6.purchase and payment
External Services[TP3] : Vireo Development may offer products and services through authorized external services, like Steam or the PlayStation™Store (each an “External Service,” with each purchase made there an “External Service Purchase”).

This provision on Virtual Items commences immediately upon the acceptance of your purchase of any such Virtual Items.
Virtual Items represent a limited license right governed by this Agreement, and, except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, no title or ownership, property or otherwise, in or to Virtual Items is being transferred or assigned to you.

Refunds on External Services: If you made a purchase on an External Service, whether for an Application of ours or for its respective Virtual Items, you must cancel through the External Service, as we do not handle potential refunds for purchases made on External Services.
Chargebacks: If you initiate a chargeback or otherwise reverse a payment made with your External Service Account or payment method, we have the right to cancel your access to our Services on the basis that you have determined that you do not want to use our respective Service.
7.Limited License to Broadcast GamePlay[TP5]

In furtherance of your exercise of the foregoing limited license, you may assume that other users who participate in gameplay with you have given you nonexclusive performance rights for their parts in your Broadcasted Content, unless or until you have notice that he, she, or they opts out in accordance with the provisions outlined below.
