Your continued use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of these changes. If at any time you do not agree with any part of the then-current version of our Terms of Service, D-TECH Privacy Policy, or any other D-TECH policy, rule or guideline relating to your use of the Service, your right to use the Service immediately terminates and you must immediately cease using the Service.

D-TECH ID

D-TECH ID is a service that allows you to protect your game account and easily use your D-TECH game accounts on all your mobile devices. It is not possible to disconnect your game account from D-TECH ID after registering with D-TECH ID, as we need to protect the security and privacy of your account. If you have any questions about D-TECH ID, you can contact us through the support options available in all D-TECH games.

You expressly agree that we will commence performance of the purchase agreement for the Virtual Products or any other digital content prior to the expiration of the statutory withdrawal period established by applicable law. You expressly agree in advance that the purchased content will be delivered to you before the expiration of the withdrawal period and that you therefore lose your statutory right of withdrawal.

D-TECH may manage, edit, control, modify or remove Virtual Products with or without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, D-TECH shall have no liability to you or any third party if D-TECH exercises any of these rights.

The transfer of Virtual Products is prohibited unless expressly authorized in the Service. Except as expressly authorized in the Service, you shall not sell, purchase from a third party, trade, exchange, or in any way transfer Virtual Products to D-TECH, another user, or any third party, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, to sell, purchase, exchange, or in any way transfer Virtual Products to D-TECH, another user, or any third party, except as expressly authorized in the Service.

All VIRTUAL PRODUCT PURCHASE AND USE TRANSACTIONS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE FINAL AND CANNOT BE REFUNDED UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. For more information about purchases made by minors, please see our Parents Guide.

The provision of Virtual Goods for use in D-TECH games is a service provided by D-TECH immediately upon acceptance of your purchase by D-TECH.

4.2. Payment of Wages

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Accordingly, some of the above disclaimers may not apply to you.

7. Limitation of Liability; Sole and Exclusive Remedy; Compensation

D-TECH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE TERMS OF SERVICE OR THE SERVICE ITSELF, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT D-TECH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, D-TECH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER SIMILAR DAMAGES OR COMPENSATION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST REVENUES, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR OTHER INTANGIBLE DAMAGES (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE SUBJECT TO APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS). D-TECH WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT OF ANY PAYMENT YOU MAKE TO D-TECH PURSUANT TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE YOU FIRST MAKE A CLAIM. IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE ANY PAYMENT TO D-TECH DURING THIS PERIOD, YOU AGREE AND AGREE THAT YOUR ONLY RESORT (AND D-TECH‘S EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY) FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH D-TECH IS TO TERMINATE USE OF THE SERVICE AND CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.

ESPECIALLY, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SHALL IMPACT ANY CONSUMER’S LEGAL RIGHTS OR RELEASE OR LIMIT ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR INJURY ARISING FROM ANY NEGLIGENCE OR ERROR OF D-TECH.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless D-TECH (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from and against any and all claims, demands, damages and other losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, asserted by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Service or based on or resulting from your breach of any of these Terms of Service. However, this condition does not apply if the breach is not attributable to your willful or negligent conduct.

8. Dispute Resolution

You and D-TECH agree that the dispute resolution processes described in this agreement will apply to any dispute or claim in connection with these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy or the Service. Disputes include any claim, including, but not limited to, legal, equitable or statutory claims. Dispute resolution processes will apply even if you discontinue using your Account, delete your Account, or stop using the Service. This also applies to disputes that arose before the agreement was made.

If you are a resident of the United States or Canada, sections 8.1 to 8.6 apply to you. These provisions do not apply to you if you are resident in any other country.

8.1. Informal Dispute Resolution

You must attempt to resolve any dispute directly and informally with D-TECH at least thirty (30) days prior to commencing arbitration. The informal dispute resolution process begins with your written notice of dispute to D-TECH via support@nakeonline.io

8.2. Arbitration Agreement

You and D-TECH agree to resolve any dispute exclusively by final and binding arbitration as follows:

Unless the claim falls within the exceptions described below, you or D-TECH may elect to submit any dispute to final and binding arbitration only. If you or D-TECH brings a claim in court that is arbitrable under this section, either party may ask the court to order the parties to submit the claim to arbitration. The arbitrator has the sole discretion to decide whether any part of this Section 8 (“Dispute Resolution”) is valid or enforceable or applicable to the claim.

All arbitration proceedings will be conducted before a neutral arbitrator. This means that you and D-TECH agree to waive your right to resolve the dispute in court before a judge or jury. Arbitration has different rules than formal litigation. For example, the ability to compel the other side to share information may be more limited than the process called discovery in formal litigation. Once the arbitrator decides the outcome, the decision is final. You or D-TECH can ask the arbitrator to give the decision or award and the reasons for it in writing. Either party may ask the court to confirm or enter the arbitrator’s final decision or award, so that it is the same as a court decision. You and D-TECH generally cannot change the arbitrator’s award through the court, except in very limited circumstances.

8.3. Arbitration Process

The American Arbitration Association (“AAA” American Arbitration Association) will administer the arbitration process. The AAA’s rules and procedures, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules, will be used in the arbitration. However, in the event of a conflict between the Terms of Service and the AAA’s rules and procedures, these Terms of Service will govern. You may go to the AAA website to view the AAA’s Rules or to begin arbitration. If either party decides to commence arbitration, it agrees to serve the other party with a written Request for Arbitration as set forth in the AAA Rules.

Arbitration fees are set by AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. If the arbitrator determines that these fees are excessive, D-TECH will pay them. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim processed allows the prevailing party to recover attorneys’ fees and costs, in which case the arbitrator may award such fees and costs in accordance with applicable law. If either party challenges the validity of the award or award in a subsequent proceeding and such challenge is rejected, the rejected party shall pay the opposing party’s costs and attorneys’ fees in connection with the challenge.

The arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California, USA, or in your country or territory of residence.

8.4 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreements

You and D-TECH agree that the arbitration agreement set forth in Section 8.2 does not apply to the following disputes:

D-TECH‘s intellectual property claims, such as claims relating to the enforcement, protection or validity of D-TECH‘s copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, domain names, patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights.
Claims for piracy or tortious interference.
Claims that are not statutorily subject to arbitration and to which federal law that would permit arbitration is inapplicable.
Claims in the court of first instance.

All disputes not subject to arbitration under these exceptions shall be settled by a court of competent jurisdiction as described in Section 10 (“Settlement of Non-Arbitrable Disputes”).

8.5 Class Action Waiver

You and D-TECH agree that you may only bring individual claims against each other.

This means:

You may not sue D-TECH as a class action member and plaintiff in a collective, consolidated or representative action.
The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of any other person with yours in a single action or preside over any class, consolidated or representative arbitration proceedings.
The arbitral decision or award in your case will not apply to anyone else and cannot be used to decide other people’s disputes.

If this section (Section 8.5 “Class Action Waiver”) is found to be unenforceable or invalid, then all of Section 8, including Sections 8.1 through 8.6, shall be void.

8.6 Exiting the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver Provisions

Subject line “OPTING OUT OF ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. “You may elect to opt out of the above Arbitration Agreement and No Class Action provisions (Sections 8.1 through 8.5) and not be bound by them by sending a notice of your decision to support@snakeonline.io You must send us this notice within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Service or the availability of this opt-out option, whichever is later. If you do not provide notice within that time, you will be bound to arbitrate any disputes on the terms set forth in these paragraphs. D-TECH will not be subject to these provisions if you opt out of these arbitration awards.

8.7 Alternative and Online Dispute Resolution

If you are a customer residing in the European Union or the European Economic Area, you may use the Online Dispute Resolution Platform offered by the European Commission as an out-of-court alternative to resolve disputes. You can also apply to the consumer disputes board in your place of residence or other relevant out-of-court body as an alternative dispute resolution method.

9. Valid Laws

If you are a resident of the United States or Canada: (1) the United States Federal Arbitration Act (including its procedural provisions) governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration agreement and class action waiver provisions in Section 8; and (2) any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy or the Service shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

If you are not a resident of the United States or Canada, you agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy or the Service shall be governed by the laws of Turkey, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

10.Place of Settlement of Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration

If you are a resident of the United States or Canada, you agree that any claim or dispute against D-TECH that is not subject to arbitration under Section 8 must be resolved exclusively by a federal or state court located in San Francisco, California. You and D-TECH consent to court and personal jurisdiction in San Francisco, California for all such claims or disputes.

If you are not a resident of the United States or Canada, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against D-TECH must be resolved exclusively by a court in Samsun, Turkey.

11. Separability

You and D-TECH agree that if any part of these Terms of Service and D-TECH Privacy Policy is held unlawful or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by any court of competent jurisdiction, you agree that such provision will be invalidated in such jurisdiction only to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability. The validity or enforceability of such portions shall not be affected in any other way or from any other jurisdiction and shall remain unaffected by the other portions of the terms, which shall continue in full force and effect.

12. General Provisions

12.1. Assignment

D-TECH may assign and transfer these Terms of Service and the D-TECH Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time, with or without your consent.

12.4. Non-Waiver

The failure of D-TECH to require or enforce your strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Service or the D-TECH Privacy Policy, or to exercise any right under them, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment by D-TECH of any right to assert or rely on such provision or to exercise any right or remedy under such provision at any other time.

D-TECH‘s waiver of any term, condition or requirement of these Terms of Service or the D-TECH Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any obligation to comply with such term, condition or requirement in the future.

Except as expressly and specifically provided in these Terms of Service, no representation, approval, waiver, or other act or omission of D-TECH shall be deemed to be a modification of these Terms of Service and shall not be legally binding unless it is documented in writing and manually signed by you and a duly appointed officer of D-TECH.
