YOU CERTIFY THAT YOU ARE OF THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY IN THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH YOU RESIDE OR, IF YOU ARE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 13 AND THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY, THAT YOU ARE USING THE SERVICES WITH THE SUPERVISION OF YOUR PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN WHO AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THIS EULA. MAKE SURE TO REVIEW THIS EULA WITH YOUR PARENT OR GUARDIAN SO THAT YOU BOTH UNDERSTAND ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

NatureSims LLC (“NatureSims,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is pleased to provide you access to, and use of software, websites, applications, and content (collectively, the “Services”). These EULA (“Terms“) apply to your purchase, access to, and use of, any Services. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with NatureSims for products, services or otherwise. If you are using the Services on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf and that such entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or that entity violate these Terms.

NatureSims reserves the right to change or modify these Terms on a going forward basis at any time and at our sole discretion. If NatureSims makes changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes as appropriate, such as providing notice through the Services and/or updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. Your continued use of the Services will confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services. We encourage you to review the Terms from time to time to ensure you understand the terms and conditions that apply to your access to, and use of, the Services.

This agreement was written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

  1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to access and use the Services. There is no exception to this requirement.

By your use of the Services, you agree that you are either 18 years of age or older, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and that you are fully able and competent to understand and accept this EULA as a binding contract and to abide by all Terms.

  1. Software Updates

Certain software may be required to access and use the Services. In addition, we may need to automatically update some of the software you obtain through the Services or provide you with new software to keep the Services functioning properly, which could include bug fixes, patches, enhanced features, missing plug-ins and new versions. By using the Services, you agree to such automatic updating.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and where technically feasible, to disable your access to or ability to use Services that we believe present a health and safety risk or violate our community standards, agreements, laws, regulations or policies. We will not incur any liability or responsibility if we choose to remove, disable, or delete such access or ability to use any or all portion(s) of the Services.
