In addition to that, user data can be given away to third parties for promotional issues or be used for own promotional issues.
§ 6.3 Objection
The user can object to the storage of personal data at any time. As the participation of games requires the storage of personal data for technical reasons, the user account will be deleted on receipt of the objection at the earliest possible time, subject to technical availability.

We strive for the security of your data within the scope of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities. Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. This applies to your orders and also to the customer login. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. To secure your data, we maintain technical and organisational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO.
§ 7 Rights of the carrier regarding the accounts
§ 7.1 General rights
All accounts, including their avatars (heros), equipment, experience points, skills, manoeuvres etc. are virtual objects of the game.

§ 7.2 Prohibition of exploitation
Without written permission of Chromatrix, it is prohibited to agree with third parties upon the transfer, the utilization or the provision of accounts or access data. In particular, it is prohibited to sell accounts in whole or in parts, or resources, or to make any other profit by leaving accounts or resources to third parties. The same applies to selling access data, rights of utilization as well as any other attempt to evade this regulation.
§ 8 Liability
Chromatrix is not liable for any damages caused by the use of games of Chromatrix, except for damages that were caused willfully or by gross negligence as well as all damages from death or personal injury.

§ 9 Modification of General Terms and Conditions
Chromatrix reserves the right to modify or extend these General Terms and Conditions at any time.
§ 10 Payment
§ 10.1 Type of payment
All payments are one-time payments to purchase certain services or permits in terms of the rules and the rights of use as mentioned in these General Terms and Conditions.
§ 10.2 Maturity
The payment is mature for the user after the completion of the buying process. The collection of the payment is done by the provider who is authorised for this type of payment.
§ 10.3 Back load
If the payment method (cell phone credit, bank credit) does not contain sufficient funds a return debit note will then ensue. Following this there is automatically an administrative charge of an additional €10.00 per backdated payment if the User does not prove a lesser claim. After a rejected payment from a credit card payment the administrative charge is €40.00 if the User does not prove a lesser claim. Until the full payment of the commitment is received, the user is excluded from the game.
§ 10.4 Reminder
If there is an arrears of payment a reminder will be sent to the e-mail address registered to the user account. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that this e-mail address is valid and able to be accessed.
§ 10.5 Default
Users are also considered to be in default without a reminder if payment is not received 14 days after the maturity of the payment.
§ 10.6 Collection
In the event of non-payment, a reminder (or in case of delay, the payment case) may be referred to a collection firm with all required data from the user. Costs incurred thereby and thereafter are the responsibility of the user.
§ 11 Revocation / Termination
There is no right of revocation in particular because of § 312b III Nr. 6 BGB.
§ 12 Data protection / Integration of third parties
Chromatrix avails itself of the assistance of third parties because of the completion of payment procedures. Please notice the general terms and conditions of the third parties.
The user is permitted to contest these General Terms and Conditions until 14 days after their publication. Taking part in the game without accepting the General Terms and Conditions is not possible out of technical reasons, as because of that contesting the General Terms and Conditions whilst playing following acceptance of them is the same as a termination and leads to an exclusion from the game. Contesting the General Terms and Conditions could also be declared with a deletion of the account.
§ 13 Applicable law
German law is exclusively applicable for all legal matters with regards to Chromatrix. If several areas of jurisdiction are applicable, the area of jurisdiction is that which governs Chromatrix. In international legal matters the courts at the jurisdiction of Chromatrix are solely responsible.
