What happens when a game is shut down?
From time to time, we may take the decision to cease publishing one of our games and remove the game from all platforms and app stores so that it is no longer downloadable (we refer to the date that this occurs as the “Sunset Date”).
How will I know when a game is Sunsetting?
We will always try to provide you a reasonable amount of notice of the anticipated Sunset Date for a game, whether this notice occurs as an in-game pop-up and/or official announcement by Gamebasics on the relevant support page for the game or Gamebasics’ social media channels. Any announcement will explain the impending closure of the game on the Sunset Date and urge all players to stop making any in-game purchases.
Can I get a refund on my in-game purchases?
You will be entitled to a full refund for any in-app items purchased in the two (2) month period leading up to the Sunset Date. All refund requests must be made through the relevant app store or by contacting us here. Please note, you only have thirty (30) days after the Sunset Date of a game to make your claim, otherwise you will lose your entitlement to any refund. The reason for this is to ensure that we can abide by applicable Data Protection laws and delete all personal data collected from the game from our servers and database. Please visit the Privacy Policy page for more information about your personal data.
I have more questions about sunsetting, where can I ask them?
You can contact our Player Experience Support team by opening a ticket at the following link:
Like many of our peers in the mobile games industry, we may use bots in our games in certain circumstances, such as where our games are real-time multiplayer games. As is standard for such games, bots may be used if there are no real-live players available, in instances of low connectivity or in the event of other technical constraints so that we can ensure smooth and enjoyable gameplay for our users. Further, there may be a use of bots for first-time players to ensure the best introduction to our game offering.
Some of our games may include virtual items, including, but not limited to, benefits, upgrades, unlockables, cosmetics, skins, gameplay features or coins, cash, tokens or other in-game currency ("Coins"), in each case, available through or otherwise in relation to our Services (together "Virtual Items"). Please read these terms and conditions ("Virtual Items Terms") carefully before purchasing any Virtual Items. By purchasing any Virtual Items, you agree to be bound by these Virtual Items Terms and the Terms. These Virtual Items Terms are in addition to the Terms and if there is a conflict between the Virtual Items Terms and the Terms, the Virtual Items Terms shall apply.
These Virtual Items Terms cover your purchase and use of Virtual Items.
Coins and items can only be used in line with these Virtual Items Terms and within the game account in which they are purchased or otherwise acquired. You acknowledge that certain additional in-game functionality may only be accessible in exchange for Coins.
These Virtual Items Terms also apply if you win or are given any Virtual Items because you have participated in a gameplay feature, competition, survey or marketing campaign.
Please note some of our Services may include “loot boxes” as part of the Virtual Items offered in the game. Loot boxes can take various forms (such as golf bags, treasure chests or player packs) are usually considered to be a form of randomised in-game content you can open or redeem through various means, including for example for in-game currency, coins, or through gameplay. Loot boxes are subject to these Virtual Items Terms.
Some of our games let you buy Virtual Items. You can recognise these games because they have an option to purchase Virtual Items, either in an in-game shop or, in the case of Coins, usually at the top of the specific game playing window. Games may allow you to buy different amounts of Virtual Items and may have temporary offers or sales for Virtual Item purchases.
Please note that when purchasing Virtual Items through one of our games, which you will have downloaded from an app store, there may be additional terms and conditions which apply. You may be asked to agree to the app store provider's own terms and conditions, which will apply in addition to these Virtual Items Terms. We suggest you read app store terms carefully and follow the process provided by the relevant app store.
We do not permit third parties to give or sell Coins and other Virtual Items outside of our games. Accordingly, as a condition to playing our games, you agree not to receive, purchase and/or use Coins or Virtual Items from such third parties. Any unauthorised Coins or Virtual Items that you purchase are subject to forfeiture at any time.
You can buy Virtual Items from us for real money if you are 18 years of age or older or, if you are under 18, you must have the permission of a parent or guardian. We may ask you to provide the details of your parent or guardian from time to time.
If you want to buy any Virtual Items, please follow the steps set out in the game which you have downloaded. If you experience any difficulties when purchasing Virtual Items, you can contact us here.
Please note the following:
Generally, no. The app and website accounts are not always linked, but in some cases, such as for Online Soccer Manager the Coin wallets are linked. However, for some games there is no link, and if you purchase Virtual Items through one platform account, they will not appear in other platform accounts you may have with us.
You can spend your Coins in order to acquire other Virtual Items within the game within which you purchased the Coins. When you use Coins to acquire another Virtual Item within a game, the relevant amount of Coins will automatically be deducted from your account that is connected with that game.
Other than Coins, the availability, nature and duration of any Virtual Items may vary from time to time. Some Virtual Items may only be used a limited number of times or only whilst you satisfy certain conditions.
We can at any time, without notifying you, vary the scope, variety and type of Virtual Items. Gamebasics has no obligation to make, or continue to make, any specific Virtual Item for any game. We may also restrict or vary the type of Virtual Items available to you based on your country of residence.
By buying Virtual Items, you agree not to:
Users are prohibited from holding and using Virtual Items in multiple accounts in any manner that is contrary to the general purpose of a game and in violation of any relevant clauses of these Terms and Conditions.
You are strictly prohibited from giving, selling or otherwise transferring an account or any Virtual Items to any other person. Any violation or abuse of the account limitations will be flagged and may result in suspending or disabling your account or any other measures Gamebasics deems necessary.
We may from time to time limit the use of Virtual Items, including applying limits to the number of Virtual Items allocated to your account at any time, and/or the number of Virtual Items usable or redeemable within a given time period.
You have certain rights in respect of the Virtual Items. These include that we have the right to supply the Virtual Items to you and that the Virtual Items will be of satisfactory quality and as described.
You have certain legal remedies if we breach any of these rights. Nothing in these Virtual Items Terms is intended to affect these legal rights or other rights to which you may also be entitled.
If we are unable to resolve any disputes between us about your purchase of the Virtual Items or these Virtual Items Terms, you have the right to refer the dispute to the EU's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage .
By purchasing Virtual Items from us, you agree that we can transfer them to your account as soon as we can. By agreeing to these Terms, each time you click to confirm a purchase, you acknowledge that you expressly consent to the supply of the Virtual Items immediately and acknowledge that you will lose your right to change your mind and cancel such order within the 14-day cooling-off period otherwise provided by law.
We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently ban your account if:
If we temporarily or permanently ban your account, we may remove any or all of the Virtual Items in your account. If this happens, you are not entitled to any reimbursement, refund or any other compensation, except at our sole discretion.
It is possible that you have successfully ordered and paid for your Coins, but you may not have received them. Please remember that during busy periods, it can take up to 48 hours before your Virtual Items are assigned to your account. If you are still having issues receiving your Virtual Items and you have not received them after a short period of time, please let us know by contacting us here.
You are responsible for the security of your account and ensuring that no unauthorised purchases occur on your account. Gamebasics is not liable for any unauthorised purchases (including fraudulent purchases or purchases made by minors). If you wish to pursue a refund for such purchases, you should contact your bank or the payment provider such as the relevant app store.
We are not responsible for the following types of loss or damage which may arise (and have no obligation to refund for any purchase of Virtual Items):
Purchases of Virtual Items made within Facebook's Messenger application are subject solely to Facebook's terms and conditions of purchase. Accordingly, we will be unable to help with your queries here which should be directed to Facebook.
