THIS SECTION ONLY APPLIES TO PLAYERS IN SOUTH AFRICA. Before bringing a formal legal case, first contact our Customer Support team at support@playthunee.com to address your issue. Most disputes can be resolved that way. We Both Agree to Arbitrate If we can’t resolve our dispute through Customer Service, you and Playthunee.com or any member of the Playthunee.com Corporate Family all agree to resolve any claims relating to the Terms, the Privacy Policy or Playthunee.com’s Services through final and binding arbitration. This applies to all kinds of claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one of the exceptions in the Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate sub-section. It also applies even after you stopped using your Playthunee.com account or deleted it. An arbitration proceeding is before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge and jury, so we are all giving up our right to a trial before a judge and jury. Arbitrations have different rules than lawsuits in court. They are less formal than lawsuits in courts, and provide limited opportunity to force the other side to share information relevant to the dispute—a process called discovery. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. But, if any of us does not like the arbitrator’s decision, the courts only have a limited ability to change the outcome of arbitration or make the arbitrator reconsider his or her decision. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too. In addition, if you, Playthunee.com or a Playthunee.com Corporate Family member brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other of us can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). You, Playthunee.com or the Playthunee.com Corporate Family member may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing. The Arbitration Process The Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA) will run the arbitration between you and Playthunee.com or the Playthunee.com Corporate Family member, and AFSA’s then-current rules and procedures (including their Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes) will be used. If something in these Terms is different than AFSA’s rules and procedures, then we will follow these Terms instead. You can look at AFSA’s rules and procedures on their website www.adr.org or you can call them at +2711 320 0600. Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate We all agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to
The Arbitration Act 42 of 1965 (including its procedural provisions) is the law that will be applied to determine whether Section 17 (Agreement to Arbitrate and Class Action Waiver) can be enforced and how it should be interpreted. Apart from that, if you are a South African resident, these Terms and our relationship will be governed by South Africa law, except for its conflicts of laws principles. If you reside outside South Africa these Terms and our relationship will be governed by Irish law, except for its conflicts of laws principles.
If you are a South African resident, judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions) that are excluded from the Arbitration Agreement in Section 17 must be brought in provincial court in Gauteng, South Africa, , unless we both agree to some other location. You and Playthunee.com both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in Gauteng, South Africa. If you reside outside South africa, judicial proceedings must be brought in the courts of South Africa, unless we both agree to some other location, and you and Playthunee.com both consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in South Africa.
Except as described in Section 17 under the “No Class Actions” heading, if any part of these Terms, Community Rules or the Privacy Policy is not enforceable, the rest of these Terms, Community Rules and the Privacy Policy still applies and is binding and any unenforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible.
Except as described in Section 17 under the “No Class Actions” heading, if any part of these Terms, Community Rules or the Privacy Policy is not enforceable, the rest of these Terms, Community Rules and the Privacy Policy still applies and is binding and any unenforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible.
These Terms, and any other policies or rules We reference in these Terms, make up the entire agreement between you and Us relating to the subject matter of these Terms, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties relating to the subject matter of these Terms, whether those prior understandings were electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and Us.
If We provide a translated version of these Terms, the Community Rules, the Playthunee.com Privacy Policy, or any other terms or policy, it is for informational purposes only. If the translated version means something different than the English version, then the English meaning will be the one that applies.
If We do not enforce a provision of these Terms, the Community Rules, or our Privacy Policy, that does not waive our right to do so later. And, if We do expressly waive a provision of these Terms, the Community Rules, or our Privacy Policy that does not mean it is waived for all time in the future. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by both you and Us to be legally binding.
We may notify you by posting something on www.playthunee.com, or in the Playthunee.com game(s) you play, and sending you an e-mail or using other ways of communicating with you based on the contact information you provide to Us. If you are a player in South Africa, and you have to give Us notice of something according to the Terms, Community Rules, or our Privacy Policy, the notice must be in writing and addressed to Playthunee.com Attn: Social Engine, 6 Basil street, Ferndale, Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa, 2194, unless we have provided a more specific method way of notifying us. If you are a player outside of the United States, and you have to give Us notice of something according to the Terms, Feature Terms or the Playthunee.com Privacy Policy, the notice must be in writing and addressed to: Playthunee.com Attn: Social Engine, 6 Basil street, Ferndale, Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa, 2194, unless we have provided a more specific method way of notifying us. Any attempted notice that does not follow these rules has no legal effect.
You agree that given the unique and irreplaceable nature of the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms and the Community Rules, if you breach these Terms, Community Rules and/or our Privacy Policy, or intend to breach these Terms, Community Rules or Privacy Policy, money damages alone will not be enough to repair the harm to Playthunee.com. Therefore, for disputes that are not required to be resolved through arbitration as described in Section 17, Playthunee.com may seek injunctive or other equitable relief (e.g., get a court order to make you stop doing whatever you’re doing that is causing harm) if you breach or intend to breach these Terms, Community Rules or our Privacy Policy and Playthunee.com does not have to post any bond or surety or submit proof of damages. You agree to limit your claims to claims for money damages, as limited by Section 15 (Limitations; Waivers of Liability). And, you agree not to seek injunctive or equitable relief or otherwise seek to stop Us from operating any aspect of the Service or any Playthunee.com Game.
We are not liable for any changes or problems out of our control, for example changes or problems caused by like natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

You acknowledge and expressly agree that we may access in real-time, record and/or store archives of these communications, on Playthunee.com's servers to make use of them to protect the safety and well-being of our players and Playthunee.com's rights and property in connection with our Services; to conduct research; to operate, improve, personalize and optimize our Services and our players' experiences, including through the use of analytics; and to manage and deliver contextual advertising.
Payment Information
If you purchase a license to use in-game virtual currency or virtual items in a game you play on Playthunee.com, our third-party payment processor will collect the billing and financial information it needs to process your charges. This may include your postal address, e-mail address and financial information. Playthunee.com does not collect or store your financial information, like credit card numbers. However, Playthunee.com's payment processors may share non-financial information with us related to your purchases, like your name, billing address and the items purchased in order to fulfill your order. Playthunee.com may also obtain the billing and payment information that you provide when your purchase is processed by someone else (like Facebook, Apple or Google) such as when you purchase something in a game you play on a social network or that you downloaded on your mobile device. Our Terms of Use(Service) explain our policies and terms relevant to our charges, billing practices, third-party credits and virtual currencies. Please note that purchases of third party credits or currencies may also be subject to those parties' policies.
Customer Support Correspondence
Except as provided herein, when you ask for help from our Customer Support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them (generally, your name and e-mail address), information about your game play or activity on our Services, and your Playthunee.com player and/or social network ID number. We will also store the communications you have with the Customer Service team and any information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the Services.
Information You Give Us For Text Messaging Services
We receive and store the information you provide, including your mobile telephone number, when you choose to sign up to receive SMS messages.
Other Sources
We may collect or receive information about you from other sources like third-party information providers. We use this information along with information you provide us directly, for example, to help you and your friends connect or to serve you advertising more tailored to your interests.
The main use of the information we collect and store is to provide a better gaming experience, but there are other uses as well. The uses for which we collect and store your information include:
to operate, improve and optimize our Services and our players' experiences;
to create your game accounts and allow you to play our games;
to identify and suggest connections with other Playthunee.com players and personalize our Services to you;
to enable players to communicate with each other;
to provide technical support and respond to player inquiries;
to protect the safety and well-being of our players;
to protect Playthunee.com's rights and property in connection with our Services;
to prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Terms of Use(Service);
to manage and deliver contextual and behavioral advertising;
to notify players of in-game updates, new products or promotional offers;
to administer rewards, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by us or our business partners;
to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes we may have with you or other players, and to enforce our agreements with third parties; and
to conduct research.
One important use of your information is communication. If you have provided your e-mail address to Playthunee.com, we will use it to respond to customer support inquiries, and keep you informed of your in-game activity, including comments from friends, let you know about in-game leaderboard changes or friend requests for playing multiplayer. Some messages, like invites for friends to join you in a game, may include your name and profile photo. We may also send promotional e-mail messages and promotional SMS messages (e.g. text messages) ("Promotional Communications") directly or in partnership with other parties, in accordance with your marketing preferences. Each Promotional Communication will offer you choices about receiving additional messages. Receipt of such communications depends on Playthunee.com having certain contact information from you.
At this time, there is no general agreement on how companies like Playthunee.com should interpret Do Not Track signals. Playthunee.com does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals, whether that signal is received on a computer or on a mobile device.
Our websites and games may contain advertisements from Third-Party Services, which are companies other than Playthunee.com that may link to their own websites, online services or mobile applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Third-Party Services. If you have any questions about how these Third-Party Services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly. back to top
Most of our websites and games are not for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not use these websites or games at any time. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.
IMPORTANT: When you use Our Services, your data may be sent to South Africa and possibly other countries. If you don't live in South Africa, Playthunee.com will control your personal data. As part of our international operations, we may transfer data to our Affiliates (which means subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership with Playthunee.com.) from time to time for our legitimate business purposes. For example, Playthunee.com provides certain services to its Affiliates. We store information about players and visitors to our sites on servers located in the South Africa and Ireland, and we may also store this information on servers and equipment in other countries. Personal data collected within Switzerland and the European Economic Area ("EEA") may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of Switzerland and the EEA. The data we hold may also be processed by employees operating outside of Switzerland and the EEA who work for us or one of our Affiliates or for one of our vendors. This staff may be engaged in, among other things, (i) the processing of transactions and your payment details and (ii) the provision of support services. When we transfer your personal information internationally we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely, lawfully and in the manner we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your information is transferred to or stored, used or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you are resident.
How long we retain your information depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. For instance, we may retain some information for a few years after you have closed your account with us if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend or establish legal rights. back to top
We implement security measures to help protect the security of your information both online and offline. We take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures vary based upon the sensitivity of your information.
If you have an account registered directly with Playthunee.com, your profile information is protected by the password you use to access your Playthunee.com account. It is important that you protect and maintain your Playthunee.com account's security and that you immediately tell us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your Playthunee.com account, the Service allows you to request that instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. If you access our Services through a social network and your social network account is hacked, this may lead to someone playing your Playthunee.com games without your permission. So, be careful to keep your social network account information, including your social network account password, secure as well. We urge you to log out of your Playthunee.com account and any social network account you have used to access our Services after you use it.
When you sign into your Playthunee.com account or enter payment information, we or our third party payment processor use encryption to transmit that information.
While we take precautions against possible security breaches of our Services and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any transmission is at your own risk. If you have questions about the security of our websites, please contact us at privacy@Playthunee.com
