9.4. Upon termination of this EULA, your rights to access and use the Game, including any licenses and access to Virtual Items, user data, points, character progress, and any other information of any kind related to the Game, will terminate immediately, and you must cease all use of the Game. In the event the Game is terminated, you must destroy all copies of the Game and all of its component parts.

10. PRIVACY. BNEE respects your privacy rights. Any personal information supplied by you to BNEE online or via any BNEE controlled website will be subject to the privacy policy posted at http://www.bandainamcoent.eu/privacy-policy. Notwithstanding what is stated in the privacy policy, if you use any online services, such as online play or the downloading and uploading of content, BNEE and its affiliates may also collect, use, store, transmit and publicly display statistical data regarding game play (including scores, leaderboards and achievements), or identify content that is created and shared by you with other players.
11. INJUNCTION. Because BNEE would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this agreement were not specifically enforced, you agree that BNEE and/or its licensors shall be entitled, without bond, other security or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this agreement, in addition to such other remedies as BNEE may otherwise have under applicable laws.
12. INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold BNEE, its licensors and each of their respective partners, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from your acts and omissions to act in using the Game pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
13. APPLICABLE LAW AND JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of France. Any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement, which cannot be settled amicably after reasonable efforts, shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Commercial Court of Lyon.
14. MISCELLANEOUS. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. BNEE’s failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or your rights hereunder, and any attempt to the contrary is void. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between BNEE and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.
15. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER TERMS OF USE. This EULA applies to all online service, content, Games, and products, and may be incorporated in to additional Game-specific terms of use.
