VIRTUAL GOODS
This Section 4 contains additional terms to the Agreement that relate to the use and purchase of Virtual Goods within the Game and is only established when the User selects the “Pay” or “Purchase” button in the Game shop. MR (or the app store provider) accepts these additional terms by sending an order confirmation or by delivering the Virtual Goods. Payments for Virtual Goods must be made in advance. Virtual Goods include in-game currency and may also include trophies and other virtual items (collectively referred to as “Virtual Goods”).
The prices for Virtual Goods are displayed in the respective app store and are confirmed when the order is placed. Prices may vary by currency and country. Payments are processed through the app stores, and their terms apply.
In-game currencies (referred to as “Virtual Points”) represent units for the use of Virtual Goods within the Game and are not real money and have no real-world monetary value. They are digital, non-refundable, and non-transferable virtual assets that can only be used within the Game. Virtual points cannot be exchanged for actual currency, goods, or services outside the Game.
Virtual Points purchased with real money will be used first, before those earned through gameplay.
Users are responsible for any fees resulting from cancellations or chargebacks caused by insufficient funds. MR may recover these costs in addition to the original payment. Users can contest the amount claimed.
If the User defaults on payment, MR may restrict access to the Game until the outstanding amount is paid, along with any statutory default interest.
MR reserves the right to introduce new Virtual Goods and modify or discontinue existing Virtual Goods. Discontinued permanent content may be available during a transition period or exchanged for similar content. Further claims are excluded.
Lucky Spins are a Game feature that allows you to receive additional bonuses in the form of Virtual Goods. Free Attempts refresh after a certain period of time. Depending on Users progress in the Game, the bonuses you can obtain through this feature may vary in type and amount of Virtual Goods. These bonuses have no real-money value, cannot be exchanged for real currency and they are intended solely for in-Game use.
Virtual Goods can never be redeemed for real money, goods, or any other item of monetary value from MR or any other party. You understand that You have no right or title in Virtual Goods.
