OR THE PLATFORM.
1.
Acceptance of the Agreement
This end user license agreement is entered into by and between you
and Vermilion Studios Limited, incorporated in Gibraltar (including
all affiliates and subsidiaries, collectively referred to as,
“Vermilion,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The following terms and
conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by
reference (collectively, this “Agreement”), govern your access to and
instalment and use of the social party game named Forgotten Playland
(the “Game”), in addition to any content, functionality, and services
offered through or otherwise in connection with the Game or https://forgottenplayland.com
(or any sub-URL of such site), whether installed or used on a
computer, console, or mobile device (collectively, the
“Platform”).
Please read this Agreement carefully before you start to use the
Platform. By installing or otherwise using the Platform you accept and
agree to be bound and abide by this Agreement, including our Privacy
Policy, incorporated herein by reference and available at
https://forgottenplayland.com/privacy-policy.
If you do not agree to this Agreement, you must not access or install
the Game, or otherwise access or use the Platform.
2.
About Your Use of the Platform
Your use of the Platform requires a license (see sections 6 and 7 of
this Agreement). In no event will any ownership to the Platform be
sold or otherwise transferred to you, unless otherwise explicitly
agreed with us.
To use the Platform, you may be required to register an account in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement (an “Account”). When you
create or update an Account you must provide Vermilion with accurate
and up to date information as may be required from time to time,
including in accordance with applicable laws. You are responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality and security of your own Account (see
further info in section 5 of this Agreement).
To use parts of the Platform, a user may need to use a third-party,
non-custodial wallet software that allows the user to interact with
public smart contracts and blockchains for the purpose of unlocking
certain features relating to the Platform. We do not operate,
maintain, or provide any wallets or wallet services. We will at no
time have any custody or control of any crypto-assets that any user is
interacting with or using to unlock certain features in relation to
the Platform. We are not a wallet provider, exchange, broker, lender
or borrower.
As part of our Platform, you may from time to time gain access to
decentralized open-source smart contracts deployed on public
blockchains, such as the Beam network. Our Platform is distinct and
separate from any of the smart contracts that may be accessed through
it, and is merely one of multiple means of accessing such smart
contracts. Users can interact with the same smart contracts otherwise
directly, including to develop and build their own user interfaces on
top of such smart contracts.
Our Platform may change, which may require that we include additional
terms for certain new parts of the Platform (which, in such event,
will be construed as part of the “Platform”). We reserve the right in
our sole discretion to modify or discontinue any parts of the Platform
at any time and without any liability.
3.

of the legal of majority in your country and state of residence, (ii)

under no circumstance intended for children under 13 years of age. If
you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the
Platform.
4.
Changes to the Agreement
We may revise and update this Agreement from time to time in our sole
discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post
them.
Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of a revised
Agreement means that you accept and agree to the changes. You are
expected to check this page frequently so you are aware of any
changes, as they are binding on you.
5.

without notice. We do not guarantee that our Platform or any content
on them will always be available or be interrupted. We will not be

To be able to use certain crypto-assets owned by the user to unlock
certain features on the Platform.
Vermilion may suspend or terminate your License, or parts, components

Agreement, and/or if you violate, or assist others in violating, the
specific License limitations set forth in this Agreement. In case of
such a license suspension or termination you will not be entitled to
any compensation in regard to the respective suspended or terminated
License. For the avoidance of any doubt, as any crypto-assets owned
and used by you in connection with the Platform are not controlled by
us, you will maintain and retain ownership and control over such
crypto-assets (unless disposed of by you by other means), including in
the event that your License is terminated or suspended.

claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs,
expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out
of or relating to your violation of this Agrement or your use of the
Platform, including, but not limited to, any use of the Platform’s
content, services and products other than as expressly authorized in
this Agreement or your use of any information obtained from the
Agreement.
19. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
All matters relating to the Platform and this Agreement and any
dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case,
including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Gibraltar
without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or
rule (whether of Gibraltar or any other jurisdiction).
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Platform and
this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence,
validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by
arbitration under the rules of the London Court of International
Arbitration (“LCIA”), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be one.
The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be London, United
Kingdom. The language to be used in the arbitration shall be English.
You and Vermilion agree to submit all Disputes between you and
Vermilion to individual binding arbitration. “Dispute” means any
dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Vermilion that relates
to the Platform and this Agreement.
If a Dispute must be arbitrated, you or Vermilion must start
arbitration of the Dispute within one (1) year from when the Dispute
first arose. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a
Dispute sooner than one (1) year after the Dispute first arose, you
must start arbitration in that earlier time period. Vermilion
encourages you to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we
can work to resolve it. The failure to provide timely notice will bar
all claims.
In any Dispute, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if
any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the
prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or
defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and
legal fees awards will be offset.
Any breach by you of this Agreement could cause Vermilion irreparable
harm for which it has no adequate remedies at law. Accordingly,
Vermilion is entitled to seek specific performance or injunctive
relief for any such breach. Nothing in this section will preclude
Vermilion from seeking specific performance or injunctive relief from
a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
20. Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Vermilion of any term or condition set forth in this
Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term
or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any
failure of Vermilion to assert a right or provision under this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or
provision.
If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other
tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or
limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of
the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
21. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, including without limitation, our Privacy Policy, and
other terms and conditions applicable at the time you access the
Platform constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and
Vermilion with respect to the Platform and supersede all prior and
contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and
warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Platform.
