These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement governing your use of games and applications offered by MAD Studios, s.r.o.

• You may not use the Service for another purpose or copy or distribute its content except as expressly allowed in these Terms.

• MAD may discontinue the Service or change its content at any time, with or without notice and without liability.

3. Ownership of intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated in writing, materials that form part of the Service are owned, controlled or licensed by MAD and are protected against unauthorised use.

The Service may include virtual currency such as coins, cash or points, and virtual digital goods. Where offered, adults may be able to purchase these items with real-world money.

• Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods cannot be redeemed for real-world money, goods or other items of monetary value from MAD or another party.
