GENERAL TERMS OF USE
1.Subject-Matter
1.GRANDRIMS (GRANDRIMS Ltd., registered office: UNIT 1603, 16TH FLOOR, THE L. PLAZA 367 - 375 QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL SHEUNG WAN HK, Hong Kong, 999077) provides users with an opportunity to play games and use related services (also jointly referred to hereinafter as “GRANDRIMS’s Services”) on various platforms on the Internet.
2.Any individual agreement reached with the user and any applicable GRANDRIMS Special Terms take priority. In all other respects, the following General Terms of Use apply when using games and services provided on the respective platform.
3.Any terms and conditions prescribed by the user are excluded.
4.APP’s may only be used on the platforms provided, via the access made available by GRANDRIMS, and in accordance with the applicable rules.
2.Contract Closure, Term
1.The contract between GRANDRIMS and the user on using one or more GRANDRIMS’s Services (referred to hereinafter as “License Agreement”) is brought about as soon as the user accepts these General Terms of Use on using one of GRANDRIMS’s app’s on a specific platform. In each case, a License Agreement is brought about for a single platform (e.g. a specific social network or operating system), and it may cover one or more app’s. Several License Agreements exist concurrently if the user use app’s from GRANDRIMS on different platforms. The user may not transfer the License Agreement or the content thereof, its account data and/or any related claims.
2.Any individual who is appropriate age on the effective date of the License Agreement may become a user. Minors may only conclude a License Agreement with the consent of a parent or guardian. The user must provide all the data required accurately and in full, and keep it up-to-date at all times. At any time GRANDRIMS is entitled to demand adequate proof of the user’s identity and age of majority or of consent from a parent or guardian, or to make using specific functions contingent upon such proof.
3.A License Agreement is concluded for an indefinite period. The user may terminate the License Agreement by deleting its account or the application. GRANDRIMS reserves the right to terminate the License Agreement and refuse GRANDRIMS’s Services to any user for any reason, in its sole discretion. GRANDRIMS reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without liability, to reject, omit or exclude any user for any reason at any time with or without notice to the user.
4.The right of both contractual partners to give extraordinary notice for important cause remains unaffected. An important cause shall be deemed the case if the user defaults in payment of any fee and still fails to pay despite being sent a reminder, or culpably commits any breach of duty that is more than merely insubstantial.
5.On termination of the License Agreement the user’s account is deleted, thus disabling access to GRANDRIMS’s Services. The user is not entitled to have deleted data restored, even on re-registering. The user is not entitled to any refund insofar as it has already made use of the services provided by GRANDRIMS (e.g. coins, virtual goods).
3.Content & Scope of License Agreement
1.Under the License Agreement, the user is authorized to put GRANDRIMS’s Services to personal use for a limited period in accordance with the respective terms stipulated. GRANDRIMS’s Services are put at the user’s disposal along with the available functions in each case; no right to have certain functions provided exists. GRANDRIMS is entitled at any time to alter content or functions (e.g. by way of patches, updates or modifications).
2.No warranty of any specific availability is given for GRANDRIMS’s Services. In particular, downtimes may be caused by technical problems beyond GRANDRIMS’s control. Maintenance work may impair availability; insofar as is possible, it shall be carried out paying consideration to users. In addition, unannounced maintenance measures may be necessary, such as in the event of unpredictable failures (e.g. due to attacks, viruses). No warranty can be given that the software used by GRANDRIMS is entirely devoid of errors. The user is not entitled to demand that GRANDRIMS’s Services be provided or kept in a given condition. User also understands and agrees that from time to time the GRANDRIMS Service hereunder may be inaccessible, unavailable or inoperable for any reason User understands and agrees that GRANDRIMS is not responsible for the functionality of any third-party
website or interface. Terms of the License Agreement are subject to GRANDRIMS’s Services. Failure to deliver because of technical difficulties does not represent a failure to meet the obligations of the License Agreement. GRANDRIMS reserves the right to discontinue offering any GRANDRIMS Service at any time.
3.GRANDRIMS’s Services may be fee-paying or free of charge. GRANDRIMS shall always draw adequate advance attention to fee-paying services.
4.By way of a fee-paying service, GRANDRIMS may offer certain units or virtual currencies (e.g. in the form of coins, GRANDRIMS cash or points) under a License Agreement or for individual games, which may be used accordingly depending on the agreed terms and the game’s setup. These units or virtual currencies constitute an element of the app and are thus of no monetary value. In particular, alterations to GRANDRIMS’s Services may result in changes in how they may be used. Trading or exchanging the units or virtual currencies into real money is excluded.
5.Under a License Agreement or for individual games, GRANDRIMS may also offer individual functions, add-ons, short cuts or virtual goods as a fee paying service. Some of these paid features may also be used in exchange for units or virtual currency (see 3.4 above); changing them back again is excluded in each case. The user may use a fee-paying feature in accordance with the terms agreed in each case. For the avoidance of doubt, the user is granted a non-exclusive right to use the respective function for a limited period. The limited period is either apparent from the nature of the respective feature, or otherwise ends on termination of the License Agreement.
6.Units pursuant to Item 3.4 or features pursuant to Item 3.5 are not transferable and may not be otherwise used elsewhere, unless this is permitted under the rules of the app. Transferral in exchange for financial advantages is inadmissible at all times.
7.Whenever units pursuant to Item 3.4 or features pursuant to Item 3.5 are provided by GRANDRIMS free of charge, the user may not derive any rights whatsoever there from. GRANDRIMS may therefore demand back or erase the units or features concerned at any time.
8.The user is only granted the right to use GRANDRIMS’s Services personally. GRANDRIMS retains all proprietary and other rights (including intellectual property rights) in GRANDRIMS’s Services. The user is not entitled to extend its scope of usage, to assign its license, License Agreement and account, to grant sub-licenses and/or to alter, pass on or sell GRANDRIMS’s Services or otherwise make them accessible to third parties.
