APPLICATION OF THIS EULA AND ACCESS TO SOFTWARE
This EULA governs your use of ROTU’s Game client software, any updates, upgrades and expansions that replace or supplement ROTU’s Game client software, and all related documentation which are not distributed with a separate license (collectively, the "Software").
This EULA does not give you any right to obtain reissues or replacements of the Software at any time; furthermore, ROTU or any third party service provider that may operate the Game (an “Operator”) is not obliged to supply Software updates, upgrades or expansions, or even to operate or continue support the Game or Software, for an indefinite period. In the event that ROTU supplies any Software updates, upgrades or other modifications to the Software, you agree that you may be required to install or patch the Software in the manner decided by ROTU in its sole discretion so as to continue Game play. ROTU may also update the Game remotely, including without limitation, the Software residing on your machine, without your knowledge, and you hereby grant ROTU your consent to deploy and apply such updates.
To gain access to the Software, you must (a) have acquired the Software (whether on Blu-ray, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM or other physical media or by online download) by legal means, (b) have installed the Software on your device and (c) have accepted this EULA.
The Software alone does not give you the right to play the Game. You are responsible for all taxes and costs of acquiring any hardware, software, Internet connections or other products or services required to play the Game. To play the Game, you may need to enter into a separate agreement with ROTU or with an Operator, subject to additional terms including terms of service, a privacy policy and/or a code of conduct. You may need to subscribe to an online service, and provide additional information to create an account with ROTU and/or an Operator (an “Account”). Accounts may only be available to persons of legal age and, solely under the supervision of such persons, to any of their children under the age of majority. If you are a minor, your parents, guardians or legal caregivers must complete the registration procedure, whereby they must take all responsibility concerning the obligations set forth in this EULA. ROTU does not guarantee that the Software can be accessed on all types of hardware or devices. ROTU does not guarantee that the Game is available in all geographic locations.
LIMITED LICENSE GRANT AND TERMS OF USE
You acknowledge that the Software and the Game are owned by ROTU and that they are protected by laws governing copyright, trademark, intellectual property rights and all other property rights. Under the terms of this EULA, and for purposes of your playing the Game, ROTU grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license (without the right to sublicense) to install and use the Software and play the Game for your personal, non-commercial use solely as set forth in this EULA, the Additional Agreements and the accompanying documentation. Your acquired rights are subject to your compliance with this EULA, including the Additional Agreements. Any commercial use is expressly prohibited. The term of this EULA and your license to use the Software and Game thereunder shall commence on the date that you install or otherwise use the Software, and shall terminate as set forth in Section 7.
Unless expressly permitted by ROTU in writing or as required by applicable law, you are expressly prohibited from reproducing, sub-licensing, broadcasting, modifying, adapting, renting, lending, leasing, distributing, transferring or otherwise making publicly available the Software or rights to use the Software. Unless expressly permitted by ROTU in writing, the reproduction of all or part of any hard-copy packaging or documentation included with the Software recording media is prohibited.
This Software is licensed, and not sold. You have acquired a license to the Software and your rights are subject to this EULA. Except as expressly licensed to you herein, ROTU reserves all right, title and interest in the Software and the Game which you use the Software to play (including all characters, storyline, images, photographs, animations, video, music, text and in-game virtual property), and all associated copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein. The license granted under this EULA is limited to the intellectual property rights of ROTU and its licensors in the Software, as necessary to use the Software and play the Game as permitted under this EULA, and does not include any rights to other patents or intellectual property. This EULA does not grant any rights relating to any brands or services connected with the Software or Game. Except to the extent permitted under applicable law, you may not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Software by any means whatsoever. You may not extract code from all or part of the Software, or authorize any third party to perform or to attempt to perform such operations on the Software. You may not remove, alter, or obscure any product identification, copyright, or other intellectual property notices in the Software. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by ROTU.
Except as expressly permitted by ROTU, it is strictly prohibited to use the Software to connect with or play the Game or any facsimile thereof on any servers that are not authorized by ROTU or any Operator. In addition, you may not emulate or operate such servers or assist any third party to do so. The specific game rules, scoring rules, controls and guidelines for the Game can be found within the Software itself. Such rules, controls and guidelines form part of this EULA and you agree that you shall comply with them in respect of the Game which you choose to access and/or play. Except as expressly permitted by ROTU, it is also strictly prohibited to use any third-party software or any other device with a view to modifying the Software in any way, intercepting or scanning Game traffic or communications, changing the way the Game plays or playing in an abnormal manner or in a way that could impair the correct operation of the Game. Such prohibited third party software or devices can include, but are not limited to, those in the nature of “addons”, “hacks”, “cheats”, “trainers”, “mods”, or the like by any name. Except as expressly permitted by ROTU, the authorizations granted to you in accordance with this EULA may under no circumstances be used for the purpose of creating or supplying any opportunity for third parties to access the Game, including through server emulators or similar devices. Furthermore, you may not use the Software in a manner that would impose an unreasonable or disproportionate burden on the infrastructure of ROTU or any Operator. You agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the use of the Software and the Game.
This EULA grants you a simple license to use the Software to play the Game. You have no rights to or in the Game or its content. You expressly acknowledge that all characters created and all objects or attributes acquired and developed during Game play are an integral part of the Game and strictly remain the property of ROTU. You further acknowledge that the Software contains, without limitation, the following: (i) graphics, sound effects, music, visual animations and text (hereafter referred to as "Content") to which you have no property rights and no intellectual property rights, and (ii) other content, including contributions by users of the Game.
USER CONTENT
Where by applicable law you own certain copyrights over any Content created by you by using the Software and/or the Game, you assign to ROTU all and any intellectual and industrial property rights in all and any such Content. Where such assignment is not possible, you grant to ROTU any and all comprehensive, exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully transferable and sub-licensable worldwide and assignable rights to use all Content created by you by using the Software and/or the Game immediately upon creation. These rights to use and/or utilize Content shall extend to all known forms of use and include without limitation the rights to copy, reproduce, change, adapt, modify, process, translate the Content, the rights to license and sub-license the Content to third parties, and to market, whether by way of leasing, renting, or otherwise.
You acknowledge and agree that you have, except as may be expressly permitted by ROTU, no right to and may not sell, auction, give away, or in any way make available, whether free of charge or for a fee, any Content (including any Content generated by yourself or any other user), character/avatar, object, item or any component of the Software or Game, to another person. All of the aforementioned actions, especially those performed via online auctions, forums or chat rooms, will therefore contravene the terms of this EULA. Over and above the violation of the terms of this EULA, which will entitle ROTU to terminate this EULA and your license to use the Software and play the Game, you acknowledge that the unauthorized trading or other distribution of Game content is detrimental to ROTU’s image and that of the Game, and ROTU reserves the right to seek compensation from you to the fullest extent permissible by applicable law.
To the extent that you or we make audio edits to the licensed music content incorporated herein, neither you nor we shall obtain any ownership or interest in the audio portion of any such derivative works of such licensed music content, and as between you, us and the licensor of such music content, the licensor shall retain sole ownership in any audio portion of such derivative works. The foregoing shall not apply to ROTU’s graphical or gameplay elements, or any non-audio elements added to any licensed music content (the ownership of which shall remain with ROTU).
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Game and ROTU support the creation of user generated content for the Game (“User Content”), the following terms shall apply. All User Content will be subject to the terms of ROTU’s User Content Submission Policy, which may be accessed at www.ROTU.com/user-content and be considered to be “User Content” as it is defined therein. You may also be subject to additional agreements with respect to User Content that an Operator may require. We may allow you to create User Content for the game, including, but not limited to, game levels, characters, environments, music, avatars, and weapons, and to offer such User Content to other users of the Game. You agree you will not submit or attempt to submit, and we have the right to reject, refuse to accept, remove or otherwise handle as we deem appropriate, any “Unauthorized Content” which is defined as any User Content that is or could be construed as violating any of the terms and conditions of this EULA, our User Content Submission Agreement, and/or any of the terms and conditions set forth in any Additional Agreement, including, without limitation, User Content (i) infringing on a third party’s copyright or other intellectual property rights; (ii) causing harm, harassing anyone or which may prevent, prohibit, inhibit, restrict or otherwise impair others from using or enjoying the Software or the Game; (iii) providing unauthorized access to the Software, Game or information of other users; (iv) that results in the modification, impairment, disruption, alteration or interference with the use, features, functions, operation or maintenance of the Software or the Game; or (v) that would otherwise violate any requirements, rules, terms or conditions, or laws that may be applicable to the Software or the Game. You are solely responsible and liable for all User Content that you submit or otherwise make available. You expressly agree to grant the rights set forth in Section 5 of the User Content Submission Policy with respect to any User Content you submit, and expressly agree to the provisions set forth in Section 6 of the User Content Submission Policy, including that you represent that you own the rights to the User Content you submit and the right to grant all of the authorizations, permissions, approvals, consents, rights and licenses as described in this EULA and the User Content Submission Agreement.
VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND DIGITAL CONTENT
ROTU may offer, for purchase, virtual coins, points or other virtual currencies (each individually or collectively referred to in this EULA as “Virtual Currency”). You may purchase Virtual Currency from us or third parties for real money if you are at least 18 years old. By purchasing or otherwise acquiring Virtual Currency, you obtain a limited license to access and select from content that ROTU expressly makes available as part of this Game (the “Digital Content”). Virtual Currency has no monetary value and does not constitute currency or property of any type. Virtual Currency may be redeemed for Digital Content only. Virtual Currency cannot be sold or transferred, and cannot be exchanged for cash or for any other goods and services, except for the Digital Content. Virtual Currency is non-refundable and our performance of services begins promptly once your purchase of Virtual Currency is complete. You are not entitled to a refund for any unused Virtual Currency. You agree that you will only obtain Virtual Money and Digital Content from us and not from any third party.
During the term of your Virtual Currency license, you have the right to redeem Virtual Currency for selected Digital Content. ROTU does not guarantee that any particular item offered as part of this Game will be available at all times or at any given time. ROTU does not guarantee that we will continue to offer particular items for any particular length of time. ROTU reserves the right to change and update our inventory of Digital Content without notice to you. Once you have redeemed Virtual Currency for Digital Content, that content is not returnable, exchangeable, or refundable for Virtual Currency or for cash, or other goods or services.
When you acquire Digital Content, you receive a limited license to use Digital Content for your personal non-commercial use with any specified permitted services that ROTU identifies from time to time. ROTU reserves all right, title and interest in Digital Content and all associated copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights therein. This Digital Content license is limited to the intellectual property rights of ROTU in the Digital Content and does not include any rights to other patents or intellectual property. You may not remove, alter, or obscure any identification, copyright, or other intellectual property notices in the Digital Content.
The term of your Virtual Currency and Digital Content license starts when you acquire Virtual Currency and/or Digital Content, and subject to this EULA, ends the earlier of (1) the second anniversary of the date of purchase or award (as the context requires and applicable to each individual purchase or award) and (2) the day that your access to this Game is cancelled, suspended or terminated as set forth in this EULA. If you have not used your Virtual Currency for twenty-four (24) months or more and your account has a Virtual Currency balance, your Virtual Currency may expire and your account may be cancelled for non-use.
RESPECT FOR PRIVACY AND CONSENT TO USE OF DATA
To facilitate the provision of any updates or upgrades or expansions to the Software, any dynamically served content, product support, product development and improvement and other services to you, including marketing, tailored communications and online play of the Game, you agree that ROTU and third parties (including any Operators, if applicable, and those listed in Appendix A) which are providing ROTU authorized services to you in connection with this Software, may use cookies, web beacons and other analytic technologies to collect, use, store and transmit analytics, metrics, behavior data, game play statistics, technical and related information that identifies your device, application software and peripheral hardware, including, but not limited to, MAC Address and/or unique device id or UDID, IP address, geo-location, device make and model, operating system, third party account authorization data, session data, browser identifiers, connection type, carrier information and purchase metrics.

Notwithstanding the above, if you purchase any Virtual Currency via the Game, we do not collect or store any payment information from you.
You may allow the Game to interact with a third party social network or platform. If you use our Game and you agree to allow it to interact with a social network or platform, you are giving us permission to use your personal information which that social network or platform shares with us that will allow us to identify you.

These social networks or platforms are created and maintained by a third party which is not a part of, or controlled by ROTU. Any information that we may collect may be subject to the policy of any social network that you may agree to link the Game to. You should ensure that you read the social network’s terms of service and privacy policies to understand how they treat your data and what data they might share with the Game. If you do not agree to these practices you should make changes to what data a third party social network shares with us or not allow the Game to interact with your social network(s).
Personal information collected from or submitted by you through a Game may be transferred to and stored on servers and equipment located in a destination outside your country of residence. The servers and equipment on which your data is stored and processed may be owned and operated by third parties with whom ROTU has contracted to receive, store and process your personal information. In addition, ROTU and those third parties that it has designated, may further transfer, store and process your personal information on servers and equipment located in other countries.

This Game may include third party dynamic behavioral in-game advertising technology which enables tailored advertising to be temporarily uploaded into the Game on your device and replaced while you are online. When you use this Game, we or third parties operating the advertisement serving technology may use demographic or other information collected directly from you and/or from third parties such as age and gender as well as information logged and/or collected from your device using cookies, web beacons and other technologies to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the Game and to calculate the number of unique and repeat views of advertising. This technology also controls the number of times you see a given ad, delivers ads that relate to your interests and measures the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

ROTU does not guarantee that all third parties that may collect information about you via this Gmae have an opt out for behavioral tracking. In addition, ROTU opting out of behavioral tracking from some or all of the entities listed in Appendix A will not opt you out of advertising entirely. Rather, if you opt out, you may continue to receive the same amount of ads, but they may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests. This ad serving technology is integrated into the Game; if you do not want to use this technology, do not install or use this Game.
Your use of online features available via the Game, if any, is governed by ROTU’s Terms of Use, available at http://www.ROTU.com/terms.

You may be able to choose to play against or challenge (A) an opponent whom we or the Game select for you, or (B) one of your contacts on a platform or social network which you have allowed the Game to interact with. Some of our Games may also allow you to search for your friends in order to find them to play against or challenge. We may also display the display names of your past opponents or friends so that you can easily find them to play again. Where ROTU or the Game selects an opponent for you, we may either select at random or use such criteria as we see fit to select your opponent. By using a Game that allows you to play against an opponent, you agree to your display name, scores and other related details being displayed to other users.
ROTU may also collect, use, store, transmit and publicly display statistical data regarding game play (including scores, rankings and achievements), or identify content that is created and shared by you with other players.

ROTU has the right to withdraw or modify the Game (in whole or in part) and terminate this EULA at any time without liability to you for any reason, including, without limitation, technical reasons, to allow us to improve user experience, where we have legal reasons for doing so, because it no longer makes business sense for us to provide the Game or because we have altered the services we provide. There may also be times when the Game is not available for technical or maintenance related reasons, whether on a scheduled or unscheduled basis.
This EULA is effective until terminated. ROTU may also terminate this EULA immediately without prior notice if you fail to comply or otherwise violate the terms of this EULA, infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party, or manifestly endanger public order or good moral standards as determined by us in our sole discretion.
