While using the game, take breaks of ten (10) to fifteen (15) minutes every hour. Epilepsy warning: Some individuals are liable to have epileptic fits including, in certain cases, loss of consciousness, particularly when exposed to strong luminous stimulations (rapid succession of images or repetition of simple geometrical figures, flashes or exposures). Such individuals are exposed to risks of fits when they play certain video games containing such luminous stimulations; consult your doctor before any use. Parents must also pay particularly close attention to their children when they play video games. If you or your child present one of the following symptoms: dizziness, vision problems, contraction of the eyes or muscles, disorientation, involuntary movement or convulsions or momentary loss of consciousness, you must immediately stop playing and consult a doctor.

Liability Limitation for users based in the European Union Koch Media is liable according to the statutory provisions for damage/loss sustained by a user and caused deliberately or through the gross negligence of Koch Media or its vicarious agents. It is likewise liable for personal injury and damage within the definition of the Product Liability Law. Otherwise Koch Media’s liability in relation to compensation claims – irrespective of the legal basis – is limited in accordance with the following provisions, unless otherwise provided for under a guarantee made by Koch Media: In relation to damage/loss caused by ordinary negligence, Koch Media shall only be liable insofar as the matter relates to a breach of material contractual duties. Material contractual duties are those contractual obligations the fulfilment of which is strictly necessary in order that the agreement can be duly executed, whereby the user should normally be able to rely on these duties being fulfilled. In the event that Koch Media is hereby liable for ordinary negligence, the liability Koch Media will be limited to that damage/loss which is foreseeable and typical for this type of agreement. The liability of Koch Media in relation to data and/or programs lost due to Koch Media’s ordinary negligence shall be limited to the typical recovery costs that would have been sustained by the user had he implemented regular data backup measures which are reasonable in view of all the circumstances. The provisions set out in the foregoing sub-paragraphs also correspondingly apply to the duty to compensate futile expenditure. The aforementioned disclaimers likewise apply in favor of Koch Media’s vicarious agents. Koch Media is not liable for any costs sustained by the user availing of services not explicitly offered by Koch Media itself. This applies particularly to costs incurred due to the data transfer to and from the user’s terminal device as well as for any costs sustained by the user in using payment systems. Any form of strict liability is excluded in respect of malfunctions in the Koch media services existing at the start of the service provision; i.e. Koch Media is only liable insofar as Koch Media or its vicarious agents is responsible for this. Indemnity You understand that you are personally responsible for your behavior while playing any game and/or while you are on the websites and agree to indemnify and hold Koch Media and its and their affiliates, business partners, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, cost, or expense of any kind (including attorneys’ fees) that the Indemnified Parties may incur in connection with any claim(s) or threatened claim(s) arising out of or related to your use of any game and/or the websites or your violation of these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of any third party. Access to Services Koch Media reserves the right to perform system upgrades, regular or planned or unplanned maintenance to the games and/or the websites due, for example, and not in limitation, to technology improvements or bugs, and you may or may not be notified of these changes before they occur. Koch Media also reserves the right to change, modify, discontinue, suspend or abandon the games and/or the websites at any time for any reason or for no reason with or without notice to you, and it will not be liable to you or any third party as a result of such termination, modification, discontinuance or abandonment.
