We may modify or discontinue virtual items or in-game currency at any time.

Subscriptions
Some SLIM Services require paid subscriptions to access. By signing up for a subscription, you agreed that your subscription will be automatically renewed and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorized us to charge your payment method for the renewal term. The period of auto-renewal will be the same as your initial subscription period unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of sale. The renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior subscription period, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless we notify you of a rate change prior to your auto-renewal, in which case you will have the right to cancel the renewal of your subscription. From time to time, we may offer a free trial subscription for a SLIM Service. If you register for a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill your account when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time.
When you subscribe to a SLIM Service (other than semi-annual and annual subscriptions), you have the right to cancel your contract within fourteen (14) days from the date the transaction is concluded and you will receive a full refund of the subscription fee paid. For semi-annual and annual subscriptions, if notice of cancellation is received within the first thirty (30) days following the first day of initial billing, you will receive a refund of the subscription fee paid. If we refund your subscription fee, you will still be obligated to pay other charges incurred by you in the course of using the SLIM Service prior to the date of cancellation. If you pay a periodic subscription fee for a SLIM Service, we will provide you with reasonable notice of changes to the fees or billing methods in advance of their effective date and you will be able to cancel your subscription prior to such change. If you subscribed online, we will give you the option of cancelling the subscription online.
The Payment Process
You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your payment, including delivery address (if applicable), payment method and product/service details. We will send to you a notice when we accept your order/request and our acceptance will be deemed complete and for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time we send the notice. At such time, the contract for sale/delivery will be made and become binding on both you and us. The risk of loss in any service you payed for and the responsibility to insure them gets to you when the relevant services/products are delivered.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any request prior to delivery. Some situations that may result in your request being cancelled include system or typographical errors, inaccuracies in product or pricing information or product availability, fairness among consumers where supplies are limited, or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We also may require additional verification or information before accepting a request. We will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your request. If your request is cancelled after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will refund your payment.

By consenting to delivery, you acknowledge that you have lost the right to cancel. License purchase fees paid for digital content are non-refundable.

If you are returning goods that are not faulty, you may be required to pay for the cost of returning the goods to us and we may deduct a reasonable amount if you use the goods.
Pricing; Taxes
We may revise the pricing for products and services we offer. When you place your order, we estimate the applicable tax and include that estimate in the total for your convenience. Except to the extent required under applicable tax laws, the actual tax amount that will be applied to your order and charged to your payment method is based on calculations on the date of shipment, regardless of when the order was placed.

If there are rules or conditions for a competition and such rules or conditions conflict with these terms, the provisions contained in the rules and conditions govern and control the competition.
Entries
Your competition entry is User Generated Content and subject to all provisions of these terms that govern your submission and our use of your User Generated Content. We may disqualify entries that are late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, lost, illegible or invalid or where appropriate parental consent was not provided.

Use of automated entries, votes or other programs is prohibited and all such entries (or votes) will be disqualified.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel or terminate a competition or extend or resume the entry period or disqualify any participant or entry at any time without giving advance notice. We will do so if it cannot be guaranteed the competition can be carried out fairly or correctly for technical, legal or other reasons, or if we suspect that any person has manipulated entries or results, provided false information or acted unethically. If we cancel or terminate a competition, prizes may be awarded in any manner we deem fair and appropriate consistent with local laws governing the competition.
Eligibility
To enter a competition, the competition must be open to residents in your country and you must be a registered user of the SLIM Services and have an active account with current contact information. No purchase is necessary to enter a competition and a purchase will not improve your chances of winning.

If you are under age 18 (or under the age of majority under applicable law) and the competition is open to you, we may need your parent or guardian’s consent before we can accept your entry. We reserve the right to request proof of identity or to verify eligibility conditions and potential winning entries, and to award any prize to a winner in person. Competitions are void where prohibited or restricted by law. Potential winners who are residents in jurisdictions where competitions require an element of skill may be required to answer a mathematical test in order to be eligible to win a prize.
Prizes
No cash or alternative prizes are available, except that we (or the party providing a prize) reserve the right to substitute a similar prize of equal or greater value. Prizes cannot be transferred (except to a child or other family member) or sold by winners. Only the number of prizes (cash or alternative) stated for the competition is available to be won and all prizes will be awarded provided a sufficient number of eligible entries are received and prizes are validly claimed by the date provided in connection with the competition, after which no alternate winners will be selected or unclaimed prizes awarded. Unless otherwise disclosed in the prize description prior to entry, winners are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with claiming a prize. All taxes are solely the responsibility of each winner, although we reserve the right to withhold applicable taxes and each winner agrees to complete any required tax forms.
Your acceptance of a prize constitutes agreement to participate in reasonable publicity related to the competition and grants us an unconditional right to us to use your name, town or city and state, province or country, likeness, prize information and statements by you about the competition for publicity, advertising and promotional purposes subject to applicable law and regulations, all without additional permission or compensation.

- BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither you nor Silver Light Integrated Media will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitrations or proceedings.
You and Slim agree to arbitrate, as provided below, all disputes between you (including any related disputes involving Silver Light Integrated Media or its affiliates), that are not resolved informally, except disputes relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. “Dispute” includes any dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, between you and us concerning the SLIM Services or this Agreement, whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and SLIM empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable.
- In the event of a dispute, you or SLIM must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute to SLIM, 14a Bayo Dejonwo Street, Maryland 100211, Lagos, Nigeria. Attention: Legal. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and SLIM will attempt to resolve a dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. After that sixty (60) day period and not before, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. You may instead litigate a dispute in small claims court if the dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court, whether or not you negotiated informally first.
- If you and SLIM do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under The Arbitration and Conciliation Act (Chapter A18, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004), (“ACA”)is the national arbitration law. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Arbitration will be administered by ACA Meditation, Arbitration and Court Services (“ACA”) in accordance with the ACA Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “ACA Rules”). The ACA Rules and instructions about how to initiate an arbitration are available at http://www.nigeria-law.org/ArbitrationAndConciliationAct.htm. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in either Lagos or Abuja, whichever is more convenient for you; provided, however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Lagos or Abuja, ACA may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and SLIM agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in either Lagos or Abuja, whichever is more convenient for you, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to you individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.
Except as provided above with respect to jurisdiction in Lagos, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed as consent by SLIM or its affiliates to the jurisdiction of any other court with regard to disputes, claims or controversies unrelated to the SLIM Services or this Agreement.
Choice of Forum
For all SLIM Services NOT provided by Silver Light Integrated Media Company the following shall apply:
Except to the extent required under applicable local law which requires that venue be in the country of your residence, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these terms or the SLIM Services that is not subject to arbitration shall be filed, and that venue properly lies, only in the state or federal courts located in the city of Lagos or Abuja in Nigeria and you consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating such action.
Choice of Law

Except to the extent that applicable local law requires that the law to be applied for contracts of this type be that of the country of your residence, these terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Lagos State and the laws of Nigeria, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.
Severability
If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Survival
The provisions of these terms which by their nature should survive the termination of these terms shall survive such termination.
Waiver
No waiver of any provision of these terms by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
