You may only register, own, or control a single Secure User account at a time.

   The Game Wallet exists on the blockchain. STG’s systems pass valid instructions from you to the Game Wallet on your behalf to conduct activity. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your account, including your Game Wallet, by ensuring that all information associated with it is kept in a secure location and not disclosed to any other person or entity. If you are a Secure User, you agree to accurately maintain accurate information and update any information about yourself and your account (including your Service Provider Platform Account), and update within five (5) calendar days any information that you have provided. You further agree that you are responsible for all activities that occur under your Secure User account. Any unauthorized access to your account by third parties could result in the loss or theft of funds held in your account and any associated accounts, including your linked digital wallet, credit card(s) and bank account(s). You understand and agree that you will not hold us, or our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, Service Providers, content providers, contractors, and our and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, members, agents, licensors, licensees, suppliers, successors and assigns (collectively, “Affiliates”), responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your account. You are solely responsible for creating a strong password and maintaining adequate security and control of any and all private keys (not in our control), IDs, passwords, hints, personal identification numbers (PINs), API keys or any other codes that you use to access your Secure User account. You further understand and agree that we and our Affiliates are not responsible (and you will not hold us responsible) for any funds lost in your account or any unauthorized access to or use of your account. You also agree to notify us promptly at the email provided in Section 38 of any unauthorized use of your login credentials or any other breach of security that you become aware of involving or relating to the Services.

   Unless otherwise expressly authorized by us, you may not sell or attempt to sell your account or access to your account, or grant a security interest or other ownership right in your account, to any third party. This includes, without limitation, a prohibition against selling, granting access to, or transferring any of your rights with respect to, your Game Wallet.

   STG (including its Affiliates) reserves the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, to maintain the security of the Services and your account, including without limitation, terminating or disabling your account, changing your username, password, or other identifier, or requesting information to authorize or disable transactions on your account, at any time, including if you have violated any provision of these Terms of Service.

   To qualify and to be approved for certain types of accounts, you may be required to provide certain, sometimes personal, information, including, without limitation, as required to satisfy our applicable cryptocurrency and fiat “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”), Know Your Wallet (“KYW”) and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) compliance requirements. Additionally, STG may, at its sole discretion, require you to take additional actions or provide additional information in connection with the use of a Secure User account or Game Wallet. It is a condition of your use of an account that all such information you provide is correct, current, and complete.

   WE AND OUR AFFILIATES EXPLICITLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION.

   5.2 Account Balances

   As a Secure User, your account allows you access to certain features within the Game and on the Sites, including the Game Wallet, that allow you to hold a balance of digital items or tokens for use through the Services.

   When you sell a Player NFT to another User in accordance with the Terms of Sale, you will receive as proceeds of the sale a platform-exclusive digital tokens (“Super Coins”). Super Coins have no value or functionality outside of the Services. Your Super Coins will be held in your Game Wallet and can only be used on the Marketplace, as defined below in Section 20, to purchase Player NFTs from other Users.

   Wallet are (i) for non-regulated transactions determined by STG, and (ii) for regulated transactions determined also by the relevant Services Provider in accordance with its terms. You agree that the Service Providers are entitled to rely, without further investigation, upon the instructions of the determining party. All transactions from Game Wallets on the Service Provider’s Platform are signed using private keys. This signing is carried out by the Service Provider which acts upon our instructions. These instructions are passed to us from you, or given directly to the Service Provider via the APIs licensed by the Service Providers to us.

   In addition to the Player NFTs and Super Coins that may be held in your Game Wallet, you may acquire certain in-game currency (“Silver” and “Gold”) that will be reflected as a balance within the Game. Silver and Gold have no value outside of the Game and may never be exchanged, redeemed, or converted to money or cryptocurrency, except to the extent required by applicable law. Silver and Gold may only be used to purchase certain virtual products or services within the Game, excluding Player NFTs. Silver and Gold will not be displayed in your Game Wallet and will have no functionality elsewhere on the Sites. You are allowed to purchase Silver and Gold for use in the Game. You must be a Secure User in order to purchase or use Silver and Gold. Such purchases may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Purchases of Silver and Gold are nonrefundable unless otherwise required by law. We or our Service Providers may reject or return any transaction that we reasonably believe would cause you to violate the terms of the Agreements or applicable law.

   STG grants you a limited license to receive and use Super Coins, Silver and Gold, subject to the Agreements and any other supplemental transaction or promotional terms and conditions we may require at the time of the transaction. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Agreements or other applicable terms and conditions, the balance held in your account may only be used to obtain certain products and services in connection with the Services. Holding a balance of Super Coins, Silver, or Gold in your account does not entitle you to any claim or right with respect to us or our Affiliates and Service Providers (including but not limited to Forte and PTI), such as the right to redeem any portion of the balances in your account for money, monetary value, or any other thing of value, unless specifically stated otherwise in the Agreements.

   You acknowledge and agree that your Secure User account, including the Game Wallet and Service Provider Platform account, is not a bank account or other type of financial account. The Game Wallet does not accrue interest, is not insured by any entity (including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), and does not hold real currency or virtual currency, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreements. You further acknowledge and agree that you have no personal property rights with respect to your accounts, your Game Wallet, or its contents, except to the extent that you own Player NFTs held in the Game Wallet in accordance with the Agreements. We or our Service Providers may modify your accounts or Game Wallet at any time and in any way we deem appropriate for the provision of the Services or the operation of the Sites or take any other action with respect to the Game Wallet, Super Coins, Silver or Gold, except as prohibited by applicable law, even if such action on our part affects the perceived value of the contents of your Game Wallet.

   Subject to certain terms and limitations, you may redeem Super Coins for fiat currency. Such redemption process is provided by our Service Provider, PTI, and is subject to PTI’s terms and conditions. When you initiate a redemption of Super Coins on the Sites, you will be redirected to a portal operated by our Service Provider to complete the transaction.

   The balances in your accounts may terminate or cease operation in accordance with the Agreements when we cease providing the Services, operating the Sites, or the Agreements are otherwise terminated.

   STG and its Service Providers will not, and are under no obligation to, provide you with any account statement or other similar written accounting of your Game Wallet and its contents. In order to review the contents of your Game Wallet, you must log into your account and visit the appropriate account management page on the Sites.

   In the event that you receive real currency or virtual currency from activity related to your account or use of the Services, you understand and agree that you are solely responsible for any taxes that may apply to such activity and that STG and its Affiliates are under no obligation to provide you notice of any applicable or potentially applicable taxes.

   Except as otherwise provided in the Agreements or prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to reduce, deactivate, suspend, or terminate your accounts, your Game Wallet, or your access to any features of the Services that relate to the contents of your accounts, if in our sole discretion and after an investigation, we find that you have violated the Agreements, misused your account, or have otherwise used any feature of your accounts in connection with any illegal activity.

   If our relationship with our Service Providers and/or access to the Service Provider Platform is suspended or is terminated for any reason, you may lose access to the Service Provider Platform and the Game, and the loss of such access may affect Game Wallets and digital items including your ability to use them. You agree that the Service Providers are not responsible for any losses or liabilities that may occur, directly or indirectly, as a result of such suspension or termination (including impacts on the legality, rights, valuation or liquidity of your digital items), and to hold the Service Providers harmless for any such losses or liability. The Service Providers have no obligation or commitment to upgrade or further develop the Service Provider Platform and/or blockchain maintaining the digital items.
