- After you have submitted your Order GMGL will send you an e-mail to confirm that it has received it. This email confirmation will be produced automatically so that you have confirmation of your Order details. The fact that you receive an automatic confirmation does not mean GMGL has accepted your Order or that it will be able to meet your Order.
- Where you have incorrectly submitted an Order, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible at [email protected].
If the payment confirmation for a purchase is delayed (ie payments with Boacompra, Unionpay, Alipay) the order will be fulfilled with a version of the game as advertised at the point of payment confirmation.
- Once GMGL has sent the confirmation email GMGL will (if the Product is available) either: (i) make the Game available (either for download by you or otherwise); (ii) credit your user account or the user account specified by you with the value of a Gift Card; or (iii) send, or make available for you to send, the relevant Gift Card to the individual of your choosing, electronically or otherwise as described to you when placing your Order (please note that the ultimate recipient of a Gift Card will need to register for an account with GMGL in order to redeem it); and a binding contract will exist between you and us in respect of your Order once any of the foregoing events occur.
- If GMGL are unable to supply you with a Product for any reason we will inform you of this by email or otherwise through the Service, and we will not process your Order.

- If GMGL discovers an error that affects you, GMGL will notify you as soon as possible.
