4. Software
Our software may only be downloaded and used with a membership subscription that grants access to the software. After all subscriptions have expired, the software must be removed from your end device. The software is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that the software will be available at all times, or that it will be free of errors or defects. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the software at any time without notice. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that may occur as a result of your use of the software. This includes, but is not limited to, your game account being banned or suspended and your game not running smoothly (e.g. with reduced performance) when using our software.
Unless otherwise stated in the product description, a 64-bit version of either Windows 10 or Windows 11 is required to use our software. We do not offer support for other Windows versions than Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The use of our software requires a permanent internet connection to communicate with our servers (e.g. for authentication) and is limited to a single active connection per user, regardless of the number of compatible devices the user may own. As previouls stipulated, the user may not pass on or lend the software to third parties and the reproduction or redistribution of the software is expressly prohibited. When using our software, aggregated information about the user's computer hardware (HWID) and internet service provider (IP & ISP) is stored on our server in order to identify the user and his system on their next login. If the information differs from the previously stored information, we reserve the right to make the software inaccessible until the matter has been resolved via customer support. The software may remain inaccessible to the user indefinitely if there is evidence of a violation against these terms or other conditions incorporated herein. This is a common industry standard. In addition, we may store a user's public Steam-ID, which is not considered personal information under the Steam Privacy Policy, for diagnostic purposes.
An account suspension (e.g. for violating the community guidelines) on our website will result in the inability to use our software regardless of active subscriptions. As previously stipulated, attempting to disassemble our software is prohibited and, depending on the situation, we reserve the right to take legal action as reverse engineering software is illegal by law.
5. Products, Pricing & Payment
5.1 Products
All products are for your personal use only and we do not participate in any B2B business. Also, all products are subject to availability and we reserve the right to discontinue products or change the price of products at any time for any reason. Unless expressly described as something different, all products offered by us are virtual, non-refundable and non-recurring software subscriptions. Recurring subscriptions will always have the word "recurring" prominently placed in their title. Subscriptions grant partial or full access to our software and after purchasing a subscription, you may use our software to download and/or stream additional features to your computer that are included in the subscription an unlimited number of times during the subscription period for which you have paid.
5.1 Billing and Payment
When performing a purchase on our website, you agree to provide us with accurate and complete billing information including your legal name, address, email address, and payment information. By submitting this information, you grant us the right to pass the information on to third party payment service providers for the sole purpose of carrying out and facilitating the completion of purchases. If such information is false or fraudulent, we reserve the right to terminate your use of, or access to, our platform in addition to seeking any other legal remedies. All purchases are paid in Euro and are due as stated during the checkout. We may apply taxes, including VAT, or transaction fees on any charges. Attempting to perform a fraudulent chargeback through a payment provider will result in your account being suspended immediately and permanently.
5.2 Automatic Renewal
Subscriptions will not be renewed automatically unless explicitly stated. If you sign up for a subscription that is automatically renewed, you acknowledge that your purchase is subject to automatic renewal until you cancel the subscription and that your payment method will be automatically charged.
5.3 Cancellation
Subscriptions without automatic renewal cannot be canceled. Subscriptions with automatic renewal can be cancelled at any time but must be cancelled before it renews for a subsequent month in order to avoid being charged for the next month's subscription fee. If a subscription is cancelled, the cancellation will become effective at the end of the then-current monthly subscription period. You can cancel recurring subscriptions at any time directly on our website or alternatively by sending an informal email where the email address matches the email address of your account.
5.4 Refunds
If you are not a customer domiciled in the European Union, refunds will not be provided for any digital goods. We do not provide credit, refunds, or prorated billing for subscriptions that are cancelled mid-month. In such a circumstance, access to the subscription remains until the end of the monthly billing cycle. We reserve the right to offer refunds, discounts or other consideration in select circumstances at its sole discretion. Please note that each circumstance is unique and election to make such an offer in one instance does not create the obligation to do so in another.
As for any other, non-digital goods, you shall have thirty (30) days from the date of delivery to return a product to us for a full refund for any reason unless specified otherwise. We reserve the right to refuse refunds for products which are worn/used (as applicable) or damaged after the date of delivery. Except for products damaged prior to the date of delivery (e.g. during transport), you will not receive a refund of shipping costs.
5.5 Right of Withdrawal
If you are a customer domiciled in the European Union, you can withdraw from any purchase without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract. To exercise the right of withdrawal you must inform us of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email). You can use the model withdrawal form below the copy of our Cancellation Policy, but this is not mandatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your notification of exercising your right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
If you withdraw from a purchase contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 calendar days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise. Please note that not all payment methods which can be used for payments allow a direct reimbursement (e.g. pre-paid cards). Reimbursements for such payments will be facilitated by us via another, common payment method. In any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
You will lose your right of withdrawal if the contract regards the supply of digital content or goods that are not supplied on a tangible medium and the performance of the contract has begun before the end of the withdrawal period with your prior express consent and acknowledgment that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. While performance of the supply of digital content typically refers to the moment the download of that content begins, we voluntarily honor requests to withdraw from the purchase of a software subscription within 14 days of purchase, as long as our software has not been used, i.e. downloaded and no login has been performed.

6. Cheating in Video Games
When cheating in multiplayer games, you are voluntarily breaking the End User License Agreement (EULA) that you agreed to when purchasing or installing the game. As a result, the rights holder of the game can take action against you if they find out that you are cheating. This could include banning your game account, resetting your progress, or taking other action, including legal action, to penalize you. Cheating opens you up to be, under certain circumstances, sued for damages, or even face criminal charges if you are caught.
We as a cheat provider cannot be held responsible for any damage you suffer from cheating. We are also not responsible or liable for any potential consumer claims on intellectual property of third parties. If you choose to cheat, you do so at your own risk. You, as the consumer, protect us from third-party claims and will be held responsible for any damage that you cause.
