We hereby grant you a royalty-free, limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, and non-exclusive license to reproduce our freely available Works solely for your personal use in connection with browsing the Website or playing a game. You may not otherwise reproduce, distribute, communicate to the public, make available, adapt, publicly perform, or publicly display the freely available Works or any adaptations thereof unless expressly set forth herein.

To enjoy certain features and Content provided by CURIOUS SENSE, payment is required as described below.
When you download or otherwise copy Content, including software applications, provided by CURIOUS SENSE, you are not buying or being gifted copies of the Content. Instead, you are licensing a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable, and non-exclusive right to possess the copies and use the Content for personal, non-commercial use, subject to specific terms and conditions (the "Content License"). Under this Content License you may not thereafter reproduce, distribute, communicate to the public, make available, adapt, publicly perform, or publicly display the licensed Content or any adaptations thereof unless expressly set forth herein. Such conduct would exceed the scope of your Content License and constitute copyright infringement. At the expiration of your Content License or the termination of these Terms, you will delete or otherwise dispose of all copies of licensed Content in your possession.
The above described licenses are conditioned on your compliance with these Terms, and shall terminate upon termination of these Terms. If you breach any provision of these Terms, any license you have obtained will be automatically rescinded and terminated. In order to protect CURIOUS SENSE’s rights, some Content, including games and mobile applications, made available on the Website may contain watermarks and/or be controlled by other digital rights management technologies, which will restrict how you may use the Content. You must not remove, delete, or alter any watermark or other digital rights management technology or other information, including any identification number, transactional terms, copyright owner, licensee, licensor, author, or date of creation or publication. Such conduct is prohibited by law.
The Website includes a virtual currency component. CURIOUS SENSE may or may not charge fees to acquire or use such currency and these fees may change at any time. When you acquire virtual currency through the Website, CURIOUS SENSE grants you a limited license to use the currency to be held, bartered, traded and/or transferred through the Website with other users, in exchange for permission to access and use Content, applications, services, and other features of the Website in accordance with these Terms. CURIOUS SENSE may revoke such license at any time without notice, refund or compensation to you.

CURIOUS SENSE does not recognize any purported transfers of virtual currency executed outside of the Website, or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything that appears or originates through the Website. Therefore, you may not sell such virtual currency for "real" money, or exchange the currency for value outside of the Website.
Payments and RefundsPermission to enjoy certain features and Content of the Website pursuant to the licenses described above is conditional and contingent upon payment of specified fees through payment methods described on the Website.

Permission to enjoy such features or Content shall not commence until full payment has been received. Once payment is received, you may enjoy the features or Content for your personal, non-commercial use as described above.
Moreover, by their nature, all digital copies are non-returnable and thus all payments for licenses are non-refundable. You will only be due a refund if the policy of our third-party payment processor so provides. However, if you obtain a software application or Content from CURIOUS SENSE that is corrupted or malfunctions due to no fault of your own, and you can demonstrate (a) such corruption or malfunction, (b) that the corruption or malfunction was not due to a faulty Internet connection, and (c) that you own all the updated and correct versions of software and hardware required, we may, at our sole discretion, replace your access free of charge but subject to the same licenses described herein. If you experience persistent problems and are unable to enjoy features or Content you licensed, we may, at our sole discretion, provide a partial or complete refund to you.
TaxesAll fees payable under these Terms are exclusive of VAT, duties or sales tax where appropriate, which is made payable at the standard rate applicable at the time. You are responsible for the payment of all sales and usage taxes when applicable and CURIOUS SENSE or our third-party payment processor shall be entitled to charge such taxes to you in addition to the payment for any License.
