Supplemental terms and conditions will be disclosed to you in connection with such competition, service or activity. Any supplemental terms and conditions are in addition to these terms and, in the event of a conflict, prevail over these terms.
We may amend these terms. Any such amendment will be effective thirty (30) days following our posting of the amendment on the Services. If you do not agree to any change to these terms, you must discontinue using the Services.
We may immediately terminate this contract with respect to you (including your access to the Services) if you fail to comply with any provision of these terms.
THE SERVICES

Except as we specifically agree in writing, no element of the Services may be used or exploited in any way other than as part of the Services offered to you. You may own the physical media on which elements of the Services are delivered to you, but we retain full and complete ownership of the Services. We do not transfer title to any portion of the Services to you.
Content and Software License
If a Service is configured to enable the use of software, content, virtual items or other materials owned or licensed by us, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to access and use such software, content, virtual item or other material for your personal, noncommercial use only.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS.
WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL WE BE HELD LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.
THESE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS DO NOT AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER OR PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER THE LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE.
Changes to the Services
The Services are constantly evolving and will change over time. If we make a material change to the Services, we will provide you with reasonable notice and you will be entitled to terminate this contract.
Additional Restrictions on Use of the Services
We do not allow uses of the Services that are commercial or business-related, or that advertise or offer to sell products or services (whether or not for profit), or that solicit others (including solicitations for contributions or donations). You agree not to knowingly or recklessly introduce a virus or other harmful component, or otherwise tamper with, impair or damage any Service or connected network, or interfere with any person or entity’s use or enjoyment of any Service. You agree not to use any software or device that allows automated gameplay, expedited gameplay, or other manipulation of gameplay or game client and you agree not to cheat or otherwise modify a Service or game experience to create an advantage for one user over another. Additionally, you agree not to access, monitor or copy, or permit another person or entity to access, monitor or copy, any element of the Services using a robot, spider, scraper or other automated means or manual process without our express written permission.
Third-Party Services and Content
The Services may integrate, be integrated into, or be provided in connection with third-party services and content. We do not control those third-party services and content. You should read the terms of use agreements and privacy policies that apply to such third-party services and content.
If you access a Service using an Apple iOS or Android device, Apple Inc. or Google, Inc., respectively, shall be a third-party beneficiary to this contract. However, these third-party beneficiaries are not a party to this contract and are not responsible for the provision or support of the Services. You agree that your access to the Services using these devices also shall be subject to the usage terms set forth in the applicable third-party beneficiary’s terms of service.

When you access the Services through a mobile network, your network or roaming provider’s messaging, data and other rates and fees will apply. Downloading, installing or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your network provider and not all Services may work with your network provider or device.
YOUR ACCOUNT

Some Services permit or require you to create an account to participate or to secure additional benefits. You agree to provide and maintain accurate, current and complete information, including your contact information for notices and other communications from us and your payment information. You agree not to impersonate or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, including using another person’s username, password or other account information, or another person’s name or likeness, or provide false details for a parent or guardian. You agree that we may take steps to verify the accuracy of information you provide, including contact information for a parent or guardian.
We have adopted and implemented a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts of users who fail to comply with these terms or any supplemental terms.
Passwords and Security
You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your username and password, and you are responsible for all activities under your account that you can reasonably control. You agree to promptly notify us of any unauthorised use of your username, password or other account information, or of any other breach of security that you become aware of involving your account or the Services.
The security, integrity and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures that are designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use and modification.
PAID TRANSACTIONS
Identity of Seller
Sales are made by Smart Puppies or the seller identified at the time of sale, if different. If you have questions about your order, please contact the seller at the address provided and they will assist you. Some storefronts on the Services are operated by third parties and, in that case, different or additional sale terms may apply, which you should read when they are presented to you.
Digital Content and Virtual Items
We may make applications, games, software or other digital content available on the Services for you to license for a one-time fee. When purchasing a license to access such material from a Service, charges will be disclosed to you on the Service before you complete the license purchase.
Your purchase of digital content is a payment for a limited, non-assignable license to access and use such content or functionality in the Services. Digital content purchased or available to you in the Services can only be used in connection with the Services where you obtained them or where they were developed by you as a result of game play. This digital content is not redeemable or subject to refund and cannot be traded outside of the Services for money or other items for value. We may modify or discontinue digital content at any time.
Subscriptions
Some Services may require paid subscriptions to access. By signing up for a subscription, you agree that your subscription will be automatically renewed and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorise us to charge your payment method for the renewal term. The period of auto-renewal will be the same as your initial subscription period unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of sale. The renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior subscription period, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless we notify you of a rate change prior to your auto-renewal. From time to time, we may offer a free trial subscription for a Service. If you register for a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill your account when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time.
The Order Process
You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address (if applicable), payment method and product details. We will send to you a notice when we accept your order and our acceptance will be deemed complete and for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time we send the notice. At such time, the contract for sale will be made and become binding for both you and us. The risk of loss in any goods you purchase and the responsibility to insure them passes to you when the relevant goods are delivered.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. Some situations that may result in your order being cancelled include system or typographical errors, inaccuracies in product or pricing information or product availability, fairness among customers where supplies are limited, or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We also may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is cancelled after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will refund your payment.
Payments and Billing
When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information.
Right of Cancellation; Return of Goods
When you subscribe to a Service, you have the right to cancel your contract within fourteen (14) days after your receipt and acceptance of these terms and you will receive a full refund of the subscription fee paid. If we refund your subscription fee, you will still be obligated to pay other charges incurred.
When you purchase a license to access digital content, you will be given an opportunity to consent to delivery at the time of purchase. By consenting to delivery, you acknowledge that you have lost the right to cancel and the license purchase fee is non-refundable.
You have the right, within thirty (30) days from the date of your receipt of physical goods, to cancel our contract with you and return the goods. This right does not apply to products stated by us on the Services to be non-returnable, including products that have been unsealed. If you are returning goods that are not faulty, you may be required to pay for the cost of returning the goods to us and we may deduct a reasonable amount if you use the goods. If you wish to cancel, you must do so by following the cancellation instructions for the particular Service.
Personalized Goods
Please note that the rights of cancellation and return do not apply for personalised goods. Cancellations and changes to personalised goods cannot be made once you have submitted your order and personalised items cannot be returned unless there is a manufacturing error or product defect. We reserve the right to refuse personalised orders at our discretion. Inappropriate use of our personalisation service will cause your order to be cancelled and any payment refunded.
Pricing; Taxes
We may revise the pricing for products and services we offer. If you pay a periodic subscription fee for a Service, we will provide you with reasonable notice of changes to the fees or billing methods in advance of their effective date and you will be able to cancel your subscription prior to such change. When you place your order, we estimate the tax and include that estimate in the total for your convenience. The actual tax amount that will be applied to your order and charged to your payment method is based on calculations on the date of shipment, regardless of when the order was placed.
International Shipping; Customs
When ordering goods for delivery to countries other than the country where the seller is located, you may have to pay import duties and taxes levied. These and any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you. For goods shipped internationally, please note that any manufacturer warranty may not be valid; manufacturer service options may not be available; manuals, instructions and safety warnings may not be in destination country languages; the goods and accompanying materials may not be designed in accordance with destination country standards, specifications, and labeling requirements; and the goods may not conform to destination country voltage (requiring use of an adapter or converter). You are responsible for assuring the goods can be lawfully imported to the destination country. When ordering from us, the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the destination country.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
Submissions and Unsolicited Ideas Policies
Our company policy does not allow us to accept or consider unsolicited creative ideas, suggestions or materials. In connection with anything you submit to us, whether or not solicited by us, you agree that creative ideas, suggestions or other materials you submit are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of review, compensation or consideration of any type.
Claims of Copyright Infringement
Notifications of claimed copyright infringement and counter notices must be sent to Player Support. We are only able to accept notices in the languages into which these terms are made available by us. We will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Services that are reported to us.
Choice of Law
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands.
Severability
If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Survival
The provisions of these terms which by their nature should survive the termination of these terms shall survive such termination.
Waiver
No waiver of any provision of these terms by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
