You agree that once purchased Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods have no monetary value and can never be exchanged for real money, real goods or real services from us or anyone else. You agree that Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods are not transferrable to anyone else and you will not transfer or attempt to transfer any Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods to anyone else.

4.2 You do not own Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Money but instead you purchase a limited personal revocable licence to use them - any balance of Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Money does not reflect any stored value.

4.3 You agree that all sales by us to you of Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods are final, that we will not refund any transaction once it has been made. If you live in the European Union you have certain rights to withdraw from distance purchases; however, please note that when you purchase a licence to use Virtual Goods or Virtual Money from us, you acknowledge and agree that we will begin the provision of the Virtual Goods or Virtual Money to you promptly once your purchase is complete and therefore your right of withdrawal is lost at this point. For the purposes of this paragraph 4.3, a "purchase" is complete at the time our servers validate your purchase and the applicable Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Money are successfully credited to your account on our servers.

4.4 If you do not connect your game play on a device to an account that is linked to either your social network account or a SoulFriends  Games account, we will not be able to restore any Virtual Money or other data associated with your Game play to a different device if you lose that device or it is damaged. Accordingly, on a device which is not connected in this way:

- any risk of loss of Virtual Money which you purchase from us is transferred to you upon completion of the purchase as described in paragraph 4.3 above;

- any risk of loss of Virtual Money that you receive from us without making a purchase is transferred to you at the time the Virtual Money is successfully credited to your account on our servers; and

- any risk of loss of other data associated with your Game play (including, without limitation, your progress through the Game, or the level or score you have reached in our Games) is transferred to you immediately at the time such Game play data is generated.

4.5 The data associated with Virtual Goods, whether purchased by you using Virtual Money or otherwise credited or awarded to you, is stored locally on your device and so is not synced between different devices even if you have connected your game play on a device to an account that is linked to either your social network account or King account. Accordingly, any risk of loss of this data is transferred to you (i) in the case of Virtual Goods which you purchase from us, upon completion of the purchase as described in paragraph 4.3 above; and/or (ii) in other cases, at the time the Virtual Goods are credited or awarded to you.

4.6 We reserve the right to control, regulate, change or remove any Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods without any liability to you at any time.

You are only allowed to obtain Virtual Money and Virtual Goods from us or our authorized partners through the Services, and not in any other way.

4.8 Depending on your platform, any Virtual Money or Virtual Goods purchased is purchased from your platform provider and such purchase will be subject to its terms of service and user agreement. Usage rights for each purchase may differ from item to item. If you are unsure about usage rights you should check with your platform before making a purchase. Unless otherwise shown, content available in any in-game store has the same age rating as the game.

4.9 Without limiting the other provisions of these Terms, if we suspend or terminate your account in accordance with these terms you may lose any Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods that you may have and we will not compensate you for this loss or make any refund to you.

4.10 Refund Policy

- You can request for a purchase withdrawal if you have purchased any Virtual Money or Virtual goods in cash within the last 7 days and if they are completely unused. If you have purchased them within the last 7 days but have used up part of them, then you can no longer request for a purchase withdrawal.

- If additional Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods are provided with purchased Virtual Money and Virtual Goods, you cannot request a withdrawal if some of the additional Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods are used.

- However, if there was a fault with Virtual Money and Virtual Goods you received, you can make a purchase withdrawal request within the 3 months of their purchase, or within the 30 days from the date you knew or could know about the fault, whichever comes first.

- If a minor deals with us without consent from the legal representative, the minor or the legal representative can cancel the transaction.
