The type and mode of use, particularly by means of mobile devices and/or other hardware or software, will not affect the validity of the GT&C.

Such changes will be visible to the Player via the App. Funstage does not guarantee the availability of the same virtual currencies in Diamond Cash Slots for a certain period of time. The Player shall not be entitled to any compensation should the virtual goods and/or virtual currencies he/she uses be withdrawn or offered under different conditions, regardless of whether said virtual goods and/or virtual currencies are offered on a temporary or permanent basis.

5. Payment for virtual goods and virtual currencies with real money can be made via different payment methods found in the Diamond Cash Slots App (payment methods available in the Diamond Cash Slots App shop).

All figures in any currency other than the euro shall be calculated by applying the current exchange rate of the European Central Bank. Any additional fees associated with the payment method selected by the Player are to be borne exclusively by the Player, and Funstage is not responsible for any said charges associated with such third-party fees.

8. Virtual goods and currencies shall be considered paid for as soon as the account of Funstage has been irrevocably credited with the corresponding amount.
