Spartan Forge makes available mobile apps for access to and use of certain components of the Service (collectively, “Mobile Apps”).

You acknowledge and agree that the Mobile Apps are licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms and conditions of the TOS.

If you make an in-app purchase in a Mobile App, the applicable fee may be denominated in your local currency in the iTunes App Store (https://itunes.apple.com), Google Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps)

or any other applicable app store through which you obtain the Mobile App (each, an “App Store”). The App Store collects the applicable fee from you on your device. You should consult the App Store to understand its sales terms and determine whether the fee includes all applicable taxes, currency exchange settlements and other charges. You are solely responsible for paying all such taxes, fees and other charges. Spartan Forge relies on the App Store to collect fees and to report on the status of accounts. Your access to the Service may be suspended or terminated if you do not make payment on time or in full. In-app purchases are managed by the App Store directly. Spartan Forge does not have the ability to manage any aspect of your in-app purchases on your behalf, including, but not limited to, initiating, canceling or refunding purchases.
