1.4. Third-Party Content / User-Generated Content

We are not responsible for any third-party content or User-Generated Content, or for any action you may take relating thereto (including but not limited to distributing, posting, or sending third-party content or User-Generated Content to others). All third-party content is the sole responsibility of the creator or sender of that third-party content and all User-Generated Content is your sole responsibility. Please note that we are not obligated to monitor, supervise, store or maintain third-party content or User-Generated Content. However, if Nintendo becomes aware of possibly unlawful or inappropriate User-Generated Content, Nintendo reserves the right to delete or to block access to such content at its own discretion, in particular, without limitation, by way of the User-Generated Content Restriction System.

If you post, send or otherwise make available User-Generated Content through any Nintendo 3DS Service you grant Nintendo a worldwide perpetual right to publish, use and/or to modify the User-Generated Content in any way and for any purpose. You acknowledge that the User-Generated Content may be reproduced, published and/or modified by third parties. This does not apply to User-Generated Content contained in any private messages or in any other private communication.

Please make sure that any User-Generated Content does not include personal information such as your name, your email address, your address or your telephone number. In particular, when choosing a user name or a nickname for your Mii characters, please make sure not to use your real name. Please keep in mind that other users are able to view your user name and the nickname of your Mii, e.g. when playing games online or when interacting with other users through the Nintendo 3DS Services.

Please ensure that the User-Generated Content you upload, post, send or otherwise make available through any Nintendo 3DS Service, does not infringe on the rights of others, such as copyrights, portrait rights, privacy rights, rights of publicity, trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights. If you post, send or otherwise make available photos, images or videos displaying other people, you must obtain their permission beforehand.

1.5. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Nintendo, its affiliates and subsidiaries harmless from and against any loss, liability or claim (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Nintendo 3DS Services, in particular with any User-Generated Content, including, without limitation, any photographs or any other material you upload, provided you act negligently or with intent.

1.6. Upgrades and Changes

Nintendo may from time to time upgrade (patch) any software distributed through the Nintendo 3DS Services for the benefit of the Nintendo 3DS Services users or to protect Nintendo’s Intellectual Property.

IMPORTANT: Your Nintendo 3DS System and software are not designed for use with any existing or future unauthorised technical modification of the hardware or software or the use of any unauthorised device in connection with your Nintendo 3DS System. After the Nintendo 3DS System or any software is updated, any existing or future unauthorised technical modification of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 3DS System, or the use of any unauthorised device in connection with your Nintendo 3DS System, may render your Nintendo 3DS System permanently unplayable. Content deriving from the unauthorised technical modification of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 3DS System may be removed.

Nintendo may also automatically update your Nintendo 3DS System for the purpose of ensuring the security and proper functioning of your Nintendo 3DS System, in particular when files created by unauthorised modifications have been installed, which can affect game play and may damage your console.

Nintendo may also update or change the specifications, or modify the Nintendo 3DS Services, in part or in whole, for the benefit of the Nintendo 3DS Services users.

1.7. Third Party Providers

Nintendo may allow third parties to provide services and/or material for the Nintendo 3DS Services, including Shopping Service Products.

Further to the licence set out in Article 1.3., we do not provide you with any right, title or interest in the Nintendo 3DS Services or the Nintendo Intellectual Property. Nintendo reserves all rights in the Nintendo 3DS Services and the Nintendo Intellectual Property.

The Nintendo 3DS System and the Nintendo 3DS Services enable users to access Network Content, User-Generated Content or any other content that may be inappropriate for minors. Nintendo provides the ability to limit access to certain features of the Nintendo 3DS System and the Nintendo 3DS Services through parental control functionality. If your Nintendo 3DS System is used by individuals other than yourself, in particular if it is used by minors, we strongly recommend that you make use of the parental control functionality to limit access to certain Nintendo 3DS Services and content that you deem unsuitable for minors.

1.11. Transfer, Expiration and Termination of Agreement

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by terminating your Shop Account as described under Article 2.1.6. below and formatting your Nintendo 3DS System in the settings of your Nintendo 3DS System. If you terminate this Agreement, you will automatically forfeit any rights to the funds (if any) credited to your Shop Account and you will not be entitled for a refund for any funds credited to your Shop Account. Termination of this Agreement will prevent your use of any Nintendo 3DS Services, including, but without limitation, of the Shopping Service.
Nintendo may transfer in its sole discretion the entire contractual relation with you to its affiliated company Nintendo Co., Ltd., located at 11-1 Kamitoba-Hokotate-cho, Minami-ku, Kyoto, 601-8501, Japan. Nintendo will inform you of such transfer one month in advance.
We may terminate this Agreement, or any portion of this Agreement, at any time, without notice if you breach the terms of this Agreement. In case of minor breaches of these terms Nintendo will provide you with a prior warning of your non-compliance prior to terminating this Agreement. If, however, your behaviour is utterly unacceptable, Nintendo is not required to provide you with such prior warning. A behaviour is considered utterly unacceptable in case of serious violations of important provisions of this Agreement. Important provisions include, but are not limited to, a violation of Article 1.9. of this Agreement. Such termination will terminate any licence granted in this Agreement and may prevent you from using the Nintendo 3DS Services, including, without limitation, the Shopping Service and the funds credited to your Shop Account.

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Articles 1.5., 1.8., 1.12., 1.15. and 1.16. will remain in effect.

1.12. Nintendo's Liability to You

Nintendo accepts liability only to the extent that it arises directly out of a breach by Nintendo of this Agreement and that such liability was reasonably foreseeable by Nintendo.
Nintendo will not be liable for any economic loss such as loss of income, loss of business, loss of profits, or any loss of data or corruption of data.
Nintendo accepts liability for (a) claims up 125% of the amount spent by you on Shopping Service Products during the 12 months prior to your claim, or (b) reasonable and foreseeable damages, whichever is the lower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement limits Nintendo’s liability for matters for which it cannot exclude or limit its liability.
Your statutory rights are not affected.

1.13. Changes to this Agreement

A current version of this Agreement will always be available on Nintendo's website. Nintendo may change the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time so far as this is necessary or helpful to enhance the service or to adapt it to reflect changes in technical or legal requirements. If we make changes, we will notify you by providing a special notice. If you do not object to these changes within 4 weeks after they have been notified to you, the changes will be deemed to be accepted (the special notice will inform you accordingly). If you object to the changes, Nintendo reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or any portion of it upon a reasonable notice and you will have to register again if you wish to continue using the Nintendo 3DS Services under the new terms and conditions.

1.14. Non-Assignability

You are responsible for the use of your Nintendo 3DS System and the Nintendo 3DS Services by your friends, your family or any other third party. You may not assign, transfer, sublicense or otherwise dispose of this Agreement to a third party. However, if a third party makes unauthorised use of your Nintendo 3DS System and/or makes unauthorised access of the Nintendo 3DS Services via your Nintendo 3DS System, you accept full responsibility for such use and/or access.

1.15. Agreement Interpretation

If any part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part of the Agreement will no longer apply.

2. Specific Applications and Communication Methods

Nintendo 3DS Services offer you a great variety of applications that allow your Nintendo 3DS System to communicate using wireless internet communication, Local Wireless and StreetPass.

This Article 2 describes the main applications and communication methods of the Nintendo 3DS System. Nintendo will inform you via the update of this Agreement about other new applications which require your knowledge and consent.

The Nintendo 3DS System allows you to disable all Nintendo 3DS Services by using the wireless switch of your Nintendo 3DS System.

2.1. Shopping Service

2.1.1. Shop Account

The Shopping Service may not be available in your country. Subject to the availability of the Shopping Service in your country, you can open a Shop Account on your Nintendo 3DS System. Only one Shop Account can be opened for each Nintendo 3DS System. A Shop Account is personal to you and is tied to your Nintendo 3DS System. Your Shop Account and any Shopping Service Products associated with your Shop Account may not be sold or otherwise transferred to another person or to another Nintendo 3DS System owned by you or by a third party. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Nintendo may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer certain Shopping Service Products from your Nintendo 3DS System to another Nintendo 3DS System you own (see below Article 2.8.).

You are responsible for monitoring your Shop Account and for setting up appropriate Parental Controls or other measures to limit the access to your Shop Account.

2.1.2. Purchasing Shopping Service Products

The Shopping Service allows you to use funds transferred to your Shop Account to purchase Shopping Service Products. Funds are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash or credit. Funds can only be used to purchase Shopping Service Products via the Shopping Service. Nintendo may, in its sole discretion, restrict the maximum amount of funds that you can transfer to your Shop Account.

Funds are for your own personal use and are tied to your Shop Account. Once funds are credited to your Shop Account, you may not withdraw or transfer them to another person or platform (e.g. to another Nintendo platform, such as the Wii console or the Nintendo DSi system) or use them to purchase content on any other Nintendo platform. In addition, you may not transfer funds of your Shop Account to any other Shop Account not owned by yourself. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, Nintendo may, in its sole discretion, allow you to transfer funds credited to a Shop Account on your Nintendo 3DS System to another Nintendo 3DS System you own (see below Article 2.8.).

You are responsible for your use of the funds for your Shop Account, and for anyone else’s use of those funds.

2.1.3. Transferring Funds to your Shop Account

There are two ways to transfer funds to your Shop Account: By credit card or by purchasing a Funding Card at a retailer:

You can use your credit card to transfer funds for your Shop Account online via the Nintendo 3DS System. Funds transferred to your Shop Account by using a credit card will be immediately credited to your Shop Account.
You can also buy a Funding Card at a retailer. To transfer the funds stored on the Funding Card to your Shop Account you have to enter the number printed on the Funding Card when requested.

You can check the funds credited to your Shop Account at any time in your account history. Funds are displayed in the currency corresponding to the country settings you have chosen for the Nintendo 3DS System. Please note that if you change your country settings to a country with a different currency (e.g. if you change your country settings from Germany to United Kingdom) the funds credited to your Shop Account with regard to the former country settings are blocked and you are not able to use any funds credited under the former country settings under the changed country settings. If you change your new country settings back to your former country settings, you will be able to use the funds.

2.1.4. Credit Card Charges and Account History

Each time you deposit funds into your Shop Account online with your credit card, you will receive a receipt confirming your transaction. This receipt will be posted in your account history. When you use the funds to purchase Shopping Service Products, the transaction will also be reflected in your account history. You may obtain your account history through your Shop Account.

2.1.5. Downloading of Shopping Service Products from the Shopping Service

Upon ordering a certain item of Shopping Service Products, the sums required to download that Shopping Service Products will be charged to your Shop Account. Once you have completed the order procedure for a downloadable Shopping Service Product, you cannot cancel that transaction and the Shopping Service Product is made available to you on your Nintendo 3DS System. If you do not have sufficient funds to complete a transaction, Nintendo will not accept any orders placed by you.

By placing an order through the Shopping Service using your Shop Account or by allowing another person to place such order you (i) authorise Nintendo to deduct the price of any Shopping Service Product from your Shop Account and (ii) agree to these terms and conditions.

The prices indicated for any Shopping Service Products available in the Shopping Service will be in the currency corresponding to the country settings you have chosen for the Nintendo 3DS System and shall include all applicable taxes.

2.1.6. Termination of your Shop Account

You may terminate your Shop Account by removing your Shop Account from the Nintendo 3DS System in the settings of the Shop Account. If you terminate your Shop Account you will automatically forfeit any rights to any unused funds credited to your Shop Account, which become the property of Nintendo, and will not be entitled to a refund for any unused funds.

Notwithstanding Article 1.11. of this Agreement, if there is any fraudulent or unlawful activity concerning the funds credited to your Shop Account or the use of the funds credited to your Shop Account, by any person, we may terminate, suspend or otherwise limit your access to the Nintendo 3DS Services, or any portion of the Nintendo 3DS Services, upon which your right to use the Shopping Service, including your funds credited to your Shop Account, will immediately cease. In such a case you will not be entitled for a refund for any unused funds credited to your Shop Account.

2.1.7. Changes to the Shopping Service

Nintendo may modify the Shopping Service (in particular if this is necessary or helpful to enhance the Shopping Service or to adapt it to reflect changes in technical or legal requirements), terminate the Shopping Service, and/or cease to provide any or all of the Shopping Service Products offered on the Shopping Service. If we terminate the Shopping Service, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice.

SpotPass may send to your Nintendo 3DS System certain Network Content, such as

(i) system updates;

(iv) free applications, like free games, unless you opt-out of this content in the system settings.

IMPORTANT: Please be aware that SpotPass uses an internet connection and automatically connects to the internet without notifying you of such connection. Such connection automatically takes place in Active Mode or in Sleep Mode. Any internet connection may incur costs, the exact amount of which depends on whether you have a flat rate with your internet access provider or on whether you get charged by your internet access provider per minute or megabyte. To avoid that any costs incur, you have to disable all wireless communications by using the wireless switch of your Nintendo 3DS.

You may also choose to receive commercial information via SpotPass, including marketing and advertising messages about Nintendo or third-party products and marketing and commercial applications, including demo versions of games, trailers, etc. You will only receive such commercial information if you opted-in to receive such information.

2.3. StreetPass

StreetPass allows your Nintendo 3DS System to arbitrarily select another Nintendo 3DS System or a Relay Point for StreetPass and to send to, receive from and exchange Network Content and User-Generated Content with another Nintendo 3DS System or Relay Point for StreetPass automatically without your operation and with no special notification to you. This information may among others include information attached to your Mii.

By using StreetPass, no connection fees or charges incur.

Communication via StreetPass may take place when your Nintendo 3DS System is in Active or Sleep Mode. In general, as StreetPass is switched off by default, StreetPass will only take place if you choose the respective settings for StreetPass.

Please note that even if you choose not to opt in to StreetPass, your Nintendo 3DS System may transfer, transmit or in any other way forward Network Content or User-Generated Content received from other Nintendo 3DS Systems or from a Relay Point for StreetPass to any other Nintendo 3DS System of other users or to a Relay Point for StreetPass. In this case, only the Network Content and User-Generated Content of other users will be transferred via your Nintendo 3DS System; no data stored on your Nintendo 3DS System concerning you or any other player of your Nintendo 3DS System will be transmitted or sent.

2.4. Friends Functionality

In connection with the friend functionality, your Nintendo 3DS System provides for an “Address Book” and a “Friend Presence Feature”. The “Address Book” is a special application allowing you to enter friend codes or to send friend cards to establish a friendship with another user of a Nintendo 3DS System, to check whether your Friends are online and to interact with your Friends, including, without limitation, to exchange messages and other information with your Friends. The “Friend Presence Feature” allows all your Friends to see your online status, presence information and your play history data (such as information on when your are online, name and icon of favourite application, name and icon of application currently played, current level, current in-game location, playing time, recent logout time, time of updating comments shared with your Friends, etc.) as well as data related to your Personal Mii and you will be able to see the online status, presence information and the play history data of your Friends.

If you do not want your Friends to see your online status, presence information and the play history, you can disable this feature.

2.5. Applications Using Mii Characters

You can send Mii characters to other Nintendo 3DS Systems and can receive Mii characters from other Nintendo 3DS Systems in various Mii-compatible games and applications. When you allow your Mii to “travel” to another Nintendo 3DS System, the Mii is sent to the user of the other Nintendo 3DS System.
