    5 Premature termination of the prize game/contest

    Bigpoint reserves the right to interrupt or prematurely terminate the prize game/contest at any time and without notification. Bigpoint may avail itself of this right when a prize game/contest cannot run its full course due to technical reasons (e.g. a virus in the computer system, manipulation of the prize game/contest or errors in hardware and/or software). Bigpoint may also do so if the prize game/contest cannot properly be carried out due to legal reasons. If an interruption or termination occurs as a direct result of participant actions, Bigpoint has the right to claim any damages resulting from this person's actions.
