You may not sublicense, lease, lend, sell, gift, bequeath, trade, transfer or provide use or access to any Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency, except as expressly provided by Konami, and any such act or attempted act is prohibited and void. You shall not attempt to use or access any Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency that you have not personally licensed or acquired from us or from one of Konami’s approved third-party currency providers.

Such information may include your credit card number and its expiration date and billing address, and other information associated with proprietary payment methods.

Verification of information may be required prior to acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction.
6. Accounts and Passwords. You may be required to register in order to access certain Materials or areas of the Application or to purchase licenses to Virtual Goods. With respect to any such registration, we may refuse to grant you, and you may not use, a user name (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else; that may be construed as impersonating another person; that belongs to another person; that personally identifies you; that violates intellectual property or other rights of any person; that is offensive; or that we reject for any other reason in Konami’s sole discretion. You shall not hold more than one user name at any given time, and you may not register a user name on behalf of any other individual.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password you may use to access Materials or areas of the Application, and you are fully responsible for all interactions with the Application that occur in connection with your password or user name (including, without limitation, all Transactions, as defined above). You agree to immediately notify Konami of any unauthorized use of your password or user name or any other breach of security related to your account or to the Application, and to make reasonable efforts to remedy such breaches (including any breaches relating to known or suspected copyright infringement in connection with the Application), and to ensure that you “log off”/exit from your account with the Application (if applicable) at the end of each session.

Konami reserves the right to delete Saved Data that are not used for a long period of time.
8. Monitoring, Deleting and Blocking. Konami reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor and, in its sole discretion, to delete any materials and postings or to block (or request that Platformers block) users who have posted materials or acted in a manner, in each case, that Konami believes to violate Konami Terms or to be unsuitable for the Application. Konami’s decision not to pursue legal action for any violation of Konami Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of Konami Terms or of Konami’s legal rights.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Konami Terms or in the Application, you agree that you have no right or title to any Materials, including without limitation any Virtual Goods and/or “earned” or “purchased” Virtual Currency, and that such Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency do not constitute or represent any balance of real currency or other stored value or its equivalent. Konami reserves the right to terminate or suspend such licenses at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice to you. Konami shall not be required to provide refunds, benefits or other compensation to you in connection with such terminations or suspensions, except to the extent required by applicable law. You may not sublicense, lease, lend, sell, gift, bequeath, trade, transfer or provide use or access to any Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency, except as expressly provided by Konami, and any such act or attempted act is prohibited and void. You shall not attempt to use or access any Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency that you have not personally licensed or acquired from us or from one of Konami’s approved third-party currency providers. If you leave a balance of purchased Virtual Currency unused for a period of time or if we terminate or suspend your access to and/or use of the Application, we may process your balance in accordance with Konami’s legal obligations, including by submitting funds associated with your purchased Virtual Currency balance to the appropriate governing body where required by applicable law.
5. Purchase and Use of Virtual Currency. If you wish to purchase Virtual Currency made available by Konami through the Application (each such purchase, a "Transaction"), you may be asked to supply certain information relevant to your Transaction. Such information may include your credit card number and its expiration date and billing address, and other information associated with proprietary payment methods. The purchase and use of Virtual Currency are governed by terms and conditions of the “Virtual Currency Terms of Use” located in the Application. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT METHOD UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION AND THAT YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO SUCH PAYMENT METHODS, AND YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF YOUR PAYMENT METHODS BY MINORS. By submitting such information, you grant Konami the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating completion of Transactions initiated by you or on your behalf. Verification of information may be required prior to acknowledgment or completion of any Transaction.
6. Accounts and Passwords. You may be required to register in order to access certain Materials or areas of the Application or to purchase licenses to Virtual Goods. With respect to any such registration, we may refuse to grant you, and you may not use, a user name (or e-mail address) that is already being used by someone else; that may be construed as impersonating another person; that belongs to another person; that personally identifies you; that violates intellectual property or other rights of any person; that is offensive; or that we reject for any other reason in Konami’s sole discretion. You shall not hold more than one user name at any given time, and you may not register a user name on behalf of any other individual. You represent and warrant that all information you submit in connection with any registration (including without limitation information related to your identity) is accurate and complete, and that you have not been previously restricted from accessing or using any Konami website or other Konami Internet property or any Konami game or other application.
Your user name and password are for your personal use only, and not for use by any other person. You may not sublicense, lease, lend, sell, gift, bequeath, trade, transfer or provide use or access to any user names or passwords or associated account settings (including any game-related information), except as expressly provided by Konami, and any such act or attempted act is prohibited and void. You shall not attempt to use or access the Application with any user name or password that you did not personally register with Konami. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any password you may use to access Materials or areas of the Application, and you are fully responsible for all interactions with the Application that occur in connection with your password or user name (including, without limitation, all Transactions, as defined above). You agree to immediately notify Konami of any unauthorized use of your password or user name or any other breach of security related to your account or to the Application, and to make reasonable efforts to remedy such breaches (including any breaches relating to known or suspected copyright infringement in connection with the Application), and to ensure that you “log off”/exit from your account with the Application (if applicable) at the end of each session. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with any of the foregoing obligations.
7. Saving Data. Konami does not warrant that data and record of your use of the Application ("Saved Data") will be preserved without error, or will be read out without fail. You agree that you have been advised in advance that, in the event that Konami finds it necessary to maintain operations of the Application or if Konami determines in its sole discretion that it is against many users interest, Konami may add, modify or make changes (including deletion) to Saved Data without obtaining your prior approval. Konami reserves the right to delete Saved Data that are not used for a long period of time.
8. Monitoring, Deleting and Blocking. Konami reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor and, in its sole discretion, to delete any materials and postings or to block (or request that Platformers block) users who have posted materials or acted in a manner, in each case, that Konami believes to violate Konami Terms or to be unsuitable for the Application. Konami’s decision not to pursue legal action for any violation of Konami Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of Konami Terms or of Konami’s legal rights. Konami also reserves the right to disclose any posting, the circumstances surrounding its transmission, and the identity of the poster, including without limitation in order to operate the Application properly, to protect Konami, its affiliated companies and other Application users, and to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests.

By participating in any such Promotion, you agree to become subject to those rules, which may vary from terms and conditions set forth herein.
