17. CONNECTIVITY

Gangster Paradise will do anything in its power to keep the app up and running. We can not guarantee the connection. If the connection fails we will not refund any payments.

18. FORCE MAJEUERE

Gangster Paradise shall not be held responsible for any failure to perform its obligations under this Terms of Service (Connectivity, loss of account information) if such failure is caused by events or conditions beyond Gangster Paradise’s control. 

19. ADDENDUM

Other sections of the game may have its own rules (such as the Chat Room, Game Forum.) These rules are an addition to the Terms of Service, not a replacement. Violation of these rules is considered to be a violation of the Terms of Service and will be dealt with accordingly.

20. PLAYER STAFF INTERACTION 

Both players and staff are expected to coexist in a polite and respectful environment. This applies to professional interaction only, as there are instances when the staff member is acting in the capacity of a player, and not an administrator. This is not to say a staff member may become abusive and claim they were acting in a player capacity, but it does mean a staff member need not be stoic at all times. They're volunteers, and need to relax/get into arguments too. This should never be the case in professional settings (i.e. Helpdesk requests). 

21. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Since people of diverse ages, backgrounds, religions, and nationalities play the Service, it is expected that the players will refrain from speech that is deliberately inflammatory, excessively vulgar, and/or personally derogatory. In other words: No flaming and keep the "trash talk" to a minimum. This applies to the general chat (public and private) as well as the messages (public and private). Pushing excessive quantities of chat (public or private) into the game, whether directed at the entire game or at a particular player is considered spamming. 
The public chat and forums are strictly English, as the majority of the game population speak English as their primary language, and it is impossible to provide adequate moderation in every language.
In addition, using the Service to promote the distribution of or access to warez, MP3s, or other illegal software or products is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. 
Using the Service to distribute pornography or access to pornography of any kind is strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated. 

22. CREDITS

Contact Gangster Paradise
In-game help desk
contact at gangsterparadiseapp . com	Fortumo – SMS
Helpdesk: Online Support		

SMS purchases ONLY: Credits may be purchased by users using the information provided within the "Credits" section of the app. This is optional and not a requirement or hidden cost. You must understand that payments are processed by our service provider Fortumo who can be contacted here. Any problem with a purchase should be brought to their attention. Any possible problems you experience before or after a purchase should be submitted to our ticket based support system (GP Support) under the "Credit Purchase Problem" category to be sent to the correct personnel. Upon following the instructions given in the Credits section of Gangster Paradise OR / AND additional methods of payments on the affiliated Fortumo website, a user will be provided with a password delivered from the Fortumo system. Fortumo will automatically post the password and purchase data to the Gangster Paradise database, allowing a user to enter the password provided into the Credits section and receive their in-game credits. This password can only be entered once by one user. Purchases are non-subscription based.

Credits are not required to use the service, however they provide additional virtual items, advancements or features that may benefit a user and enhance their experience. Credits can also be transferred to others by using the in-game deal system (an escrow technique is enforced), which ensures the virtual goods are delivered to both participants. Due to the optional nature of the credits system, in a normal hourly session a user could use anywhere between 0 to around 100 credits, this being entirely dependent on if they've already purchased some of the in-game items available or are in need of the benefits at the time.

You agree that Gangster Paradise is only responsible for providing adequate credits to the customer after a purchase. After a customer receives his or her purchased credits, he/she is to be held fully responsible for what is to become of the credits. You agree that Gangster Paradise will be in no way responsible for (but is not limited to) the loss of credits due to unauthorized access to your account.

Credits work on a no refund, no return policy. After the credits have been added to your account on the game you cannot claim a refund or return the credits for your money back. You are responsible for their safety. 

You agree to not (re)sell Gangster Paradise credits for anything other than in-game goods. Selling credits (regardless of how you received them) for real money is prohibited, and will not be tolerated. You agree not to transfer credits which will ultimately lead to you receiving real currency. You agree not to purchase credits with real money from users other than those who officially sell them.

You agree (and understand) that after a reset, you can claim 100% of your paid for credits IF and only if you purchased them within 1 month of the reset. In other words, your credits will only "roll over" to the next round if a reset occurred within 1 month of purchasing your credits. After that, they cannot be claimed.

We hope you have fun playing the game
