3. When this Agreement Begins

4. Purchase of the Mobile Game

4.1. Emoji Games provides the Services, enabling you to order and unlock a Mobile Game.

4.2. By submitting your Order, you are placing an order for the purchase of a license to use the Full Version Game, at the price of 11,07 PLN.

  • (a) Where the Licence Fee is charged to a mobile phone bill, and you place the Order in a jurisdiction where the charge to the mobile phone bill occurs when we send a confirmation premium rate text message with the Unlocking Code to the mobile handset from which the Order was placed ("Confirmation SMS"), you complete your purchase when we send the Confirmation SMS.
