Terms & Conditions
T&C - General Terms and Conditions for "S4 League"
I. Area of Applicability
1. ProSiebenSat.1 Games GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "P7S1 Games" or "We") offers consumers the online game "S4 League" as well as other content and services (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Services") via the website available at http://en.s4-league.com (hereinafter referred to as "Website") for private use.
2. The applicability of any possible terms and conditions of a user is herewith expressly objected. Possible user terms and conditions become a part of the contract only if P7S1 Games expressly consents to such in writing.
II. Subject Matter of the Contract
1. P7S1 Games provides you (a "User") with the opportunity of using the Services, setting up a profile within the scope of your user account (defined below) and contacting and communicating with other Users.
2. You must use a client to connect to the corresponding server for the game in order to play "S4 League". The game servers required for this purpose as well as the client are provided to you online, for utilization and download.
3. You can use the Services free of charge ("Free-to-Play"). There is no obligation to use recurring Services (e.g. based on a subscription). You may also purchase virtual currency (Sec. V) connected to the Services. Insofar as a Service is subject to charges you will be expressly notified of such (Sec. V) and of your corresponding right to cancel (Sec. VI). Neither this contract nor your User Account authorizes your use of any subsequent releases of the game.
4. P7S1 Games reserves the right to continually enhance, update, and modify the Services, without being obligated to do so. This is to enable entertainment for the longest possible time for all Users. Users are therefore only authorized to participate in the respective current version of the game.
5. P7S1 Games reserves the right to stop, limit, or modify the operation of the game, individual Services or individual functions either in full or in part without stating reasons.
6. As a User you understand that online games are enhanced continually and that therefore system requirements for playing online games may also change. Therefore, you may have to upgrade your current system (or obtain a new system) in order to play the game.
7. In order to use the Services you must have at least the minimum system requirements and an internet connection; neither is provided by us. Pursuant to the information on the Website, MAC users may be unable to use the Services overall.
8. Please note: subject to your internet connection, transmission costs may be incurred due to the download of game software (e.g. in case of rates based on data volume). P7S1 Games is not responsible for transmission costs incurred by a software download initiated by you.
9. In order to maintain the high technological level of the Services, the Services may be unavailable for a limited time to perform updates and scheduled maintenance. Such measures will be announced in advance on the Website and in the online game. Unscheduled maintenance measures may also be required, which will also be announced in advance on the Website and in the online game. Utilization options and/or access to the Services may be restricted or interrupted for a limited time due to the abovementioned maintenance and enhancement measures. P7S1 Games ensures a 95% availability of Services as an annual average. This excludes times in which the servers are not accessible via the internet due to technical or other problems that are not within the sphere of influence of P7S1 Games (e.g. force majeure, third party fault, etc.) and times during which scheduled maintenance work is performed. P7S1 Games' liability pursuant to these T&Cs for non-availability of the servers remains unaffected. Access to the services can be limited by P7S1 Games insofar as the safety of the network operation and maintenance of network integrity, in particular avoidance of severe incidents of the network, the software, or saved data, requires such.
III. Eligible Users
1. The Service offer is applicable exclusively for consumers. A consumer is every natural person that concludes a legal transaction for a purpose that is neither a commercial nor a self-employed activity of such person.
2. Eligible Users are persons that have reached their 18th birthday. If you are under the age of 18, valid registration is subject to your parents'/guardian's consent. With your registration you are assuring that you are 18 years of age or are acting with the consent of your parents/guardian. P7S1 Games is authorized to request written confirmation of your age or of your parents'/guardian's declaration of consent.
3. A utilization of Services for commercial purposes is not permitted. Participation in Services is solely for entertainment purposes.
IV. Registration and Conclusion of the Contract
1. Registration is required for utilization of the Services.
Your registration on the Website is a binding offer for the conclusion of an indefinite contract for the utilization of the Services pursuant to these T&C (hereinafter also referred to as "Utilization Agreement").
2. You are required to accept these T&C during registration by clicking a check box. You may print the T&C prior to submitting your registration or save them on a permanent data carrier.
3. After registration on the Website you will receive a confirmation link, which will be sent to the email address indicated during your registration. Please confirm this confirmation link to verify your registration. You may then set up your personal User ac-count (hereinafter referred to as "Account"). The activation of your Account as the first act of performance is deemed to constitute acceptance of your offer for conclusion of a Utilization Agreement on the part of P7S1 Games. The Utilization Agreement is therewith concluded.
4. Every Account is linked to an individual email address. There is no limitation on the number of Accounts, i.e. you may set up an unlimited number of Accounts, whereas an independent email address must be used for each Account. You may use your respective Account for all games within the Services of P7S1 Games. As soon as you have created your respective Account and registered with the corresponding email address for a new game, but use different User data than the data for your respective Account, you will not be able to continue with the new registration. You will then be prompted to register for the new game using the User data of your respective Account.
5. You are obligated to provide correct and complete information for the data requested during registration. During registration you are in particular obligated to provide an email address at which you can actually be reached. If you provide untrue information (e.g. regarding the country of origin), P7S1 Games is authorized to terminate the Utilization Agreement at any time and to delete your Account. You do not have a right to a specific user name or specific password, and you do not have a right to the conclusion of a Utilization Agreement or a contract for individual Services. You may change your password once registration is complete, and you should change your password regularly to increase password safety. Please ensure that the information provided during registration is always up to date.
6. During registration you will chose a member name, which will be used to guide you within the Services. Member names with pornographic, racist, inciting, war glorifying, violence glorifying, insulting or other illegal content are prohibited. A violation will authorize P7S1 Games to immediate termination without notice and to deletion of your Account.
7. Upon registration you grant your consent that the content that you add to the Website can be made accessible to other users of the Website.
V. Services subject to charges: acquisition of Gold Credits
1. Gold Credits (hereinafter referred to as "Gold Credits") is a virtual currency for the acquisition of virtual goods (hereinafter referred to as "Items") for use in the Services. You can purchase Gold Credits in various quantities against payment of commensurate amounts in your national currency. Neither Gold Credits nor Items are goods in terms of Sec. 90 BGB (German Civil Code). Therefore we are not transferring ownership in them but only a utilization right. The scope and duration of the granted utilization right depend on the respective Item or the corresponding conditions for Gold Credits.
2. Depending on your creditworthiness and country of origin, P7S1 Games offers a variety of payment options to you, for example direct debiting or payment by credit card. You are not entitled to use specific payment options that are not already being offered.
3. P7S1 Games may offer additional, alternative payment methods to you, which involve third party services and which may demand other services in return than monetary payments. If you utilize such third party services, a separate contract is concluded between you and the third party. The terms and conditions of the third party may be included in such contracts. We cannot influence the content of such terms and conditions and usually also have no knowledge of the content of such terms and conditions.
4. Once Gold Credits is purchased, you cannot exchange Gold Credits for money, subject to the conditions specified in these T&C.
5. The Services may require different technical equipment (e.g. graphics card, browser, etc.) in order to use them without interference. The Services must be used exclusively via PCs. Pursuant to the information on the Website, MAC users may be unable to use the Services. We recommend testing the Services prior to purchasing Gold Credits in order to determine whether you are fulfilling the technical conditions for a failure-free use of the Services.
6. Gold Credits purchased by you will be credited to your personal User Account. Gold Credits do not expire on principle, as long as the Utilization Agreement is valid between you and P7S1 Games. If the reimbursement of Gold Credits is possible in the various circumstances for a termination of the Utilization Agreement, then this is expressly mentioned in these T&C.
7. The Items acquired by using Gold Credits are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for Gold Credits. Items that can be used in the online game may be subject to time limits and will expire once the time has elapsed. The corresponding time limits are clearly indicated during purchase.
8. Children under the age of 7 are excluded from using Services subject to charges. In the event that you are older than 7 but younger than 18, you need your parents'/guardian's consent or pocket money that has been provided by them for free disposal in order to purchase Gold Credits. Therefore, P7S1 Games will permit only the acquisition of Gold Credits up to an amount of EUR 60/month without the consent of your parents/guardian.
9. Due to the continuous enhancement of "S4 League", we reserve the right to offer new Services and/or Items and/or to remove such from the offer, to modify them or to provide them free of charge. Insofar as you have already made payments for Items and/or Services for a future time and if you are no longer able to use them due to the above-mentioned reasons or if they are offered for use free of charge, then we will at your choice either offer alternative other Items and/or Services and/or reimburse the amount paid on a pro-rated basis. Any other claims in this regard are excluded.
10. P7S1 Games is authorized to reduce the prices for Gold Credits, Items and/or Services either permanently or for a limited time and/or to permanently or for a limited time offer new products, services or payment options.
11. In case of default, P7S1 Games is authorized to demand default interest in the statutory amount, to stop services, and to immediately and temporarily block your User Account. In this case, P7S1 Games' extraordinary termination of the Utilization Agreement may be possible subject to Sec. XIV No. 3 b.
12. If, due to a lack of funds caused by you or due to your fault, we incur return debits and/or cancellation charges due to a retroactive cancellation of debit memos, you will bear the related costs. We are authorized to request these costs together with the original payment from the account indicated by you by way of repeated debit charge. If payment was made by direct debit or credit card and if return debits are incurred, we will charge a flat fee in the amount of EUR 10.00, which corresponds to the expenses charged to us by third parties. You are free to prove that the claimed damage was not incurred or is significantly lower than the flat fee. Our right to assert additional claims for compensation remains unaffected.
13. You may offset only undisputed or legally ascertained counter-claims against P7S1 Games. You may assert your right of retention only if your counter-claim is based on the same contractual relationship. An assignment of your claims against P7S1 Games to third parties is excluded.
VI. Right to Cancel
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
Insofar as you are using a Service subject to charges pursuant to Section V (acquisition of Gold Credits), you have the right to cancel your contractual statement in writing (e.g. by mail, fax, e-mail) within 14 days without stating reasons. This time limit commences upon receipt of these instructions in text form, however not prior to conclusion of the contract nor prior to fulfillment of our obligation to inform pursuant to Section 246 (2) in connection with Section 1 (1) and (2) Introductory Act to the German Civil Code (EG-BGB) as well as our obligations pursuant to Section 312g (1) clause 1 BGB (German Civil Code) in connection with Section 246 (3) Introductory Act to the German Civil Code (EGBGB). The timely dispatch of the cancellation suffices for compliance with the time limit. The cancellation must be addressed to:
ProSiebenSat.1 Games GmbH
Customer Support
Medienallee 19
85774 Unterföhring, Germany
Fax: +49 89 9507 – 8866
Email: cs@p7s1games.net
Consequences of a Cancellation
In the event of a valid cancellation, all services received by both parties must be returned and any possible advantage derived thereof (e.g. interest) must be returned. If you are unable to return the services received either in full or in part, or return them to us only in a deteriorated condition, then you may possibly be obligated to provide compensation for lost value in this regard. This may result in you having to fulfill the contractual payment obligations for the time period up to the time of cancellation.
Obligations to reimburse payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. For you, this time limit commences upon dispatch of your declaration to cancel, and for us it commences upon receipt of such.
Special note: your right to cancel expires prematurely if the contract is completely fulfilled by both parties upon your express request before your right to cancel has been asserted.
END OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
VII. General Conditions for Use and Restrictions
1. You may use your member name and password to a server or on the Website to log in to Services. The automated creation of and/or logging in to User Accounts is not permitted. You must use exclusively the official client of "S4 League" provided by P7S1 Games to connect to the servers. You may not create, support, host, link, or provide any other options through which others may play the game, e.g. server emulators.
2. You are not authorized to use measures, mechanisms, or software in connection with the Website or the client or other software and services provided by P7S1 Games, which might interfere with the function and game play. You may not take any measures that may cause unreasonable or excessive loads on the technical capacities of P7S1 Games.
3. You are expressly prohibited from adding game software elements or modifying, deleting, or in any way changing elements of the game software without our express prior written consent. You are in particular prohibited from copying, removing, or otherwise utilizing graphic elements, or from attempting to decode the source code for the Services.
4. You may not have executed or execute software or hardware supported by third party applications that allows you to influence the game status or the game process or to receive services that are otherwise subject to charges. You are therefore in particular prohibited from acquiring services subject to charges or other advantages, e.g. the systematic or automatic control of the game or individual game functions, by using third party software or other applications (in particular so-called bots, hacks, or cheats).
5. You are expressly prohibited from selling, purchasing, leasing, renting, offering, accepting, distributing or reproducing virtual objects or Gold Credits within and/or outside of the game – in any form whatsoever – insofar as no service in return is demanded or service in return is demanded in shape of other virtual objects or virtual currency for the same game. If virtual currencies or virtual objects are traded or exchanged on a large-scale within the game, without any comparable counter-value being provided within the game, we will assume a violation of this prohibition. In such a case you are authorized to provide counter-evidence. This prohibition is to support P7S1 Games' pursuit that game content and any asset and status positions within the game are not commercialized in order to ensure that Users of Services act only for entertainment. A violation of the above disposal prohibition will result in an immediate blocking of your Account.
6. You are furthermore obligated to comply with statutory stipulations during all use of the games. You are in particular prohibited from distributing any content with porno-graphic, racist, insulting, violence glorifying, war glorifying, or other illegal references as well as contents that may violate third party rights. You are also prohibited from distributing commercial advertisement for third party products or programs or third party work protected by copyrights or other rights in an unauthorized manner.
VIII. User's Obligations and Duties, Indemnification
1. Your main obligation is the payment of charges possibly due for the use of Services subject to charges.
2. Another significant obligation is the provision of proper and complete information regarding all data requested by P7S1 Games during your registration.
3. You may not transfer your Account to other persons without the prior written consent of P7S1 Games. A transfer of your Account against payment is not permitted.
4. You are prohibited from disclosing your password to third parties, even upon request. Neither employees of P7S1 Games nor voluntary participants are authorized to request your password. Dispositions made by an unauthorized third party due to insufficient security of your access data or made by using such access data are your responsibility.
5. In case of password misuse, P7S1 Games is authorized to take all required protective measures. This also includes a (temporary) block of your Services and your User Account. In such a case P7S1 Games is also authorized to change your log-in data and to inform you of such change. In such a case and upon request you will be informed of the new log-in data within an appropriate time period.
6. You understand that in "S4 League" you play with numerous other Users or can communicate using the Services. Game rules must be followed to ensure flourishing inter-play. You will therefore follow the instructions of P7S1 Games, represented by the game managers in the Services. You will furthermore refrain from doing anything that may interrupt operation of the Services. In this regard you are in particular prohibited from adding illegal or immoral content to the Services or transmitting such through the Services. You may not refer to offers with such content, with the exception of private messages (IM, email; not in forums or the global chat) to support or game management, insofar as your message serves to remove such content and insofar as such content is located within the scope of responsibility of P7S1 Games.
7. You indemnify P7S1 Games from any and all claims that other Users or other third parties assert vis-à-vis P7S1 Games due to infringement of their rights caused by content added by you or due to an illegal utilization of the Services or content provided there. In such a case you will accept the costs for a required legal defence of P7S1 Games, to include any and all court and attorney's fees in the statutory amount. This does not apply if you are not responsible for the infringement. In the event of an availment by third parties, you are furthermore obligated to immediately provide P7S1 Games all, complete, and truthful information required for a review of the claims and a defence.
8. P7S1 Games secures all systems controlled by P7S1 Games against virus attacks. However, a virus attack cannot be completely excluded. It can also not be excluded that third parties send unauthorized emails using the name of P7S1 Games, which may for example contain viruses or other harmful software. P7S1 Games has no influence on such conduct. We therefore recommend that you protect your PC against viruses using appropriate software and in particular that you scan all incoming emails for viruses, even if such emails seem to be coming from P7S1 Games.
9. P7S1 Games will preferably communicate with you by email and will use the email address that you registered in your User Account. You must ensure that emails sent to that address can reach you. In particular, you must set up all spam filters in such a way that emails from P7S1 Games are not accidentally blocked.
IX. Responsibility for Third Party Content, Links
1. Among other things, P7S1 Games offers you Services that allow you to publish your own content, in particular in form of text, photos, and graphics (hereinafter referred to as "User Content") via the Services of the Website; you are granting P7S1 Games all rights required for utilization. P7S1 Games may process User Content only if and insofar as this is required for technical reasons for faultless rendering on the Website. Other utilization rights are expressly not granted. You may remove the content and information generated by you at any time. Any and all rights of P7S1 Games in any content affected by such removal are void upon such removal.

If you violate this section, P7S1 Games is authorized to give you a warning and to exclude you from utilizing Services for a specific time period or – in case of severe violations – permanently.
3. P7S1 Games only provides the technical platform for publication of User Content. P7S1 Games is not responsible for third party content or information to which P7S1 Games only provides access or which P7S1 Games forwards without changing the content. The same applies to the unmodified interim storage of third party information. P7S1 Games informs you that P7S1 Games only reviews content if We have been informed of its illegality. P7S1 Games expressly requests that you report illegal content by email to cs@p7s1games.net.
4. Subject to the express written permission by P7S1 Games as rendered on the Website, adding references (hereinafter referred to as "Links") to external websites and information sources as well as links and other connections (e.g. buttons) on the Website or Services is prohibited on principle.

For the duration of the utilization of Services, P7S1 Games grants you the non-exclusive right to use the software within the scope of a non-commercial use on a single user PC. You may create copies of this software only for the purpose of backup and archiving for personal reasons, unless P7S1 Games expressly allows you the transfer of the software. In copies of the software you are obligated to maintain intellectual property right notices embedded in that software and to comply with pertinent laws for the utilization of software.
2. You are not permitted to copy, distribute, sell, auction, lease, rent, grant, modify, create derivative works of, produce, process, translate, list, exhibit, sublicense, or altogether transfer the game or the software in full or in part (with the exception of a possibly required backup copy).

You are obligated to sup-port P7S1 Games in a possible removal of defects by all possible means.
5. We are not liable for delays or non-fulfillment due to reasons that are not within our scope of influence.

6. Warranties in the legal sense are not accepted by P7S1 Games.
XIII. P7S1 Games' Liability

IX).
3. Insofar as P7S1 Games provides services free of charge, P7S1 Games is not, under any circumstances, liable for any damage except damages caused by gross negligence or intent.
4. Insofar as P7S1 Games demands fees for services, P7S1 Games is fully liable in case of intent and gross negligence. In case of ordinary negligence, P7S1 Games is liable only in case of a violation of significant contractual obligations or the violation of a guarantee. Significant contractual obligations, so-called material contractual obligations within the meaning of case law, are obligations that enable the proper fulfillment of the contract and upon the fulfillment of which the User can rely.
5. The above limitations of liability do not apply to a liability for injuries of life, body, and health or in the event of the acceptance of a guarantee by P7S1 Games. The liability of P7S1 Games according to the German Product Liability Act and pursuant to the scope of applications of Sec. 44a Telecommunications Act (TKG) is not affected.

9. The above regulations do not constitute a modification of the burden of proof to the detriment of the User.
XIV. Termination and Contract Term
1. The contracts between you and P7S1 Games are concluded indefinitely unless stated otherwise in these T&C.
2. Both parties are entitled to termination for convenience at any time, with a termination period of seven workdays, unless a specific, limited contract term has been agreed upon.
3. Both parties' right to extraordinary termination for good cause without notice is not affected by the above regulations. P7S1 Games is in particular but not exclusively authorized to terminate for good cause if
a. you culpably violate laws, these T&C, the game rules and/or utilization rules for the Services, and if you repeatedly do not act in compliance with the rules in the same or similar ways despite warning, or
b. if you default on payments with an amount of at least EUR 10.00 and do not pay despite warning.
4. Immediate termination is possible in case of serious violations without requiring prior warning. A serious violation is a violation based on which P7S1 Games cannot be reasonably expected to continue the contract. This is usually the case if:
a. you violate criminal law;
b. you use the Services in an impermissible manner (see above, e.g. Sec. VII); or
c. you provide false data during registration (see above Sec. IV) or during payment of Services subject to charges (see Sec. IV).
5. If P7S1 Games is responsible for an extraordinary termination declared by you or if P7S1 Games permanently cancels the Services, then P7S1 Games will reimburse the value of any Gold Credits possibly still remaining in your User Account in such amount that still remains of the amount actually paid by you. Further claims are excluded unless otherwise stipulated in these T&C.
6. P7S1 Games is entitled to a special termination right if P7S1 Games loses the right to operate "S4 League", e.g. due to the termination of the respective licensing agreement between P7S1 Games and the respective licensor. In that case, P7S1 Games is entitled to extraordinary termination of all contracts pertaining to the operation and utilization of "S4 League" (e.g. Utilization Agreement, contract for the provision and utilization of Gold Credits and/or Items) effective at the time of cancellation of the game operation. Other termination rights are not affected. In that case, P7S1 Games will reimburse to you the value of any Gold Credits possibly still remaining in your User Account.
7. You may delete your Account at any time, which simultaneously terminates the Utilization Agreement without complying with a termination notice period. Any Gold Credits acquired up until that time will expire with this type of termination, without a claim for reimbursement.
XV. Assignment of Rights by P7S1 Games
P7S1 Games is authorized to assign the rights and obligations arising from this contract to a third party. In case of such an assignment you will be entitled to terminate the utilization of the Services of P7S1 Games without complying with any termination notice period. Any Gold Credits still available in your User Account at that time will be reimbursed to you.
XVI. Data Protection
P7S1 Games processes and utilizes User data collected upon conclusion of the contract and within the scope of utilization of the offer, which data is required for the proper fulfillment of the contract, pursuant to the applicable data protection regulations. The data protection policy of P7S1 Games (can be called up at http://en.s4-league.com/privacy) apply.
XVII. Modifications of the T&C
1. P7S1 Games reserves the right to modify or expand these General Terms and Conditions at any time with future effect insofar as this appears to be required and is not to the detriment of the User contrary to good faith. A modification may in particular be necessary to carry out adjustments to a change in the legal situation or to reflect changes of the scope of services regarding the Services. New court decisions are deemed to be changes of the legal situation in terms of this clause.
2. A modification or addition will be announced in an appropriate manner and in writing at least six weeks prior to its effective date. Announcements regarding modifications of the T&C are usually made by way of an announcement by email or on the games' Website, but in any case when the User next logs in to a game.
3. The consent for a modification of the contract is deemed to be given unless you object in writing to the modification within six weeks after receipt of the modification announcement or the possibility of acknowledgement upon publication of the modifications.
4. P7S1 Games is obligated to notify you of the right to object and the consequences of a failure to object within the modification announcement. Insofar as you object to the modifications, P7S1 Games is authorized to an extraordinary termination of the contract with you in consideration of Sec. XIV (3).
XVIII. Final Provisions
1. Insofar as a provision of these T&C is invalid, this does not affect the remaining provisions.
2. In the event of your possible commencement of a suit, such suit must either be filed before a German court or the court of the location where you reside.
3. The law of the country in which you have your main residence applies to all legal relations arising from the utilization of the Services and any claims in this context, with the exclusion of the provisions regarding the uniform United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
