- Privacy Policy. We and Developer will not use any information that personally identifies you without your permission. We and Developer collect certain information regarding You when You use the Game. For example, if you use the Game through a social media site, (including, but not limited, to Facebook) we will obtain certain personal information you have provided to such social media site (such as your “real” name, profile picture, email address and other information you make publicly available via the applicable social media site); the information we obtain may depend on the privacy settings you have with the applicable social media site. We and Developer also collect information about your mobile device or computer such as operating system, browser, device ID, and individual preferences. By analyzing usage Ee may compile certain statistical information, such as anonymous information about how users use the Game and which games they play. Statistical data helps Us understand trends and customer needs, and We use such statistical information to tailor and develop products. We may share such anonymous statistical information (so long as it is not linked to any personally identifying information) without restriction, on commercial terms that we determine in our sole discretion. We may share all data (including personal data) as We reasonably believe is required under law, or to cooperate with any investigation by law enforcement authorities. We may transfer all data to processing, maintenance or storage by third parties (including outside the United States) and, though we will enter into contractual arrangements with such third parties to protect your data, we will not be liable for any acts or omissions of such third parties. We may transfer all data in connection with any sale or our business or all or substantially all of our assets.
- Use by Children. We and Developer do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information without their consent, he or she should contact us at info@qmerce.com . If We become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information from our files
- Miscellaneous. These Terms shall be governed by the law of the State of California exclusive of its choice of law rules. Your conduct may also be subject to other local, state, and national laws.

Any cause of action against us must be brought within one (1) year of the date such cause of action arose. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be replaced with an enforceable provision which most closely achieves the effect of the original provision, and the remaining terms of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement creates any agency, employment, joint venture, or partnership relationship between you and us or enables you to act on our behalf. Except as may be expressly stated in these Terms, these Terms constitute our entire agreement pertaining to the subject matter hereof, and any and all other agreements existing between us relating thereto are hereby canceled. Nothing contained in these terms shall be construed to limit the actions or remedies available to us with respect to any prohibited activity or conduct. Non-enforcement of any term of these Terms does not constitute consent or waiver, and we reserve the right to enforce such term at our sole discretion. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. These Terms are for our benefit (and the benefit of our assignees), and each shall have the right to assert and enforce its provisions against you directly on its own behalf. We may assign our rights under these terms to any third party.
