Regarding Users’ use of the Service
Users must be over 16 years of age, with full capacity to use the Services. Those under 16 years of age may only use the Services with prior authorisation from their parents, guardians or legal representatives, who shall be responsible for the actions carried out by the persons under their charge. Since these facts may not be verified by Amobi, Amobi reminds parents and guardians of their responsibility for monitoring the use of the Services made by persons under their charge, particularly of the mobile phone being used for the Services and to which the minor or other third parties have access. Notwithstanding the foregoing, parents, guardians or legal representatives may restrict access to the Club easily and directly using the “Parental Control”. Parental control allows Mobile phone owners to restrict access to their mobile or their minor's mobile to Amobi services. This can be easily switched on by accessing our website.
Amobi, cannot control Users' use of the Services. It therefore does not warrant that the Services are used in accordance with applicable law or these General Conditions. It is up to the User to comply with these rules, particularly relating to intellectual and industrial property rights, abstaining from using the Services for unlawful purposes or in a way which is contrary to, or infringes, the rights and interests of Amobi or third party rights holders.
In addition, unless Amobi has made a system expressly intended for that purpose available to Users, Users must not obtain or attempt to obtain any type of content on the Website, including, without limitation, text, graphics, drawings, sound files, images, photographs or videos.

Amobi accepts no liability for any requests which do not include the text stipulated for each Service or which originate from mobiles which are not compatible with the Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Amobi shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that content reaches Users at the time it is requested.
