These Terms of Service (together with the Privacy Policy and any other terms, policies and regulations referred herein, “Terms“) between Xterio Labs Limited (“Xterio“, “we“, “us“, “our“) and any publisher, developer, user, person or entity (“you“) governs your utilization, access to and use of the Xterio Web3 Games ecosystem (“Xterio Platform“ or “Platform“), the Xterio website (the “Site“) and the gaming-as-a-service solution (https://xter.io), the affiliated Games, applications, Virtual Items, information, user generated content and any products, APIs, mobile apps, and any other software, tools, features, or functionalities provided on or in connection with our and other services that link to these Terms (“Services“) provided by or on behalf of us.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 14 BELOW, THEY INCLUDE A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND REQUIRE ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN US TO BE RESOLVED THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN BY A JUDGE OR JURY IN COURT.

If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, you warrant that you are authorized to do so and have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the words “you“ and “your“ as used in these Terms shall refer to such entity. You represent and warrant that you will comply fully with these Terms.
The Services are not intended for distribution, access or use by any person or entity in China or any jurisdiction where such distribution, access or use would be contrary to, prohibited, restricted or taxed by any law or regulation, or which would subject us to any registration or licensing requirements, or any jurisdiction that is subject to a comprehensive U.S. Government embargo (“Embargoed Jurisdiction”) or sanctions administered by an agency of the U.S. Government, any other government, or the United Nations (collectively, “Sanctions”).

If you do not provide complete and accurate information in response to such a request, we may refuse to restore your access to the Services.
General. Xterio Platform is a decentralized play-and-earn gaming platform which includes or may include (a) a Game gallery, where Game information including genres, release status, real-time popularity, player feedback, promotional information and marketing materials are displayed, (b) a NFT launchpad (the “Launchpad“), where users can purchase non-fungible tokens (“NFTs“) from Game developers, (c) a NFT marketplace, where users can sell and purchase NFTs in a secondary market (the “Marketplace“), (d) creation of a Xterio Platform non-custodial wallet (powered by Particle Wallet) that is automatically linked to a user’s Xterio Platform account (a “Xterio Wallet“), (e) an asset (dashboard) page, where users can view the NFTs and Game tokens for Games that are integrated with the Xterio Platform and deposit the NFTs and Game tokens to smart contracts or wallet addresses for use in said Games or withdraw their NFTs and other Game tokens to their Xterio Wallet or other non-custodial wallets that are linked to their Xterio Platform account, and (f) “Xter.AI“, where users can use our AI-powered Web3 creation tool to design a customized piece of artwork which they can mint into a NFT and mint replicas of such NFTs (known as “Shards“), and such NFTs are non-transferable ERC-1155 NFTs. “Games“ means any games published and/or made available by us, whether existing now or in the future, including any games which are available on the Site, or associated websites, or integrated with the Xterio Platform, as may be applicable in the relevant context.
No Responsibility for the Marketplace. We reject any responsibility for NFTs offered by third-parties (other users) on the Marketplace. Any purchases on the Marketplace will be done peer-to-peer through smart contracts (each a “Smart Contract“) on the underlying distributed-ledger network. Any transaction that you engage in will be conducted solely through the distributed-ledger network underlying the respective NFTs via a supported third-party account (wallet) solution. We will have no insight into or control over these payments or transactions, nor do we have the ability to reverse, stop or execute any transactions. We disclaim any liability to you or to any third party for any claims or damages that arise as a result of any transaction that you engage in via the Platform.
Xterio Wallet and Third-party Wallets. You can connect your third-party non-custodial wallet to your Xterio Platform account or you can use the Xterio Wallet automatically generated when your Xterio Platform account is created. We will never take custody or control over any Digital Assets stored in your Xterio Wallet or other third-party non-custodial wallet.
Transaction details. We have no control over any Digital Assets in relation to the Xterio Platform. We cannot ensure that any transaction details a user submits, whether in relation to any NFTs, other Digital Assets or otherwise, will be confirmed and processed on the underlying distributed-ledger network. We cannot assist you to cancel or otherwise modify any transaction or detail that you have submitted to the underlying distributed-ledger network.
Depositing NFTs and Game Tokens. When you deposit NFTs and Game tokens in smart contracts or wallet addresses for use in Games integrated with the Xterio Platform, you agree that ownership over such NFTs and Game tokens is transferred to the Game developer of the relevant Game. When you withdraw such NFTs and Game tokens to your Xterio Wallet or third-party non-custodial wallet, ownership over such NFTs and Game tokens are transferred to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and the respective terms entered into between you and the relevant Game developer regarding Digital Assets (including NFTs and Game tokens) in relation to each respective Game, the latter shall prevail.
No Storage of any Wallet Credentials. We do not receive or store your wallet password, or its private keys. We cannot assist you with password or private key retrievals. You are solely responsible for remembering, storing and keeping secret your password and private keys. Any NFT or Digital Asset that you have stored within a supported web3 third-party wallet may become inaccessible if you do not know or keep secret its private keys and password.
Multi-chain Compatibility. The Xterio Platform has multi-chain compatibility so that Game developers can choose the underlying distributed-ledger network on which they want to deploy their web3 Games. Each user can store items, characters, and other Digital Assets on underlying distributed-ledger networks compatible with the Xterio Platform that allow for decentralized, immutable record of ownership.
Gaming Rewards. Each user of any Game on the Xterio Platform or any Game contained on the Site or associated websites, may be able to earn or receive gaming rewards. Gaming rewards consist of Digital Assets reflected on the underlying distributed-ledger network on which the respective Game is deployed or Virtual Items reflected in the respective Game. Gaming rewards do not function as financial instruments and are not attributed to the financial market. Gaming rewards are not financial instruments and are not being offered to investors. Gaming rewards may reside solely within the underlying distributed-ledger network or within the Game and may or may not have value. You acknowledge that gaming rewards are granted by the developers or publishers of the respective Games and that we are neither responsible nor control the granting or issuance of any gaming rewards, unless we are the Game developer.
Virtual Items and Digital Assets. “Virtual Items“ means the rights that may be licensed to you by the Game developers of Games to access or use certain features made available in said Games, including access to digital or unlockable content, additional or enhanced functionality, virtual in-game assets, in-game achievements, and virtual in-game points, coins and currencies. “Digital Assets“ means digital assets on a blockchain such as NFTs and fungible tokens but, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Xter.AI Created Assets.
Evolution of the Services. Our Services evolve constantly. As such, the Services may change from time to time, at our sole discretion. We may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Services or any features within the Services to you or to users generally. We may modify, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Services or any features within the Services, and you acknowledge and agree that we will have no liability in the event we elect to modify, suspend, terminate or discontinue the Services or any features within the Services. We also retain the right to create limits on use at our sole discretion at any time. We may remove Games visible on the Xterio Platform, suspend or terminate users, and reclaim usernames without liability to you.
Third-party services. We use certain third-party services in the provision of our Services and, to the extent permitted by law and except as otherwise agreed by us, we are not responsible for their product or services or any underlying logic, decisioning or code underlying the provision of their products or services used in our Services. You acknowledge and agree that Xterio and its affiliates are not liable, and shall not seek to hold Xterio and its affiliates liable, for such third-party services.
User Conduct
AI-generated content. Our Services, including Xter.AI, may contain images or other content generated by artificial intelligence (AI). You are solely responsible for any text or prompt you input to Xter.AI (“Input“) and the resulting outputs, images, derivatives, content and other material (including outputs, images, derivatives, content and material not minted) you receive from using the tool (“Output“) and ensuring such Input and Output complies with these Terms, community guidelines, and all applicable laws. You acknowledge that the Output you receive is based on the Input provided, and that we have no control over any such Input. We do not verify the Output or verify the accuracy, completeness, reliability or legality of the Output and we do not accept any liability arising in any way from your Input or your use of the Output. All Output is provided “as is” and with “all faults”, and we make no representations or warranties of any kind or nature, whether express or implied, with respect to any Outputs, including any warranties of suitability, accuracy, completeness and non-infringement. You are solely responsible for your Input, including any obligations in relation to its accuracy, quality and legality.

You assume all risks associated with your use of your Input and Output, including any potential copyright infringement claims from third parties, as well as your disclosure of your Input and Output, including any potential breach of personal data claims.
You acknowledge and agree not to use any Input, use Xter.AI to intentionally generate, create or produce any Output, or use any Output which:
Whether the above has been breached shall be determined by Xterio in our sole discretion on a case-by-case basis.
Ownership
By accessing Xter.AI, you acknowledge and agree that:
any and all Output, including any intellectual property rights therein, shall exclusively vest with Xterio, and you agree that you will not take any action that might harm or adversely affect such rights. You agree that you do not own any rights, title and interest in and to any and all Output;
to the extent that the above does not apply, you hereby irrevocably convey, transfer and assign, and agree to convey, transfer and assign, to Xterio, all of your right, title and interest in and to any and all Output, including all intellectual property rights therein, throughout the world and in perpetuity. In furtherance of the foregoing, you agree to execute all documents and take all actions which may be necessary or requested by Xterio at any point in time (including beyond the termination or expiry of these Terms) to give effect to the foregoing at no cost to Xterio. In the event you fail to, for any reason whatsoever, execute or deliver any such documents or take such actions reasonably promptly so as to give effect to the foregoing, then to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Xterio is hereby authorized and irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact of and for you, to make, execute and deliver any and all such documents and take all such actions which may be necessary or reasonable to give effect to the foregoing. Xterio shall have the exclusive right, on a worldwide basis and in perpetuity, to use, exhibit, display, distribute, disclose, reproduce, copy, modify, alter, offer for sale, import, license, transfer, make derivative works based upon, perform, market, commercialize and otherwise exploit your Output, at its sole and absolute discretion without payment of any royalties or other amounts to you or any other third party. To the extent that such conveyance, transfer and assignment of all right, title and interest in and to the Output and all intellectual property rights therein, worldwide and in perpetuity, to Xterio cannot be undertaken under applicable law, then to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you shall waive, or if a waiver is not legally permissible, you shall not assert any rights against Xterio or its sublicensees, successors or permitted assignees with regard to Xterio’s, its sublicensees’, its successors’ or permitted assignees’, use, exhibition, display, distribution, disclosure, reproduction, copy, modification, alteration, offer for sale, importation, licensing, transfer, making of derivative works based upon, performance, marketing, commercialization and exploitation of such Output, and you shall not grant any third party any license in relation to your Output without the prior written consent of Xterio or its successors or permitted assignees (as applicable);
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you shall waive any and all moral rights and economic rights in such Output throughout the world. To the extent that such rights cannot be waived under applicable law, you agree that you shall not assert such rights against Xterio (and its successors and permitted assignees) and its affiliates;
for the avoidance of doubt, when you mint a customized piece of artwork into an NFT or mint a Shard through Xter.AI (collectively, “Xter.AI Created Assets” and each such minted NFT, an “Xter.AI Created Asset”), except where we explicitly state otherwise, each Xter.AI Created Asset vests exclusively with Xterio, and we only grant you a personal, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use and access the Xter.AI Created Assets for your own personal and non-commercial use only, and such use shall only be to the extent permitted by us, in our sole discretion, from time to time. We may change characteristics of the Xter.AI Created Assets, including their associated visualizations, and any functionalities may be added or removed, from time to time, in our sole discretion. We may also disable, deactivate or destroy any Xter.AI Created Assets from time to time, at our sole discretion;
Xterio grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use Xter.AI for the purpose of designing a customized piece of artwork for minting into an NFT through Xter.AI and/or minting Shards through Xter.AI, or where access and use of Xter.AI is incorporated into events organized by Xterio’s affiliates (“Events”), for such other purposes as may be specified in writing from time to time under those Events. Save for the foregoing, you are not allowed to access or make any further use of Xter.AI for any purpose whatsoever. Save for the limited license granted above, no right, title or interest in and to Xter.AI is transferred to you. You acknowledge and agree that you shall refrain from doing any act to challenge the validity or enforceability of Xterio and/or its affiliates’ rights to Xter.AI in any forum.
By accessing Xter.AI, you represent, warrant and undertake that:
your Output and any and all Input used by you to generate, create or produce your Output (a) are not previously licensed, exhibited, sold, used, reproduced, performed, published, released, distributed, commercialized, or exploited; (b) have not received any award or been submitted for other contests or projects; and (c) are not subject to any rights, title or interest of any third party;
Xterio shall have the exclusive right to use, exhibit, display, distribute, disclose, reproduce, copy, modify, alter, offer for sale, import, make derivative works based upon, perform, market, commercialize and otherwise exploit your Output, throughout the world and in perpetuity, without additional notification or compensation to you or any other third party, and without any permission or approval required from you or any other third party. You understand that nothing in these Terms shall obligate Xterio to use, reproduce, exhibit, display, distribute, disclose, reproduce, copy, modify, alter, offer for sale, import, make derivative works based upon, perform, market, commercialize or otherwise exploit your Output in any way and you will not be entitled to any compensation in connection with your Output in the event Xterio elects to do any of the foregoing. Though Xterio may elect (in its sole discretion) to give you credit or award for your Output, nothing in these Terms shall obligate Xterio to do so; further, if Xterio elects to give you such credit or award for your Output, all characteristics and nature of such credit or award shall be determined by Xterio in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, any credit or award provided to you shall not be construed as granting you any rights, title and interest in and to any Output, or acknowledging that you have any rights, title and interest in and to any Output.
Fees and Pricing
Dynamic pricing and Shards. Our Xter.AI product employs an automated, dynamic pricing mechanism to determine both the cost of minting or burning a Shard. While our pricing rules are intended to ensure pricing is fair and accurately reflects the market’s supply and demand conditions, we cannot make any guarantees as to fairness and the pricing determined by our automated process is final. The decision by us to award (or not to award) any rewards or points to users based on rankings, total value or otherwise is final.
Minting Xter.AI Created Assets. You may be required to pay applicable gas fees in order to mint a Shard or a customized piece of artwork designed through Xter.AI.
General
Access or use of Xter.AI may, from time to time, be incorporated into Events organized by Xterio’s affiliates or third parties. For avoidance of doubt, any Event specific terms and conditions (“Event Terms“) shall apply to the relationship between you and such Xterio’s affiliate or third party while these Terms shall apply to the relationship between you and Xterio. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Event Terms, the latter shall prevail to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
Your Account. You need to create an account to use our Services. Your account will be governed by the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference, in addition to these Terms. You are responsible for safeguarding your account, so use a strong password and limit its use to this account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above. Your account should be kept personal to you and not shared with other people.
Linked accounts. You can link your account with online accounts you have with third party service providers such as Google, X, Facebook and others (a “Third Party Account“) by providing your Third Party Account login information through the Platform or allowing us to access your Third Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms of service that govern your use of each Third Party Account.
You represent and warrant that you are entitled to disclose your Third Party Account login information to us and/or grant us access to your Third Party Account, without breaching any of the terms of service that govern your use of the applicable Third Party Account, and without obligating us to pay any fees or making us subject to any usage limitations imposed by the relevant third party service provider of the Third Party Account.
If a Third Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or our access to such Third Party Account is terminated by the relevant third party service provider, then you may no longer be able to login to your account via that method on our Platform. You will have the ability to disable the connection between your account on the Platform and your linked Third Party Accounts at any time.
You can control most communications from the Services. We may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services, and you may not be able to opt out from receiving them.

Your use of the Services must not violate any applicable laws and regulations, including gaming and gambling laws, financial market laws, export control laws, or other laws in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for making sure that your use of the Services complies with laws and any applicable regulations.

Usernames and team names that may not reflect our professional standards may be denied at any time.
You also agree that you will not:
Any form of cheating will not be tolerated. All users are prohibited from influencing or manipulating Games on the Xterio Platform so that the outcome is determined by anything other than its merits. Examples of cheating include but are not limited to: collusion, match fixing or any other action to intentionally alter, or attempt to alter, the results of any Game, including losing a Game with another user in order to advance one or the other’s rank, attempts to interfere with another user’s connection to the Game service through Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) or any other means, tampering with the entry process or the operation of Games, any use of bots, hacks, or any code or software not expressly authorized by the Game developer that allows the automated control of Games visible on the Xterio Platform, or any component or feature thereof. Any of these types of actions, or any intentional use, or attempted use, of any bugs or exploits in the Game may result in a forfeit of the Game and disqualification from Games.
You agree not to misuse our Services, for example, by interfering with them or accessing them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide. You may not do or attempt to do any of the following while accessing or using the Services: (i) access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of the Services, our computer systems, or the technical delivery systems of our providers; (ii) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measures; (iii) interfere with, or disrupt, the access of any user, host or network, including, without limitation, sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, or mail-bombing the Services.

Play to Earn Gaming Universe. You are solely responsible for determining what, if any, taxes apply to you and play to earn mechanisms, and any other transactions conducted by you. If you elect to engage in any play to earn mechanisms (including, but not limited to, any mechanism that permits you to play any Games or use any Services on the Xterio Platform, Site or otherwise), you will be responsible to pay all sales, use, value-added or other taxes, duties and assessments now or hereinafter claimed or imposed by any governmental authority. You (i) shall reimburse us for all federal, state, cantonal, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction, including value-added taxes and taxes as required by international tax treaties, customs or other import or export taxes, and amounts levied in lieu thereof based on services performed or payments made hereunder, as are now or hereafter may be imposed under the authority of any national, state, local or any other taxing jurisdiction; and (ii) shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to us pursuant to these Terms.
You further acknowledge that we are not responsible, and you accept sole responsibility for any and all missed Game tokens, rewards or otherwise, regardless of the source of any error, fault or otherwise. Any and all play to earn mechanisms in place (including, but not limited to, the method, amounts or otherwise) are not permanent and may or may not be changed at any time.
We give you a limited, personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable and non-exclusive right to use the software provided to you as part of the Services. This right has the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefits of the Services as provided by us via the Platform, in the manner permitted by these Terms. This right will immediately end upon the expiry or termination of these Terms for any reason.
Nothing in the Terms gives you a right to use our name or any of our logos, domain names, other distinctive brand features, and other proprietary rights. All rights, title and interest in and to the Services are and will remain the exclusive property of us and our licensors. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may provide regarding us or the Services is entirely voluntary and we will be free to use such feedback, comments, or suggestions as we see fit and without any obligation to you.
You may need to approve access to the distributed-ledger network on which web3 components of the Xterio Platform are deployed and grant access to your web3 wallet address to connect and use some of our Services. In addition, we may allow you to connect third party services to our Services. If you rely on third party services in relation to your use of our Services, you should refer to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. All such third party providers and their services, sites and technologies are in no way endorsed, controlled or verified by Xterio. Xterio does not guarantee the performance of such third party services, sites and technologies and makes no warranty of any kind and is not responsible for any disruption, problem, damage, data loss, cost or inconvenience caused by such third party providers. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials, recovery phrase, or the private key to connect to the Services and to access third party services. Please make sure that you store everything in a safe place. Your wallet should be kept personal to you and not shared with other people. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above. You can control most communications from the Services. We may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services, and you may not be able to opt out from receiving them.
Distributed-Ledger Network Risk. You warrant that you accept the risk of distributed-ledger networks and protocols, including instability, congestion, high transaction costs, information insecurity, regulatory risk, and technological and operational error. You understand these risks may result in delay or failure to process transactions and potentially high transaction fees or third party fees. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any diminished Services, related features, or capabilities resulting from distributed-ledger network risks. In the event of a material increase or decrease to transaction fees, third party fees, or operational degradation, congestion, failure or other disruption of the underlying distributed-ledger network, we may, at our sole discretion, make any adjustments to the Services.
Distributed-Ledger Network Modification Risk. You warrant that you are familiar with and accept the risks associated with distributed-ledger network development and code changes. Distributed-ledger technologies are still under development and may undergo significant changes over time. Distributed-ledger network contributors may make changes to features and specifications of the consensus algorithm or other parts, and may fork the distributed-ledger network protocol. Such changes may include or result in the elimination or support for specific algorithms and applications.
Game Tokens. Game tokens are not considered legal tender, are not issued or backed by any government, and have fewer regulatory protections than traditional currency. Moreover, Game tokens are not insured against theft or loss by any insurance corporation or any investor protection.
Market Risk. The value of Digital Assets are derived from supply and demand in the global marketplace, which can rise or fall independent of any government currency. Holding Digital Assets carries exchange rate and other types of risk. The value of Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange traditional government currency for Digital Assets, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular Digital Asset should the market disappear. The volatility and unpredictability of the price and value of Digital Assets, relative to government currency, may result in significant loss over a short period of time. We do not warrant the value of any Digital Assets, or artwork (including Xter.AI Created Assets) or other Virtual Items displayed on our Platform, and explicitly warn you that there is no reason to believe that any of the foregoing will increase in value, and that they may hold no value, decrease in value, or entirely lose value. We do not make any endorsement or recommendation of the value or price of any Digital Asset, or artwork (including Xter.AI Created Assets) or other Virtual Items displayed on our Platform and no information provided by us on our Platform is or should be taken as investment advice or an inducement or solicitation to invest in any Digital Asset, artwork or other Virtual Items, issuer or otherwise.
Regulatory Risk. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of Digital Assets. The regulatory status of cryptographic tokens, Digital Assets and distributed-ledger technology is unclear or unsettled in many jurisdictions. It is difficult to predict how or whether governmental authorities will regulate such technologies. It is likewise difficult to predict how or whether any governmental authority may make changes to existing laws, regulations and/or rules that will affect cryptographic tokens, Digital Assets, distributed-ledger technology and its applications. Such changes could negatively impact the Services in various ways, including, for example, through a determination that any of the above are regulated financial instruments that require registration. We may cease any distribution of any of the above, the development of the Xterio Platform or cease operations in a jurisdiction in the event that governmental actions make it unlawful or commercially undesirable to continue to do so. The industry in which we operate is new, and may be subject to heightened oversight and scrutiny, including investigations or enforcement actions. There can be no assurance that governmental, quasi- governmental, regulatory or other similar types of (including banking) authorities will not examine our operations or pursue enforcement actions against us. Such governmental activities may or may not be the result of targeting us in particular. All of this may subject us to judgments, settlements, fines or penalties, or cause us to restructure our operations and activities or to cease offering certain products or services, all of which could harm our reputation or lead to higher operational costs, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the Services.
Technology Risk. Transactions relating to Digital Assets and Xter.AI Created Assets are irreversible and losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Blockchain transactions are deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which may not necessarily be the date or time the user initiated the transaction. The nature of such blockchain transactions may lead to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attacks.
We reserve the right to charge fees for the use of all or specific functions of the Services (including additional functionalities added to the Platform in the future), now or in the future and as set out in connection with the respective Service (see fees and payment terms when accessing a fee-based service). We and the Game developers may charge you fees for the use of the Games and related Virtual Items and Game Services offered on the Xterio Platform. Some features of the Services may require the possibility of automated fee collection (direct debit) or other payment solutions through APIs, which require the use of supported third-party solutions. Such third-party solutions and payment providers may require you to agree to their terms and conditions and set up a separate account. The terms of such third-party service providers are specific to them. You should make yourself aware of such third party terms, before making any payment or receiving such third-party services. By using any of the supported third-party solutions for automated collection, you acknowledge that such solutions are not offered by us, they are governed by separate terms and conditions, we do not have control, and we are not responsible for any costs, expenses, other liabilities, damages or losses you may incur as a result of using such solutions.
