    Nordeus Terms of Service - From 07 Jul 2017

    For those who want to check out the new Terms of Service of Nordeus I will save here the link and as I've read that some users have difficulties to read these I will copy/paste them:

    Nordeus Terms of Service

    Valid from 07 Jul 2017.

    A quick summary:

    1. These are the (legally binding) rules for Nordeus games and services, including Spellsouls: Duel of Legends and Top Eleven.
    2. You are given a personal licence to access, use and/or play them (but Nordeus owns them).
    3. There are rules regarding what you can and cannot do with the Nordeus Services (e.g. don’t cheat).
    4. Depending on where you live, there are important rules regarding liability and dispute resolution (including mandatory arbitration and waiver of jury trial if you live in the USA).
    5. Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we protect it.

    This User Agreement (or “Agreement” for short) explains what you can and cannot do with Spellsouls: Duel of Legends, Top Eleven and other Nordeus services (which we explain below). Because we know legal wording is not much fun, we have included a short and informal summary of each section (but the full version is the legally binding one).

    1. ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT

    This document explains who we are, what the Nordeus Services are and how you can use them. This Agreement is binding as soon as you download, install or use any of the Nordeus Services, including Spellsouls: Duel of Legends and/or Top Eleven. We can change this Agreement at any time, but if we do we will put the changed version online and normally it will take effect a reasonable time period afterwards. You should also read our Privacy Policy and other Nordeus Services may have other applicable documents (which we will notify to you)

    1.1. What is this Agreement? This Agreement is a legally binding contract between you and Nordeus Limited, (incorporated and registered in Ireland with company number 526421) of 3rd Floor, Kilmore House, Park Lane, Spencer Dock, Dublin 1, Ireland, as well as the Nordeus group of companies (“Nordeus”).

    1.2. What does this Agreement apply to? This Agreement applies to our video games including Spellsouls: Duel of Legends and Top Eleven, our websites (including but not limited to www.Nordeus.com), any game key or code giving you access to it or any parts of them, Nordeus Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency (defined below), plus all other Nordeus products and services, including (but not limited to) user accounts, customer and technical support, official forums, wikis, blogs and social media services (we will refer to “Nordeus Services” to cover all of these things).

    1.3. When does this Agreement apply to you? This Agreement will be binding on you and us once you download, install or use any of the Nordeus Services. If you do not agree to it, please do not use any of the Nordeus Services.

    1.4. Will we ever change this Agreement? We may change this Agreement from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our services or to reflect applicable laws. If we do, we will make the changed Agreement available online and make reasonable efforts to notify you of it. It will become legally binding on you and us 30 days after we post it online. During that period, you are welcome to contact us at support@nordeus.com if you have specific questions about the changes. If you do not agree to those changes (regardless of whether you email us), then unfortunately you must cease using the Nordeus Services: in order to make the Nordeus Services work properly we need to have everyone using them under the same rules instead of different people having different rules.

    1.5. Are there any other important documents you should read? Please also read our Nordeus Privacy Policy and other legal guidance, which all form part of this Agreement.

    2. USING THE NORDEUS SERVICES

    You have the personal right to use the Nordeus Services. If this involves a user account then you are responsible for it.

    Legally, you must be at least 13 years old to use the Nordeus Services and if you are under 18 you need parental / guardian approval to use the Nordeus Services.

    Some Nordeus Services may have minimum requirements and we might need to implement some anti-cheat tools / software. From time to time we may patch, update or change how the Nordeus Services work in order to keep them running efficiently and fun to play.

    2.1. We give you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-assignable licence to display, view, download, install, play and use the Nordeus Services on authorised devices/platforms. This licence is for your personal use only (so you cannot give, ‘sell’, lend, gift, assign, sub-license or otherwise transfer it to someone else) and does not give you any ownership rights in the Nordeus Services. We own or license all Nordeus Services.

    2.2. What about user accounts? In order to access the Nordeus Services you may need to create a user account or use an existing account (if you have one). You are responsible for protecting your user account and for your account activities. In particular, keep your account and password secure. In order to protect the Nordeus Services, users and Nordeus itself, we reserve the right if necessary to reject any user account if it would breach this Agreement or other applicable rules.

    2.3. Are there any age restrictions? Legally, you must be at least 13 years old to use the Nordeus Services. If you are between 13 and 18 (or whatever is the age of adulthood in your country), please ask your parent or guardian to review and approve this Agreement and to supervise your use of the Nordeus Services. Some Nordeus Services may have age ratings, which will be displayed when you purchase and/or download them.

    2.4. Are there any minimum requirements? Some Nordeus Services will have minimum requirements depending on your chosen device/platform, of which you will be notified at the time. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet these requirements before downloading or using the relevant Nordeus Service. To access online parts of the Nordeus Services you will need Internet access too – again, this is your responsibility.

    2.5. What about monitoring? In order to protect Nordeus, Nordeus users and to enforce this Agreement, Nordeus may deploy anti-cheat and/or other software tools that run in the background of your device or related devices/peripherals when you use the Nordeus Services.

    2.6. What about patches and updates? We may patch, update or change the Nordeus Services over time (for example to add or remove features, to resolve software bugs or to balance games), which will result in mandatory and/or automatic updates. Therefore, older, un-updated versions may become unusable over time as a result. It is possible that older devices/platforms may cease to be supported over time (although we will use reasonable efforts to notify this to you in advance). As part of these patches, updates or changes, we may need to impose limits on, or remove/restrict access to, certain game features. We need these rights in order to keep the Nordeus Services running efficiently and will not have any liability to you regarding use of them.

    2.7. What about third party access and content? You might get links from us to third party websites or content through the Nordeus Services. You may also access the Nordeus Services through different platforms and devices. Your use of them is your responsibility – we cannot promise they will work, what they will be like or if they are free. Some Nordeus Services may contain third party offers and materials, such as video offers and in-game advertisements. While we try to pick the best partners to work with, we are not responsible for their content (that is for the partner itself).

    3. NORDEUS SERVICES BETA ACCESS

    If you access any Nordeus Services (e.g. a game) in beta or other pre-full release version, you accept that they may not be complete and they may not work fully. You accept them ‘as is’. There may be server/progress resets/other changes during the process. We will not be responsible or liable for these matters (which are inherent to you being able to join in the beta process). Basically: you can get access to cool stuff early, but it might not work fully yet and that won’t be our fault!

    Some Nordeus Services may be released in alpha, closed beta, open beta or other pre-release versions before their full commercial release (or “beta” for short). This is usually to test the features, capabilities, and performance of the product. These are the additional beta rules:

    i. We will set the conditions and requirements for your beta access. Providing and maintaining a beta, and who can use a beta, is at our discretion.
    ii. We will likely ask you to register for the beta. There may be some waiting time depending on the number of people registering, the load on our servers and other technical aspects.
    iii. Betas will be time-limited and we will decide on when to end them and what happens next.
    iv. Between beta versions we may perform one or more complete server/progress reset(s). After the reset, your account will likely go back to a previous or new state. This may involve a wipe or other change to Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency (we will explain how this will work at the time). No cash refunds will be provided in connection with any reset or change.
    v. We may change, modify or remove features as part of testing and improving the product.
    vi. If appropriate, we may apply confidentiality restrictions to the beta, which will be notified to you at the time.
    vii. We may ask you to provide feedback on the beta – this is optional (but appreciated!).
    viii. Betas will be provided ‘as is’ without any promises from us or any liability on us if it is not complete or does not work fully or causes issues.
    ix. You must not attempt to ‘sell’ or transfer your access to a beta. It is for you, not anyone else.
    x. We may issue additional terms regarding Nordeus Service betas. We will notify you in advance if so.

    4. RULES FOR USING THE NORDEUS SERVICES

    This section sets out the rules for you to follow when using the Nordeus Services – e.g. no hacking, cheating, harmful conduct etc. Breaking these rules could result in suspension or cancellation (temporary or permanent) of your access to the Nordeus Services.

    In order to be able to use the Nordeus Services, we ask you to follow some rules not limited to the following.

    5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

    The Nordeus Services are the owned/licensed property of Nordeus.

    Who owns the Nordeus Services? The Nordeus Services, including (but not limited to) their visual components, characters, story, items, music, graphics, computer code, user interface, look and feel, game mechanics, gameplay, audio, video, text, layout, databases, data and all other content and all Intellectual Property Rights (defined below) and other legal and exploitation rights regarding them, are either owned by us or we license them from third parties. All rights in the Nordeus Services are reserved except as explained in this Agreement. No ownership right or interest or other rights in the Nordeus Services or any part of it is transferred to you. The Nordeus Services and their Intellectual Property Rights are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws worldwide.

    “Intellectual Property Rights” means any and all copyright, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, brand names, logos, goodwill, get up, trade, business or domain names, design rights, database rights, patents, rights in inventions, know-how, trade secrets and confidential information, rights in databases, rights in computer software, moral rights, publicity rights, performance rights, synchronisation rights, mechanical rights, publishing, rental, lending and transmission rights and other intellectual property and exploitation rights of a similar or corresponding character which may now or in the future subsist in any part of the world, in all cases whether or not registered or registrable including all granted applications and all applications for registration, division, continuation, reissuance, renewals, extensions, restorations and reversions regarding any of the same.

    6. USER GENERATED CONTENT AND COMMUNITY CONTENT

    If you share content in-game via the Nordeus Services (e.g. sending links), this is your responsibility.

    6.1. What is our position on ‘user generated content’? The Nordeus Services may give you the ability to share content (for example to share text, photos or links with users) – we will call this “User Generated Content”. If you do share User Generated Content, then it is at your responsibility and risk. We have the right (but not the obligation) to check and remove any inappropriate or illegal User Generated Content. But to be clear: we do not assume any responsibility or liability for User Generated Content. As far as we and you are concerned, you own any User Generated Content you created but we need you to give us certain rights over it so that we can actually transmit it via the Nordeus Services. So, when you make your User Generated Content available through the Nordeus Services you give us a non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable, royalty-free licence to use, modify, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, communicate and publicly display/perform your User Generated Content in connection with the Nordeus Services.

    7. VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL GOODS

    You may be able to buy and/or otherwise obtain things like cosmetics, in-game enhancements or virtual currencies and there are some additional legal rules for them. They do not have any “real world” monetary value and you cannot buy, sell or trade these with other users.

    7.1. Do the Nordeus Services offer virtual goods or virtual currencies? Certain Nordeus Services may let you purchase and/or otherwise obtain (for example, by completing offers or watching in-game advertisements) virtual, in-game digital items and content including for example cosmetic and in-game enhancements and other downloadable content (“Virtual Goods”). You may at our discretion be able to buy certain Virtual Goods with “real world” money and/or virtual currency (which you may be able to earn by playing the game and/or with “real world” money) (we will call this “Virtual Currency”). We are the sole provider and issuing authority regarding Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency and only Nordeus Services users can use them.

    7.2. Are there any additional payment requirements you should know about? If you buy Virtual Goods, you agree to the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to them, as notified to you at the time of purchase. You are responsible for ensuring that you have authorisation to use any chosen payment method, which includes obtaining account-holder/parent/guardian approval if applicable. You are responsible for ensuring that this authorisation is maintained at all material times. Do not make inappropriate charge-back or refund requests. You are responsible for applicable fees and taxes. All payments are non-refundable and non-transferable except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

    7.3. What are the legal requirements regarding Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency? Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency are digital items only with no cash-value or real world existence and cannot be ‘bought’, ‘sold’, gifted, transferred or redeemed, whether or not for other Virtual Goods, Virtual Currency, ‘real world’ money, goods, services or items of monetary value. Trading Virtual Goods or Currency is prohibited (unless we specifically permit otherwise in the applicable Nordeus Services). Your right to use any Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency that you obtain is limited to a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable licence to use such Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency solely for your personal entertainment and non-commercial use in the relevant Nordeus Service only. You have no property interest or right or title in any Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency, which remain Nordeus’ property. Nordeus reserves the right to reverse, change or amend Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency transactions or other matters if necessary to protect the Nordeus Services and/or to enforce this Agreement.

    7.4. Is there a limit on the amount of Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency you can hold? In order to protect the Nordeus Services, users and to stop fraud, we may impose limits on use of Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency (including transaction limits and balance amounts).

    7.5. Will these Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency expire or be revoked? Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency do not expire, but we reserve the right to change or amend that if necessary. We are not obliged to provide Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency to you. Nordeus reserves the right to revoke from users (without notice or compensation) any Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency that have been obtained by users by way of (for example) bug, hack or exploitation of the Nordeus Services or promotional offers.

    7.6. Will Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency ever change? The existence of a particular offer for Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency is not a commitment by us to maintain or continue to make the Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency or that offer available in the future. The scope, variety and type of Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency that you may obtain can change at any time and we have the right to manage, regulate, control, modify or remove Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods in our sole discretion if we consider any of this necessary for the ongoing operation of the Nordeus Services or for other legitimate reasons, in which case we will have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights. We will endeavour where possible to give you reasonable notice of any such changes and to explain the reasons why.

    7.7. Can you refund purchases of Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency?

    If you are resident in the European Union:
    Subject to the terms of any applicable device/platform via which you access the Nordeus Services: you have the right to withdraw from a purchase of the Nordeus Services, Virtual Goods and/or of Virtual Currency within 14 days of your purchase, without giving a reason. You hereby expressly acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the performance of our service has begun and your account is provided with access to the relevant Nordeus Services, Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency. You agree that the supply of Nordeus Services, Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency and the performance of services begins immediately after you complete your purchase. Therefore, once access to the Nordeus Services, Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency has been enabled on your account, the contract has been fully performed by us.

    If you are resident elsewhere in the world outside the European Union (including the USA):
    Subject to the terms of any applicable device/platform via which you access the Nordeus Services: all purchases are final and no refunds will be made or returns accepted.

    8. FEEDBACK OR SUGGESTIONS

    Feedback and suggestions are great (thank you!) but at our discretion without responsibility/liability.

    You are welcome to give us feedback and suggestions to improve the Nordeus Services – in such case you can contact us at support@nordeus.com. We appreciate your feedback and suggestions, but we may choose not to use or accept them at our discretion. In any event the feedback/suggestions will be received by us without any obligations or liability to you.

    9. WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY

    We provide warranties (i.e. legally binding promises) about the Nordeus Services, for example that we will take reasonable care regarding your use of the Nordeus Services. We also explain a bit further how we are legally responsible to each other. We ask for certain legal protections from you (legally, this does not apply to EU users).

    9.1. Our warranties. We represent and warrant that: (i) we have the right to enter into this Agreement and to grant you the licence to use the Nordeus Services in section 2; (ii) we will take reasonable care regarding the Nordeus Services and your use of it and (iii) we will use reasonable efforts to comply with applicable laws under this Agreement.

    9.2. Your warranties to us You represent and warrant that you have the full power and ability to enter into this Agreement and will follow fully its terms. You also represent and warrant that any User Generated Content, which you transmit via the Nordeus Services does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party. You further represent and warrant that you will not use or contribute User Generated Content that is unlawful, tortious, defamatory, obscene, invasive of the privacy of another person, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful or racist.

    9.3. Limitation of liability

    (II) OUR LIABILITY LIMITATION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NORDEUS, ITS AFFILIATES, PARTNERS AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR HARM OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE OR ‘LOSS’ RELATING TO THE NORDEUS SERVICES.

THIS INCLUDES IF YOU SUFFER DAMAGE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT USE THEM (EITHER TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY). NONE OF THE ABOVE WILL BE AFFECTED IN ANY WAY EVEN IF NORDEUS OR ITS AFFILIATES, PARTNERS OR LICENSORS ARE AT FAULT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR STRICT LIABILITY) AND EVEN IF YOU OR WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    (III) OUR LIABILITY CAP.

    (V) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. YOU AGREE THAT ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR HARM YOU SUFFER ARE NOT IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT, AND OTHER REMEDIES WILL BE ADEQUATE, SUCH THAT YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF AGAINST US.

California residents expressly agree to waive California Civil Code Sec. 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend the claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

    10. TERMINATION

    You can terminate this Agreement by stopping use of all Nordeus Services. We may cancel or suspend (temporarily or permanently) your access to any and/or all of the Nordeus Services if you seriously breach this Agreement.

    10.1. When and how can you terminate this Agreement? You can terminate this Agreement by permanently stopping use of all Nordeus Services at any time. Termination will not affect already existing rights or obligations of us or you.

In particular, it applies to the Nordeus Services rules we specify in section 4 above (for example, no cheating or account misuse). If we cancel or suspend your account in this way, we will use reasonable efforts to explain why we have done this and what (if anything) you can do as a result. Cancellation or suspension will include you losing access to Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency. If we cancel or suspend your account under this section, then we will not have any obligations or liabilities to you at all.

    If Nordeus decides itself to stop providing any Nordeus Services permanently, then we will try to give you at least sixty (60) days’ notice by posting an update on the applicable website. After that time period, we will not have any future obligations or liabilities to you (this does not affect any pre-existing obligations or liabilities.

    12.2. If you are resident in the USA:
    To the extent not covered by the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration language below, you and we agree that your use of the Nordeus Services, and this Agreement, and any issues arising out of them, will be deemed to be entered into in San Francisco, California and governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California, USA (and, if applicable, US Federal law) without regard to choice of law principles. Any legal claim by you against Nordeus, to the extent not covered by the Dispute Resolution and Arbitration language below, will be made exclusively in state or federal court located in San Francisco, California, which will have subject matter jurisdiction regarding the dispute between you and us and therefore we both consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. Moreover, you waive any rights to argue that the state and federal courts in San Francisco, California are an improper venue. In any legal claim under this Agreement, the side who wins will be entitled to its legal fees and expenses.

    13. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION

    If you have any concerns or issues you can contact us at support@nordeus.com. We hope we can resolve any complaints with you through informal dispute resolution.

    13.1. If you have concerns or issues with us, we hope we can resolve them quickly and amicably – you can contact us at support@nordeus.com. However, we recognise that occasionally there might be legal disputes which are not so easily resolved. In this section we explain what happens if there is a legal dispute.

    13.2. Informal dispute resolution:
    We and you both agree to make reasonable and good faith efforts to resolve any dispute between us informally. Normally we would suggest that this dispute resolution period lasts 30 days unless exceptional circumstances exist. If it is not resolved during this time, the next steps depend on where you live. If you are resident in the European Union, you may be entitled to submit a complaint through the Online Dispute Resolution Platform operated by the European Commission, details of which can be found at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

    If we can’t resolve a dispute with you informally, then this is what happens next.

    IMPORTANT: if you live in the USA, this section involves both you and us agreeing to mandatory arbitration of any dispute between us.

    13.3. Dispute resolution next steps: if you live in the European Union or elsewhere in the world (but not the USA):
    You and we have the legal right to commence legal claims against each other if we consider it necessary. If you bring a claim against Nordeus, you should address it to support@nordeus.com.

    13.4. Dispute resolution next steps: if you live in the USA:
    (a) Arbitration:
    We and you agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us in individual binding arbitration. This includes without limitation any claims arising from this Agreement, any part of the relationship between you and us or your use of the Nordeus Services or other Nordeus games, products and services. This section applies whether the dispute or claim is based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, unfair competition, misrepresentation or any other legal doctrine.

    (Some explanatory notes from us: “arbitration” is a consensual dispute resolution process where both sides present their case to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury). Arbitration is less formal than court litigation and it has less formal rules (which we talk about below). Just so we and you are clear: by choosing arbitration you and we are giving up the right to have any dispute between us heard in court before a judge and/or jury.) You and Nordeus agree that any claim arising out of or related to the Nordeus Services must be made within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise, such claim is permanently barred. You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account or the Nordeus Services.

    (b) How to start an arbitration:
    If either of us wants to commence arbitration, then they have to send the other side a written notice setting out the basis of the claim and what remedy the commencing side wants from the other side. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. If you send a notice to us, please send by mail and by email. You or Nordeus may bring an arbitration at any reasonable AAA location within the United States that is convenient for you.

    (c) The rules for the arbitration:
    The US Federal Arbitration Act applies to this section. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, as modified by this Agreement (http://www.adr.org). The arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement.

    The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of AAA arbitrators. The determination of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by an arbitrator rather than a court. The AAA will administer the arbitration and it will be conducted in the English language. It may be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or in person at a mutually agreed location. The arbitration hearing must commence within thirty (30) days from the appointment of the arbitrator, unless otherwise agreed to by you and Nordeus. The AAA will only have power to arbitrate the dispute between you and us and not in relation to other people under this particular arbitration. Judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

    If you seek US $10,000 or less, Nordeus agrees to reimburse your filing fee and your share of the arbitration costs (but not including any attorney’s fees or expert witness fees), including your share of arbitrator compensation, at the end of the arbitration, unless the arbitrator decides your claims are without merit or your costs are unreasonable. Nordeus agrees not to seek its legal fees or costs in the arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims are without merit or your costs are unreasonable. If you seek more than US $10,000 then the arbitration costs, including arbitrator compensation, will be split between you and Nordeus according to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, if applicable.

    (d) What the dispute resolution and arbitration sections do not apply to:
    The dispute resolution and arbitration requirements do not apply to claims or disputes brought by either you or us which relate to claims of intellectual property rights infringement or claims of unauthorised use, piracy, theft or misappropriation.

    This section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if the law allows, seek relief from us for you.

    If you live in the USA or the rest of the world (but not the EU), you and we agree not to bring any class action or similar collective legal action against each other. We will resolve legal disputes with each other through the process outlined above.

    13.5. Waiver of collective action remedies:
    To the maximum extent permitted by the national or state law applicable, you and we agree not under any circumstances to bring or participate in a class or representative action, private attorney general action or collective arbitration. That means, to the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

    If the agreement in this section not to bring or participate in a class or representative action, private attorney general action or collective arbitration is found illegal or unenforceable, you and Nordeus agree that it will not be severable: this entire section will be deemed unenforceable and any claim or dispute will therefore be resolved in court.

    14. OTHER LEGAL MATTERS

    This section sets out a few additional, hopefully self-explanatory rules about how this Agreement works legally. For example, this Agreement is just between you and us, we might be required to comply with law enforcement requests etc.

    i. If any part of this Agreement is found not to be legally enforceable, this will not affect any other part of it;
    ii. This Agreement governs our relationship with you (and vice versa). It does not create any rights for anyone else;
    iii. Please remember that we are subject to various laws and we may be required to comply with law enforcement or other legal requirements, including import/export controls;
    iv. You and we agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the Nordeus Services or this Agreement;
    v. We can assign, subcontract or transfer this Agreement to a third party or another member of our group if necessary for the support of the Nordeus Services, as part of any reorganisation or merger or for other business reasons. We will notify you if this happens;
    vi. No failure or delay by us or you to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by law will constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor will it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy by us or you will preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy; and
    vii. This Agreement does not create any exclusive relationship between us nor any partnership, joint venture, employment or agency.

    Nordeus Terms of Service

    Valid until 06 Jul 2017.

    Please read these Terms carefully because this is an important document. A lot of time and effort goes into providing the Services (as defined below). To enable Us to continue to make the Services available, We need to have some rules about what you can and cannot do when using the Services.

    You should consider printing these terms of service and storing them along with all confirmation emails, additional terms, transaction data, game rules and payment methods relevant to your use of the Services.
    These terms are subject to change – see below in section 25.

You shall be able to access the Services using Your Account (as defined below).

    2. GOVERNING AGREEMENT

    2.1. These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Policy and any other additional rules and terms published by us or otherwise notified to You that specifically relate to and govern the Services, constitute a legally binding agreement between You and Us (the “Agreements”). You should read all of the Agreements carefully as each one forms part of the legally binding agreement between You and Us.

    2.2. Where you access the Services through a Platform, You will also be bound by the terms and conditions of that Platform.

    2.3. If the Agreements are translated into another language, the English language version will prevail in the event of any conflict between the translation and the English language version.

    2.4. Please note that these Terms of Service shall prevail in the event of any conflict between these Terms of Service and any of the game rules or other documents referred to in these Terms of Service.

    2.5. By clicking on “Submit”, “I Agree”, “Play” or “Install” (or their equivalents in whatever language you are accessing the Services in) and accepting these Terms of Service, or by using the Services, You are also acknowledging and accepting these Agreements. Access to, and use of, the Services is governed by these Agreements. If You have any questions about these Agreements, We would encourage You to seek independent legal advice.

    3. APPLICABILITY OF TERMS OF SERVICE

    3.1. By using the Services, and/or by acknowledging that You have read the Terms of Service when You register to join and/or by clicking on the “Submit” “download”, “Play”, “Install” or “I Agree” button when You install any of the software relating to the Services provided via a Platform, on a mobile device, or when You register for Your Account, You are agreeing to comply with these Terms of Service and You acknowledge that Your failure to comply with the Terms of Service may result in disqualification, the closure of Your Account (as defined in Section 7 below), forfeiture of any virtual funds and/or legal action against You, as appropriate and as further specified in these Terms of Service.

    3.2. You acknowledge that if You accept these Terms of Service, We will start providing You with the benefit of the Services immediately. As a consequence, if You accept the Terms of Service when registering for the Service, You will not later be able to cancel Your registration, although You can terminate Your acceptance of the Terms of Service and close Your Account in accordance with Section 7 below.

    4. VIRTUAL GOODS

    4.1. When using the Service You may choose to purchase with “real world” money, a licence to use (a) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in the Service; or (b) virtual in-game items (together with virtual currency, the “Virtual Items”). Virtual Items may be made available to through a third-party Platform (such as Facebook).

    4.2. Virtual Items have no real world monetary value and do not constitute real world currency or property of any type.

    4.3. Any purchases You make in order to acquire a licence to use Virtual Items are non-refundable. You can purchase licences for Virtual Items by visiting the Buy Tokens or Buy page on a Platform or in-game, confirming Your credit/debit card or other payment details and confirming the particulars of Your purchase. You may also be granted a licence for Virtual Items by, for example, watching videos served by third party providers, completing surveys, register on third-party websites, downloading another game. Virtual Items which are licenced to you in this way are treated the same as Virtual Items which you purchase a licence for.

    4.4. For Virtual Items, Your order will represent an offer to Us to purchase a licence for use of Virtual Items within the Service which will be accepted by Us when We make the Virtual Items available to You either (i) when You have achieved a specified goal within the Service, or (ii) You opt to purchase Virtual Items with “real world” money and You provide Us with Your credit/debit card or other payment details. Your licence to use Virtual Items within the Service shall commence upon acceptance by Us of Your purchase of Virtual Items. By ordering a licence to use Virtual Items, You agree and accept that We will provide it to You promptly following completion of Your purchase.

    4.5. You understand that while at times You may “earn”, “buy” or “purchase” Virtual Items, these terms are only being used as shorthand. You do not in fact “own” the Virtual Items and the “value” of the Virtual Items does not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, You may purchase a limited licence to use the Virtual Items, including software programs that occasionally manifest themselves as these items. The purchase and sale of the limited licence referred to in these Terms of Service is a completed transaction upon receipt of Your direct payment, subject to any relevant policies and terms of service.

    4.6. Virtual Items are non-refundable and non-exchangeable once ordered by You (whether or not you use them). For the purposes of Regulation 13 of European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013, contracts for Virtual Items are contracts for digital content not supplied on a tangible medium. You expressly consent to the immediate performance of the contract for digital content once we accept Your order and You hereby acknowledge that You have no right to cancel such a contract.

    4.7. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by You or anyone using an account registered to You. It lies in Our sole discretion to revise the pricing for the Virtual Items and/or other goods or services We license to You through the Service at any time. You acknowledge by accepting these Terms of Service that We are not required to provide a refund for any reason, and that You will not receive money or other compensation for unused Virtual Items when Your licence to access and use the Service is revoked or Your Account is closed, whether this was voluntary or involuntary.

    4.8. Transfers of Virtual Items are strictly prohibited, except where explicitly authorised within the Services or by Nordeus. Outside of the Services, You may not buy or sell any Virtual Items for “real money” or otherwise exchange items for value. Any attempt to do so is in violation of these Terms of Service and may, at Our sole discretion, result in a lifetime ban from the Services and in a possible legal action. Virtual Items may never be redeemed for “real money”, goods or other items of monetary value from Us or any other party. You may not purchase Virtual Items from any party other than Us. We may limit or block your attempt to purchase Virtual Items at any time in our complete discretion.

    4.9. We do not make any promises or warrants regarding how or when Virtual Items may be available and We may update or change Virtual Items at any time.

    4.10. All Virtual Items are forfeited if Your licence is revoked or suspended or Your Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in Our discretion, or if We discontinue providing the Services.

    4.11. Notwithstanding the above, Virtual Items expire two years from the date on which they are purchased or, on the date on which We stop providing the Service or on which you or We cancel your use of the Services, whichever is earlier.

    5. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES

    5.1. We reserve the right to suspend, modify, remove and/or add to any of the Services in Our sole discretion with immediate effect and without notice and We will not be liable for any such action. We further reserve the right to suspend Your use of the Service from time to time.

    5.2. You acknowledge that Your failure to comply with the Terms of Service and/or Privacy Policy may result in You being excluded from accessing the Service. In addition, legal action may be brought against You for breach of these Terms of Service where appropriate and as further specified in these Terms of Service.

    5.3. We forbid the use of all unfair practices when using the Services. We do this to protect Our users and the integrity of the Services. If any user is found to be participating in any form of collusion or other activities that We consider to constitute cheating his or her Account may be permanently closed.

    5.4. We forbid the posting of any prohibited Third Party Content (see Section 10 below).

    5.5. Subject to these Terms of Service, We grant You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable limited licence, to access and use the Service. Any use of the Service in violation of these Terms of Service is strictly prohibited and may result in the immediate revocation of Your limited licence granted hereunder, and may subject You to liability for violations of law. Any attempt by You to disrupt or interfere with the Service, including undermining or manipulating the legitimate operation of the Service, is a violation of these Terms of Service and may be a violation of criminal and civil laws.

    5.6. In Your use of the Services or your activities on the Services, You agree not to:

    reveal any personal information about another individual, including another person’s address, phone number, email address, credit card number or any information that may be used to track, contact or impersonate that individual without their consent;

    copy or adapt the Service’s software including but not limited to Flash, PHP, HTML, JavaScript or other code;
    reverse engineer, decompile, reverse assemble, modify or attempt to discover any software (source code or object code) that the Service creates to generate web pages or any software or other products or processes accessible through the Service;

    attempt to hack, distribute, modify, transmit, harm, cheat or misuse the Services;
    upload or transmit (or attempt to upload or to transmit) any material that acts as a passive or active information collection or transmission mechanism, including, without limitation, clear graphics interchange formats (“gifs”), 1×1 pixels, web bugs, cookies or other similar devices (sometimes referred to as “spyware”, “passive collection mechanisms” or “pcms”);
    except as may be the result of standard search engine or internet browser usage, use or launch, develop or distribute any automated system, including, without limitation, any spider, robot (or “bot”), cheat utility, scraper or offline reader that accesses the Service, or use or launch any unauthorised script or other software;

    6. LEGALITY OF USE OF THE SERVICES

    I suppose to give your account (with 6* players) to someone and take it back with 8* players - if paying some money.
    I haven't seen that happening in any social/fb group so far.
