The value associated with The Company App is not insured or guaranteed by any person or entity.
5. YOUR ACCOUNT
Registration. While you may always browse any public-facing portions of the Service without registering with The Company, to enjoy the full benefits of the Service, you must download the App or access The Company website and register an account with The Company ("Account").
In some cases, you may use a third party account (e.g., Apple, Facebook, Google, as applicable) ("Third Party Account") to access additional features and functions of the Services. You agree that you are solely responsible (to us and to others) for your access and use of the Services and the activity that occurs under your account.
Eligibility. In order to register an account in the App, you must be at least 18 to use the Services. By creating an Account and/or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old (or the minimum age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater). You must be unattached and available. You may only use the Services if you are willing and capable of entering into a new romantic relationship and do not have an established monogamous romantic partner ("Unattached"). You may not have a criminal record.
Inactive Account. If your account is or remains inactive (which means you have not logged into or used your account) for more than one (1) year, The Company has the right to delete or deactivate your account and all Virtual Currency including but not limited to Points and Virtual Goods (as defined below) in your account shall be forfeited and no refunds will be made in respect of the same to the fullest extent authorized by law.
Guest Account. Users who access the Services without creating a The Company account or connecting to a Third Party Account ("Guest") may have limited access to certain features of the Services.
Please note that if you are using a Guest account:
(i) You will not be able to transfer/keep your progress or other information and data in The Company App or restore any in-app purchases you have made if you need to reinstall The Company App, e.g., if you lose, change or otherwise do not have access to your device;
(ii) All information and data in connection with your use of The Company App and Service will be removed and will not be retrievable or recoverable, if you delete The Company App from your device;
(iii) The Company cannot guarantee to recover your account or any data contained therein for you under the above circumstances.
Therefore, we highly recommend you to either create a The Company account or link your account to your Third Party Account in order to secure your The Company App data and progress.
Account Security. You are fully responsible for all activities that occur through your Account, so you should keep it secure. You agree to notify The Company Support if you suspect or know of any unauthorized use of your Account or any other breach of security with respect to your Account. The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your Account.
You agree to:
(a) keep your password confidential and use only your User ID and password when logging in,
(b) ensure that you log out from your account at the end of each session,
(c) immediately notify The Company of any unauthorized use of your User ID and/or password or any other breach of security or non-compliance with these Terms of Service or applicable laws, and
(d) ensure that your account information is accurate and up-to-date.
You are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your User ID and account even if such activities or uses were not committed by you. The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your User ID, password, or account or your failure to comply with this section.
You acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation related to your Third Party Account, and all matters relating to any Third Party Account of yours shall be resolved exclusively by you and the relevant third party.
Accuracy of Information. When creating an Account, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information as The Company requests. If there are any changes to the information you provide in connection with your Account, you must update the applicable information promptly, and as necessary to keep it current and accurate. You represent to The Company that the information provided upon the creation of your Account is accurate and that any email address you provide is an email address controlled by you.
Suspension of account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, without any notice to you, including if you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms, or if activities occur on your account which would or might cause damage to or impair the Services or infringe or violate any third party rights (including intellectual property rights), or violate any applicable laws or regulations. Termination of your account also entails the termination of the license to use the Service, or any part thereof.
Points. The Service may offer you the ability to do in-app purchase, receive, or earn a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use virtual points exclusively within the Service ("Points"). This license is subject to your acceptance of this Agreement and any other applicable policies or agreements with The Company. Points can only be used in connection with the Service as permitted by The Company and you may view your balance of Points at any time in your account profile. Once used/redeemed, Points will be deducted from your account balance and cannot be used again. You have no right to reverse a transaction once it is completed. In the event of any dispute, The Company shall have the final determination over the calculation of your Points account balance.
The Company may make certain features or functionality of the Service available that allow or require the redemption of Points, and may in its sole discretion modify or discontinue any applicable features or functionality or otherwise change the manner in which Points may be redeemed. You agree that The Company has the absolute right to reduce, manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate the Points as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and that The Company will have no liability to you based on its exercise of these rights.
Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in these Terms or any other terminology used, Points have no monetary or "real world" value and can only be used with the Service. Points may not be redeemed or exchanged for "real" currency or any legal tender. Points have an expiry. In other words, you may redeem Points within their validity and for as long as The Company chooses to make Points redeemable through the Services, which The Company has no obligation to continue to do.
Virtual Goods. The Service may also offer you the ability to redeem Points to obtain virtual goods, such as special themes, gifts that may be sent to other users (including without limitation downloadable content), achievements, progressions, or access to additional features, levels, characters, maps or other content ("Virtual Goods"). Virtual Goods are subject to a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license by The Company for you to use the Virtual Goods exclusively in connection with the Service. Virtual Goods are The Company’s Content and may not be reproduced, redistributed, or exported, and may only be used as permitted by The Company.
Such Virtual Goods can only be used for your own benefit within The Company App, are of no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash or in-kind, sold or otherwise transferred. All Virtual Items are licensed to you rather than sold to you. The amount of Points needed to obtain Virtual Goods will be displayed at the point of redemption. The Company may determine, in its sole discretion, what Virtual Goods may be available for redemption through the Service from time to time, and The Company may change the selection of Virtual Goods or discontinue a Virtual Good at any time without any liability to you based on its exercise of these rights.
Limitations. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an account registered to you in connection with Points or Virtual Goods. Unless authorized in the Service, The Company prohibits and does not recognize any other sale, gift, assignment, transfer or trade in the "real world" of any Points or Virtual Goods to any third party under any circumstances whatsoever (including, without limitation, by operation of law) unless The Company expressly pre-approves the applicable event in writing.
Points and Virtual Goods are solely for your personal, non-commercial and in-app use and may not be copied, exported, scraped or otherwise transferred to use on any other platform, service or for any other use. Failure to comply with this Article constitutes a material breach of The Company’s Terms and may result in the termination of your ability to access the Service.
The Company may revise the pricing for Points or Virtual Goods, or any other items offered through the Services, at any time. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law or by the express terms of a Service offer, all purchases for Points or Virtual Goods or other Services are final and non-refundable. Once you redeem any Points for a Virtual Goods or other entitlement, that Virtual Goods or other entitlement is final and not returnable, exchangeable, or refundable. You may cancel any Services at any time, but all pre-payments and all purchases of any Points, Virtual Goods or other Services are strictly non-refundable.
If you made such a purchase from an authorized third party or otherwise made payment via a third party payment service provider, you may also need to consult those third parties’ respective terms and conditions for additional information regarding their respective policies for refunds.
If your Account is terminated for any reason, including due to a violation of our Terms and/or Community Guidelines, then your license to any Points or Virtual Goods will automatically terminate and you will lose access to applicable Points and Virtual Goods permanently. The Company also reserves the right to terminate your Account if your Account has been inactive for one (1) year.
If The Company reasonably suspects that you are engaging in any fraudulent or unlawful behavior in connection with any Points or Virtual Goods, The Company reserves the right to restrict your access to and use of Points or Virtual Goods or the Service. If you violate this Section, then other than the termination rights already mentioned, The Company may, in its sole discretion also pursue any and all remedies that it deems advisable and hold you liable for any and all damages, expenses, or other losses that The Company incurs in connection with the violation.
In some cases, certain portions of The Company App may be accessed for free, but in other cases you may be required to pay a fee to access certain features of The Company App. We reserve the right to change the pricing of any paid Virtual Items from time to time as we may determine in our sole discretion. Any change will not affect Virtual Items you have already purchased at the time the change comes into effect.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE NO OWNERSHIP OR OTHER PROPERTY INTEREST IN THE POINTS OR VIRTUAL GOODS, THE COMPANY IS NOT REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MONEY OR OTHER COMPENSATION FOR UNUSED POINTS OR VIRTUAL GOODS WHEN AN ACCOUNT IS CLOSED, WHETHER THE APPLICABLE CLOSURE WAS VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

The Company reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Services (including The Company Content). You acknowledge and agree that The Company may terminate this license at any time for convenience subject to applicable law.

Loading Value On Your Account.

The minimum amount that can be loaded into your account in The Company App for the first time is RM20. The Company may change these maximum and minimum amounts at any time by notifying you at the point of sale or on The Company website and such change shall not constitute an amendment to this agreement.
We reserve the right to correct the balance of your account in The Company if we believe that a clerical, billing or accounting error has occurred. If you have questions regarding your transaction history or any correction, or if you dispute any transaction or correction that has been assessed against your account in The Company, please contact our Customer Care Team by phone on xx and we will conduct an investigation and communicate the results and correct any error that we verify as soon as we finish the investigation. If no error was found, we will communicate an explanation. We will have no liability for any billing error unless you provide us notice within sixty (60) days of the date you become aware of the error. You should monitor your transactions and account balances closely.
The Company does not charge any fees for the issuance, activation, use or reloading of your account in The Company App. Your The Company account will expire if not used or is inactive in five (5) years from the last transaction date (inclusive of activation and last reload date). Thereafter, your account in The Company App shall be deemed expired, is not valid for any use and will be automatically deactivated. Any remaining credit balance on your account in The Company App will be automatically forfeited upon deactivation under any circumstances and cannot be refunded to you.
Because your account in The Company is used like cash for purchases from The Company, you are fully and solely responsible for the security, management and for all transactions associated with your account in The Company, including unauthorized transactions.
User Misconduct. The Company reserves the right, but does not undertake the obligation, to:
(a) disallow, cancel, remove, or reassign certain usernames and permalinks in appropriate circumstances, as determined by The Company in its sole discretion,
(b) with or without prior notice, suspend or terminate your Account if activities occur on your Account which, in The Company’s sole discretion, would or might constitute a violation of these Terms, cause damage to or impair the Service, infringe or violate any third-party rights, damage The Company’s reputation, or violate any applicable laws or regulations,

OUR DECISION TO DELAY EXERCISING OR ENFORCING ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF SUCH RIGHT OR REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PARTY.
Feedback. While we are continually working to develop and evaluate our own product ideas and features, we pride ourselves on paying close attention to the interests, feedback, comments, and suggestions we receive from the user community. If you choose to contribute by sending us any ideas for products, services, features, modifications, enhancements, content, refinements, technologies, content offerings (such as audio, visual or other types of content), promotions, strategies, or product/feature names, or any related documentation, artwork, computer code, diagrams, or other materials (collectively "Feedback"), then regardless of what your accompanying communication may say, the following terms will apply, so that future misunderstandings can be avoided.
