ACCESS TO THE IN-GAME OBJECTS

At the request of the User, the Service Provider may provide the User with access to In-Game Objects.

In-Game Objects are part of the Game and are accessible only in case the User purchases them for the price set by the Service Provider, excluding the cases where the In-Game Objects are provided to the User by the Service Provider free of charge. The Service Provider unilaterally determines the types and content of In-Game Objects.

The In-Game Objects become visible in the Game if after payment of the price set by the Service Provider, or after the Service Provider provides them to the User in case, they are supplied free of charge.

The price for purchase of the In-Game Objects is determined by the Service Provider unilaterally and is specified in the Application Store or the internal store of the Game. The Service Provider can unilaterally change the price at any time without prior notice to the User.

Access to In-Game Objects is provided for a period established by the Service Provider unilaterally and may be terminated by the Service Provider without giving any reason and without refunding the money paid.

The Service Provider provides the User with access to In-Game Objects only if the User pays the price in full. At the same time, before receiving confirmation of payment in full, the Service Provider has the right not to provide the User with access to In-Game Objects, or provide them in a limited amount.

In case of problems with access to the purchased In-Game Objects, the User can contact the Service Provider’s support team at support@hypemasters.com or through the Service Provider’s social networks.


THE PAYMENT TERMS AND REFUNDS 

Payments are made by the User by transferring money in favour of the Service Provider via Application Store.
The Service Provider is not the person administering the Application Store monetary transactions. Purchases of the In-Game Objects are made via the Application Store and are subjects to the terms of the Application Store.

Refunds for purchases of In-Game Objects are governed by the terms of the Application Store and cannot be made by the Service Provider. In case the User wants to request a refund for a purchase of In-Game Objects, the User can contact the operator of the Application Store.

Purchase of In-Game Objects is the implementation of the User’s own will. All purchases made using the User’s Device are considered to be made by the User independently, regardless of who initiated the purchase using the Device. The Service Provider is not obliged to make a refund in cases where access to In-Game Objects was acquired using the User’s Device by another person without the User’s consent.

After activating the Promo Code, In-Game Objects specified in the Promo Code will become available in the User’s Account or in the Game if the User preferred to use the Game without an Account. Activation of the Promo Code in Game completely redeems it.

Promo Codes are valid for a year from the date of receipt by the User, if not specified otherwise by the Service Provider or the Service Provider’s partners. After this date, Promo Codes become invalid for activation and cannot be returned.
 
Promo Codes cannot be replenished by the User or exchanged for cash.

Promo Codes can be activated only in the Game. Promo Code does not give the User any rights in relation to other Game, software products or services of the Service Provider.

To activate Promo Codes effectively, the User may need to update the version of the Game installed on the Device. The Service Provider is not responsible for the cases when the User cannot activate the Promo Code due to failure to update the version of the Game or comply with other technical conditions for using the Game.
