2. Eligibility and Acceptance of the Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

You may use the App only if you meet the minimum age requirements under the laws applicable to your jurisdiction to use the App and, where applicable, to consent to the processing of your personal data. If you have not reached such age, you may use the App only with the consent or involvement of your parent or legal guardian, where required by applicable law.

If you do not meet the applicable eligibility requirements, you must not access or use the App.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the App if we reasonably believe that you do not satisfy the eligibility requirements set out in these Terms or have otherwise violated these Terms.

We may also suspend or terminate your access to the App, or delete or reset your Anonymous Player Profile, upon a reasonable request from your parent or legal guardian where we determine that such person is legally authorized to act on your behalf under applicable law.

3. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to download, install, access, and use the App solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.

This license does not transfer to you any ownership or other intellectual property rights in or to the App or any part thereof. All rights not expressly granted under these Terms are reserved by the Company and its licensors.

You may not, directly or indirectly:

• copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App
• distribute, sell, lease, rent, sublicense, assign, or otherwise commercially exploit the App or any part of it

Your license to use the App automatically terminates if you violate these Terms or if your access to the App is suspended or terminated by the Company.

4. Player Profiles, Accounts and Gameplay

The App does not require you to create a registered user account in order to access basic gameplay. When you first access the App, an Anonymous Player Profile may be automatically created and associated with your device.

You may have the option to create or sign into a registered account. A registered account may allow certain gameplay progress, Virtual Items, purchase-related entitlements, settings, and other game data to be associated with your account and restored when you sign in on a supported device.

If you choose to continue using the App without creating or signing into a registered account, certain information may remain associated only with your device or Anonymous Player Profile and may be lost if you uninstall the App, clear App data, reset, lose, or replace your device.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials and for activities conducted through your account. You must provide accurate information where required and must not allow another person to use your account in violation of these Terms.

Your player profile or account may include, among other things, your player nickname, gameplay progress, gameplay settings, Virtual Items, statistics, multiplayer identifiers, purchase-related entitlements, and other information necessary to provide and operate the App.

You are responsible for maintaining an appropriate player nickname. You may not use a nickname that:

• infringes the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity
• is unlawful, offensive, abusive, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate
• impersonates another person or entity or is intended to mislead other players; or
• otherwise violates these Terms or applicable law.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, replace, remove, or require you to change your nickname if we reasonably believe that it violates these Terms or may negatively affect the App or other users.

The App is an online multiplayer game. Certain features require an active Internet connection and the availability of third-party services. We do not guarantee that multiplayer functionality, matchmaking, game sessions, or other online features will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

From time to time, we may modify gameplay mechanics, characters, abilities, maps, matchmaking systems, game balance, rewards, progression systems, virtual items, or any other aspect of the App in order to improve gameplay, maintain security, comply with legal requirements, or for other legitimate business purposes.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we do not guarantee the continued availability of any particular game mode, feature, character, virtual item, reward, statistic, or gameplay progression.

You acknowledge that your gameplay progress, statistics, virtual items, and other gameplay-related data may change, become unavailable, or be lost due to updates, maintenance, technical issues, or other circumstances.

5. Virtual Items and In-App Purchases

The App may include virtual currencies, including Gems and Coins, characters, weapons, skins, rewards, Battle Passes, advertising-free features, special offers, bundles, consumable items, unlockable content, and other digital items or features (collectively, "Virtual Items").

Virtual Items may be purchased for real money, obtained using Virtual Currency, earned through gameplay, received as rewards, or otherwise made available within the App. The availability and methods of obtaining particular Virtual Items may vary.

Virtual Items and Virtual Currency are licensed, not sold, and are provided solely for use within the App for personal entertainment purposes. They have no real-world monetary value and may not be redeemed for money, exchanged for money or other items of real-world value, transferred between users, sold, or traded outside the App, except where expressly permitted by the Company or required by applicable law.

Certain Virtual Items or Virtual Currency may be consumable or may be used to acquire other Virtual Items. Other Virtual Items, such as characters, skins, or certain features, may remain available once unlocked, subject to these Terms and the technical limitations described below.

6. Advertisements

The App may display advertisements, promotional content, sponsored content, or other commercial communications provided by the Company or third-party advertising partners.

Certain advertisements may be optional and may provide in-game rewards, Virtual Items, or other benefits if you choose to view them.

Advertisements displayed in the App may be delivered, measured, or personalized by third-party advertising partners in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

The Company does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party advertisements or for any products, services, or content promoted by third parties through the App.

The availability, frequency, format, content, and any associated rewards of advertisements may be modified, limited, suspended, or discontinued by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

7. Acceptable Use

The Company reserves the right to investigate any suspected violation of these Terms and to take any action it considers appropriate, including restricting, suspending, or terminating access to the App.

8. Intellectual Property

Except for the limited license expressly granted under these Terms, nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership or other rights in or to the App or any part thereof.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, modify, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit any part of the App except as expressly permitted by these Terms or with the Company's prior written consent.

Any feedback, suggestions, ideas, proposals, or other comments you voluntarily provide regarding the App ("Feedback") may be used by the Company without restriction or obligation to compensate you, and you hereby grant the Company a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, distribute, and otherwise exploit such Feedback for any lawful purpose.

9. Third-Party Services and Platforms

The App may integrate with or rely upon Third-Party Services in order to provide certain functionality, including, without limitation, multiplayer features, analytics, advertising, crash reporting, remote configuration, content sharing, platform services, and other technical or operational capabilities.

Your use of certain features of the App may be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the applicable third-party providers. The Company encourages you to review such terms and policies where applicable.

The Company does not own or control Third-Party Services and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, is not responsible for their availability, security, functionality, content, acts, omissions, or practices.

The availability of certain features of the App may depend on Third-Party Services. The Company does not guarantee that any Third-Party Services will remain available, uninterrupted, compatible, or error-free.

The Company may, from time to time, update, modify, maintain, improve, suspend, or discontinue the App or any part of it, including its features, functionality, gameplay mechanics, game modes, characters, abilities, maps, matchmaking systems, progression systems, Virtual Items, rewards, content, or technical requirements.

Such changes may be made for various reasons, including to improve gameplay, maintain the security or stability of the App, comply with applicable law, address technical issues, prevent abuse or cheating, or support the Company's legitimate business interests.

The Company does not guarantee that any particular feature, game mode, Virtual Item, reward, or other content will remain available for any specific period of time.

From time to time, the App may be unavailable due to scheduled or emergency maintenance, technical issues, updates, third-party service interruptions, or other circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not be liable for any interruption, modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App or any part thereof.

11. Suspension and Termination
