Terms of Use

handy-games.com GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “HandyGames”) offers games for various terminal devices via a range of App Stores.

These are games for smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices (hereinafter referred to as “Mobile Devices”). In addition, these are online games for PCs and similar terminal devices (hereinafter referred to as “Stationary Devices”). Moreover, these are games for streaming or set-top boxes, consoles, smart TVs or similar terminal devices (hereinafter referred to as “Connected Devices”) and other terminal devices. Mobile Devices, Stationary Devices, Connected Devices and other terminal devices are in these Terms of Use referred to jointly as “Terminal Devices”.

All of these games are referred to individually or jointly as “Game” or “Games” in these Terms of Use. In these Terms of Use, the users of the Games are referred to as “Users”.

In addition, available additional services are part of the Games as defined above. These additional services include the removal of advertising and the purchase of virtual currency, which can be exchanged for virtual items such as content that can be downloaded, additional packages, or other additional functions (in these Terms of Use referred to jointly as “Premium Features”) as well as additional services primarily to enable communication with other players (e.g. sharing screenshots, rankings, etc.). In accordance with the rules of the respective Games, the Premium Features offered for a fee can e.g. enable Users to use additional functions for specific periods of time.

§ 1. Scope

Within the framework of the Users’ own technical and operational possibilities HandyGames allows the Users to play the Games. HandyGames provides all services in connection with the Games solely based on these Terms of Use (hereinafter referred to as “Terms of Use”).
HandyGames objects to the validity of any general terms and conditions of Users. Any general terms and conditions of Users become only an integral part of the agreement between the User and HandyGames, if HandyGames provided its express consent to them in writing.
Additional game rules, rules for use, participation requirements and communication rules (in these Terms of Use jointly referred to as “Game Rules”) of the respective Games, if any, are published on the respective websites or in the Games. By his/her participation, the User accepts bindingly these Game Rules.
If these Terms of Use and the Game Rules are contradictory, these Terms of Use supersede the Game Rules, unless the Game Rules provide specifically for a priority ranking toward the Terms of Use.
HandyGames can utilize the services of independent third parties for the Games (in these Terms of Use referred to as “Third Party Service”) such as App Stores. No Third Party Services are services provided by third parties on behalf of HandyGames. Third Party Services are not services provided by HandyGames. HandyGames or the third party will identify these services in a suitable manner. Any issues in connection with Third Party Services are not affected by these Terms of Use. HandyGames shall not be responsible for Third Party Services. Third Party Services are potentially subject to their providers’ general terms and conditions.
Applications for Terminal Devices (in these Terms of Use referred to as “Apps”) are generally not directly provided by HandyGames but by a third party provider (in these Terms of Use referred to as “App Store”). A separate user account may be necessary for this purpose. Game scores, high scores and achievements/accomplishments or In-App-Purchases in accordance with § 5.9 (in these Terms and Conditions referred to jointly as “Game Scores”) are potentially tied to the Apps installed on the used Terminal Device and cannot be transferred. When the User deletes the App and subsequently re-installs the App or changes the Terminal Device and subsequently re-installs the App, the User has no claim against HandyGames for transferring the Game Scores to the other Terminal Device. HandyGames does not warrant that Game Scores achieved by playing on mobile data connections and/or Mobile Devices and/or Connected Devices are equivalent. In particular, graphic quality, sound quality and response times of the Game may be worse than playing via stationary data connections and/or Stationary Devices. Certain functions and contents may not be available.

§ 2. Users eligible to participate

HandyGames offers its Games only to consumers. It is prohibited to use the Games for commercial purposes. Participation in the Games is for entertainment purposes only.
Only persons of legal age or persons whose legal guardians have provided consent to the use are allowed participation.
With his/her participation in a Game, the User represents that he/she is of legal age and of legal capacity. If the User is a minor, then the legal guardian must provide consent. HandyGames is entitled to request at any time written proof of the User’s legal age or the written consent of the legal guardian.
As soon as a minor uses a Game after he/she becomes of legal age, then all Agreements in connection with him/her concluded before achieving legal age are deemed approved provided he/she does not revoke the approval toward HandyGames within two weeks upon reaching legal age.

§ 4. Limits of use / prohibited conduct

HandyGames prohibits such actions because it does not intend to commercialize game content and asset and status positions acquired within Games and it would like to ensure that Users always play in a fair manner.
The User is prohibited from selling, purchasing, renting, leasing, offering, accepting, disseminating or copying virtual items or virtual currency – in whatever form – to third parties, unless expressly permitted by the Game Rules. A system potentially provided by the Game or by HandyGames to trade virtual items and virtual currency of the Game, constitutes such an exception. In this case, the transfer of virtual items or virtual currency from one User to the other is only permitted, if the transfer takes place – no matter if within or outside the Game – without consideration in exchange or if the consideration consists solely of virtual items or virtual currency of the same Game and these are transferred within the Game itself by a function provided by the Game. The trade or exchange of virtual currency and virtual items against consideration in any form other than virtual currency and virtual items of the same Game is expressly prohibited.
The User may not utilize any ancillary means, which maliciously modify Game Scores or game process (specifically so-called “bots”, “hacks” or “cheats”). In addition, the User may not offer or promote such ancillary means. In particular, the User is prohibited from using third party software or other applications to obtain virtual currency, Premium Features or other benefits such as the systematic or automatic control of a Game or of individual game functions. The same applies to the intentional utilization of program errors (“exploits”) for one’s own benefit.
The User is not permitted to add elements to a Game or to change, delete or modify in any other manner any game elements without the express prior written consent of HandyGames. In particular, the User is not permitted to copy, remove or otherwise utilize any graphic elements or to try to decompile the source code of Games. This does not apply to the extent that decompiling has been permitted in accordance with Section 69e of the German Copyright Act (UrhG).
The User will refrain from anything that could endanger the performance and availability of the Games or any other services.
The User is not entitled to use any means, mechanisms or software in connection with any Game or any other services provided by HandyGames, which can disturb the function and the Game’s process. In particular, the User is not permitted to block, overwrite or modify the contents generated by HandyGames unless HandyGames has permitted it specifically in writing.
The User is prohibited from transferring his/her Games to third parties without the prior written consent of HandyGames. Any transfer consent of HandyGames does not entitle to transfer for a fee provided this has not been expressly permitted in the consent.
HandyGames provides the Games solely for use in accordance with these Terms of Use.
By using the services, the User will not violate any applicable legal provisions such as the criminal code and youth protection provisions or third party rights and the User assures not to contribute or transmit any illegal or immoral contents to the Games. This includes specifically any contents (including member names, etc.), which are
– insulting, racist, sexist, pornographic, obscene, inciting, glorify violence or war,
– which are suitable to cause serious moral harm to children and young people or which threaten their wellbeing,
– which can damage the reputation of HandyGames and its products,
– suitable to violate copyrights, patents, brands or any other intellectual property rights, the rights to a person’s own image and other personal rights or third party rights.
The User is not permitted to disseminate commercial advertising for third party products or programs and unsolicited advertising within or otherwise using the Games. The User will honour the privacy of third parties. In addition, the User is not permitted to disseminate within or otherwise using the Games unauthorized any third party work that is protected by copyrights or other rights.
HandyGames is entitled to stop such violations against this § 4. In addition, HandyGames is entitled to delete or block the contents of the User. The same applies to definite indications of a violation against these Terms of Use or the Game Rules or to contents, which are otherwise illegal. There is no entitlement to the recovery of deleted content. Such claim is also voided if the restoration is not possible for technical reasons.
Therefore, HandyGames is authorized to implement suitable measures and programs to uncover any contractual violations of Users. HandyGames can set a deadline for a written statement for the User, in the event of a justifiable reason. If the statement of the User is unsuitable to dispel the suspicion of a violation or culpable act of the User, then HandyGames is entitled to assume a culpable violation of contractual duties. HandyGames reserves itself the right to check individual actions for plausibility and compatibility with §§ 4.1 to 4.10 and – if necessary – to stop these actions.
HandyGames is entitled to transmit User data and User content to third parties and/or delete these provided it is permitted under legal provisions or mandated by court or government order. The same applies to the disclosure of User information.
The provisions of this § 4 do not limit the termination right of HandyGames – particularly the right to terminate effective immediately – in accordance with § 10. In addition, they do not limit the right of HandyGames to exercise the virtual domiciliary right.

§ 5. Virtual currency / Premium Features / payment transactions / data connections

In general, the User can play the Games for free. In addition, in connection with the Games, the User can purchase virtual currency and Premium Features via In-App-Purchase. The User will generally be expressly notified if the service is not free. Neither this agreement nor the possession of a Game give the User the right to use any sequels of the Game or expansions, adventure packs or similar additional products without payment of applicable fees.
In general, Users have the option to purchase virtual currency for the Games for a fee. In this context, the Users generally acquire virtual currency for one or several specific Games. This is dependent on the availability for the respective Game. Any virtual currency acquired by the User can be exchanged among others for items and/or other Premium Features. In addition to receiving virtual currency, HandyGames can offer Users depending on the Game the option to utilize Premium Features in exchange for paying a fee. HandyGames informs the User of the respective features, requirements and prices of the virtual currency or Premium Features prior to the User’s use in the respective Game.
The Games may require different technical equipment (e.g. graphics card etc.) in order to be able to utilize them without any problems. HandyGames recommends to the User to try out the services prior to purchasing virtual currency and/or Premium Features. This way, the User can determine whether his/her Terminal Device meets the technical requirements for trouble-free use of services.
Children under the age of 7 are excluded from the use of the paid services. If the User is older than 7 years, but below the age of 18, he/she needs the consent of his/her legal guardian to purchase virtual currency and/or Premium Features or he/she needs spending money provided by his/her legal guardian at his/her free disposal. For this reason, without prior proof of consent of his/her legal guardian, HandyGames allows this User only to purchase virtual currency and/or Premium Features for EUR 60.00/month.
The prices as published on the App Stores and in the Games will apply.
The User makes an offer to purchase virtual currency or Premium Features by selecting the type and quantity and by clicking the order button within the Game. Any virtual currency or Premium Features the User purchased are credited within the Game. In general, virtual currency does not expire for as long as the use agreement between User and HandyGames is in force. If it is possible to refund credit balances of virtual currency in various cases of termination of the use agreement, then it is mentioned expressly in these Terms of Use. With regard to the acquisition of virtual currency or Premium Features being done via In-App-Purchase in accordance with § 5.9, the terms and conditions of the App Store used apply as a matter of priority.
Virtual currencies and Premium Features, specifically virtual items are not material things in accordance with Section 90 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Therefore, HandyGames does not transfer ownership to their Users but only a right to use. To the extent that the term “selling” is used in connection with the purchase of virtual currency or Premium Features or when exchanging virtual currency for Premium Features, then this specifies the act of granting a right of use. The terms “buyer”, “seller”, “sale”, “purchase” and similar terms have accordingly the same meanings. The scope and duration of the granted right of use depend on the type of virtual currency and the Premium Feature. The right of use ends at the latest at the time the agreement to use the Games concluded between User and HandyGames is terminated. Virtual currency is not real money. Moreover, virtual currency is no means of payment or e-money in accordance with the banking laws and specifically in accordance with the Payment Services Regulatory Act (ZAG). HandyGames prohibits an exchange of this virtual currency into real money (for more information see § 4.7). The User cannot exchange into money the virtual currency he/she purchased subject to any constellation regulated in these Terms of Use. The same applies to virtual currency, which the User may have won while playing the Games.
The Premium Features acquired through virtual currency or real money cannot be changed back to virtual currency or real money subject to any constellation regulated in these Terms of Use. Premium features used in the Games can be subject to run-times and expire at the end of this period. The respective effective periods are clearly identified during the purchase.
A use fee for an App may become due and payable prior to the installation of the Game. In this case and where Games include virtual currency and Premium Features in accordance with § 5.2, HandyGames embeds Third Party Services of an App Store to enable the purchase of virtual currency directly in the App through the App Store (in these Terms of Use referred to as “In-App-Purchase”). The User enters into a purchase agreement with the App Store in the case of an In-App-Purchase. In this case, the User has not right of withdrawal with regard to HandyGames. The terms and conditions of the App Store used apply as a matter of priority.
The User can only use the payment systems established at the respective App Store.
The User shall pay all fees, if User is at fault or User’s account is insufficiently covered and consequently the App Store receives charge-backs and/or is charged for cancellations by the later cancellation of debits or credit card collections. HandyGames is entitled to request from User these expenses together with the original fee in case the App Store claims such amounts from HandyGames. If the User is responsible for any reverse charges (e.g. for insufficient funds in the User’s account), then the User is obliged to reimburse HandyGames for any proven, reasonable damage HandyGames sustained thereby. HandyGames’ claim for additional damages shall remain unaffected thereby.
The User can only set-off any fees if the counterclaims against HandyGames are undisputed or legally determined by a court of law. The User may only exercise the right of retention, if the counterclaim is based on the same contractual relationship. The User’s assignment of claims against HandyGames to any third parties is excluded.
HandyGames can offer the User alternative payment methods, by which the User uses Third Party Services and which may require considerations other than monetary payments. To the extent, the User utilizes Third Party Services the User concludes an additional agreement between the User and the corresponding third party. Such agreements may potentially include third party terms and conditions. The contents of these agreements and these terms and conditions are beyond the influence of HandyGames and HandyGames has generally no knowledge of these contents.
Games can be played via landline connections and mobile data connections. HandyGames points out specifically that the Games require in part a high data volume and the User may incur costs payable to the operator of the data connection. The prices for the utilization of data are described in the corresponding provider’s description of services. HandyGames cannot provide any support in connection therewith.
HandyGames is entitled to reduce and/or increase the prices for virtual currency and premiums features or it may offer new products, services, or invoicing modalities permanently or only for a limited time.

§ 6. Social Plugins

The User’s primary duty is the payment of any fees that are potentially due and payable.
HandyGames protects its systems against virus attacks. Despite all precautions, a virus attack can never be fully excluded. In addition, it may happen that unauthorized third parties send e-mails using the name of HandyGames without consent of HandyGames. These e-mails may for example contain viruses or so-called spyware or links to web contents that contain viruses or spyware. These acts are beyond the influence of HandyGames. Therefore, the User should scan all incoming e-mails sent under the name of HandyGames for viruses. The same applies to e-mails of other Users.
HandyGames is not responsible for damages or the loss of data, which can occur on the User’s Terminal Device by installing software that is not from HandyGames.
The User agrees that he/she will under no circumstances use unauthorized the Terminal Device or Game installation of any other User. If a third party uses a Terminal Device or Game installation after gaining access because the User did not sufficiently secure these from third party access, then the User must allow being treated as if he/she has acted on his/her own. If the User does not play Games with his/her own Terminal Device or his/her own data connection then the User must obtain consent from the respective owner. For this event, the User guarantees HandyGames that such consent was provided.
The User can contact HandyGames through the media and addresses listed under § 3 “Right to withdrawal”. For reasons of evidence, HandyGames recommends that User sends in text form (e.g. by e-mail) any significant matters (such as complaints, etc.), provided these Terms of Use do not require any other form.
HandyGames points out expressly that customer service representatives and personnel ordered to monitor compliance with Game Rules are not authorized to agree on any changes to the use agreement.
The User is obliged to maintain his/her Terminal Device in a condition that allows using the Games. HandyGames provides system requirements and compatibility information to the best of its knowledge. To use the Games, the User’s Terminal Device must comply at least with the minimum system requirements and he/she must have an Internet connection for the use of certain functions; both is not provided by HandyGames. Due to the multitude of Terminal Devices, system configurations, network operators and operating systems, it is impossible for HandyGames to check and ensure the Games’ ability to work in all constellations. HandyGames recommends to the User to consult in addition to the system requirements and compatibility information published by HandyGames in accordance with the best of its knowledge also discussion forums and lists with frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the respective Games. It can happen that Games cannot be used with all hardware, Mobile Devices or Connected Devices or Games may be subject to limitations even if this is not specifically stated in the system requirements and the compatibility information.

§ 7. Advancements / quality / roll-back/ beta tests / deficiencies

It is in the nature of the offered Games that these are continuously advanced and updated. Changes can be the result of loading updates, which ensure and improve playability. By changing and advancing Games, HandyGames intends to provide Users fun with the Games for as long as possible. Therefore, HandyGames grants the User access to Games in their available form or version. Changes and advancements can affect system requirements and compatibility requirements. The User has no claim for maintaining or reconstruction of a specific condition of scope of services of the Game. Any of the User’s claims for deficiency, which refer to the technical playability of the Game itself, shall remain unaffected thereby. Due to the continuous advancement of the Games, HandyGames reserves itself the right to offer new virtual currencies and Premium Features and/or to remove them from the offer, to change them or to provide them in the free base version. The User consents for HandyGames to change the Games and virtual currencies continuously and to add, delete, re-introduce and change Premium Features. In addition, the User consents for HandyGames to be able and to change properties, functions, or capacities of every game element or the virtual currencies and Premium Features at their own discretion (which can improve or reduce the effectiveness and function of Premium Features significantly, which can change their distribution or which can remove them entirely). In case the User wishes not to use an updated version as aforementioned, it is at her/his discretion to not update the Game installed on her/his Terminal Device.
HandyGames points out that the Games are in accordance with the state of the art but any absence of defects in the Games cannot be guaranteed. For this reasons, the User must take into consideration that games do not work flawlessly in each function. HandyGames tries its best to provide games without glitches, to ensure complete playability of games. However, any minor software glitches in the Games – as with any software – cannot be completely excluded. The User can only claim any damages for deficient Games if playability or use is seriously and lastingly impaired.
The User knows that Games can be subject to technical limitations. This applies specifically to the maximum memory capacity or maximum size of data.
HandyGames is entitled to delete data and/or refuse storage of additional data if the technical limits are exceeded and in consideration of the provisions of these Terms of Use. HandyGames will notify the User prior to deleting the data.
In exceptional cases such as within the framework of updates or error rectifications, it may be required to reset a game to an earlier status in order to prevent any greater damage (in these Terms of Use referred to as “Roll-back“). In this context, the game progress, Game Score, high scores and achievements/accomplishments, etc. is reset to a corresponding earlier status; any changes in the interim or any developments are lost. To the extent technically possible, HandyGames will restore any virtual currency or Premium Features the User loses because of such rollback. Further claims of the User are excluded unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use. HandyGames is entitled but not obliged to grant individual Users a voluntary bonus e.g. in form of virtual currency or Premium Features. It is at HandyGames’ discretion to grant such a bonus and it does not oblige HandyGames to grant a bonus during future rollbacks to other Users or the same Users.
HandyGames can offer the User for the purpose of testing participation in or use of Games, game elements, services and contents not ready to market (in these Terms of Use referred to as “Beta Test”). Beta tests can include programming errors – even serious ones – known or unknown to HandyGames. These may lead to the Game or the User’s Terminal Device to crash. Within the framework of beta tests, HandyGames may delete or add contents at any time among others to search for errors and to improve the game experience. Furthermore, it can reset Game Scores, install backups or create specific Game Scores. The User is not entitled to the restoration of a specific Game status. HandyGames can extend, shorten any beta test in whole or in part at any time.
The User will always document in a meaningful manner any defects occurring in the Games and the User will specifically report these in writing logging the displayed error messages. Prior to reporting any error, the User should consult the game or service instructions and perhaps any other support for troubleshooting provided by HandyGames (particularly lists with frequently asked questions, discussion forums about problems). In any possible rectification of defects, the User will support HandyGames to the best of his/her abilities.
Excluded from warranty are generally such errors, which occur through external influences such as operating errors by the User, force majeure or any modifications, not carried out by HandyGames or any other manipulations.
HandyGames does not assume any guarantees in a legal sense.

§ 8. Limited liability / availability

If HandyGames requires payment of a fee for the services, then HandyGames shall only have an unlimited liability for damages if it acted wilfully and with gross negligence. In the event of any violation of significant contractual duties, HandyGames shall also be liable in the event of slight negligence. Significant contractual duties or so-called cardinal duties in accordance with the law are such duties, which only allow proper execution of the agreement and on the fulfilment of which the User can depend.
To the extent HandyGames provides free services, HandyGames shall only be liable for damage compensation if it caused the damage by gross negligence or wilfully.
The liability of HandyGames to pay damages is always limited to the foreseeable damage in case of a violation of significant contractual duties.
The typical foreseeable damage in accordance with the above-referenced § 8.3 shall be no more than EUR 50.00 per User.
The above-referenced liability limitations do not apply to the liability in the event of injury to life, body and health or in case HandyGames assumed a guarantee or in case of liability in accordance with the Product Liability Act. HandyGames’ liability in accordance with Section § 44a of the German Telecommunication Act (TKG) shall remain unaffected thereby.
HandyGames shall be liable for advice only if the advice given concerns a problem with its Games.
A change of the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the Customer is not connected with the above-referenced regulations.
On an annual average, HandyGames guarantees availability of 95% for each Game and related service that requires server services. Exempt therefrom are periods, during which the server for the individual Games cannot be reached because of technical or other problems beyond the influence of HandyGames (e.g. force majeure, culpability of third parties, etc.). The periods during which regular maintenance takes place are also exempt therefrom. HandyGames can limit access to Games, if required for the security of the network operation, the maintenance of the network integrity, particularly to avoid any serious malfunctions of the network, software or stored data; these periods are not considered in the calculation of availability. HandyGames’ liability for non-availability of the server shall remain unaffected in the case of intent and gross negligence. The Games of HandyGames may not be retrievable worldwide. Whether the Games can be retrieved fully or in a limited manner may depend on legal regulations and licensing requirements in particular
The above-referenced indemnifications or limitations to liability apply also to the liability of employees, workers, staff members, representatives and agents of HandyGames, in particular to the benefit of shareholders, employees, representatives, company bodies and their members with regard to their personal liability.

§ 9. Intellectual property rights and copyrights / user-generated contents

HandyGames is the exclusive owner or exclusive owner of the rights of all contents of the respective Games. The content is protected by national and international law and particularly by copyright. The unauthorized dissemination, copying, deletion or any other violation of intellectual property rights and copyrights of HandyGames are prosecuted under both civil and criminal law.
Within the framework of the use of the Games, HandyGames provides software to the User. HandyGames grants the User the non-exclusive right limited to the period of use of the Games for this software within the framework of a non-commercial use on the User’s respective Terminal Device. The User may only copy this software for the purpose of backup and archiving for personal purposes, unless HandyGames permits the User explicitly the passing on of the software. The User agrees to retain the information about the intellectual property, which is marked on the software, also on copies of the software or in this software and to comply with all laws applicable to the use of the software.
The User is not permitted to copy the Game or the software in whole or in part (with the exception of any necessary backup copy) or to disseminate, to sell, auction, rent, lease, modify, or develop derived works, to edit, translate, execute, exhibit, sub-license or generally transfer the Game or the software. The User is not permitted to copy the Game or the software for a fee or make it accessible to third parties for a fee and to lease or rent the Game or the software or the rights thereof to third parties against payment of a fee or to transfer it in any other form to third parties for a fee or modify, translate, apply reverse engineering, to decompile or disassemble or to develop any other works derived on the basis of the Game or software.
HandyGames and/or its suppliers retain the rights on the intellectual property of all contents of the Games as well as any other intellectual property rights on the game or software.
Any remaining agreements on further licensing provisions for the Game or software, which the User potentially accepts prior to using the Games, shall remain unaffected by the above-referenced provisions.
HandyGames permits the User to use the contents of the Games of HandyGames to produce templates for user-generated contents and to disseminate these in a limited manner provided the Games and HandyGames depreciated thereby. This permission expressly does not refer to the source code or any other public elements of the game and particularly not the logic of the program. Templates refer to game contents, game scenes, characters, texts, places, maps, graphic images, animation, sounds, movies, and works of music and images. Such user-generated contents are for example videos commented by the User during his/her own game session (“Let’s-Play-Videos”) or the parts of images from the game in social networks or the accessibility granted on fan sites or fan forums. HandyGames permits the use of templates strictly for personal but not business or commercial purposes. This permission is non-transferable. In this context, any advertising the operator places on a platform independent of the User – e.g. introductory ads on video portals – are not deemed commercial use, if it is beyond the User’s realm of influence. HandyGames has the right to revoke this permission at any time. Any further and specifically commercial use is only permitted upon prior written consent of HandyGames.

§ 10. Contractual term / termination with notice / virtual domiciliary right / extraordinary termination

The agreements between the User and HandyGames (e.g. use agreement for individual Games) are concluded for an unspecified time unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Both Parties have the right to terminate the agreements by giving an advance notice of seven workdays unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The User can delete Games at any time. If the User deletes a Game, the User terminates simultaneously the use agreement for such Game without complying with the termination period. Any virtual currency acquired up to this time will be forfeited without the claim for reimbursement if the User terminates in this manner.
If the User terminates the use contract, then HandyGames will not pay back any fees already paid and it does not pay out in real money any virtual currency balances credited to the User subject to any constellation regulated in these Terms of Use.
HandyGames reserves itself the right to exercise its virtual domiciliary right at any time.
The right of the Parties to terminate the use agreement(s) at any time for cause effective immediately (extraordinary termination) remains unaffected by the above-referenced provisions. In particular, HandyGames can terminate this agreement for cause, ifa. the User violates culpably the laws, these Terms of Use, the Game Rules and/or use rules for virtual currencies or Premium Features, and the User continues to act in the same or similar manner despite having received a warning letter;
b. during the use of any of the Games, the User realizes the termination reason of § 10.6 letter a.
Termination for cause is permissible in case of serious violations without the need for any advance warning letter.
A serious violation is any violation, which makes it unreasonable for HandyGames to maintain the agreement.
In the following cases, it is unreasonable for HandyGames to maintain the agreement:a. if the User violates the criminal code;
b. if the User uses a Game in an impermissible manner (cf. above § 4);
c. if during the use of any of the Games, the User realizes one of the termination reasons of § 10.9 letters a. or b.
If the User is responsible for the extraordinary termination, then the User shall have no claim for reimbursement to the extent the User has already received the services to be provided by HandyGames. In particular, any virtual currencies or Premium Features the User has already ordered or received from HandyGames are not paid back.
If the User is responsible for the extraordinary termination, then the User is not permitted to further play Games of HandyGames, unless he/she has the express prior written permission of HandyGames. If HandyGames finds that this ban was violated, then HandyGames has the right to block the User’s access to the Game(s) permanently, where applicable, and terminate the agreement with the User for cause, without prior announcement.
If HandyGames is responsible for the extraordinary termination and the User still has virtual currency in the respective Game, then HandyGames will credit the User the virtual currency to another Game offered by HandyGames and chosen by the User. Any repayment in cash is excluded unless the credit for another Game of HandyGames is in an exceptional case unreasonable for the User, e.g. because no equivalent or similar Game is offered. In this case, HandyGames will reimburse the User the full value of any virtual currency the User paid and which is still in the respective Game. Further claims of the User are excluded unless otherwise specified in these Terms of Use.
HandyGames has the right to a extraordinary termination with regard to specific Games, provided HandyGames loses authorization to distribute the respective Game, e.g. because of the termination of a respective licensing agreement between HandyGames and a respective licensor. In this case, HandyGames can terminate effective at the time of termination of its licensing agreement all agreements in reference to the use of the Game (e.g. use agreement, agreement on the provision and use of virtual currency or Premium Features). Other rights to terminate shall remain unaffected thereby. § 10.6 applies accordingly.
Every termination must be in written form, whereby the written form is maintained by e-mail. Upon request, the reasons for extraordinary termination must be disclosed immediately in writing if the termination notice did not specify them already. Any standard termination notice does not require specification of the termination reasons.

§ 11. Changes to the Terms of Use

HandyGames reserves itself the right to change or amend these Terms of Use at any time effective in the future provided it seems necessary and it does not affect the User adversely under the principle of equity and good faith. In particular, any changes in the legal situation may require a change of these Terms of Use. Moreover, any new court decisions constitute a change in the legal situation. Any changes and advancements of the Games may necessitate a change or an amendment to these Terms of Use as well.
Any change or amendment will be announced in a suitable manner at least six weeks prior to its effective date. In general, the information about the modification of the Terms of Use is announced by e-mail or in the Games.
The User has the right to object to any change or amendment within six weeks after the date of publication and possibility of acknowledgment. In case of a timely objection, both Parties are entitled to an extraordinary right to terminate the agreement in accordance with the termination provisions specified in this Agreement. Other rights to terminate shall remain unaffected thereby. If the User does not object within the objection period or if the User continues to use the Games respectively services, then the change or amendment is deemed accepted and becomes an integral element of the agreement.
HandyGames will inform the User of the changes in the Terms of Use and the possibility to object and cancel, of the deadline and the legal consequences, particularly the consequences of non-objection.

§ 12. Miscellaneous

If one Party delays, waives or fails to enforce his/her rights within the framework of these Terms of Use or the Party grants deadlines to the other Party, then the Party does not hinder the applicability of the respective right.

Any virtual currency at the time in the User’s Games will be reimbursed.
