4. Sharp Innovations Virtual Items Terms
Sharp Innovations may offer different types of digital content, credits, coins or other virtual items for which you may (i) purchase a limited license to use via the Services (“Purchased Virtual Items”) or (ii) earn or otherwise receive a limited license to use via the Services (“Earned Virtual Items” together with the Purchased Virtual Items, collectively, “Virtual Items”). You understand that while you may “earn” “buy” or “purchase” Virtual Items in our Services, you do not legally own the Virtual Items and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Any virtual currency balance 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. You acknowledge that any Virtual Items (including without limitation any virtual currency) that you obtain in connection with the Services have no monetary value, and do not have any value of any kind outside of the Services.
(a) Payment and Billing. Your purchase of Virtual Items through any authorized third party distributor of our Services, such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Games, Facebook, Samsung or Xsolla (collectively, the “Authorized Distributors”) is subject to the applicable Authorized Distributor’s payment terms and conditions, and Sharp Innovations is not a party to the transaction. Any data or information you provide to an Authorized Distributor will be subject to that Authorized Distributor’s privacy policy. Sharp Innovations does not control how you can pay or how any refunds may be issued by any Authorized Distributor. Please review the applicable Authorized Distributor’s terms of service and privacy policy for additional information. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the payment method you use to purchase Virtual Items. You authorize the applicable Authorized Distributor to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any problem encountered in order to proceed with your order. When you purchase a limited license to use Virtual Items from our Services, we and/or the applicable Authorized Distributor may send you an acknowledgment email that will have details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the acknowledgement email are correct as soon as possible and keep a copy of it for your records.
(b) Third-Party Sales. Sharp Innovations does not authorize, and expressly prohibits, the purchase of Virtual Items from third parties (i.e. from any third party that is not one of our Authorized Distributors). You will not offer to sell or purchase Virtual Items to or from other users or third parties, and will not sell or purchase Virtual Items to or from third parties. In addition to violating these Terms, these resale purchase transactions may be fraudulent or may lead to identity theft. Sharp Innovations is not responsible for any such transactions or any damages or harm that you might incur if you engage in transactions involving Virtual Items with other users or third parties.
(c) Pricing and Taxes. All prices for Virtual Items do not include applicable taxes and other charges, unless we state otherwise. Prices for Virtual Items are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed. You are responsible for any sales, use, value-added or other governmental taxes, fees or duties due with respect to your order. We may collect applicable taxes if we determine we have a duty to collect taxes.
(d) Subscriptions. We may offer different subscription plans for purchasing Virtual Items (each, a “Subscription”). WHEN YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, (I) YOU AUTHORIZE THE AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR YOU USE TO ACQUIRE THE VIRTUAL ITEMS TO CHARGE YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD FOR THE PERIOD (E.G., WEEKLY, MONTHLY OR ANNUALLY) SPECIFIED IN YOUR SUBSCRIPTION (IN ADDITION TO ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) FOR AS LONG AS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTINUES, AND (II) YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IS CONTINUOUS UNTIL YOU CANCEL IT OR WE SUSPEND OR STOP PROVIDING ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS. The Subscription period (or an indication that the Subscription will continue until cancelled), how to cancel your Subscription, the cost of the Subscription you purchase and any other material terms are disclosed prior to purchase and may be confirmed via email by Sharp Innovations and/or the applicable Authorized Developer.
(e) Cancelling Subscriptions. YOU MAY CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME THROUGH THE TOOLS MADE AVAILABLE BY THE APPLICABLE AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR. SUBSCRIPTIONS MUST BE CANCELLED BEFORE THE BILLING OR RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING CHARGED FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. IF YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AFTER THE APPLICABLE BILLING OR RENEWAL DATE, IT WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES (INCLUDING ANY APPLICABLE TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES) INCURRED WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBSCRIPTION ORDER PROCESSED PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF YOUR CANCELLATION.
(f) Redemption. Virtual Items may be redeemed solely for digital goods or services made available through our Services. You may redeem Virtual Items only by the method and within the scope described via the Services.
(g) Restrictions. All sales of Purchased Virtual Items are final, and all Purchased Virtual Items are non-returnable and non-refundable. Virtual Items cannot be resold, transferred for value, redeemed for cash or applied to any other account. We may limit the number of Virtual Items you can purchase or use within certain periods of time or implement other restrictions on the receipt or use of Virtual Items. We may further restrict your ability to redeem your Virtual Items based on your place of residence. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SHARP INNOVATIONS IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, NOR IS SHARP INNOVATIONS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL ITEMS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER SUCH CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY, WHETHER YOU MADE A PAYMENT THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOROR ANY OTHER SITES OR PLATFORMS WHERE WE OFFER OUR SERVICES.
(h) Errors. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged.
(i) Inactivity. While the Virtual Items you purchase do not expire, if you do not log into your account for a period of at least 2 years, if you deactivate your account, or if we have been unable to reach you to verify that you intend to continue using your account, then you authorize us, without further notice to you, to distribute Virtual Items in your account to other users as gifts or to redeem all Virtual Items remaining in your account for any content or items we select and to distribute or provide access to that content or items to other users as gifts.

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Sharp Innovations and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us. This Section 16 only applies to you if you are a resident of the United States or if you commence any action against Sharp Innovations in the United States.
Except for small claims disputes in which you or Sharp Innovations seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Sharp Innovations seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Sharp Innovations waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in San Francisco County, California in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Sharp Innovations agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and Sharp Innovations and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Sharp Innovations agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and Sharp Innovations agree that for any arbitration you initiate, the party filing the claim will pay the filing fee and the parties will split the remaining JAMS fees and costs. You and Sharp Innovations agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and SHARP INNOVATIONS will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 16 by emailing legal@Sharp Innovations.com. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 17.
17. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and your access to and use of our Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Sharp Innovations relating to your access to and use of our Services. The failure of Sharp Innovations to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.
