TERMS OF SERVICE
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the mobile games, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Claudiu Ardelean ("we," "us," or "our"), a sole developer based in Romania. By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the Service with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly allow children under 13 to use the Service.
2. License Grant (EULA)
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to download, install, and play our games on your personal devices for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes only. This license does not grant you any ownership of the game or its content. You may not:
- Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the game.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code.
- Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or commercially exploit the game.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.
3. Intellectual Property
All content in our games — including but not limited to graphics, artwork, animations, sounds, music, text, game mechanics, and software code — is owned by or licensed to Claudiu Ardelean and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.
The names, logos, and visual identity of our games are trademarks of Claudiu Ardelean. You may not use them without prior written permission.
4. Virtual Currency & Items
The Service may include virtual coins, gems, skins, or other digital items ("Virtual Goods"). You acknowledge and agree that:
- Virtual Goods are licensed to you, not sold. You have no ownership or property rights in them.
- Virtual Goods have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real currency or goods.
- We may manage, regulate, modify, or remove Virtual Goods at any time, with or without notice, including in the event of a game update, rebalancing, or discontinuation.
- All purchases of Virtual Goods are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable consumer protection laws (including EU consumer rights allowing a 14-day withdrawal period for digital content, which you may waive upon starting the download).
- Virtual Goods are not transferable between players or across different games.
5. Payments & In-App Purchases
All payments for in-app purchases are processed exclusively by the platform provider (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). We do not process, collect, or store any payment or financial information. By making a purchase, you agree to the payment terms of the respective platform. For refund requests, please contact Apple or Google directly through their standard refund processes.
6. Cloud Saves & Platform Services
We use Google Play Services (Android) and Apple Game Center (iOS) to provide cloud saving, achievements, and leaderboard features. Additionally, we use Unity Cloud Save for cross-platform progress synchronization. While we strive to keep your data safe:
- We do not guarantee that your game progress will always be available, complete, or recoverable.
- You are responsible for safeguarding your own platform account credentials.
- Data loss may occur due to platform outages, account changes, or device failures beyond our control.
7. Advertisements
Our games display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks (AppLovin, Unity Ads, InMobi). By using the Service, you acknowledge that:
- Ads may be shown during gameplay (banners, interstitials, and rewarded videos).
- Ad content is provided by third parties; we do not endorse or guarantee the products or services advertised.
- You may manage your ad preferences through the in-game consent dialog or your device's privacy settings. See our Privacy Policy for details.
8. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods, or any unauthorized third-party tools.
- Exploit bugs, glitches, or vulnerabilities for unfair advantage. If you discover a bug, we encourage you to report it to us.
- Interfere with, disrupt, or place an undue burden on the Service or its servers/networks.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or related systems.
- Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
- Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation.
- Manipulate leaderboards, achievements, or game data through illegitimate means.
Violation of these rules may result in temporary or permanent suspension of your access to the Service, removal of game progress, or other remedial action at our sole discretion.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the game. Upon termination:
- Your license to use the Service is immediately revoked.
- You will lose access to any Virtual Goods, game progress, and other data associated with your use.
- Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law) will continue to apply.
10. Disclaimer of Warranty
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such cases, our warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CLAUDIU ARDELEAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GAME PROGRESS, LOSS OF VIRTUAL GOODS, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (c) any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory EU consumer protection rights.
12. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Claudiu Ardelean from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
13. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.
14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be submitted to the competent courts of Romania.
If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you also benefit from mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights under such provisions. You may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
16. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, power failures, internet or telecommunications failures, or platform (Apple/Google) outages.
17. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Claudiu Ardelean regarding your use of the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.
