You agree that by accessing and/or using our Services, you accept these terms and our privacy policy (the "Privacy Policy") (see paragraph 10 below).

1.2 You certify that you are at least 12 years old. If you are between 12 and 18 years of age, you certify that your legal guardian has read and accepted these terms and conditions and has authorized you to access and/or use our Services.

1.3 You can access these Terms at any time at www.olemains.com/cgu. We may change these Terms at any time, in accordance with paragraph 14 below, and your continued use of our Services following an update to the Terms will constitute acceptance of the new version.

2 Access to and use of our Services

2.1 The rules, scoring systems, controls and recommendations for each Game can be found directly in the relevant Game. Such systems, rules, controls and guidelines are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions and you agree to abide by them when accessing and/or playing a Game.

2.2 You are responsible for the internet connection and/or mobile charges that may be incurred when accessing and/or using our Services. If you are in any doubt about such charges, you should consult your mobile operator or internet service provider before accessing and/or using our Services.

2.3 We reserve the right to discontinue or modify our Games or any part of our Services (in whole or in part) at any time, without any liability to you, for any reason including, without limitation, the following:

  • for technical reasons (such as technical difficulties encountered by us or related to the Internet);
  • to enable us to improve the experience for our users;
  • for legal reasons (including privacy or other legal objections to the content or conduct of our Games or Services);
  • because the provision of the Game or Service concerned is no longer profitable for us;
  • due to changes in our services.

2.4 Our Services may also be unavailable from time to time, either in whole or in part, for any reason, including for technical or maintenance reasons.

2.5 Purchase of items on our Site or in one of our Games The price charged for an item sold via our Website or on one of our Games corresponds to the price displayed on the Website or, as the case may be, on one of our Games at the time of your purchase, except in the event of an obvious error. The price includes all taxes. Depending on your bank, additional taxes and deductions may apply; we have no control over these and therefore disclaim any responsibility for them. If you have any doubts about these additional taxes or withholdings, we advise you to check with your bank before making a purchase from our Site or any of our Games. We accept payments through our partners by credit card, debit card and PayPal only. Our partners may have their own terms of use, so it is best to check with them to see if you agree to the terms before making a payment. If your transaction is not validated by our partners, your purchase will not be recorded.

2.6 Subscriptions

You can subscribe to this app to access premium features and unlimited content. Subscription options can be: 1 week with 3 day trial, 1 month, 1 year. All prices are subject to change without notice. We occasionally offer promotional pricing as incentives or time-limited opportunities for eligible purchases made during the promotional period.

Due to the time-sensitive and promotional nature of these events, we are unable to offer price protection or retroactive discounts or refunds for previous purchases in the event of a price reduction or promotional offer. Payment will be charged to your iTunes account upon confirmation of purchase. Subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current term. The account will be billed for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period at the price of the chosen plan. Subscriptions can be managed by the user and automatic renewal can be disabled by accessing the user's iTunes account settings after purchase. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period. You can cancel a subscription during its free trial period via the subscription setting in your iTunes account. This must be done 24 hours before the end of the subscription period to avoid being charged. Please visit https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202039 for more information. You can disable automatic renewal of your subscription through your iTunes account settings. However, you cannot cancel the current subscription during its active period. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be lost when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, if any.
