Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, you agree that you have no right or title in or to any content that appears in the Service, including without limitation the virtual goods or currency appearing or originating in any Kaos Logic game, whether earned in a game or purchased from Kaos Logic, or any other attributes associated with an Account or stored on the Service.

Kaos Logic prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property effectuated outside of the Service, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Service, unless otherwise expressly authorized by Kaos Logic in writing. Accordingly, you may not trade, sell or attempt to sell in-game items or currency for "real" money, or exchange those items or currency for value of any kind outside of a game, without Kaos Logic's written permission. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and will subject your Account to termination.


1.11.4. User Content


"User Content" means any communications, images, sounds, and all the material, data, and information that you upload or transmit through a Kaos Logic game client or the Service, or that other users upload or transmit, including without limitation any chat text.

By transmitting or submitting any User Content while using the Service, you affirm, represent and warrant that such transmission or submission is (a) accurate and not confidential; (b) not in violation of any laws, contractual restrictions or other third party rights, and that you have permission from any third party whose personal information or intellectual property is comprised in the User Content; (c) free of viruses, adware, spyware, worms or other malicious code; and (d) you acknowledge and agree that any of your personal information within such content will at all times be processed by Kaos Logic in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

You hereby grant Kaos Logic a perpetual and irrevocable (other than as provided below), worldwide, fully paid-up and royalty free, non-exclusive, unlimited license, including the right to sublicense and assign to third parties, and right to copy, reproduce, fix, adapt, modify, improve, translate, reformat, create derivative works from, manufacture, introduce into circulation, commercialize, publish, distribute, sell, license, sublicense, transfer, rent, lease, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, or provide access to electronically, broadcast, communicate to the public by telecommunication, display, perform, enter into computer memory, and use and practice, in any way now known or in the future discovered, your User Content as well as all modified and derivative works thereof.

However, you understand and accept that removed content may persist in back-up copies for a reasonable period of time.


2. USER CONTENT



2.1. Content Screening


Kaos Logic assumes no responsibility for the conduct of any user submitting any User Content, and assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Service for inappropriate content or conduct.

We do not, and cannot, pre-screen or monitor all User Content. However, at our discretion, our representatives or technology may monitor and/or record your interaction with the Service or communications (including without limitation chat text) when you are using the Service.

By entering into these Terms of Service, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring and recording. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of any User Content, including without limitation chat text or voice communications.

If at any time Kaos Logic chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Service, Kaos Logic nonetheless assumes no responsibility for User Content and assumes no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate User Content. We have the right, but not the obligation, in our sole discretion to edit, refuse to post, or remove any User Content.


2.2. Information Use by Other Members of the Service



2.2.1. Public Discourse


The Service may include various forums, blogs and chat features where you can post User Content, including your observations and comments on designated topics. Kaos Logic cannot guarantee that other members will not use the ideas and information that you share. Therefore, if you have an idea or information that you would like to keep confidential and/or don't want others to use, do not post it on the Service. Kaos Logic shall have no responsibility to evaluate, use or compensate you for any ideas or information you may choose to submit.


Kaos Logic IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A MEMBER'S MISUSE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION YOU POST IN ANY FORUMS, BLOGS AND CHAT ROOMS.


2.2.2. Responsible For Your Own Content


You are solely responsible for the information that you post on, through or in connection with the Service and that you provide to others.

Information, materials, products or services provided by other users (for instance, in their profiles) may, in whole or in part, be unauthorized, impermissible or otherwise violate these Terms of Service, and Kaos Logic assumes no responsibility or liability for this material. If you become aware of misuse of the Service by any person, please use any "Report Abuse" link provided or contact us at Customer Support.

Kaos Logic may reject, refuse to post or delete any User Content for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, User Content that in the sole judgment of Kaos Logic violates these Terms of Service.

Kaos Logic reserves the right to limit the storage capacity of User Content that you post on, through or in connection with the Service.


2.3. Disclosure


You expressly agree that We have the right, at all times, and at our sole discretion, to disclose any user content and other information (including without limitation chat text, voice communications, IP addresses and your personal information): (a) in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena) when We have a good faith belief that the information is required to be disclosed in response to legal process; (b) to allow Us to satisfy any applicable law, regulation or governmental request; (c) to allow Us to enforce these Terms of Service, the Kaos Logic Privacy Policy or any other agreement, terms or policy relating to the Service, (d) to protect our legal rights and remedies; (e) in other circumstances in which We believe the Kaos Logic games or web sites are being used in the commission of a crime (including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction) and for the purpose of reporting the same to the appropriate authorities; (f) to report any other suspected crime or other offensive behavior to the appropriate authorities; (g) when We have a good faith belief that there is a threat to the health and/or safety of you or another person; or (h) when necessary either to protect the rights or property of Kaos Logic, or for Us to render the Service you have requested.


2.4. User Interactions



2.4.1 Member Disputes


You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Service and any other parties with whom you interact through the Service and/or Kaos Logic games. Kaos Logic reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes.


2.4.2 Release


If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."


3. FEES AND PURCHASE TERMS



3.1. Purchases


In the Service you may purchase, with "real world" money, a license to use (a) "virtual currency", including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in Kaos Logic games; (b) "virtual in-game items" (together with "virtual currency", "Virtual Items"); and (c) other goods or services ("Merchandise"). You may also obtain a license to use Virtual Items by redeeming third party virtual currency such as Facebook Credits.


ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF THIRD PARTY VIRTUAL CURRENCY MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

You can order Virtual Items by visiting the purchase page in one of our games, providing your billing information, confirming the particulars of your purchase and re-affirming your agreement to these Terms. When you place an order to purchase Virtual Items from our Service, we may send you a confirmatory e-mail that will contain details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and maintain a copy of it for your records. Kaos Logic keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries. If you purchase Facebook Credits from Facebook, you are agreeing to Facebook's Payment Terms and Kaos Logic is not a party to the transaction.

For Virtual Items, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase the relevant product(s) which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card, whichever comes first.

The provision of Virtual Items for use in Kaos Logic games is a service provided by Kaos Logic that commences immediately upon acceptance by Kaos Logic of your purchase. By ordering Virtual Items you agree and accept that Kaos Logic will provide them to you immediately following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the European Union and you purchase a product or service from Kaos Logic, you have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven calendar days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (the "Cooling Off Period"). However, you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the services begins before the end of the Cooling Off Period. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase Virtual Items from us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our services begins immediately once your purchase is completed.


3.2. Payment of Fees


You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. Kaos Logic may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT Kaos Logic IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

Kaos Logic may provide links on the Service to third party websites or vendors who may invite you to participate in a promotional offer in return for receiving optional Services and/or upgrades (such as in-game currency).

Kaos Logic makes no representation or warranty regarding any content, goods and/or services provided by any third party even if linked from our Service, and will not be liable for any claim relating to any third party content, goods and/or services. The linked sites are not under the control of Kaos Logic and may collect data or solicit personal information from you. Kaos Logic is not responsible for their content, business practices or privacy policies, or for the collection, use or disclosure of any information those sites may collect.
