Just a Squire Terms of Service
Introduction
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”), together with the Just a Squire Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference, govern your use of the game Just a Squire and our related websites and services (together, the “Service”). They form a binding agreement between you and Whale Played Ltd. (“Whale Played”, “we”, “our”, “us”).
Whale Played Ltd. is registered in Israel, with its business address at Avital 18, Yokneam Illit, 2067018.
By installing, opening or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the Service. Use of the Service is void where prohibited by law.
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or another legal entity, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.
Definitions
- Account — the record we keep of your progress and purchases, identified as described under Your Account below.
- Virtual Items — anything that exists only inside the game, including gold, stamina, equipment, skills, badges and VIP time, whether you earned it or bought it.
- Store — the platform through which a purchase is made and paid for: Telegram, for the Telegram Mini App version; Google Play, for the Android app; and Apple, for any future iOS version.
- Service — the game, our servers, and the websites and services we provide alongside them.
The Service
Just a Squire is free to play. Some optional extras cost money, and those are described under Purchases and Virtual Items below. Nothing in the game requires a purchase.
You may use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment. We may add, change or remove features, chapters, balance, prices and content at any time, including content you have already unlocked, and we may do so without notice. A live game changes; that is part of what you are agreeing to.
We use third parties to run the Service, including hosting, database, analytics and attribution providers, and the stores that process payments. They are named in the Privacy Policy, which also explains what each one receives.
Who May Play
The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13, or such higher age as your local law requires for the processing of personal data without parental consent. By using the Service you confirm that you meet that age requirement.
If you play through Telegram, Google Play or Apple, their own terms apply to you in addition to these Terms.
Your Account
You do not create a username or a password. How your Account is identified depends on where you play:
- In Telegram, your Account is tied to your Telegram account.
- In the mobile app, your Account is tied to a random identifier generated on your device and stored in your device's secure storage.
You are responsible for what happens through your Account, and for the security of the device and the platform account it is tied to. Because there is no password to recover, an Account you lose access to may not be recoverable. In particular, uninstalling the mobile app removes the identifier held on your device, and a fresh installation starts a new Account.
You may delete your Account at any time. The Deleting your account section of the Privacy Policy explains how, and what happens to your data afterwards.
You may not sell, transfer, share or give away your Account, and you may not use anyone else's.
Purchases and Virtual Items
This is the part worth reading carefully, so it is written plainly.
What you are buying
When you buy something in Just a Squire, you are buying a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Virtual Items inside the game. You are not buying property, and you acquire no ownership of anything.
Virtual Items have no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for cash, and they cannot be sold, traded or transferred to anyone, inside or outside the game. They exist only within the Service and only for as long as the Service does.
We may change, rebalance, withdraw or remove any Virtual Item at any time, including one you have paid for. We may change prices at any time.
How payment works
We never see or handle your card, bank or wallet details. Every purchase is processed by the Store you are playing through:
- In the Telegram Mini App, purchases are made with Telegram Stars, and Telegram is the payment processor.
- In the Android app, purchases are processed by Google Play.
- In any future iOS version, purchases are processed by Apple.
Prices shown in the mobile app are set and displayed by the Store in your own currency, including any tax it applies. You are responsible for the charges made through your Account and for any applicable taxes.
We deliver what you bought after the Store confirms to us that the purchase completed. Some payment methods settle slowly — a carrier bill, or a purchase awaiting a parent's approval — and in those cases delivery happens when the Store confirms, which may be some time after you paid.
Refunds
Refunds are governed by the policy of the Store that took your payment, and requests should be made to that Store rather than to us. Where a Store issues a refund, we will honour it, and we may remove the corresponding Virtual Items from your Account.
Except where a Store's policy or applicable consumer law provides otherwise, purchases are final. You will not receive money or other compensation for unused Virtual Items if your Account is closed, whether you closed it or we did.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- cheat, exploit bugs, or use bots, scripts, automation or modified clients to play or to gain an advantage;
- interfere with the Service, its servers, or other players' use of it, including by overloading or probing our systems;
- reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it;
- obtain Virtual Items other than through the game itself, or buy, sell or trade Accounts or Virtual Items;
- use the Service for anything unlawful, or in breach of the terms of Telegram, Google Play or Apple.
If you do any of these, or we reasonably suspect that you have, we may limit, suspend or terminate your Account and remove Virtual Items from it, with or without notice, and without any refund.
Ownership
The Service, and everything in it — the game, its code, artwork, characters, names, writing, music, sound, animation, design and interfaces — belongs to Whale Played or is used by us under licence. We reserve all rights in it.
You have no ownership interest in your Account or in any Virtual Item, and all rights in them remain ours.
You may create and share videos, screenshots and streams of your own play for non-commercial purposes. That permission is revocable, and it does not allow you to use our name, logo or artwork to suggest that we endorse you.
Availability
We aim to keep the Service running, but we do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors. We may suspend it for maintenance, and we may modify or discontinue it, in whole or in part, at any time.
If we discontinue the Service permanently, Virtual Items you hold will cease to be usable, and no refund will be due for them except as required by applicable law.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is so, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by agreement.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost Virtual Items, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us through the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose, or US$100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Whale Played and its officers, employees and agents from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your Account at any time.
We may suspend or terminate your Account, or your access to the Service, if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Where it is reasonable and lawful to do so, we will give notice.
The sections on Ownership, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnity and Governing Law survive termination.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always the one posted here, and the date at the top shows when it last changed. Where a change is material, we will give notice through the Service or by other reasonable means. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings there.
General
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
