1.1. Lionmoon UG (limited liability), Mittelstr. 42, 68169 Mannheim ("Lionmoon"), offers various games for use, particularly online games that can be played in a browser ("browser games") and on mobile devices ("mobile game apps") (collectively "game" or "games"), as well as additional services associated with them ("additional service" or "additional services") to the user ("user" or "users"). Such additional services may include services enabling communication with other players (forums, chats, blogs, etc.), the uploading of media content such as images and texts, the acquisition of virtual game currency, and other services.

1.2. The following General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") govern the use of the games and additional services provided by Lionmoon. Lionmoon offers games and additional services exclusively based on these GTC.

1.3. Any terms and conditions of the user are hereby expressly rejected.

1.4. The user accepts these GTC by checking the box "I accept the GTC" during registration and clicking the registration button. When using the games via mobile game apps, the user accepts the GTC by downloading the respective mobile game app. These GTC apply to every participation of the user in the games and every use of the additional services.

1.5. In addition to these GTC, the applicable game rules and game manuals (if available), which are published or made accessible on the game websites or via the mobile game app, also apply. In case of conflicts between these GTC and the game rules or game manuals, the provisions of these GTC shall prevail.

§ 2. User; Description and Scope of Services

2.1. Lionmoon offers games and additional services exclusively to consumers, i.e., natural persons. All persons who are at least 16 years old at the time of registration or whose legal representatives have given their consent to the use are eligible to use the services.

2.2. The games and additional services are for entertainment purposes only. Use for commercial or business purposes is prohibited.

2.3. Lionmoon provides the games and additional services within the scope of its technical and operational capabilities.

2.4. Lionmoon offers its games in a basic version free of charge. The basic version is a fully playable game version but does not contain all features ("basic version"). Certain features are only available to paying users (see § 5. Premium Services and Payment Terms). Unless expressly agreed otherwise in the descriptions of the additional services, the use of additional services is free of charge. Otherwise, the provisions of § 5 apply accordingly to paid additional services (premium services).

2.5. The games and additional services can be accessed via internet-enabled PCs. Additionally, they can be used on smartphones or other internet-enabled mobile devices, although the functionality and display may be limited in this case. It is the responsibility of the user to maintain their computer or other device in a condition that allows the use of the games and additional services. The user is solely responsible for ensuring their internet connection and for the functionality and compatibility of their devices and software (browser, access software) with the games.

2.6. The games and additional services are continuously updated and revised. The user is granted a right to use the respective game and/or additional service in its current version only. The user does not have any right to request the maintenance of the games and/or additional services in the state it was at the time of contract conclusion. Lionmoon reserves the right to discontinue, modify, or restrict the operation of the games, additional services, or parts thereof without stating reasons.

§ 3. Conclusion of Contract, Free Basic Version

3.1. Participation in games requires user registration. Registration is done by filling out a form and entering additional information. Registration requirements for game apps may differ. Additionally, the user must accept these GTC by checking a checkbox during registration.

3.2. By submitting the completed registration form for browser games or by downloading the game app from an app store (e.g., Google Play Store, Apple Store) onto their mobile device, the user submits a binding offer to conclude a contract for the use of games ("contract"). The contract is concluded for an indefinite period upon approval confirmation sent to the user via email (for browser games) or by other activation methods by Lionmoon that allow participation in a game. With the approval or activation of the user, the user is granted access to the free basic version of the respective game. Premium services are not included in the free basic version.

3.3. There is no entitlement to registration and activation.

3.4. Each contract relates to participation in a specific game world (or game server or game round) of the respective game with a specific account in that game.

3.5. The user may be able to access services from Lionmoon's contractual partners in certain games and additional services. In such cases, a separate contract is concluded between the user and the respective contractual partner of Lionmoon. The user will be informed accordingly before concluding the contract.

§ 4. Player Name; Account

4.1. Upon successful registration, a user account ("account") is created. In this account, the user can manage their data independently and delete the account.

4.2. The user selects a player name for participation in the games. There is no entitlement to a specific player name. The player name must not infringe third-party rights or violate moral standards. Additionally, no email or internet address may be used as a player name. In case of violations, Lionmoon is entitled to change or delete the name chosen by the user without requiring the user's consent.

4.3. The user may register only once per game world (or game server, game round, or game world). If the user has already registered for participation in a game world (or game server or game round), they may not register again under different personal data for the same game world.

4.4. Lionmoon is entitled to delete accounts that have not been used for six months (180 days). In such cases, any contracts automatically terminate.

4.5. Additional conditions for account use (prohibition of multiple registrations in the same game world, rules for account sitting, access data, etc.) are regulated in the respective game rules.

§ 5. Premium Services and Payment Terms

5.1. Lionmoon offers users the option to purchase paid services ("premium services") in exchange for a fee. Premium services include, but are not limited to, virtual items, virtual game currency, and additional features. Premium services exclusively consist of digital products and not physical goods.

5.2. The contract for premium services is concluded when the user selects the premium service, clicks "Buy" or similar, and Lionmoon accepts the offer by sending an order confirmation via in-game message or email, or by making the premium service available.

5.3. Each purchase of premium services constitutes a separate contract between Lionmoon and the user or between third parties (e.g., app stores) and the user. There is no obligation for the user to make recurring purchases of premium services.

5.4. Lionmoon reserves the right to modify, expand, or discontinue premium services at its discretion. Changes to premium services shall be communicated to users in an appropriate manner.

5.5. The details regarding the functionality of each premium service, its duration (if applicable), the applicable fees, and available payment methods are provided in the respective game or service descriptions.

5.6. Lionmoon reserves the right to modify the type, scope, and content of premium services. This includes the introduction of new premium services, modification of existing ones, or discontinuation of specific services.

5.7. The content, functions and pre-requisites of the premium services at the time of the order as displayed on the websites of Lionmoon or in the mobile game apps, as well as according to the relevant shopping carts shall apply.

5.8. For browser games, valid prices are those applicable at the time of the order, as displayed on the websites and on Lionmoon price lists, as well as according to the relevant shopping carts. For mobile game apps, the applicable prices are those listed in the respective app stores from which the games were downloaded, which will also be communicated in the order confirmation for each respective order.

5.9. If virtual currencies are simulated within the games, they are considered premium services and do not represent real money. A conversion of virtual currencies or other premium services back into real money is not possible.

5.10. Lionmoon reserves the right to charge fees for premium services in advance. Fees become due immediately upon conclusion of the purchase agreement, i.e., upon confirmation of the acquisition of the premium service.

5.11. Users may pay for premium services via the available payment methods. However, there is no entitlement to a specific payment method. The accepted payment methods are displayed on Lionmoon's websites for browser games and within the app stores for mobile games. Payment processing is handled by third-party service providers, with whom the user may enter into a separate contractual relationship. The terms of the respective payment providers shall apply in addition to these GTC.

5.12. Lionmoon reserves the right to change the pricing of premium services at its discretion.

5.13. In the event of late payment, Lionmoon is entitled to charge default interest in accordance with statutory regulations. Furthermore, Lionmoon reserves the right to discontinue services to the user and suspend their account(s) with immediate effect. If chargebacks or payment failures occur due to the user's fault (e.g., insufficient funds, incorrect payment information), the user shall bear any associated fees.

5.14. The user may only offset claims of Lionmoon against undisputed or legally established counter claims. The right of retention may only be exercised if the counterclaim arises from the same contractual relationship. The assignment of user's claims against Lionmoon to third parties is excluded.

8.1. The user agrees to keep their login credentials and passwords ("access data") confidential and to protect them from unauthorized access. The user is solely responsible for the use of their account.

The user will be allowed to resume use once Lionmoon determines, at its discretion, that the suspicion of credential misuse has been resolved. Lionmoon will inform the affected user accordingly.

8.3. Under no circumstances shall the user be permitted to use access data of another user, unless the rules of each particular game provide specific exceptions.
