KIXEYE reserves the right to charge for any portion of the Service and to change its fees or subscription rates (if any) from time to time in its discretion. You are responsible for all charges incurred on any payment method associated with Your account. You agree to pay all fees when due.

In addition, KIXEYE may offer in-game virtual currency to purchase in-game virtual goods or services or enhanced game play ("Virtual Currency"). Each item of virtual currency is a virtual token constituting a limited access permission to use certain features of the Service. When You acquire Virtual Currency, KIXEYE grants You a limited access permission to use Virtual Currency as a virtual token to be redeemed for the right to access and use virtual goods or services or enhanced game play in accordance with this Agreement. This limited access permission may not be sold or transferred to another user or third party, sublicensed, encumbered, conveyed or made subject to any right of survivorship or other disposition by operation of law or otherwise, and you agree that any attempted disposition in violation of this Agreement is null and void. You agree that KIXEYE has the right to manage, regulate and/or modify the limited access permission and that KIXEYE will have no liability to You based on our exercise of this right. KIXEYE makes no guarantee as to the nature, quality or value of the features of the Service that will accessible through the use of Virtual Currency, or the availability or supply of Virtual Currency.

The Virtual Currency may only be used on the Site within a game and, consequently, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT VIRTUAL CURRENCY HAS NO CASH VALUE AND KIXEYE MAY REVOKE THE LIMITED ACCESS PERMISSION AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE, REFUND OR COMPENSATION IF (I) YOUR RIGHT TO ACCESS THE WEBSITES AND/OR SERVICES IS TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON, (II) THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY PROGRAM IS SUSPENDED OR DISCONTINUED, (III) KIXEYE DETERMINES THAT FRAUD OR OTHER ILLEGAL CONDUCT IS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT, (IV) KIXEYE IMPOSES AN EXPIRATION DATE ON USAGE OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS; OR (V) YOU BECOME DELINQUENT ON ANY OF YOUR PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS OR CEASE TO MAINTAIN AN ACTIVE ACCOUNT. IN ANY SUCH EVENT, THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY, VIRTUAL GOODS OR SERVICES, AND YOUR ACCOUNT SHALL HAVE NO VALUE.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT KIXEYE IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CASH OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL CURRENCY WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

KIXEYE is not liable for "hacking" or loss of Your virtual goods or services from Your account, however KIXEYE may, in its sole discretion, reimburse Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency upon proof that such loss was not due to Your Inappropriate Use. KIXEYE may limit the quantity of any item or refuse to provide you with any virtual good. Verification of certain information applicable to a transaction may be required prior to KIXEYE's acceptance of Your payment. Price and availability of virtual goods or services are subject to change with no notice. KIXEYE has no liability with respect to virtual goods or services or Virtual Currency that is gifted to You or provided as an incentive.

KIXEYE is not responsible or liable to You for any charges accessed by any third-party payment providers. KIXEYE expressly disclaims any liability for any such transactions, and You agree that Your sole avenue of recourse regarding such transactions is through such third party-payment providers.
