ARTICLE 3: SUBCRIPTION
Subscription to the service takes place at the website www.urban-rivals.com and consists of filling out a form with a nickname, a confidential and personal password, a valid email address and one's country of origin. Should an Urban Rivals’ member not use the Urban Rivals’ service for one uninterrupted year, Boostr reserves the right to exclude this Urban Rivals’ Member. This person will then lose his/her status as an Urban Rivals’ member. His/her nickname will then be made available to other users after a one-month blocking and unavailability period.

The cards found inside the packs are selected randomly from the available characters; some cards being rarer than others. Boostr does not know which characters are contained in the packs. These characters can be swapped with other players in the service’s “Market” section. Credits can also be converted into Clintz, the game's virtual currency that players use to buy and sell characters to one another. The cards have an unlimited validity.
