PREAMBLE
To

media gaming apps, fan pages, competitions, promotions, forums, websites, viral
features and related technologies, as well as other services (collectively
referred to as “Services”), we must adhere to certain legal guidelines and
rules. This ensures that we respect everyone's rights and protect you and our
users' personal privacy.
Please

apply to your use of the Services provided by Storapy Media, a company that is
organized according to the Germany laws and has a business address in Kolonnenstr. 8a,
10827 Berlin, Germany, (Storapy Media, referred to as “Storapy”,

offers Services accessible on wireless or mobile devices, or any other

or hyperlinks within the Services, unless explicitly mentioned.
These
terms apply to all Services users, whether or not you've registered an account
(referred to here as "User," "You"/”you” or
"Your"/”your”). By using the Services, You understand, acknowledge
and agree that you must comply with these Terms and Conditions, alongside any
additional terms and conditions that are relevant to specific products or
services. The Services may also furnish guidelines for engaging in particular
activities and services, encompassing, but not limited to, contests,
sweepstakes, and other endeavours. Our Privacy Policy, together with any
supplementary provisions, directives or considerations, are firmly integrated
into these terms via reference. Provided that there is disparity between these
terms and the particular stipulations or directives for the activity in which
you elect to partake, these terms shall take precedence.
2. ABILITY TO MODIFY THIS TERMS
We may change these Terms at any
time and without notifying you. Changes will be effective as soon as the
updated Terms are posted. Please check back regularly to review the latest
version.
Only a written agreement signed by
both parties can amend this agreement. Furthermore, it's important to note that
an e-mail message doesn't qualify as writing and an electronic signature
doesn't qualify as a signature.
If you don't follow Storapy
regulations related to the usage of the Services provided, your privilege to
use the Services will be revoked.
3.

to Your agreement and ongoing compliance with these Terms and any other
relevant policies, terms, conditions or guidelines of Storapy, we grant You a

VIRTUAL
CURRENCY
You
may from time to time "earn", "buy" or "purchase"
virtual currency, such as virtual coins, cash, tokens or points, for use within
or in connection with the Service, or you may receive virtual in-game items in
addition to virtual currency, collectively referred to as "Virtual
Items". You understand
that all
this items have no real-world equivalent and
these terms are used as shorthand only to describe Virtual Items. You do
not actually “own” the Virtual Items and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not
correspond to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Instead, You
may acquire a limited licence to utilise the Services, incorporating software
programmes that intermittently emerge as these items. The purchase and sale of
the limited licence mentioned in these Terms is a finished transaction upon
receipt of your direct payment or redemption of a third party virtual currency
that We accept. Any balance of virtual currency that is displayed in your
Account does not represent a real-world balance or reflect any stored value.
Instead, it serves as a measure of the extent of your licence.

of such material. Even if you subsequently see or learn of a presentation,
sound recording, composition, demo, idea, script, drawing, motion picture,
photograph, film, video or other content that appears to incorporate an idea or

User Submission submitted by you or anyone else, this is purely coincidental

any applicable law or regulation; (c) if We have a good faith belief that the

order, search warrant or subpoena); (e) when we have a good faith belief that
there is an emergency situation that threatens the health and/or safety of you,
another person or the public generally; and (f) in order to protect the rights
or property of Storapy, including the enforcement of our Terms. By entering
into these Terms, you irrevocably consent to such monitoring, access and
disclosure.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Service users and
other parties you interact with through the Services and/or Games. Storapy
reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to become involved in any
way in any such disputes.

harmless Storapy (and our officers, directors, agents, affiliates, joint
ventures and employees) from and against all claims, demands, and damages
(actual and consequential) of every kind and character, known and unknown,
arising out of or related to such disputes, including, without limitation,
damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, or data. If you are a California
resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: "A general
release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect
to exist in his or her favour at the time the release is executed and which, if
known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with
the debtor.
10.

order to access and use certain content, features, functions and/or services,
we require you to register for the Services and to have a unique combination of
a user name and a password (collectively, a "User ID"). Any access to
or use of the Site by yourself or any person or entity using your UserID will
be your responsibility, whether or not such access or use is authorized by
yourself or on your behalf, and whether or not such person or entity is your
employee or representative. You agree to: (a) immediately notify us of any
unauthorised use of your User ID or account or any other breach of security;
and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. It
is your sole responsibility to: (a) control the distribution and use of your
User ID; (b) control access to your account; and (c) terminate your account for
the Services. We reserve the right to deny access, use and registration
privileges to any user of the Services if we believe that there is a question
as to the identity of the person attempting to access an account or any element

caused by you failing to comply with this section.

You
may license Virtual Items by visiting the purchase page in any of our games,
providing your billing information, confirming your purchase details and
agreeing to these Terms. When you purchase a licence for virtual items from our
services, we may send you a confirmation e-mail that will have details of your
order. You should check the accuracy of the details contained in the
confirmation e-mail as soon as possible and keep a copy of the e-mail for your
own records. In order to deal with any subsequent queries, Storapy keeps a
record of transactions. You agree to the payment terms of the third party and
that Storapy is not a party to the transaction when you purchase virtual
currency from a third party.
In
the case of Virtual Items, your order constitutes an offer to us to purchase a
licence for the relevant services. We will accept this offer when we make the
Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or when we
charge your credit card or your account, whichever occurs first.
Your
licence to use the Virtual Items for use in Our Games is a service provided by
Us, which commences upon acceptance by Storapy of your purchase or redemption
of virtual currency from a third party. By ordering a licence to use Virtual
Items, you agree and accept that Storapy will make it available to you
immediately after having completed your purchase. If you are a resident of the
European Union and you purchase a product or service from Storapy, you have the
right to cancel the purchase within seven calendar days from the day after the
purchase date (the "cooling-off period"). However, you lose your
right to cancel if performance of the Services begins before the Cooling Off
Period expires. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase a licence to use
Virtual Goods from Us, your right of cancellation will be lost as performance
of our Services will commence immediately upon completion of your purchase.
You
agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or any person who
uses a user account registered to you. Storapy may change the prices for the
goods and services it licenses to you through the Service at any time. You
acknowledge that Storapy is under no obligation to provide refunds for any
reason and that you will not receive any money or other compensation for unused
virtual items in the event that an account is closed, whether such closure was
voluntary or involuntary.
13.
ADVERTISERS
Occasionally,
you may choose to communicate with, interact with or obtain goods and services
of third parties such as our advertisers, sponsors or promotional partners
(collectively, "Advertisers") found on or through the Services or a
linked site. All such correspondence, interaction and participation are
strictly and solely between you and such advertisers and we shall not be
responsible or liable to you in any way in relation to such activities or
transactions (including but not limited to any representations, guarantees,
agreements, contracts or other terms that may exist between you and the
advertisers or any goods or services you may purchase or receive from an
advertiser). Please review such advertisers' terms and conditions and privacy
policies.
14.
HYPERLINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES
The
appearance, availability or your use of URLs or hyperlinks referred to or
included anywhere on the Services, or any other form of link or redirection of
your connection to, with or through the Services, is not an endorsement by, and
shall not give rise to any obligation, responsibility or liability on the part
of Storapy, its successors and assigns, directors, officers, employees,
representatives, agents, licensors, advertisers, suppliers or operational
service providers. We do not review, endorse or have any responsibility for
such third-party sites, their business practices (including, but not limited
to, their privacy policies), or any goods or services associated with or
obtained in connection with such sites, whether or not the logo and/or sponsorship
identification of the Services or Storapy is displayed on the third-party
website as part of a co-branding or promotional arrangement. In the event that
a third-party website with which you interact obtains or collects personal
information from you, in no event shall we assume or have any responsibility or
liability for their disclosure of your personal information. Accordingly, we
encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and read the terms and
conditions and privacy policies of each website you visit.

set forth in this section, your DMCA Notice may not be valid.
b)
We reserve the right to remove any and all Content that we reasonably believe
to be in violation of the copyright rights of others. However, if you believe
that your Content that has been removed (or to which access has been disabled)
is not infringed, or that you have permission from the copyright owner, the

to us for use on the Services, you may send a counter-notice containing the
following information to our DMCA agent
-
Your handwritten or e-signature;
-
Identify the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled

If
a counter-notice is received by our Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the

has 10 business days in which to replace the content that was removed or to
cease disabling the content. The removed content may be replaced or access to
it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the
counter-notice, in our sole discretion, unless the copyright owner files an
action seeking a court order against the content provider or user.
c)
Please be aware that you may be liable for damages (including attorneys' fees
and other costs) if you materially misrepresent a claim that content is in
violation of your copyright. Therefore, if you are not sure whether material
available on the Services infringes your copyright (it may be protected under
exceptions to the copyright law, such as fair use), we suggest that you seek
legal advice before making a claim. We do not, and cannot, provide legal advice
as to the merits of any claim or dispute with respect to copyright law.
16.

agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Storapy, its successors and
assigns, directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, licensors,
advertisers, suppliers and operational service providers from and against any

reasonable legal fees) (collectively, "Claims") arising in any way
out of (a) your use of the Service, (b) your breach or violation of these
Terms, or (c) your Eligibility. Storapy reserves the right, at its own expense,
to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to
indemnification by you, and in such event, you agree to cooperate with our
defense of such matter.
18.
DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
a)
The Services and all content, products, services and user submissions are
provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any
representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, but
not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, title and non-infringement, or that the Services will be
available for use or that any products, features, functions, services or
operations will be available or perform as described.
b)
Without limitation to the foregoing, we are not responsible or liable for any
malicious code, delays, inaccuracies, errors or omissions in your use of the
services. You understand, acknowledge and agree that you assume the entire risk
as to the quality, accuracy, performance, timeliness, adequacy, completeness,
correctness, authenticity, security and validity of any and all features and
functions of the Services, including, but not limited to, User Postings and
Content associated with your use of the Services. b) You understand, acknowledge
and agree that the use of the Services by you is at your sole risk.
c)
You understand and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable
law, Storapy, their succussing and assignees shall not be liable for any loss
or injury of any nature whatsoever arising out of or related to the use of the
services or these terms and conditions.
d)
You further understand and acknowledge that the capacity of the Service, in the
aggregate and to individual users, is limited. Consequently, some messages and transmissions,
including without limitation User Submissions, may not be processed timely or
at all, and some features or functions may be limited, delayed or unavailable.
As a result, you acknowledge and agree that Storapy assumes no liability,
responsibility or obligation for the transmission, processing, storage, receipt
or delivery of any transactions or User Submissions or for any failure or delay
in connection with any User Submissions. You are hereby expressly advised not
to rely on the timeliness or performance of the Services for any transactions
or User Submissions. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain
warranties or the limitation of certain damages and remedies, so some of the
exclusions and limitations described in these Terms of Use may not apply to
you.
19.
MISCELLANEOUS
a)
These Terms, together with any Additional Terms, rules, our Privacy Policy and
any other rules, procedures and policies that we refer to and are hereby
incorporated by reference, contain the entire understanding and agreement
between you and Storapy regarding the Services and supersede any prior or
inconsistent understandings regarding the Services and your use of them. These
Terms of Use may not be modified or terminated by oral agreement. If any
provision of these Terms of Use is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect and
these Terms of Use shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make them
legal, valid and enforceable. Any provision that must survive in order for us
to give effect to its intent shall survive the termination of these Terms.
However, no action arising out of these Terms or your use of the Services,
regardless of the form or basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than
one year after the cause of action arose (or, in the case of multiple causes of
action, from the date the first such case arose).
b) This Agreement does not create the relationship of principal and agent,
shareholder, joint ventures, employer and employee, trustee or any other
similar relationship. You are prohibited from representing to anyone that you
represent or are authorised to represent Storapy.
c)
The waiver or failure by Storapy to exercise any right provided for herein
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right provided for herein.
Storapy's rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are cumulative and in
addition to any other rights or remedies Storapy may have at law or in equity,
except for the sole and exclusive remedies expressly provided herein.
d)
You acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement may cause immediate and irreparable harm to Storapy that cannot be
adequately compensated by monetary damages and that Storapy may seek injunctive
relief, specific performance and/or other equitable relief as a remedy for such
breach or threatened breach without posting bond or other security.
e)
Neither you nor Storapy shall be responsible for any delay or failure in
performance due to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war and terrorism,
embargoes, boycotts, changes in government regulations, epidemics, fire,
communication lines, power failures, earthquakes, other disasters or any other
reason where the failure to perform is beyond the control of the defaulting
party and not caused by the defaulting party.
f) These Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of
California (without regard to the conflict of law’s provisions of the State)
applicable to contracts made, executed and wholly performed in California, and
for the purpose of any legal or equitable action, you specifically consent and
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts
located in the State of California and County of San Francisco and agree not to
object to such jurisdiction or venue on the grounds of lack of personal
jurisdiction, forum non convenience or otherwise. In any action or proceeding
brought to enforce any right or obligation of the parties under this Agreement,
your use of the Services, or relating to the subject matter hereof, you hereby
waive any right you may now or hereafter have to a trial by jury.
g)
This Agreement is written in the English language and all disputes between the
parties shall be resolved in the English language. You understand and
acknowledge that any foreign language services provided by Storapy are for
information purposes only and it is your obligation to obtain independent legal
advice at your own expense to ensure that you understand the terms of these
Terms.
h)
These Terms were last amended on the date above and are effective immediately.
The
section titles in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and
