These real world terms, however, are only being used as shorthand. You do not in fact "own" the Virtual Items, and the amounts of any Virtual Item do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, Caster grants You a limited license to use the Service, including software programs that include the use of these Virtual Items.

7.2. A purchase of Virtual Items is complete only when you receive confirmation through the Service that You have redeemed iTunes or Google Play Store Wallet credits, or other third party currency accepted by the Service. Any virtual currency balance shown in Your Caster Account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of Your license to use the Virtual Items within the Service. You will not be able to sell Virtual Items in exchange for virtual or real currency credited back to Your Caster Account, nor will You be able to receive a refund of virtual or real currency for Virtual Items (including any virtual currency), including if Your access to the Service has been suspended, limited or terminated.

7.3. Your gift of certain Virtual Items to a broadcaster on the Service may, but will not necessarily, appear on screen or in the chat feed of the Content You are viewing.

7.4. Rubies and other Virtual Items gifted to broadcasters may result in some revenue to them as determined in Caster's sole discretion; however, Caster makes no guarantee that the amount or value of the Rubies or Virtual Items You may give a broadcaster will correlate to the revenue such broadcaster may receive from Caster. Broadcasting partners get approximately 50% of the remaining revenue, and Caster takes approximately 50% of the remaining revenue. Moderators receiving tips from their Host receive 100% of the revenue that is sent by the Host. Caster receives 0% of Host to Moderator tips.

7.5. Only users of the Service who initiate a broadcast or a Guest session will be eligible for Rubies and other Virtual Items.

7.11 We may revise or modify Products, Product information, or pricing without notice. We are not responsible for typos or errors in product descriptions or prices.

7.12 If You perform an in-app activity that we determine to reward, the performance of this activity alone does not entitle you to receive free Rubies. If you perform one of these actions, we may indicate that you are provisionally entitled to receive free Rubies. Free Rubies are not transferrable and may expire within 60 days of when they are issued. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that You have violated these Terms, in our sole discretion, we may cause You to forfeit all of the free Rubies associated with Your Caster Account.

Each party shall bear its own expenses and pay pro rata its share of AAA fees and expenses (including, without limitation, compensation for the arbitrator).
