All such terms are incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service. As a User, your use of any or all of the Services, indicate that you accept the Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy and other applicable terms depending on the Service you use including without limitation the terms of sale (“Terms of Sale”) of third party providers and other “game rules” and that you agree to comply with them fully.

These Terms of Service are also made available via stores that you download our games from (such as Steam, GreenMan Gaming etc.), on any website or platform where you can play our games. By installing, using or otherwise accessing the Services, you agree to these Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU MUST CLICK ON THE BUTTON THAT INDICATES THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ACCEPT THESE TERMS OF SERVICE AND/OR IMMEDIATELY CEASE USING THE SERVICES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE,YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SERVICES (OR ANY PART THEREOF).

ASE 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 in the Terms of Service. You will be deemed to have accepted such changes by continuing to use the Services after the Terms of Services have been updated. We recommend that you consult the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about any updates to the Terms of Services.

You agree not to interrupt or attempt to interrupt the operation of the Services in any way.

II. ACCOUNT

A. Creation and upkeep of your Account

In order to access and use certain Services such as an ASE game you may be required to create an account with ASE (the “Account”). If you have questions about Account registration, please contact us at info@aliceandsmith.com. You are responsible for obtaining (at your own cost) all necessary devices and telecommunications services required to access the Services.

Only “natural persons”, as opposed to any kinds of legal entities (e.g., corporations, limited liability companies, and/or partnerships) can create an Account. By entering into the Terms of Service and creating an Account, you represent that you are an adult and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract in the jurisdiction where you reside and that you meet our age criteria to do so. You agree to comply with these Terms of Service on behalf of yourself and, at your discretion, any other person (including, but not limited to, any minor children for whom you are the parent or legal guardian) whom you have authorized to play any ASE game using your Account. You further agree that you are solely responsible and entirely liable for all activities conducted through the authorized use of your Account, and you are responsible for ensuring that you and/or your child is aware of, understands, and complies with the terms of these Terms of Service and any and all other applicable terms.

To create an Account, you must have a valid email address and provide truthful and accurate information. You must be eligible to use the Services for which you are registering. Some Services may require creation of a “username” or a “persona”. Usernames and personas are tied to your Account. You may not use a username or persona that is used by someone else, is vulgar or offensive, violates anybody’s trademark or similar rights, or otherwise violates any of the Terms of Service. ASE reserves the right to block or remove any “username” or “persona”, if the use thereof violates any of the Terms of Service, laws or regulations, including, without limitation, personality rights, rights of privacy, or trademarks.

You are also responsible for all unauthorized activity on your Account to the extent that it is caused by your failure to safeguard your Account’s access credentials. Your Account may be suspended immediately and/or terminated after a notice of breach if someone else uses it to engage in activity that violates these Terms of Service or is otherwise improper or illegal. You should not reveal your Account password to others. We will not ask you to reveal your Account password, or initiate contact with you asking for answers to your password security questions.

B. Accuracy and Use of your Account Data.

You agree to supply true, accurate, up-to-date and complete personal information and make any necessary changes to keep your personal information up-to-date. If any contact details (including without limitation, username and e-mail address) change, you agree to notify ASE in writing within thirty (30) days of such change or to make the necessary changes through your Account.

You shall not claim to be any other person or entity and shall not represent your identity or an affiliation with any other person or entity in an inaccurate way, including by using the username, password or any other information relating to someone else’s Account or the name, likeness, voice, image or photograph of another person or by providing false information concerning a parent or legal guardian when prompted to do so during the registration process.

You acknowledge and accept that ASE may take action to check the accuracy of the information you provide, including by carrying out undefined checks of any landline or mobile telephone number and/or e-mail address you have given for a parent or legal guardian when applicable. In order to protect other Users and prevent risks of fraud, you agree to send the necessary authorizations and supporting documents to ASE upon request by e-mail, fax or post. The documents requested may include a copy of your national identity card or your passport.

If you provide any information that is false, inaccurate, outdated or incomplete, or ASE has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is false, inaccurate, outdated or incomplete, ASE has the right to suspend or terminate your Account and prohibit any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof) by you.

You also agree to inform ASE as quickly as possible of any unauthorized use of your username, password or other information concerning your Account or of any other security violation concerning or involving the Services which comes to your attention by contacting us at info@aliceandsmith.com.

C. Online Payments

For some Services, you may make purchases, whether you shop on ASE website(s) or directly in-game. When you do this, you agree that ASE may share your personal data with third parties, companies or organizations, which may collect and process your personal data in order to proceed with online credit card transactions, delivery, discounts and promotional gifts. To make a purchase on ASE website and process your online payment, you may be asked to provide the following information to a payment provider: your name, your address, your e-mail address, your country of residence and your banking details (i.e. your credit card number, the name of the credit card owner, the expiration date and security code). This information may be stored in ASE’s premises, or, when relevant, in a third parties’ premises. Such storage is necessary to allow ASE to manage internal accounts, checking, accounting, compliance, and for legal purposes, in accordance with our PRIVACY POLICY. In some instances, you may be asked to give your telecommunications provider’s name, your cell phone model and a valid phone number in order to provide you with purchasing instructions directly via your cell phone.

III. RULES OF CONDUCT.

A. General Guidelines

You must not use the Services (this includes our website, webpages and games) in any improper or unlawful manner or in breach of any legislation or license that applies to you. Without limiting the foregoing, you must not use the Services in any of the following ways:

This above-referenced list of prohibitions only provides examples of unacceptable conduct and is not intended to be a complete or exclusive list of prohibited conduct. Your online conduct should be guided by common sense and respect for others who access and use the Services (whether or not such third parties are registered users of the Services) and for the employees and representatives of ASE.

You must also obey all national and local laws, regulations and rules that apply to your activities when you use the Services. ASE reserves the right to suspend the use of your Account and terminate your Account after notice of breach and to prevent your use of any and all Services if your Account is used to engage in illegal activity or in violation of these Terms of Service.

If you encounter another user who is violating any of the aforementioned rules of conduct, please report this activity to ASE by contacting info@aliceandsmith.com.

B. Hacking Policies

Program assisted brute-forcing, hacking of site infrastructure (wp-admin, server, etc) is not allowed under any circumstances.

If an item is meant to be accessible, it will be so by virtue of hints pointing to this fact.

If there is a suspicion that a given area should be accessible, manual – not assisted – attempts are allowed, and this includes manual brute-forcing attempts, but not program assisted attempts.

These guidelines are in place to help ensure the experience is enjoyable for everyone; automated attacks stress servers immensely and discovering a login by virtue of automated attacks could quite easily lead to gaps in reasoning that may be crucial for later stages.

In addition, they are also there to help prevent players from moving outside the confines of what is lawfully permitted; again, hints to what is and what isn’t part of the game are crucial in these respects and ignoring or going beyond these could quite easily land Agents outside of the law.

Failure to comply with these guidelines and repeated attempts will be interpreted as malicious intent to either belittle the experience of others, or to gain an unfair advantage not intended to be had by the game.

IV- THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND VENDORS

We may provide links to other web sites. Some of these web sites may charge separate fees, which are not included in any subscription or other fees that you may need to pay ASE. You may have to use your phone to solve some mission or go in a live event if applicable. Any separate charges or obligations that you incur in your dealings with third parties are your responsibility.

Third party web sites are in no way approved, vetted, checked or endorsed by us and you agree that we will not be responsible or in any way liable for the content, accuracy, compliance with relevant laws or accessibility of any information, data, advice or statements or for the quality of any products or services available on such third party web sites.

Links to such third party web sites do not necessarily imply that we or any of the ASE Services are affiliated to or associated with such third party web sites or the operators of such third party web sites.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER ABOUT ANY THIRD PARTY WEB SITES WHICH YOU MAY ACCESS THROUGH ANY OF ASE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICE THAT ARE PROVIDED BY ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY WEBSITES.

If you decide to visit any third party web site, you do so at your own risk. In addition, your use of any third party web site may be subject to your acceptance of such third party web site’s own terms and conditions, which we suggest you read carefully before proceeding.
