5.1.a. We may use artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning and other automated tools and systems to identify, assess, review, restrict, remove or otherwise moderate User Content and communications that may breach these Terms, our Community Guidelines or any other applicable policies. These technologies may analyse User Content, gameplay activity, communications, user reports, account activity and other information made available to us in order to detect harmful, abusive, fraudulent, unlawful or otherwise prohibited behaviour and to help maintain the safety, security and integrity of the Avakin Applications. We may take action based on information identified through these technologies, user reports or other information available to us, including restricting or removing User Content, limiting account functionality, suspending or terminating accounts, or taking any other action permitted under these Terms. Where appropriate, moderation decisions may be supported by human review.
5.2 The Avakin Life Applications are entertainment services and ancillary to this Lockwood is involved in the transmission, storage, retrieval and dealing with third party User Content without review, selection or alteration of their content – for which it is a mere conduit.
5.3 The views expressed in any User Content are the views of the individual authors and not those of Lockwood unless specified otherwise by Lockwood.
5.4 Lockwood is not responsible for and disclaims all liability in respect of any comments, views or remarks expressed in any User Content.
5.5 By using the Avakin Life Applications you acknowledge that Lockwood has no responsibility to review the content of any User Content and that all User Content are made available on the basis that Lockwood is not required to and does not exercise any control or judgement of their content.
5.6 Nothing in these Terms requires Lockwood to review, monitor or moderate all User Content before or after it is made available through the Avakin Life Applications. Accordingly, we do not guarantee that all User Content which breaches these Terms, our Community Guidelines or applicable law will be identified or removed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lockwood and its partners shall be entitled to remove or reject any User Content and remove or suspend your ability to make or access User Content where we reasonably consider it necessary to enforce these Terms, our Community Guidelines or applicable law, or to protect our users, our services or third parties.
Additionally, Lockwood and its partners shall have the right to block certain text prompts and blur resulting User Content if either finds (in its sole discretion) that the prompt or resulting image is too graphic, offensive, insensitive or hurtful, even where you may not have had any ill intent or where the User Content does not otherwise violate the prohibitions described above. Lockwood and its partners may also block text prompts or block or remove User Content that they otherwise reasonably consider objectionable or believe may expose Lockwood, its partners or others to harm or liability.
5.7 To the extent possible under applicable law, you own the User Content that you create on Avakin Life. You agree that Lockwood may use, publish, edit, modify, record and adapt your User Content for any and all purposes relating to Avakin Life and the business of Lockwood and you hereby grant it an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive right and licence and all necessary permissions, consents and licences required for it to use your User Content in that way. You further waive all so called moral rights in your User Content. Any data collected in this way, including the content of your voice and text communications, the time and location of your activities, and your Platform profile and IP address, may be used by us to enforce these terms and conditions and/or passed to the police or other appropriate authorities.

A reporting mechanism may be made available for these purposes, and you can also let us know if you discover any material which you believe contravenes these terms and conditions please inform Lockwood or a forum moderator with details of the page you found it on or by contacting us at: www.avakin.com/support.
5.11 It is a known risk of internet usage that people are not necessarily who they say they are. People may provide information or behave in a way that is unreliable, misleading, unlawful or illegal. Lockwood has no way of telling if statements made by other users are true. This is a decision that can only be made by you. You should therefore exercise some degree of caution when using any web site. By using the Avakin Life Applications and its services you accept that this is the case and accept that you therefore use the Avakin Life Applications at your own risk. PLEASE TAKE PARTICULAR CARE IN RELATION TO THE DISCLOSURE OF YOUR OWN PERSONAL INFORMATION SUCH AS YOUR SURNAME, ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER AND PLACES YOU GO.
5.12 You acknowledge and agree that, if necessary, Lockwood will communicate with you via the email address you have provided to Lockwood or through Platform.

6.2 When you place an order to purchase Virtual Items from any Avakin Life Application, we may send you a confirmatory e-mail that will contain details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and maintain a copy of it for your records. Lockwood keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries. When you purchase Platform credits from a Platform, you are agreeing to Platform’s payment terms. Lockwood is not a party to this transaction.
6.3 For Virtual Items, your order will represent an offer to us to pay to expand the scope of the licence of the relevant Avakin Life Application which will be accepted by us when we make the Virtual Items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card, whichever comes first.
6.4 The provision of Virtual Items for use on Avakin Life Applications is a service provided by Lockwood that commences immediately upon acceptance by Lockwood of your offer to purchase a licence. By ordering Virtual Items you agree and accept that Lockwood through Avakin Life will provide them to you immediately following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the United Kingdom or European Union and you purchase a product or service through Avakin Life, you have the right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (the “Cooling Off Period”). However, you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the services begins before the end of the Cooling-Off Period. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase Virtual Items from us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our services begins immediately once your purchase is completed.
We may personalise your experience within the Avakin Life Applications, including by recommending Virtual Items, subscriptions, events, promotions and other content that we believe may be relevant to you based on your gameplay, interactions, preferences and use of the Avakin Life Applications. These recommendations are intended to enhance your experience and do not oblige you to make any purchase.
