As such, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) you do not own any in-game currencies or items; and (ii) the in-game currencies or items you acquire have no real-world monetary value and accordingly cannot be sold or exchanged for any real-world assets, such as products, services or money. In-game currencies and items are however tradeable to other players within the Game itself, using the features within the Game that allow you to do so.
