Accordingly, you may not sublicense, trade, sell or attempt to sell in-game Virtual Items for “real” money, or exchange Virtual Items for value of any kind outside of a game, without Playlithium Interactive, LLC’s written permission. Any such transfer or attempted transfer is prohibited and void, and will subject your Account to termination.

Playlithium Interactive, LLC keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries.
