Fees and Purchase Terms
Virtual Items
You may purchase with "real world" money a limited, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable license to use (a) "virtual currency," including but not limited to virtual cash, in-game coins and all other kinds of in-game monies, all for use in the games; (b) virtual in-game items (virtual currency and virtual in-game items referred to collectively as "Virtual Items"); and (c) other goods or services ("Merchandise") within the Services for your personal and non-commercial entertainment. You are only allowed to purchase Virtual Items from DC+ or its authorized partners through the Services, not in any other way.
You understand that DC+ has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify or eliminate Virtual Items and may revoke your access to them at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. DC+ shall have no liability to you or any Third Party in the event that DC+ exercises any such rights. You have no claim, right, title, proprietary or ownership interest in any of the Virtual Items regardless of any consideration paid for those virtual items.
Except when explicitly authorized by DC+, (i) transfers of Virtual Items to other user accounts are strictly prohibited; (ii) outside of the Services, you may not buy or sell any Virtual Items for "real world" money or otherwise exchange items for value; and (iii) DC+ does not recognize any such purported transfers of Virtual Items or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears in the Services. Any attempt to do any of the foregoing is in violation of these Terms of Services and will result in an automatic termination of your rights to use the Virtual Items and may result in termination of your Account. All Virtual Items are forfeited if your Account is terminated or suspended for any reason, or if DC+ discontinues providing the Services.
You agree that you will not assert or bring any claim against DC+, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or licensors relating to (i) a claim that you own any Virtual Items; or (ii) a claim for an alleged monetary value of Virtual Items lost upon deletion or suspension of your account or modification, termination or expiration of these terms.
Fees, Refunds and Return Policy
All sales through the Service are final. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees and other charges (including, without limitation, virtual items) are not refundable in whole or in part. You are fully liable for all charges to your account, including any unauthorized charges. DC+ does not issue any refunds or offer any exchanges of any products purchased on or through the Services.
IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED, RECEIVE MONEY, OR BE OTHERWISE COMPENSATED FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS OR OTHER GAME ASSETS WHEN THE SERVICES ARE TERMINATED FOR ANY REASON AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.
DC+ may, at any time, revise or change the pricing, availability, specifications, content, descriptions or features of the game or any products sold through the Services. The inclusion of any products through the Services at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products will be available at any other time. All such changes will be effective immediately upon posting of such new product prices to the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that DC+ may update the Services and the games you have installed on your computer or mobile device with or without notifying you.

DC+ SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR MORE THAN THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO DC+ IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU FIRST ASSERT A CLAIM. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID ANYTHING TO DC+ DURING SUCH TIME PERIOD, YOUR SOLE REMEDY (AND DC+’ EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY) FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH DC+ IS TO STOP USING THE SERVICES AND CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain types of damages. Accordingly, some of these disclaimers and limitations may not apply to you. To the extent that DC+ may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any warranty or limit its liability as set forth herein, the scope of such warranty and the extent of DC+’ liability shall be the minimum permitted under such applicable law. In particular, nothing in these Terms of Services shall affect the statutory rights of any consumer or exclude or restrict any liability for death or personal injury arising from any negligence or fraud of DC+.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold DC+ harmless from any claim, demand, damages or other losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, asserted by any Third Party resulting from or arising out of any breach by you of this Terms of Services. DC+ reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify DC+, and you agree to cooperate with DC+’ defense of these claims. DC+ will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.
You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your Account(s) or of the Services.
Dispute Resolution and Applicable Law

You agree that all disputes between you and DC+ shall be governed by the laws of Turkey by a court located in Istanbul without regard to conflict of law provisions, and you agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such court.
No Class Actions
You and DC+ can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A CLASS ACTION AND CAN ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST DC+ IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.
That means:
-
neither you nor DC+ may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action or representative action;
-
the arbitrator or court cannot combine more than one person’s claim into a single case and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative arbitration proceeding (unless you and DC+ both agree to change this); and
-
the arbitrator’s or court’s decision or award in one person’s case can only impact the person who brought the claim, not other users of the Services, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other users.
Severability
If any portion of these Terms of Services or of the Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
Assignment
DC+ may assign or delegate these Terms of Services and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time, with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms of Services or Privacy Policy without DC+’ prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is ineffective.

Entire Agreement
The Terms of Services and Privacy Policy contain the entire understanding of you and DC+ and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us with respect to the Services.
No Waiver
The failure of DC+ to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms of Services or the Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of DC+’ right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.
The express waiver by DC+ of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms of Services or the Privacy Policy shall not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
Except as expressly and specifically set forth in these Terms of Services, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by DC+ shall be deemed a modification of these Terms of Services nor legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by you and a duly appointed officer of DC+.
Equitable Remedies
You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms of Services to DC+ are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm DC+ and that cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone, so that DC+ shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.
You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation of the Services or the games, exploitation of any advertising or other materials issued in connection therewith or exploitation of the Services or any content or other material used or displayed through the Services and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any), limited by Sections "Fees, Refunds and Return Policy" and "Indemnity".
