2.3 There may also be times when our Products or any part of a Product is not available for technical or maintenance related reasons, whether on a scheduled or unscheduled basis.
3 Virtual Goods and Virtual Money
3.1 Our Products may include virtual currencies such as tickets, coins, gold coins and points (“ Virtual Money”) or items or services for use with our Products (“ Virtual Goods”). You can buy Virtual Money from us for real money if you are at least 18 years old. If you are over 18 years old you may also be able to buy Virtual Goods for real money and/or other credits.
