You may be required to create an account directly with Frustm or register through a third-party service (e.g., Google Play Games or Apple Game Center).

3.2 Account Obligations

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account details and for all purchases and activities occurring under your account. In the event that you suspect any unauthorized access or use of your account, you agree to notify Google immediately. Additionally, if the game provides online services, you agree to notify Frustm immediately of any suspected unauthorized access or use of your account.

3.3 Account Suspension and Termination

Frustm reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account (and all associated licenses and Virtual Items) at any time for any reason, or no reason, without notice, including if we reasonably suspect that you have violated any provision of these Terms.

If the Service permits you to submit content (e.g., usernames, forum posts, chat messages), you grant Frustm a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, display, and distribute your User Content in connection with the operation of the Service.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

8.2 Arbitration (Binding)

You and Frustm agree to resolve all disputes and claims between you and Frustm through binding arbitration, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

This section does not preclude either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm.
