2. ONLINE CONTENT

By "Content" we mean all of the games, software, communications, images, sounds, and all the material and information you see on Website. WEBZEN does NOT pre-screen all Content. You bear the entire risk of the completeness, accuracy or usefulness of Content found on Website.

 

Strong vulgar language, crude or explicit sexual references, discussions of illegal drugs, and hate speech are always inappropriate Content for Webzen.com. The standard may vary depending on where you are accessing Webzen.com from, the type of game you are playing and the expectations of the local community in which you reside. Some game play and chat rooms may involve use of stronger language than others, including expletives. We request that you always use your best judgment in providing or utilizing Content and engaging in other conduct in connection with the Service. See Section 3, Online Conduct, for additional information.

 

WEBZEN may monitor any Content on Webzen.com at any time. But we cannot monitor all of the Content on Webzen.com, and we do not attempt to do so. If you encounter any Content that you do not agree with or find objectionable, please report it to the game support or send an e-mail complaining the area in which the incident occurred. WEBZEN does NOT endorse, approve, or pre-screen any Content that you or other users communicate on the Service. WEBZEN does NOT assume any responsibility or liability for Content that is generated by Members or other guests on Website. We reserve the right to remove Content that is objectionable to us in our sole and absolute discretion. WEBZEN does NOT assume any liability for any failure to remove, or any delay in removing, any Content.

 

Our Services may include fictional currencies such as coins, gold coins and points ("Virtual Money") and virtual items or services for use with our Services ("Virtual Goods"). You can buy Virtual Money from us for real money if you are a legal adult in your country of residence. If you are a legal adult in your country of residence, you may also be able to buy Virtual Goods for real money and/or other credits. You agree that you will only purchase Virtual Money and/or Virtual Goods from us or our approved third-party store, but NOT from any third-party. We reserve the right to charge fees for the right to access or use Virtual Money or Virtual Goods, and we revise the perceived value or pricing for any Virtual Money or Virtual Goods. We may also decide to distribute Virtual Money or Virtual Goods without charge, in our sole discretion.

After when transactions of virtual items are made, you do NOT own Virtual Goods or Virtual Money but instead you purchase a limited personal revocable license to use Virtual Goods or Virtual Money exclusively within the Services - any balance of Virtual Goods or Virtual Money does NOT reflect cash or stored value. You have no other rights, title or ownership with respect to Virtual Money or Virtual Goods. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT VIRTUAL MONEY OR VIRTUAL GOODS HAVE NO CASH VALUE AND CAN NEVER BE EXCHANGED FOR REAL MONEY, GOODS OR SERVICES FROM US OR ANYONE ELSE.

You agree that all sales of Virtual Money and Virtual Goods are final and that we will NOT refund any transaction once it has been made. A license to use Virtual Goods or Virtual Money is granted immediately when your purchase is complete. The performance of our Services begins and completes promptly, and therefore your right of withdrawal is lost at this point. We reserve the right to control, regulate, change or remove any Virtual Money or Virtual Goods in our sole discretion and without any liability to you. We prohibit and do NOT recognize any purported transfers of Virtual Money or Virtual Goods effectuated outside of our Services, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the “real world” of anything that appears or originates in our Services, unless expressly authorized by us. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void and may subject your account to permanent termination NOT subject to refund.
