If the Software allows you to purchase and/or earn though play a license to use Virtual Goods, the following additional terms and conditions apply:
Use of Virtual Goods
Virtual Goods are part of the Software and are owned by Roqovan and/or its licensors. Subject to the terms of and compliance with this Agreement, Roqovan hereby grants you the nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use Virtual Goods obtained by you for your personal non-commercial gameplay exclusively within the Software. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Virtual Goods obtained by you are licensed to you, and you hereby acknowledge that no title or ownership in or to Virtual Goods is being transferred or assigned hereunder. This Agreement should not be construed as a sale of any rights in Virtual Goods.
Virtual Goods do not have an equivalent real world value in real currency and do not act as a substitute for real currency. You acknowledge and agree that Roqovan may at any time revise or take action that impacts the perceived value of, or purchase price for, any Virtual Goods except as prohibited by applicable law. Virtual Goods do not incur fees for non-use; provided, however, that the license granted hereunder to Virtual Goods will terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Software documentation, when Roqovan ceases providing the Software, or this Agreement is otherwise terminated. Roqovan, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Goods and/or may distribute Virtual Goods with or without charge.
No Transferring of Virtual Goods
Any transferring, trading, selling, or exchanging of any Virtual Goods to anyone, other than in game play using the Software as expressly authorized by Roqovan (“Prohibited Transactions”), including, but not limited to, among other users of the Software, is not sanctioned by Roqovan and is strictly forbidden. Roqovan reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate, suspend, or modify your User Account and your Virtual Goods and terminate this Agreement if you engage in, assist in, or request any Prohibited Transactions. All users who participate in such activities do so at their own risk and hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Roqovan, its partners, licensors, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from such actions. You acknowledge that Roqovan may request that the applicable application store stop, suspend, terminate, discontinue, or reverse any Prohibited Transaction, regardless of when such Prohibited Transaction occurred (or has yet to occur) when it suspects or has evidence of fraud, violations of this Agreement, violations of any applicable law or regulation, or any intentional act designed to interfere or that otherwise has the effect of or may have the effect of intervening in any way with the operation of the Software. If we believe or have any reason to suspect that you have engaged in a Prohibited Transaction, you further agree that Roqovan may, in its sole discretion, restrict your access to your available Virtual Goods in your User Account or terminate or suspend your User Account and your rights to any Virtual Goods and other items associated with your User Account.
No Refund
All purchases of Paid Content and Virtual Goods are final and under no circumstances will such purchases be refundable, transferable, or exchangeable whether in part or in whole. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Roqovan has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, suspend, and/or eliminate such Paid Content and Virtual Goods as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and Roqovan shall have no liability to you or anyone else for the exercise of such rights.

While you may register for and you may, in some cases, be able to use some features of the Software for free, certain aspects of the Software, including fictional currency, items, abilities and other content (“Virtual Goods”) may be provided or purchased for a fee or other charge (“Paid Content”). In the event you elect to use such Paid Content, you agree to abide by the pricing, payment and billing policies applicable to such fees and charges, available at the point of purchase or otherwise posted on the Terms of Use, including any applicable sub-site thereto.

Neither this Agreement nor your Account entitles you to any Paid Content, Virtual Goods or similar ancillary products, without paying applicable charges.
If the Software allows you to purchase and/or earn though play a license to use Virtual Goods, the following additional terms and conditions apply:
Use of Virtual Goods
Virtual Goods are part of the Software and are owned by Roqovan and/or its licensors. Subject to the terms of and compliance with this Agreement, Roqovan hereby grants you the nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use Virtual Goods obtained by you for your personal non-commercial gameplay exclusively within the Software. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Virtual Goods obtained by you are licensed to you, and you hereby acknowledge that no title or ownership in or to Virtual Goods is being transferred or assigned hereunder. This Agreement should not be construed as a sale of any rights in Virtual Goods.
Virtual Goods do not have an equivalent real world value in real currency and do not act as a substitute for real currency. You acknowledge and agree that Roqovan may at any time revise or take action that impacts the perceived value of, or purchase price for, any Virtual Goods except as prohibited by applicable law. Virtual Goods do not incur fees for non-use; provided, however, that the license granted hereunder to Virtual Goods will terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Software documentation, when Roqovan ceases providing the Software, or this Agreement is otherwise terminated. Roqovan, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Goods and/or may distribute Virtual Goods with or without charge.
No Transferring of Virtual Goods
Any transferring, trading, selling, or exchanging of any Virtual Goods to anyone, other than in game play using the Software as expressly authorized by Roqovan (“Prohibited Transactions”), including, but not limited to, among other users of the Software, is not sanctioned by Roqovan and is strictly forbidden. Roqovan reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate, suspend, or modify your User Account and your Virtual Goods and terminate this Agreement if you engage in, assist in, or request any Prohibited Transactions. All users who participate in such activities do so at their own risk and hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Roqovan, its partners, licensors, affiliates, contractors, officers, directors, employees, and agents from all damages, losses and expenses arising directly or indirectly from such actions. You acknowledge that Roqovan may request that the applicable application store stop, suspend, terminate, discontinue, or reverse any Prohibited Transaction, regardless of when such Prohibited Transaction occurred (or has yet to occur) when it suspects or has evidence of fraud, violations of this Agreement, violations of any applicable law or regulation, or any intentional act designed to interfere or that otherwise has the effect of or may have the effect of intervening in any way with the operation of the Software. If we believe or have any reason to suspect that you have engaged in a Prohibited Transaction, you further agree that Roqovan may, in its sole discretion, restrict your access to your available Virtual Goods in your User Account or terminate or suspend your User Account and your rights to any Virtual Goods and other items associated with your User Account.
No Refund
All purchases of Paid Content and Virtual Goods are final and under no circumstances will such purchases be refundable, transferable, or exchangeable whether in part or in whole. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Roqovan has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, suspend, and/or eliminate such Paid Content and Virtual Goods as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and Roqovan shall have no liability to you or anyone else for the exercise of such rights.
