By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the App, you represent that you are at least the minimum age required by applicable law to enter into a binding agreement.

The features, content, and functionality of the App are subject to change at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

3. User Accounts

Upon first use of the App, an anonymous account is automatically created for you. You may optionally link your account to a third-party sign-in provider (e.g., Google or Apple). You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account.

  • Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely represent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable burden on the App’s servers, networks, or infrastructure
  • Exploit any bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities in the App for personal gain or to the detriment of other users
  • Engage in any activity that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations

Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of your account, at our sole discretion, without prior notice or liability.

5. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the App—including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, game mechanics, source code, and software—are the exclusive property of the developer and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes only. No right, title, or interest in or to the App is transferred to you.

6. Virtual Items and Game Content

Any virtual items obtained within the App—including but not limited to trophies, achievements, scores, leaderboard rankings, and game progress—have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged, traded, sold, or redeemed for cash or any other form of consideration. We reserve the right to modify, reduce, remove, or reset any virtual items at any time without notice or compensation.

7. Game Content Modifications

We reserve the absolute right to add, modify, update, rebalance, or remove any game content, features, modes, rules, mechanics, or functionality at any time, at our sole discretion, without prior notice, consent, or compensation to you.

10. Data Loss and Service Interruption

We shall not be liable for any loss, corruption, or destruction of data—including but not limited to game progress, scores, statistics, achievements, trophy records, account information, or any other user data—regardless of whether such loss results from system failures, software errors, server outages, security breaches, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, force majeure events, or any other cause whatsoever. You are solely responsible for any data you choose to store or transmit through the App and acknowledge that such data may be irretrievably lost.

The App may be subject to scheduled or unscheduled downtime for maintenance, updates, or other operational reasons. We are under no obligation to provide compensation, credits, refunds, or any other form of remedy for service outages, downtime, or unavailability. In the event of a significant or prolonged service disruption, we may, at our sole and absolute discretion, choose to provide reasonable compensation to affected users; however, the form, amount, and eligibility for any such compensation shall be determined exclusively by us and shall not create any ongoing obligation or precedent.

Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party services, and we make no representations or warranties regarding the same. With respect to advertising: the App participates in the Google Play Families Self-Certified Ads SDK Program. All advertisements are served in child-directed mode with non-personalized, G-rated content only.

14. No Obligation for Support or Refunds

We are under no obligation to provide customer support, technical assistance, maintenance, bug fixes, updates, patches, or new features for the App. Any support, updates, or improvements that we may choose to provide are at our sole discretion and do not create any ongoing obligation. The App is provided free of charge, and no refunds shall be applicable. For any in-app purchases, refund policies of the applicable platform (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) shall govern.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, your use or misuse of the App, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect.
