These terms and conditions are without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions in this regard and in particular those provided by the law applicable in your country of habitual residence.

The history of transactions on the Sites and within the Games (excluding transactions within the Applications) between Archel Play and you can be viewed at any time on the "Account Management" page accessible from the Sites.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase Digital Content, you expressly agree that it will be made available to you immediately and, therefore, you expressly waive your right to withdraw from the purchase.

2.3 For the purposes hereof, the terms "Account Closure" have the meaning given to them in Article 14 of the General Terms of Use.
ARTICLE 3: AVAILABILITY
Our Digital Content offers are valid as long as they are visible on the Sites or within our Games. They may be removed or modified at any time.
ARTICLE 4: PRICE AND PAYMENT
4.1 You may acquire Digital Content by one of the means of payment offered by the Company. The available means of payment depend on the Digital Content that you wish to acquire and your country of residence. Similarly, the price of Digital Content may vary depending on the payment method selected and on your country of residence. The Company shall not be held liable if one of the payment methods usually available for the Digital Content concerned is not available at the time of your order.
Some payment methods are managed by payment service providers for which additional terms and charges may apply. Please check these terms and any additional charges before placing an order. You may also need to create an account with that payment service provider (for example, Paypal).
If you order via an Application, payments will be processed by the Application Platform used.
4.2 Except in exceptional cases, prices are set in the currency of your country of residence and include taxes. They do not take into account possible exchange rates and fees related to a particular payment method. All costs resulting from banking transactions, in particular for international transfers, are at your expense. If the sum due for the purchase of Digital Content does not reach us in its entirety, we will not be able to validate your order. We may then offer you the option of either completing your payment or cancelling your order and refunding the sums we have received as part of this payment. Communication costs related to the acquisition and use of Digital Content remain the responsibility of the User.
4.3 The Company may modify its prices at any time, without prior notice. However, in the event of payment by a non-instantaneous means (for example, bank transfer), the applicable rate shall be that in force on the day the contract was concluded.
4.4 You acknowledge that all payments made by you on the Venues or within the Games, for yourself or for any person you represent, are made with the authorisation of the holder of the means of payment used, failing which, the rules set out in Article 4.5 will apply. In any event, if you have not reached the age of majority in your country of habitual residence, you must obtain the authorisation of your legal representative before making any payment on our Sites or within our Games, if required by law or jurisprudence or applicable usage.
4.5 You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not be liable for any payments made fraudulently on its Sites and Games, regardless of the means of payment used. If you are found to have made a fraudulent payment, i.e. without the free and informed consent of the holder of the means of payment, ArchelPlay reserves the right to sanction you and take legal action against you. Please note that you will find more information on non-financial sanctions in the General Terms and Conditions of Use and that these sanctions may go as far as the definitive suspension of your Account.
Similarly, if you have communicated your login details to a third party who will make a fraudulent payment, Archel Play may then take the same sanctions against you.
4.6 Certain Digital Content can be purchased in exchange for Audiotel codes. You acknowledge that any person using the Audiotel services is deemed to be the holder of the fixed telephone line or mobile telephone subscription (hereinafter the "Subscriber") used to generate the Audiotel codes or is deemed to have obtained the agreement of the Subscriber. The Audiotel codes as well as the SMS (Short Message Service) are not provided by the Company, but by a third party company. The surcharged calls and SMS messages sent from the Subscriber's telephone or mobile phone, in order to obtain Audiotel codes, are invoiced by the telephone operator. Archel Play cannot be held responsible for the use made of the Subscriber's telephone or mobile phone, nor for the resulting invoices. In the event of unauthorised use or hacking of the telephone or mobile phone, the Subscriber must contact his or her operator. Consequently, you acknowledge that the Subscriber is responsible for the use of the subscription telephone(s) of which he is the holder.
4.7 In accordance with our General Terms and Conditions of Use, it is strictly forbidden to sell or exchange in our Games and forums or anywhere else the Audiotels codes acquired on our Sites.
ARTICLE 5: MODE OF PURCHASE AND ORDER CONFIRMATION
5.1 For an order on our Sites :
After selecting Digital Content on our Sites, you will be asked to log into your Account. If this is your first payment on our Sites, Archel Play will ask you to certify your Account. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions of Use for more information on Account certification.
Regardless of the Digital Content selected, you will be presented with a summary of your order before confirmation.
You will receive an email confirmation that your order has been processed.
5.2 For an order within our Games (excluding orders within our Applications) :
Certain Games have a shop allowing you to acquire Digital Content by means of a payment card previously registered on your Account (see article 5.7 below).
After having selected a Digital Content within a shop available in the Game, you will be asked to proceed with its payment. If no payment card is registered on your Account, you will be automatically redirected to our Sites to proceed with the payment. If a payment card is registered on your Account, you will have the possibility (but not the obligation) to proceed to the payment of your order by means of this card. You will be asked for a verification code before your order is validated.
You will receive an e-mail confirming that your order has been taken into account.
5.3 For an order within our Applications :
The process of validation, confirmation and payment of the order depends on the Application Platform used and the settings you have selected on your mobile device. We invite you to consult the terms of use and sale of these platforms for more information.
5.4 Your order is accepted and the contract is concluded when a confirmation email is sent to you or when we activate access to the Digital Content. Unless you choose to pay by a non-instantaneous means (for example, bank transfer), the Digital Content is sold to you on a prepayment basis and therefore payment is due at the time of order and, in the case of tacit renewal of a subscription, at the beginning of the new subscription period.
5.5 In the case of a contract concluded with a payment instrument that does not allow irrevocable collection of the sum due at the time of order, the contract will be automatically terminated if the sum due is not actually collected by us at the latest within ten (10) days following the date of formation of the contract.
5.6 As part of the fight against payment fraud aimed at securing its customers' transactions, Archel Play may ask you to provide proof of identity and/or proof of address before validating your order.
The order will then only be definitive once Archel Play has received these documents and sent the confirmation e-mail. If these documents are not received within the given time limit or if they do not allow the author of the order to be identified with certainty, Archel Play reserves the right not to accept the order.
Archel Play also reserves the right to refuse an order if there is a payment for a previous order that has not yet been settled or in the event of an abnormally high level of orders.
5.7 You may, when ordering on some Sites, save your payment card details so that you do not have to enter them again when making future purchases on some Sites and/or Games.
Your payment card details are securely stored with our payment service provider.
You can consult the list of registered payment cards at any time in Account Management, under "Payments" and then "Manage my payment methods". You will then be able to delete the registered payment card(s).
Each time you wish to make a payment using a payment card already registered on your Account, you will be asked to enter a verification code. This verification code will be sent to you by email or SMS, depending on the choice you made when you agreed to have your bank details recorded. If you wish to change this choice, you must go to Account Management, delete the registered card and then re-register it using the other security feature.
