Below are some key pieces of information that typically get brought up regarding the terms of the game.

Anything in blue is a breakdown on what the Terms of Service means.

Eligibility

To use the Service, you must be a natural person, at least 18 years old. Failure to comply with this condition will result in the closing of your Account and the loss of all Virtual Items accumulated through your use of the Service.

If younger than 18, your account can be deleted and no refunds issued. 

General Rules of Conduct and Usage

You specifically agree that you shall not:

Download the Application, create an Account or access or use any part of the Service if you are under the age of 18

This just means you must be 18+ to play the game

Attempt to use the Service on or through any platform or service that is not authorized by COMPANY;

This means, technically you should be using only an Android Device or iOS Device. Specifically just Google Play, App Store and (maybe) App Gallery (Though this isn't officially supported)

Post, upload, publish, submit, provide access to or transmit any User Content that: (i) infringes, misappropriates or violates a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy; (ii) violates, or encourages any conduct that would violate, any applicable law or regulation or would give rise to civil liability; (iii) is fraudulent, false, misleading or deceptive; (iv) is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, vulgar or offensive; (v) promotes discrimination, bigotry, racism, hatred, harassment or harm against any individual or group; (vi) is violent or threatening or promotes violence or actions that are threatening to any other person; or (vii) promotes illegal or harmful activities or substances;

This basically means don't post anything that's copyrighted and make sure posts are safe for work, not racial, pornographic etc. Clean content only.

Upload or transmit (or attempt to upload or transmit) files that contain viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, corrupted files or data, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of the Service or the computers of other users of the Service;

Don't post, share or distribute viruses etc.

Send any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, e-mail, junk mail, spam, chain letters or other form of solicitation;

This is a catch all for anything spam related, including spam messages themselves and anything that could be advertising.

Create false personas, multiple identities, multiple Accounts, set up an Account on behalf of someone other than yourself or otherwise attempt to override or avoid any Loyalty Points or Rewards limits or restrictions established by COMPANY and/or any Rewards Partner;

Technically, you shouldn't have more than one account. You can have multiple games on one account (as its set up for you) but they state here you can't have more than one account (this would include farm accounts)

Create, distribute, use, or publicly inform other members of cheats, automation software, bots, hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third party software or applications;

Exploit, distribute or publicly inform other users of the Service of any game error or bug which gives users an unintended advantage;

Don't share any hacks or bugs you've found that give an advantage. You're better to record it and send to customer services directly. (Ask for reward, most companies give rewards)

Use Virtual Items in a manner that violates these Terms, including transferring or selling Virtual Items or fraudulently obtaining or acquiring Virtual Items or other products or services;

Sublicense, rent, lease, sell, trade, gift, bequeath or otherwise transfer your Account or any Virtual Items associated with your Account to anyone without COMPANY’s written permission;

Access or use an Account or Virtual Items that have been sublicensed, rented, leased, sold, traded, gifted, bequeathed, or otherwise transferred from the original Account creator without COMPANY’s permission;

TLDR; Don't sell your account. Don't give your account away. Don't share your account.

Though they do for some reason let you share your account. Even though terms say you can't.

Violate any applicable law or regulation;

This just means ensure you are following your own governments/countries laws and regulations
