E. Location Information
Some of your location information is collected and utilized by the Services automatically, such as location pulled from your Wi-Fi access point or internet service provider or cell towers or other sensor data from your device(s). The information is then utilized within the Services/games in order to utilize your general location for purposes of gameplay. This type of location information that is collected and utilized by the Services automatically is often-times (but not always limited), and is not as accurate as GPS or other types of location information.
For most Services, we also attempt to additionally collect GPS and/or other location based information upon Service launch. To the extent required by third parties, this will be done on a voluntary basis (e.g., Apple currently requires us to ask for permission before the very first GPS fetch, in which such case we allow for you to deny our Services permission to utilize the GPS data). To the extent allowed by third parties, however, we will (and reserve the future right to in the event that Apple or other third parties change their policies), collect and utilize this and other location based information within the Services/games in order to utilize a more accurate location for purposes of gameplay.
In the event that we are required to ask for permission for a specific type of location data, and you deny the permission, you hereby agree and acknowledge that the Services and their functionality may be extremely limited or unusable.
You agree to the above by use of the Service. Regarding such location information as we may collect, with or without your permission as required by law or third parties, or that you may share, add, disclosure, identify, or modify in the Service, you should be careful of and aware that by your disclosing your location, that such information may be available to the public and identified with your Service user name and Service user profile. By utilizing the Services, and if you decide to add, identify, share or otherwise disclose additional information about your location in the Service, or use personally identifiable information in your user name or user profile or communications in or related to the Services, you are doing so entirely at your own risk with the knowledge that location information will be utilized in the Services.
F. Public Areas and Invitee Areas
“Public Areas” are those areas of our Site or Service such as chat rooms or forums, message boards, bulletin boards, news groups, and pages that include testimonials, to which you may send communications that are publicly available to anyone who may have access to that public area. “Invitee Areas” are those areas of our Site or Service that may be accessed only by you and any of your invitees logging in with his/her Account username. You should be careful about your communications in Public Areas because these communications disclose to the public your user name and user profile and any Personal Information you choose to disclose. Similarly, you should be careful about your communications in Invitee Areas because these communications disclose to your invitees your Account username and any Personal Information you choose to disclose. Any information you include in any public profile, such as your message board profile, or in your messages using third party instant messaging communications (such as, but not limited to, Twitter) is also available to others. You (and not MeanFreePath) are solely responsible for your communications and the consequences of posting these communications to any Public Area and/or Invitee Area.G.

In addition, your interactions with third parties from whose websites or platforms portions of the Service or Service Content may be made available are solely between you and such third parties.

Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods
-
The Service may include virtual, in-game currency, including game coins, game cash, and/or game points (collectively, “Virtual Currency”) and/or virtual, in-game digital items, such as assets, upgrades, weapons, armors, items, commodities, abilities or other goods (the foregoing, together with Virtual Currency, collectively referred to as “Virtual Items” or “Virtual Goods”), in each case that may be “earned” or “purchased” from MeanFreePath for legal tender or actual currency if you are of legal age in your jurisdiction of residence and, subject to applicable law. You agree that all sales of Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency are final. Purchases of Virtual Goods and/or Virtual Currency are non-refundable to the full extent permitted by law; no refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion.
You acknowledge and agree that all Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency purchased by you are forfeited if your Account or these Terms of Service are terminated or suspended for any reason or if MeanFreePath discontinues any or all portions of the Site or Service.
MeanFreePath has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate any or all Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods as it sees fit in its sole discretion. Prices and availability of Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods, as well as the ways that you can use or transfer them, are subject to change without notice. We expressly reserve the right to stop issuing Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods entirely. In the event MeanFreePath issues any free or promotional Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods to users, we may expire these at any time. MeanFreePath shall have no liability to you or any third party for the exercise of such rights regarding Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Goods.
- Limited License. You understand that use of real world terms (“earned,” “bought,” “purchased,” etc.) are only being used as shorthand, and you do not in fact “own” or have any rights with respect to the Virtual Items or Virtual Goods, and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, you may purchase a limited license to use the Service, including software programs, games or applications that occasionally manifest themselves as these items; you have a limited right to use the Virtual Items in connection with certain features of the Service, such as the “purchase” of a Virtual Good. Virtual Currency, Virtual Items, and any balances of the same shown in your Account do not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license. Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service, MeanFreePath grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency within the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes. Except for the foregoing limited license, you understand that you have no right, title, or interest in or to any such Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency, or any other attributes associated with the use of the Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency appearing, originating or stored in the Service.
- No Transfer. Transfers of Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods are strictly prohibited except where explicitly authorized within the Site or Service. Regardless of the terminology used, however, you may not buy or sell any Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods outside the Service or exchange, redeem or otherwise transfer them for actual currency (“real world” money), goods or other items of monetary value from or to MeanFreePath, any other user of the Service, or any other person or party. Doing so or any attempt to do so will be a violation of these Terms of Service and may result in a lifetime ban from the Service and possible legal action.
- No Ownership or Sale of the Account or Virtual Items. MeanFreePath does not recognize the transfer of MeanFreePath Accounts. You may not purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, or offer to purchase, sell, gift or trade any Account, and any such attempt shall be null and void. MeanFreePath owns, has licensed, or otherwise has rights to all of the content that appears in the Service. You agree that you have no right or title in or to any such content, including without limitation the Virtual Goods or Virtual Currency appearing or originating in the Service, or any other attributes associated with any Account. MeanFreePath does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual property executed outside of the Service, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the “real world” of anything that appears or originates in the Service. Accordingly, you may not sell in-game items or currency (Virtual Goods, Virtual Items, or Virtual Currency) for “real” money, or exchange those Virtual Items for value outside of the Service.
J. Modification
MeanFreePath reserves the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or Service, including any content thereon, or any parts of the foregoing with or without notice. You agree that MeanFreePath will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Site or Service, including any content thereon, or any parts of the foregoing with or without notice.
K. Security
Security is a high priority for us, and we make reasonable efforts to protect your Account through the design of our Site and Service, as well as through technical means, including the use of encryption and firewalls. However, no company, including MeanFreePath, can fully eliminate security risks connected to handling data on the Internet and you acknowledge, understand and agree that we cannot and do not guarantee the security of your Account or Your Content, including your Personal Information, while it is transmitted over the Internet or stored on our Site or Service.
L. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
-
Informal Negotiation. Subject to the exceptions expressly provided in Paragraph 4 below, you and MeanFreePath agree to first attempt to negotiate the resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim related to these Terms of Service (“Dispute”) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Disputes include, but are not limited to all questions of arbitrability, the existence, validity, scope or termination of these Terms or any provision thereof. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other. MeanFreePath will send its notice to the email associated with your account. You will send your notice to support@meanfreepath.com .
- Binding Arbitration. If you and MeanFreePath are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or MeanFreePath may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, the Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and the Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
- Restrictions. You and MeanFreePath agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between MeanFreePath and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law,
- no arbitration shall be joined with any other;
- there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and
- there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
- Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and MeanFreePath agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
- any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or MeanFreePath’s intellectual property rights;
- any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and
- any claim for injunctive relief.
- Location. You agree that any arbitration shall be initiated in the County of San Francisco, State of California, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of San Francisco, State of California, United States of America, and you and MeanFreePath each waive any objection to the jurisdiction and venue of such court.
- Governing Law and Remedies. Except as expressly provided otherwise, these Terms of Service and any action related thereto or to the Service will be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed by the parties. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made to MeanFreePath under these Terms of Service are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which may result in immediate and irreparable harm to MeanFreePath for which remedies at law are inadequate. MeanFreePath shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligation to post any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief.
- Severability. You and MeanFreePath agree that if any portion of this Section L is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Paragraph 4), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Paragraph 4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor MeanFreePath will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Paragraph 4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of San Francisco, State of California, United States of America, and you and MeanFreePath agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
M. Termination
-
Termination by You. You may terminate your Account with us at any time and for any reason by providing notice of termination to us through either of the following methods: by submitting a request via the in-game support channels, or by issuing an email to support@meanfreepath.com .

Termination of your Account can include disabling your access to the Service or any part thereof including any content you submitted or others submitted.
- Effect of Termination. In the event that we terminate or suspend your Account, you will have no further access to your Account or anything associated to it. As stated above, you will not be entitled to a refund of any Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods acquired, earned, purchased or developed during your use of the Service. You can lose your user name and/or persona and/or your Game Play Record (as such term is defined the MeanFreePath Privacy Policy) as a result of Account termination or limitation, as well as any benefits, privileges, earned, purchased, developed, or acquired items associated with your use of the Service, and MeanFreePath is under no obligation to compensate you for any such losses or results. All licenses granted to you in these Terms will immediately cease upon any termination of these Terms. As previously stated herein, if your Account or access to the Site or Service is terminated or suspended whether by you or by MeanFreePath, you will not be entitled to any refund nor will any Virtual Currency or Virtual Goods be credited or reimbursed to you in any form, whether in virtual form or “real world” form, and you will have no further right to access any of the foregoing or your Account.
