5.3. Arbitration Agreement. If you or Hexagames cannot resolve a Dispute informally as set out above, you and Hexagames agree to resolve any Dispute exclusively through binding individual arbitration (not in a trial before judge or jury) pursuant to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. Any decision made by a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will be final. If you or Hexagames brings a Dispute that can be resolved by arbitration pursuant to the terms of this agreement in court, then either party may ask the court to order the parties to resolve the Dispute by arbitration. We both agree that the neural arbitrator will have the exclusive authority to decide if any provision of this section 19.5 is valid or enforceable, or whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration. For clarity, threshold questions of enforcement are to be delegated to the arbitrator. The provisions of this section 19.5 shall survive termination of this agreement of any reason.
19.5.4. Arbitration Procedure. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) available at www.adr.org. You and Hexagames agree that the arbitration will be conducted in English. You and Hexagames agree on the electronic submission of documents and allow participation by phone or by teleconference, or in person, at a mutually agreed location. Each side will pay their own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claims allow for the prevailing party to recover attorneys’ fees and costs. If you or Hexagames unsuccessfully challenges the validity of the arbitrator’s decision or award through a court case, the unsuccessful party shall pay the opposing party’s costs and attorneys’ fees associated with the challenge.
19.5.5. Exceptions. You and Hexagames agree that the informal resolution and arbitration agreement of this section 19.5 will not apply to the following Disputes: (a) individual actions in small claims courts; (b) Disputes or other claims regarding Hexagames’s intellectual property, including but not limited to Disputes concerning protection or enforcement of Hexagames’s trademarks, trade dress, trade secret, patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights; (c) Disputes or other claims related to piracy or interference with the integrity of the Services.
19.5.6. Class-Action Waiver. You and Hexagames agree that any Dispute or other claim is personal to you and Hexagames, and that we may bring Disputes or other claims against each other only in individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You expressly waive any right to file or participate in a class action on a class or representative basis. Furthermore, unless both you and Hexagames agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this section 19.5.6 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of section 19.5 shall be null and void.
19.5.7. Your Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out of the arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver provisions set out above and not be bound by them by sending us a written notice to opt-out to info@hexacore.io. The notice must include (a) your full name and contact details; (b) your explicit statement that you would like to opt out of the arbitration agreement, or the class-action waiver agreement, or both; (c) the title of the specific Service to which your opt-out notice should apply; (d) your e-mail address. You must send us this notice within thirty (30) calendar days after you first accepted the terms of this agreement, or started using the Services, or the Services have been made available to you, whichever is earlier. If you do not send us the notice within that time, or if the notice does not contain all the requirements set out above, you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes according to the terms set out in this section 19.5. If you opt out, you and Hexagames will not be bound by the arbitration provisions of this section 19.5.
