- All transactions on Turbulenz are processed securely through one of our third-party payments processors: Amazon Payments, PayPal or Google Wallet.
Charges
- All charges and payment transactions are processed in U.S. dollars.
- The full price for any Products as ordered by you from us will be as specified on the Acceptance page of any purchase. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect Products in respect of which we have already sent you a Dispatch Confirmation (acceptance email of purchases made on Turbulenz).
- The total price of any Product is inclusive of any applicable Sales Tax or VAT in effect on the day the Dispatch Confirmation is sent.
- In the event of any difference between any advertised or promoted price and that on the Acceptance page, the Acceptance page price shall prevail, except in cases of obvious error. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the pricing of any Product is correct at the time of publication. However it is always possible that some of the Products listed on our Site(s) may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If the Product's correct price is greater than the price stated on our Site(s), we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
- We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at an incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Dispatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
- Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product for which you will receive an e-mail acknowledging that we have received it. All orders are subject to acceptance by us. Our acceptance will be confirmed to you by e-mail (the Dispatch Confirmation). We are only obliged to licence and release the Product to you once we have sent you the Dispatch Confirmation.
- We are only obliged to supply those Products specified in the Dispatch Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the dispatch of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Dispatch Confirmation.
- You will not have any right to cancel an order for the supply of any Product(s) where you have used said Product(s) as part of your use of our Services, Products or Site(s), including the Products which may be purchased within a given Application, Game or Service.
- Details of how to cancel any given Order (if at all) are provided below. These provisions do not affect your statutory rights.
Availability and Delivery
- Your order will be fulfilled by the delivery date set out in the Dispatch Confirmation or, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time of the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Waiver
- If we fail, at any time during the term of these Terms of Use, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under them, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

Our right to vary or terminate these Terms of Use

This may include disabling access to services and online game features provided by us or third parties, removing content, implementing upgrades or devices intended to discontinue unauthorised use, or such other steps as are reasonably necessary to protect ourselves, our partners and our users, and to prevent the unauthorised use of content or unauthorised exploitation of Turbulenz. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we will not refund the cost of any purchased content or services on termination or suspension of your account.
