SERVICE PROVIDED CONTENT
“Service Provided Content” consists of those materials provided to you (e.g., unlockable content, accounts, stats, virtual assets, virtual currencies, codes, and achievements) in connection with use of the Solaris Studio Services. While the Solaris Studio Services may allow you to “earn”, “buy”, or “purchase” Service Provided Content within or in connection with gameplay, you do not in fact own or have any property interest in the Service Provided Content. Unless otherwise specified in writing, any Service Provided Content that you receive is licensed to you as set forth herein, and you shall have no ownership right thereto. Unless specifically permitted by Solaris Studio, you may not, sell, lend, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer any Service Provided Content. Service Provided Content may not be transferred or resold by you for commercial gain in any manner, including, without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. Service Provided Content may be altered, removed, deleted, or discontinued by Solaris Studio at any time (e.g., upon termination of this Agreement and/or cessation of online support for the Solaris Studio Services), even if you have not “used” or “consumed” the Service Provided Content prior to alteration, removal, deletion, or discontinuation.
Without limiting the above, Service Provided Content may include virtual coins, points or other virtual currencies (“Virtual Currency”). By purchasing or otherwise acquiring Virtual Currency, you obtain a limited license (which is revocable by Solaris Studio at any time unless otherwise required by applicable laws) to access and select from other Service Provided Content. Virtual Currency has no monetary value and does not constitute currency or property of any type. Virtual Currency may be redeemed for other Service Provided Content only, if at all. Virtual Currency cannot be sold or transferred, and cannot be exchanged for cash or for any other goods and services, except for other Service Provided Content, where applicable. Subject to applicable local law, Virtual Currency is non-refundable. You are not entitled to a refund or any other compensation such as Service Provided Content for any unused Virtual Currency and unused Virtual Currency is non-exchangeable.
There may be Service Provided Content (should you choose to purchase it) which will require you to make a payment with real money, the amount of which will be set out in the Solaris Studio Services. All Service Provided Content will be made available immediately when you purchase it with real money, and you acknowledge that this is the case and that you will have no right to change your mind and cancel (sometimes known as a ‘cooling off’ right) once your purchase is complete.
All Service Provided Content are unconditionally forfeited if your Solaris Studio account is terminated or suspended for any reason, at Solaris Studio’s sole discretion, or if Solaris Studio discontinues any Service Provided Content program. Solaris Studio may also, at its sole discretion, delete or alter any Service Provided Content that you have unlocked or purchased, or limit your access to any Service Provided Content, for any reason (e.g., upon detection that your account has engaged in prohibited conduct,) subject to local laws. Solaris Studios has no liability for hacking or loss of your Service Provided Content. Solaris Studios has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse you for any Service Provided Content lost due to your violation of these terms and conditions. Solaris Studios reserves the right, without prior notification, to limit the order quantity on any Service Provided Content and/or to refuse to provide you with any Service Provided Content. Price and availability of Service Provided Content are subject to change without notice.
VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND VIRTUAL ITEMS
You may have the opportunity to use virtual, in-game or in-app currency (“Virtual Currency”) or license a variety of virtual, in-game or in-app items (“Virtual Items”) that can be used through the Solaris Studio Mobile App or Solaris Studio games. You may be required to pay a fee to obtain Virtual Items or Virtual Currency. You have no property interest in any Virtual Currency or Virtual Items. Any purchases of Virtual Currency or Virtual Items (whether through actual monetary transactions or accumulation through membership benefits or gameplay) are purchases of a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use such Virtual Items or Virtual Currency within the applicable Solaris Studio Mobile App or Solaris Studio game. Virtual Currency and Virtual Items may not be transferred or resold for commercial gain in any manner, including, without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. Virtual Currency and Virtual Items have no monetary value, and cannot be used to use products or services other than within the applicable Solaris Studio Mobile App or Solaris Studio game. Virtual Currency and Virtual Items cannot be refunded or exchanged for cash or any other tangible value. If you do not redeem your Virtual Currency or Virtual Items, so long as your Solaris Studio account remains active and in good standing, you will be offered an opportunity to convert any unused Virtual Currency or Virtual Items into one or more in-game or other options determined by Solaris Studio at its sole discretion. All Virtual Currency and Virtual Items are unconditionally forfeited if your Solaris Studio account is terminated or suspended for any reason, at Solaris Studio’s sole discretion, or if Solaris Studio discontinues any Virtual Currency or Virtual Item program. Solaris Studio has no liability for hacking or loss of your Virtual Currency or Virtual Items. Solaris Studio has no obligation to, and will not, reimburse you for any Virtual Currency or Virtual Items lost due to your violation of these terms and conditions.

GAME CONTENT USAGE RULES
Your use of our data and content must be non-commercial, unless you obtain Solaris Studio’s prior written permission. That means you don’t own our stuff, so you can’t sell it, use it to sell other things, or give other people permission to use it. The license that we grant to you only covers the things that we create: the “Solaris Studio Content” (as defined below). If we have a license to use someone else’s music or art, we can’t extend it to you, so you’ll have to reach out to them for permission.
We ask that you put some time and effort into your content. Make it your own. Don’t just upload a copy of our video and slap ads on it. We don’t slap ads on our own stuff. If you do that, we reserve the right to have the content removed and send you a nasty letter.
In fact, we can change this policy, or order you to stop sharing our content for any reason, at any time without warning, even if we have previously given you permission. We have a hard time imagining why we’d do that, but we reserve the right.
All of your use of the Solaris Studio Content must comply with these Terms and the Content Usage Rules (as defined below).

You must not sell or earn any revenue or other compensation from Your Content, including any advertising revenue or subscription revenue.

You must not use the name of any Solaris Studio games in the title of Your Content.
You must not grant anyone else an exclusive license to distribute Your Content.
Your Content must not infringe any intellectual property rights, violate any person’s rights (such as right to privacy), or misappropriate any person’s intellectual property.

Anyone else who uses Your Content must follow the Content Usage Rules.

If you don’t obtain Solaris Studio’s prior written permission and you violate any of the Content Usage Rules, your license to use the Solaris Studio Content will terminate automatically.
If you share Your Content with anyone else, (a) you grant to Solaris Studio a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sub-licensable, transferable license to Solaris Studio and its assigns to use, create derivative works of, distribute, display and perform Your Content and to use your name if Solaris Studio chooses in connection with Your Content, in each case, without paying any compensation to you, and (b) you must include the following notice about the Solaris Studio Content with Your Content, whether in a README file, on the appropriate web page, or anywhere else that makes sense so that users of Your Content see the notice:

For purposes of these Terms, “Brand Features” means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of Solaris Studio and its licensors.
In using Brand Features, you will not:
Display a Brand Feature in any manner that implies a relationship or affiliation with, sponsorship, or endorsement by Solaris Studio, other than your use of the Solaris Studio.net API, or that can be reasonably interpreted to suggest editorial content has been authored by, or represents the views or opinions of Solaris Studio or Solaris Studio personnel;
Use Brand Features to disparage Solaris Studio, its products or services;

Except as set forth in this Section, nothing in these Terms will grant or will be deemed to grant you any right, title or interest in or to Brand Features. All use by you of Brand Features (including any goodwill associated therewith) will insure the benefit of Solaris Studio.
