This means that only you can use your Virtual Items and you cannot permit anyone else to use them whether via your Platform Account or otherwise. You cannot trade your Virtual Items in any way whether by selling them for real money to other players, exchanging them for other items or dealing or disposing of them in any other way (with the exception of any in-Game Virtual Item auction function that MAG may elect to offer);

  1. MAG reserves the right to void any such obvious error or mistake however it arises or results including, for example, errors or mistakes due to human error or technical fault resulting in, for example, a virtual currency being mispriced giving you an opportunity to profiteer from such a mispricing. You will forfeit any Virtual Items you obtain as a result of such an error or mistake; and
