Terms of Use
1. GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 Market Races, a company registered as Mangytek Limited in Cyprus (referred to as "MR"), develops and distributes mobile (social) applications (referred to as "Games") that are available for download from various app stores and provides services related to these Games (referred to as "Services").
1.2 The Games are intended solely for consumers, as defined by Section 13 of the Cyprus Civil Code, meaning individuals who engage in legal transactions for purposes that are not primarily related to their business or self-employed professional activities.
1.3 All Games developed by MR are provided based exclusively on these Terms and Conditions. Any conflicting terms and conditions from users are expressly excluded, even if MR does not explicitly reject them.
1.4 These Terms and Conditions are made available during the download process of each Game, within the Game, on the company's website (https://marketraces.com), and on specific Game-related sites.
1.5 If you are under the legal age in your country, you should review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian.
1.6 If you are a parent or guardian, it is recommended that you monitor your child's gaming activities, particularly when online, and familiarize yourself with parental controls that may be available through us or our partners.
2. CONCLUSION OF CONTRACT, TERM, AND TERMINATION
2.1 Access to certain Services may be restricted based on age. Minors may be allowed to register for some Services only with parental or guardian consent.
2.2 MR is not responsible for any activities carried out by minors without the permission of their parents or legal guardians to the extent permitted by law. In all cases, parents or guardians bear responsibility for their child's use of the Services. By granting permission, you agree to these Terms on behalf of your child.
2.3 A contract for the use of the Game is formed when the user downloads it from the respective app store. The terms of use for the relevant app store detail this process. By downloading the Game, a contract between the user and MR is established for the free use of the Game. The associated license and usage agreement, governed by these Terms, is open-ended and may be terminated by either party with four weeks' notice.
2.4 In addition to free content, MR offers optional paid content, such as virtual items and power-ups ("premium content"). The use of premium content is voluntary, and non-use does not limit access to other features of the Game. Pricing for premium content will be displayed within the Game. The terms for purchasing and using premium content are detailed in Section 4 and supplemented by the terms of the relevant app store. If premium content has a defined duration (e.g., a one-month activation), it cannot be terminated during that period. However, contracts for premium content without a fixed term (e.g., one-time purchases) may be terminated at any time.
2.5 MR regularly updates, changes, and enhances the Games and Services at its discretion. Users can only engage with the current version of the Game or Service.
2.6 No refunds will be issued for user-initiated termination or termination by MR for cause. MR reserves the right to continue charging for any unpaid premium content.
2.7 Users are prohibited from transferring their account or this agreement to third parties. If this provision is violated (e.g., account transfer), MR may terminate the agreement, including any premium content, without notice. In such cases, prorated refunds will not be issued.
2.8 The statutory right to extraordinary termination without notice for just cause remains unaffected.
3. ACCOUNT AND USER DATA
3.1 Upon contract formation and Game use, MR may store game progress and any purchased premium content. For more information, please refer to MR's privacy policy.
3.2 Users must create secure login credentials and are responsible for keeping this information confidential. MR is not liable for any damages resulting from a failure to do so. In cases of suspected misuse, MR may temporarily block access to the Game.
3.3 Usernames must comply with applicable laws and these Terms. MR reserves the right to change usernames that violate these rules without needing to explain. Users have no claim to any particular username.
4. PREMIUM CONTENT
4.1 A contract for premium content is only established when the user selects the "Pay" or "Purchase" button in the Game shop. MR (or the app store provider) accepts the contract by sending an order confirmation or delivering the premium content. Payments must be made in advance.
4.2 Refunds for premium content are only possible within the limits of statutory consumer rights or applicable withdrawal rights.
4.3 The prices for premium content are displayed in the respective app store and are confirmed when the order is placed. Prices may vary by currency and country. Payments are processed through the app stores, and their terms apply.
4.4 In-game currencies (referred to as "Premium Points") represent units for the use of premium content within the Game and are not real money. Premium Points purchased with real money will be used first before those earned through gameplay. They may only be refunded if the Game is permanently discontinued.
4.5 Users are responsible for any fees resulting from cancellations or chargebacks caused by insufficient funds. MR may recover these costs in addition to the original payment. Users can contest the amount claimed.
4.6 If a user defaults on payment, MR may restrict access to the Game until the outstanding amount is paid, along with any statutory default interest.
4.7 MR reserves the right to introduce new premium content and modify or discontinue existing content. Discontinued permanent content may be available during a transition period or exchanged for similar content. Further claims are excluded.
4.8 All user claims related to premium content (e.g., copyright, defects, or compensation) should be directed to MR, not the app store.
5. SUBSCRIPTIONS
5.1 Some Game features may be available via subscription. Subscriptions may be charged at different rates for a specified period ("Subscription Period"). Users must ensure all information provided during subscription is accurate and, if under 18, must have parental consent.

5.6 Weekly subscriptions work similarly, with automatic renewal unless canceled 24 hours before the end of the weekly period.
5.7 Some subscriptions may offer a free trial. If not canceled 24 hours before the trial ends, it automatically converts to a paid subscription.
5.8 Each user can only claim one free trial. If the free trial has already been used, the subscription fee will be charged upon purchase.
