Links and Search Results
The Site contains links to sites operated by third parties throughout the World Wide Web and features whereby Users may link iRok2 game interaction to content on third party sites. Links to sites operated by third parties are provided solely as a convenience to iRok2 users. iRok2 has no control over these sites or the content within them. iRok2 does not guarantee, represent or warrant that the content contained in any third party sites is accurate, legal and/or inoffensive. iRok2 expressly does not license your use of any content contained in any third party site. iRok2 does not represent or warrant that the content contained in any third party site, or your use of it is legal under copyright or fair use laws and you or the third party site are solely responsible for your use of content contained in any third party site. iRok2 does not endorse the content of any third party site, nor does it make any representation or warranty about these sites, including that they will not contain viruses or otherwise impact your computer. iRok2 makes no representation or warrantee about the continuing validity of any link on the Site that connects the iRok2 game to content on third party sites.

USER INTERACTION
You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Service and any other parties with whom you interact through the Service and/or iRok2 games. iRok2 reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with these disputes.
If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
PURCHASES
In the Service you may purchase, with "real world" money, a license to use (a) "virtual currency", including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in iRok2 games; (b) "virtual in-game goods" (together with "virtual currency", "Virtual Items"); and (c) other goods or services ("Merchandise"). You may also obtain a license to use Virtual Items by redeeming third party virtual currency such as Facebook Credits.
ALL PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF THIRD PARTY VIRTUAL CURRENCY MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
You can order Virtual Items by visiting the purchase page in one of our games, providing your billing information, confirming the particulars of your purchase and re-affirming your agreement to these Terms. When you place an order to purchase Virtual Items from our Service, we may send you a confirmatory e-mail that will contain details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and maintain a copy of it for your records. iRok2 keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries. If you purchase Facebook Credits from Facebook, you are agreeing to Facebook’s Payment Terms and iRok2 is not a party to the transaction.
For Virtual Items, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase the relevant product(s) which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card, whichever comes first.
The provision of Virtual Items for use in iRok2 games is a service provided by iRok2 that commences immediately upon acceptance by iRok2 of your purchase. By ordering Virtual Items you agree and accept that iRok2 will provide them to you immediately following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the European Union and you purchase a product or service from iRok2, you have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven calendar days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (the "Cooling Off Period"). However, you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the services begins before the end of the Cooling Off Period. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase Virtual Items from us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our services begins immediately once your purchase is completed.
In the Service you may also be linked to third party sites where you may purchase “real world” goods and services from independent vendors. You agree that iRok2 is not a party to such purchase transactions and you accept that iRok2 has no responsibility to you regarding such purchases.
Fee Payments
You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an Account registered to you. iRok2 may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Service at any time.

iRok2's disclosure of information for third party advertising is addressed in iRok2's Privacy Policy.
iRok2 may provide links on the Service to third party websites or vendors who may invite you to participate in a promotional offer in return for receiving optional Services and/or upgrades (such as in-game currency). Any charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these third parties are your responsibility. iRok2 makes no representation or warranty regarding any content, goods and/or services provided by any third party even if linked from our Service, and will not be liable for any claim relating to any third party content, goods and/or services.
