- ‘virtual goods’ being virtual ‘assets’ which can be used by you within a Game to enhance your playing experience and which might include access to motor vehicles with better attributes, particular features, shortcuts, the use of a specific tool or equipment with special powers, enhancement of your Game status or the ability to move up a level or to complete a Game more quickly;
- gift boxes’ being specified or unspecified items that are given at random to you within a Game via a weighted probability system and which might include items that enhance your Game status or increase your ability to move up a level or to complete a Game more quickly; and
9. PURCHASING OR EARNING VIRTUAL ITEMS
zBoson offers you the opportunity to either:
- purchase for ‘real’ money a licence to use Virtual Items within the Games;
- earn a licence to use Virtual Items as part of a zBoson or third party promotional offer, competition or action (although such offers may be subject to Special Terms); or
- earn a licence to use Virtual Items within Games by completing defined in-Game actions.
10. LICENCE FOR VIRTUAL ITEMS
If you purchase or earn Virtual Items your use of them is subject to the following licence together with any Platform specific terms:
- Subject to paragraph 16, Virtual Items are not redeemable or refundable. Once you have purchased or earned Virtual Items you will not get the ‘real’ money you paid back as Virtual Items have no monetary value. Any virtual currency balance shown in any Game account or wallet does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but measures the extent of your limited license to use Virtual Items within the Games;
- Virtual Items are personal to you and non-transferable i.e. only you can use Virtual Items and you cannot permit anyone else to use them whether via your Apple Account or otherwise. You cannot trade them in any way whether by selling them for real money to other players, exchanging them for other items or dealing or disposing of them in any other way (with the exception of any in-game Virtual Item auction function that zBoson may elect to offer);
- your right to use Virtual Items ends as a result of any Platform provider (including Apple) or any online wallet provider having to suspend or close your account with them pursuant to these Terms or pursuant to any relevant terms of such Platforms or wallets;
- from time to time zBoson may offer you Virtual Items which are subject to specific terms. For example zBoson may:
- put in place offers to purchase Virtual Items at a discount;
- put in place a limited time period in which any Virtual Items may be purchased or earnt;
- put in place specific specified or unspecified conditions relating to when such Virtual Items may be purchased or earnt, or
- make available for purchase Virtual Items that are non-restorable (that is, will not be restored in the event of account recovery and/or you logging in on a new device). zBoson may also sell access to restricted and sometimes time limited gameplay and challenges including, for example, offering Virtual Items to purchase which allow you to bypass such restrictions, either temporarily or permanently. Thus, in certain instances Virtual Items may only be available for a limited time or subject to specific conditions and you shall comply with and adhere to such conditions accordingly;
11. PRICE
The price payable by you for Virtual Items (the “Price”) is indicated within the applicable Game at the time you make your purchase. If you are resident in the European Union, the Price includes any applicable value added or similar sales tax. Also for some other countries, according to the Platform, prices may be listed including sales tax. zBoson reserves the right to change the Price and specifications for any Virtual Items at any time for any reason.

13. ERRORS
zBoson uses its reasonable endeavours to ensure that errors and mistakes do not occur in the Games in relation to pricing and your purchase and use of the Games or Virtual Items. However:
- zBoson reserves the right to void any such obvious error or mistake however it arises or results including, for example, errors or mistakes due to human error or technical fault resulting in, for example, the cost of a virtual good or virtual currency being mispriced giving you an opportunity to profiteer from such mispricing. You hereby forfeit any Virtual Items you obtain as a result of such an error or mistake; and
- if the price or specification for any Virtual Item published within a Game is materially incorrect when you place an order for that Virtual Item and you contact zBoson to inform it of this incorrect information, we will:
- provide you with the correct Price or specification; and
- ask you to confirm whether you would like to purchase the applicable Virtual Item at the correct Price or specification. If applicable, zBoson will also state the period for which the offer or Price remains valid. If you choose not to complete your purchase at the corrected Price or product specification, zBoson will provide you with a full refund for any amounts already paid by you; and zBoson reserves the right to edit Virtual Items at any time for any reason, including, for example, to correct inaccuracies or to update or modify the features, characteristics, colours or other aspects of such Virtual Items.
14. AVAILABILITY
zBoson reserves the right to limit the amount of Virtual Items you can purchase in a given period. Virtual Items may only be purchased and used by players in jurisdictions where such activities are permitted under applicable law. Virtual Items may only be purchased from zBoson through the Games or as otherwise expressly authorised. zBoson reserves the right to refuse any request to purchase Virtual Items for any reason.
15. CHARGEBACKS
zBoson may cancel a payment and make a chargeback to you, including any transaction fees incurred with payment providers, if it has reason to believe:
- any purchase is incomplete; or
- any purchase is made, or zBoson suspects it is made, fraudulently or in an otherwise non-bona fide manner.
16. COOLING-OFF PERIOD
If you purchase Virtual Items, then you have the right to withdraw from your purchase within 14 days, commencing on the day after the date of your purchase (a “Cooling-Off Period”). However, please note that if you purchase Virtual Items from zBoson and choose to download the Virtual Items immediately, the Cooling-Off Period ends once the download of any Virtual Items is complete, due to the nature of these goods.
This means that if you download the Virtual Items straightaway you acknowledge that you will therefore no longer have the right to cancel them.
If you would like to exercise your rights under the cooling off period please send an email to support@zbosonstudio.com and the Virtual Item will be removed from your account and any monies paid shall be refunded.
17. PAYMENT METHODS
Payment methods accepted by zBoson are as per those payment methods provided by the Platforms within the Games at the point of sale.
