When registering an Account, the User may fill in the registration form with data they consider sufficient to identify themselves in the Game as a unique user, except for the mandatory fields of the registration form, which are mandatory for the User when using the Game.

Users are informed of and agree that the information provided when opening their Account is presumed to establish their identity. Users warrant that all information provided is accurate and up to date.

The User may not share the Account or their login and password, nor allow anyone to access their Account or perform any other actions that may threaten the security of the Account. Users must keep their login and password secret. **3.4.** If the User learns of or reasonably suspects any breach of security, including, among others, any loss, theft or unauthorised disclosure of the login and password, the User must immediately notify the Company and change their login and password in the Game, if the Game has the corresponding functionality.

In-game items and in-game currency **4.1.** The User acknowledges that the Company may provide the User with the opportunity to purchase additional In-game items and/or In-game currency within certain Games. **4.2.** In-game currency is not a means of payment and serves the sole purpose of being a means of exchange for In-game items. In-game currency cannot be exchanged for money or other valuables, except for In-game items in the course of ordinary gameplay. Any unused In-game currency cannot be converted back into money under any circumstances. **4.3.** The User may be given the opportunity to purchase, for money, a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use In-game items and/or In-game currency exclusively from the Company and/or its authorised partners, using one of the approved payment methods provided for each relevant Game. **4.4.** The Company will credit the In-game currency to the User's Account after receiving payment. The crediting of In-game items and/or in-game currency to the User's Account must be carried out as soon as possible.

The Company has the right to remove from the User's Account In-game items and/or In-game currency displayed in the User's Account, if the aforementioned diagnostics reveal that the In-game items and/or In-game currency were displayed in the User's Account by mistake, including as a result of a defect or error in the Game or on the Company's Website, or as a consequence of the fraudulent actions of any Users or third parties. ## 5. Right of withdrawal **5.1.** All fees payable for Games, In-game items and/or In-game currency are non-refundable, except in cases expressly stipulated in accordance with applicable law. All in-game sales are final. Games, In-game items and/or In-game currency are not subject to return or exchange, unless otherwise provided by this Licence Agreement. By purchasing Games, In-game items and/or In-game currency, and by exchanging In-game currency for In-game items, the User understands and agrees that (i) the User's access to the Game may be terminated in accordance with this Licence Agreement and/or (ii) the Game may be terminated at any time for any reason, and that such events do not entitle the User to receive a refund of any amounts paid for any used or unused Games, In-game items and/or In-game currency. In addition, expenses and purchases are non-refundable if the User is dissatisfied with the Game. **5.2.** The transfer of In-game items and/or In-game currency is prohibited, except where expressly permitted in the Game. Except as expressly permitted in the Game, the User has no right to sublicense, sell, buy back or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer In-game items and/or In-game currency to any natural or legal person. Any such transfer or attempt to transfer is prohibited and void, and may lead to the termination of the User's right to access their Account and/or the Game. Where the functionality of other services of the Company and/or its affiliates provides such an opportunity, Users may be permitted to exchange In-game items with each other, including for In-game currency, and/or to exchange In-game currency for money or other valuables. ## 6.
