In order to take part in other game modes on Our Products, various additional in-game contests, tournaments, as well as receive some additional functionalities, Users may have to register an account and / or to use virtual in-game currency. The virtual in-game currency do not have its own value in any other currency. It do not constitute a means of payment under the applicable law, but only virtual equivalent that pays for the use of some of the services in the games on some of our Products by each User. The virtual in-game currency associated with each User’s account do not bear interest, regardless of the period within which they have not been used by the User.
- Depending on the Product and functionalities it provides, it may use virtual in-game currency. Such virtual in-game currency may be purchased through the provided payment systems. The variety of payment methods depends on the selected country and platform.
- Exact details of payments are posted on Our Products and may be amended from time to time unilaterally by the Administrator. Any such amendment enters into force and becomes binding for the Users with immediate effect.
- The Administrator shall not be liable if due to incorrect money transfer data entry, any payment made by a User is not validated to the accounts of the Administrator and consequently the User account of this person is not credited with the appropriate amount of virtual in-game currency. Due to the fact that payments are made through third-party payment systems, which are outside the control of the Administrator, it is possible that there is a period of time from the moment of payment by the User until the receipt of the corresponding amount by the Administrator respectively the subsequent credit of the User account with the respective amount of virtual in-game currency, the duration of which can not be foreseen. In connection with this, the Administrator cannot be held liable for any delays within the meaning of the preceding sentence, although in the period between the time of payment and the moment of crediting the account of the User with the appropriate amount of virtual in-game currency, the User will not be able to use that amount of virtual in-game currency.

If a User is being sanctioned due to a game and/or behavior, and/or practices inconsistent with these Terms of Service, the Administrator is not obliged to transfer virtual in-game currency from the sanctioned User’s account to a new account, or to somehow compensate the owner of the account and/or virtual in-game currency associated with that account.
- Virtual in-game currency won by a User cannot be cashed and/or redeemed in any form by the Administrator and/or sold to other Users and third parties. Any such agreement between Users and/or third parties shall be deemed null and void will not be binding to the Administrator.
