1.6 Background Communication Features

In case your Nintendo Network ID is linked to a Nintendo Device and your Linked Nintendo Device is connected to the internet, your Linked Nintendo Device may perform automatic background communication with Nintendo servers and other Linked Nintendo Devices.

A system update of your linked Nintendo Device may be required to fully enjoy all features of Nintendo Network.

Background communication with other Linked Nintendo Devices may happen depending on the application you use. You will be informed about the background communication features in the respective application.

You can disable background communication features in the settings of your Linked Nintendo Device or in the settings of the respective application. You can also disable background communication features completely by disconnecting your Linked Nintendo Device from the internet.

1.9 Nintendo's Liability to You

If we fail to comply with these terms, Nintendo is liable for damages arising as a foreseeable result of our negligence or breach of this Agreement.

We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage are foreseeable if they were an obvious consequence of our breach or if they were contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this Agreement.

As the Nintendo Network is for your own personal recreational and non-commercial use, we are also not responsible for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of data or loss of business opportunity.

We do not in any way exclude or limit our liability for:

1.10 Indemnity

Subject to Article 1.9 of this Agreement, you agree to indemnify and hold Nintendo, its affiliates and subsidiaries harmless from and against any loss, liability or claim (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Nintendo Network in an unlawful manner or otherwise in breach of the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Nintendo Network Code of Conduct).

If you do not object to these changes within 4 weeks after they have been communicated to you, the changes will be deemed to be accepted (the notification will inform you accordingly). Should you object to the changes, Nintendo reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or any portion of it upon a reasonable notice and you will have to register again if you wish to continue using Nintendo Network under the new terms and conditions.

1.12 Termination and Transfer of the Agreement

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by deleting your Nintendo Network ID.

Nintendo may terminate this Agreement, or any part of this Agreement, at any time, without notice if you breach the terms of this Agreement. In case of minor breaches Nintendo will provide you with a prior warning of your non-compliance and give you an opportunity to remedy this. However, if your behaviour is utterly unacceptable, Nintendo is not required to provide you with such prior warning. Behaviour is considered utterly unacceptable in case of serious violations of the Nintendo Network Code of Conduct and other important provisions of this Agreement.

Nintendo may also terminate this Agreement, or any part of this Agreement, at any time, for legal, technical or commercial reasons. In this case, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice.

The termination of this Agreement for any reason will lead to the termination of any licences granted under the Agreement and will prevent your use of Nintendo Network, including, but not limited to Nintendo Shopping Services. The termination of a part of this Agreement may limit your use of selected applications and functionalities of Nintendo Network.

If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Articles 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.13 and 1.14 will remain in effect.

Nintendo may transfer in its sole discretion the entire contractual relation with you under this Agreement to its affiliated company Nintendo Co. Ltd., located at 11-1 Hokotate-cho, Kamitoba, Minami-ku, Kyoto, Japan. Nintendo will inform you of such transfer at least one month in advance.
