The “Razer ID” Account is a single unified login account for all Razer services. The Account collects data from you across a variety of Razer Services.

These are necessary for Razer ID to function properly in securing your access to all the Services supported by Razer ID, and also to enforce the warranty. We do not collect any personal data through the Razer Guest Account.
Export of Data. We may process data outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) where data protection laws may provide less protection than in the UK and the EEA. The secure mechanisms we use to safeguard personal data relating to your account in such countries are described in our privacy policy.
Who your data is shared with. We may pass your information to third parties such as service providers, agents, advisors and affiliates of Razer that perform activities on our behalf. We may also pass your information to regulatory, anti-fraud and law enforcement bodies as required in connection with legal obligations or to combat fraud.

Data Processing by Synapse. Synapse is a unified cloud-based device configuration tool for Razer devices. Synapse allows you to bring out the best in your Razer device(s), by way of (a) its wide array of configuration options such as button keybinds, macros assignments, lighting personalisation, and power options; and (b) its ability to save your settings on Razer’s cloud for your convenient access across multiple computers. When you use Synapse in online mode, Synapse will collect and use certain data from your computer, specifically (a) warranty registration details; (b) device type and serial number; (c) operating system; (d) device configuration profiles including settings relating to keybinds, chroma lighting, macros, power and device performance (eg. DPI and acceleration for mice; audio equaliser for headsets); (e) the games installed on your computer in order to enable game-specific device configuration; and (f) information about your Synapse app usage in order to improve product and software and for other analytics purposes. When you use Synapse in offline mode, Synapse will collect and store the data described above on your local computer but will not upload the data to Razer’s cloud so Razer has no access to such data for as long as you remain offline. Mouse Usage Statistics. Synapse 2.0 offers a feature of collecting mouse usage statistics, specifically keystrokes, mouse-clicks, wheel-rotations and pointer distance travelled. Such collection of statistics may be turned on or off within Synapse and is under your own control.
Data Processing by Cortex. Cortex boosts and optimises your system and game performance by collecting and streamlining data relating to your system settings and system processes. When you launch Cortex, it will collect and use such data automatically. By installing and using Cortex, you consent to certain data collection and usage by Cortex for its recommendation engine to function. Cortex recommends game deals and makes price comparisons based on a variety of websites. To do so, Cortex will need to collect and process certain data from your computer, specifically your email address, IP address, game settings, installed games, game performance metrics, device type, user interaction patterns, operating system and browser type. To optimise the advertisements to be communicated to you and the performance of our services, such data will be used with Google’s Doubleclick Ad Exchange and Google Analytics respectively. For the purpose of highlighting discounts as they arise on other websites and displaying price comparisons, Cortex needs to access data relating to your game-ownership and game-wishlist(s), if any, on retail websites of your choice.
Data Processing by Razer Gold. Razer Gold is a stored value facility that records Razer’s virtual credits (Razer Gold) and loyalty rewards programme (Razer Silver). Upon your account verification with Razer Gold, all your personal data provided upon account verification is stored securely by Razer Gold.

We also collect data relating to your Razer Gold top-up transactions, and Razer Silver redemption transactions. Specifically, when executing each transaction, Razer will provide your transaction data to Cashshield and Sift Science which conducts anti-fraud checks pursuant to legal and compliance requirements.

You acknowledge and agree that for reasons that include, without limitation, system security, stability, and multiplayer interoperability, we may (but are not obligated to) provide updates, create new versions or otherwise enhance the Software in order to improve the Services.

- you specifically acknowledge that Beta Services are not final and may create incompatibilities or damage to your computer, data, and/or software. Installation and/or use of Beta Services is entirely at your own risk.
- 11. No Guarantees or Warranty on Security
Razer does not guarantee or warrant continuous, error-free, virus-free or secure operation and/or access to the services. Razer does not guarantee that our services are 100% secure or “hacker proof”, and shall bear no liability for the actions of hackers or other third parties that may infiltrate our systems. You acknowledge and agree that use of the services is at your own risk and that you are responsible for the security of your computer system. - 12. Disclaimer of Warranties

Any warranty against infringement that may be provided under the applicable law and/or in any other comparable statute of any other state or nation (for example, Section 2-312(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code) is expressly disclaimed. Also, there is no warranty of title, warranty of freedom of interference with your enjoyment, or warranty of authority in connection with the services or with information available in connection therewith. This section shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the foregoing exclusions of implied warranties may not apply to you. - 13. Limitation of liability / exclusive remedy
Neither Razer, its licensors, nor their affiliates shall be liable in any way for loss or damage of any kind resulting from the use or inability to use the services, including, but not limited to, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses. In no event will Razer be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary damages, or any other damages arising out of or in any way connected with the services, or any information available in connection therewith, or the delay or inability to use information or the services, even in the event of fault, tort (including negligence), strict liability, breach of contract, or breach of Razer’s warranty and even if Razer has been advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations and exclusions regarding damages apply even if any limited remedy fails.
You acknowledge and agree that your sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute with Razer with regard to the services is to discontinue use of the services. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages or other kinds of damages excluded herein, the liability of Razer and its affiliates shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by law in such states or jurisdictions. - 14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Razer and its affiliates from all liabilities, claims, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise from or in connection with your breach of these terms or from the content you use and/or upload to the services. Razer reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In that event, you shall have no further obligation to provide indemnification to Razer in that matter with regard to attorney fees. This paragraph shall survive any termination of your use of the services. - 15. Modification Of and Amendments To These Terms
We may amend these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. We will notify you of any material changes to these Terms by posting the new Terms on our website. Please consult these Terms regularly for any changes. The date of the last revision appears at the top of these Terms.

Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
You also agree that any disputes shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre ("SIAC Rules") for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The seat of the arbitration shall be Singapore. The Tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. The language of the arbitration shall be English. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
If you are a consumer based in the European Union, the preceding paragraph on arbitration does not apply, and you may make a claim in a competent court of the country in which you reside. - 18. Miscellaneous
In the event that any provision of these Terms shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining portions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
This is the entire agreement between you and Razer with regard to the Services (except for any separate licenses or agreements with respect to the Software). Our failure to enforce these Terms or any portion thereof shall not be viewed as a waiver.
Our obligations are subject to existing laws and legal process and we may comply with law enforcement or regulatory requests or requirements notwithstanding any contrary term. Any provision herein which by its nature extends beyond termination of these Terms, including Sections 2, 5, 11 to 14 and 16 to 18, shall survive termination of these Terms. You agree that these Terms are not intended to confer and do not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and Razer.
