Germany

The following terms apply in addition to the European Union terms above.

1. Changes of Terms

In deviation from Sec. 4 of the Terms of Service, the following applies:

We may amend the Terms in accordance with this paragraph to the extent that this is done (i) to implement changes in legal requirements or case law, (ii) to implement changes in technical requirements, (iii) to maintain the operation of the Services, (iv) to adapt to changing market conditions, and (v) for the benefit of the user. An adjustment will only be made to the extent that it does not shift the contractual balance between us to your detriment. We will inform you of an adjustment at least six weeks in advance by means of a message within the game or by e-mail. You may object to the adjustment. If you do not object within six weeks after receipt of the notification of the adjustment, you are deemed to have consented to the change. In our notification of the adaptation, we will also inform you separately about the six-week period and the legal consequences of your silence.

2. Refunds

In deviation from Sec. 6 and 7 of the Terms of Service, we will refund any purchased but unused Virtual Items in the event (i) we terminate the agreement for convenience or (ii) you terminate the agreement because of our breach of the agreement. We will also make refunds if required in the context of your statutory withdrawal right or your warranty rights (see Sec. 6 of the jurisdiction-specific terms for Germany below).

3. Termination

In deviation from Sec. 11 and 12 of the Terms of Service, we may terminate the Services (including the Game) for convenience with 14 days’ notice, and the statutory right of extraordinary termination for cause remains unaffected.

4. Reverse Engineering

In deviation from the second Bullet Point of Sec. 12 of the Terms of Service, you may decompile the Services to the extent required to make contractual use of them (including troubleshooting) and/or to the extent required to obtain interface information needed to make the Service interoperable with an independently developed piece of software, and we have not provided you the required information upon your request against payment of our expenses in providing such information. For clarity, in the event of any such permitted decompilation, the statutory restrictions of Sec 69e of the German Copyright Act apply.

5. Indemnity

In deviation from Sec. 13 of the Terms of Service, your obligation to indemnify applies only in the event of your culpable (negligent or intentional) breach of the Terms of Service.

6. Warranty

In deviation from Sec. 14 of the Terms of Service, the following applies:

To the extent we provide any Service free of charge, we do not assume any warranty except where we have maliciously concealed a defect.

To the extent we provide a Service against a charge, our statutory warranty obligations remain unaffected, except that we are liable for damages only pursuant to Sec. 7 of the jurisdiction-specific terms for Germany.

7. Limitation of Liability

In deviation from Sec. 15 of the Terms of Service, the following applies:

To the extent we provide any Service free of charge, we are liable pursuant to applicable law only for intent and gross negligence.

a) Our statutory liability is unlimited for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, violation of a guarantee (which must be expressly designated as such), and under the German Product Liability Act.

b) Except for the cases described in subsection a), we are only be liable for slight negligence in case of breach of an essential obligation. Essential obligations are those obligations that must be performed in order to achieve the purpose of the contract and on the performance of which you may therefore generally rely.

c) In the cases set forth in subsection b), we are only be liable for typical and foreseeable damages.

d) Otherwise, we are not be liable for slight negligence.

e) You must back up your data regularly. To the extent that we are liable for a loss of data pursuant to this Sec.7, such liability is limited to the restoration effort which would have been required if you had regularly made backup copies in accordance with the importance of the affected data.

f) The above limitations of liability shall apply accordingly in favor of our affiliates and our and their shareholders, legal representatives, employees, vicarious agents and assistants.

Our agreement is governed by German law, excluding the CISG. The court at your place of residence has jurisdiction for any dispute arising out of or in connection with our agreement. You may also bring a lawsuit against us in any other competent court (e.g. at our seat).

UNITED STATES

Section 18 “Other Terms” above is modified as follows:

This section replaces the “Applicable Law and Jurisdiction” portion of Section 18 above:

Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by the laws of the United States and of the State of California. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may institute a proceeding for equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Agreement to Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. This section includes an agreement to arbitrate and an agreement that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or prior versions thereof, including any question regarding existence, breach, interpretation, validity, enforcement, or termination of these Terms; the Services; the Game; Nuverse Content; your relationship with us; the threatened or actual termination of your access to the Services or Game payments made to you or payments made or allegedly owed to you; or any other claims (collectively, “Covered Matters”) will be brought in arbitration only in your individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.

Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute over any Covered Matters between you and Nuverse, you will first contact Nuverse and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action. This is a condition precedent to proceeding in arbitration. To initiate the informal process, you must contact us at [email protected] ​, and include your contact information and a written description of the dispute in the email. You must then allow sixty (60) days to pass, during which we will attempt to reach an amicable resolution of your issue.

Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) arising out of or relating in any way to any Covered Matters, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, except as expressly provided herein.

YOU UNDERSTAND, ACKNOWLEDGE, AND AGREE THAT YOU AND NUVERSE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY AND ALL COVERED MATTERS, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

This arbitration agreement applies equally to you and Nuverse. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by Nuverse for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures if the Claim and the parties are within the jurisdiction of such small claims court. If you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use the Services by sending an email to [email protected]​ with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.”

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement, and that you and Nuverse are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of these Terms.

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to:

Nuverse (Hong Kong) Limited, Unit 1003, 10/F., Tower 2, Silvercord, 30 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Email Address: [email protected]

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules including, if you are an individual, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. If you are not an individual or have used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The AAA's rules are available at ​www.adr.org​ or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Services on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.

This section replaces the “Class Action Waiver” portion of Section 18 above:

Class Action Waiver. You acknowledge and agree that any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”) except that an individual may seek in the arbitration public injunctive relief, and the AAA may include such relief in the award, where applicable. You and Nuverse mutually and expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.

If this Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable such that certain Covered Matters must proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such Covered Matters must be litigated in state or federal civil court of competent jurisdiction, not in arbitration. You and Nuverse further agree that such Covered Matters will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration between you and Nuverse. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Nuverse each waive any right to a jury trial.

This section is amended to Section 18 above:

Exports. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly the Services and/or other information or materials provided by Nuverse hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. comprehensively embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country (currently: Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Syria), (b) to any governments of such countries, or (c) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List.

JAPAN

The following paragraph is added to Section 2 (Age and Accepting the Terms):

If you are over 13 but under the age of majority prescribed in Civil Code ("Minors") and use the services required to pay a fee within the Services ("Paid Services"), you shall comply with the monthly payment limit separately provided to you by us. Money which you disposed in the Paid Services within such monthly payment limit shall be considered as either of the followings and shall be irrevocable in accordance with Paragraph 3 of Article 5 of Civil Code:

(1) Property which Minors’ parents or the statutory agent permit its disposition by specifying the purpose thereof and disposed in the Paid Services to the extent of such purpose; or

(2) Property which Minors’ parents or the statutory agent permit its disposition without specifying any purpose.

The second paragraph of Section 7 (Fees and Refund) is modified to state:

The in-game currency separately published as Prepaid Payment Instruments in the page titled "Notice in accordance with Payment Services Act" shall be considered as Prepaid Payment Instruments for Own Business defined in paragraph 4 of Article 3 of Payment Services Act and issued by Bytedance KK in the Game as consideration for cash or cash equivalents. You understand and agree that Virtual Items which you may acquire by using in-game currency of the Game shall be considered as being provided to you upon acquisition of the Virtual Items and shall not be considered as Prepaid Payment Instruments. Nuverse and Bytedance KK will not provide a refund or any equivalent thereto of in-game currency, Virtual Items or any other contents of the Services unless otherwise required by applicable law. Your purchase will be subject to the applicable payment policy of Apple or Google.

Section 15 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) does not apply to your loss or damage related to or arising from our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 18 (Other Terms. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction) is modified to state:

These Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by the laws of Japan. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms, including any question regarding existence, validity or termination of these Terms, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction as first instance of the Tokyo District Court.
