UGC
In all cases, you agree that such UGC is wholly original to you and you exclusively own the rights to such UGC, including the right to grant all of the rights and licenses in such UGC to Helio without Helio incurring any third party obligations or liability arising out of its exercise of the rights granted herein by you.

You further grant to Helio a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicenseable, and transferable license (i) to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise exploit in any manner whatsoever the UGC, or any portion thereof, on our Games as well as via any and all media now known or hereafter developed, and (ii) to advertise, market and promote the same. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, you hereby assign and/or waive any moral rights or rights of publicity or privacy you may have in such UGC, where it is applicable under the actual law. Further, you bear the entire risk of the completeness, accuracy and/or quality of your UGC found in the Games.
If our Games, on which you contribute UGC permits other users to access and use that UGC as part of our Games, then you also grant all other users of the relevant Games the right to use, copy, modify, display, perform, create derivative works from, and otherwise communicate and distribute your UGC on or through the relevant Games without further notice, attribution or compensation to you.

Helio reserves the right to monitor UGC, but cannot monitor or prescreen all of the UGC and does not attempt to do so. Helio has the right, but not the obligation, to edit, refuse to post, or remove any UGC posted within our Games that is deemed objectionable or violates these Terms or the spirit of these Terms, in our sole discretion and determination.

If you find that specific UGC may violate these Terms, please bring it to our attention by contacting us. Helio does not assume any responsibility or liability for UGC that is generated by users of the Games.

Third Party Content

You may not upload or post any Content on our Games that infringes the copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights of a third party nor may you upload Content that violates any third party’s right of privacy or right of publicity. Helio may, without prior notice to you and in its sole judgment, remove Content that may infringe the intellectual property or other rights of a third party.

If you are a repeat infringer of Helio’s or a third party’s intellectual property or other rights, Helio may terminate your account without notice to you. If your account is terminated, you are not entitled to a refund for any fees you have paid, and you will lose access to all Virtual Goods, Virtual Currency and any other benefits of your account.
VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL GOODS; REFUND POLICIES
Virtual Currency is a suppositive unit displayed in our Games, which determines the scope of your rights to use Virtual Goods.

You may use the Virtual Currency exclusively within the gameplay of our Games without any our responsibility for such use.

Virtual Currency is not an object of any applicable legislation on betting, lottery, gambling and currency operations.

Virtual Currency is used for convenient and clear understanding of your volume of acquired rights to Virtual Goods. Thus, amount of Virtual Currency depends on the amount of payment according to the rate established by in-game rules and published within the framework of the game process.

According to the meaning of these Terms and to any offer related to it, amount of Virtual Currency depends (and consequently determines) on the amount of payment that you made due to the acceptance of the offer on Virtual Currency/ Virtual Goods.

Virtual Goods is an additional interactive in-game content that effects to and interacts with our Games, which actually is a part of gameplay (like additional, expanded, special features, processes or possibilities within the gameplay, such as the abilities of the game character, privileges, special game items, maps, quests, and of similar nature), license rights on which are not presented and granted to you unless you made an additional "real money" payment or express another kind of acceptance in the ways provided in the in-game rules.

Therefore, our Games may include Virtual Currency, such as coins, cash, or points that may be purchased for "real" money through transactions with one of our authorized payment vendors. In turn, Virtual Currency may be used to purchase Virtual Goods. Helio does not handle Virtual Currency transactions directly. Third party payment providers handle all Virtual Currency transactions. By purchasing Virtual Currency to be used in our Games, you are bound by these third party payment providers' terms of use.

Helio prohibits and does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property effectuated outside of our Games, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in our Games, unless otherwise expressly authorized by Helio in writing. You are therefore not permitted to trade, sell or attempt to sell in-game items or currency for "real" money, or exchange those items or currency for value of any kind outside of a game, without Helio’s written permission. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and will subject your account to termination.

Payment for Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods. Your order of Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods will represent an offer to us to purchase such items, which will be accepted by us when we assign make the relevant Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods available in your account for you to use on our Games or debit your banking account or card, whichever comes first. We may revise the pricing for Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods offered through our Games at any time.

Virtual Currency Offered by Third Parties. Please be aware that if you purchase Facebook Credits, Google Play Credit, or make a purchase via Steam or other payment credit offered by the applicable Third Party Service, you are agreeing to that service’s payment terms and Helio is not a party to the transaction. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an account registered to you. You will also be subject to that Third Party Service’s refund policies.

Games Offered through Steam. We offer a generous refund policy to our users. You may request a refund of a game for any reason (i) within fourteen (14) days of purchase and (ii) so long as the game has been played for less than two hours and the downloadable content has not been consumed, modified or transferred.

European Union rules. If you reside in the European Union, by law you have the right to withdraw from a purchase within fourteen (14) days, commencing on the day when you receive your purchase ("cooling-off period") if you have not used the Virtual Currency, Virtual Goods and/or game within the cooling-off period and you wish to obtain a refund, please immediately advise Helio (or the applicable Third Party Service) so that a refund can be issued within 30 days.

If your use of our Games or game purchase is subject to any type of use or sales tax, then Helio may also charge you for those taxes.

Illegal charges. If a user has incurred charges or fees as a result of bona fide identity theft, Helio will work with the user and the third party payment provider to achieve a refund for such charges or fees.

License to Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods. Other than a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods in our Games, you have no right in or title to such Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods. Helio has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, and/or eliminate Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and Helio shall have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES; ADVERTISEMENTS
Helio may provide links on our Games to third party websites or vendors who may invite you to participate in a promotional offer in return for receiving additional services, Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency. Any charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility. Helio makes no representation or warranty regarding any content, goods and/or services provided by any third party (even if linked from our Games), and will not be liable for any claim relating to any third party content, goods and/or services. Helio is not responsible for such third party content, business practices or privacy policies, or for the collection, use or disclosure of any information those sites may collect.
MEMBER DISPUTES; RELEASE
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of our Games and any other parties with whom you interact through our Games. Helio reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes. If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
GAMES UPDATES
You acknowledge that we may perform updates from time to time for our Games, with or without notifying you. You may need to update third party software from time to time in order to use our Games.

LIMITATIONS; WAIVERS OF LIABILITY
HELIO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF OUR GAMES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, EVEN IF HELIO HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH OUR GAMES, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF OUR GAMES. HELIO’S AGGREGATE MAXIMUM POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO OUR GAMES SHALL BE NO MORE THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO HELIO IN THE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS (180) DAYS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM. MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT INCREASE THIS LIMIT.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, save, and hold Helio, its affiliated companies, contractors, employees, agents and its third-party suppliers, licensors, and partners harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of your use or misuse of our Games, any violation by you of these Terms, or any breach of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by you herein. Helio reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Helio, and you agree to cooperate with Helio’s defense of these claims. Helio will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account or of our Games.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Before resorting to formal dispute resolution mechanisms, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution within a thirty (30) day period. If this fails, additional informal discussions begin upon written notice from you or Helio. Helio will send its notice to the email address you have provided to us and may also provide a copy to a physical address if we have one on file. You will send your notice to Helio at: legal@heliogames.com. This Section 18 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions of this Section, such provisions will not apply to you.

Exceptions to Informal discussions and arbitration. You and Helio agree that the following disputes are not subject to the provisions concerning informal discussions and binding arbitration: (1) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any intellectual property rights; (2) any dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or criminal activity; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.

Arbitration. If it is not possible to resolve a dispute through informal discussions, either you or Helio may elect to have the dispute (except those disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by final binding arbitration.

The arbitration shall be performed under the arbitration rules of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by these rules.
