3. LEGAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These «Terms and Conditions» and/or the «Agreement» constitute a legal agreement between you and SecondWorld, OÜ (the «Company» and/or «SecondWorld«), which regulates the access and use by users (the «User«) to the game Ball Guys: Furry Road (the «Game«) as well as the use of the Game indirectly from third party platforms such as Google Play, AppStore or others (the «App Stores«).
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully, as the fact of accessing and/or using the Game implies knowledge and full acceptance of the legal warnings and conditions, without reservation, detailed below.
The access and use of the services and/or contents offered to the User in the Game are subject to these Terms and Conditions that the User, before accessing or using these services and contents, must read carefully.
The use of such services and contents will express in any case the full and unconditional acceptance of the Terms and Conditions in the version published by the Company at the moment of accessing the Services.
Currently, the use of the services and/or contents offered to the User in the Game are in the Alpha development phase, i.e. they are services that may be incomplete in terms of limitation of services, but not in terms of their operation. The services offered may be drastically modified, and, therefore, the content of these Terms and Conditions may also be modified. If these Terms and Conditions are updated, and the User continues to enjoy any services and/or content offered through SecondWorld’s platforms, the User accepts these new Terms and Conditions.
The duration of the Agreement between the User and the Company is stipulated for an indefinite period, although the User and the Company (the «Parties») are competent to terminate the contractual relationship at any time either by ordinary termination or for breach by the User of any of the rules of these Terms and Conditions.
4. CONTENT OF THE GAME
The object of the Game consists of multiplayer races of animated balls.
Therefore, in the Game the Company organizes participation in tournaments and/or non- professional competitions, in which only competitions of skill games are organized; therefore, the skill, ability and skill of the Users are the factors that determine the winners.
Consequently, the Game does not include any elements of chance and/or randomness, which is why they are outside the sectorial regulation of Games of Chance.
5. USER ESTATUS
The access to the Game, as well as any access to any of the contents available in it, attributes the condition of User of the Game and implies the acceptance without reservations of all the conditions included in these Terms and Conditions at the moment in which such access or use occurs (or both simultaneously).
Any person who transmits information, registers, or participates in or through the Game will also be considered a User, which also implies full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
The use of this Game is reserved for those over 14 years of age (the «Minimum Age«), therefore, by accepting these Terms and Conditions, the User declares to be at least 14 years of age and agrees not to use the services related to the Game if he/she is not at least 14 years of age. If the User is between 14 and 17 years of age, or is not authorized to enter into agreements such as these Terms and Conditions, he/she declares that his/her legal guardian or one of his/her parents has reviewed and accepted these Terms and Conditions.
In all cases where the User is a minor, it will be required to attach authorization from their legal guardians by which they authorize the minor to use the services of the Game, under the same Terms and Conditions stated above. The fact of accessing and/or using the Game and the services and/or completing the registration process, means that both the minor and his/her legal guardians have read, understood, and accept, without reservation, these conditions.
Said authorization of the legal guardians of the minor must be attached and sent together with the Identity/Passport Documents of the subjects and document of accreditation of the relationship of legal guardian with the minor and/or kinship, to the following e-mail address: hello@secondworld.io
6. PLAYER REGISTRATION
The User, in order to enjoy certain contents of the Game and/or participate in the non- professional competitions, must register as a «Player» through the Game button configured for this purpose.
Through this button you can access the registration form, which allows you to create an account in the Game, by expressly authorizing the User to collect the following data:
- User’s Name.
- User’s Age.
- Country and region of residence.
- Identifier, alias or nickname.
- E-mail address and password.
Such data will be incorporated into a file kept by SecondWorld and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, prepared in a separate document.
All information provided by the User through the Game forms must be truthful. For this purpose, the User guarantees the authenticity of all data provided and undertakes to keep the information provided to SecondWorld perfectly updated, so that it corresponds, always, to the real situation of the specific User. In any case, the User will be solely responsible for any false or inaccurate statements that may be made through the Game, as well as for any damages that may be caused to SecondWorld or third parties for the information provided through the Game.
The Company reserves the right to require the User to change his/her player’s name (identifier, alias or nickname) at any time.
The password must be generated by the User in accordance with the rules of robustness and complexity established from time to time by SecondWorld, of which the User will be informed, by default, when the password provided by the User does not meet the standards. Thus, if the User selects a password that does not meet the minimum requirements of the approved password policy, the User will be notified of such non-compliance and will receive instructions on the conditions that such password must meet in order to be valid.
The password created by the User shall be valid for an unlimited period, although SecondWorld recommends changing it periodically through the mechanisms established for this purpose in the User’s profile.
The registered User expressly declares to know that the User account is personal and non- transferable and assumes any liability arising from making it available to third parties other than the User. By way of example and without limitation, the User will be responsible for any damages
that may arise from the use of the Game by any third party that uses a password or User identifier because of a non-diligent use, unauthorized transmission, or loss of these by the User.
The User undertakes to make diligent use of his/her password, to keep it secret, and not to transmit it or share it with any other person or entity. Consequently, the User expressly declares to know that he/she is solely responsible for the proper custody and confidentiality of any identifiers (player names, aliases, or nicknames) and/or passwords that he/she has selected as a registered User of the Game.
By virtue of the foregoing, the User must immediately notify SecondWorld of any event or act that allows the improper use of the identifiers and/or passwords, such as, for example, theft, loss, or unauthorized access to them, so that SecondWorld can proceed to their immediate cancellation. If such circumstances are not communicated by the User, SecondWorld will not be in a position to have effective knowledge of them and, therefore, in no case will it be possible to be held responsible for any misuse of the identifiers and/or passwords by unauthorized third parties.
7. PLAYABILITY
Access to the contents of the Game is free and/or «Free to Play» as a general rule.
However, there may be sections and/or specific services that require for their use and enjoyment the payment of an economic amount, as well as the purchase of virtual objects as internal currencies of the Game and/or «Pay to Play«.
In these cases the User will receive prior to its use or enjoyment all the information regarding costs and means of payment, and its express acceptance of the terms of contract will be requested prior to any charge, as well as its use or enjoyment by the User.
In any case, the services offered can only be acquired through the official store in the Game and cannot be exchanged between Users, sold, or converted to real money, neither within nor through third party applications or devices.
Some Game Services accessible to Users or exclusive to Players may be subject to special conditions, regulations and instructions which, if applicable, replace, supplement and/or modify these Terms and Conditions, and which must be accepted by the User prior to the start of the corresponding service. Such Services include the possibility of participating in competitions or games with various rewards within the Game, the terms, and conditions of which shall be those specifically regulated in each case.
8. IN-GAME PURCHASES
In-Game Purchases are available for purchase. The Company may license to you certain virtual goods or other content (e.g., in-game items or in-game currency) that may be used in the Services and that you may purchase with real fiat money or earn or redeem through the Game (the
«Virtual Items«). The Virtual Objects are licensed to you under a limited, personal, non- transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license for non-commercial use only.
Unless expressly authorized in the Services, you may only purchase Virtual Objects from SecondWorld or its authorized partner, and the transfer or sale of Virtual Objects is prohibited.
Virtual Objects have no equivalent value in real world money and are not a substitute for real world money. Neither SecondWorld nor any other person or entity has any obligation to exchange Virtual Items for anything of value. SecondWorld shall not be liable for any piracy of or loss of your Virtual Items.
Some of the Virtual Objects such as currencies in the Game have an equivalent value in real world money and substitute for ordinary fiat money within the real world. SecondWorld is therefore obliged, at the User’s request, to exchange virtual items for items of real value. SecondWorld shall not be liable for any piracy actions in connection with its Virtual Objects or the loss thereof.
The price and availability of Virtual Items are subject to change upon thirty (30) days’ notice.
All purchases and redemptions of Virtual Items made through the Services are final and non- refundable. You acknowledge and agree that the Virtual Items are delivered to you immediately upon purchase and that you forfeit any right to cancel or withdraw from the purchase once the purchase is initiated. Accordingly, you agree that SecondWorld is not obligated to refund the Virtual Items to you for any reason. You further agree that you will not receive any money or other compensation for any Virtual Objects that you do not use, regardless of whether the loss of your license under these Terms was voluntary or involuntary. The foregoing provision does not affect your rights under applicable law, including any rights you may have under the statutory warranty of conformity described in the «Disclaimer» section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User may exchange with SecondWorld the currencies in the User’s possession for their equivalent in fiat money, provided that the User complies with the legal requirements of these Terms and Conditions.
If the User requests the deletion of his or her personal data as described in SecondWorld’s Privacy Notice, you will permanently lose all your Virtual Objects without the right to a refund, as SecondWorld will no longer be able to associate such Virtual Objects with you.
