All purchases made through your Master Account and through Sub Accounts associated with your Account must be made through a PSN wallet set up for your Master Account. A Sub Account does not have its own separate wallet. Master Accounts can set a maximum spending amount for each Sub Account, effective at the beginning of the following month. A Master Account holder can fund the PSN wallet up to a maximum amount determined by SIEH ("Limit"), using either (i) a credit or debit card; (ii) a pre-paid card where available; or (iii) other payment methods as approved by SIEH from time to time. SIEH HAS NO OBLIGATION TO REVERSE OR REDUND UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES MADE USING ANY AVAILABLE PAYMENT METHOD. SIEH reserves the right to refuse the purchase of any wallet funds for any reason. Except as otherwise permitted by applicable law or as expressly provided in this Agreement, funds added to the wallet are non-transferable. Wallet funds have no value outside PSN and can only be used to purchase content or services from SIEH. PSN wallet funds that are deemed abandoned or unused by applicable law will not be returned or restored. Funds added to the wallet are non-refundable, except as otherwise permitted by applicable law. A request for refund of PSN Wallet Funds may be made in writing to SIEH at Suite 01-07, Level 16, Office Tower, Langham Place, 8 Argyle Street, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. An administration fee will be charged for any refund application made and processed by SIEH.

Any refunds will be made by crediting your credit / debit card.
For users with Taiwan as country / area of residence

To obtain the receipt by post, please contact SIEH customer services at 0809 079 888 (TAIWAN), within 5 days from the date of PSN wallet top up, to confirm postal address and receipt content.

6. PREPAID CARDS
Each Master Account and its associated Sub Accounts will be subject to the Limit. If you acquire or purchase a prepaid card that has a value that, when added to the wallet's existing balance, exceeds the Limit, you will not be able to apply the value of the prepaid card to the wallet until sufficient funds have been spent from the wallet to allow the sum of the full value of the prepaid card and wallet to be equal to or less than the Limit. Prepaid cards may be sold by authorized distributors or retailers and are the sole responsibility of authorized distributors and retailers. SIEH is not responsible for, or liable for any claims arising as a result of, any problems encountered using a prepaid card or for any defects in a prepaid card. Please contact the distributor or retailer from whom you purchased your prepaid card if you have any problems with your card.

By completing a transaction through your master account or allowing a transaction to take place through an associated Sub Account, you are (i) agreeing to pay for all purchases including recurring charges for subscriptions that are not cancelled; (ii) authorizing SIEH to deduct from the wallet and charge your credit card or other applicable payment instrument or payment mechanism all applicable fees due and payable for all purchases made by the Master Account and its associated Sub Accounts; (iii) agreeing to the current prevailing terms of this Agreement, as made available at http://www.scei.co.jp/legal/; and (iv) agreeing to any applicable Service Agreement and the terms of service associated with the particular content or services, subject to paragraph 4 above. All sales are final upon the completion of your purchase, including purchase of subscriptions and other prepaid products or services. Purchased content or services are not refundable or transferable, and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit. SIEH reserves the right to deduct from the wallet any amount and associated fees resulting from any request by a Master Account holder to the Master Account holder's credit card company or other payment processor to reverse the charges for a purchase made on or through the PSN. SIEH also reserves the right to terminate the Master Account and all Sub Accounts associated with the Master Account in these circumstances. In lieu of termination of the Master Account in such circumstances, SIEH may elect to provide a mechanism by which a Master Account may fund the wallet to prevent the Master Account and its associated Sub Accounts from being terminated. All transactions are made in the currency of your country / area of residence. Features, specifications, prices, services and content are subject to change or withdrawal at any time and SIEH does not provide any refunds in the event of a price drop, a subsequent promotional offering or product removal. Special product, prices and promotions are no longer valid once they are changed or removed. All sales are subject to the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of China.
You can make purchases only from a designated SIE regional company which is determined by your country / area of residence. Your country / area of residence may be verified by your credit or debit card number and may be rejected if the information does not match. If you are a Master Account holder, you will receive an email summary for each purchase after it is made, provided that you have given us a valid, current, operational email address. Please print and retain these emails for your records. You can view your purchase history in the PSN Account Management area.
Although SIEH will try to ensure that all prices are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of items you have ordered, we will contact you promptly. You will have the option of either reconfirming your order at the correct price or canceling it. If we are unable to contact you, your order will be cancelled and the purchase price will be refunded to your wallet.
If you do not have sufficient funds in your wallet to make a purchase and you have previously entered your credit card information or another payment instrument or payment mechanism, we may automatically charge your credit card or the other applicable payment instrument or payment mechanism a minimum amount determined by SIEH (HKD50 if you are a Hong Kong resident, or IDR50,000 if you are an Indonesia resident, or MYR15 if you are a Malaysia resident, or SGD10 if you are a Singapore resident, or TWD150 if you are a Taiwan resident, or THB300 if you are a Thailand resident, or RMB50 if you are a Mainland China resident) ("Minimum Fee") to make the purchase, even if the Minimum Fee exceeds the cost of your purchase. Any difference between the Minimum Fee and the cost of the purchase will be credited to your wallet. Additional procedures apply to subscription purchases.

9. GENERAL LICENSE RESTRICTIONS AND TERMS
All content and software provided through PSN are licensed non-exclusively and revocably to you and holders of your associated Sub Accounts (collectively for purposes of this section, “You” or “Your”), solely for Your personal, non-commercial use on the PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, PSP®, PlayStation®Vita and any other hardware devices authorized by Sony or SIE companies, subject to the terms of this Agreement. All intellectual property rights in the content and software, including content displayed, provided by or through PSN, and hardware used in connection with PSN (collectively defined as “Property”), belong to SIEH and its licensors and all use and/or access to such Property shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and all applicable copyright and intellectual property laws. You must not sell, transfer, rent, sublicense, modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Property. You must not create any derivative works, attempt to create the source code from the object code, or download content or software for any purpose other than game play or other SIEH authorized use. Property is not licensed for resale or for public performance. Except as expressly granted in this Agreement, SIEH and its licensors reserve all rights, interests, and remedies in connection with PSN and/or the Property.
Additional terms of service and use may apply to particular content or services. Use may be restricted depending on the content or service. Please read carefully all specific terms of service and use for particular content or service before purchasing. The restrictions to which particular content or service is subject are in the sole discretion of SIEH or its licensors and are subject to change at any time. Use of the terms “purchase,” “sale,” “sell” or “buy” on PSN or in connection with PSN shall not mean or imply any transfer of ownership of any content, data or software or any intellectual property rights therein from SIE companies or its licensors to any user or third party. All other company, product, and service names appearing on PSN are trade names, trade marks, or registered trade marks of their respective owners.
10. SUBSCRIPTIONS
SIEH may offer you the opportunity to purchase, order or download subscriptions that provide access to particular products or services for a specified period of time. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel the subscription. The cost of each subscription will automatically be deducted from your wallet at the beginning of each subscription term without further notice to you. Subscriptions are available to Master Accounts and may be available to Sub Accounts for purchase, order or download, provided that the Master Account accepts the terms and conditions of the subscription for an associated Sub Account. Subscriptions may not be shared among any Accounts, including the Master Account with its associated Sub Accounts.
Some subscriptions may be single-product- or service-specific, while other subscriptions may be comprised of several content items, services or features, which may include special offers, discounted, free, paid-for, exclusive or early access content or automatic download of SIEH selected content. Individual content items and service within a composite subscription may also be offered for sale separately as a one-time purchase or single-product-specific subscription. Subscription charges may be increased at the end of each subscription term. As each product offering will have terms and conditions that vary, please review each product description, cost and subscription term carefully before purchase or download. As with all purchases, please print and retain a copy of your email purchase receipt for your reference.
SIEH may also offer a free trial period with some subscriptions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the free trial offer, if you do not cancel your subscription before expiration of a trial period, your wallet may automatically be charged the cost of the subscription at the beginning of each subscription term without further notice to you. To avoid being charged, you must cancel your subscription prior to expiration. Please review all terms and conditions carefully before you accept any offer or promotion.
If you do not have sufficient funds in your wallet to cover the cost of your subscription at the time the subscription is renewed, the subscription will be cancelled unless the automatic funding feature on the Master Account is set to “ON.” If the automatic funding feature on the Master Account is set to “ON,” your credit card or other applicable payment instrument or mechanism will be charged automatically the greater of the subscription cost or the Minimum Fee. Every time you or one of your associated Sub Accounts purchases a new subscription, the automatic funding feature in the Master Account is set automatically to “ON.” The Master Account holder may change this setting to “OFF” at any time. However, the setting will return to “ON” upon subsequent purchase of any subscription, so setting your automatic funding feature to “OFF” may not effectively cancel your subscription. In order to stop receiving a subscription and avoid being charged, you must cancel your subscription in the PSN Account Management area.
If you no longer wish to receive your subscription, you must cancel your subscriptions via PSN account management. Cancellation will take effect at the beginning of the next subscription term. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, upon cancellation of your subscription or termination of the Master Account or Sub Account, you will not receive a refund or credit for any subscriptions for which you have paid. Further, you will not be able to access content or services provided in your subscription except as permitted by SIEH. Content which you downloaded onto a device and which was provided to you through a subscription at no additional cost beyond the subscription price may not be accessible. Game play information, including trophies earned during a trial offer, promotional period or subscription term may not be available.
11. MAINTENANCE

Some content or services may be provided automatically without notice when you sign into PSN. Without limitation, such content or services may include automatic updates or upgrades which may change your current operating system, cause a loss of data or content or cause a loss of functionalities or utilities.

Upon termination for any reason, you will not receive a refund for purchased items (including subscriptions and pre-paid products or services), value accumulated on in-game items or any unused balance in your wallet except as expressly provided in this Agreement. Any ranking or scores, or game related information will not be retained or accessible by you or your associated Sub Accounts. SIEH reserves the right to bring legal action and to participate in any government or private legal action or investigation relating to your conduct, which may require the disclosure of your personal information (or the personal information of your associated Sub Account holders), to which you hereby give your consent. Unless as otherwise stated in this Agreement, SIEH, at its sole discretion, may indefinitely suspend, or discontinue any and all online services and content at any time, including for maintenance service or upgrades, without prior notice or liability.
