These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legal agreement between Nova Games Limited and its affiliated entities (“NG” or “we”) and you (“user” or “you”). By accessing or using any NG game or application (“Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms. By using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms. NG reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or amend these Terms at any time, and you agree to be bound by such changes. If you do not agree to these Terms, please refrain from using the Service.
Users are responsible for regularly reviewing the Terms. Your continued use of the Service following any modifications or updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Virtual Currencies/Goods
NG’s Service may offer you the option to purchase virtual, in-game currency (“Virtual Currency”) by paying real money. This Virtual Currency has no cash value outside the Service and cannot be redeemed for real-world money, goods, or any item of monetary value from NG or any third party.
Purchases of Virtual Currency are final and cannot be refunded, exchanged, or transferred, except at NG’s sole discretion. Any attempts to buy, sell, or exchange Virtual Currency outside the Service or through platforms not authorized by NG violate these Terms and may result in account termination or legal actions.
NG reserves the right to modify, manage, or remove the type, nature, or value of Virtual goods at its sole discretion. Prices and availability of virtual goods within the game are subject to change without prior notice.
