a) Subject to your acceptance of these Terms, Gameloft grants to you a non-exclusive, non-
transferable, revocable limited license to use and display the Service and related software (excluding
source and object code) for your personal non-commercial use by any machine(s) of which you are
the primary user. You agree not to use the Service for any other purpose, or to copy or distribute the
content of the Service except as specifically allowed in this agreement.

b) Gameloft Reserves the right to change these Terms in any way and at any time. However, no
amendment to these Terms shall apply to a dispute of which Gameloft had actual notice on the date of
amendment.

c) We will notify you of any modifications to these Terms by sending you a message informing you of
the modified terms and linking you to the posting at www.gameloft.com. You agree that you will read
the messages we send you to inform you of any changes. You agree that you will be considered to
have been given notice of any modifications once we post them to www.gameloft.com and that your
continued use of the Service after such notice shall be deemed an acceptance of any changes.

d) Gameloft reserves the right discontinue the Service or to change the content of the Service in any
way and at any time, with or without notice to you, without liability.

e) You agree to be bound by any application, forum, or game specific rules published within the
Service.

Service in violation of these Terms will be regarded as an infringement of Gameloft’s copyrights in and
to the Service. Gameloft reserves the right to terminate your access to the service without notice if you
violate these Terms.

g) You represent that you are 13 years old or older. Additionally, if you are between the ages of 13

authorized within the Service. Outside of the game, you may not buy or sell any Virtual Currency or

action.

provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.

14) Miscellaneous

Gameloft operates and controls the Service from its offices in France. Gameloft makes no
representation that the Service is appropriate or available in other locations. The information provided
on the Service is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any country where
such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Gameloft to any
registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to
access the Service from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for
compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. These Terms are effective
until terminated by either party. You may terminate these Terms by destroying all Service-related
materials obtained from the Service, Gameloft or any other web site or source. The privileges granted
to you under these Terms will terminate immediately and automatically without notice from Gameloft if,
in our sole discretion, you fail to comply with any term or provision of these Terms. Neither the course
of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms to any party at any
time without any notice to you. You may not assign these Terms without Gameloft's prior written
consent. These Terms contain the entire understanding of you and Gameloft, and supersede all prior
understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, and cannot be changed or
modified by you except as posted on the Service by Gameloft. If any provision of these Terms is found
to be illegal or unenforceable, the Terms will be deemed curtailed to the extent necessary to make it
legal and enforceable and will remain, as modified, in full force and effect. No waiver by either party of
any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent
breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given
any legal import. Upon Gameloft's request, you will furnish Gameloft any documentation,
substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with these Terms. You agree that these
Terms will not be construed against Gameloft by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any
and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by
the parties hereto to execute these Terms.

of action arising out of or related to use of the Service, Terms or Privacy Policy must be filed within
