Before signing in or connecting an account, you must acknowledge our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process the information we receive.

In-Game Items have no monetary value against us and we do not redeem them for money. Account-bound In-Game Items cannot be sold, traded or transferred. Where we make In-Game Items tradable through a third-party marketplace, such as the Steam Community Market, that trading is also governed by the terms of that marketplace.

2.7 If you breach these Terms, we may, in proportion to the breach, suspend or terminate your account, restrict or end your access to any Service, or remove or revoke In-Game Items, titles and other benefits held on your account. Unless doing so would breach the law, compromise an investigation or create a risk of harm to any person, we notify you of the action we take, the reason for it and how you can challenge it.
