12. ORDERS AND PURCHASES FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Within the Services and by virtue of your use thereof, you may purchase, with "real world" money, a license to use Virtual Items and or other goods or services. Purchases or redemptions of third party virtual currency to acquire a license to use virtual items are non-refundable.

You can license Virtual Items by visiting the purchase page in one of our games, providing your billing information, confirming the particulars of your purchase and re-affirming your agreement to these Terms. When you purchase a license to Virtual Items from our Services, We may send you a confirmatory e-mail that will contain details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and maintain a copy of it for your records. Your Story Interactive keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries. If you purchase third party virtual currency, you are agreeing to such third party's Payment Terms and agree that Your Story Interactive is not a party to the transaction.

For Virtual Items, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase a license for the relevant Services which will be accepted by us when We make the Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card or account, whichever comes first.

Your license to Virtual Items for use in Our games is a service provided by Us that commences upon acceptance by Your Story Interactive of your purchase or redemption of third party virtual currency. By ordering a license to use Virtual Items you agree and accept that Your Story Interactive will provide it to you promptly following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the European Union and you purchase a product or service from Your Story Interactive, you may have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven calendar days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (the "Cooling Off Period"). However, you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the Services begins before the end of the Cooling Off Period. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase a license to use Virtual Items from Us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our Services begins promptly once your purchase is completed.

You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using a User account registered to you. Your Story Interactive may revise the pricing for the goods and services it licenses to you through the Service at any time. You acknowledge that Your Story Interactive is not required to provide a refund for any reason, and that you will not receive money or other compensation for unused virtual items when an account is closed, whether such closure was voluntary or involuntary.

13. ADVERTISMENTS
