Virtual Points and Virtual Goods
5.1 "Virtual
Points" means the virtual currencies such as virtual gold coins,
crystal and energy points available in the Services. "Virtual Goods" means the items or features for use within our
Services, which may include without limitation, in-game consumables, card
packs, chests and other items that are depleted during gameplay.
5.2 Please note that the Services are not being
‘sold’ to you; you have no ownership, title or other proprietary interests in
and to the Services regardless of whether access was ‘earned’ through gameplay
or ‘purchased’ for monetary consideration. When you procure, earn or otherwise
obtain Virtual Points or Virtual Goods, you receive a personal, revocable,
non-assignable, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, non-exclusive, limited
license to use the Virtual Points or Virtual Goods solely within the applicable
Services for your personal and non-commercial use. The license may be limited
by or subject to third-party rights, for example, the license may be dependent
upon CyberJoy continuing to have rights to content
created and owned by a third party. Additionally, the license terminates when
we cease to provide the Services, when your account is closed, or when your
purchase order is canceled. Virtual Points and Virtual Goods have no real-world
monetary value and cannot be sold, sublicensed, traded, transferred, or
exchanged for money or other consideration, except we may operate a marketplace
that permits you to buy, sell or trade Virtual Goods to or from other users.
5.3 We may establish certain conditions or limits in
connection with the Virtual Points, including a maximum amount you may spend to
purchase Virtual Points per transaction or per day, a maximum balance that may
be credited to your account and limit a certain Virtual Points to a single game
offered by us. Any balance of Virtual Points shown in your account does not
constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead
constitutes a measurement of the extent of your limited license. In the event
that the balance of Virtual Points in your account is negative, we may restrict
or limit your access to our Services or certain features of our Services until
such balance becomes greater than or equal to $0.
5.4 To the extent that your use of the Services
involves Virtual Points and unless otherwise specified in the Services, the
system will first debit from the balance of the Virtual Points that you have
paid for ("Top-up Balance")
when you make purchases in the Services, and then debit from the balance of the
Virtual Points that you earn for free if the Top-up Balance is insufficient.
Your purchase will fail if both payment methods are unavailable.

Updates and Beta Version
6.1 Updates.
We may update our Services from time to time, which may block your access to
the Services for a period of time and result in the modification or

improve the user experience, enhance the gameplay, balance the characters, or
to resolve bugs or issues. . We are not liable for any
losses incurred by you due to such updates. If the update materially affects

10.2 Subscriptions
and Membership. This section applies only if the use of the Services is
subject to your subscription to and membership of the same. Your membership may

selected Payment Method for membership fees at the end of the free trial period
of your membership unless you cancel prior to the end of the free trial period.

reduced to reflect the authorization; however, if you cancel prior to the end
of your free trial, there will be no charges to your Payment Method. You will

subscriptions and membership at any time; however, unless permitted by the

11 Dispute Resolution
11.1 Governing Law.
(a) If you reside in the
EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, then the laws of England and Wales will govern
these Terms, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Nothing in these
Terms limits your right to initiate a proceeding according to mandatory laws of
your country of residence.
(b) If you reside in North
America, then these Terms shall be governed by California law, without
regard to principles of conflict of laws. For any Dispute (defined below)
deemed not subject to binding individual arbitration, you and CyberJoy agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of
Orange County, California, or, if federal court jurisdiction exists, the United
States District Court for the Central District of California. You and CyberJoy agree to waive any jurisdictional, venue, or
inconvenient forum objections to such courts (without affecting either party’s
rights to remove a case to federal court if permissible).
(c) If you reside outside of
the EEA, Switzerland, the UK, or North America, then the laws of Singapore
will govern these Terms, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Nothing in these Terms limits your right
to initiate a proceeding according to mandatory laws of your country of
residence
(d) The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded.
11.2 Informal Dispute
Resolution. We are committed to customer satisfaction and we aim to resolve
all your concerns amicably and efficiently. As a first step we always encourage
you to contact our customer support team (available either in-game, in-app or
on the game’s official website) as this is usually the quickest and most
efficient way to resolve potential problems. If the problem persists, you and
we agree to give each other an opportunity to resolve any disagreements first
through the following informal dispute resolution process before resorting to
more formal means of resolution ("Informal
Dispute Resolution"). To initiate Informal Dispute Resolution, a party
must give notice in writing to the other party according to this Section
("Notice"). Notice to us
must be sent to cyberjoygame@gmail.com. The Notice must (i)
include your full name, address, in-game username (or CyberJoy
Games Account ID, if you have one), and contact email address; (ii) explain
what the disagreement is about; and (iii) explain what you want as a solution.
If we have a disagreement with you, we will send a Notice and a description of
the disagreement to your email address or regular address associated with your
Games Account. It is your responsibility to keep your Games Account contact
information up to date. Both you and we will endeavor to resolve the
disagreement for a period of sixty (60) days after we receive the Notice, and
during this period you agree that (i) neither party
will submit the disagreement to arbitration or "small claims" or
another court and (ii) all
applicable statute of limitations and filing fee deadlines shall be tolled as
of the day a compliant Notice was received by a party. You and we agree that
either party has the option to ask the other to meet and confer telephonically
for an informal dispute resolution conference ("Conference"). The Conference shall be individualized such that
a separate Conference must be held for each user, even if the same law firm or
group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all
parties agree; multiple users cannot participate in the same Conference unless
all parties agree. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may
participate in the Conference, but you must also personally participate.
If the Dispute is not resolved within the sixty (60)-day period by
Informal Dispute Resolution, you or we may start an arbitration or file in the
appropriate court in accordance with these Terms.
11.3 ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT
(a) The terms in Sections 11.3 through to 11.13 are
collectively referred to as the "Arbitration
Agreement" and will be applied to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
(b) Applicability of the
Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or
related to these Terms, the Services, or any aspect of your relationship with
us that cannot be resolved through Informal Dispute Resolution ("Dispute"), shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, be resolved exclusively by final, binding
arbitration. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your
relationship with us. For purposes
of this Arbitration Agreement, Dispute will also include disputes that arose or
involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of
these Terms as well as claims that may arise after the termination of these
Terms.
(c) Confidentiality. You
must keep the existence of the arbitration, all materials and documents
exchanged during the arbitration proceedings, and the arbitration award
confidential and you must not share with anyone except your attorney or other
professional advisors, and then subject to the condition that they keep all
materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings
confidential. If an arbitrator orders any exchange of information during
arbitral proceedings, you will seek from the arbitrator protection for any
confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise information, documents,
testimony, or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of
discovery in the arbitration, before any such information becomes the subject
of discovery in the arbitration.
(d) Arbitration
Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a
single arbitrator. The arbitration hearing (if any) will be held by
videoconference, unless either party requests an in-person hearing and the
arbitrator agrees. Unless you and we otherwise agree, an in-person hearing will
be held in the county where you reside (for U.S. residents), Irvine, CA (for
non-U.S. residents), or as determined by the arbitrator (in the case of Batch
Arbitration). A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other
party with a request for arbitration (the "Request"). A Request to us should be sent by email to cyberjoygame@gmail.com.
A Request to you will be sent to your email address or regular address
associated with your Games Account. It is your responsibility to keep your
Games Account contact information up to date. The Request must include: (1) the
name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account
username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any
applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the
factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an
accurate, good‐faith calculation of the
amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying
completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and
(5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in
connection with such arbitration.
11.4 Additional
Terms - North America. If you reside
in North America, then the following terms shall apply:
(a) FAA.These Terms
affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section will be
substantively and procedurally governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act
("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. § 1, et
seq., and federal arbitration law.
(b) Rules and
Forum. The arbitration shall be
administered by National Arbitration and Mediation ("NAM") in accordance with its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution
Rules and Procedures (the "NAM
Rules") in effect when the arbitration is commenced, as modified by
these Terms. The NAM Mass Filing Supplemental Dispute Resolution Rules and
Procedures (the "NAM Mass Filing
Rules") will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are
asserted against us by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated
("Mass Filing"). The
arbitrator’s decision is final, except for a limited review by courts under the
FAA, and can be enforced like any other court order or judgment. Subject to the
NAM Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of
information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the
arbitration. If NAM is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an
alternative arbitral forum. The parties’ responsibility to pay any NAM fees and
costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable NAM Rules. The parties
further agree that any Dispute must be initiated within the applicable statute
of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred.
Likewise, the parties agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will
apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation
would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Batch Arbitration.
You agree that if there are twenty-five (25) or more individual arbitrations of
a substantially similar nature filed against us by or with the assistance of
the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a ninety (90)
day period, NAM shall (i) administer the arbitration
demands in batches of 100 claims per batch (or, if between twenty-five (25) and
ninety-nine (99) individual arbitrations are filed, a single batch of all those
arbitrations, and, to the extent there are less than 100 claims left over after
the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining
arbitrations); (ii) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (iii) provide
for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one
set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural
calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator,
and one final award ("Batch
Arbitration"). Applicable statutes of limitations will be tolled for
claims asserted in a Batch Arbitration from the time a compliant Notice has
been received by a party until the Mass Filing is filed in NAM or in court. To
the extent the parties disagree on any issue arising out of or relating to the
Batch Arbitration, the disagreeing party shall advise NAM, and NAM shall
appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch
Arbitration process ("Procedural
Arbitrator"). The Procedural Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by us.
This provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class,
collective, or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving
joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set
forth in this provision. All parties agree that arbitrations are of a
"substantially similar nature" if they arise out of or relate to the
same event or factual scenario, raise the same or similar legal issues, and
seek the same or similar relief.
(d) Arbitrator. The
arbitrator will be a neutral party (not a judge or jury) who is either a
retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of
California and will be selected by the parties from NAM’s roster of consumer
dispute arbitrators, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under
subsection 11.4(c) is triggered, NAM will appoint the arbitrator for each
batch. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute and
aspect thereof, except that all Disputes arising out of or relating to class
action waiver including any claim that it is unenforceable, illegal, void or
voidable, or that it has been breached, shall be decided by a court of
competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator, and any arbitration shall be
stayed pending a decision by the court in such a matter.
11.5 Additional Terms - EEA,
Switzerland, or the UK: We encourage you to refer to the Informal Dispute
Resolution process (see Section 11.2). If you reside in the EEA or are making a
claim against one of our entities based in the EEA, then you are also entitled to contact
the relevant national center within the European Consumer Centres
Network). Any Disputes between
us not resolved by the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above or
through the will be decided in the courts of London, England, except to the
extent prohibited by law. If you are an individual consumer, then you may be
entitled to invoke the mandatory consumer protection laws where you live, or
bring legal proceedings in the courts where you live. If we need to enforce our
rights against you as an individual consumer in the EEA, then we will do so in
your country of residence.
11.6 Additional Terms - Rest
of World. If you reside outside
North America, the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, then you agree that all
Disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered
by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC") in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the SIAC
("SIAC Rules") at the time
being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. You further agree that
following the commencement of SIAC arbitration, you will attempt in good faith
to resolve the Dispute with us through mediation at the Singapore International
Mediation Centre ("SIMC"),
in accordance with the SIAC-SIMC Arb-Med-Arb Protocol at the time being in
force. Any settlement reached in the course of the mediation shall be referred
to the arbitral tribunal appointed by SIAC and may be made a consent award on
agreed terms. The parties’
responsibility to pay any SIAC fees and costs will be solely as set forth in
the applicable SIAC Rules.
11.7 Arbitration
Award. The arbitrator’s award will be final and binding. Judgment on the
award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
11.8 Costs of
Arbitration. The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in
arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the
Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an
improper purpose (for North America, as measured by the standards set forth in
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
11.9 Waiver of
Class Actions and Class Arbitrations
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
for any case not subject to the requirement to arbitrate (except to the limited
extent discussed above for Mass Filings), you and we agree to only bring
disputes in an individual capacity and shall not (a) seek to bring, join, or
participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide
arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a
representative capacity, or (b) consolidate or combine individual proceedings
or permit another to do so without the express consent of all parties to these
Terms and all other actions or arbitrations. Nothing in this paragraph is
intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the subsection
11.4(c) entitled "Batch Arbitration." Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a final decision, not subject to any
further appeal or recourse, determines that the limitations of this subsection
are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief
(such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and we agree that the
particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or
request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated
in the courts indicated in subsection 11.1(b) above. All other Disputes shall
be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court. This subsection does not
prevent you or us from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
11.10 Jury
Trial Waiver
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
you and we agree to waive right to a jury trial. There is no judge or jury in
arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very
limited review.
11.11 Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration
Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the
following email address: cyberjoygame@gmail.com, within 30 days after first

this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all
other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this
Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you

11.12 Modification.

future. Changes will be posted here, and you should regularly check for the
most recent version. If we make any future, material change to this Arbitration
Agreement, we will notify you through the contact information in your Account
at least 30 days before such change becomes effective. Unless you opt out
within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by informing us at
the following email address: cyberjoygame@gmail.com, your continued use of the
Services after the effective date of any changes to this Arbitration Agreement
constitutes your acceptance of any such change. Changes to this Arbitration
Agreement do not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding
against us or you prior to the effective date of the modification. Changes to
this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out
of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of
these Terms and did not validly opt out of arbitration. If you reject any
change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an
existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes, the provisions of this Arbitration
Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (modified by any
subsequent changes to these Terms you accepted) remain in full force and
effect. We will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration
Agreement that you made to a prior version of these Terms.
11.13 Exceptions.
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, you and we
agree that each party may: (a) bring a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a
small claims court or tribunal, or (b) seek equitable relief in court for
infringement or other misuse of intellectual property. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, each party reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable
relief in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any dispute related
to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a
party's intellectual property or proprietary rights.

reason, the remainder of these Terms will continue in full force and effect and

unenforceability.
