3. License and Use of the Services
3.1 Limited License
SVL owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to use all of the content that appears in the SVL Application, in the games, and on our websites, including software and artwork that appears within the games. You agree that you have no right to or title in any content that appears in the application or any other attributes associated with an Account, except for cryptocurrencies and crypto collectibles you own, such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) (collectively, “Assets”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Assets, while they remain in our inventory, may be subject to restriction (including but not limited to temporary suspension), change of value, or modification for the purpose of maintenance, updates, or other needs to improve the Services.
Subject to your agreement and continuing compliance with the Terms & Conditions, including the Policy, you may access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial, entertainment use only. The Services are licensed, not sold, to you on a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, and non-exclusive basis. You may not modify, copy (except for a single backup copy and transient copying required to operate the Services), distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, create derivative works from, adapt, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or make available the Services or any portion thereof. The license covers updates, expansions, and additional components provided by SVL.
Your license is automatically rescinded and terminated if you breach any provision of the Terms & Conditions or the Policy. In any event, we may, at any time, revoke the limited license granted to you in our sole discretion. We may also restrict your access to and use of the Services entirely or in part, as well as delete your account and any associated data, without incurring any liability to you. You may not be entitled to reimbursement for damages incurred by any loss of Assets, Virtual Goods (defined in section 6) or Game Currency (defined in section 6) in your account caused by prohibition of access to your account by the reason of the cancellation of the limited license or changes to our Services, or by any other reasons.
3.2 Service Limits Based on Where You Live
We may restrict, modify, or limit your access to and use of certain Content, Virtual Goods, an entire Game, or any or all of the Services depending on the territory in which you are located. Without limiting the foregoing, Content, Virtual Goods, entire Games, or the Services may not be available (in whole or in part) where you are located or may only be available in a modified version, if they do not comply with the laws which apply in your country.
4. Application
4.1 Account
Some of our Services require you to create an account with us. If you are not signed into your account, you might not be able to access some portions or features of the Services. You may create an account using a third-party account provided by a social identity provider such as Google or Apple. If you create your account using a third-party account, we may access certain personal information that this third party provides to us, such as your email address and name, to help create your account. Further information about use of third-party accounts is provided in the Privacy Policy.
You must not share your account information, login credentials, or private keys, nor let anyone else access your account or do anything else that might jeopardize its security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, including all types of purchases, whether or not authorized by you. You are fully responsible for anything that happens with and through the account. SVL reserves the right to remove or reclaim any usernames (such as user ID, character name, guild name, or any other display name used in the game) at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to claims by a third party that a user who uses the username violates or infringes upon the third party's rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the policy, you acknowledge and agree that you have no ownership or other property interest in your account, and you further acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to the account are and shall forever be owned by and inure to the benefit of SVL.
4.2 SuperVillain Inventory
When a user creates an account, we automatically create and grant an inventory that users can utilize within our services. This inventory functions as a storage facility for acquired assets, which may include NFTs and other digital items, used within our services. These assets may be recorded in our database or blockchain, and the inventory responsible for managing these assets belongs to SVL. You own the NFTs but are subject to certain restrictions as per Section 3.1.
When a user connects a third-party wallet, Assets not bound to SVL within their Inventory can be transferred to their wallet. Conversely, Assets issued by SVL can be added to the Inventory from an external wallet. When Assets created by SVL are imported into Inventory, we assume exclusive control of the Assets.
SVL reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or confiscate Assets within your Inventory or take action on your account if we reasonably determine that you are not in compliance with any aspect of our Policy. For further details, please refer to Section 6 and 7.
4.3 Wallet
After creating and logging into your account, if you possess a third-party wallet, you can link it to your account. Once linked, the services associated with that blockchain address will display the Assets. Additionally, you will have access to an interface that allows you to directly execute commands on the blockchain network, check balances of blockchain assets, and initiate transactions using assets compatible with the wallet.
Please note that SVL does not act as a wallet provider, exchange, broker, financial institution, money services business, or creditor. We do not have custody over or control over the Assets you are engaging with, and we do not execute or effectuate purchases, transfers, or sales of the Assets without your consent.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet and for anything that happens with and through your account and any associated wallet. SVL is not liable for any actions or inactions you take related to your account or as a result of your account's or wallet's compromise. If you have any issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider. If you discover or otherwise suspect any security issues related to the Service or your Account, you agree to contact our customer service team.
5. Game Service
5.1 Game Services
SVL may present and provide game services to you through the SVL Application. To play the game you must first create your own account. Within the game, account holders may purchase Virtual Goods (defined in section 6) and Game Currency (defined in section 6) with a real money (the “Fiat”) or cryptocurrencies. You may convert certain specified Virtual Goods into NFTs that can be used in the SVL Application or on the SVL Website.
5.2 Updates
SVL may provide you with updates as they become generally available at SVL’s sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that SVL may provide updates to you remotely and automatically, including, without limitation, by accessing the device on which you use the Services. Any updates provided or made available by SVL are part of the Services and will be subject to the Terms & Conditions.
6. Payment Terms
6.1 Paid Content
SVL may offer users paid content related to the Services, including digital items and digital assets such as Virtual Goods, Game Currency, and NFTs.
6.2 Virtual Goods and Game Currency
Virtual Goods and Game Currency are items that users can purchase within the game. Virtual Goods and Game Currency are not real-world currency or any other form of fiat.
- Purchasing or Obtaining Virtual Goods and Game Currency
Subject to applicable foreign exchange control regulations in your jurisdiction, we may offer certain upgrades and options within our Games or on the SVL Website that you can buy with real money or cryptocurrencies, including, but not limited to, in-game currency where permitted under applicable law (“Game Currency”), characters, character skins, mounts and vehicles, experience/gold boosts, gear, stat increase buffs, content access tickets, consumables, and other customizations for your in-game characters, and other such digital add-on items that may enhance your game experience in some way (“Virtual Goods”). Except as otherwise communicated to you within the functionality of the Game, Game Currency and Virtual Goods are not transferable from one game to another. You may also be able to obtain certain Virtual Goods and Game Currency without making a purchase, such as an in-game award. When you purchase Game Currency, Virtual Goods, or a game itself (each, a “Transaction”), your purchase will be made through the functionality available on the SVL website, the App Store, or other platforms we make available to you. Prior to making a Transaction, you should ensure that you fully understand the agreement that covers your Transaction, whether that agreement is this Terms & Conditions, an App Store Agreement or another payment platform agreement (like a third-party payment processor’s terms). There may be limits to the quantity and number of times you can purchase Virtual Goods, Game Currency, or other aspects of your Transaction. For example, there may be a maximum amount of Game Currency you are able to hold (in-game) or purchase at a given time, or a maximum number of Transactions you may make per day; these additional restrictions may be communicated to you via the functionality of the Services.
- Your License to Virtual Goods and Game Currency.
Virtual Goods and Game Currency are digital items and your use of them is governed by these Terms & Conditions and the App Store Agreement(s).
SVL may provide users with digital items for use within the Services, distinguishing between paid and free items. SVL reserves the right to determine the usage period and conditions for these digital items and will notify users by posting this information on the service usage guide or payment screen for each paid content. The policy regarding the usage period for paid content, unless otherwise specified, is as follows:
- Digital items can be used within one year from the purchase date. If not used within one year, these items may expire. For package items, opening the package is considered the start of usage.
- For items with a specified usage period, they can only be used within the designated timeframe.
- Paid items marked as “permanent” or without a specified usage period can be used as long as the game service continues, starting from the initiation of usage.
- If the usage period expires, the game service ends, or if your access to the game service is suspended, restricted, or terminated due to violations of current laws, intentional or gross negligence, you may lose the right to use the items.
- SVL may cancel, revoke, or otherwise prevent the use of Virtual Goods or Game Currency if we suspect any unauthorized or fraudulent activity and/or to correct any erroneous application of any Virtual Goods or Game Currency to your account.
- SVL may, with prior notice to you, change the functions of existing items or make them unusable due to changes in game content, balance adjustments, or item policies. However, in cases where change is necessary due to bug fixes, errors, or urgent updates, if the changes are not significant, or due to unavoidable circumstances such as server equipment failure or urgent security issues, notification may be provided afterwards. In such cases, if the usage period of a paid item has not expired and it becomes unusable, we will compensate with another paid item (or points) equivalent to the remaining usage period of the paid item.
If the digital items you own have both paid and free attributes, the paid content will be deducted first when you use a portion of them, followed by the free content. If the digital items you own have only paid attributes, the deduction order will follow the FIFO (First In, First Out) method, where the earliest acquired items are deducted first.
VIRTUAL GOODS AND GAME CURRENCY HAVE NO MONETARY VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. VIRTUAL GOODS AND GAME CURRENCY ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE AND NON-TRADABLE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND ARE NOT PROVIDED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES. Virtual Goods and Game Currency are licensed, not sold. Provided you comply with these Terms & Conditions and the App Store Agreement(s), we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to use any Virtual Goods or Game Currency you gain access to, whether purchased or otherwise obtained, solely in connection with your use of the game in question and within the game (unless we otherwise communicate to you that you may use them in multiple games) and for no other purpose. Unless expressly permitted by us in a specific Game, you may not trade any such Virtual Goods or Game Currency with others.
- Amendments to Game Currency and Virtual Goods
Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, we may, in our sole discretion, modify, substitute, replace, suspend, cancel, or eliminate any Game Currency or Virtual Goods, including your ability to access or use Game Currency or Virtual Goods, with prior notice but without liability to you. However, in cases where change is necessary due to bug fixes, errors, or urgent updates, if the changes are not significant, or due to unavoidable circumstances such as server equipment failure or urgent security issues, notification may be provided afterwards. This includes situations where we need to temporarily suspend the game for updates, address emergencies requiring us to disable our Services, or ultimately shut down a game for economic or other reasons due to a limited number of users continuing to use of the online Service over time. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WON’T ASSERT OR BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST US, OUR AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS (THE “COMPANY PARTIES”) RELATING TO (A) A CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE A PROPRIETARY INTEREST IN ANY GAME CURRENCY OR VIRTUAL GOODS; OR (B) A CLAIM FOR AN ALLEGED MONETARY VALUE OF GAME CURRENCY OR VIRTUAL GOODS LOST UPON (I) DELETION OR SUSPENSION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, (II) ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GAME THAT RESULT IN THE VALUE OF VIRTUAL GOODS OR GAME CURRENCY CHANGING, OR (III) MODIFICATION, TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS.
6.3 NFTs
- Purchasing or Obtaining NFTs
Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, we may offer NFTs issued by us through the SVL website that you can buy with real money or cryptocurrencies, including, but not limited to, character exchange vouchers, character summoning tickets, character skins, and membership qualifications that may improve your experience in some way. You may also be able to obtain certain NFTs without making a purchase, such as an in-game award. When you purchase NFTs, your purchase will be made through the functionality available through the SVL website or other platforms we make available to you. Prior to making a purchase, you should make sure you fully understand the agreement that covers your purchase, whether that agreement is these Terms & Conditions or another payment platform agreement (like a third-party payment processor’s terms).
You bear responsibility for verifying the legitimacy, authenticity, and legality of NFTs that you purchase from third-party sellers. We also cannot guarantee that any NFTs visible on any marketplaces will always remain visible and/or available to be bought, sold, or transferred. The buyer and seller are entirely responsible for communicating, promulgating, agreeing to, and enforcing their purchase terms.
- Your License to NFTs
Among the Services we provide, the digital assets based on blockchain take the form of a non-fungible token (an “NFT”), and your use of them is governed by these Terms & Conditions.
- We reserve the right to designate certain items within the provided Services as NFT content, and at our discretion, may change, add, or cancel the designated items at any time.
- Users acknowledge that we do not guarantee the value or permanence of existence of items designated as NFT.
- NFT items owned by users are part of or linked to our Services, and users agree that the value of NFT content may be affected by updates, changes, or termination of our Services.
- Any issues arising from the use of NFT content are the direct result of user actions, and we do not assume responsibility for them.
- Due to the inherent volatility of blockchain assets, we disclaim any liability or obligation related to damages arising from the value fluctuations of designated NFT content items in our possession.
- You are solely responsible for the management of NFT content items, and we do not assume responsibility for issues resulting from negligent management.
- Blockchain regulations and provisions are incomplete and uncertain, and new regulations and policies may affect blockchain-based content included in the services we provide.
- Amendments to NFTs
We may take the following actions under the condition that your NFTs are stored in the SVL inventory.
- We reserve the right to sever the connection of any specific NFT from the SVL services at any time.
- We may cancel, revoke, or otherwise prevent the use of NFTs if we suspect any unauthorized or fraudulent activity, and/or to correct any erroneous application of any Virtual Goods or Game Currency to your Account.
- In the case of "consumable" NFTs, we may, at your request, exchange the NFTs for certain in-game digital items, which will result in the NFTs being removed from your inventory.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU WON’T ASSERT OR BRING ANY CLAIM AGAINST US, OUR AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS (THE “COMPANY PARTIES”) RELATING TO A CLAIM FOR AN ALLEGED MONETARY VALUE OF NFT LOST UPON (I) DELETION OR SUSPENSION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, (II) ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GAME THAT RESULT IN THE VALUE OF NFT CHANGING, OR (III) MODIFICATION, TERMINATION, OR EXPIRATION OF THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS.
6.4 Amendments to Terms & Conditions
We may, from time to time, modify, amend, or supplement our fees, billing methods, and terms applicable to Game Currency, Virtual Goods, NFTs, or any purchases, and post those changes in these Terms & Conditions, in separate terms and conditions, or in other terms or agreements posted on the applicable website or as part of the Game, or otherwise provided to you by us. Except where prohibited by law in your jurisdiction, such modifications, amendments, supplements, or terms shall be effective immediately upon posting and shall be incorporated by reference into these Terms & Conditions. If any change is unacceptable to you, you may terminate the use of your Game Account at any time.
6.5 Cancellation of Purchase
Users who purchase paid content from SVL may cancel the purchase within 7 days without incurring any additional fees. If a purchase is canceled, the user will receive a refund in the same amount of the currency paid at the time of the transaction if paid in Fiat, and the same quantity of the cryptocurrency paid at the time of the transaction if paid in cryptocurrency.
However, users cannot cancel the purchase in the following cases:
- More than 7 days have passed since the purchase.
- The paid content has been lost or damaged due to reasons attributable to the user.
- The user has used, partially consumed, or transferred the following types of paid content to an external digital wallet service:
- Paid content that is used or applied immediately upon purchase.
- Paid content where additional benefits provided as part of the purchase have been used, partially consumed, or transferred to an external digital wallet service.
- Paid content that is considered to be used upon opening or that loses its utility upon opening, if the act of opening has occurred.
If the actual content of the paid content differs from what is indicated in the store or from the purchase agreement, you may cancel the purchase within 3 months from the purchase date or within 30 days from the date you became aware or could have become aware of the discrepancy, whichever comes first.
If you purchase paid content offered by SVL through third-party payment processors, you agree that SVL may verify your purchase details through those payment processors and provide them with the necessary information to support your cancellation request. Additionally, SVL may contact you using the information you provided to confirm your valid cancellation reason and may request additional evidence.
6.6 Refunds and Billing
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree and acknowledge that SVL is not required to provide a refund for any reason, and that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused Virtual Goods, Game Currency, and NFTs when an account is closed, whether such closure was voluntary or involuntary. You agree that you will never assert or bring any claim or suit against SVL, its licensors, third-party providers, or any employees thereof, which is related to or based on:
- a claim for the “value” of Virtual Goods, Game Currency, and NFTs if SVL deletes them (or suspends, deactivates, or terminates your account);
- a claim for the “value” of Virtual Goods, Game Currency, and NFTs that you may lose if SVL does anything that it is entitled to do pursuant to any policy provision; or
- a claim for any malfunctions and/or bugs in our Services;
Your purchase of Virtual Goods, Game Currency, and NFTs is final and is not refundable, exchangeable, or transferable, except in SVL's sole discretion, in cancellation as per Section 6.5, or as expressly required by applicable law. You agree to pay all fees, charges, and applicable taxes you incur. SVL may revise the pricing for the goods and services it licenses to you through the Services at any time. SVL shall have no liability to you or any third party in the event that SVL exercises such rights.
We may suspend or terminate your account if for any reason a charge you authorize us to make to your credit card or SMS/phone billing cannot be processed or is returned to us unpaid or refunded and, if such event occurs, you shall immediately remit to us payment for such charge through the use of another credit card or other payment mechanism. We are not responsible or liable for any credit card or bank-related charges or fees related to any of your transactions. We reserve the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any item or to refuse to provide you with any item. You may be required to verify your transaction information prior to our acceptance thereof.
6.7 Rights to the Assets and digital items
You understand that Virtual Goods, Game Currency, and NFTs are provided solely for your entertainment use, and that you have a limited license to use them under the SVL Policy, not an ownership interest in them (except NFTs). Any cryptocurrency or game currency balance shown in your account is not a financial or investment instrument of any kind and does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value at all, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. SVL is not liable for any value attributable to, fluctuations in, or loss in the value of the Virtual Goods, Game Currency, or NFTs.
SVL prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of Virtual Goods or Game Currency effectuated outside the Services, or the purported sale, gift, or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in the Services unless expressly authorized by SVL. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void and may subject your account to termination.
You can transfer the NFTs stored in your SVL inventory to a third-party digital wallet, marketplace, or cryptocurrency exchange. You acknowledge and agree that while you may own an NFT, the embedded intellectual property rights may be subject to certain licensing requirements, and SVL can only convey such rights to you as long as SVL holds a valid license to the intellectual property. If such a license terminates, SVL, and by extension you, may not have any rights to the embedded intellectual property in your owned NFTs, and the embedded intellectual property may be changed or removed at SVL's discretion.
You are free to trade your NFTs issued by SVL with other users through third-party products or services, such as digital wallets, marketplaces, and cryptocurrency exchanges. We do not own or control such third-party products or services that users may access, visit, or use. We do not have access to or control over payments or transactions occurring between users and these third-party products or services. We are not responsible for the actions or omissions of third parties, nor are we liable for any damages you may incur as a result of your transactions or other interactions with such third parties.
6.8 Blockchain Transaction Fees
When you purchase an NFT issued by SVL, transfer it from your SVL inventory to an external product or service, or bring it back from an external product or service to your SVL inventory, such delivery and receipt of any of your NFTs may be subject to network or transaction fees charged by the blockchain associated with the user-selected algorithm ("Blockchain Transaction Fees"), which may not be refunded. Blockchain Transaction Fees are paid to issue, record, verify, and process a transaction on the blockchain. Any withdrawal or transfer of NFTs is subject to Blockchain Transaction Fees. To withdraw or transfer NFTs, users will need to obtain tickets issued by SVL (if SVL decides to cover the Blockchain Transaction Fees), and the number of withdrawal or transfer may be subject to restrictions.
6.9 Other Third-Party Fees
Certain digital apps, app addresses, tools, and third-party software and devices used by you may also charge you a fee("Third-Party Fees"), including a per transaction or transfer fee, which may not be refunded. You are responsible for satisfying any such fee(s). You should note that you are responsible for managing the selection, use, rate and frequency of transactions or transfers to any such Third-Party Fees.
6.10 Sales Tax
When and where required, SVL or a third-party payment processor acting on behalf of SVL will collect sales tax on your behalf and remit payment to the applicable state government.
6.11 Purchase Through Payment Processors
If you pay by credit card or certain other payment instruments, you may be provided with a third-party interface (hereinafter "Payment Processor") to input, change, and update your payment information. The processing of payments may be subject to the terms, conditions, and policies of the Payment Processor(s), in addition to these Terms and Conditions. All user rights and privileges with respect to Payment Processor(s) are set out in the Payment Processor(s)' Terms of Service. SVL has no liability for Fiat transactions, liability for which rests with the Payment Processor(s). SVL is not a custodian for users' credit cards or certain other payment instruments and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of the Payment Processor(s).
You agree to pay SVL through the Payment Processor(s) all applicable fees, and you authorize SVL and the Payment Processor(s) to charge all sums, including all applicable taxes, to payment methods specified or linked to your account.
When you provide payment information to the Payment Processor(s), you represent that you are the authorized user of the card, PIN, key, or account associated with that payment, and you authorize SVL and the Payment Processor(s) to charge your credit card or process your payment with the chosen third-party payment processor for any payment, withdrawal, or fees incurred by you.
In the event of a chargeback, SVL may, in its sole discretion, temporarily or permanently close your account.
