2. When this Agreement Begins
2.1 By submitting your Order you are placing an order for the purchase of a licence to use the Full Version Game.
2.2
This Agreement begins when we confirm our acceptance of your Order. The
timing when our acceptance is deemed to take place depends on the
jurisdiction in which the Order is placed and the method of your
Licence Fee payment:
a)
where the Licence Fee is charged to a mobile phone bill, and you place
the Order in the UK or in any other jurisdiction where the charge to
the mobile phone bill occurs when we send a confirmation premium rate
text message with the Unlocking Code to the mobile handset from which
the Order was placed ("Confirmation SMS") then this Agreement begins
when we send the Confirmation SMS;
b)
where the Licence Fee is charged to a mobile phone bill and you place
the Order in Germany, Belgium or any other jurisdiction where the
Licence Fee charge to the mobile phone bill occurs when you place the
Order then this Agreement begins when you place the Order;
c)
where the Licence Fee is charged to a debit or credit card, this
agreement begins when we send you the unlocking code via email
2.3
Once this Agreement begins you will be liable for payment of the
Licence Fee and for all the other terms and obligations set out in the
Agreement.
2.4
We typically send you the Confirmation SMS, which contains the
Unlocking Code, within 5 minutes of your submission of the Order. If
you do not receive the Confirmation SMS within 5 minutes please query
this with our customer service department via: www.mbiz-support.com .
3 Charges and Payment
3.1 The Licence Fee will be charged:
a) to your mobile phone bill or pre-paid card, where an Order is made over a mobile handset; or
b) to your debit or credit card, where the application is made via the website www.tnb-game.com
3.2
For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of your mobile
operator, including any terms and conditions for a pre-pay service,
shall separately apply.
For
example, where you place the Order using a mobile handset in the UK or
in an other jurisdiction where the charge to the mobile phone bill
occurs when we send the Confirmation SMS, your Order is submitted by
way of a standard text message (SMS). You will therefore be charged for
the cost of a single SMS message at your standard operator's rate
(depending on the specific terms of your mobile service), in addition
to the Licence Fee.
4. Grant and Scope of Licence
4.1
