1. REGISTRATION AND USE OF PASSWORD
We may require each user to have a unique user name and password combination in order to use the Site and may also, from time to time, provide users with additional codes or passwords necessary to access and use certain features or functions of the Site. Please read our Privacy Policy, which describes the personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) we collect, use, disclose, manage and store. As part of the registration process, you will choose a user name and password (or we may assign an initial password which we will give you the option to change). Your user name and password are personal to you and you may not allow any others to use your user name or password under any circumstances. We are not liable for any harm caused or related to the theft or misappropriation of your user name or password, disclosure of your user name or password, or your authorization of anyone else to use your user name or password.

You agree that you are solely responsible and liable for all actions taken via your password, whether or not made with your knowledge or authority.

2. MODIFICATIONS
Conclusion of contract, free licence agreement As a user, you conclude a contract with us for the free use of Games via the browser (“Licence Agreement”). The Licence Agreement may be terminated by us and by you at any time without cause and the Services may be discontinued at any time without cause. We only offer our Games to persons who are at least 16 years old. Persons younger than this are not permitted to use our games. The license agreement is free of charge. In addition to the free licence agreement referred, we may offer chargeable services against payment (“Premium Services”). As a user, you have the choice to use these services or not. Before using these services, you will be informed of your obligation to pay by means of a clear marking, and you must expressly confirm your use if any. Further details and information on the Premium Services, in particular on the conclusion of the contract, on the description of the respective Premium Services, on the fee will be set out on the relevant order page. Licence agreements are concluded with Native Digital Ireland Ltd of 12 Millbank Business Park, Lucan, Co. Dublin, K78 CF75, Ireland as the contractual partner. Further information about us, in particular our contact details, commercial register number, and the names of the persons authorised to represent us can be obtained at request from [email protected]. Accounts You may also create a user account (“Account”). In this account, you can change your data and manage the games. An Account can be created either on our game portal or on the respective website of the Game. An account is not transferable, whether for a fee or free of charge, without our express consent. As a user, you can only have one Account. You can log in to your Account via the website. Multiple accounts by you (“multi-accounts”) are prohibited and may be punished with an immediate blocking or with an extraordinary termination of the licence agreement. Any claims by you are excluded in this case. As a user, you undertake to keep the log-in data, passwords, and access data (together “access data”) for your account secret and to inform us immediately as soon as you become aware or suspect that unauthorised third parties are aware of the access data. In this case, you will change your data or have it changed by us. In such a case, we also have the right to temporarily block your access. You are to be re-admitted as a user as soon as the suspicion of misuse of the access data by you or third parties has been dispelled at our discretion. If a third party uses an account because they have obtained your access data through your fault, you will be treated as if you had acted yourself. If we suspect that access data has become known to third parties, we are entitled, but not obliged, to change the access data or block the account without prior notice. We will inform you of this immediately and send you new access data within a reasonable period on request. Further claims by you as a result of the temporary blocking of your account or change of your access data are excluded. Inactive accounts can be deleted by us in accordance with the respective game rules. The licence agreement will then automatically end. Accessibility We guarantee an accessibility of the games of 98% on an annual average. This does not include periods of regular maintenance of the Games, which is only possible in offline mode, and periods in which the Games cannot be accessed due to force majeure, external manipulation or other problems beyond our control or that of our vicarious agents. We shall only be liable for the inaccessibility of the Games to the extent that intent or gross negligence is involved or due to injury to life, body or health. We reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, for any reason in our sole discretion, to change the terms of this Agreement. We will post or display notices of material changes on the Site and/or e-mail you or notify you upon login about these changes; the form of such notice is at our discretion. Such changes and/or modifications shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof. Please review the terms of use periodically.
