Unless otherwise stated: codes (1) are only available for future new orders placed online; (2) cannot be used retrospectively; (3) can only be redeemed once per customer; and (4) expire after 12 months. You cannot use more than one discount code per transaction unless we state otherwise; if we do so, the order in which the codes are to be applied is in our sole discretion.

3. We are entitled at any time (with or without notice) to end this contract (including permanently banning an account) or suspend part or all of our Game (including suspending an account or removal of certain account privileges) if we have reason to believe that you have breached our Terms of Service or if any payment is charged back or if it is necessary to protect us or others or if we are required to do so by law or appropriate authority. There will be no refund.
4. If this contract ends: Your right to use our Game and all licences are terminated. Currency, Virtual Items and scores associated with the account will be deleted. Existing rights and liabilities are unaffected. All clauses in this contract which are stated or intended to continue after termination will continue to apply.

Right to cancel ("cooling off")

Health & Safety Disclaimer Notice

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or certain geometric visual patterns. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures".

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop viewing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms while playing Lioden.
