Europe Terms of Sale

LAST REVISED: January 01, 2022

 

YOU MUST BE AND HEREBY AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT OF THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY IN YOUR COUNTRY AND STATE OF RESIDENCE. IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE OF MAJORITY, YOUR PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN MUST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

You should carefully read and understand these Terms of Sale (‘Terms of Sale’) which regulate the purchases of digital content, including any purchases made through Battle.net® or the Battle.net® Shop such as a game, either downloadable or not, and/or other software which are not supplied on a tangible form , game subscriptions, digital in-game items, funds to be uploaded as Battle.net Balance (altogether ‘Digital Content’, and/or services ‘Services’). Physical products are currently not being offered for sale on this Platform.

 

The use of Blizzard’s Platform as defined in the Blizzard End User Licence Agreement generally, including any digital goods or services purchased from Blizzard, is governed by Blizzard’s End User Licence Agreement, which should be read in tandem to the Terms of Sale.

 

These Terms of Sale do not govern purchases from the Blizzard Gear Store (the ‘Blizzard Gear Store’) located at here, which are governed by a separate set of policies and terms of service, which may be reviewed directly on the Blizzard Gear Store site.

 

    Your order.

By placing an order, you represent that you are an authorised user of the payment method used.

If you reside within Europe, Middle East, or Africa, by placing an order for other Digital Content or Services, you submit a binding offer to purchase the relevant Digital Content or Service from Activision Blizzard UK Limited, having its registered office at The Ampersand Building, 178 Wardour Street, London, W1F 8FY, United Kingdom (hereinafter referred to as ‘Blizzard’, ‘we’ or ‘us’).

Your order is accepted, and a contract concluded once we have sent a confirmation email to the email address on file in your Battle.net account. The use of Digital Content or a Service is also governed by the Battle.net End User Licence Agreement, any other Licensor’s end-user licence agreements and/or any other terms of use and/or terms of services presented to you during the ordering process.

You hereby expressly consent that the Supply of Digital Content and/or the performance of our Services begin immediately after we have enabled access to the Digital Content and/or Services which can be either right after purchase or, in the case of pre-orders and/or pre-purchases, when such Digital Content and/or Services are made available (‘Performance of the Contract’).

 

    Subscriptions.

The duration of a game subscription will depend on the subscription period you have chosen. To avoid any interruption of the use of the Digital Content, your subscription is set to renew automatically, for the same subscription period that you have chosen. You may cancel your subscription at any time by clicking the ‘cancel account’ button on the first page of your account management page in your Battle.net Account before the current subscription period expires. However, you will be able to use the Digital Content until the current subscription period ends. Please note there are no refunds if you decide to terminate your subscription early as the Digital Content will be available for your use until the subscription period ends. Blizzard reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the amount of the subscription fees. In such an event, Blizzard will send you an email notification at least thirty (30) days before the price modifications are made. With the notification, we will remind you that your continued use after the end of your current subscription period means that you accept the new subscription fees. However, the new price will only be applicable to you from the date of your automatic subscription renewal. If you disagree with those price modifications, you may cancel your subscription by clicking the ‘cancel account’ button on the first page of your account management page in your Battle.net Account before the subscription period with the modified price starts. Your cancellation has to be made before the price changes come into force, otherwise you will be deemed to have accepted those modifications.

 

    Prices and payment.

Depending on your country of residence and the specific item(s) you are purchasing, you may be able to choose from several different currencies to purchase goods from Blizzard. Prices include any applicable value-added tax. Digital Content and Services are sold to you on a pre-payment basis. Payment is due immediately with the order and in case of an automatic renewal of a subscription at the beginning of the new subscription period. Different payment methods indicated during the ordering process, such as credit card, direct debit or Battle.net Balance, may be available to you. For the use of any third-party payment and billing provider, such as PayPal, that provider’s additional terms and costs may apply. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using your Account. If you choose a recurring subscription for a Game, you acknowledge that payments will be processed automatically (e.g. debited from your Blizzard Balance or charged to your credit card) until you cancel the subscription or the Account. Blizzard may revise the pricing for the goods and services offered through the Platform at any time with a reasonable prior notice.
