XS Software provides Users access to the Games in principle as of the creation of a User Account (see Sec. 1.2 above). In this case, the User will initially only be provided with a basic version of the Game. The creation of an Account and the use of the basic version are free of charge. The basic version of the Game can be used indefinitely and without restrictions in Game function, without prejudice to XS Software's right to withdraw the Game. In the basic version, the User does not have full access to all Game features.
7.1.2 Premium features
The User has the option of receiving features which are not available in the basic version (hereinafter referred to as "Premium Features") in return for payment. The Premium Features offered may vary from one Game to another. Information pertaining to the prices of the Premium Features offered, the functions included with these Premium Features and their requirements for use can be obtained from the website of each respective Game.
Depending on the Premium Feature and price, a one-time payment may have to be made in order to credit an Account with features or items which may be used for certain purposes subject to the respective rules of a Game, or to make payments which are due periodically, such as on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannual or yearly basis.
XS Software Games are continually being developed. XS Software therefore reserves the right to offer new Premium Features at any time. In the course of adapting and developing the Games, XS Software also reserves the right to discontinue individual Premium Features and/or to offer them in the basic version (see Sec. 7.1.1 above). If a User has already made advance payments for Premium Features and cannot use these Premium Features because they are no longer offered and/or are also offered in the free basic version, XS Software will offer the User other Premium Features of their choice as a substitute and/or reimburse the sum they have already paid on a pro-rata basis. In this case, the User has the right to terminate the contract with immediate effect. Further claims by the User are considered invalid.
If the User is not of legal age, he/she explicitly guarantees upon ordering such Premium Features that the necessary funds to pay for these Premium Features have either been given to him/her for this particular purpose or for him/her to use at his/her own personal discretion.
If there is a possibility of downloading software to a mobile phone allowing access to individual games, the rules for Premium Features will also apply for payment of these accrued costs.
7.1.3 Subscription / Automatic Renewal
If payments for Premium Features are to be made at regular intervals, the User effectively enters into a subscription for these Premium Features that will automatically be renewed if it is not cancelled by the User before the end of the set time limit as stipulated in Sec 8.2 below. The subscription terms are described in the rules for the respective Games.
7.1.4 Payment Conditions and Due Date of Payment
XS Software is authorized to ask for advance payment for the use of Premium Features (see Sec. 7.1.2 above). Such payment will be due upon conclusion of the contract and will be debited from the bank account or charged to the credit card account provided by the User, inasmuch as the User has not opted for another form of payment, for example, payment by text message for Premium Features. The amount to be collected will be displayed as "XS Software.com" or XS Software on credit card bills or bank account statements.
7.1.5 Adjustment of Fees
XS Software reserves the right to reduce prices or to offer new products, services or methods of payment at any time either on a temporary or permanent basis. In addition, XS Software is authorized to change prices at any given time with six week's notice either in writing or by e-mail sent to the address provided by the User. The changed price will take effect if the User does not object to the changed price within six weeks. The contractual relationship will be carried forward according to the conditions and prices which were changed. XS Software, in the course of notifying the User about these changes, will especially inform the User about the possibility of objecting to the changes, cancellation of services, the set time limit and legal ramifications in the case of failing to submit an objection.
If the User objects within the set time limit, both parties reserve the right to terminate this agreement at the end of one month, unless the right to terminate immediately according to Sec 8.1 already exists. Until termination of the contract, the original Terms & Conditions will remain in effect.
Any payment made for Games and/ or Services which extend beyond the termination date will be reimbursed to the User on a pro-rata basis. Further claims by the User are considered invalid.
7.2 Late Payment
In case of late payment, XS Software is authorized to charge interest set at 5% above the current base lending rate. XS Software is also entitled to discontinue Services and to suspend the User's Account(s) if payment is overdue. During the Account suspension period, no charges for subscriptions which have been entered into will accrue. XS Software, however, is authorized to impose a processing fee for suspending an Account, for informing the User of Account suspension, for reactivating the Account or for creating a new Account upon payment in full. The amount of the processing fees can be found on the XS Software.com portal by accessing the respective Game and/or Service. The User is entitled to prove that no damage occurred or that a substantially lower level of damage was caused due to late payment.
7.3 Direct Debit Reversals, Cancellation Fees
If XS Software incurs costs and/or losses as a result of User default or insufficient User bank account funds, and/or if XS Software is charged a cancellation fee due to the cancellation of a direct debit payment, the User will bear all cancellation fees generated as a result of these actions. XS Software is entitled to demand payment of the costs incurred from repeated attempts to debit the charges from the User's account together with the original fees. If payment of fees is made by direct debit or credit card, and a debit reversal occurs, XS Software will charge a service fee of EUR 9.60 per direct debit/credit card transaction plus banking fees accrued. The User is entitled to prove that no damage occurred or that a substantially lower level of damage was caused due to late payment.
7.4 No Guarantee of Prizes
XS Software does not guarantee prizes to Users. In particular, the Users do not have the right to claim the payment of prizes, unless such a claim is explicitly outlined in these Terms & Conditions.
A claim to the payment of a prize can only be permitted if XS Software has explicitly offered/advertised such a prize.
A claim to the payment of a prize also does not exist if XS Software learns that a potential claim to a prize may be the result of technical or legal manipulations and/or the result of any other kind of criminal conduct, in general. By using XS Software Games and/or Services, Users thereby agree that XS Software may conduct a thorough investigation at any time pertaining to the legality of the claim for prizes, and while this claim is under investigation may withhold the payment of the prize from the User without his/her express consent. A claim to a prize will also be forfeited if the User has not complied with the rules of the Game. If there is reason to doubt a claim, it is up to the User to provide sufficient evidence that he/she complied with the rules of the Game. The User acknowledges and explicitly accepts this obligation to provide evidence even when it is not usually common legal practice to do so.
7.5 No Set-off; No Right of Retention; No Cession
The User may only set off a claim by XS Software for outstanding accounts if his/her counterclaims cannot be disputed or have been declared legally binding. The User can only withhold payment if his/her counterclaim is related to the same Terms & Conditions. The right of the User to assign his/her claims to a third party is invalid.
7.6 Services
Unless otherwise stipulated in the Service description, Services can be used free of charge.
Furthermore, Sec. 7.1 through Sec. 7.5 apply to fee-based services.
7.7 Credit card and PayPal Subscriptions
InstantPay is a subscription service. By giving your approval to use benefit from a 20% bonus for future purchases, you will be charged once every two weeks from the moment of your first payment. Your payment information will be saved at external payment gateway provider and won't be used for any other purposes. XS Software doesn't collect any credit card and/or PayPal information and will not be liable if any damages occur to the owners. You can always check the status of your subscription service from your Profile and Support -> Account overview menu in XS Software Payment system. Cancelation of subscription service can be made from Account overview menu -> Delete subscription.
8. Term, Termination

8.2 Limited Period of Time
In the event that the Terms & Conditions for using the Games, Services and/or Premium Features have been accepted for a limited period of time (see Sec. 7.1.2 and Sec. 7.1.3), the following regulations shall apply. The contract for using the Games, Services and/or Premium Features will be automatically renewed for the same period of time as the original contract unless the subscription or contract for the use of Games, Services and/or Premium Features has been terminated by the user at least 14 days prior to the end of the term.
8.3 Declaration of Reasons; Termination for Important Reason
The right to terminate the contractual agreement can be exercised by either party without stating reasons.
The parties may also terminate the contractual agreement for using the Games, Services and/or Premium Features for important reasons at any time without prejudice to the above regulations.
In the event that XS Software is responsible for a premature termination of the contractual agreement for using the Games, Services and/or Premium Features for important reasons, the User will receive a pro-rata refund for any payments made by him/her (especially for Premium Features) which apply to the period after the termination becomes effective. All other claims of the User are considered invalid unless otherwise specified in the present Terms & Conditions.
XS Software has the right to terminate the contractual agreement especially for, but not limited to, the following reasons:
- The User is late in paying fees of at least EUR 5.00 and has not paid despite having received two reminders;
- The User knowingly violates any law or the rules of the Games and/or Services, and does not discontinue his/her actions despite having received a warning. A warning is not required in case of a severe offense where it would be unreasonable to expect XS Software to remain bound by the contract;
- The User has not used his/her Account for a period of four weeks despite having received a reminder;
Cases in which it would be unreasonable to expect XS Software to remain bound by the contract generally include the following:
- The User violates criminal law;

- The User violates the prohibition of pushing (see Sec. 1.2 above);
- The User violates the prohibition of non-authorised scripts (see Sec. 1.2 above);
- The User deliberately provides false information upon registration (See Sec. 2, User application form) or while completing payment of Premium Features (see Sec. 7.1).
In the event that XS Software correctly terminates the contractual agreement for important reasons, XS Software is entitled to charge the amount of 75% percent of all fees which the User would have had to pay for the rest of the term had the User himself/herself terminated the contract within the set time limit as governed by the contractual agreement. The User's right to prove that no damage occurred or that a substantially lower level of damage was caused due to the termination remains unaffected.
8.4 Written Form for Termination
If there is no option for terminating the contract in the respective Games, the termination must be submitted in written form, whereas e-mail is considered to be in compliance with the requirement of written form. A termination for important reasons can only be declared in written form and must include the reason(s) for the cancellation.
9. Responsibilities and Other Obligations of the User; Liability for Information Uploaded by the User; Copyright
9.1 Responsibilities
The primary responsibility of the User is to pay the accrued fees, unless he/she uses the basic version of the Games and/or Services (see Sec. 7.1.1 above). Another principal responsibility of the user is correctly and completely to submit all information requested by XS Software upon entering into the contractual agreement or during the course of the contractual relation with the User. Therefore, the User declares that all information relating to his/her person or other facts relevant to the contract (especially bank or credit card details) and which he/she provides on the User application or during the course of the contractual agreement are complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge. The User obligates himself/herself to inform XS Software about any changes to this information without delay. Upon request from XS Software, the User must confirm the information. The User is obliged to follow the game rules.
