    2. Users under the Age of 18

If you (or, if applicable, your parent or guardian) do not agree to these Terms of Service, then you may not use or access the Services or any part thereof. By signing up for an Account (see below, section 5 “Your Wargaming Account”), you represent and warrant that you are a “natural person” who is over the age of eighteen (18) or whose legal guardian have accepted and agreed to these Terms of Service.

    3. Amendments to the Terms of Service and the Forum Rules

    3.1 From time to time, we may need to amend these Terms of Service, for example to reflect or include new products or services, to enhance security for our users or because of changes in the law. Also, we may from time to time need to amend the Forum Rules for serious reasons, for example to ensure that the Games Forums operate smoothly and to reflect the needs of the community using the Games Forums. If we make such a change to these Terms of Service and/or to the Forum Rules, we will inform you of the particular changes in advance via e-mail no later than thirty (30) calendar days before such changes come into force and that you shall be deemed to have accepted these changes (i) unless you have notified us of your objection to such changes within thirty (30) calendar days from the moment of receipt the e-mail notification from us, or (ii) if you use the Services after the changes have entered into force. In the e-mail notification, we will inform you of your right to object, of the applicable notice period and the legal consequences of a failure to object.

    3.2 In case you object to any changes as set out in article 1 of this present section 3 “Amendments to the Terms of Service and the Forum Rules”, the previous version of the respective Terms of Service and/or Forum Rules shall continue to apply. However, in that case we have the right to close your Account and terminate these Terms of Service with fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice. In case of such termination, you are entitled to a refund according to article 2 of section 13 “Suspension and Closure of Your Account / Termination of these Terms of Service”.

    3.3 The latest version of these Terms of Service and of the Forum Rules will always be available on the Sites, so we recommend that you check for updates to these Terms of Service and to the Forum Rules each time you use the Services. Changes to the Terms of Service and/or the Forum Rules shall not affect your accrued rights, shall not substantially disrupt the contractual balance between you and us under these Terms of Service and shall not have retroactive effect.

    4. The Terms of Service, the Privacy and Cookie Policy and the End User Licence Agreement

    4.1 Our Privacy and Cookie Policy sets out how we will respect your privacy and how we use data collected by the Services.

    4.2 In order to access and use any of our Games, in addition to accepting these Terms of Service and the Privacy and Cookie Policy, you must also accept the End User Licence Agreement (the “EULA“) applicable to the relevant Game together with the game rules applicable to the relevant Game (the “Game Rules“). We set out here the link to the EULA.

    You must also accept and comply with all rules of external platforms applicable to specific Game, including but not limited to, Xbox® Games and other Xbox® services rules, PlayStation™Network licences and other Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. rules, Apple Appstore and Game Center rules, and Google PlayTM rules. Any breach of any rules of the external platforms shall also be regarded as a fundamental breach of the Terms of Service by you.

    4.3 If you do not want to accept the Terms of Service or the Privacy and Cookie Policy, then you may not use or access any of the Services. If you do not accept the EULA and the Game Rules applicable to a Game, then you may not download or use that Game.

    5. Your Wargaming Account

    Creating an Account

    5.1 In order to use the Services, you will need to create a Wargaming account (an “Account“).

    5.2 To create an Account, you must have an e-mail address and will be required to provide certain information. The details of the information that you need to provide are set out in our Privacy and Cookie Policy. It is important that you provide this information truthfully and accurately, so that we have correct details about you and your Account.

    5.3 When creating an Account you will also be required to provide a ‘user name’ and/or ‘persona’ to represent you in a Game and on our Sites. User names and personas are tied to your Account (meaning they cannot be transferred to anyone else). You may not use a user name or persona that is used by someone else, is vulgar or offensive, or otherwise breaches these Terms of Service. If you have questions about Account registration, please contact us at https://eu.wargaming.net/support/.

    5.4 Specifically, in order to use the Services for Xbox® 360 or Xbox® One Games, you will need to visit the site and sign in using your Microsoft Xbox® Live ID credentials. The Account will be automatically created using your Microsoft Xbox® Live ID credentials (e-mail and nick name (gamertag)).

    In cases, including some iOS and Android Games you may also log in through some third party system, if expressly permitted in the Game.

    To access PlayStation™Network, you need to have a PlayStation™Network account.

    5.5 Also, if expressly permitted by Wargaming, a “demo account” is possible in certain Games. In this case, you receive no separate username or password. The authorization for the Game is made through the specific technical device (mobile phone, tablet, etc.) that you use.

    However, you are strongly advised to set up a standard Account in accordance with the above provisions. If a “demo account” is used, we are not responsible to keep your progress in the Game, ensure availability of game items and Virtual Goods or safety of any monetary or valuable assets in the Account. Cases when an Account and all connected assets may be lost entirely include the loss of the technical device, loss of password or any unauthorized modification of the operating system (“jailbreaking”) or of the software.

    Account Sharing

    5.6 You must keep all information relating to your Account confidential. At no time should you disclose your Account ID or password, secret question or answer to anyone. This includes your friends, children, spouses, co-workers, clan members, and/or clan leaders.

    5.7 You may, under circumstances, be responsible for the conduct and actions using your Account and for all breaches of these Terms of Service committed by using your Account which are due your culpable omissions or conduct as regards your Account information. We shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorised use of your Account or any unauthorised access, use, alteration, modification and/or disclosure of your personal information based on your culpable omissions or conduct as regards your Account information.

    Security of Your Account

    5.8 You must ensure that you secure your Account, computer, mobile phone or other device from third party access. Please notify us immediately at https://eu.wargaming.net/support/ if you become aware of:

    • a) any unauthorised use of your Account or any other breach of security; or
    • b) any hacking tools being used or that might be used in relation to the Services.

    5.9 We have implemented physical, electronic and managerial procedures in order to help safeguard and prevent unauthorised access, use, alteration, modification and/or disclosure of your personal information. Although we use reasonable efforts to safeguard the security of your personal information, transmissions made on or through the Internet and personal information stored on our servers or the servers of third parties that we use are vulnerable to attack and cannot be guaranteed to be secure. In addition, submissions made by e-mail are not protected by encryption and are vulnerable to interception during transmission.

    6. Charges and Billing

    6.1 You do not have to pay any registration or subscription fees to create an Account. However, some of the Services may require you to pay a fee. If you decide to subscribe to any such Services, you must ensure that:

    • a) you are either over the age of eighteen (18) or, if you are under the age of eighteen (18), that your parent or guardian has agreed to and accepted the respective purchase and these Terms of Service on your behalf;
    • b) you are the authorised Account holder for the Account from which you are subscribing to the Services;
    • c) you are authorised to use the particular credit card or other accepted method of payment;
    • d) all information that you submit is true and accurate (this includes, without limitation, your credit card number and expiration date, so it is important to keep these details updated); and
    • e) you agree to pay all the fees that you incur, unless and until you close your Account and terminate these Terms of Service in accordance with these Terms of Service.

    6.2 Any applicable fees and other charges on your Account for Services fully provided by us are not refundable, except as set forth in these Terms of Service, or as it is required under the applicable law.

    6.3 Please remember that your Account is personal to you and cannot be transferred or traded with any other user.

    6.4 IF YOU ARE PLAYING OUR GAMES ON EXTERNAL PLATFORMS SUCH AS MICROSOFT XBOX®, PLAYSTATION®4 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, APPLE IOS OR GOOGLE ANDROID™, YOU MUST ALSO COMPLY WITH ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET BY THOSE THIRD PARTY PLATFORMS. THE CHARGING AND BILLING IN SUCH GAMES ARE SUBJECT TO RULES OF THE THOSE PLATFORMS. WARGAMING DISCLAIMES ANY LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE FOR SUCH PLATFORMS’ ACTIONS.

    6.5. If your issuing bank offers automatic account updater services (Visa Account Updater, Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater, or similar), these services may automatically update your payment card details in our acquirers’ systems when they change without any action on your part. If you do not want to have your card details automatically updated, please contact your issuing bank.

    • e) ‘limited’ (meaning that you can only use the Content for the purposes we set out in these Terms of Service); and
    • f) conditional on your compliance with these Terms of Service, Game Rules, Forum Rules and the EULA.

    7.3 Unless and to the extent that we have expressly authorised you in writing, you must not:

    • a) copy or download any Content from the Service or any part thereof (except as part of the proper use or operation of the Services)

    • a) we can only make the Content available to you if it is legal for you to have access to the Content in your home country;
    • b) you may only obtain the Content from us (or from any person that we authorise for this purpose) and you must not obtain Content from any other person or attempt to do so;
    • c) we reserve the right to refuse your request(s) to acquire the Content, and we also reserve the right to limit or block any request to acquire or obtain Content at our reasonable discretion, in particular insofar as there are technical issues and/or legal restrictions e.g. under copyright law, criminal law, youth protection law etc.;
    • d) we do not guarantee that any of the Content will be available at all times, in all countries and/or all geographic locations, or at any given time or that we will continue to offer any particular Content for any particular period of time (unless we expressly say otherwise as part of the Services);
    • e) the Content you have access to is not returnable, exchangeable, or refundable for other Content or for cash, or other goods or services, unless otherwise provided in the present Terms of Service or as permitted in the Services; and
    • f) we may have to change or update the Content from time to time, but we will post details of any changes in the news section of the relevant Site(s).

    8. Virtual Goods

    8.1 The Services may permit you to purchase virtual items, virtual currency (so-called “Gold“) or time-limited premium memberships (virtual items, virtual currency and premium memberships together “Virtual Goods“).

    8.2 The following provisions apply to the purchase of Virtual Goods. To purchase Virtual Goods, you need to have an Account.

    • a) To conduct a purchase of Virtual Goods at the Site, you have to click on the “Get Gold” button. Once you get to our premium shop you can then choose the Virtual Goods, which you would like to purchase. The respective price in Euro, US-Dollar or the currency applicable to your region, for the Virtual Good you would like to purchase, will be displayed. You then may choose a payment method and enter your respective payment details. The total amount of a purchase may be adjusted by adding a fee, if any, applicable to the payment method you selected and for mandatory tax payments, if any, required by law. If adjusted, the total amount of the purchase will be recalculated automatically and displayed before you confirm the purchase. If your payment is in a currency other than that of the purchase amount shown on the website, the exchange rate applied on the payment date will depend on the selected payment method.
    • b) Before you confirm your purchase by clicking on the “Purchase Now” button (or a likewise conspicuously labelled button concluding the purchase process), or by fulfilling another action required (e.g. sending a message, etc.), you will have the opportunity to review your purchase details, i.e. the particular Virtual Goods including its amount, if applicable, and respective total price including all taxes, and to correct any errors. To correct any errors you should go back to our premium shop, e.g. by clicking on the “Back” button of your browser.
    • c) By clicking the “Purchase Now” button (or the likewise conspicuously labelled button concluding the purchase process), or by fulfilling another action required (e.g. sending a message, etc.), you are sending an order to us to purchase the confirmed amount of Virtual Goods. If you have provided valid payment details within your Account, we will process your order. You will be notified of our acceptance or denial of your order by us on your screen within a few minutes from the moment of clicking the “Purchase Now” button (or the likewise conspicuously labelled button concluding the purchase process) or fulfilling the respective other action required (e.g. sending a message, etc.).
    • d) In case we accept your order, we will directly thereafter credit the purchased Virtual Goods to your Account and we will charge you via the selected payment method. You will also receive a confirmation of your purchase via e-mail, containing the contract details (the “Purchase Contract“) and these Terms of Service. Other than that, we will not store the Purchase Contract text and wording and it will not be accessible to you after conclusion of the Purchase Contract.
    • e) The Purchase Contract will be concluded in the language of the country where you live, or in the English language, unless otherwise provided under the applicable consumer protection law.

    • g) we may limit or block a request to acquire Virtual Goods for any reason.

    8.4 Information concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal

    Right of Withdrawal

    • You have the right to withdraw from any Purchase Contract within 14 calendar days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 calendar days from the day of the conclusion of the Purchase Contract.
      To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us,
      Wargaming Group Limited
      105, Agion Omologiton Avenue, Nicosia 1080, Cyprus
      e-mail: wf@wargaming.net
      phone: +357 22 864444
      fax: +357 22 864454
      of your decision to withdraw from a Purchase Contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form you find under http://content.wargaming.net/Withdrawal%20Form.docx, but it is not obligatory.
    • You can also electronically fill in and submit a withdrawal form on our website via this link: https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/600. If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
    • To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

    Effects of withdrawal

    • If you withdraw from the Purchase Contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you under this Purchase Contract, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the 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 Purchase Contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
    • If you requested to begin the performance of services under a Purchase Contract during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated us your withdrawal from that Purchase Contract, in comparison with the full coverage of these services under the Purchase Contract.
    • You lose your right of withdrawal, insofar as the Purchase Contract is a service contract, after the service has been fully performed and if the performance has begun with the your prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed by us.
    • You lose your right of withdrawal insofar as the Purchase Contract comprises the supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if the performance has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgment that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal.

    Based on the aforesaid you understand that by purchasing Virtual Goods, you consent that we make available these Virtual Goods to you directly after we have accepted your order. You will lose your right of withdrawal once the Virtual Goods have been made fully available to you by us. However, your right of withdrawal is not lost if you purchase Virtual Goods that are granted to you for a certain period of time (e.g. time-limited premium memberships).

    8.5 Please note that due to technical limitations we cannot warrant that payments made by you via a specific payment method will be reimbursed to you via that same payment method:

    You agree that reimbursements for such payments can be facilitated by us via another, common means of payment, e.g. via transfer of money to your bank account, in case reimbursements via these payment methods are technically impossible. In any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

    8.6 Applicable consumer protection law, in particular your right of withdrawal under article 4 of section 8 “Virtual Goods and Virtual Currency”, will not in any way be restricted by the present Terms of Service.

    8.7 The following rules apply in regard to the gifts made through the Premium Shop:

    • a) As of the latest ToS update, gifts are only available in World of Tanks and World of Warplanes. Please check for updates.
    • b) Please note that gifts can be made within the same game server region only, i.e. gifts from an account on the EU server cannot be made to players on the North America server.
    • c) Within 24 hours after a gift is sent, the recipient will receive a notification via email. To receive a gift, the recipient must go to the My Gifts page in the Premium Shop and accept the gift.
    • d) A recipient may accept or decline a gift. A recipient has 30 days to accept a gift (unless other acceptance period is specified for a particular gift or in-game event). If it is not accepted within this period, the sender will automatically receive the gift or compensation to their account equal to the price of the gift as at the time of purchase.
    • e) Within 24 hours after a recipient accepts or declines a gift, the sender will receive a notification via email.
    • f) If a recipient of a gift already owns a vehicle included in the gift, that vehicle’s full cost in gold as at the time of purchase in the Premium Shop will be automatically compensated to the recipient. The vehicle will not be transferred to the recipient’s account.
    • g) Any vehicles sent as a gift will be transferred together with a corresponding Garage Slot.
    • h) If the sender of a gift cancels the payment or fails to pay after the recipient accepts the gift, both accounts will be blocked until the circumstances are clarified. Please do not accept gifts from unknown senders.

    11. Feedback and User Submissions

    11.1 We are always pleased to hear from our users and welcome specific comments about our Services. Unfortunately, however, our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions or materials other than those we have specifically requested. The aim of this policy is to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects that we develop might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we must, regretfully, ask that you do not send us any original creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts or other information such as game ideas or original artwork (“Submissions“).

    11.2 Any and all Submissions that you send to us, whether at our specific request or notwithstanding our request that you do not do so, shall be deemed, and shall remain, our property from the time of uploading or transmission.

    12. Forum Rules

    12.1 The Forum Rules set out how we expect you to behave when using any of the Games Forums. Please review the Forum Rules carefully before using any of the Games Forums.

    12.2 If you contravene the Forum Rules, then we may take some or all of the following actions (depending on the seriousness of the breach) without any notice to you:

    • a) we may restrict your access to the Games Forums to read-only status for a short period of time;
    • b) we may restrict your access to the Games Forums to read-only status for a longer period of time;
