IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND OUR PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY SUBLIGHT AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 13 years old; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity or organization, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Accounts and Registration

To access any Membership, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at support@sublightgames.com.

General Payment Terms

Purchase of any Product through the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. All fees are denominated in U.S. Dollars.

1. Price 

Sublight Games reserves the right to determine pricing for all Products and Memberships. We will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. You agree that Sublight Games may change the fees for any Product or Membership if we have given you advance notice of the changes before they apply. Sublight Games, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of our customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, are not to apply to your offer or these Terms.

2. Authorization

You authorize Sublight Games and its third party payment processors to charge all sums for the Products you purchase and Memberships you subscribe to, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, Sublight or its third party payment processors may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.

3. Memberships

Memberships may include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges. If you activate such a Membership, you authorize Sublight or its third party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or the applicable Membership, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Membership Billing Date” is the date when you purchase the applicable Membership. Your account will be charged automatically on the Membership Billing Date all applicable fees and taxes for the next Membership period. The Membership will continue unless and until you cancel your Membership or we terminate it. You must cancel your Membership before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Membership Fee to your account. Sublight or its third party payment processor will bill the periodic Membership Fee to the payment method you provide to us during registration (or to a different payment method if you change your payment information). You may cancel the Membership via your account page or by contacting us at: support@sublightgames.com.

4. Returns and Refunds

We will accept all returns for defective Products made within 30 days of the purchase date (“Returns”). We will issue you a full refund for all Returns and will pay for the return shipping of any Return if such shipping is required. We are unable to, and will not accept any returns of, nor issue any refunds for, any Products that are not defective.

5. Shipping and Delivery

All Products purchased through the Service will be shipped according to the terms provided at the time of purchase to the shipping address you provide to us. You will be responsible for any and all shipping costs unless otherwise noted, which will be specified for you at checkout.
