Star Battle Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

2. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on a device that you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use, and solely as permitted by the usage rules of the app store from which you downloaded the App (for example, Apple's App Store Usage Rules or Google Play's Terms of Service).

This license does not give you any ownership interest in the App. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Arqcia and its licensors.

3. Accounts

Star Battle does not currently require an account, login, or sign-up to use its core features. If we introduce optional accounts in the future (for example, to support cross-device sync or online features), additional terms governing accounts will be presented to you at that time and these Terms will be updated accordingly.

4. In-App Purchases

Star Battle does not currently offer in-app purchases; all of its features are available without payment. If we introduce optional in-app purchases in the future (for example, to unlock additional content), they will be processed entirely through Apple's App Store or Google Play billing systems — we will not directly process or store your payment information — and any such purchase will be subject to the payment terms, refund policies, and account rules of the app store you purchased through. We will update these Terms before or as that change ships.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
• modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based on the App;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App;
• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices on the App;
• interfere with or disrupt the App, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks connected to the App; or
• use any automated system (including bots or scrapers) to access the App in a manner that sends more requests than a human could reasonably produce.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.

6. Intellectual Property

The App, including its code, design, graphics, puzzles, and all associated content, is owned by Arqcia LLC or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted in Section 2, nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

“Star Battle” and associated logos are trademarks of Arqcia LLC. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

7. Third-Party Services

The App uses a small number of third-party services to operate, described in our Privacy Policy . Those services are provided by third parties under their own terms, which we do not control and are not responsible for.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Arqcia LLC and its officers, employees, and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Arqcia LLC from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App.

11. Term; Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause. You may stop using the App and uninstall it at any time. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12) will survive.

12. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at [email protected] and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and Arqcia agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court.

Class action waiver. You and Arqcia agree that any arbitration or proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) may proceed in court, severed from any arbitration.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and Arqcia each consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Exception for intellectual property. Either party may bring a claim for injunctive relief related to intellectual property infringement or misuse in court, notwithstanding the above.

13. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you downloaded the App from Apple's App Store, the following additional terms apply and take precedence over any conflicting terms in these Terms:

• These Terms are between you and Arqcia LLC only, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"), and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• The license granted to you in Section 2 is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's App Store Terms of Service.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
• In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
• Arqcia LLC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising from consumer protection or similar legislation.
• If a third party claims the App infringes their intellectual property rights, Arqcia LLC, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (for example, your wireless data service agreement).
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Google Play Additional Terms

If you downloaded the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to Google Play's Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Google Play's Terms of Service regarding Google Play's own policies (such as billing and refunds), Google Play's Terms of Service control.

15. Export Compliance

You may not use or export the App except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the App was obtained. You represent that you are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list and are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Version and Effective date above and post the updated Terms at arqcia.com/apps/star-battle/terms-of-use . Material changes will take effect prospectively; if you continue to use the App after a change takes effect, you agree to the updated Terms.

17. General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Arqcia regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
