The following General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “GTC”) regulate the use of the game’s contents and the associated additional services, which are available on the website https://www.rugby-manager.com of the browser game Rugby Manager by Sweet Nitro SL. Conflicting terms and conditions of the user are explicitly declined. You can only be granted access to Rugby Manager if you agree to these GTC. You may view these GTC at any time at the website https://www.rugby-manager.com under the heading GTC / Terms of Use and print and/or save them for you records.

3. With your agreement to these GTC, you acknowledge the respectively current version of these GTC.
4. These GTC completely replace older versions of the GTC for Rugby Manager.
5. The game’s contents and other services of Sweet Nitro are continually developed, updated and adapted. For this reason, the user is only able to participate in the most recent version of Rugby Manager.
6. The connection of the user to the internet itself as well as the system requirements necessary in that regard, particularly the browser software used, are not services of Sweet Nitro and therefore are not a part of these terms of use. The user is personally responsible for ensuring that the hardware and software he or she uses is compatible, up-to-date and secure.
7. Using the basic version of Rugby Manager is free-of-charge. Certain features, however, are only available to paying users (see § 5 of these GTC in this regard).
8. Sweet Nitro shall provide communication possibilities to the user for personal content and contributions. This particularly includes official forums on the internet sites operated by Sweet Nitro, which the user may use within the scope of the actual availability. In doing so, Sweet Nitro shall provide the technical possibilities for the exchange of information alone in this regard. However, there is no entitlement to the availability of such communication possibilities. The provider is not capable of exercising direct control over all submitted entries. The provider cannot permanently monitor the contributions of visitors and members online. Therefore, he shall not be held responsible for the content, accuracy or the form of individually submitted contributions. Every user as an author is responsible for his own contribution. The publication of illegal, offensive and/or criminal contributions is expressly forbidden. Every user shall be obligated to comply with existing legal provisions revealed, for example in criminal law, in laws regarding the protection of minors, trademark laws, copyright laws and the laws governing unfair competition, at all times. Including commercial advertisements in the contributions, regardless in what form, for example as text, a link or pop-up banners, is also forbidden. Sweet Nitro reserves the right to delete entries and to revoke the write-authorization of individual users for a specific period of time or entirely. We explicitly point out that Sweet Nitro shall not accept responsibility for any type of damages resulting in connection with the use of the forums! In addition, the game rules apply according to § 7 and the protection of copyrights and the rights of third parties according to § 9 of these conditions of use.

§2 Finalization and Content of the Agreement

1. For the establishment of the agreement, the user must complete the registration form. The user may register to participate in Rugby Manager for free by entering a valid e-mail address and a password in the registration form. The e-mail address must belong to the user personally and he must be capable of being reached regularly at that address for the duration of the use of the game due to the fact that Sweet Nitro generally communicates via e-mail. Accordingly, the use of one-way addresses (so-called “trash mail”) is explicitly forbidden. Registration is only permitted for natural persons.
2. Upon registering, the user can select an acceptable game name (nickname). The game name may not violate the rights of third parties or the accepted principles of morality. There is no entitlement to the issuance of a special username. Inacceptable usernames, in particular, are e-mail and internet addresses and words that do not correlate to the technical requirements.
3. The presentation of our game portal does not represent a binding offer. Only with the completion of the registration form does the user provide a binding offer according to § 145 of German Civil Code (BGB) for the finalization of an agreement. For this process, all data fields identified as mandatory fields of the registration form must be completed and, in conclusion, verified by clicking the OK button according to § 2 section 1 of these GTC. Following receipt of your offer, you shall receive an e-mail sent automatically to the e-mail address you provided in the registration form with which we shall verify the acceptance of your offer. An agreement with Sweet Nitro shall first ensue with the receipt of the declaration of acceptance of this verification e-mail.
4. The user is not entitled to the registration, release or participation in the game. Sweet Nitro is authorized to decline a verification and acceptance of the registration without providing reasons.

§3 Duties of the User

1. Through registering, the user ensures that he is of age. To the extent that the user is a minor, he ensures that an effective approval of the legal representative exists with the submission of the registration application.
2. A registration may only occur personally and not automatically nor through third parties.
3. The user shall be obligated to participate with only one account per game world from Rugby Manager. This means a previously registered user is only able to open a new account in the same game world if the previous account was deleted. Creating and managing multiple accounts in the same game world (multi-accounts) is forbidden. Such multi-accounts can be blocked and deleted by Sweet Nitro at their discretion and at any time without warning.
4. The user shall be obligated upon registering to use his account exclusively for private purposes in the context of participation in the game. Commercial use of any kind, including for the distribution of advertisement and other commercial offers, is explicitly forbidden.
5. The account is person-related and absolutely not transferrable. Therefore, the user shall be obligated to refrain from transferring his account to third parties either for payment or through gifts.
6. The user shall be obligated to keep his log-in data and particularly his passwords absolutely safe and to protect them from unauthorized access by third parties. The terms “log-in data” or “passwords” shall mean all letters and/or characters and/or digit sequences used to authenticate the user, the use of which by unauthorized third parties should be excluded. The password may not be identical to the game name and must contain a combination of numbers and letters.
7. The user is prohibited from using the log-in data of another user.
8. The user shall be obligated to immediately contact operator if there is suspicion that third parties have retrieved or may have retrieved the log-in data in an unauthorized manner. If there is suspicion of misuse or the threat of misuse, Sweet Nitro is permitted to temporarily block the accounts involved until the suspicion is cleared.
9. The use of the offers from Sweet Nitro while using anonymizing services, which suppress or falsify the true IP address of the user, is not permitted.
10. Manipulative interferences in the game are prohibited. This particularly includes the use of software and mechanisms that disrupt the progress of the game or create an unfair advantage for the user over the other players. Among others, the creation and/or use of hacks, cheats, bots, data mining tools and automated browser plug-ins are prohibited.
11. The user shall be obligated to comply with the game rules according to § 7 of these GTC.

§4 Duties of Sweet Nitro

1. Sweet Nitro enables every accepted participant to participate in Rugby Manager free-of-charge.
2. Sweet Nitro ensures the ability to reach the game contents of at least 90% in the annual mean. This regards the accessibility of the game contents of Rugby Manager from the server of Sweet Nitro. Sweet Nitro shall provide no guarantee for potential connection errors on the part of internet providers. Interruptions and disturbances, which are necessary due to required maintenance work, are also excluded from this guarantee.
3. Sweet Nitro shall be obligated to counter the risk of data loss through appropriate data protection measures (back-ups). Unfortunately, in the case of a loss of data, it is impossible to reproduce completed game activities, which occurred after the time period of the back-up. Sweet Nitro is committed to accommodating affected users in relevant cases by using game-related measures to provide rectification. There shall be no entitlement to accommodating services or to statuses that lie beyond the time of the conducted back-up.

§5 Features, Payments

1. The creation of the account and the use of the basic version of Rugby Manager are free.
2. The operator offers the user the possibility of obtaining features, i.e. individual additional services as opposed to the basic version (hereinafter “Features”) with the payment of a fee. The fee for the respective features as well as the exact description and functionality of the respective features are shown in detail on the website of Rugby Manager.
3. The user shall not be obligated to purchase features.
4. Sweet Nitro is authorized to demand fees in advance for the use of the features. The fees for the purchase of features shall be payable upon finalizing the agreement, i.e. with the verification of the user regarding the purchase of features.
5. For your safety, we have joined with recognized and trustworthy payment systems. The payments shall be conducted through the selection of a certain payment system (e.g. PayPal, credit card, Premium-SMS) with the respective service provider. The user shall not be entitled to the fact that Sweet Nitro offers or maintains certain payment systems. The fees shall be drafted according to the selection of the user.
6. Sweet Nitro reserves the right to change the type, scope and content of the features as well as to discontinue offering them and/or to offer them in the free basic version.
7. In the case of a delayed payment, Sweet Nitro is authorized to discontinue the features and to block the respective account of the user. The duty of the user to pay the agreed upon fee shall remain unaffected from this.

Consequences of Cancellation

• Religious, political or socially political statements of opinion;
• Offensive, libelous, defamatory, threatening or otherwise troublesome implications, commentary and/or images;
• Names for game characters or user accounts deemed to be inappropriate according to these GTC; in this case, Sweet Nitro is also authorized to delete such inappropriate names, or to change the name as a milder measure, in addition to the measures listed under § 8 section 2;

3. The user who submits content is personally responsible for ensuring that these do not violate laws, particularly the copyrights of third parties. In this respect, the user is personally and directly liable for all claims asserted by third parties. Should Sweet Nitro be held responsible for this type of content submitted by a user, the user shall release Sweet Nitro from any costs incurred as a result.
4. Knowingly disrupting the dialog of various users is prohibited; e.g. through repeatedly interrupting the conversation between other members, through harassing or through creating negative stereotypes or animosity. Messages sent by the users among each other during the game are not private, but rather they are public. The users, therefore, are requested to refrain from exchanging information, such as an e-mail address, address, last name, telephone number, images, instant messaging name, etc. For reasons of personal protection, Sweet Nitro strongly advises against providing such personal data. If there is suspicion that certain users are attempting to obtain the aforementioned personal information from other users, Sweet Nitro should be informed at Contact.
5. Sweet Nitro points out that monitoring all the content submitted by the users is impossible. However, random tests are performed and the users can also report the violations of others. Sweet Nitro shall then conduct a review as soon as possible and, if necessary, edit or delete the contents.

7. The user is not permitted to use errors in the programming (so-called bugs) for personal benefit. Identified bugs must be reported to Contact.

§8 Virtual Domiciliary Right

1. Rugby Manager falls under the virtual domiciliary right of Sweet Nitro. This shall mean the right of the operator of a website to monitor the behavior of the users of the website for compliance of the GTC and to take suitable measure in the case of noncompliance. Sweet Nitro reserves the right to use this virtual domiciliary right as needed without limitation.
2. If a user violates the obligations regarding behavior of the GTC, particularly the behavioral rules listed in § 7, Sweet Nitro shall be authorized to block or delete the respective contents and game characters and/or temporarily or, within the scope of proportionality, to permanently exclude the user from further use of Rugby Manager and/or delete his user account for the protection of the other users. In this case, the user is not eligible for reimbursement or other compensation of an already provided payment. To the extent reasonable, Sweet Nitro shall inform the user of the purpose of the clarification or remedy of the violation prior to introducing the aforementioned measures. Information is, e.g. not reasonable if damage could occur for Sweet Nitro or a third party as a result. Upon blocking a user, this user is not permitted to use Rugby Manager with another game character.

§9 Copyrights and Trademark Rights

1. All copyright, usage and other intellectual property rights related to Rugby Manager belong to Sweet Nitro or are protected for the benefit of third parties.

The user is allowed to place a link on the internet site operated by Sweet Nitro, insofar as this serves the cross-reference alone. Sweet Nitro reserves the right to cancel this permission. However, it is not permissible to link or present the internet sites operated by Sweet Nitro or their contents with a hyperlink in a frame.
2. The same applies for the rights associated with names and other brand or trademark rights. Any use outside of the game, particularly in commercial traffic, is prohibited without express, written approval. This applies in particular to any merchandising articles as well.
3. Sweet Nitro expressly points out the following: should the user offer his account or parts thereof for sale on the internet against payment, this presents a copyright infringement and potentially an infringement of the distinguishing brand, in addition to the violation of the significant obligations of these usage conditions, and will be pursued in manner subject to expenses.

§10 Period of the Contract and Termination

1. Upon registration, a usage agreement between Sweet Nitro and the user is finalized for an undefined period. The user can terminate the agreement at any time without notice and without providing reasons by deleting his account or per e-mail at Contact.

In minor cases, whereby the respective assessment lies under the sole obligatory discretion of Sweet Nitro, instead of an exclusion from the game, a game-internal sanction, e.g. in the form of a downgrade, can be declared against the user. The user shall have no claim to being sanctioned instead of being excluded from the game.
3. Sweet Nitro shall be authorized to delete the user account if legitimate reasons exist (e.g. inactivity for at least six months).
