5. No Warranty; No Liability for Damages; No Support; Character Data.
5.1 No Warranty. You acknowledge that the Software is a pre-release version and is not a final Product. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SOFTWARE MAY WELL CONTAIN ERRORS AND DEFECTS. THE SOFTWARE AND ANY LICENSED CODE OR MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE SOFTWARE, THE PRODUCT AND ALL OTHER SERVICES IS WITH YOU. SHOULD SUCH ASSETS PROVE DEFECTIVE FOLLOWING THEIR RECEIPT BY YOU, YOU AND NOT BONFIRE ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING OR REPAIR. Without limiting the foregoing, Bonfire does not ensure continuous, error-free, secure or virus-free operation of the Software, the Product, your account or continued operation or availability of any given server. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations as to how long an implied warranty lasts and/or exclusions or limitations of consequential damages, so the above limitations and/or exclusions of liability described herein may not apply to some participants. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights which vary in your jurisdiction.
5.2 No Liability for Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH BONFIRE, ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES, ITS LICENSORS AND LICENSEES, OR ITS OR THEIR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND/OR DIRECTORS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS TO STOP USING THE PRODUCT AND/OR SOFTWARE, AND TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT. IN NO EVENT SHALL BONFIRE, ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES, ITS LICENSORS, OR ITS OR THEIR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND/OR DIRECTORS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, DATA OR BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE PRODUCT OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ANY OF THE ABOVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no warranty is made that the Software will generate computer programs with the characteristics or specifications desired by you or that the Software will be error-free. THESE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 5 CONSTITUTE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
5.3 No Support. Bonfire does not provide any support for the Software, however, Bonfire may provide an e-mail address or a password-protected board or forum for you to send any questions and/or comments regarding the Software. Bonfire does not, however, make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy of any statements or advice provided in response to your e-mail(s) and/or board or forum posting(s).
5.4 Test Environment. You acknowledge that the Program is a test environment, that Product characters and/or game data will be frequently wiped or modified at Bonfire’s sole discretion, and that Program assets, characters, character data, items, Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods (as defined herein) may not be exported into the Product once the Product is commercially released. You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Bonfire is not liable for any loss of data, content, function or utility.
6. Virtual Property. The Software and/or Program may allow you to accumulate virtual, in-game tokens, such as coins ("Virtual Token(s)") or virtual, in-game digital items (“Virtual Goods”)(collectively, “Virtual Items”). You may also be able to purchase Virtual Token(s) with "real world" money. You may have the opportunity to use Virtual Token(s) to license a variety of Virtual Goods.
6.1 Regardless of how acquired, Virtual Items are non-transferable to another person or account, do not accrue interest, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Except for a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods in the Product and/or Software, you have no ownership right in or title to such Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods. Virtual Goods licensed with Virtual Token(s) will be available for use as soon as reasonably practicable. Bonfire makes no guarantee as to the nature, quality or value of the features of the Product, Software and/or Program that will be accessible through the use of the Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods.
6.2 You are solely responsible for verifying that the proper amount of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods have been added to or deducted from your account during any given transaction. Please notify Bonfire promptly if you believe that a mistake has been made with respect to your Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods.
6.3 Buying, selling and/or otherwise transferring Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods outside of the Product, Software and/or Program is strictly prohibited. Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods may have an expiration date. Free and/or promotional Virtual Items offered by Bonfire may be expired at Bonfire’s sole and absolute discretion at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE VIRTUAL TOKEN(S) AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS YOU ACQUIRE HAVE NO MONETARY VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR MONEY, GOODS, OR OTHER ITEMS OF MONETARY VALUE. NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR THE PURCHASE OF VIRTUAL TOKEN(S) AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS. YOU AGREE THAT BONFIRE IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY BACK FOR VIRTUAL TOKEN(S) AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLUNTARILY. No refunds will be made for purchases of Virtual Goods that are downloadable. Downloaded products or product registration codes purchased to activate or unlock downloaded software (including any Product(s)) are non-refundable at any time.
6.4 As Bonfire deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, Bonfire may limit the total amount of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods that may be purchased at any one time, and/or limit the total amount of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods that may be held in your account in the aggregate.
6.5 While Bonfire may endeavor to transfer any Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods you accumulate during the Program to your account in the commercial version of the Product, Bonfire makes no such guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonfire has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, and/or eliminate Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods, both in the Program and in the commercial version of the Product, as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and Bonfire shall have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights. Accordingly, price and availability of any Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods are subject to
change without notice. You acknowledge that Bonfire can and will, in its discretion, modify features, functions or abilities of any element of the Product or Virtual Items (which may, among other things, make the Virtual Items substantially more valuable, effective or functional, or less valuable, effective or functional, more common or less common, or eliminated entirely). Bonfire may revise the pricing for the Virtual Items offered, including without limitation, subscription plans for such Virtual Items, at any time.
6.6 In the event that your account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in Bonfire’s sole and absolute discretion, or if Bonfire discontinues offering the Product, Software and/or Program, you forfeit any and all Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods. Bonfire has no liability for "hacking" or loss of your Virtual Token(s) or Virtual Goods from your account, provided Bonfire uses reasonable efforts to replace such items under certain circumstances in its reasonable discretion. You promise, therefore, that you will never assert or bring any claim or suit against Bonfire and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, which is related to or based on a claim (i) for the "value" of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods if Bonfire deletes them (and/or terminates your Bonfire account(s)), (ii) for the "value" of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods that you may lose if Bonfire does anything that it is entitled to do pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, its Privacy Policy and/or Code of Conduct, or for any malfunctions and/or "bugs" in the Product, Software and/or Program, and/or (iii) that the "value" of any Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods has increased or decreased by virtue of any Product modification that Bonfire has made or will make.
6.7 If you leave a balance of Virtual Token(s) unused for a period of time set forth by your state, country, or other governing body in its unclaimed property laws, or if your account is closed, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, we may process your Virtual Token(s) balance in accordance with our legal obligations, including by submitting any funds associated with your Virtual Token(s) balance to the appropriate governing body where required by law.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement, other than the first sentence of Section 1.1 and Sections 1.4(a), 1.4(b) and 1.4(c), shall continue in full force and effect even after (i) the Program has been terminated and/or completed, and/or (ii) your participation in the Program has been terminated.

You hereby waive any claim that such venue is improper or inconvenient.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations as to how long an implied warranty lasts and/or exclusions or limitations of consequential damages, so the above limitations and/or exclusions of liability described herein may not apply to some participants. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights which vary in your jurisdiction.
5.2 No Liability for Damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH BONFIRE, ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES, ITS LICENSORS AND LICENSEES, OR ITS OR THEIR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND/OR DIRECTORS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IS TO STOP USING THE PRODUCT AND/OR SOFTWARE, AND TO CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT. IN NO EVENT SHALL BONFIRE, ITS AFFILIATED ENTITIES, ITS LICENSORS, OR ITS OR THEIR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND/OR DIRECTORS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, DATA OR BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE PRODUCT OR THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ANY OF THE ABOVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no warranty is made that the Software will generate computer programs with the characteristics or specifications desired by you or that the Software will be error-free. THESE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 5 CONSTITUTE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
5.3 No Support. Bonfire does not provide any support for the Software, however, Bonfire may provide an e-mail address or a password-protected board or forum for you to send any questions and/or comments regarding the Software. Bonfire does not, however, make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy of any statements or advice provided in response to your e-mail(s) and/or board or forum posting(s).
5.4 Test Environment. You acknowledge that the Program is a test environment, that Product characters and/or game data will be frequently wiped or modified at Bonfire’s sole discretion, and that Program assets, characters, character data, items, Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods (as defined herein) may not be exported into the Product once the Product is commercially released. You agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Bonfire is not liable for any loss of data, content, function or utility.
6. Virtual Property. The Software and/or Program may allow you to accumulate virtual, in-game tokens, such as coins ("Virtual Token(s)") or virtual, in-game digital items (“Virtual Goods”)(collectively, “Virtual Items”). You may also be able to purchase Virtual Token(s) with "real world" money. You may have the opportunity to use Virtual Token(s) to license a variety of Virtual Goods.
6.1 Regardless of how acquired, Virtual Items are non-transferable to another person or account, do not accrue interest, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Except for a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods in the Product and/or Software, you have no ownership right in or title to such Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods. Virtual Goods licensed with Virtual Token(s) will be available for use as soon as reasonably practicable. Bonfire makes no guarantee as to the nature, quality or value of the features of the Product, Software and/or Program that will be accessible through the use of the Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods.
6.2 You are solely responsible for verifying that the proper amount of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods have been added to or deducted from your account during any given transaction. Please notify Bonfire promptly if you believe that a mistake has been made with respect to your Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods.
6.3 Buying, selling and/or otherwise transferring Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods outside of the Product, Software and/or Program is strictly prohibited. Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods may have an expiration date. Free and/or promotional Virtual Items offered by Bonfire may be expired at Bonfire’s sole and absolute discretion at any time. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE VIRTUAL TOKEN(S) AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS YOU ACQUIRE HAVE NO MONETARY VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR MONEY, GOODS, OR OTHER ITEMS OF MONETARY VALUE. NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR THE PURCHASE OF VIRTUAL TOKEN(S) AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS. YOU AGREE THAT BONFIRE IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY BACK FOR VIRTUAL TOKEN(S) AND/OR VIRTUAL GOODS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER VOLUNTARILY OR INVOLUNTARILY. No refunds will be made for purchases of Virtual Goods that are downloadable. Downloaded products or product registration codes purchased to activate or unlock downloaded software (including any Product(s)) are non-refundable at any time.
6.4 As Bonfire deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, Bonfire may limit the total amount of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods that may be purchased at any one time, and/or limit the total amount of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods that may be held in your account in the aggregate.
6.5 While Bonfire may endeavor to transfer any Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods you accumulate during the Program to your account in the commercial version of the Product, Bonfire makes no such guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bonfire has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, and/or eliminate Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods, both in the Program and in the commercial version of the Product, as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and Bonfire shall have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights. Accordingly, price and availability of any Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods are subject to
change without notice. You acknowledge that Bonfire can and will, in its discretion, modify features, functions or abilities of any element of the Product or Virtual Items (which may, among other things, make the Virtual Items substantially more valuable, effective or functional, or less valuable, effective or functional, more common or less common, or eliminated entirely). Bonfire may revise the pricing for the Virtual Items offered, including without limitation, subscription plans for such Virtual Items, at any time.
6.6 In the event that your account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in Bonfire’s sole and absolute discretion, or if Bonfire discontinues offering the Product, Software and/or Program, you forfeit any and all Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods. Bonfire has no liability for "hacking" or loss of your Virtual Token(s) or Virtual Goods from your account, provided Bonfire uses reasonable efforts to replace such items under certain circumstances in its reasonable discretion. You promise, therefore, that you will never assert or bring any claim or suit against Bonfire and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives, which is related to or based on a claim (i) for the "value" of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods if Bonfire deletes them (and/or terminates your Bonfire account(s)), (ii) for the "value" of Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods that you may lose if Bonfire does anything that it is entitled to do pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, its Privacy Policy and/or Code of Conduct, or for any malfunctions and/or "bugs" in the Product, Software and/or Program, and/or (iii) that the "value" of any Virtual Token(s) and/or Virtual Goods has increased or decreased by virtue of any Product modification that Bonfire has made or will make.
6.7 If you leave a balance of Virtual Token(s) unused for a period of time set forth by your state, country, or other governing body in its unclaimed property laws, or if your account is closed, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, we may process your Virtual Token(s) balance in accordance with our legal obligations, including by submitting any funds associated with your Virtual Token(s) balance to the appropriate governing body where required by law.
