Some aspects of Our Services may require you to pay a fee through a storefront operated by a third party, like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (hereafter ¡°Platform Provider¡± or ¡°Platform Providers¡±). Your contractual partner providing these Services to you will be the Platform Provider. Your purchase through the Platform Provider is subject to any applicable terms or conditions imposed by the Platform Provider, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

We will never require you to make any purchase of any kind in your use of Our Services.

Initially, a certain quantity of those Virtual Currencies will be provided to you on your first login to some of Our Services and again after determined periods of time. When you exhaust your supply of the necessary Virtual Currencies, you may be provided with the opportunity to elect to purchase additional Virtual Currencies and continue to play (SUCH PURCHASE IS NOT REQUIRED NOR MANDATORY) or you may opt to wait until additional free Virtual Currency is available to you. VIRTUAL CURRENCY IS LICENSED TO YOU FROM GAMESPRING FOR YOUR USE IN OUR SERVICES, SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS AND OTHER TERMS SET OUT BELOW.

 

We may offer subscription Services (hereafter ¡°Subscription¡±) that require automatically recurring, periodic payments (hereafter ¡°Subscription Fee¡±) for ongoing access. Subscription requirements, associated features and limitations may vary across platforms, regions, and over time.

 

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (hereafter ¡°Subscription Period¡±).

We reserve the right to modify the terms on which Subscriptions are offered at any time. Changes may include the Subscription Fee and/or the benefits included in the Subscription. We will attempt to notify you of such changes at least 30 days in advance. If you don¡¯t agree to a Subscription change, you must cancel your Subscription before the change takes effect. By not canceling the Subscription before the change takes effect, you indicate that you accept the updated Subscription terms.

 

Your Subscription may begin with an introductory free-trial or other promotional period.

Your Subscription will automatically renew on a going-forward basis for the then-current full Subscription Fee at the end of the promotional period. You may cancel your promotional access to the Subscription before the end of the promotional period to prevent automatic renewal of the Subscription.

 

All transaction fees are non-refundable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. The Platform Provider is responsible for any refunds and its refund policies will apply. You will need to contact the applicable Platform Provider directly in order to submit any refund requests.

 

In the event that your GameSpring account is terminated, you will need to cancel any Subscriptions you are enrolled in with Platform Providers. GameSpring cannot cancel Subscriptions on your behalf.

 

In the event it becomes necessary to collect on balances due, you will reimburse us and our vendors or agents for all expenses incurred to recover sums due, including attorneys¡¯ fees and other legal expenses.
