ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

You may need to register to use certain functionality of the Site and in order to download, install or activate the Software. When you complete the registration process, you create an Overwolf account and become a Member. Your account allows you to participate in certain Services, subject to the Terms and the Overwolf Privacy Policy, which is available at Privacy policy. Overwolf reserves the right to refuse to allow a User to open an account for any reason, or to limit the number of accounts a User can establish on the Site or with respect to the Services, all at Overwolf's sole discretion.

To create an account, you must select a username and password. Your username is your Overwolf identity. You may not select a username that is used by someone else, and your username cannot be indecent, or otherwise offensive, or be used in any way that violates these Terms and common practices. You may not provide false information during the registration process. You must provide truthful and accurate information while creating your Overwolf account.

You should not reveal your password to other users. Overwolf will not ask you to reveal your password. If you forget your password, you can request to have a new password sent to your registered e-mail address. Your account is at risk if you let someone use it inappropriately and your account is subject to termination if you or anyone using your account violates Overwolf Terms. If your account is terminated, you may not join Overwolf again without its express permission.

You agree to immediately notify Overwolf of any unauthorized use of your Overwolf account or password. You are fully and solely responsible for the security of your computer system and all activity on your account, even if such activities were not committed by you. Overwolf will not be liable for any losses or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account or password, and you agree to indemnify and hold Overwolf harmless for any improper or illegal use of your account. This includes illegal or improper use by someone to whom you have given permission to use your account.

TERMINATION OF ACCOUNTS

You agree that Overwolf may for any reason, at its sole discretion and without notice, terminate your account, and remove from the Site or Services any Content associated with your account. Grounds for such termination may include but shall not be limited to (i) extended periods of inactivity, (ii) violation of the letter or spirit of these Terms, (iii) fraudulent, harassing or abusive behavior or (iv) behavior that is harmful to other users, third parties, or the business interests of Overwolf.

If Overwolf believes, at its sole discretion, that a violation of these Terms or any illegal or inappropriate behavior has occurred, we may take any other corrective action we deem appropriate. We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations of these Terms or illegal and inappropriate behavior on the Site and/or Services. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone believed to have violated these Terms or to have engaged in illegal behavior on the Site and/or Services. You may request termination of your Overwolf account at any time and for any reason by sending an email to support@overwolf.com. Any suspension, termination, or cancellation shall not affect your obligations to Overwolf under these Terms (including but not limited to ownership, indemnification, and limitation of liability), which by their sense and context are intended to survive such suspension, termination, or cancellation.

PAYMENTS

Some Services are provided free of charge. In some cases, we allow Members to pay for a monthly subscription (in the amount as determined by the app developer) in order to remove the advertisements from the Software/apps which they have downloaded. This is one way which Members can show support for the applicable app developer. When a Member signs up for a subscription, we will automatically charge him/her the applicable payment every month. The subscription months will be calculated from the date of payment. The Member may cancel the subscription at any time, such that s/he will continue to receive the benefits in connection with the subscription until the end of that month and his/her subscription will end at the end of that month. We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our offered subscription plans at any time in accordance with these Terms. We may change the price for the subscriptions, including recurring subscription fees from time to time and will communicate any price changes to you in advance and, if applicable, how to accept those changes. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. Subject to applicable law, you accept the new price by continuing to use the Service after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with a price change, you have the right to reject the change by unsubscribing from the subscription prior to the price change going into effect.

Overwolf currently accepts payments through PayPal, but may add or change payment methods in its sole discretion. You must respect the terms and conditions of any payment methods you use. We reserve the right to cancel any Services ordered if full payment is not timely received. We reserve the right to cancel any transaction that we have reason to believe to have been fraudulently made, including by unauthorized use of a credit card, debit card, or other payment method.

You are solely responsible for any taxes on amounts you may pay or obtain through the Services. Overwolf will deduct applicable charges and taxes from any payable amounts, as required by law.

We use cookies and similar technologies to help personalize your experience and to personalize the ads we serve you.
