Do Not Track is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the Do Not Track signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting them not to track the user. At this time, we do not respond to Do Not Track browser settings or signals. For information about Do Not Track, please visit: www.allaboutdnt.org.

If we cannot verify your request, we may ask you for additional information to help us verify your request.

California residents will be required to submit data so that we can verify the request. Please provide as much of the requested information as possible to help us verify the request. We will use the information received in a request only for the purposes of responding to the request.

5. Payment Methods, Charges, and Subscriptions Billing
Payment methods may vary by Service – in some cases, you can use a stored value (gift card), credit or debit card, PayPal, or other similar methods of payment to pay for optional Services and/or upgrades. When you provide payment information to us (or our designated service providers or subcontractors), you represent and warrant that the information provided is accurate and that you are the authorized user of the payment method that is used to pay such charges. As applicable, you must notify us of any changes to your payment information. You are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that uses your account, including your family or friends.

Ignis Studios, LLC reserves the right to change its fees or billing methods. If you pay a periodic subscription fee for an Ignis Studios, LLC Service, including the Subscription Service, as further described below, Ignis Studios, LLC will provide you with notice of any changes to the fees or billing methods in advance of their effective date by posting such changes on the Site or by sending you a notice to your email address. However, if you have a current subscription at the time that any new or revised fees take effect, such fees will only apply to your subscription if and when your subscription is renewed. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may cancel your subscription pursuant to the cancellation terms provided in the notice. If you do not cancel your subscription in accordance with the provided cancellation terms, Ignis Studios, LLC will not refund any fees that may have accrued to your account and will not prorate fees for any subscription. If your use of the Services is subject to use or sales tax, then Ignis Studios, LLC may also charge you for any such taxes, in addition to the subscription or other applicable fees.

As the account holder, you are responsible for all charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all purchases made by you or anyone that uses your account, including your family or friends.

All sales final. No refunds on purchases.

6. Order Acceptance
Please note that there may be certain orders that we are unable to accept and must cancel. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. For your convenience, you will not be charged until your payment method is authorized, the order information is verified for accuracy, and your order is delivered. Some situations that may result in your order being canceled include inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information or problems identified by our credit and fraud avoidance group. We may also require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. We may contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is canceled after your credit card or payment method has been charged, we will issue a credit to your card or payment method in the amount of the charge.

7. Taxes
If your use of Services is subject to use or sales tax, then Ignis Studios, LLC may also charge you for any such taxes, in addition to the subscription or other fees.

8. Subscriptions and Automatic Renewal Terms
Ignis Studios, LLC may offer an automatically renewing subscription-based service that allows you to access additional in-game features for the agreed-upon period (the “Subscription Service”). By registering for the Subscription Service, the valid credit card number or other payment methods which you have provided to Ignis Studios, LLC will be charged the entire amount equivalent to the advertised price for the period to which you have agreed. By signing up for the Subscription Service, you agree that your subscription will be automatically renewed. The renewed subscription period will be the same as your initial subscription period. You hereby authorize Ignis Studios, LLC to charge your credit card or other payment method (the same payment method that you used to initially subscribe to the Subscription Service) for the renewal term for a fee no greater than Ignis Studios, LLC ‘s then-current price, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless you cancel your subscription. You are financially responsible for all associated Subscription Service fees until notice of cancellation is received by Ignis Studios, LLC pursuant to the instructions below. Subscriptions are not transferable.

9. Content Rights
“Content” means the software, communications, images, sounds, and all the material and information perceived or made available from the Services, whether provided by Ignis Studios, LLC or by users of the Services. Content also includes any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may provide regarding the Services, other Content, or the Site, including any responses provided through user surveys.

You acknowledge and agree that all Content, including, without limitation, all accounts, characters created, and virtual items or in-game currency (“Virtual Items”) acquired and developed as a result of gameplay, are the sole and exclusive property of Ignis Studios, LLC and may be used by Ignis Studios, LLC (and/or its affiliates, publishing partners, distributors, licensors and licensees) for any purpose, including for commercial or promotional use. This means that your “purchase” of the Virtual Item is, in fact, a purchase of a limited, non-assignable license to use software that manifests itself in a game as the Virtual Item. Virtual Items have no real-world value and are not redeemable or subject to refund.

You agree that you may only upload or otherwise transmit on or through the Services Content that does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party, and you represent and warrant that any Content you do transmit will not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

If you are deemed to have retained, under applicable law, any right, title or interest in or to any portion of the Content, you agree to and hereby do assign solely and exclusively to Ignis Studios, LLC all of your right, title and interest in and to such Content, without additional consideration, under applicable patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and other similar laws or rights, in perpetuity. If such assignment is ineffective under applicable law, you hereby grant to Ignis Studios, LLC the sole and exclusive, irrevocable, sub-licensable, transferable, worldwide, royalty-free license to reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, publish, distribute, sell, transfer, transmit, publicly display, use, and practice such Content, and to incorporate the same in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, you hereby waive any moral rights or rights of publicity or privacy you may have in such Content.

You are granted a limited revocable license to post your own character or any other Content that Ignis Studios, LLC specifically gives you notice may be posted on other websites, on your own personal website or on a third party website so long as the website where the link resides complies with all applicable laws, does not obtain any rights to such Content other than a non-exclusive license to post it at your direction, and does not in any way infringe the rights of a third party.

Ignis Studios, LLC representatives may monitor certain Content on the Services, but cannot monitor or prescreen all of the Content on the Services, and do not attempt to do so. Ignis Studios, LLC and its designees have the right, but not the obligation, to edit, refuse to post, or remove any Content posted on any Services that are deemed objectionable or violate these Terms or the spirit of these Terms, in our sole discretion and determination. If you encounter something you find objectionable and in violation of these Terms, you can bring it to our attention by “flagging” it or reporting it via the in-game support system. We do not assume any responsibility or liability for Content that is generated by users of the Services. You bear the entire risk of the completeness, accuracy or usefulness of Content found on the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that Ignis Studios, LLC may use built-in tracking features to obtain information regarding your use of the Game, and agree that such information is deemed to be Content for all purposes under these Terms.

10. Termination
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account or your access to any or all of the Services at any time, for any reason and we have the right to terminate your account for what is, in our sole discretion and determination, deemed to be a violation or breach of these Terms of Service.
