AND SERVICES.
Welcome
Welcome! Unless otherwise stated, the application set forth above (the “Application”) and the services
provided by or on behalf of us in connection with the Application (collectively, the “Services”) are
provided by Square Enix Co., Ltd. (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) from Japan. These Terms of Service and
any Additional Terms (defined below) thereof (collectively, the “TOS”) govern your use of the Services,
regardless of how you access or use it and where you are located. By using the Services, you acknowledge and
accept our Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, storage, sharing, and use of your data in
accordance with the Privacy Policy. If you change your mind, you must immediately uninstall the Application
and/or discontinue the use of the Services. By installing the Application and/or using the Services, you
further agree that we may change, alter, or modify the settings or configurations on your Device (defined
below) in order to allow or optimize your use of the Services.
Overview
These TOS explain the terms and conditions under which you agree to use the Services. Here are some key points covered by these TOS:
• These TOS apply when you use the Services. Any updates to the TOS will also apply to you. If you do not agree, or want to end your agreement with us, you must uninstall the Application or discontinue use of the Services. • You may only use the Content (defined below) contained in the Services in connection with your permitted activities on the Services and not in an offline environment or in connection with another application or web site unless we explicitly permit it. • You have no ownership in the Services or any virtual currency or virtual items used in the Services. You have only a limited license to use them pursuant to these TOS. All or part of the virtual currency or virtual items may be deleted or the operation of the Services may be terminated in our sole discretion, with or without notice to you. • Except as set forth explicitly in our Privacy Policy, you and the Company do not have a confidential relationship due to your use of the Services or your communications to us through or related to the Services. You and the Company do not have a fiduciary or other special relationship. • Many types of disputes that may arise in connection with your access to and use of the Services are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court located in Tokyo, Japan. • The Company is providing the Services to you on an "as-is" basis, without any warranty of any kind, and our liability to you in connection with your use of the Services is very limited. There are many other limitations and disclaimers relating to your use of the Services.
If You Want to Use The Services
Carefully read the terms under these TOS, as they constitute a written
agreement between you and us which affects your legal rights and obligations. It is important that
you read and understand these complete TOS before using the Services. If you are a minor, you may
only use the Services upon your parent or guardian's consent to these TOS.
Each time you access and/or use the Services, you agree to be bound by and comply with all of the
terms of the TOS that are posted on the Services, or linked to from the Services, at that time.
Therefore, if you do not agree to all of the terms under these TOS, then you may not use the
Services. You must uninstall the Application and discontinue use of the Services in order to end
your agreement to these TOS.
The business realities associated with operating the Services are such that, without the limitations
set forth in these TOS we would not be able to make the Services available to you.
In some instances, separate guidelines, rules, or terms of service or sale setting forth additional
or different terms and/or conditions for the Services will also apply to your use of the Services
(in each such instance, and collectively, "Additional Terms"). To the extent there is a
conflict between the TOS and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the
Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.

A. Introduction to the Virtual Currency. Virtual Currency may be redeemed by you for certain
licensed digital items and online services in the Services.
B. Virtual Currency Are Merely Licensed Virtual Goods and Have No Monetary Value. Virtual Currency
(and virtual items and services they may be redeemed for) are virtual goods licensed to users and
owned at all times by the Company. The license may be revoked by the Company at any time in our
discretion. Virtual Currency (and virtual items and services they may be redeemed for) have no
monetary value, and you do not have any personal property rights in the Virtual Currency (or virtual
items and services they may be redeemed for). Therefore, Virtual Currency (and virtual items and
services they may be redeemed for) may not be traded for cash, currency or any form of property,
license or rights except for the products and services that the Company chooses to offer you in its
sole discretion. You may not transfer Virtual Currency (or virtual items and services they may be
redeemed for) to any other person or entity or receive Virtual Currency (or virtual items and
services they may be redeemed for) from any other person or entity for any reason unless explicitly
authorized by the Company. Virtual Currency (and virtual items and services they may be redeemed
for) may be deleted by the Company for any reason or no reason, with or without notice.
C. Pricing and Purchasing. You may add Virtual Currency to your account by using the payment methods
specified by the Company. You must be authorized to use the payment method chosen and, in the case
of minors using a credit or debit card of a parent or guardian, your parent or guardian must
expressly agree to allow the use of such payment method. The current prices for Virtual Currency
will be available for viewing in the Services. The Company reserves the right to adjust the price
for Virtual Currency at any time, in its sole discretion, without notice or reimbursement. You are
responsible for the payment of any taxes or other charges relating to the purchase or redemption of
Virtual Currency. You may not falsely notify your payment processor that you did not authorize any
one-time or automatically recurring charge that you consented to previously. We reserve the right to
ban those who commit "friendly fraud" from the Services.
D. Limits. In order to protect your security and to deter fraud, the Company may impose limits on
the amount of Virtual Currency that you may license per transaction, per day and/or per month. The
Company may also limit the maximum amount of Virtual Currency that you may hold in your account at
any one time.
E. Usage of Virtual Currency. You may redeem Virtual Currency for certain digital items and/or
online services offered within the Services. Such digital items are also revocable licenses for
which you have no property interest, and which may be discontinued or deleted at any time. The
Company reserves the right to adjust the amount of Virtual Currency due for each digital item and
online service at any time, in its sole discretion, without notice or reimbursement. Once redeemed,
Virtual Currency will be deducted from your account balance and cannot be used again. You have no
right to reverse a transaction once it is completed. However, if the Company determines that an
incorrect price (in Virtual Currency) is identified for a digital item or online service, it
reserves the right to reverse, adjust and/or nullify any such transaction.
F. NO CASH REFUNDS. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW OR AN APPROPRIATE PLATFORM OWNER, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
RECEIVE A CASH REFUND FOR UNUSED VIRTUAL CURRENCY.

but the Company reserves the right to alter or terminate operation of the Services, any Virtual
Currency, and to revoke the licenses to them, at any time without notice. In other words, you may
redeem Virtual Currency for as long as the Company chooses to offer items and services redeemable
with Virtual Currency, which the Company has no obligation to do. Accordingly, we encourage you to
redeem Virtual Currency sooner rather than later.
H. Improper Acquisition/Usage of Virtual Currency. You agree that the Company has the absolute right
to manage and regulate the Virtual Currency and all licenses for digital items and services related
thereto in its sole discretion. If the Company suspects any fraudulent, abusive or unlawful activity
with respect to your Virtual Currency balance, or your acquisition of licensed digital items or
Services associated therewith, then the Company may reduce or liquidate your Virtual Currency
balance and/or any or all licenses for digital items and Services related thereto, or deactivate,
suspend or terminate access thereto.
I. Termination of Account. If you (a) are banned for any reason, including violation of these TOS,
or (b) voluntarily terminate your account, then the Company reserves the right to delete the account
and all Virtual Currency and all licenses for items and services related thereto
permanently.
J. Changes to the Virtual Currency. We reserve the right to change the way that the Virtual Currency
and all licenses for items and services related thereto operates, or to terminate the Virtual
Credits System and all licenses for items and services related thereto altogether, at any time, in
its sole discretion, without notice. Any such changes shall take effect immediately upon posting of
the change.
K. VIRTUAL CURRENCY WAIVER. BY ACCEPTING THESE TOS OR BY USING THE VIRTUAL CURRENCY, YOU AGREE NOT
TO ASSERT OR BRING ANY CLAIM OR SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY, ITS PARENTS OR AFFILIATES, ITS BACK-END
SERVICE PROVIDERS, THE PLATFORM LICENSORS, OR THEIR EMPLOYEES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO VIRTUAL

8. Disputes.
A. Governing Law and Venue. The Services are made accessible, operated
and controlled by the Company. The laws of Japan, without regard to conflicts of law provisions,
will apply to all matters arising out of or in connection with the Services and your access and use
thereof. By accessing and using the Services, you submit and consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Tokyo District Court located in Tokyo, Japan as the court of first instance with respect to
any dispute or cause of action (whether contractual or non-contractual) arising out of or in
connection with these TOS and/or your access and use of the Services.
B. Dispute Among the Users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the
Services. If you have a dispute with one or more users of the Services, in addition to any other
remedies available to the Company, the Company (and its licensors, affiliates, employees, officers,
directors, contractors, agents, third party suppliers, licensors and third party partners) shall not
be liable for claims, demands and damages (direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known or
unknown, arising out of or in connection with such disputes. If you are a resident of the State of
California, the United States, you waive the rights afforded to you under California Civil Code
§1542.
C. Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU WANT TO
ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE COMPANY, THEN YOU MUST COMMENCE IT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE
DISPUTE ARISES, OR ELSE IT SHALL BE FOREVER BARRED.
D. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8 will not apply to any legal action
taken by the Company to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss,
cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Services, any Content, your
User-Generated Content and/or the Company’s intellectual property rights, the Company’s operations,
and/or the Company’s products or services (collectively, "Excluded Dispute").
9. DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS", "AS AVAILABLE", AND "WITH ALL
FAULTS" BASIS. Therefore, to the fullest extent permissible by law, the Company and its
parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and each of their respective employees, directors, members,
managers, shareholders, agents, vendors, licensors, licensees, contractors, customers, successors,
and assigns (collectively, "Company Parties") hereby disclaim and make no representations,
warranties, endorsements, or promises, express or implied, as to:
i. the Services (including the Content and the User-Generated Content);
ii. the functions, features, or any other elements on, or made accessible through, the
Services;
iii. any products, services, or instructions offered or referenced at or linked through the
Services;
iv. security associated with the transmission of your User-Generated Content transmitted to the
Company or via the Services;
v. whether the Services or the servers that make the Services available are free from any harmful
components (including viruses, Trojan horses, and other technologies that could adversely impact
your Device);
vi. whether the information (including any instructions) on the Services is accurate, complete,
correct, adequate, useful, timely, or reliable;
vii. whether any defects to the Services will be repaired; and

EXCEPT FOR ANY SPECIFIC WARRANTIES PROVIDED HEREIN OR IN ADDITIONAL TERMS PROVIDED BY A COMPANY
PARTY, THE COMPANY PARTIES HEREBY FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR
MISAPPROPRIATION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES, TITLE, CUSTOM, TRADE, QUIET
ENJOYMENT, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS.
Some jurisdictions limit or do not allow the disclaimer of implied or other warranties so the above
disclaimers may not apply to the extent such jurisdictions' laws are applicable.
10. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF COMPANY PARTIES.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ANY COMPANY PARTIES BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE
FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, including personal injury or death or for any direct, indirect,
economic, exemplary, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential losses or damages that are
directly or indirectly related to:
i. the Services (including the Content and the User-Generated Content);
ii. your use of or inability to use the Services, or the performance of the Services;
iii. any action taken in connection with an investigation by the Company Parties or law enforcement
authorities regarding your access to or use of the Services;
iv. any action taken in connection with copyright or other intellectual property owners or other
rights owners;
v. any errors or omissions in the Services' technical operation; or
vi. any damage to any user's computer, hardware, software, modem, or other equipment or
technology, including damage from any security breach or from any virus, bugs, tampering, fraud,
error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer line, or network
failure or any other technical or other malfunction, including losses or damages in the form of lost
profits, loss of goodwill, loss of data, work stoppage, accuracy of results, or equipment failure or
malfunction.
The foregoing limitations of liability will apply even if any of the foregoing events or
circumstances were foreseeable and even if the Company Parties were advised of or should have known
of the possibility of such losses or damages, regardless of whether you bring an action based in
contract, negligence, strict liability, or tort (including whether caused, in whole or in part, by
negligence, acts of god, telecommunications failure, or destruction of the Services).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages
of the sort that are described above, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to
you.
EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED IN ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY PARTIES' TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU, FOR ALL POSSIBLE DAMAGES,
LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND YOUR
RIGHTS UNDER THESE TOS, EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO THE COMPANY IN
CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION(S) THAT UNDERLIE THE CLAIM(S); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THIS PROVISION
WILL NOT APPLY IF A TRIBUNAL WITH APPLICABLE JURISDICTION FINDS SUCH TO BE UNCONSCIONABLE.
11. Waiver of Injunctive or Equitable Relief.
IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEB SERVICES, CONTENT, USER-GENERATED CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY THE COMPANY (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED USER-GENERATED CONTENT) OR A LICENSOR OF THE COMPANY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL YOU BE ENTITLED TO OBTAIN ANY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR OTHERWISE ENJOIN, RESTRAIN, OR OTHERWISE INTERFERE WITH THE DISTRIBUTION, OPERATION, DEVELOPMENT, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES.
12. General Provisions.
A. Updates to TOS. The Company reserves the right to modify these TOS, at
any time without prior notice ("Updated Terms"). You agree that we may notify you of the
Updated Terms by posting them on the Services, and that your use of the Services after we post the
Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your
agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these TOS each time you use the
Services. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time that the Company posts them on the
Services, or such later date as may be specified in them.
B. Consent or Approval of the Company. As to any provision in these TOS that grants the Company the
right of consent or approval, or permits the Company to exercise the right in its "sole
discretion”, the Company may exercise that right in its sole and absolute discretion. No consent or
approval of the Company may be deemed to have been granted by the Company without being in writing
and signed by an authorized employee of the Company.

from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments,
fines, penalties, settlements, interest, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) that directly
or indirectly arise from or are related to any claim, suit, action, demand, or proceeding made or
brought against any Company Party, or on account of the investigation, defense, or settlement
thereof, arising out of or in connection with, whether occurring heretofore or hereafter: (i) your
User-Generated Content; (ii) your use of the Services and your activities in connection with the
Services; (iii) your breach or anticipatory breach of these TOS; (iv) your violation or anticipatory

Device, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates, or misappropriates any copyright,
trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy, or other right of any person or
entity; (vi) any misrepresentation made by you; and (vii) the Company Parties' use of the
information that you submit to us (including your User-Generated Content) (all of the foregoing,
"Claims and Losses"). You will cooperate as fully required by the Company Parties in the
defense of any Claim and Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Parties retain the
exclusive right to settle, compromise, and pay any and all Claims and Losses. The Company Parties
reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any Claims and Losses. You will not
settle any Claims and Losses without, in each instance, the prior written consent of an officer of
the Company.
D. Void Where Prohibited. The information provided through the Services are not intended for
distribution to or use by any person in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use
would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject the Company to any registration
requirement within such jurisdiction or country. The Company makes no representation or warranty
that any material on the Services is lawful in every jurisdiction from which such Services can be
accessed, or is available for use in all jurisdictions. If you access or use the Services from a
jurisdiction outside Japan, you are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A MINOR WHERE YOU RESIDE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE YOUR
LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE’S PERMISSION TO ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES. IF YOU ARE A MINOR BUT DID NOT
HAVE YOUR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE’S PERMISSION TO THE ACCESS AND USE THE SERVICES, THE COMPANY MAY
IMMEDIATELY (WITHOUT NOTICE) TERMINATE THE LICENSE GRANTED HEREUNDER.
THE SERVICES ARE INTENDED FOR USE BY PERSONS 13 AND ABOVE. BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU
REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE 13 OR OLDER, AND THAT YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY ALL OF THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF THESE TOS.
E. Severability. If any provision of these TOS is for any reason deemed invalid, unlawful, void, or
unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, then that provision will be deemed
severable from these TOS, and the invalidity of the provision will not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remainder of these TOS (which will remain in full force and effect). To the
extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to waive, and you hereby waive, any applicable
statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter. Wherever
the word "including" is used in these TOS, the word will be deemed to mean
"including, without limitation."
F. Export Control. The Application may be subject to international rules that govern the export of
software. You shall comply with all applicable international and national laws that apply to the
Application as well as any applicable end-user, end-use and destination restrictions issued by

not prohibited from receiving exports or services under applicable export laws.
G. Communications. When you communicate with us electronically, such as via e-mail or text message,
you consent to receive communications from us electronically. Please note that we are not obligated
to respond to inquiries that we receive. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and
other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such

Policy in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with criminal laws, (iv)

part, or, except as may be expressly set forth in these TOS, suspend or terminate your access to it,
in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for
any reason and without any obligation to you or any third party. Any suspension or termination will
not affect your obligations to the Company under these TOS. Upon suspension or termination of your
access to the Services, or upon notice from the Company, all rights granted to you under these TOS
will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Services. The
provisions of these TOS, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will
survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to the Company in these TOS, as well as the
indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding
jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.
I. Assignment. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under these TOS, in whole or in
part, to any party at any time without any notice. These TOS may not be assigned by you, and you may
not delegate your duties under them, without the prior written consent of an officer of the
Company.
J. No Waiver. Except as expressly set forth in these TOS, (i) no failure or delay by you or the
Company in exercising any of rights, powers, or remedies under will operate as a waiver of that or
any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these TOS will
be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is
sought to be enforced.
K. Force Majeure. If, by reason of Force Majeure Event (defined below), the Company is delayed or
unable, in whole or in part, to perform or comply with any of its obligations under these TOS, then
it shall be relieved of liability and shall suffer no prejudice for failing to perform to the extent
that the inability was caused by Force Majeure Event. In the event of a Force Majeure Event, the
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the situation and remove the cause of
its inability to perform. Force Majeure Event means any acts of God, flood, fire or explosion, war,
invasion, riot or other civil unrest; embargoes or blockades, national or regional emergency;
strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, shortage of adequate power
or telecommunications or transportation facilities.
L. Entire Agreement. These TOS and any other terms of use relevant to your use of the Services,
constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to your use of
the Services and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, and
are intended as a final expression of our agreement.

the English version shall prevail.
