CHEF Game Studio

 

Terms of Service

 

 

 

 

1. END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

1.1. Governing Agreement

The terms of this agreement (“Terms of Service”) govern the relationship between you and CHEF Game Studio (“Chef”, "Chef Games", “chef.gs”, “chefGS”, "we", "our" or "us") regarding your use of CHEF Game Studio’s games, websites and related services (the “Service”). Use of the Service is also governed by CHEF Game Studio’s Privacy Policy, which is located at: http://www.chef.gs/privacy-policy. This Agreement requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. Before accessing or using the Service, including browsing any CHEF Game Studio website or accessing a game, you must agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. You may also be required to register an account on the Service (an “Account”). By registering for an Account or otherwise using the Service, you represent that you are age 13 or older and you understand and agree to these Terms of Service. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you represent that your legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms. If you access the Service from a Social Networking Site (“SNS”), such as Facebook, you shall comply with its terms of service/use as well as these Terms of Service.

 

1.2. Updates to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

CHEF Game Studio reserves the right, at its discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms of Service and its Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on the CHEF Game Studio Service. You will be deemed to have accepted such changes by continuing to use the Service. If at any point you do not agree to any portion of the then-current version of our Terms of Service, the CHEF Game Studio Privacy Policy, or any other CHEF Game Studio policy, rules or codes of conduct relating to your use of the Service, your license to use the Service shall immediately terminate and you must immediately stop using the Service. To the extent the Terms of Service or CHEF Game Studio Privacy Policy conflict with any other CHEF Game Studio terms, policy, rules or codes of conduct, the terms contained in these Terms of Service and in the CHEF Game Studio Privacy Policy shall govern.

 

1.3. Grant of a Limited License to Use the Service

Subject to your agreement and continuing compliance with these Terms of Service and any other relevant CHEF Game Studio policies, CHEF Game Studio grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable limited license subject to the limitations below to access and use the Service for your own non-commercial entertainment purposes. You agree not to use the Service for any other purpose. You understand that while at times you may “earn” "buy" or "purchase" (a) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in the Service; or (b) virtual in-game items (together with virtual currency, "Virtual Items"); these real-world terms are only being used as shorthand. You do not in fact "own" the Virtual Items 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 that occasionally manifest themselves as these items. The purchase and sale of the limited license referred to in these Terms of Service is a completed transaction upon receipt of your direct payment or redemption of a CHEF Game Studio coupon or a third party virtual currency like Facebook Credits. 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 license.

 

1.4. Accessing the Service

By accessing or using the Service, including browsing any CHEF Game Studio (“chef.gs”, “chefgamestudio.com” website or accessing a game, you accept and agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. You may also be required to register an account on the Service (an "Account"), have a valid account on the social networking service ("SNS") through which you connect to the Service, if any, or have an account with the applications provider for your mobile device. If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you represent that your legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms. You must provide all equipment and software necessary to connect to the Service, including, but not limited to, a mobile device that is suitable to connect with and use the Service, in cases where the Service offers a mobile component. You are responsible for any fees, including internet connection or mobile fees that you incur when accessing the Service.
