HEALTH OF GAME USERS
PLAION advises you to take the following precautions in all cases when using a video game. Avoid playing if you are tired and/or short of sleep.

While using the game, take breaks of ten (10) to fifteen (15) minutes every hour.
EPILEPSY WARNING:
Some individuals are liable to have epileptic fits including, in certain cases, loss of consciousness, particularly when exposed to strong luminous stimulations (rapid succession of images or repetition of simple geometrical figures, flashes or exposures). Such individuals are exposed to risks of fits when they play certain video games containing such luminous stimulations; consult your doctor before any use. Parents must also pay particularly close attention to their children when they play video games. If you or your child present one of the following symptoms: dizziness, vision problems, contraction of the eyes or muscles, disorientation, involuntary movement or convulsions or momentary loss of consciousness, you must immediately stop playing and consult a doctor.
WARRANTY
Subject to section 18 below, because of its complex nature, software can never be expected to be completely error-free. Therefore, PLAION cannot guarantee that the contents of the Game will meet your expectations, and that the Game will run glitch-free under any possible conditions. Moreover, PLAION assumes no warranty for specific functions and results of this Game in excess of the current minimum standard of software technology at the time the Game was created. The same applies to the accuracy and/or completeness of the accompanying documentation.
Any form of strict liability is excluded in respect of malfunctions in the Game existing at the start of the service provision; i.e. PLAION is only liable insofar as PLAION or its vicarious agents is responsible for this. If the Game should be defective upon delivery so that, despite appropriate handling, it cannot be used for the intended purpose, PLAION will either amend the Game, deliver a new copy, or refund the purchase price within two (2) years of the date of purchase. This applies exclusively to the Game if directly purchased from PLAION.
To claim this warranty, you must send the purchased product, along with your proof of purchase and a description of the error to the following address: Technischer Dienst, c/o PLAION GmbH, Lochhamer Str. 9, D-82152 Planegg, Germany. PLAION assumes no further warranties for any direct or indirect damages resulting from the use of the product, unless these damages were caused through malicious intent or gross negligence, or such a warranty is compulsory by law.
In any case, the amount of the warranty is restricted to the purchase price of the Game. Under no circumstances will PLAION assume warranty for any unforeseeable or non-typical damages. Any claims you may have against the distributor where you purchased the Game are not affected by this.
PLAION assumes no warranty for damages incurred through inappropriate handling, in particular failure to comply with the instruction manual, incorrect initial operation, inappropriate treatment or unsuitable accessories, unless PLAION is responsible for such damages.

Parents must also pay particularly close attention to their children when they play video games. If you or your child present one of the following symptoms: dizziness, vision problems, contraction of the eyes or muscles, disorientation, involuntary movement or convulsions or momentary loss of consciousness, you must immediately stop playing and consult a doctor.
WARRANTY

PLAION assumes no further warranties for any direct or indirect damages resulting from the use of the product, unless these damages were caused through malicious intent or gross negligence, or such a warranty is compulsory by law.
In any case, the amount of the warranty is restricted to the purchase price of the Game. Under no circumstances will PLAION assume warranty for any unforeseeable or non-typical damages. Any claims you may have against the distributor where you purchased the Game are not affected by this.
PLAION assumes no warranty for damages incurred through inappropriate handling, in particular failure to comply with the instruction manual, incorrect initial operation, inappropriate treatment or unsuitable accessories, unless PLAION is responsible for such damages.
