unless you want to pay the Admission Fee for permission to play the premium
game resource, where you will be given access to game points and/or game
currency and/or game items etc. (“Premium Game Resource”). (a) Promotion Program (b) Pay the Admission Fee for permission to play the Premium Game
Resource If you select to play a Free Game Resource or Premium Game Resource
(collectively, the “Game Resource”), you agree that you have understood how
the Game Resource is used in the UGAMEHOME Games and are fully responsible
for all the consequences related to the use or transfer of such Game
Resource. Notwithstanding the terminology that you “buy” or “earn” or “win” or
“take possession of” any Game Resource or that we have “delivered” to you any
Game Resource including without limitation any virtual game currency or other
similar terminology, you acknowledge that you do not actually own the virtual
game items or any credit balance in real currency or its equivalent and are
not entitled to reimbursement of or exchange for any “real-world” monies or
monetary value. You agree that the Game Resource you access (and all
underlying intellectual property) are properties of
ours and what you obtain is merely a limited license to access such Game
Resource in the UGAMEHOME Games in accordance with this Agreement. We also
reserve the right to not grant access of the Game Resource to certain Users. (i) Cash On Delivery “Restricted Game Life” refers to the validity period of the Premium Game
Resource pursuant to your payment of the Admission Fee, i.e. the period
during which we have any obligations to you in relation to the Premium Game
Resource and during which you are permitted to play the Premium Game
Resource. The Restricted Game Life is a period of three (3) months commencing
from the date of your payment of the Admission Fee. Upon the expiry of the
Restricted Game Life, we no longer have any obligation to you and you shall
have no rights to access the Premium Game Resource. Please also see the
concessionary period for UGAMEHOME Games as stated in Clause 5(c)(ii) below. (ii) Three (3) months Concessionary period to continue displaying game In this regard, you agree that we are only obliged to continue
displaying UGAMEHOME Games for three (3) months from the date of your payment
of the Admission Fee, which you agree is a reasonable validity period.
Thereafter, you agree and acknowledge that we may terminate any and all UGAMEHOME
Games or your access thereto at any time in our sole discretion, without any
liability to you whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is without prejudice to
Clauses 11, 12, 13 and 16. (iii) Discharge of obligation You understand and agree that the performance by us of the various
stages of the transactions as contemplated in this Agreement are completed
and executed and all our obligations are discharged and extinguished upon the
expiration of the three (3) months concessionary period. Thus, in substance, economic reality, and substantive law, you have no
further rights to demand to play and we have no further obligation to display
any UGAMEHOME Games for playing, upon the expiration of the three (3) months
concessionary period. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is without prejudice to
Clauses 11, 12, 13 and 16.
The payment of the Admission fee for permission to access the Premium
Game Resource (including UGAMEHOME Points Card), on or through http://www.UGAMEHOME.com, its related sub-domains, any merchant service provider and/or other
third party platforms requires acceptance of the terms of service and privacy
policy of such merchant service provider and/or third party platform prior to
the use of such merchant service provider and/or third party platform (as the
case may be). The act of downloading, viewing, or using such payment channels
and instruments constitutes acceptance of their terms of service and privacy
policy. Upon the payment of the Admission Fee by you, you agree that no
Premium Game Resource (including UGAMEHOME Points Card) is eligible for
return, and that the Admission Fee is not refundable, in whole or in part.
You shall not be entitled to any concession in respect of this payment term. If
any payment is disputed or charged back, the associated Account(s) or access
through the associated Account(s) may be suspended, or terminated if any
fraudulent activity is detected. For security and anti-fraud purpose, we may require any User, whether
prior to or after payment of the Admission Fee, to provide personal
information such as name, address, phone number, social security number, and
copy of picture ID. Users may also be required to write and sign a statement
certifying that their purchases are authorized and legitimate. Failure to do
so may result in suspension of the associated Account or of access through
the associated Account. 6. TRADING AMONG USERS Trading of Game Resource (including in-game currency) between players of
the same UGAMEHOME Game on the same server through our built-in features
within the UGAMEHOME Games for trading of Game Resource is permitted. All
other trading, sublicensing, renting, leasing, loaning, selling or transfers
of Accounts, characters or Game Resource, including without limitation,
trading of Account ID, Account Names, and all out-of-game transfers, are
strictly prohibited. Further, any transactions in connection with the Game
Resources or other Services amongst Users or provision of in-games services
such as power-leveling for “real-world” payment or payment outside the
Services is strictly prohibited. You shall not access or use any Account or Game Resource pursuant to any
sublicense, rent, lease, loan, sale or prohibited transfer arrangement. We are not responsible for any losses that occur, whether in relation to
any permitted or prohibited trading activities. ANY AND ALL PROHIBITED
CONDUCT MAY RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF THE ACCOUNTS INVOLVED IN SUCH
CONDUCT OR TRANSACTIONS OR TERMINATION OF ACCESS THROUGH ANY ACCOUNTS
INVOLVED IN SUCH CONDUCT OR TRANSACTIONS. 7. CONTENT AND USER CONDUCT (a) Content. You acknowledge that: (i) by using the

Services or your access thereto and all Accounts (subject to Clause 5(c)(ii)
but without prejudice to any other of our rights under this Agreement or by
law, in particular the provisions set out in clauses 11, 12, 13 and 16) at
any time in the light of our budgeted operation costs, and in such case, you
will lose access to the UGAMEHOME Games characters including all Game
Resources whether Premium Game Resource or Free Game Resource, and we shall
not have any obligation to refund any fees you paid or provide any other

liability whatsoever to you. 17. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed and enforced under
the laws of Singapore, without applying any conflicts of law principles that
would require application of the law of any other jurisdiction. You agree to
submit to the personal non-exclusive jurisdiction in Singapore and any other
court of competent jurisdiction chosen by us. In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or
termination, (a “Dispute”), we strongly encourage that a resolution first be
sought through our Customer Support service. You agree that in the event that a resolution is not obtained through
our Customer Support service, such Dispute shall be referred by you and may
be referred by us to and finally resolved by arbitration in Singapore in
accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International
Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") for the time being in force,
which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The
Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, with you appointing one (1)
arbitrator and us appointing one (1) arbitrator and the third arbitrator to
be selected by the two (2) arbitrators so appointed. The language of the
arbitration shall be English. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, you agree that we are entitled to
submit such Dispute for resolution through any other dispute resolution
mechanism including the courts of any jurisdiction and we shall further be
entitled to seek any injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of any
breach or anticipatory breach by you, without any obligations of providing
any bond or surety or proof of damages. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek any injunctive or other
equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of
the Services or any part thereof. You further irrevocably waive all rights to
a class or representative action or as a named or unnamed member in a class,
consolidated, representative or private attorney general action. 18. GENERAL PROVISIONS If we should at any time choose to provide you with a translation of the
English language version of this Agreement, you agree that such translation
is provided for your information only and does not amend this English
version. In the event of any conflict between a translation of this Agreement
and the English version, the English version shall prevail. If any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision
shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall remain in force. The UN
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
disclaimed. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does
not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or your rights hereunder, and
any attempt to the contrary is void, without our prior written permission. We
may assign, transfer, sub-contract and/or sub-license the rights and
obligations under this Agreement to any party at any time, without your prior
written consent. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and
agreement between us and you with respect to us, the Services and UGAMEHOME
Games, and this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements (oral or written,
if any) between the parties. (c) 2010 UGAMEHOME.com All rights reserved. Latest update: Jan, 2012 |
