When creating your Account, you must not choose a username that infringes the rights of any third party, impersonates IdleMMO staff or administrators or other users, which is deliberately confusing, offensive, racist, obscene, hurtful, unlawful or otherwise inappropriate or which breaches the username requirements, Acceptable Use Policy or Code of Conduct.

You are solely responsible for the security of your Account. If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential. You must not disclose it to any third party.

Full details on how we use this information and why providing by you when creating your Account can be found in our Privacy Policy.

4. Membership and Virtual Currency

IdleMMO is free to play and we aim to keep it that way. However, certain premium features are available to purchase either through our membership subscription or in exchange for purchasing “Tokens” for real money.

You may purchase a membership subscription or Tokens within IdleMMO (both the app and desktop variants of the game) by providing your debit card, credit card, or other payment information. We use third-party payment processors (Stripe, Google Play, and Apple App Store) to process your payments and will share your payment information with them. All card details you provide are stored by our trusted third-party payment providers (Stripe, Google Play, and Apple App Store) and are not stored by us.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ.

Both the purchase of Tokens and the membership are subject to a number of conditions and restrictions.

Memberships are rolling monthly renewing automatically at the end of your subscription period and your chosen payment method will be automatically charged. We reserve the right to amend, modify or remove certain aspects of membership benefits (including the monthly subscription price), from time to time, in our absolute discretion. Where we do so, we will notify you of these changes in advance, usually through the release notes section within the game.

You can find details on your membership, including how to cancel your membership, within the “Settings” section of IdleMMO or via the Google Play Store subscription area depending on your method of payment.

Tokens can only be redeemed within IdleMMO; however, Tokens or any other virtual currency we may make available to you through IdleMMO have no inherent or monetary value and are not your own private property, rather they constitute a measurement of the extent of your license in a Galahad Creative Ltd product.

We do not provide any cash or refunds for IdleMMO (except as required by law) and we may impose additional restrictions relating to the purchase and/or redemption of Tokens. Where we do, we will notify you of these changes in advance, usually through the release notes section within the game.

FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, TOKENS OR ANY OTHER VIRTUAL CURRENCY AND/OR MICROCREDITS MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU HAVE NO CASH VALUE, DO NOT ACCRUE INTEREST AND, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, ARE NOT REDEEMABLE OR REFUNDABLE FOR ANY SUM OF MONEY AT ANY TIME.

5. Payment Information & Refunds

We use third-party payment processors (Stripe, Google Play, and Apple App Store) to process your payments and will share your payment information with them. All card details you provide are stored by our trusted third-party payment provider Stripe (or Google Pay, if you purchase directly through your Android device) and are not stored by us. Payments may be displayed as "Galahad Creative Ltd." or "IdleMMO" on your credit statement.

If you buy any of our paid for features (“Premium Features”), you agree to pay us the applicable fees and taxes and to any additional terms specific to those Premium Features. Failure to pay these fees may result in the termination of your paid services.

All subscription-based features (such as memberships) will renew automatically at the end of each subscription period, and your payment method will automatically be charged the current fee and taxes applicable to the new subscription period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date.
