Your purchase of a Subscription may grant you access to special Service features and items for a limited period of time equal to the longevity of the Subscription plan you purchased. You also may be offered a Free Trial version of a subscription plan, which, after expiration of a clearly specified free trial period, will automatically be extended to a paid subscription plan of the same kind and you will start to be billed for it. The Subscription Free Trial can, however, be terminated at any time, within its Free Trial period of time, without any conditions and/or consequences whatsoever. Subscriptions may only be refunded primarily in accordance with platform provider (i.e Steam, Apple, Amazon, Google etc.) valid Refund Policies and our Refund Policy consequently.

5.3. Duration. If you purchase a Subscription prior to the start of availability of the Service, your Subscription Period will start when the Service is live. If you purchase a Subscription at any time after the start of the live Service, your Subscription Period will start when we, or our platform provider (e.g. Steam, Apple, Amazon, Google etc.) confirms your payment. In either case, your Subscription will continue for a per-subscription plan defined period of days (days as 24-hour periods from the date of confirmation of your payment). When you purchase a Subscription, you may have the option to auto-renew that Subscription. At the end of each of such Subscription Period, you will automatically be signed up and billed for an additional number of days (equal to the number of subscription days you previously paid for, or had a Free Trial for) at the then-current pricing. If, at any point, you do not wish your Subscription to auto-renew, you may use our application, or our platform provider (e.g. Steam, Apple, Amazon, Google etc.) designated methods via the particular app store applications and subscription termination policies to terminate such a Subscription. Subscriptions may only be refunded primarily in accordance with platform provider (e.g. Steam, Apple, Amazon, Google etc.) valid Refund Policies and our Refund Policy consequently.
5.4. Multiple Subscriptions.

These “stacked” Subscriptiones will remain valid as long as the Service is offered for license by Krieg Games in your territory.
5.5. Eligibility. In order to become eligible to purchase a Subscription, you may have to purchase any other valid Service packages granting access to the Service (whether in pre-sale or post-launch sales).
5.6. Fees. Krieg Games reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the amount of the subscription fees for the Subscription. In the event of a modification, Krieg Games will change prices of Subscriptions in the Shopping Panel, Premium Account tab of the Service. However, the new prices will only be applicable to you from the date of your automatic Subscription renewal, if any, and no modification of prices will affect Subscriptions already purchased by you.
5.7. Cancellation. If you disagree with those price modifications or otherwise wish to cancel your Subscription, you may cancel your subscription by using our, or the platform provider (e.g. Steam, Apple, Amazon, Google etc.) designated methods via their particular app store applications and subscription cancellation policies to cancel such a subscription.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to conflict of law principles.

The arbitration will take place in Brno/Ostrava, Czech Republic, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances.

As part of the arbitration, both you and Krieg Games will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator's decision regarding the Claim, the award given (including any attorneys' fees and costs awarded), and the arbitrator's findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator's decision is based.
Nothwithstanding the terms of this Section, either of us may bring a lawsuit in court for equitable relief, for any misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights, or for any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use of the Service.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND KRIEG GAMES WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
