If the account balance is less than €10.00, the account cannot have a negative balance. In this case, the fee corresponds to the inactive account balance.
Inactivity is defined to include any of the following (i) the failure to log into your account and conduct financial transactions (including deposits, withdrawals, purchases, or transfers), and/or (ii) the failure to switch to the payment processor of the Marketplace, and/or (iii) the suspension of your account for any reason specified in our Terms and Conditions (such as failure to provide required Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation or other information).
For User Accounts that have been inactive for a continuous period of 365 days or more and for which user contact information is missing or outdated, we reserve the right to apply the inactivity fee as outlined above. While we will make reasonable efforts to contact users, it is the user's responsibility to maintain updated contact details.
If there are in-game items in your inactive account and the user balance is insufficient to cover the inactivity fee, we reserve the right to sell those items on your behalf to recover the inactive fee. Any proceeds from such a sale, after deducting the applicable inactivity fee, will be returned to your User Account balance. However, this transaction does not constitute account activity and will not result in the reactivation of your account. The inactivity fee will continue to apply until your account is reactivated by logging in or performing any of the other defined activities.
Prior to applying the inactivity fee, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance, providing an opportunity to rectify the reason your account was deemed inactive and take necessary actions to activate your account and avoid the charge. This inactivity fee is intended to cover the administrative costs of maintaining your account and providing certain services while inactive, such as continued access to your User Account, customer support, and payment processing services for balance withdrawals. The inactivity fee will continue to be charged until there is activity in your User Account (i.e., completion of transactions, withdrawal or deposit of funds), or your User Account balance reaches zero.
