5. Paid Content ("Keys"), Pricing and Availability
- 5.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions of Keys and Paid Content available from Us correspond to the actual description and Paid Content (activation Key) that you will receive. You should note that this is a "Digitally Delivered Product" and no actual hard copy or physical product, box, pamphlets or Game is being supplied.
- 5.2 Please note that sub-Clause 5.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to negligence on Our part and refers only to minor discrepancies. Please refer to Clause 10 if your Purchase of the Paid Content is incorrect.
- 5.3 We may from time to time change Our prices. Changes in price will not affect any Purchase that you have already purchased but will apply to any subsequent new purchases. We will aim to inform you of any change in price at least 7 days before the change is due to take effect, and this should be the price shown on our website next to each game key description. If you do not agree to such a change, you may cancel the Contract as described in sub-Clause 12.1.
- 5.4 Minor changes may, from time to time, be made to our website or contents, for example, to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, or to address technical or security issues. These changes will not alter the main characteristics of the Paid Content and should not normally affect your use of our website. However, if any change is made that would affect your purchase or use of the Paid Content, suitable explanation information will be provided to you.
- 5.5 Where any updates are made to our Paid Content, that Paid Content will continue to match Our description of it as provided to you before you purchased your Key. Please note that this does not prevent Us from enhancing the Paid Content or description, thereby going beyond the original description.
- 5.6 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all prices shown on Our Site are correct at the time of going online. All pricing information is reviewed and updated at regular intervals. Changes in price will not affect any order that you have already placed (please note sub-Clause 5.10 regarding VAT, however).
- 5.7 All prices are checked by Us before We accept your order. In the unlikely event that We have shown incorrect pricing information, We will contact you in writing to inform you of the mistake. If the correct price is lower than that shown when you made your order, we will simply charge you the lower amount and continue processing your order. If the correct price is higher, We will give you the option to purchase the Key at the correct price or to cancel your order (or the affected part of it). We will not proceed with processing your order in this case until you respond. If We do not receive a response from you within 24 hours, We will treat your order as cancelled and notify you of this in writing.
- 5.8 If We discover an error in the price or description of your Key after your order is processed, We will inform you immediately and make all reasonable efforts to correct the error. You may, however, have the right to cancel the Contract if this happens. If We inform you of such an error and you do wish to cancel the Contract, please refer to sub-Clause 12.4.
- 5.9 If the price of a Key that you have ordered changes between your order being placed and Us processing that order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on Our Site at the time of placing your order.
