TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL Foonie, ANY PARENT, SUBSIDIARY OR OTHERWISE RELATED COMPANY, OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, DATA OR BUSINESS) ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APPLICATION EVEN IF ANY OF THE ABOVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
6.3 No Support
Foonie does not provide any guaranteed support for the Service. However, Foonie may provide an e-mail address, certain documentation, and/or forum for the User to send any questions and/or comments regarding the Service. Foonie does not, however, make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy of any statements or advice provided in documentation or response to User's e-mail(s) and/or board postings.
6.4 Loss of Content
User’s Account may experience abnormalities (ie with game characters, props, equipment or currency) due to bugs, version update defects, third-party virus attacks, or other factors. Before the cause of the data abnormality is found, Foonie has the right to temporarily freeze your game account. If data abnormality is caused by abnormal game behavior, Foonie has the right to restore User’s Account’s data to an earlier version prior to the abnormalities (including recovering the data transferred to a third party) without providing any compensation.
6.5 Cross Platform Issues
There are times when different operating systems are not interoperable. Foonie is not responsible for these situations, which may prevent your purchases and game data from being transferred smoothly from one operating system to another. Purchase and game data loss incurred when the User switches between different systems shall be borne solely by the User.
SECTION 7 - INDEMNIFICATION
The User agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Foonie and Foonie’s parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, damages or other losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of or in connection with the User’s breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or the User’s violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.
SECTION 8 –
EQUITABLE REMEDIES
The User acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury, that money damages would be an inadequate remedy and that Foonie shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond or other security, to restrain the User, from such breach or threatened breach. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as preventing Foonie from pursuing any and all remedies available to it, including the recovery of money damages from the User.
SECTION 9 -SEVERABILITY
In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service or of the Privacy Policy is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.
SECTION 10 - TERMINATION
The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this Agreement for all purposes. These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either the User or Foonie.
10.1 Termination Consequences
At termination, the User shall erase all copies of the Service from the User's hardware. For any losses caused by the suspension or termination of all Services, Foonie shall not bear any responsibility to the User or any third party.
10.2 Service change, interruption or termination
To ensure the normal operation and development of games or services, Foonie has the right to change software (including but not limited for upgrades, updates, additions, reductions, interpretations, etc.) and related services and the content of this Agreement, and also has the right to terminate any software/related service/rights of this Agreement; if necessary, Foonie will publish new developments on Foonie’s website. Foonie recommends that Users regularly check the Sites for changes and terminations.

10.3.1 User provides false personal information;
10.3.2 User violates any rules stipulated in this agreement.
10.3.3 User publishes illegal information, violate code of ethics or other laws and regulations
In addition to the provisions mentioned in the preceding paragraph, Foonie also reserves the right to suspend or terminate part or all of the Services and the grant of license herein at any time without prior notice for any reason or for no reason, in Foonie' sole and absolute discretion. Foonie may or may not provide written, electronic or emailed notice to User regarding termination of his/her Account. Notwithstanding the above, Foonie reserves the right to stop offering and/or supporting the Service or a particular game or part of the Service at any time, at which point User’s license to use the Service or a part thereof will be automatically terminated. In such event, Foonie shall not be required to provide refunds, benefits or other compensation to the User in connection with such discontinued Service. Termination of an User’s Account can include disabling access to the Service or any part thereof, including any content User submitted or others submitted.
10.4 User Initiated Termination
Users have the right to unilaterally decide to terminate the usage of Foonie software and related services and can uninstall the software at any time. If Foonie makes any changes to the software, related services or the content of this Agreement to which the User disagrees, the User may unilaterally stop using Foonie games and the Services immediately and uninstall the software. If the User continues to use the Services after changes are made to the Agreement, the User automatically agrees to accept any relevant changes.
SECTION 11 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These Terms of Service and Privacy Policy contain the entire understanding of the User and Foonie, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between the User and Foonie with respect to the Service.
