    4.5. You may also log in through some third-party systems if expressly permitted in the Product.

    4.6. If expressly permitted by Wargaming, a “demo account” is possible in certain Products. In this case, you will not receive a separate Nickname or password and the authorization for such Product is made through the specific technical device (mobile phone, tablet, etc.) that you use.

    b) any hacking tools being used or that might be used in relation to a Product.

    4.11. We have implemented physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to help safeguard and prevent unauthorised access, use, alteration, modification and/or disclosure of your Account information. We shall have no liability to you for any loss or damage arising from any unauthorised use of your Account or any unauthorised access, use, alteration, modification and/or disclosure of your personal information to the extent it arises from your culpable omissions or negligent conduct.

    Instructions on withdrawal

    Right of withdrawal

    You have the right to withdraw from any Contract within 14 calendar days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the Contract. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us,

    Wargaming Group Limited
    105 Agion Omologiton Avenue
    1080 Nicosia
    Republic of Cyprus
    wf@wargaming.net
    +357 22 864444
    https://eu.wargaming.net/support/,

    of your decision to withdraw from the Contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory. You can also fill out and submit the model withdrawal form or another clear statement electronically on our website https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/600. If you make use of this option, we will send you confirmation of receipt of such withdrawal without delay (e.g. by e-mail).

    To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

    Effects of withdrawal

    If you withdraw from the Contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you under this Contract, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 calendar days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this Contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

    If you have requested that the services begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time you have communicated us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal from that Contract, in comparison with the full coverage of these services under the Contract.

    Important:

    • You lose your right of withdrawal after the Paid Content or Services have been fully supplied and if the supply has begun with your prior express consent, and with the acknowledgement that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the Paid Content or Services have been fully supplied by us.
    • You lose your right of withdrawal insofar as the Contract comprises the supply of Paid Content or Services which are not supplied on a tangible medium if the supply has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgment that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal.

    6.7. Based on the aforesaid you understand that by purchasing Paid Content or Services, you consent that we make available these Paid Content or Services to you directly after we have accepted your order. You will lose your right of withdrawal once the Paid Content or Services have been made fully available to you by us. However, your right of withdrawal is not lost if you order Paid Content or Services that are granted to you for a certain period of time (e.g. time-limited premium memberships).

    6.8. Please note that due to technical limitations we cannot warrant that payments made by you via a specific payment method will be reimbursed to you via that same payment method. You agree that reimbursements for such payments can be facilitated by us via another, common means of payment, e.g. via transfer of money to your bank account, in case reimbursements via these payment methods are technically impossible. In any case, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

    6.9. Applicable consumer protection law, in particular your right of withdrawal under section 6 “Paid Content or Services”, will not in any way be restricted by this EULA.

In any case, you will not incur any fees because of such reimbursement.

    9.7. Wargaming will do its best to make Content and Products available to you.
