1. YOUR ACCOUNT
 

1. Am I eligible to create an account to use Think Tank Games Services?

- You must either be an adult or have permission from your parents or legal guardian.

To create an account and use Think Tank Games Services, you must: (i) be an adult; (ii) be an emancipated minor; or (iii) have valid parent or legal guardian consent to be bound by these Terms. If you’re not an adult or emancipated minor or don’t understand this section, please talk to your parents or legal guardian and ask for help. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor who creates an account with us, you and the minor accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. You are also responsible for all use of the account and compliance with these Terms by the minor, including all purchases made on the account. You may not create or use an account or use any of Think Tank Games Services on behalf of any other person or other legal entity or for a commercial purpose.

1.2. Do I need to provide my real name?

- Yes, always supply us with factually accurate and complete information.

1.3. I have many different email accounts. Does it matter which one I use to register my account?

- Yes, to be able to see our emails in case we contact you.

We send account, legal and service-related notices to the email address registered to your account. These notifications may be really important (e.g., a notification that we intend to terminate your account for inactivity) so you must keep the email address associated with your account current and (if we ask) verified.

1.4. Can I share or sell my account or login credentials? 

- No, when you create an account with us:

*You can’t share your account or Login Credentials with anyone.

*You can’t sell, transfer or allow any other person to access your account or Login Credentials, or offer to do so.

*You must keep your Login Credentials private.
 

Notify us immediately if you become aware of any breach of security, including any unauthorized account access or any loss, theft, or unauthorized use or disclosure of your Login Credentials or payment info so we can take appropriate steps. You are responsible for all losses (including the loss or use of Virtual Content) on your account where you have shared your Login Credentials or have failed to keep your account or Login Credentials secure.
 

2. ACCOUNT TERMINATION

2.1. How can my account be suspended or terminated? 

- If you break the rules, or any of the following options can be enforced depending on severity:
 

• You may terminate or suspend your account at any time by contacting us at support@thinktank-games.com
   

• Think Tank Games may terminate or suspend your account without notice to you if we reasonably determine, that:
   

• You have breached any part of these Terms (including the User Rules);
   

• Doing so would be in the best interests of our community or the Think Tank Games Services or is required for upholding a third party’s rights;
   

• We have stopped offering the Think Tank Games Services in your region (though we’ll normally post an advance notice on our website, app, or game if we plan to stop offering a material core feature of a game or all of the Think Tank Game Services in your region);
   

• You have failed to pay any fees you owe us (except in cases of our gross negligence or willful misconduct) or we have to refund someone due to unauthorized use of a payment made from your account; or
  You have (or we have reasonable grounds for suspecting that you have) made unauthorized use of someone else’s payment info.
   

We can make such determinations, with the assistance of automated systems and machine learning tools or by using other methods that we think are appropriate. If you think that we have made a mistake, please Contact Us with details and we will review your case, though we may suspend your account during our review. You can also challenge our determinations.

2.2. Will Think Tank Games maintain my account forever, even if I stop using it? 

- If you abandon your account for a very long period of time, we may terminate it after giving you notice and an opportunity to re-activate it.
 

If you do not use your account for a prolonged period of time, we reserve the right to take measures against your account, including suspension or termination. If we plan to take measures against your account based on a prolonged period of inactivity, we will let you know first (e.g., by email to the email address registered to your account) and give you ample opportunity to avoid such measures (e.g., deletion of your account).

2.3. What happens if Think Tank Games terminates my account? 

- You will be unable to play and you will lose access to any purchases including Game Currency and Virtual Goods.
 

If your account is terminated, you’ll no longer have access to your account, including any of the associated data or Virtual Content (including Game Currency) (though this does not limit or affect any rights you have under data or consumer protection laws). Where we terminate for a legitimate reason (e.g. where you have breached these Terms):
 

• You’ll not be entitled to any refunds and we’ll have no liability to you; and
   

• We also reserve the right to terminate any other accounts you may have created, as well as your access to any other Think Tank Games Services (also without any refunds or liability to you).
   

You understand and agree that using Think Tank Games Services comes with the risk that your account may be terminated or suspended in accordance with these Terms and that, whenever you use Think Tank Games Services, you’ll bear this risk in mind and always conduct yourself appropriately.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use and enjoy Think Tank Games Services (and any Virtual Content) for your individual, non-commercial, entertainment purposes only and expressly conditioned upon your compliance with these Terms. If we terminate your account, any license granted by us to you in the Think Tank Games Services and any Virtual Content ends immediately. Unless otherwise expressly authorized by us in a signed written contract, you may not sell, copy, exchange, loan, reverse engineer, decompile, derive source code from, translate, lease, grant a security interest in, transfer, publish, assign or otherwise distribute any of the Think Tank Games Services or any of Think Tank Games intellectual property, including any of our computer code or Virtual Content.

3.2. Can I do anything with Think Tank Games intellectual property?
 
- We reserve all the rights to our IP but do allow for non-commercial uses, such as fan art.
 

We (and our licensors) own and reserve all rights, title, and interest in and to Think Tank Games, and all data and content posted, generated, provided, or otherwise made available in or through the Think Tank Games Services, including, user accounts, computer code, titles, objects, artifacts, characters, character names, chat logs, game recordings and broadcasts, locations, location names, stories, dialogue, catchphrases, artwork, graphics, structural or landscape designs, animations, sounds, musical compositions and recordings, virtual goods, in-game currency, audio-visual effects, character likenesses, methods of operation and gameplay (collectively, “Game Content”). For clarity, Game Content includes Virtual Content. You can’t create any work of authorship based on the Game Content or Think Tank Games Services except as expressly permitted by us. For more info about what fan uses we currently permit.
 

You also agree that unless we grant you a license, in a written contract signed by us, you may never use any of our trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names, taglines, or trade dress. Any reproduction, redistribution, or modification of the Think Tank Games Services, or use of Think Tank Games Services not in accordance with these Terms, is expressly prohibited and may result in severe civil and/or criminal penalties.

4. VIRTUAL GOODS, GAME CURRENCY, AND PURCHASES

4.1. What is Virtual Content? 

- Virtual content includes game currency and virtual goods, such as hero skins, emotes, emojis, etc.

When using the Think Tank Games Services, we may provide you with opportunities to acquire a limited license to access virtual goods, such as champions, skins, emotes, etc., (“Virtual Goods”) and in-game currency (“Game Currency”), associated with your account (collectively, “Virtual Content”).
 

Game Currency may only be used for the specific game for which it was purchased unless we say otherwise at the time of purchase.

4.2. How do I get a “license” to access Virtual Content?

- Buy it, earn or receive it in-game.

We may provide you with various opportunities to acquire a limited license to access Game Currency or Virtual Content, including:
 

• Purchasing it (e.g., with a credit card);

• Earning it (e.g., by accomplishing game missions or tasks); or

• Receiving it (e.g., from another player as a gift or using crafting functionality).

4.3. Do I “own” the Virtual Content I unlock? 

- No. What you “unlock” is not the virtual good itself, but rather, a non-transferable limited license to access it.
 

You have no ownership or other property interest in any of the Virtual Content you unlock, regardless of how you acquired access to it. Virtual Content has no monetary value. You can’t transfer (unless we allow it in the functionality of the Think Tank Games Services) or redeem Virtual Content for any type of “real world” money. You can’t obtain any refunds for purchasing a license to access Virtual Content, except as expressly permitted by us. You can find our current content refund policy. When you obtain Virtual Content from us, what we are actually giving you is a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited right and license to use that Virtual Content only in connection with your use of the applicable Think Tank Games Services.
 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, you acknowledge and agree that you shall have no ownership or other property interest in your account and that all rights in and to your account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of Think Tank Games. You further acknowledge and agree that you have no title, ownership, or other proprietary interest in any Virtual Content, regardless of any consideration offered or paid in exchange. Furthermore, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence, or to the extent, these Terms say otherwise, Think Tank Games shall not be liable in any manner for the destruction, deletion, modification, impairment, hacking, or any other damage or loss of any kind caused to Virtual Content, including the deletion of Virtual Content upon the termination or expiration of your account or our reasonable changes to the Think Tank Games Services.

4.4. Will my Virtual Content always be available? 

- Not necessarily, in an effort to constantly improve Think Tank Games Services, improve our games and keep Think Tank Games Services, safe, fun, and secure, we have the right to delete, alter, move, remove, re-package, re-price, or transfer any and all Game Content, including Virtual Content, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you, and with no liability of any kind to you. For example, your Virtual Goods may (and likely will) evolve over time to improve Think Tank Games Services or for regulatory or legal reasons. If we decide to entirely retire certain Virtual Goods that you recently purchased, we will provide you with a replacement.

We won’t delete your Game Currency without notice (such as through posts on our website, app, or game) unless your account is terminated by us for a legitimate reason or by you under Section 2.1.1. We may sometimes change the purchasing power of Game Currency (for example, we might increase the number of Game Currency needed to purchase Virtual Goods, such as skins). We normally only do this in incremental steps but we’ll give you notice (such as through posts on our website, app, or game) if we plan to make changes that will significantly impact your Game Currency in a negative way. We don’t provide or guarantee, and expressly disclaim, any value, cash or otherwise, attributed to any data residing on servers we operate or control, including any Game Content or Virtual Content attributed to your account. If we allow the sale or transfer of your right to access certain Game Content or Virtual Content, it may only be conducted via services approved or provided by us, if any.
 

5. TAXES AND FEES

5.1. Is everything about the Think Tank Games Services free?

- No, some aspects of the Think Tank Games Services may require you to pay a fee, and you agree that you’ll provide accurate and complete payment info to us or the third-party payment provider used by us. You further agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred on your account. We may revise the pricing for any part of the Think Tank Games Services at any time. This can impact the purchasing power of your Game Currency, though we normally only do this in incremental steps. All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes due and payable. We may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement our fees and fee-billing methods, and such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting in these Terms or elsewhere on our websites, apps, or in our games. Except in cases of our gross negligence or willful misconduct, if you fail to pay any fees you owe to us or we have to refund someone due to unauthorized use of a payment made from your account, we may suspend or terminate your account. See "Account Termination" for more info.
 

Subject to applicable law, any applicable fees and other charges for fee-based services (including Game Currency) are payable in advance and aren’t refundable in whole or in part except as expressly provided in these Terms. Except in cases of Think Tank Games' gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or to the extent these Terms say otherwise, you’re fully liable for all charges to your account, including any unauthorized charges.

5.2. What are my responsibilities relating to Game Currency? 

- Pay applicable taxes; verify that all transactions with us are correct.
 

You’re solely responsible for paying any applicable taxes related to acquiring, using, or accessing Game Currency. Game Currency may be sold or issued by us in bundles and the price may vary depending on the amount you purchase and where you’re purchasing. As we feel it necessary, at our reasonable discretion (or as prescribed by law), we may limit the total amount of Game Currency that may be purchased for any one game or that may be held in your account in the aggregate. Additionally, the price and availability of Game Currency and Virtual Goods are subject to change. We may restrict how much Game Currency you can purchase and/or use based on your location as we have different approaches in different locations.
 

You should verify that the proper amount of Game Currency has been added to or deducted from your account during any given transaction. Please notify us immediately if you believe that a mistake has been made with respect to your Game Currency balance. We’ll investigate your claim, and in doing so, may request some additional info to verify it.
