By accessing or using the Service, you affirm that you have read, understood, and accepted to be bound by the Terms. NS reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or revise these Terms at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. If you do not agree to the Terms, please do not use the Service.
Users are responsible for periodically reviewing the Terms. Your continued use of the Service after changes or updates have been made will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, your only recourse is to discontinue your use of the Service and cancel any accounts you have created using the Service.
If you violate the Terms, NS reserves the right to issue a warning regarding the violation or to immediately terminate or suspend any or all accounts you have created using the Service. You agree that NS is not obligated to provide you with notice before terminating or suspending your account(s), but it may choose to do so.

Virtual Currencies/Goods
NS’s Service may provide you with the opportunity to purchase virtual, in-game currency (“Virtual Currency”), which requires the payment of real money. This Virtual Currency cannot be exchanged for real-world money, goods, or any other item of monetary value from NS or any third party.
Purchases of Virtual Currency are final, non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-transferable, except at NS’s sole discretion. Any attempts to buy, sell, or exchange Virtual Currency outside the Service or via platforms not designated by NS violate the Terms and may lead to the termination of your account or legal consequences.
NS reserves the right to modify, control, or remove the type, nature, or value of Virtual goods at its sole discretion. Prices and availability of virtual goods within the game may change without prior notice.
To offer more flexible payment options, NS may provide access to a variety of payment channels, including third-party platforms. These payment channels may be altered at NS’s discretion over time.
All personal information, including account details and top-up records, will be securely managed within the Service. Please ensure that you use the Service in a secure environment to avoid potential losses.
