Ankama offers its users free access to two tools that allow them to securely access an Account:
• the Ankama Shield feature; and
• the Ankama Authenticator mobile application.
Ankama may activate either of these two tools on your Account at any time. You may then deactivate it via your Account Management.
7.1 Ankama Shield
Ankama Shield is an account protection system available on the Launcher, in the game DOFUS, and on the Websites (hereinafter the "Shield"). The Shield is activated by default when an Account is created.
The Shield allows a "restricted mode" to be activated on an Account, which blocks access to Account Management and other game features (trading items, for example) in the event you have not logged in using a Shield-certified connection.
Thus, when logging in from a new computer or browser, the Shield will protect your Account by asking you for a security code that will be emailed to you.
We encourage you to consult the Support website (https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us/sections/200297533) to learn more about how the Shield works.
7.2 Ankama Authenticator
The Ankama Authenticator is a mobile application available on compatible mobile devices, allowing you to enhance the security of your Account (hereinafter the "Authenticator"). We encourage you to consult the "Ankama Authenticator" section on the Support website (https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us/articles/201070008-Installing-the-Authenticator-security-feature) to learn more about how the Authenticator works. A tutorial is also available in the application.
In order to activate this protection feature, you must:
• have a compatible mobile device;
• have a certified Account (see Article 4.4 hereof);
• have access to the email address linked to your Account; and
• know your secret answer.
Before you activate the Authenticator, you must make sure all the information provided for your Account is accurate. Otherwise, Ankama will not be able to help you if you encounter a problem when using the Authenticator.
Ankama does not guarantee that:
• the Authenticator is compatible with all mobile devices, even if the application is compatible with the operating system your device is running;
• the current Authenticator will always be compatible with the version of your operating system or with your device. In this case, Ankama will notify you by any means deemed necessary of any Authenticator updates that could lead to incompatibilities with certain versions of an operating system or certain devices.
Furthermore, Ankama does not guarantee that the Authenticator will function properly in the event that:
• your device's operating system changes;
• your device's operating system is modified (unlocked, jailbroken, rooted, etc.);
• your device's operating system has been updated;
• a pirated operating system is being used; or
• an operating system without a version recommended by Ankama is being used (to see the recommended versions: https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us/articles/201070008-Installing-the-Authenticator-security-feature).
Ankama cannot be held responsible if the Authenticator does not function properly due to any of these situations.

Ankama claims no right of ownership over the content of any messages you send via the Ankabox service. Ankama does not access your messages, except out of technical necessity to provide the messaging service. Ankama may carry out automatic operations across the entire Ankabox service in order to improve this service or the experience offered by any of the Games it publishes.
In order to ensure the quality of the Ankabox service, you undertake to respect the rules cited in this paragraph. If you do not respect these rules, Ankama reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time, to send you a warning, or to suspend or terminate your Account. Thus, it is expressly prohibited to:
• usurp the identity and/or the address of another person, and/or create false Accounts to send spam;
• use the Ankabox service to breach the rules of conduct referred to in Article 5.3 of the TOU, the legal rights of third parties (such as privacy rights and image reproduction rights) or to promote and/or encourage any illegal activity;
• send unsolicited messages to persons with whom you have no previous relationship;
• send any content that is illegal, defamatory, fraudulent, obscene or immoral, and/or whose aim is to contravene the TOU;
• transfer, without authorization, content protected by copyright or trademark which belongs to a third party without their authorization or that of their licensee;
• generally, use the Ankabox service for the purposes of harming the Company and/or any persons, and/or disrupting their peace.

In the event of a contradiction between these special conditions and Article 9 of the TOU, the special conditions shall prevail. The fact that a stipulation featuring in Article 9 of the TOU is not expressly mentioned in the special conditions does not mean that it contradicts the aforementioned Article 9.
9.1 Right of Use: Ankama allows you to acquire rights of use over Credits. The rights of use over Credits allow you to access content made available to you by Ankama on the Websites and/or Games. The content to which Ankama allows you access in exchange for Credits, including subscriptions, booster packs, services that can be used within certain Games and rights of use over virtual items, virtual figurines, virtual cards, cosmetic content, character skins, emotes, visual effects, dialogue, special effects, and chests over Kamas that can be used in the DOFUS game, is called the "Exchange Content".
Whatever the terminology used, Ankama only supplies a right of use over Credits and not a right of ownership, which you expressly acknowledge. You acknowledge that the Credits have no financial value in the real world and in no way constitute money or goods of any kind. The Credits may only be converted into Exchange Content. You are therefore strictly prohibited from exchanging them for real money or for goods and services other than Exchange Content. You must in no way transfer, sell, or otherwise exchange (or attempt to do so) the rights of use over Credits outside the Websites, Games and their rules. Ankama may remove Credits obtained outside the services approved by Ankama from your Account at any time, without prior warning.
9.2 Exchange Content: Ankama reserves the right to add and/or remove elements making up the Exchange Content and/or to modify their characteristics at any time without prior warning. Ankama also reserves the right to modify the quantity of Credits needed to purchase an element of the Exchange Content at any time, without prior warning.
Once you have converted your rights of use over Credits into Exchange Content, this content cannot be exchanged for rights of use over Credits or money, or for other goods or services. The exchange is firm and definitive.
Please note that certain elements that make up the Exchange Content may have an expiry date. In any case, as the Exchange Content is associated with your Account, you shall no longer have access to this content if your Account is closed, for whatever reason, without you being able to claim any damages of any kind whatsoever.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that some elements that make up the Exchange Content can be linked to your Account for a certain time and cannot therefore be the subject of an exchange with another player.
9.3 Duration: Unless otherwise specified (including if the rights of use over Ogrines have been obtained via the Kama Exchange), the duration of the rights of use over Credits starts on the day you obtain the Credits and ends on the earlier of the following two dates: (1) on the day your Account is closed, for whatever reason; or (2) at the end of the period provided for in the General Conditions of Sale applicable on the day you ordered the Credits, as appropriate.
9.4 Special Conditions of the Kama Exchange (applicable only to Ogrines in the DOFUS game): In the DOFUS game, rights of use of Kamas and rights of use of Ogrines may be exchanged on the Kama Exchange. The amount of the exchange is fixed freely by the players. The rights of use over Ogrines purchased in exchange for rights of use over Kamas cannot be the subject of an exchange with another player through the Kama Exchange. You can, however, benefit from all other services offered by the Company in exchange for rights of use over Ogrines, not involving other players. If you obtained your rights of use over Ogrines in exchange for rights of use over Kamas, the duration of the rights of use over these Ogrines begins on the day when the Ogrines are credited to your Account and ends on the earlier of the following two dates: (1) the day your Account is closed, for whatever reason; or (2) ninety (90) days after the Ogrines have been credited to your Account.

10.1 In the event of a violation of one or more provisions of the ToU or any other document incorporated by reference hereto, Ankama reserves the right to terminate or restrict, without prior notice and at its sole discretion, your use of and access to the Services, your Account, and any Ankama Websites, and to sanction you within the Games. Sanctions are specific to certain Services, notably the Games and the Forums. If there is a conflict with this article, the specific sanctions take precedence over the ToU.
10.2 The sanctions depend on the seriousness of the violation. These sanctions are as follows (non-exhaustive list):
• Removal of the ability to speak ("mute"): You will be temporarily unable to use the in-game chat function.
• Expulsion from the game ("kick"): You will be disconnected from the game and will be temporarily unable to access it.
• Warning: A warning does not have direct consequences on the Account. You may continue to use the Services with no change. Above all, a warning is meant to let you know that you risk more severe sanctions if you continue to violate the rules of the ToU.
• Temporary suspension: You will be unable to access your Account for several days. The duration depends on several criteria, namely the seriousness of the infraction committed and whether it is a repeat offense.
• Permanent suspension: The Account is permanently banned; you can no longer access it. This sanction is usually applied in instances of a repeat offense, or a serious (for example, payment without the consent of the holder of the payment method used) or unpardonable violation of the ToU.
• Kama debt: In the DOFUS game, this sanction applies to players who have collected Kamas in a manner that violates the ToU (to learn more: https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us/articles/203883193-The-Various-Types-of-Sanctions).
10.3 Ankama reserves the right to apply any sanction provided in the previous paragraph to an Account, depending on the seriousness of the violation, without the need to give a warning or apply a sanction of a shorter duration beforehand.
10.4 Ankama further reserves the right to change account names, nicknames, character names, guild names, and team names that do not abide by the rules set forth above, as well as those deemed by Ankama to be inappropriate. If necessary, Ankama may temporarily or permanently suspend access to the Account or delete a guild or team name, with no compensation provided.
10.5 Ankama reserves the right to permanently suspend all of your Accounts, depending on the seriousness of the violation.
10.6 In addition to the sanctions described above, Ankama may impose whatever sanctions are necessary, including initiating civil and criminal proceedings against the violator.
10.7 If Ankama observes suspicious or unusual behavior or actions on your Account that could result in a violation of the ToU, Ankama reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to lock your Account for as much time is needed to conduct verifications or an investigation. Ankama alone shall decide whether to compensate you in the event that your Account is locked.
10.8 If you have acquired, directly or indirectly, Game Elements fraudulently (for example, using vulnerabilities, bots, cheating techniques, theft, or auto-click software, or on websites selling Game Elements without Ankama's approval), Ankama reserves the right to access your Account and delete all or some of the elements in your possession.
Similarly, Ankama reserves the right to change any of your characteristics (for example, your level, characteristic points, and spell points) if there is evidence that you exploited a vulnerability or any other technique allowing you to increase your characteristics fraudulently.
10.9 Unless otherwise set forth in the ToU or save the Company's consent to the contrary, no refund will be issued if the Account is suspended prior to the end of the subscription period, if Credits are still available on the Account, or if you acquired a Starter Pack or virtual items.
10.10 Slandering, insulting, harassing, or threatening an Ankama staff member, representative, or moderator, or any other person associated or affiliated with Ankama or its partners or service providers, as well as harmful, violent, obscene, vulgar, hateful, or offensive remarks or behavior regarding such persons, or any violation of their privacy or their rights in any other way, may result in sanctions on your Account(s), regardless of the means of expression used.

11.1 The Support website (https://support.ankama.com/hc/en-us) is the preferred means of access to the Company's customer support department (hereinafter the "Support") for the Services. To create a request on the Support website, you must create an assistance account by providing, in particular, a valid email address. Your request will be saved in the form of a ticket (identified by a 7-digit number).
11.2 The Support will do everything to assist you as soon as possible. Nonetheless, Support reserves the right not to answer a request, in particular in the event of non-compliance with the rules of this Article.
11.3 Any harassment, threat, insult or other inadequate behavior with regard the Support advisers will lead to the processing being stopped and may give rise to sanctions in accordance with article 10.10.
11.4 Support provides assistance for problems having an impact on accessibility and/or the user-friendliness for the player but does not have the mission of answering problems linked to progress in the Games.
11.5 In the event of identity theft and/or falsification of documents and/or attempt of one or other of these infringements, Support reserves the right to sanction the Account(s) belonging to the fraudster.
11.6 If you suspect any breach of security, including loss, theft or unauthorized use of your IDs or any other problem related to the security of your Account, you will immediately notify Ankama via its Support team. Subject to proving your identity, Support may then reset your password or your secret answer, and offer solutions to improve the security of your Account. Support may also block access to the Account in question for the time needed to conduct an investigation. Following the investigation, Support will settle the dispute at its sole discretion.

12.1 Ankama will make every effort to ensure that the Services work properly and to provide the Services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
12.2 However, Ankama has only an obligation of means with regard to access to and use of the Services. Ankama cannot guarantee that the functions offered by the Services will always be available or free of typographical, technical, or other errors, that the mistakes will be corrected, nor that the Services or hosting servers are free of viruses or bugs. Ankama does not guarantee the availability of the Services at any time, in any place, or at a set time, nor the continuation of an offered Service during any specified period.
12.3 For the purposes of maintenance, testing, security, repairs, or any other reason related to the improvement and/or proper functioning of the Services, Ankama may temporarily disrupt said Services without being held liable in any way. Ankama alone shall decide whether to provide in-kind compensation in the event that Services are disrupted.
12.4 The Company shall not be held liable in instances of force majeure as permitted by law.
12.5 Ankama provides the Services as long as they are published. Ankama therefore reserves the right to stop publishing the Services and therefore terminate the Services, in which case you will be notified by every possible means. Ankama may also terminate the Services in the event that the company ceases operations.
12.6 Unless otherwise stipulated by law or special conditions expressly agreed to between Ankama and you, you acknowledge and accept that:

• Ankama cannot be held liable for your errors or omissions;
• Ankama shall in no event be forced to reimburse you for any amount in the event of a malfunction.
12.7 Likewise, with regard to links from web pages or elsewhere leading to the Services but not managed by Ankama, or links contained in the Services leading to web pages or elsewhere managed and published by third parties, Ankama cannot be held liable for their content should the third parties managing and publishing said content fail to comply with French, European, or international regulations.
12.8 Some countries do not allow exclusions or limitations of warranties. Therefore, the limitations or exclusions mentioned herein might not apply to you.
12.9 SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE PROVISIONS, IF THE COMPANY WERE TO BE DEEMED LIABLE REGARDING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, THE AMOUNT OF ANY COMPENSATION YOU MAY CLAIM WOULD BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE SERVICES WITHIN A PERIOD OF TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO YOUR CLAIM.
