5. SERVICES

To use our Services, you are required to read and agree with our Legal Agreements which describe your rights and obligations. This is important for us and for you as well, because the clear understanding of the terms of use of our Services allows you to avoid misunderstanding.

5.1 The Site. You can perform a number of operations using the Site, such as (a) creating an Account; (b) sharing the Site page through your Accounts in social networks; (c) asking questions to our specialists; (d) booking a meeting; (e) subscribing to news or performing some other actions. Any of these actions imply the transfer of your personal data to Xsolla, so before you begin to enter your data, read our Privacy Policy carefully.

5.2 Xsolla Products. Xsolla provides Partners and Customers with useful tools for creating and playing games:

1. Pay Station lets Partners accept payments for gaming and gaming-related purchases by providing access to many different payment methods worldwide such as credit cards, debit cards, PayPal and others. It also provides a checkout interface for Customers to confirm intended selections, securely input payment data and submit them for processing.
2. Push Payments lets Customers transfer funds directly into their gaming accounts without the requirement of logging into the game. Typical delivery methods for Push Payments include mobile banking applications and cash kiosks.
3. Anti-fraud provides Partners with advanced security to defend against fraudulent payment activity. It relies primarily on a machine-learning mechanism to review payment data and refers to regional trends and user behaviors for additional analysis. Anti-fraud also allows Partners to create and implement additional fraud detection parameters specific to their games. 
4. Subscriptions lets Partners offer timed access to their games and/or gaming-related services through subscription plans, typically monthly. Subscription plans may be purchased via one-time or recurring payments. Customers can upgrade, downgrade, renew, freeze or unfreeze plans as they choose. Plans can be purchased using a wide range of payment methods including credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets and offline payments.
5. In-Game Store enables Partners to build and manage a catalog of vendible goods. Goods include but are not limited to: virtual currency packages, virtual items and downloadable content (“DLC”). Goods can be sold for hard currency (real-world currency) or soft currency (in-game currency, usually acquired through purchases or completion of in-game tasks or challenges). Partners can customize the appearance of their storefront interface to match the design and branding elements of their game, categorize groups of goods and promote individual goods.
6. Buy Button allows Partners to embed a direct-sales widget (button) onto a website or create a storefront based on the API for payments and management catalog. Products and goods that can be sold include game keys, which grant users access to download and/or play games; out-of-game digital goods, which include but are not limited to concept art, wallpapers, maps, guidebooks, and soundtracks; physical merchandise, which includes but is not limited to apparel and toys; in-game goods, specifically virtual currency packages and virtual items.
7. Player Inventory allows Partners to grant Customers the ability to store all purchased or earned in-game goods in one secure, synchronized location. Cross-platform functionality lets Customers access this secure location from any platform where they can access the game. Synchronization ensures that the content of the Customer’s inventory will always reflect the most recent game state accessed by the Customer, regardless of the platform used.
8. Partner Network allows Partners to create, manage and scale marketing programs intended to generate greater online awareness of their games. Programs are structured as revenue-share partnerships between Partners and the individuals or organizations invited to participate. Such participants earn revenue by delivering online content about the Partner’s game and driving game sales. The share of revenue allocated for the participation in each program is determined by the Partner. Participant types include but are not limited to affiliate networks, video bloggers (also called “influencers,” “vloggers,” “streamers,” “YouTubers,” etc.), and channeling portals.
9. Launcher lets Partners publish, distribute and operate video games both inside and outside of popular digital distribution platforms. Partners can “wrap” their games in a white-label global client app that acts as a hub where users can download games and updates, play games, and communicate with both the game Partner and the rest of the game’s user community. Partners can share news and information within their launcher about updates, fixes or future plans for game Development. Users who play a game through a Partner’s launcher can directly purchase other games from the same Partner. Partners can “wrap” multiple games within the same launcher to cross-promote and build brand equity across all games.
10. Login enables Partners to let Customers securely authenticate either using their credentials from a previously established platform or by creating new credentials for the Partner’s own account system. Once a Customer is authenticated, either through a previously established platform or a new account, they join the Partner’s secure community. This lets Partners communicate with their Customers across all platforms while remaining platform-agnostic themselves. 
11. Site Builder. Enables Partners to create their own gaming-optimized landing pages and community spaces using a code-free tool. Partners assemble landing pages from a series of “blocks,” each of which carries a different type of information about the game. When combined with a Buy Button, a Partner’s landing page produced through Site Builder can become an online point of sale (“POS”) where users can buy the game directly. Partners can also provide links for users to purchase the game through other digital platforms. Partners must provide their own written and visual content, including descriptions of gameplay and story elements, listings of content for each edition of the game (typically, a game key plus an increasingly robust collection of extras for each one), recommended system requirements and all visual assets (e.g. concept art, key art, screenshots, videos, etc.).

5.3 The Software means the software, applications, content, games other digital materials which Xsolla has been authorized by the respective Software developer or publisher to offer Customers for purchase. All licensing relations between the Customer and Xsolla are described in the EULA. You should carefully read and understand it before deciding to purchase the Software. Also make sure to read our Refund policy to know your consumer rights and responsibilities before purchasing the Software.

Please note that Xsolla is not the developer of the Software and cannot affect the Software quality or guarantee that it will meet any of your expectations. The Software is provided “as is” and on an “as available” basis without warranty or condition of any kind.

5.4 Physical goods. From time to time, we may offer certain physical goods for sale directly to you through the Xsolla Products such as playing cards or caps, etc. The terms and conditions pertaining to the sale of such products are governed by our Refund Policy as well as our Partner’s policies.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

1. Governing Law. These Terms and their interpretation, as well as any disputes that arise hereunder, shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California, USA, without giving effect to any principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Your national law may explicitly give you rights and obligations to resolve disputes in a manner different from the one indicated below. In this case, your national law applies. The U. N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is hereby expressly disclaimed.

(i) If you are a Customer, in respect of any and all claims regarding the Site and (or) Xsolla Products, the application of these Terms are between you and between you and Xsolla (USA), Inc., a company registered in the USA, State of California with company registration number C3140351 and with offices at 15260 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 2230, Sherman Oaks, California, 91403 USA; (ii) the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, govern these Terms and your use of the Site and (or) Xsolla Products; and (iii) you expressly agree that for claims and disputes not subject to the arbitration agreement below, exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be determined by final and binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, before a single arbitrator. You and Xsolla agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be resolved by arbitration by one arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, Applicable Law and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website at www.adr.org, and the provisions of these Terms. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California, USA. The cost of any arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties, but the Arbitrator shall be authorized to enter, as part of the award to a party, an amount equal to reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs related to the arbitration, and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The Arbitrator may award equitable relief. The Arbitrator’s decision(s) shall be final and conclusively binding on the Parties, and the judgment upon such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The Arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. The Arbitrator must follow the Applicable Law, and any award may be challenged if the Arbitrator fails to do so. YOU AND XSOLLA AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The Arbitrator shall not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims and shall not preside over any type of representative or class proceeding. The Arbitrator may only award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If this specific subsection is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void.

(ii) In respect of any and all claims regarding the Software you have to be guided by Section 16 (A) of the End User Licensing Agreement.

(iii) If you are a Partner, these Terms are between you and Xsolla (USA), Inc., a company registered in the USA, State of California with company registration number C3140351 and with offices at 15260 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 2230, Sherman Oaks, California, 91403 USA; (ii) the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts-of-law rules, govern these Terms and your use of the Site and (or) Xsolla Products; and (iii) you expressly agree that for claims and disputes not subject to the arbitration agreement below, exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be determined by a final and binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be resolved by arbitration by one arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, Applicable Law and the provisions of these Terms. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California, USA. The cost of any arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties, but the Arbitrator shall be authorized to enter, as part of the award to a party, an amount equal to reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs related to the arbitration. The Arbitrator may award equitable relief. The Arbitrator’s decision(s) shall be final and conclusively binding on the Parties, and the judgment upon such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

2. Limitation of Time to File Claims. Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues; otherwise such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.
3. Disputes. Most User concerns can be resolved by use of our Xsolla support site at http://help.xsolla.com. If we are unable to resolve Your concerns and a dispute remains between you and Xsolla, this section explains how we agree to resolve it.

A party that intends to seek arbitration must first send written notice to the other party of its intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to Xsolla should be sent by any of the following means: (i) via electronic mail to legal@xsolla.com; or (ii) by sending the Notice by certified mail to Xsolla (USA), Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 15260 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 2230, Sherman Oaks, California, 91403 USA. The Notice must (x) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (y) set forth the specific relief sought. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Xsolla may commence an arbitration proceeding.

4. Term and Termination. These Terms are effective until terminated. You may terminate these Terms at any time upon notice to Xsolla. Xsolla has the right to terminate these Terms as set forth herein for breach of these Terms by you.

(ii) Termination of these Terms shall be without prejudice to any rights or liabilities accrued at the date of the termination. Once the termination comes into effect, all rights and licenses under these Terms shall terminate. Upon the termination of these Terms, you shall cease all use of the Site and (or) Xsolla Products. 

5. Notices.

6. Severability. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in these Terms, in the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining portions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute and contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior oral or written agreements. You agree that these Terms are not intended to confer and do not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties to these Terms.
7. Enforcement. Xsolla’s obligations are subject to existing laws and legal process, and Xsolla reserves the right to comply with law enforcement or regulatory requests or requirements notwithstanding any contrary term.
