These Terms of Service and any dispute arising out of or related to it or Privacy Policy or the Service shall be governed in all respects by California law, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any claim or dispute between you and JOYCITY that arises in whole or in part from your use of the Service shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non convenience with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of California.
While playing GameKiss games, you will have the opportunity to visit our online store and use virtual currency (hereinafter referred to as "GKash") to license a variety of virtual items ("Cash Items") that can be purchased at the in-game “Cash Item Shop” and used while playing various games. In order to obtain GKash, you may be required to provide the Company or another payment service designated by the Company with your payment mechanism information and other information related to your payment mechanism transaction, including but not limited to your billing and shipping address on record with the applicable credit card company and credit card authorization information. For each one (1) U.S. Dollar that you authorize us to charge to your account, you will be awarded one hundred (100) units of GKash; provided, however, that we reserve the right in our sole discretion at any time to change the amount of units you will be entitled to for each one (1) U.S. Dollar. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ONCE YOU AUTHORIZE THE COMPANY OR ANOTHER DESIGNATED PAYMENT SERVICE TO CHARGE YOUR PAYMENT MECHANISM FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT, SUCH AMOUNT SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE REFUNDABLE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UPON TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT FOR ANY REASON, TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, TERMINATION OF THE CASH SHOP AND/OR THE DISCONTINUATION OF THE SERVICE. You may also be awarded Bonus (Event) GKash for use in the Cash Item Shop or through some of our promoted events. These Bonus (Event) GKash have no real world value but may be exchanged for designated Cash Items in the Online Store. Certain Cash Items may have an expiration date. Each Cash Item that you obtain using GKash or Bonus (Event) GKash will be stored in your Account until the earlier of that Cash Item's expiration date, your Account’s expiration or termination date, or such date when the Service ends. REGARDLESS OF THE CONSIDERATION OFFERED OR PAID IN EXCHANGE FOR CASH ITEMS, YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS TO THE CASH ITEMS. You agree that all information that you provide to us or a designated third-party payment service will be accurate, current and complete. You hereby agree to pay all charges resulting from your use of the Service at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to such transactions. You understand that we may suspend or terminate your account if for any reason a charge you authorize us to make to your payment mechanism cannot be processed or is returned to us unpaid. If such event occurs, you are obliged immediately to remit the payment for such charge through the use of another credit card or other payment mechanism. The Company shall not be responsible or liable for any credit card or bank-related charges or fees related to any of your transactions. The Company reserves the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any Cash Item and/or to refuse to provide you with any Cash Item. Verification of certain information applicable to a transaction involving a Cash Item may be required prior to our acceptance thereof. Price and availability of the Cash Items are subject to change without prior notice. You agree that you cannot and have no right to sell or otherwise transfer any of the Cash Items, or any other content or information included in the Service, in whole or in part, to any third person or entity whatsoever, including, without limitation, on Internet auction sites or in return for anything of value (including real money) or otherwise. We shall not be responsible or liable for any problem of item transaction among users.
You are prohibited from offering any Account and Items for sale or trade. Such offer is a violation of this Agreement and may result in suspension of the Account.
Some purchased Game Items may expire within a set period of time from the date of purchase of which the term will be set at the sole and absolute discretion of GameKiss. Upon expiration, the Items will be removed from your GameKiss Account without prior notification. Knowing Game Item expiration dates is the sole responsibility of each GameKiss Member. You further agree that there are no refunds or restorations available for any intentionally or accidentally lost, sold, traded, misplaced, or deleted Game Items. If any of your Game Items are removed or deleted prior to the expiration date due to a GameKiss.com game update, program upgrade, game policy update, or any other acceptable reasons, you should send a report to Customer Support within seven (7) days of the alleged loss and we will investigate the issue and offer a resolution, possibly including compensation in the form of an identical or comparable Premium Item or an equivalent amount of GKash. By purchasing items or GKash, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Use Agreement.
The Company strives to provide quality free-to-play games via GameKiss. Users are not required to purchase in-game items to fully enjoy the service; however, users may charge GKash to their accounts using Payment Gateways to purchase Cash Items. The Company is not affiliated with any Payment Gateways. Before using a Payment Gateway service, the Company recommends that you review their Terms of Service carefully and be sure that you agree to their terms. When you submit Payment Gateway information to the Company, you identify to us that you are the authorized user of such a Payment Gateway account being used to acquire GKash.
