In this case, the User shall initially only be provided with a basic version of the Game. The creation of an Account and the use of the basic version are free of charge. The basic version of the Game can be used indefinitely and without restrictions in the basic Game functions, without prejudice to Whow Games’ right to withdraw the Game. There is never any requirement to make any purchase of any kind to use the Games and Services, because a certain number of virtual game currency will be made available to User to collect through the website or Portal, i.e. Whow Games offers a variety of options for regularly receiving unlimited game currency free of charge (e.g. by frequent log into the Service at recurring time intervals, viewing video ads). Furthermore, the virtual game currency can be won during gameplay, or if User exhaust his or her supply of virtual game currency, User may elect to purchase additional virtual game currency (see 7.1.2) and continue to play the Games through the Service or User may wait until additional free virtual game currency is available to User. Virtual game currency (e.g. „Coins“, „Chips“ „Stars“, „Keys“, „Token“ or other) and other virtual items are licensed to User by Whow Games for use through the Service, subject to the limitations and other terms set out in detail in this Terms & Conditions. However, virtual game currency has no monetary value. User may not sell, trade, transfer, cash out, redeem or in any other way exchange the virtual currency or Premium Features for real money or any real goods.

7.1.2 Additional virtual game currency

As an element of the Games, the User can obtain additional virtual game currency to play the Game. Virtual game currencies may vary from one Game to another. Which or how many virtual game currency is offered, which functions it has and which possibilities of use virtual game currency offers, is described in the portal or the website of the respective game and/or in the game rules or conditions of participation. Same applies for the applicable fees for the licensed virtual game currency, which are displayed in the Game or Service in connection with the respective feature.

All prices for a right of use for additional virtual game currency are gross prices, i.e. including any applicable taxes. The fee for the paid order of additional virtual game currency is due immediately and must be paid in advance. The Games are subject to continuous further development. In the course of the adaptation and further development of the games, Whow Games also reserves the right to no longer offer individual Games, Services and/or respective currencies offered through the Service. 7.1.3 Premium Features

The User has the option of receiving features that are not available in the basic (Free-to-Play) version (hereinafter referred to as “Premium Features”) in return for payment. The Premium Features offered may vary from one Game to another. Information pertaining to the prices of the Premium Features offered, the functions included with these Premium Features and their requirements for use can be obtained from the website of each respective Game. Depending on the Premium Feature and price, a one time payment may have to be made in order to credit an Account with features, virtual currency or items that may be used for certain purposes subject to the respective rules of a Game, or to make payments that are due periodically, such as on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually or yearly basis.

All prices listed include all possible applicable taxes. All Games are updated regularly. Whow Games therefore reserves the right to offer new Premium Features at any time. In the course of adapting and developing the Games, Whow Games also reserves the right to discontinue individual Premium features and/or to offer them in the basic (Free-to-Play) version (see Section 7.1.1 above).

All Users are excluded from a reimbursement of the fees paid. In the event of a permanent discontinuation of a Whow Games Game, Section 1.2.15 shall apply. If there is a possibility of downloading software to a mobile phone allowing access to individual Games, the rules for additional virtual game currency or rather Premium features shall also apply for the payment of these accrued costs.7.1.4 Subscription/Automatic Renewal

The subscription terms are described in the game rules and/or Conditions of Participation for the respective Games.

7.1.3 Payment Conditions and Due Date of Payment

Whow Games is authorized to ask for advance payment for the use of additional virtual game currency (see Section 7.1.2 above) and Premium Features (see Section 7.1.3 above). Such payment shall be due upon conclusion of the agreement and shall be debited from the bank account or charged to the credit card account provided by the User, inasmuch as the User has not opted for another form of payment, for example, payment by text message for Premium Features. The amount to be collected shall be displayed on credit card bills or bank account statements as "WWW.WHOW.COM" or "Whow Games", "Jackpot" or "MyJackpot". The name or title may deviate when making use of alternative payment methods. Any virtual game currency, Premium Features or other (hereinafter jointly also referred to as „Virtual Items“) purchased in Whow Games´ Games on other applications stores or platforms such as but not limited to Facebook, Apple iOS, or Android will be subject to those platforms’ payment terms and conditions. Whow Games does not control how you can pay on those platforms and shall not be liable for processing the payment by such third parties. User shall review those platforms’ terms of service for additional information. User´s order for Virtual Items will represent an offer to Whow Games to obtain a limited license for the relevant service(s) or Virtual Items, which will be accepted by Whow Games when Whow Games makes the Virtual Items available in User´s account to use in Games or Services. Users limited license to Virtual Items for use througt website or Portal is a service provided by Whow Games that starts when Whow Games accepts User payment or redemption of third party virtual currency. When User gets a limited license to use Virtual Items, they will reside in the Account until discharged through use of the Games or Services or otherwise surrendered as a result of termination of the Services in accordance with these Terms & Conditions. When purchasing Virtual Items or other content as may be made available, User agree to pay Whow Games the applicable charges for his or her purchase, including applicable taxes incurred by User or anyone using an Account registered to User, using a valid charge card or other payment method we may accept in accordance with the billing terms and prices in effect at the time the fee or charge becomes payable.

For the period of a suspension, no performance fee is payable for any closed subscriptions.

7.3 Direct Debit Reversals, Cancellation Fees

If Whow Games incurs costs and/or losses or if Whow Games is charged a cancellation fee due to a cancelled direct debit payment as a result of User fault or circumstances leading back to the User (for example, if the User does not have an adequate or sufficient account balance), the User shall bear all cancellation fees generated for Whow Games as a result of these actions. Whow Games is entitled to demand payment of the costs incurred from repeated attempts to debit the charges from the User’s account together with the original fees.

A claim to the rewarding of virtual game currency or Premium Features (hereinafter jointly also referred to as Rewards) can only be permitted in the course of gaming activity by using virtual game currency as virtual stake and, however, never require a real-money stake. A claim to such Rewards also does not exist, if Whow Games learns that a potential claim may be the result of technical or legal manipulations and/or, in general, the result of any other kind of criminal conduct. By using Whow Games´ Games and Services, Users thereby agree that Whow Games may conduct a thorough investigation at any time pertaining to the legality of the claim forRewards, and while this claim is under investigation, may withhold the Rewardfrom the User without his/her express consent. A claim to a Rewards shall also be forfeited if the User has not complied with the rules of the Game.

The User may only set off a claim by Whow Games for outstanding accounts if his/her counterclaims cannot be disputed or have been declared legally binding.

7.6 Services

Unless otherwise stipulated in the Service description, Services can be used free of charge. Furthermore, Sections 7.1 through 7.6 apply to fee-based Services.

8. Term, Cancellation

8.1 Duration

All agreements entered into between the User and Whow Games are for an indeterminate period of time unless a limited period of time has been expressly specified in the Terms & Conditions.

8.2 Orderly Cancellation

Subject to the condition that the period of termination is respected, each party is legally entitled to terminate the contractual agreement without provision of any reasons, provided that the following is fulfilled:

8.2.1 If no limited period of time has been agreed upon for an agreement, both parties may terminate the contractual agreement in a due and orderly manner with immediate effect.

8.2.2 If an agreement (e.g. gaming or service usage agreement) for using the Games and Services and/or Premium features has been agreed upon for a set period of time (see Sections 7.1.2 and 7.1.3), said agreement shall be automatically renewed for the same period after the original agreement expires, until the User cancels the agreement by the end of the respective contractual period.

8.3 Just grounds for cancellation

8.3.1 The parties may also terminate the contractual agreement for important reasons at any time without prejudice to the above regulations.

8.3.2 In the event that Whow Games is responsible for a premature termination of the contractual agreement for important reasons, the User shall receive a pro rata refund for any payments made by them, if applicable, (especially for Premium Features) which apply to the period after the termination becomes effective. All other claims of the User are considered invalid unless otherwise specified in these Terms & Conditions.

Whow Games has the right to terminate the contractual agreement especially for, but not limited to, the following reasons:

a. The User culpably violates the law, these Terms & Conditions, the rules of the game(s) and/or the Conditions of Participation, and – despite having been warned accordingly – repeatedly fails to behave in a proper manner according to the rules and regulations.

b. The User defaults on the payment of the fees amounting to at least 10.00 EUR and does not pay them despite having been reminded of due fees twice.

c. Third Parties (i.e. social network operators), whose login functions are used by the User to gain access to his/her account with the provider, then request the User to delete User data and/or take comparable measures; if an alternative form of access would be unreasonable for the provider.

d. Third Parties (i.e. operators or social networks), whose login functions are used by the User to gain access to his/her account with the provider, then limit the access of the provider to the User data, as long as an alternative form of access would be unreasonable for the provider.

8.3.3 In the event of serious violations, an immediate cancellation is permitted without the need for any prior warning. A serious violation is an infringement making it impossible for Whow Games to continue upholding the agreement, thus making it null and void. This is usually the case

a. if the User violates penal laws.

b. if the User improperly uses the account, games or service.

c. if the User provides incorrect information when registering or paying for services that must be paid for.

8.3.4 In cases of justified cancellations by Whow Games based on just grounds, Whow Games is entitled to demand an amount equal to 50% of the total fees the User would have had to pay in the case of a simultaneous cancellation within the contractual period (for services not yet provided by the provider, in particular for already ordered virtual currencies or Premium Features). The User’s right to prove that no damage or a significantly lower level of damage has occurred remains unaffected. Should the User have already received the service to be rendered by Whow Games, he/she no longer has any right to a refund. Most particularly, there shall be no refund for any virtual currency or Premium Features that the User has ordered and already received from Whow Games.

8.3.5 Should Whow Games be responsible for the extraordinary cancellation and the User’s player account still feature virtual currency for Games or Services, Whow Games shall accredit the virtual currency to one of the User’s requested Games or Services provided by Whow Games. A repayment in material goods or cash form is excluded, unless otherwise explicitly determined by these Terms and Conditions.

8.3.6 Whow Games has a special right to cancel the User’s registration for Games or Services in the event that Whow Games should lose the right to operate these Games or Services, e.g. for regulatory reasons or due to a termination of the relevant license agreement between Whow Games and the respective licensor. In this case, Whow Games may conduct an extraordinary termination of all agreements relating to the operation and use of the Game or Service (for example, the License Agreement, Agreement on the Provision and Use of virtual Currency or Premium Features, etc.) at the time game-play is established. The provision in Section 8.3.5 shall then apply. Any other termination rights remain unaffected.

8.3.7 Virtual Items, regardless whether acquired througt the Games or Services against payment or granted free of charge are generally excluded from any form of reimbursement.

In the event of the permanent discontinuation of a Whow Games´ Game, 1.2.15 shall apply.

8.4 Termination in Written Form

Any and all terminations shall be in writing. Text form (e.g. fax, email) is sufficient to become effective.

9. Responsibilities and Other Obligations of the User; Liability for Information Uploaded by the User; Copyright

9.1 User Responsibilities

It shall be the primary responsibility of the User to pay any and all applicable fees, unless he/she uses the basic version of the Games and/or Services (see Paragraph 7 above). Furthermore, the User shall comply with all applicable game rules and provide accurate and complete information to Whow Games upon entering into this agreement and through the duration thereof. Therefore, the User declares that all information relating to his/her person or other facts relevant to the agreement (especially bank or credit card details) and which he/she provides on the User application or during the course of the contractual agreement are complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge. The User is obligated to inform Whow Games about any changes to this information without undue delay. The User is obliged to follow the game rules. In the case of repeated violation of the rules despite warnings to this effect, or in the case of a severe breach of the rules (see Section 8.3), Whow Games reserves the right to suspend all services immediately and without warning, and to cancel the agreement.

9.2 Installation of Software

Whow Games is not liable for damages or a loss of data on the User’s computer which may be caused by the installation of software that does not originate from Whow Games.

9.3 Further Obligations of the User

9.3.1 Whow Games provides the available Games and Services online for use with a web browser. Whow Games neither provides nor installs any of the software required by the User on their local computer especially, but not limited to, the operating system, web browser(s) or plugins such as Flash or Java, if applicable. Whow Games also does not provide any support services for such software installations. It is solely the User’s responsibility to maintain the computer in a state which enables the use of Whow Games Games or Services. Therefore, Whow Games does not provide any kind of technical support for the installation of locally required software.

9.3.2 The User is obligated to treat all data provided by Whow Games for the purpose of accessing the Games and Services (login, passwords etc.) in a strictly confidential manner. The User shall inform Whow Games without delay if he or she learns or suspects that an unauthorized Third Party has gained possession of said access data. Whow Games advises the User to do this in written form, e.g. via email. In the event that a Third Party gains access to Whow Games’ Games or Services with the User’s access data because the User neglected to sufficiently protect the account from unauthorized access, the User must, due to the danger of an uncertainty caused by him/her regarding who misused the account or was responsible for a contractual or legal infringement of said account, assume the responsibility for said actions as if he/she had performed these actions himself/herself. Whow Games is entitled to evaluate all entries into an account with the User's data as the entry of the User into the account. Whow Games advises that passwords should be regularly changed for security reasons. The User is solely responsible for the access to and use of his/her Account.

9.3.3 In the event that Whow Games has a justifiable reason to believe that an unauthorized Third Party is wrongly in possession of access data, Whow Games may, but is not required to, at its own discretion, change the account access data without prior notice or suspend the respective Account. Whow Games shall promptly inform the rightful User and shall, upon request, communicate the new access data to him or her without undue delay. The User has no right to demand that the original access data be restored.

9.3.4 The User is not entitled to sell his or her account to a Third Party or in another way, shape or manner lend to transfer it.

9.3.5 Whow Games protects its systems against viruses. Even so, virus infections can never be completely ruled out. In addition, it is possible that unauthorized Third Parties may send emails using the name of Whow Games without Whow Games' consent, and that such emails may contain viruses, spyware or links to web content which, in turn, may contain viruses or spyware. Whow Games has no influence over such occurrences. The User agrees to check all incoming mail sent or supposedly sent by or in the name of Whow Games for potential viruses. The same applies to mails from other Users of the Games or Services.

9.3.6 The User agrees to abide by the instructions of Whow Games, its employees, assignees, and vicarious agents, especially including but not limited to administrators and moderators of forums for a specific game and/or service.

9.3.7 The User agrees that he or she shall not, under any circumstances, use the Account, login name or password of another User.

This, for example, includes but is not limited to:

a. information which is obviously offensive, racist, fanatical, or glorifies violence.

b. information which is of a molesting, insulting, threatening, obscene, defaming nature or is libelous to other persons.

Furthermore, Whow Games is also entitled to exclude the offending User from continued use of the respective Service(s) and, in case of repeated infringements of the aforementioned prohibitions despite written notice, to terminate the User’s Account without prior warning. Whow Games reserves the right to make any further necessary and additional claims, particularly the entitlement to damages.

9.4.7 The User shall inform Whow Games in case he/she becomes aware of an abuse of the Service(s) by other Users or Third Parties, such as making accessible or sending information that violates this Section 9.4.

10. Claims Based on Defects

10.1 Whow Games grants the User access to the Games and Services in their current version only (Section 1.2). The User has no right to demand the maintenance or restoring of a particular version or range of functions of the Games and Services. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Games and Services provided by Whow Games, as with any other software, can never be completely free of errors. Therefore, the Games and Services can only be considered to be defective if their playability or usability is affected severely and over a sustained period of time. Any faults in the Games and Services and/or other deliveries of Whow Games need to be documented by the User in writing along with a protocol of the error messages displayed for the purpose of securing evidence in a suitable form (i.e. in text form via email or via the respective contact form) and then sent to Whow Games. Before reporting a potential bug, the User shall consult the instructions for the Games and Services and any other troubleshooting tools provided by Whow Games (especially frequently asked question lists and boards for troubleshooting). The User shall use his/her best efforts to support Whow Games in any attempts to debug the Game or Service in question.

10.2 The User shall notify Whow Games in writing of the faults discovered and documented in accordance with Section 10.1 within 14 days upon discovering them or provide Whow Games of notification of defects.

10.3 Whow Games is not liable for defects caused by external influences, faulty handling by the User, force majeure or changes or manipulations which are not performed by Whow Games.

10.4 Whow Games does not assume any guarantees or warranties.

11. Liability and Limitation of Liability

11.1 The User shall be directly and immediately liable to Third Parties for violating any of their rights. The User shall indemnify and hold Whow Games harmless against any damage caused by his or her failure to observe these Terms & Conditions. The User shall indemnify and hold Whow Games harmless against any and all claims by Third Parties that the posting of any content by the User or any other violations of these Terms of Use by him or her violates their respective rights. The User shall also be responsible for any legal costs Whow Games may incur as a result of the said failure to comply with the Terms of Use, including court costs and attorney fees. This shall only apply in the event the User is responsible for any such infringement.

11.2 Provided that Whow Games offers its services free of charge, Whow Games shall only be liable for intentionally caused damage or damage caused by gross negligence. This, however, does not apply to liability regarding loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health, or the assumption of a guarantee offered by Whow Games.

11.3 Insofar as Whow Games demands payment for its Services, Whow Games shall assume liability for damage caused by intent and gross negligence without limitation. In the event of simple negligence, Whow Games shall only be liable for breaches to substantial agreement stipulations or breaches of a guarantee. Substantial contractual stipulations include those that enable the agreement to be properly executed and on which fulfillment the User may rely. The above limitations of liability do not apply to liability regarding loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health, or the assumption of a guarantee offered by Whow Games. Whow Games' liability regarding the Product Liability Act or within the scope of § 44a of the German Telecommunications Act remains unaffected.

11.4 The obligation to pay damages or compensation is limited to a slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations for the foreseeable and contractually typical damage or loss at the time the agreement is concluded.

11.5 The above exclusions or restrictions shall also apply with regard to the liability of staff, employees, representatives and/or agents of Whow Games, especially for the benefit of shareholders, employees, representatives, company bodies, and their members with regard to their personal liability.

11.6 Whow Games is liable for consultation only, as far as the question has concerned the contents of the offer.

11.7 Whow Games expressly distances itself from the content of all pages to which direct or indirect reference (also known as "links") is made from within the Services offered by Whow Games. Whow Games is in no way whatsoever liable for such content or pages. The providers of the respective sites are responsible for their content.

12. Online Dispute Resolution

13.1. The European Commission provides a platform for out-of-court online dispute resolution (OS platform), which is available at http://www.ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

13.2. The Whow Games email address is provided in the company’s IMPRINT section. We are neither obligated nor willing to participate in the dispute resolution process.

13. Final Clauses

13.1 Users are not entitled to transfer their rights under this contractual relationship to Third Parties. Anything else can only apply if Whow Games gives its prior expressed written consent in text form. Whow Games is entitled to transfer the rights and obligations resulting from this contractual relationship to a Third Party. The User shall be informed of any such transfer at least sixweeks in advance per announcement at the Portal and/or email notification. The User has the option to withdraw from use of the Games and/or Services without having to uphold any deadlines.

13.2 For any agreements concluded on the basis of these Terms & Conditions, and thus for any related claims, the law practiced by the Federal Republic of Germany shall exclusively apply to the exclusion of the UN Sales Convention. Should the user have concluded this agreement as a consumer, then the mandatory consumer protection provisions applicable in the Federal State in which the user maintains his/her habitual residency shall apply, provided they actually provide a higher or further level of protection.

13.3 Should individual provisions and/or conditions of these Terms & Conditions be or become ineffective, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions and/or conditions.
