  4. The Game or rather the game world can constantly be updated, modified, expanded, and changed to keep it permanently interesting for as large a number of Users as possible. Accordingly, the User receives the right to play the Game in the version offered.

  5. The User does not have the right to keep the Game’s version as it has been at the time the contract was concluded.

  6. TROLLGAMES reserves the right to suspend complete operations of the Game or of individual game worlds without stating any reason. Depending on User’s selection, User has the right to be reimbursed or receive credit applied to any other game worlds operated by TROLLGAMES for any fees paid in advance (e.g. for Premium Memberships).

§ 3 Membership and Conclusion of Contract



  1. Membership begins with successful Game registration, i.e. opening of a Game Account at TROLLGAMES.

  2. By completing the registration form, the User provides a binding offer to conclude a game use contract. For this purpose, all mandatory data fields of the registration form must be filled out completely and correctly. Each game use contract refers to a participation in a certain game world of the game, Magoia, using a certain Account.

  3. The Service and Delivery Contract between TROLLGAMES and User is concluded at the time the application to open a Game Account is accepted by TROLLGAMES. This Contract may be accepted either expressly by TROLLGAMES or by its first fulfillment activity. TROLLGAMES shall immediately confirm by e-mail at the User’s stated e-mail account receipt of the application for proper opening of a game Account. Access confirmation does not constitute a binding acceptance of the User’s application. However, the access confirmation can be connected with an acceptance declaration.

  4. The User may terminate User’s Membership for the basic version at any time by sending an e-mail to admin@trollgames.de. To terminate Premium Memberships, please refer to § 5 (VI) and § 10.

  5. The User is not entitled to a Membership.


§ 4 Right to Cancel the Contract



  1. The User may cancel User’s declaration to conclude a game use contract (i.e. User’s application for Membership and creation of a game Account for a certain game world) and for ordering features within the scope of Premium Memberships within a term of two (2) weeks (“Deadline”) without stating any reason in writing (e.g. letter, fax, e-mail). No reasons must be stated. The term starts with receipt of these written instructions, however, not prior to concluding the contract, and not prior to TROLLGAMES fulfilling its duty to inform pursuant to § 312c paragraph 2 BGB [German Civil Code], § 1 paragraphs 1, 2, 4 BGB-InfoV [German Civil Code – Duty to Inform Act], and § 312e paragraph 1 (1) BGB, § 3 BGB-InfoV.

However, TROLLGAMES is entitled to charge a service fee for the suspension, suspension notification, as well as for reinstatement or creation of a new Account, whenever the Account is paid in full. In such cases, it is up to the User to provide proof that there was no damage or the damage was significantly lower.

  5. The User can only offset any receivables by TROLLGAMES, if User has an undisputed or legally determined counterclaim.

  4. Prior to reporting any possible error, the User is asked to consult the Magoia forum and if applicable other help to rectify problems (discussion forums for problems) provided by TROLLGAMES. The User agrees to support TROLLGAMES to rectify any possible defects.

  4. The foreseeable damage is limited to 30.00 Euros per Account.

  5. The aforementioned exclusion or limitations of liability include employees, staff members, team members, representatives, and agents of TROLLGAMES specifically in favor of shareholders, employees, representative bodies, and agents’ personal liability.

  8. Specifically, there is no entitlement to re-establish the condition of the Account prior to such malfunction.

  9. By Ruling on May 12, 1998, the District Court of Hamburg decided that if links to third party contents are provided, one is possibly liable for such linked pages. According to the District Court’s ruling, this can be prevented by expressly distancing oneself from these contents.

  10. Herewith, TROLLGAMES, distances itself expressly from any third party contents, which can be accessed by links provided by TROLLGAMES, the servers supporting those contents, secondary links, and any and all visible or invisible contents. TROLLGAMES shall not be liable for the contents of those websites, nor does TROLLGAMES utilize those websites and contents. TROLLGAMES does not check this linked information. TROLLGAMES does not know of any legal violations by third party contents. If TROLLGAMES is notified accordingly, it will immediately delete the link.


§ 10 Contract Duration, Termination



  1. The Contracts between User and TROLLGAMES for the use of the basic version of the Game world are concluded for an unlimited time, unless stated otherwise in a specific offer by TROLLGAMES.

  2. If there was no agreement to a term limit in the Game Use Contract, TROLLGAMES may terminate this the Game Use Contract at any time by sending a 4-week termination notice. The User may terminate this Contract at any time without notice (right to terminate for convenience). If the user expressly cancels the Account, it is construed as termination of the Game Use Contract for this Account.

  3. No special reasons have to be stated in a standard notice of termination.

  4. The right of both Parties to a termination of the Game Use Contract or Contract of Using Features for significant reason at any time remains unaffected by the aforementioned provisions.

  5. If TROLLGAMES terminates the Game Use Contract or Features’ Use Contract without notice, the User will be reimbursed for any fees paid in advance and beyond the termination period (specifically for premium features) pro rata. The Use has no right to additional claims, unless otherwise agreed upon in these General Terms and Conditions. In case of a standard termination notice by either party and if the User is terminated without notice by TROLLGAMES due to the User’s fault, any fees paid are forfeited (specifically those for premium features) with the effectiveness of the termination.

  6. TROLLGAMES is specifically, but not exclusively entitled to terminate the contract for a significant reason, if the User is in arrears with payments in the minimum amount of 15 Euros and does not pay despite two reminder notices, if the User violates the Game rules and does not stop the violation despite warning letter. A warning letter can be waived, especially in circumstances, which justify an immediate termination of contract without prior warning letter, if the User has not utilized the User’s Account for four weeks and continued not using it despite a warning notification.

  7. In case of any termination for significant reason, TROLLGAMES is entitled to ask for an amount equal to 50% (fifty percent) of the sum of all charges that the User would have had to pay during the period of a standard notice of termination (specifically for premium features ordered by the User). The User’s right to proof that there was no damage or the damage was significantly lower remains unaffected.

  8. If a Game world does not have the possibility of cancellation (delete feature), the termination must be done in writing. Any e-mail is construed as having kept the written form. Any termination without notice must be done in writing stating the reason(s).

  6. TROLLGAMES is entitled to transfer User information for payment processing, which is necessary to determine fees and invoicing to the external service providers commissioned with billing. TROLLGAMES will inform User about the name of those third parties.

  7. For technical reasons, participation in the Game is not possible without storing User information. If a Player wishes to have the User information completely deleted, the Account is automatically terminated.
