Part Two: Game Management Regulations

Definitions

  1. Party B's Games: Refers to games provided by Party B or its partners and related services, excluding platform services provided by third parties for game distribution.
  2. Virtual Items: Refers to all in-game virtual objects, excluding virtual currency. Virtual items cannot be purchased directly with money and hold no monetary value. Party A may acquire these items through gameplay, community events, or exchange with virtual currency. Party A shall only have the right to use Virtual Items in accordance with the game management rules and shall not have ownership or any other rights thereto.
  3. Virtual Currency: Refers to "Revelation Crystal", the in-game currency acquired directly by Party A through payment. This currency can be used to exchange for various items, goods, or bundles; to obtain chances for drawing virtual items or characters; to unlock specific functions; or to expand game levels. Once "Revelation Crystals" are used or exchanged for other virtual items, the action is irreversible. For the avoidance of doubt, if Party A acquires "Revelation Crystal" through non-paid means (e.g., event rewards or compensation from Party B), such crystals are considered "Revelation Crystal" with no monetary value and do not fall under the definition of "Virtual Currency".
  4. Guest Account: Refers to when Party A uses the game services as a guest without applying for or binding a game service account under Party B using an email address or other information. A Guest Account is a temporary account, intended solely for Party A to temporarily experience Party B's games. It cannot be used to obtain or utilize virtual currency, nor does it possess any monetary spending functions. Party A may convert the Guest Account into Party A's exclusive official account by setting an account password through binding an email or other designated methods.
  5. Suspension of Game Access (Freeze): Refers to the temporary prohibition or restriction of Party A's access to the Game Services by means such as restricting login to Party B Games or temporarily limiting the usage rights of Party A's game account.

Special Provisions on the Right of Termination for Distance Transactions

  1. All virtual items held by Party A have no monetary value. Even if terms like "buy" or "purchase" are used within the service, or if items are obtained alongside the purchase of virtual currency, no monetary or transactional value is granted. Under no circumstances may a refund be requested for these items.
  2. Once paid virtual currency is used by Party A (e.g., exchanged for items, used for character draws, or to unlock levels), it cannot be returned due to its nature. In such cases, the right to a cooling-off period for distance transactions under the Consumer Protection Act does not apply, and no refund may be requested.
  3. In instances where Party A pays directly to unlock specific stages, expand game content, or exchange for specific items or characters, the service is deemed completed upon provision by Party B. Therefore, the cooling-off period under the Consumer Protection Act does not apply, and no refund may be requested.
  4. If Party A purchases virtual currency through a third-party platform (including but not limited to the iOS App Store or Android Play Store), any refund application must follow the procedures and regulations of that specific platform. If Party A is a person with limited capacity, their legal representative shall handle the application with the required documents according to the third-party platform's rules.

  2. Accounts and passwords registered via third-party platforms (e.g., Google, Apple) are held solely by those providers. For issues regarding management, modification, or unauthorized use of these accounts, Party A must contact the platform provider directly, as Party B cannot provide these services. If Party A uses a platform provider's account and password to log in to Party B's Game Services, then regarding matters related to Party A's account and password management, modification mechanisms, transaction records, electronic records, and other related matters—including the handling of any unauthorized use of Party A's account and password—Party A shall contact the platform provider directly, as Party B is unable to provide such services.

Therefore, Party A shall not assert any rights over the electronic and magnetic records of the Guest Account, and Party B has no obligation to preserve or maintain the electronic and magnetic records of the Guest Account, and may also be unable to contact Party A or inquire Party A's game history in accordance with these Terms of Service.
  6. Party A may temporarily experience the game services using a Guest Account. However, the Guest Account may become unavailable due to reasons such as game version updates or device system updates.

Any consequences arising therefrom shall be borne solely by Party A.

Network Connection and Equipment

  1. Party A must provide all necessary equipment for internet access and bear all related telecommunication costs.
  2.
