You can contact us by emailing us in writing to support@decagames.com

• Area of Application

• These terms of use (hereinafter the "Terms of Use") apply to all of the games provided by a company of Deca. Deca means the Deca Live Operations GmbH, Unter den Linden 21, 10117 Berlin, Germany and its subsidiaries. DECA GAMES EOOD, 15 Tsanko Tserkovski Str., Veliko Tarnovo 5000, Bulgaria is a subsidiary of Deca.
• The user’s contractual partner is the company, (i) which provides the game that the user makes use of, (ii) which is mentioned at the moment the contract is concluded and (iii) which is also mentioned in the legal notice of the website for the game in question (the respective company providing the respective Game hereinafter referred to as "Deca", "we", "us" and "our"). In these Terms of Use, the user of these Games is referred to as "User / Users” or “you”.
• “Games” or “Game”, for the purpose of these Terms of Use, are all of the online games, browser games, mobile games and any other digital offers of games for any end devices (e.g. PCs, smartphones, tablets, connected devices such as streaming or set-top boxes and smart TVs) and/or online platforms offered by Deca.
• The Games may also include, where necessary, any additional services such as the acquisition of Virtual Currency (subject to the provisions of Section 12), which can be exchanged for purchasing digital objects, downloadable content, additional packets, additional functions, server changes, in-game name changes or any other additional functions (jointly: “Premium Features”), purchasing subscriptions, purchasing virtual objects in exchange for real currency as well as other additional services, in particular communicating with other players (e.g. forums, chat, user profile pages rankings etc.).
• Deca objects to the validity of any general terms and conditions of Users. Any general terms and conditions of users become an integral part of the Agreement only if Deca provided its express consent to them in writing.
• Deca may arrange competitions, tournaments, sweepstakes and other special promotions within the Games. These may be subject to separate provisions that the user will be referred to, if required.
• Additional game rules, rules for use, participation requirements and communication rules (in these Terms of Use jointly referred to as “Game Rules") of the respective Games are published on its websites or in the Games. By your participation, you accept bindingly these Game Rules. If these Terms of Use and the Game Rules are contradictory, these Terms of Use supersede the Game Rules, unless the Game Rules provide specifically for a priority ranking toward the Terms of Use.
• Deca can utilize the services of independent third parties for the games (in these Terms of Use referred to as "Third Party Service") such as app stores. No Third Party Services are provided by third parties upon the instruction of Deca. Third Party Services are not provided by Deca. Deca or the third party will identify these services in a suitable manner. Any issues in connection with Third Party Services are not affected by these Terms of Use. Deca shall not be responsible for Third Party Services. Third Party Services are potentially subject to their providers' general terms and conditions. The user’s contractual partner for Third Party Services is the third-party provider in question.
• Applications for mobile devices (such as smartphones and tablets) and connected devices (together referred to as "Apps") are generally not directly provided by Deca but by a third party provider (hereinafter "App Store"). A separate user account of the User in the respective App Store may be necessary for this purpose. Game scores, high scores and achievements/accomplishments or in-app-purchases (jointly referred to as "Game Scores") are potentially tied to the Apps installed on the used mobile device or connected device and these cannot be transferred. When the User deletes the App and subsequently re-installs the App or changes the mobile device or the connected device and subsequently re-installs the App, the User has no claim against Deca for transferring the Game Scores to the other mobile device or connected device. Deca does not warrant that Game Scores achieved by playing on mobile data connections and/or mobile devices and/or connected devices are equivalent. In particular, graphic quality, sound quality and response times of a Game may be worse than playing via stationary data connections and/or stationary terminal devices. Certain functions and contents may not be available.
• By clicking the "Accept" button when you register for an Account to use any of our Games, and/or clicking the "Accept" button when prompted when you first log in to indicating your acceptance when they are presented to you, you agree that these Terms of Use shall bind you legally. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use, you must not use the respective Game.
• We offer the Games only to consumers and your use is limited to non-commercial purposes. It is prohibited to use our Games for commercial purposes. Any participation in a Game is for entertainment purposes only.
• We recommend that you keep a copy of these Terms of Use for your future reference.

• Changes to these Terms

• We reserve the right to change or expand these Terms of Use at any time effective in the future, provided it seems necessary and it does not affect you and/or your rights adversely under the principle of equity and good faith. In particular, any changes in the legal environment may require a change of these Terms of Use. Moreover, any new court decisions constitute a change in the legal situation. Any changes and advancements of our Games may necessitate a change or an amendment to these Terms of Use.
• Any change or amendment will be announced in a suitable manner prior to its effective date. In general, the information about the modification of the Terms of Use is announced by e-mail or on the websites of our Games or in our Games but in any case, the next time you log into your account.
• You have the right to object to any change or amendment after the date of publication and possibility of acknowledgment. In case of a objection, both Parties are entitled to an extraordinary right to terminate the Agreement in accordance with the termination provisions specified in this Agreement. Other rights to terminate shall be unaffected thereby. If you do not object within the objection period or if you continue to use a Game, then the change or amendment is deemed accepted and becomes an integral element of the Agreement.
• We will inform you specifically of the changes in the Terms of Use and the possibility to object and cancel, of the deadline and the legal consequences, particularly the consequences of non-objection.

• Users eligible to participate and Minimum Age Requirements

• As soon as an underage User uses his/her Account after having become an adult, then all contracts concluded before becoming an adult in connection with his/her Account shall be deemed to have been approved.
• We are entitled to request at any time written proof of your legal age or the written consent of your legal guardian.

• Accounts / Conclusion of Agreement

• In order to use a Game, you must register for an account with us (the "Account") and provide certain information about yourself as prompted by the Account registration form. You agree that you have no ownership or proprietary interest in your Account.
• The registration information you submit must be truthful, accurate and complete. If for any reason any information you submit becomes untruthful, inaccurate and/or incomplete, you agree that you will update that information on your Account. If any information you provide is or becomes untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, Deca has the right to terminate your access to and use of your Account and the Deca Service. Deca is entitled but not obliged to verify the accuracy of your information. This may be done by Deca requesting documents to prove your identity such as a personal ID card. Deca is entitled to make the creation of an Account subject to such verification.
• By sending your registration, you send an offer to conclude a user agreement with us (in these Terms of Use referred to as "User Application”). However, this does not conclude an agreement. The Agreement is only concluded upon our acceptance of the User Application. Deca confirms access to the User Application by sending an electronic mail to the e-mail address specified by the User. The confirmation of receipt is not an acceptance of the User Application. The acceptance of the User Application can be made in connection with the confirmation of access if expressly carried out that way. In addition, the acceptance can be expressly confirmed outside the confirmation of receipt or by the first deed of performance by us. There is no entitlement to the conclusion of an agreement to establish an Account, to the participation in Games or to the use of Virtual Currency or Premium Features.
• You can delete your Account at any time, for any reason, by emailing us at privacy@decagames.com with the subject "Close My Account".
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account log-in information, including your username and password. You must not share your Account log-in information with any third party. Accordingly, you are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account or through the use of your username and password, including any purchase of Virtual Currency, whether or not authorized by you or without your knowledge.
• You are responsible for ensuring that any username you select does not infringe any third-party rights or is unlawful. Your selection and use of a particular username do not give you any ownership or rights in that username. Deca may refuse to grant you a username in its sole discretion for any reason, including, without limitation, if it is illegal or offensive, if it impersonates or implies an association with another person.
• You must promptly change your password and notify us via the support center at https://support.decagames.com if you suspect or become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security.
• You may not use anyone else's account or permit anyone else to use your Account for any reason, at any time. You agree that Deca will not be liable to you for any loss you may incur as a result of someone else using your Account. You also agree that you will be liable for any loss that Deca or any third party may incur as a result of someone else using your Account caused by a culpable act or failure to act of you.
• You agree to pay all fees for the purchase of Virtual Currency and/or Premium Features (hereinafter “Fees”) incurred by your Account, including any applicable taxes. You agree that Deca may amend the Fees payable for the Deca Service and may add new products and services for additional Fees and charges at any time in its sole discretion. You agree that there are no refunds for payments made through your Account.
• You are prohibited from transferring your Account to third parties without our prior written consent. Any transfer consent of us does not entitle to transfer the Account for a remuneration provided this has not been expressly permitted in the consent. The same applies to individual characters/game figures/avatars, which you have created within our Games.
• If you violated culpably your contractual duties of these Terms of Use, then Deca is entitled to block the access to your Account temporarily after prior warning letter (at least via e-mail or game chat) and the threat of blocking the Account. By blocking the Account, you lose access to your Account. Any warning threatening to block the Account can be foregone, if there are special circumstances that justify the immediate block of the access in consideration of mutual interests. The provisions of this Section 4.11 do not limit the termination right of Deca – particularly the right to terminate effective immediately – in accordance with Section 16. In addition, they do not limit the right of Deca to exercise the virtual domiciliary right.

  If you cancel this Agreement, we must immediately refund all payments to you, which we have received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of the additional costs resulting from you choosing a delivery method other than the most economical standard delivery option) no later than within fourteen days from the day on which we received your notification of cancelling the Agreement. We shall use the same payment method for the refund that you yourself used when making the original payment unless anything else was explicitly agreed with you to the contrary. You will not be charged under any circumstances for the refund.

• Premature lapsing of the cancellation right

  Your cancellation right shall lapse prematurely in the case of a contract for the delivery of digital content not physically located on a data medium if you have explicitly agreed to us carrying out the contract before the expiry of the cancellation period and if you have consciously acknowledged that you will lose your cancellation right when the contract starts.
