without the prior consent of Yiota Online Games.
Users can play the online and mobile games offered essentially free of charge.
However, the user can pay money to purchase virtual currency
(e.g. rubies, gold, jewels, the "premium currency"),
certain virtual features, and other services (together with the "purchasable features")
within the context of the online games and mobile games.
The price for the desired virtual currency appears in euros,
US dollars, or in another currency applicable to the user's region.
The user can purchase advantages or virtual items in the online
or mobile game with the premium currency purchased.
Users will receive specific information on the features available for purchase,
particularly the function of the feature in question,
how long the feature for purchase will be available (if applicable),
the respective purchasing price, and the payment method available in the online or mobile game.
The payment options vary according to the online or mobile game, the participant's country,
and the technically feasible payment options available in the market.
Yiota Online Games reserves the right to amend their payment options.
The money is collected via the service provider commissioned by the user
for the respective payment process or via a transfer made by the user.
For mobile games, money is collected via the respective app store.
In individual cases, the general terms and conditions included by the authorized service provider
may be applicable in addition to the general terms and conditions of Yiota Online Games.
After completion of the payment process or, in the case of a transfer,
after the receipt of the money in Yiota Online Games account,
Yiota Online Games shall credit the purchased features to the user's account.
The credit simultaneously represents that the user has accepted a contract from Yiota Online
Games regarding the purchase of available features.
In mobile games on the portals of individual business partners and in online
and mobile games that have been integrated into social networks,
the conclusion of the contract may deviate from the procedure described here.
In these cases, users will be informed on the specific procedure for concluding a contract.
The user acknowledges and agrees that all information provided as part of
a payment transaction (bank account, credit card number, etc.) is complete and correct.

recover further damages, and terminate services.
Should Yiota Online Games incur back charges or cancellation fees
at the fault of the user (including an inadequate account balance),
the user shall bear the costs incurred from this.
Users are held personally liable for any violation of a third party's rights.
Users agree to reimburse Yiota Online Games for all damages resulting
from the culpable non-observance of the obligations of these terms and conditions.
Users release Yiota Online Games from all eligible claims that other users
or third parties may file against Yiota Online Games due to a violation of their rights
by content posted by the user or due to a violation of other obligations.
Users shall assume the costs of Yiota Online Games legal defense,
including all court and legal fees.
This condition does not apply if the user is not responsible for the infringement.
Rules of Services and Liability
If Yiota Online Games provides the respective liability-causing service free of charge,
Yiota Online Games is liable only for malice and gross negligence.
In the case of non-gratuitous services,
Yiota Online Games liability is limited to cases of malice and gross negligence,
but unlimited in cases of personal injury.
In cases of slight negligence, however, Yiota Online Games will only be liable for a breach
of essential contractual obligations such as delay
or unavailability which Yiota Online Games is held responsible for.
In the case of a breach of an essential contractual obligation,
liability is limited to the typical contractual damages that Yiota Online Games
had to calculate upon conclusion of the contract due to the circumstances prevailing at this time.
"Essential contractual obligations", as previously stated,
are the obligations that may be relied upon by the user and that ensure that the contract
runs in accordance with its regulations and achieves the contractual aim.
Yiota Online Games assumes no liability for interruptions
within the network that are not the fault of Yiota Online Games.
Yiota Online Games is liable for a loss of data in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs
only if such a loss could not have been avoided by adequate backup measures taken by the user.
The liability limitations do not apply in cases of explicit guarantees made by Yiota Online Games,
in cases of malice, and for damages due to the loss of life, limb, or health.
Liability shall remain unaffected under the Product Liability Act.
Unless expressly stated otherwise for the respective online game, mobile game, or other service,
the contract for the use of the Yiota Online Games website, online games,
mobile games, and other services runs for an indefinite period.
The contract begins upon accreditation or activation of an account by Yiota Online Games.
The contract may be terminated by either party at any time with immediate effect,
provided that a temporary contract period has not been agreed.
Either party has the right to terminate the contract
for good cause without giving a period of notice.
"Good cause" constitutes if
a) a user has defaulted on payment of the fees, and does not pay despite reminders,
b) a behavior significantly affecting the game experience of other players is being displayed,
c) cheats, mods, and/or "hacks" as well as any other form of software, tools,
or scripts that alter the gaming experience
or the game mechanism of online or mobile games are being used,
d) third parties make use of a user's account,
unless the rules of the game allow for specific exceptions,
e) a user makes use of a third-party user account
or uses more than one user account per online game,
unless the rules of the game allow for specific exceptions,
f) a user uses virtual items being used in online
or mobile games outside of the online or mobile games,
attempts to buy or sell these virtual items for "real" money, or tries to trade them,
g) a user has sold, bought, or traded a user account, or
h) the user culpably violates laws that serve to protect other players or Yiota Online Games
i) the user deliberately violates these general terms and conditions,
additional governing provisions, and/or the rules of the game.
Termination must always be made in writing.
Terminations sent via email are considered to have been made in writing.
In the case of extended inactivity, Yiota Online Games is entitled to delete the inactive user account
after giving prior notice of this and only after at least 6 months of inactivity. Moreover,
