  1. OWNERSHIP 

  1. The Game is licensed, not sold. This EULA and your use of the Game does not give you any rights of ownership in any property whether tangible or intangible (including without limitation in any Virtual Item). 

  1. Your licence confers no title or ownership in the Game.

  1. The Game is protected by copyright law, international copyright treaties and conventions and other laws. All rights are asserted and reserved. The Game may contain certain licensed materials and Supermassive’s licensors may act to protect their rights in the event of any breach of this EULA. All trade marks are the property of their respective owners.

 

  1. OPERATING SYSTEM AND DEVICE REQUIREMENTS 

  1. An internet connection may be required to use certain aspects of the Game.

  1. BREACH AND TERMINATION 

  1. The licence granted by this EULA will terminate automatically if you breach its terms and conditions. In that event, you must immediately destroy and erase the Game and all and any copies in your possession or control and stored on any media whatsoever and upon Supermassive’s request certify that you have done so.  

  1. You may terminate this EULA at any time by erasing the Game from your device.  

  1. Please make sure you read this EULA carefully and understand it. If we are threatened with or face legal action because you break any of the terms and conditions in this EULA, we may hold you responsible. That means you may need to compensate us, and pay us back for any damage we suffer as a result, and for our legal and other expenses. 

  1. We may terminate our agreement with you (in whole or in part) for any reason at our discretion upon reasonable notice to you. This may happen, without limitation, because we choose to end the availability of the Game. If your use of the Game was provided to you free of charge, you will not be entitled to compensation in this event. If you paid for the Game, content or services in connection with the Game, you will not be entitled to a refund where you have substantially had the enjoyment of what you had paid for. Where you have not had a reasonable period of opportunity to enjoy the paid-for Game, we may offer you a partial or full refund. 

 

  1. UPDATES AND ADDITIONAL TERMS 

  1. We may change or update this EULA from time to time, but changes only affect you to the extent they can legally apply. For example, if we release an update with a new EULA, and you do not use the update, then the old EULA applies. But if you do use the updates or if you use parts of the Game(s) that rely on any ongoing online services (if applicable) then the new EULA will apply. Please check back with us periodically to make sure that you're aware of the latest version of this EULA. 

  1. We may make codes of conduct and usage rules and guidance available to you, which may provide additional rules and guidance about your use of our Game. We require that you comply with these rules so that we can properly operate our Game and to ensure that our users have a safe and fair experience. To the extent of ambiguity or conflict between a code of conduct and this EULA, this EULA prevails. 

 

  1. VIRTUAL ITEMS (IF APPLICABLE) 

  1. As part of and to enhance your use and enjoyment of the Game you may be able to obtain additional features and digital content that form part of the experience of the Game (“Virtual Items”).  

  1. Virtual Items are gameplay features of the Game, they have no cash or real world value, they are not redeemable or exchangeable for anything with a real world value and they can be used as part of the Game only.  

  1. Purchases of Virtual Items are subject to this EULA and the terms of any third party store through which your purchase is made. Purchases are made via permitted third party Stores, and not via Supermassive.  

  1. To cancel a purchase of any Virtual Items you should contact the platform through which you made that purchase. If you cannot use Virtual Items due to an error or fault, you may still be charged. If this happens, please contact Supermassive and we will endeavour to rectify the issue and if we are unable to do so you may be entitled to a refund via the platform through which you made that purchase. 

  1. Virtual Items that may be purchased may be advertised in the Game. 

  1. Without limiting Game and Virtual Item purchases from Supermassive’s permitted stores, it is a condition and fundamental term of this EULA and your use of the Game that you must not buy, sell, barter, swap, exchange, trade, lend, rent or otherwise deal in any way with any Virtual Item outside of the Game (such as on unauthorised item trading sites) or in any way other than as expressly provided above. Virtual Items may only be exchanged for certain other designated Virtual Items in and as part of the Game only and where that functionality is made available by Supermassive.   

  1. Subject to Clause 6, Supermassive may manage, vary, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items in its sole discretion, with or without notice (including not supplying Virtual Items if it is reasonable to do so). Subject to Clause 6 and this EULA, Supermassive shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event that Supermassive exercises such rights.  

  1. When you submit, or anyone using your device submits, a request to purchase Virtual Items you are offering to purchase them for the price stated and our acceptance of that offer shall only occur once we make the Virtual Items available to you, prior to which your order may be declined for any reason. 

  1. Please notify Supermassive immediately if you dispute a transaction involving Virtual Items or believe that any transaction is unauthorised. 

 

  1. INTERNET 

  1. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SUPERMASSIVE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DELAYS OR FAILURES YOU MAY EXPERIENCE IN INITIATING, CONDUCTING, OR COMPLETING ANY TRANSMISSIONS OR TRANSACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE GAME IN AN ACCURATE OR TIMELY MANNER.

Further, Supermassive cannot and does not promise or ensure that you will be able to access the online, multi-player, or downloadable portions of the Game whenever you want, and there may be extended periods of time when you cannot access such portions of the Game. Supermassive does not ensure continuous, error-free, secure, or virus-free operation of any online, multi-player, or downloadable portions of the Game or continued operation or availability of any given server.
