Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. By accessing, downloading, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

If you are under the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into this agreement.
2. Limited License Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, and limited license to download, install, and use the App on a mobile device that you own or control for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.
Restrictions: You agree not to:

3. User Accounts & Security
3.1 Account Types

- Social Accounts: You may link your account to a third-party service (e.g., Google or Apple). This allows your data to be synced with our servers and accessed across multiple devices.
3.2 Responsibility
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
4. Virtual Currency & Virtual Goods
The Service may include "Virtual Currency" (e.g., Coins) or "Virtual Goods" (e.g., Avatars, special themes).
- License only: Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods are licensed to you, not sold. You have no ownership or property interest in them.
- No Cash Value: Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods have no real-world monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash or any other value from us or any other party.
- Management: We reserve the right to manage, regulate, control, modify, or eliminate Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods at our sole discretion, without liability to you.
5. Payments, Billing & Refunds
5.1 Transactions
Purchases of Virtual Currency or other digital content are handled through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store ("App Provider"). You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes incurred by you or anyone using an account registered to you.
5.2 No Refunds
All purchases are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or the policies of the App Provider. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partially used periods of Service.
6. Code of Conduct & Prohibited Activities
You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities:
- Cheating & Exploitation: Using cheats, exploits, automation software (bots), hacks, mods, or any unauthorized third-party software designed to modify or interfere with the Service or the multiplayer experience.
- Harassment: Engaging in any behavior that is abusive, threatening, obscene, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable to other users.
- Infrastructure Interference: Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our servers, networks, or user accounts, or performing any action that imposes an unreasonable load on our infrastructure.
- Data Scraping: Using any automated system, including "robots," "spiders," or "offline readers," to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to our servers than a human can reasonably produce.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service (including without limitation any games, titles, computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialogue, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, and methods of operation) are owned by us or our licensors. Our names and logos are trademarks, and may not be used without our prior written permission.
