PROXIMA ENTERPRISES INC. TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: Dec 05, 2023
These Terms of Service (together with Supplemental Terms, defined below, the “Terms of Service” or “Agreement”) govern Your access to and Your purchase, receipt, and use of video games and other Services (defined in Section 1 below) that are provided or made available by Proxima Enterprises Inc. (“Proxima”, “we”, “us”, ”our”).
THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AGREEMENT IN SECTION 15 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION, BINDING ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER) THAT REQUIRES YOU AND PROXIMA TO RESOLVE DISPUTES IN BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND NOT IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. ARBITRATION IS NOT REQUIRED IF YOU LIVE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, ICELAND, LIECHTENSTEIN OR NORWAY (COLLECTIVELY, “EEA”), SWITZERLAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM (THE “UK”), RUSSIA, NEW ZEALAND, OR AUSTRALIA. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THE BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOU FIRST ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. SEE SECTION 15(B).
By purchasing, accessing, receiving, or using any Services, You agree to these Terms of Service and represent and affirm that You are at least 18 years of age OR You have reviewed these Terms of Service with Your parent or guardian and Your parent or guardian assents to them on Your behalf and takes full responsibility for Your compliance with them. If You are the parent or legal guardian of a minor, You and the minor agree to these Terms of Service and are responsible for all use of the Services, including purchases, whether the minor’s Account is open now or created later.
“You” and “Your” mean you and, if you are a minor, also your parent or guardian.
In addition to these Terms of Service, any additional terms and/or agreements that apply to the particular Service(s) accessed, played, purchased, received, or used by You, govern Your access to, purchase, receipt, play, and use of Services (collectively, “Supplemental Terms”) and are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. These Terms of Service may also be supplemented by any terms of service for specific games (the “Game Terms”) accompanying a Game (as defined below) or other terms and conditions that are applicable to one or more Games. The Game Terms and/or such other terms and conditions govern Your access to and Your purchase, receipt, play, and use of the Game. In addition, the Proxima Privacy Policy, available at https://www.Proxima.gg/privacy-policy, sets forth how Proxima collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes Your personal information related to the Services.
Please be aware that certain information you provide while engaging with the Services (as defined below) may be collected and processed directly by services and business offerings of third-parties such as OpenAI OpCo, LLC (together with its affiliates, “OpenAI”) and/or Meta Platforms, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Meta”); OpenAI and/or Meta may use your information in accordance with their privacy policies, available at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy and https://llama-2.ai/privacy-policy/, respectively, and their protocols for collecting and using information to develop their language models, including via GPT 3.5 and/or Llama 2, as described at https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7842364-how-chatgpt-and-our-language-models-are-developed and https://ai.meta.com/llama/#resources, respectively.
You understand that the Services are evolving. Proxima may change these Terms of Service at any time by posting the revised version at https://www.proxima.gg/general-terms-of-service. We may or may not notify You when we do. By continuing to access, use, play, purchase, or receive the Services after the changes become effective, You agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Service. If You do not agree to be bound by the revised Terms of Service, You must stop accessing, using, playing, purchasing or receiving the Services and, if you are a parent or guardian, help Your minor children close their Accounts, memberships, and/or subscriptions (collectively, “Subscriptions”).
1. Services; Photosensitivity and Virtual Reality Warnings
Proxima currently or may eventually offer products and services on PC, Mac, and mobile devices, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) games and other products or services that may You download, install, or play online as a service (sometimes referred to as “games as a service” or “GaaS”), including, but not limited to, Proxima's computer and mobile software game(s) (collectively, “Game(s)”), (ii) access to Content (as defined below), (iii) software, including, but not limited to, third-party software and small amounts of code that might be necessary to facilitate playing online Games that are provided by Proxima as a service offering (collectively, “Software” and together with Content and Games, collectively referred to as “Services”). For purposes of these Terms of Service, references to a “Game” include, unless the context requires otherwise, Content that is accessible by or used or available in the Game or that is applicable to the Game and the Software that facilitates the playing of the Game. You must provide at Your own expense the PC, Mac, mobile device, other equipment, Internet connections, and wireless service plans to access, receive, play, and use the Services. Proxima does not warrant, represent, or guarantee that a Service will be accessible or usable on all equipment or with all wireless or Internet service plans.
Certain Services may require the creation of an account (“Account”). To create an Account, You must have a valid email address and be eligible to use the Service for which You are registering. You must provide truthful and accurate information, and update such information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. During the registration process You may be required to create a password. Proxima has the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate Your Account and refuse any and all current or future access to or receipt, purchase, play, or use of Services if Proxima reasonably believes that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete.
Some Services may require creation of a User Name, such as a “UserID”, “Display Name”, or “Character Name” to represent You in the Services, and which are tied to Your Account (collectively, “User Name(s)”). You may not select the name of another person, any third party's trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property, any name that could mislead other players to believe You to be an employee or agent of Proxima or affiliated companies, or any name that Proxima deems in its sole discretion to be vulgar, offensive, or otherwise violates these Terms of Service. Subject to the Statutory Obligations (as defined below), Proxima reserves the right, in its sole discretion, (a) to delete or alter any User Names tied to an Account; and (b) to restrict, suspend, or terminate Your access to or play or use of any Service or license granted to You, for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any suspected or actual infringement of any trademark or trade name right, copyright, or other intellectual or proprietary right.
By creating an Account, You agree that You do not own the Account, any User Names created on the Account, any Content stored or associated with an Account (such as digital and/or virtual assets, achievements, virtual currency, and other Downloadable Content), or related data associated with the Account.
Accounts are non-transferable under all circumstances. Do not reveal Your Account password to others. You have sole liability for all activities on Your Account and/or under Your User Names. You may be held liable for losses incurred by Proxima or other third parties due to someone else using Your Account, User Name and/or password. Your Account or certain features of Your Account may be restricted, suspended, and/or terminated if someone else uses Your Account, User Name, and/or password to engage in activity that violates these Terms of Service or is otherwise improper or illegal. You agree to promptly notify Proxima if You suspect or become aware of any unauthorized use of Your Account, User Name, password, or personal information, or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to request and/or require You to alter Your password if we believe that Your password is no longer secure.
Proxima takes certain steps to protect against possible breaches of our Services and the personal information we maintain about You. However, no online service, website, or Internet transmission is completely secure. Thus, Proxima cannot and does not guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. We urge You to take steps to keep Your personal information, User Name and security information such as passwords safe.
SECTION 12 OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE INCLUDE PROVISIONS THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO COLLECT DAMAGES FROM PROXIMA IF (I) YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH PROXIMA AND (II) YOU LIVE IN A JURISDICTION WHERE PROVISIONS EXCLUDING OR LIMITING LIABILITY ARE ENFORCEABLE.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE EEA, THE UK, SWITZERLAND, RUSSIA, AUSTRALIA, OR NEW ZEALAND, PROXIMA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN GUARANTEES, WARRANTIES, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IN RESPECT OF REFUNDS AND RETURNS, UNFAIR TERMS AND PROXIMA'S MANDATORY LEGAL DUTIES (SEE THE NEXT PARAGRAPH) AND LIABILITY SUCH AS FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO ITS NEGLIGENCE) IMPOSED BY THE LAWS RELATING TO THE SUPPLY OF GOODS, SERVICES, AND DIGITAL CONTENT UNDER THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, AND ANY GAME TERMS WHICH THE LAWS EXPRESSLY PROVIDE MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED, RESTRICTED, OR MODIFIED, OR MAY ONLY BE LIMITED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT (THE “STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS”).
NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS, AND ANY GAME TERMS EXCLUDES, RESTRICTS, OR MODIFIES THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS OTHERWISE THAN ACCORDING TO SUCH LAWS.
UNDER THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS PROXIMA IS UNDER A LEGAL DUTY TO SUPPLY TO YOU GOODS, SERVICES, AND DIGITAL CONTENT THAT ARE IN CONFORMITY WITH OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU AND TO DO SO USING REASONABLE SKILL AND CARE.
PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING. A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain visual images, including without limitation light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer, television, or other screen, or while playing video games, may induce epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals. These conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms, blackouts, or seizures in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If You, anyone in Your family, or anyone in Your household, have an epileptic condition, have had seizures of any kind, or seizure symptoms, consult a doctor prior to using the Services or playing any Game. If You experience any of the following symptoms while playing any Game, immediately discontinue use and consult Your physician before resuming play: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, loss of awareness, disorientation, confusion, any involuntary movement, or convulsions. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1), IN NO EVENT SHALL PROXIMA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, INJURY, OR DEATH (OR FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR MISUSE OF A GAME OR ANY RELATED EQUIPMENT. YOU HEREBY RELEASE PROXIMA, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION SUCH USE OR MISUSE.
Any use, reproduction, modification, or distribution of Services, including, but not limited to, Games, Content, Software, or any other intellectual property not expressly authorized by these Terms of Service or by an authorized representative of Proxima in writing is strictly prohibited.
Not all features, products, or Services offered or provided may be available to all persons who try to register or in all geographic locations. Proxima reserves the right to limit, in its sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any feature, product, or Service to any person or geographic area.
Any offer for any feature, product or Service is void where such Services are prohibited. You are solely responsible for Your compliance with applicable laws with respect to the Services that You access, purchase, receive, play, or use.
2. Content. This Section 2 shall survive any termination of these Terms of Service.
A. Content Generally. “Content” includes technology, text, forum posts, chat posts, profiles, widgets, messages, links, emails, music, sound, graphics, animations, animation-style videos, content, pictures, code, files, data, characters (and items and attributes associated with characters), and all audio visual or other material appearing on or emanating to and/or from the Services, as well as the design and appearance of any websites under Proxima's control. All Content made available by Proxima, unless explicitly identified as third-party content, is owned by Proxima, its affiliates, and/or their licensors. Except as necessary to use the Services in compliance with these Terms of Service, You may not copy, use or download any Content from a Service unless You are expressly authorized to do so by Proxima in writing. You acknowledge and agree that You shall not reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, publicly perform, or transmit any Content for commercial uses unless You obtained the express written consent of an authorized representative of Proxima. For clarification purposes, “derivative works based upon” Services and/or Content are works that are substantially similar, both in ideas and expression, to Services and/or Content. Therefore, if You or someone else creates a work and it is likely to bring to mind either or both Services (such as a Game) and Content, then it is likely that such work is a derivative work and as such may not be used for commercial purposes.
B. User-Generated Content. Content includes user-generated Content that You contribute, provide, post, upload, or otherwise submit to Proxima via a Service (“UGC”), including but not limited to (i) any photographs, images, video, music, sounds, and other data that You contribute, provide, post, upload, or otherwise submit to Proxima via a Service (collectively, “Your UGC”), (ii) Content contributed, provided, posted, uploaded, or otherwise submitted to Proxima by any other person using or via the Services and Content that is not Your UGC, including but is not limited to, Account personas, User Names, customer service chats, communications, or other suggestions, ideas, notes, feedback, concepts or other information concerning the Services, whether generated at Proxima's specific request or despite Proxima's request that You not do so (collectively, “Proxima Owned UGC”). Proxima Owned UGC also includes all Content that You create or develop using Content provided or made available by Proxima, including but not limited to Content that You create or develop that is a derivative work of the Content provided or made available by Proxima. Content and materials that are created, developed or accessible within a Game or Service using Content or tools provided by Proxima (e.g., Content and material created via an in-Game editor and accessible only within the Game) are Proxima Owned UGC and not Game Mods (as defined below).
Proxima Owned UGC does not include (i) any Content that You create or develop if such Content or if the creation or development of such Content would constitute a breach of this Agreement or any Supplemental Terms or would violate any law or (ii) any Content that You create or develop without the use of Content provided or made available by Proxima.
Proxima does not pre-screen UGC and does not endorse or approve any UGC that You and other users may contribute, provide, post, upload, or otherwise submit via the Services. You are solely responsible for Your UGC and may be held liable for UGC that You contribute, provide, post, upload, or otherwise submit.
You may not contribute, provide, post, upload or otherwise submit any UGC that is copyrighted, protected by trademark or trade secret law, or otherwise subject to third-party intellectual property rights, or other rights such as privacy and publicity rights, unless You own those rights free and clear or have written permission from their rightful owner to contribute, provide, post, upload or otherwise submit such UGC and to grant or assign the described license and property rights to Proxima as described below.
As between You and Proxima, You will be the owner of all of Your UGC. To the fullest extent permitted by law, You hereby expressly grant (or You warrant that the owner of Your UGC has expressly granted) to Proxima and its licensors, licensees, and designees a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees) right and license to exercise all rights of any kind or nature associated with Your UGC in all formats and media, whether existing now or in the future, and to the extent permitted by applicable law You agree not to assert or enforce any moral rights or similar rights You may have which may now or may hereafter be recognized, and all ancillary and subsidiary rights, in any languages now known or not currently known.
Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law or regulation, by contributing, providing, posting, uploading, or otherwise submitting Proxima Owned UGC or creating Proxima Owned UGC, You acknowledge and agree that all such Proxima Owned UGC is the sole property of Proxima and You hereby assign and agree to assign to Proxima all such Proxima Owned UGC contributed, provided, posted, uploaded, or otherwise submitted by You and such assignment will be effective on the date the Proxima Owned UGC is created. To the extent that Proxima cannot claim exclusive ownership rights in such Proxima UGC by operation of law or pursuant to the assignment above, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, You hereby expressly grant (or You warrant that the owner of such Proxima UGC has expressly granted) to Proxima and its licensors, licensees and designees a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers of sublicensees) right and license to exercise all rights of any kind or nature associated with such Proxima UGC in all formats and media, whether existing now or in the future, and to the extent permitted by applicable law You agree not to assert or enforce any moral rights or similar rights You may have which may now or may hereafter be recognized, and all ancillary and subsidiary rights, in any languages now known or not currently known.
You further grant each user of the Services a non-exclusive license to access UGC and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such UGC as permitted through the Services, including, but not limited to, Service and/or Game functionality. If so required under applicable law, You will enter into any agreement or undertake any action as deemed necessary by Proxima to effect the licenses described above in this Section.
IN ALL CASES OF UGC UNDER THIS SECTION 2, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS, PROXIMA RESERVES THE RIGHT (BUT HAS NO OBLIGATION EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW) TO REVIEW, REMOVE, BLOCK, EDIT, MOVE, OR DISABLE UGC FOR ANY REASON, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE, AND HAS NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO UGC, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WHEN PROXIMA DETERMINES THAT UGC VIOLATES THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. The decision to remove UGC or other Content at any time is in Proxima's sole and final discretion. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Proxima does not assume any responsibility or liability for UGC or for its removal or for any failure to or delay in removing, UGC or other Content.
C. Downloadable Content, Achievements, and Other Virtual Items
Content also includes Content that may be downloaded or downloadable, accessed or accessible from any website authorized by or under Proxima's control (“Downloadable Content”). Downloadable Content includes, but is not limited to, licensed rights granted, awarded, and/or provided to You to access and/or use online or off-line elements or features of certain Services as well as Game updates, unlockable Content, digital and/or virtual assets, rights of use tied to unlock keys or codes, merchandise redemption codes, serial codes and/or online authentication of any kind, in-game achievements, video trailers, Game screenshots, and/or Game-related wallpapers. Downloadable Content may be free, redeemable, and/or purchased, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Proxima reserves the right to change the price (as applicable) of Downloadable Content at any time, without notice.
Downloadable Content may only be held in Accounts or on devices belonging to legal residents of countries where access to and receipt, play, or use of the Services and Downloadable Content are permitted. Except as granted in a Game's Game Terms, Proxima hereby grants to You a limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-transferable license to use, view, and display Downloadable Content that You have lawfully downloaded. Once You have redeemed Downloadable Content, that Content is not returnable, exchangeable, or refundable for other Content or for cash, or other goods or services unless approved by Proxima or required by applicable law and subject to the Statutory Obligations. Unless otherwise specified by Proxima in writing and unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law and subject to the Statutory Obligations, Downloadable Content may expire upon the earlier of (a) the closure of an Account, or (b) the later of one hundred and eighty (180) days past (i) the most recent Account login by You or (ii) the end of Your Subscription for the applicable Service if such Subscription is not renewed.
You agree that You have no ownership right or title in or to any such Downloadable Content, including, but not limited to, the virtual goods appearing or originating in the Services (such as a Game) or any other attributes associated with any Account or Services. Proxima does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property executed outside of the Game, or the purported sale, gift, or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates in a Service or a Game. Accordingly, You may not sell, and You may not assist others in selling, Service(s) or in-Game items for real currency, or exchange those items for value outside of the Services. Evidence of any attempt to redeem Downloadable Content for a purported exchange, sale, gift, or trade in the “real world” will result in the immediate suspension or termination of Your Account or Subscription. You acknowledge and agree that all virtual items represent a limited license right for Your personal, private, non-commercial, non-transferable, and limited use governed by these Terms of Service and are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from Proxima at any time. Proxima reserves the right to refuse Your request(s) to acquire Downloadable Content, and reserves the right to limit or block any request to acquire Downloadable Content for any or no reason.
D. Unlinked Accounts
To the extent Proxima in its sole discretion permits You to download or play a Game without having an Account or without linking that Game to Your Account (including without limitation enabling You to purchase, receive, or download any Downloadable Content for such Game), then if You purchase, receive or download Downloadable Content using a device that is not linked to an Account, and Your device is lost, stolen or damaged or Your device or data is hacked, then such Downloadable Content as well as Your UGC, game settings, data, in-game achievements and in-game purchases will be lost and Proxima will not be able to and Proxima will not restore such Downloadable Content or Your UGC, game settings, data, in-game achievements or in-game purchases. SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1), PROXIMA SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR, AND ALL RISK OF LOSS SHALL BE BORNE BY YOU WITH REGARDS TO, ANY DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT, GAME SETTINGS, DATA, IN-GAME ACHIEVEMENTS, AND IN-GAME PURCHASES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCESS TO OR PURCHASE, RECEIPT, DOWNLOAD, PLAY OR USE OF DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT USING A DEVICE THAT IS NOT LINKED TO AN ACCOUNT.
3. Limited License to Use
Subject to the terms in these Terms of Service and Your compliance with all of the terms and conditions in these Terms of Service, Proxima grants to You, for Your personal, private and non-commercial use only, a non-exclusive, revocable, nontransferable license to access, receive, play, and use Services (including any Content which is made available by Proxima as a part of a Service and then solely in connection with such Service) as set forth in these Terms of Service.
You may not (a) distribute, publicly perform or display, sell, transmit, publish, edit, reproduce, sublicense, rent, lease, loan or otherwise transfer any Game, Software, and/or Content; (b) modify, adapt, reverse engineer or decompile the Software, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Software; (c) create any derivative works based upon any Services; (d) otherwise access, receive, play or use any Services except as expressly provided in these Terms of Service; (e) copy or download any Software or Content unless the Content is Downloadable Content or You are otherwise expressly authorized to do so in writing by Proxima; and/or (f) remove, obscure, or alter copyright, patent, trademark, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to any Services. Any commercial use or play of a Service is prohibited absent written permission by an authorized representative of Proxima.
Proxima reserves the right to actively enforce its intellectual property rights to the fullest extent of the law. If You are found to engage or facilitate the engagement of infringing and/or illegal activity, including, but not limited to, making unauthorized copies and/or distributing Services, Proxima may in its sole discretion restrict, suspend, or terminate Your Account or Your access to or use, play or receipt of some or any Services, and/or pursue further legal action against You. Please note that these activities may constitute civil wrongs and/or criminal offenses and Proxima reserves the right to take such action as appropriate in the circumstances. You agree to reimburse Proxima for any liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses incurred by or suffered by Proxima arising from or related to any attempted or actual unauthorized or illegal conduct by You, or through the use of Your Account as more particularly described in Section 13.
Proxima reserves title to the Services and all rights to any Services not specifically granted under these Terms of Service, including without limitation all rights of reproduction, modification, distribution, display, disassembly and decompilation, and all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, and other proprietary and intellectual property rights and interests. Your access to and receipt, play, and use of Services is subject to the intellectual property rights of Proxima and except for the express licenses granted in the first paragraph of this Section 3, Proxima does not grant You any licenses or rights to patents or other proprietary or intellectual property rights. Content, Software, and Games are licensed, not sold, to You. You acknowledge and agree that in the case of Games that are made available as a service, (i) You might not have a copy of the Game on Your computer or mobile device as the case may be, (ii) You will access and play the Game via the Internet, and (iii) You must have a persistent Internet connection to access and play the Game.
All Services and all intellectual property rights in the Services are owned by Proxima or its licensors and are protected by United States, other jurisdictions, and international copyright, trade dress, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, and other laws protecting intellectual property and related proprietary rights. With the exception of the licenses granted to You in the first paragraph of this Section 3, this Section 3 shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service. Proxima may, in its discretion, make available to You one or more application programming interfaces and associated documentation (each an “API”) to allow You to access, create, download, enable, use, or associate Content that modifies or otherwise provides enhanced features to the user interface (“Add-ons”) for a Game. The API and Add-ons are Software for purposes of these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Service, if the Supplemental Terms for an API or Add-on directly conflict with specific terms and conditions in these Terms of Service or any other Supplemental Terms, the Supplemental Terms for an API or Add-on will control, but solely for purpose of the specific API and Add-on and not for any other purpose.
4. Beta Tests and Free Trials
In its sole discretion, Proxima may contact You to review and evaluate, or playtest, one or more Games, aspects of Games, or online features prior to commercial release for the purpose of identifying program errors and obtaining feedback. You will be asked to provide to Proxima certain feedback and suggestions regarding Your evaluation of the Games or features. Your participation is subject to these Terms of Service and other applicable Supplemental Terms, such as a beta testing agreement and a non-disclosure agreement. By accepting our invitation and playtesting the Game and/or features, You also agree that to the extent permitted by law: (i) playing an unreleased Game is at Your own risk and You understand that the Game and/or Game features may include known or unknown bugs or other errors, (ii) any value or status indicators that You achieve through any playtest may be erased at any time, including, but not limited to, upon commercial release; and (iii) Proxima has no obligation to make these Games or features available, or available without charge or to fix errors or bugs identified by You.
Beta Test accounts are non-transferable under any circumstances.
For some Services, Proxima may elect to offer You access to a trial Game and/or a trial Subscription. Such Services may require You to sign up for an Account and/or a Subscription under the terms described in these Terms of Service. If You accept a free Game trial or a trial Subscription for a Game that requires a Subscription, and the trial period expires, (i) in the case of access to a trial Game, You will no longer be able to access the Game without purchasing it and (ii) in the case of a trial Subscription, You will no longer receive the benefits of the Subscription unless, where necessary, You update or complete Your information and purchase the Services. Proxima is under no obligation to notify You in advance of the free trial Game access or Subscription expiring and You will be responsible for all charges incurred. Just like paid Subscriptions, Accounts, and Beta Test accounts, trial Game access and Subscriptions are non-transferable under any circumstances.
5. Paid Services
Some Services require payment of a fee. You must pay the then-current applicable fees to access, play, participate in, or receive those Services, and You may be required to have an Account. For information about fees for particular Services, including Subscription fees, You should visit the particular Service's product web page or contact us at support@proxima.gg. The fees displayed for Services are subject to change at any time and from time to time without notice except as set out below. Proxima reserves the right to change Proxima's fees or billing methods at any time and, in the case of periodic fees, upon notice to You through Your Account or through the Services as set out below. If any change is unacceptable to You, You may cancel Your Account at any time (see Section 7 below) with such termination being effective at the end of the then-current term or rolling period for which You previously paid, but Proxima will not refund any fees or prorate fees except where a refund is required by applicable law and subject to the Statutory Obligations (as defined in Section 1).
FEES ARE PAYABLE IN ADVANCE AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS AND THIS TERMS OF SERVICES, ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART.
If Your access to or receipt, play or use of the Services is subject to applicable governmental charges (including but not limited to sales tax, value added tax (VAT), goods and service tax (GST) or other taxes), then You must pay for those charges. Your total price may include such governmental charges or such governmental charges may be separately identified from Your paid Service(s) fees as shown during the payment process. Failure to invoice You for any such charges does not relieve You of the liability to pay such charges.
As the Account holder, You are responsible for all charges incurred on Your Account, including, but not limited to, applicable taxes, and the fees for all purchases made by You or anyone that uses Your Account, including, but not limited to, Your family or friends.
You must pay fees using the payment methods made available by Proxima for the particular Service (the “Payment Methods”) and You agree to the terms and conditions applicable to each Payment Method You choose. Payment Methods may vary by Service and the terms will be in Your Account details, or if You are making a purchase on a device without using an Account, such details will be provided at the time of purchase. When You provide credit card or other Payment Method information to make a purchase from Proxima, You represent to Proxima that You are the authorized user of the credit card or other Payment Method. You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for Your billing account. You must promptly update all information to keep Your billing account current, complete, and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and You must promptly notify Proxima if Your credit card or other Payment Method is canceled (for example, for loss, theft, or expiration).
Some Payment Methods require or permit You to choose automatic renewal. In such cases, You are agreeing to permit Proxima to automatically charge Your credit card, bank card, debit card or other Payment Method associated with Your Account for an automatic renewal of Your current preferences to the applicable Service. You may cancel at any time with the termination being effective at the end of the then-current term or rolling period by revising Your selection in Your Accounts page, or contacting us at support@proxima.gg. To sign up for automatic renewal, You must keep a valid credit card number or other Payment Method number or information associated with Your Account. Your payment will automatically renew on the expiration date of the then-current term or rolling period at a fee no greater than Proxima's then-current price at the time of renewal, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless You terminate. If You have registered for or requested an automatic renewal, You agree that Proxima may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, charge You or continue charging You on an automatic recurring basis for Your current preferences unless You terminate, which will become effective at the end of Your then-current term or rolling period. If You have registered for or requested an automatic renewal but do not have a valid credit card and/or other valid Payment Method information on file, You will not be able to continue to receive the benefits (e.g., resume Game play or any paid Services usage) without updating Your Payment Method information. Proxima reserves the right to utilize third-party credit card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards provided by You to Proxima. Customers who use a third-party Payment Method may incur additional payment processing fees charged by such third-party to its customers, and may not be able to automatically renew Subscriptions.
6. Availability of Services and Content; Game Maintenance, Patches, Updates; Termination of Services
Proxima does not guarantee that any Services will be accessible or available at all times, in all countries and/or all geographic locations, at any given time, or that Proxima will continue to offer any particular Services for any particular length of time. Except as prohibited by applicable law and subject to the Statutory Obligations, Proxima reserves the right to change and/or update Content without notice to You. Proxima also reserves the right to refuse Your request(s) to acquire Content, and to limit or block any request to acquire Content, including, but not limited to, Downloadable Content, for any reason.
Proxima may patch, update, or modify a Service at any time with or without notice to You. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proxima has no obligation to make available any patches, updates, or modifications or correct any errors or defects in the Services. Proxima makes no guarantees about the persistence or availability of any User Names or other personas at any time and assumes no liability for lost or deleted Account data.
