You have elected to purchase "Pixie Diamonds" (the "Service") for use in the Pixie Hollow virtual world (the "Game").
PLEASE READ THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE DISNEY TERMS OF USE, AND THE DISNEY HOUSE RULES CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS SERVICE.
This Service is owned and operated by Disney Online (referred to as "Disney," "we," "us," or "our" herein).
Please note that the person who purchases the service by credit card or other payment option will be referred to from time to time as "PURCHASER" in this Agreement. The person who receives the Service for their Pixie Hollow registered account (whether free or trial account or pursuant to the Pixie Hollow Membership Agreement, each referred to below as "Account"), will be referred to as the "ACCOUNT HOLDER" in this Agreement, and may not necessarily be the PURCHASER.
The terms of this PURCHASE AGREEMENT apply to both PURCHASER and ACCOUNT HOLDER.. The PURCHASER is responsible for making each ACCOUNT HOLDER for whom they purchase the Service (and anyone else allowed to access to Accounts) aware of the terms of this PURCHASE AGREEMENT and for ensuring compliance. The ACCOUNT HOLDER for an Account is entirely liable for all activities conducted through that registered Pixie Hollow Account.
By purchasing and using this Service, PURCHASER and ACCOUNT HOLDER agree to this PURCHASE AGREEMENT, the Disney Terms of Use - http://disney.go.com/legal/conditions_of_use.html, and the Disney House Rules - http://disney.go.com/guestservices/houserules (collectively, the "Agreement"). If you as ACCOUNT HOLDER and/or PURCHASER do not agree to each of these documents in their entirety, please do not purchase and/or use the Service.
PURCHASER and ACCOUNT HOLDER will be collectively referred to as "User" or "you" or "your" in the remainder of this PURCHASE AGREEMENT.
We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove (collectively, "Change" or the "Changes") portions of this Agreement (including the Terms of Use and House Rules) at any time, and Changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Agreement at the domain or subdomain where the prior version was posted. It is the User�s responsibility to review these terms, the Terms of Use, and the House Rules for any Changes. Although notification of Changes to this Agreement may from time to time be posted on Pixie Hollow�s web sites or in proximity to the Game, or sent via e-mail or postal mail, such notification does not waive or otherwise excuse User�s affirmative obligation to review the Agreement for Changes, and to understand and agree to the most up-to-date terms of the Service. We suggest that you review the terms of this PURCHASE AGREEMENT, the Terms of Use, and the House Rules for Changes each time prior to using the Service.
If any future Changes to this Agreement are unacceptable to you, or cause you to no longer be in compliance with this Agreement, you must see that the Account for which the purchase was made is terminated. Continued use of the Service following Changes to this Agreement (including the Terms of Use and House Rules) will signify that the User accepts those Changes.
We may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, including, without limitation, (a) the availability of any Service feature, database or content, hours of availability, or equipment needed to access the Service, and (b) pricing for the Service. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Service for extended periods of time, without notice or liability. We reserve the right to interrupt the Service with or without prior notice for any reason or no reason, and you shall not be entitled to any refunds of fees for interruption or discontinuation of the Service or its otherwise failure to perform. We cannot guarantee that this Service or any data stored or transmitted in connection with it will be uninterrupted, error-free, and secure of viruses and other malware.
We are not an Internet provider and do not provide Internet access, and you are responsible for all fees associated with your Internet connection. You are likewise solely responsible for and must provide all telephone, computer and other equipment necessary to access the Service, including without limitation Internet access software and modems. We do not guarantee that the Service will operate on any specific equipment or any particular operating system, and we are not responsible for any damage, either temporary or permanent, to equipment or software in connection with using the Service.

PROVISION OF PROMOTIONAL TRIALS OR OTHER PREFERRED OR DISCOUNTED ACCESS TO SOME USERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FULL OR LIMITED ACCESS TO THE SERVICES OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE, OR OTHER SIMILAR SUBSCRIPTION PROMOTIONS) SHALL NOT OBLIGATE DISNEY TO PROVIDE SUCH PROMOTIONS, DISCOUNTS, OR PREFERRED ACCESS TO OTHER MEMBERS.
