When the law in force in the territory from which the user should have access determines full capacity at a different age, by general rule it is established that the persons that according to the legislation in force in the place of residence may validly declare their consent for the execution of contracts may use CHAMPIONS OF REGNUM.

3.- User registration

In order to access to CHAMPIONS OF REGNUM and to use great part of the offered services and contents, the prior registration of the user is required. The object of said registration is to establish the identity and contact information of the user.

When the supplied information does not comply with the real circumstances of the person that provides it, it will be considered that the user has breached these Terms and Conditions, being responsible for all damages that may derive therefrom for NGD STUDIOS or any third party as consequence of said lack of truth or correctness.

IN CASE THE USER SHOULD STATE A DIFFERENT AGE THAT HIS REAL AGE, AND/OR GIVES FALSE DECLARATION THAT HE/SHE HAS THE REQUIRED PARENTAL AUTHORIZATION FOR THE PARTICIPATION IN CHAMPIONS OF REGNUM, IT WILL BE CONSIDERED SERIOUS MISCONDUCT.

Once registered, the user will have a username and access password that will authorize the access to his user account.

In case the password should be forgotten or lost, NGD STUDIOS will reserve the right to request real identity verification of the requesting user, as requirement for the generation of a new password.

It will also be the responsibility of each user to keep the personal information stated in the registration updated as may be necessary, and must communicate each time changes in the relation thereto may take place.

NGD STUDIOS may reject any registration request, or cancel a previously accepted registration, without having to justify said decision, and this will not generate any right whatsoever for the user.

In all cases, and in agreement with the Privacy Policy maintained by CHAMPIONS OF REGNUM, the personal information supplied by the users will be treated and preserved adequately, protecting the privacy of the users.

Considering that CHAMPIONS OF REGNUM uses technological systems that under certain conditions may be fallible, the users must know that NGD STUDIOS does not guarantee absolute inviolability of its systems, therefore the users must take this circumstance into consideration at the moment of choosing to register.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

GENERAL

We do not collect any personal information from you, unless you provide it to us voluntarily. If you decide to provide us your personal information (e.g., name, email address, and mailing address), we will only collect the personal information which is needed to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives.

MEMBERSHIPS AND REGISTRATION

In order for you to register, we require you to provide us with an email address, sometimes birth date, gender, and real name. In order to pay for a certain feature on our sites additional information, such as your real name and billing information, will be required. You may be asked to choose a user name and password. Please do not use your real name or the real name of another person when selecting a user name. Please note that your user name will be available to the Internet's general public while you participate in some services, like chat rooms or message boards. Personal information disclosed by you within our chat areas, instant message service, message boards, or during game play can be collected by other users of such services and may result in unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for protecting such information that you may disclose to third parties through our services (e.g. sending your telephone number to another user through the chat service). To the extent that you create a public profile that may be available to others on our sites and services, you are solely responsible for its content and accuracy at all times. To edit, change, or delete such information, follow the instructions on the web site.

EMAIL NEWSLETTERS AND FRIEND TO FRIEND PROMOTIONS

You must have a membership account in order to receive emails from us. You can op out of receiving future emailing from us by following the directions contained in the email to "unsubscribe." Also, except in jurisdictions where it may be prohibited by law to do so, some NGD sites and Services may ask you to submit information about other people. For example, we may offer "Tell a Friend" promotions. In these situations, users are asked to provide the e-mail address and, sometimes, the name of a friend. After the "Tell a Friend" transaction is completed, that information is deleted.

CONTESTS AND PROMOTIONS

To participate in some of our competitions, contests, tournaments, cups, and other promotions, you may be asked to provide additional personal information such as your mailing address. In each such case, no new personal information will be collected from you without your consent. This information may be collected by NGD or by third parties such as co-sponsors or vendors for the promotion. NGD's use of any such information will be governed by this Policy. The names of third parties such as co-sponsors (other than vendors hired by NGD to conduct, administer, and execute a promotion on behalf of NGD) will be disclosed to you when you are asked to sign up for the promotion. You should review such third parties' privacy policies to see how they may use any information that they collect.

ONLINE PURCHASES AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT

When you buy credits to activate extra features in the games, we will also require that you provide us with the necessary billing information such as your real name, credit card information, street address, etc., so that we may provide the service. Issues related to customer service, billing questions, technical and computer support, etc. may also require you to provide us with some personal information so that we may resolve the issue properly.

ONLINE GAMES

When you play any of the games offered and/or served by NGD, or use any of the communication features on the Sites, your IP address (the Internet protocol address from which you access any of the above) may be stored in our records. Our update service routine may check your computer to see that you have the most recent version of game-specific files; when you communicate within any game or any other communication feature (e.g. live chat, instant message services), even "privately" to another person, you do so with the understanding that those communications go through our servers, can be logged and monitored by us, you have no expectation of privacy in any of those communications and, accordingly, you expressly consent to monitoring of communications (including technical support and customer service communications) that you send and receive. When you log into our online games, your system specifications (such as OS, web browser, java version, RAM, video card, monitor, system configuration, etc.) may be reviewed/recorded by us for the purposes of analyzing and optimizing your game experience and in order to provide you with customer service. Sometimes we may review/record an automatic log file created from the game. The log file contains information about your latest match played and some information about your system specifications such as processor, video card, system configuration, etc. We use these files to track down and find bugs in the game to be able to make the game better.

WHAT NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU

General, aggregated, demographic, and non-personal information may be collected by NGD. It will not be linked to any of your personal information, through cookies or other means, without your consent. This type of anonymous aggregated profiling and session data may include information that you have provided to us through surveys, polls, etc., but will not be tied to any personal information, without your consent. It may also include aggregated anonymous information about site usage and the customer base. In many cases, NGD will automatically collect certain non-personal information about your use of its sites and services. NGD might collect, among other things, information concerning the type of Internet browser or computer operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your "click path" through the NGD site, and the web site or advertisement that was linked to or from the NGD site when you visited. To do this, NGD may use cookies and other technology (see below). Your visits to our web sites, and information provided through these technologies, will be anonymous unless you provide us with personal information or have provided such information in the past. For example, if you've created a membership account, your account information (including name, email address, and billing and shipping information) may be linked to the items you purchased (i.e., billing history).

This game incorporates advertisement serving technology, which allows certain items, objects or images (e.g. advertisements) to be placed in the game via your PC, MAC or console. The technology collects information about the PC, MAC or console and the IP address on which the game is played and information on how the game is played, in particular regarding interactions with the advertisements served into the game and other items. This information is processed by a third party provider of advertisement serving technology for purposes of calculating fees owed by advertisers and monitoring advertisement efficiency. Your IP address and other information described above may be sent to a foreign jurisdiction for processing via the Internet. That third party provider will not know who you are or try to identify or contact you. By playing the game and accepting our rules and privacy policy you consent to data processing. In some jurisdictions, IP addresses may be viewed legally as personally identifiable information. You hereby acknowledge and agree to NGD collection and use of your IP address as non-Personal Information even though your ip address may be viewed legally as personally identifiable information. By the use of this game, you hereby consent to the temporary upload of the Placements to your PC; and the Non-Personal Information being collected and shared with third parties.

HOW WE USE AND SHARE THE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU

Personal information which we collect for a particular purpose will only be saved and used for that purpose, unless you have agreed to allow us to use it for some other purpose, as described in this Policy. For example, if you make an online purchase, and unless you have given us permission to do otherwise, we will only collect and save the personal information you provided to us, including your billing and delivery information, in order to (1) complete the sale, (2) comply with tax and other applicable statutes, (3) maintain accurate business and financial records (in accordance with accepted standards), and (4) assist with customer service and returns.
When you have provided personal information to us for a particular purpose, we may disclose your information to other companies that we have engaged to assist us in fulfilling your request. This may include, but is not limited to, fulfillment houses, billing services, transaction managers, credit verification services, and other third party service providers. We may also disclose any of your personal information to law enforcement or other appropriate third parties in connection with criminal investigations, investigation of fraud, infringement of intellectual property rights, or other suspected illegal activities, or as otherwise may be required by applicable law, or, as we deem necessary in our sole discretion, in order to protect the legitimate legal and business interests of NGD. We may use the information we collect from you for the purpose of providing you with technical support, customer service, and account maintenance. We use the information we collect to learn what you like, tailor your experience accordingly, and to improve web sites and our other products. We send e-mail to our members who want to receive e-mail from us. However, if you don't want to receive e-mail from us, you can unsubscribe on the e-mail received.

Except as described in this policy, we will not give any of your personal information to any third party without your express approval, and the only personal information we will ask you if you want us to share with third parties is your name, your mailing address and e-mail address.

You will be deemed to have consented to the disclosure to, and use by, a subsequent owner or operator of the Sites, of any personal information contained in the NGD database for such site, if NGD or one of its companies assigns all of its rights and obligations regarding the use of your personal information at the time of a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of NGD's or such NGD company's assets to a subsequent owner or operator, or similar event.

INFORMATION ABOUT LINKS AND THIRD PARTIES RELATED TO OUR SITES AND SERVICES

From time to time, we may provide links to third party web sites. This Policy does not apply to third party web sites, whether we provide a link to such sites or not, so we encourage you to review the policies of all such sites carefully, as your rights will be governed by those third party policies and not by NGD's. Additionally, there may be unauthorized third party web sites that may be providing links from their sites to our web sites without our knowledge or control. We are not responsible for the content of any third party web sites, expressly disclaim any statements or assertions made on such web sites, and deny all liability associated with your use of, and the content on, such other sites or advertisements contained therein.

To do so, you may send us an e-mail at support@ngdstudios.com.ar. If you choose to have your personal information removed from our active databases, we will do so within a reasonable time after your request and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal data is not used (except as may be required by law) by NGD after your notification to us.
