4. ACCOUNT AND SECURITY

You may be able to use your user account and/or user ID of the website on which the Services are made available as your user account for that particular Services. If any of the Services require you to open an account directly with us, you must complete the registration process by providing current, complete and accurate information about you (including, if required, your email address) as prompted by the applicable registration form. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, you represent that your legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to the Terms. Please understand that the Services are not geared toward children under the age of 13. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information (including usernames, passwords, and billing information) and are responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account.

5. USER CONTENTS

"User Contents" mean any communications, images, sounds, and all the material, data, and information that you upload or transmit the Services, or that other users upload or transmit, including without limitation any chat text.

Our Services may include virtual currencies such as coins and virtual items that you can buy from us for real money if you are at least 18 years old. If you are under the age of 18, you may use payments only with the involvement of your parent or guardian.

However, we shall be reimbursed in our sole discretion if your claim has been raised from the damage of loss during the transaction.

7. LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES

We may contain links on the Services to third party websites or vendors such as Trial Pay who may invite you to participate in a promotional offer in return for receiving an optional component of the Services and/or upgrades (such as in-game currency). Some of these web sites may charge separate fees, which are not included in any fees that you may pay to us. Because we cannot control the activities of the third party on its site, we cannot guarantee that the third party will adhere to the same Terms as Playdog Soft. We are in no way responsible for the Terms of the third party to which you chose to access from the Services. Please be sure to read the Privacy Policies and Terms of Services of any other service provider from whom you request services.

You may, as the result of suspension and/or termination, lose your account and all information and data associated therewith, including without limitation your Virtual Currency and Virtual Items, as applicable. We also reserve the right to stop offering and/or supporting the part or all of the Services at any time either permanently or temporarily, at which point your license to use the Services or a part thereof will be automatically terminated or suspended. In such event, we shall not be required to provide refunds, benefits or other compensation to users in connection with such discontinued elements of the Services.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Playdog Soft from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs, arising out of your use of the Services and/or your breach or alleged breach of any term, condition, obligation, representation or warranty in these Terms.
