Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the mobile application Swords & Brains (the “App”), operated by Taban Ion under Adydino Studio (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms form a binding agreement between you and us regarding the App. Additional store terms from Apple or Google may also apply to downloads and purchases.

2. Eligibility

The App is intended for a general audience. You must have the legal capacity to accept these Terms in your jurisdiction. If you are under the age of digital consent in your country (for example under 13 in the U.S., or under 16 in parts of the EU where applicable), you may only use the App with involvement of a parent or guardian as required by law.

3. License to use the App

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App for personal, non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms.

You may not:

• Copy, redistribute, sell, lease, or sublicense the App except as allowed by the platform
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App except where mandatory law permits
• Use the App for commercial purposes without our prior written consent
• Cheat, exploit bugs, use unauthorized automation/bots, or disrupt multiplayer sessions
• Attempt to bypass purchase, subscription, or anti-abuse systems
• Harass other players or submit illegal, hateful, or infringing content in nicknames or custom topics

All intellectual property rights in the App remain owned by us or our licensors.

4. Virtual items, progress & scores

Coins, artifacts, consumables, encyclopedia unlocks, scores, and other in-app progress are virtual items with no real-world cash value. They exist for gameplay only. Progress stored on device may be lost if you uninstall the App, clear app data, change devices, or if a run ends according to game rules. Except where a feature expressly syncs data online (for example multiplayer room state or temporary custom-topic jobs), we do not provide cloud save of your single-player progress.

5. In-app purchases & subscriptions (Pro)

The App may offer optional purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions, including Swords & Brains Pro (entitlement id swords_brains_pro). Payments are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not process or store your full payment card details. Entitlements may be validated through RevenueCat.

• Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your store account settings
• You can cancel anytime through Apple or Google subscription management
• Access continues until the end of the paid period after cancellation
• Pro may unlock features such as the Mage hero, Custom Topics, and skipping forced boss interstitial ads
• Optional rewarded ads may still be available even for Pro users

Refund requests must be made through Apple or Google. We do not control or guarantee refund decisions.

6. Multiplayer (including Beta)

Multiplayer may be labeled Beta and can change, break, or be discontinued. Rooms are joined with a room code and currently do not use user authentication — anyone with the code can join. Do not share room codes publicly if you want a private match.

• Use appropriate nicknames; do not impersonate others or include personal data you do not want shared with match participants
• Do not harass, grief, or abuse other players
• Do not use bots, exploits, or tools that disrupt matches
• Host devices may be authoritative for round resolution; disconnects can forfeit a match
• Match data may remain on our backend until cleaned; leaving a room does not guarantee deletion of historical rows

7. Custom Topics & AI-generated content

Pro users may create custom trivia topics. Generation may send your topic title, description, locale, and an anonymous device id to our servers and to an AI provider (OpenAI) via a server-side function. Generated questions can be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable — you are responsible for reviewing them before play.

• Do not submit personal data, secrets, or confidential information in prompts
• Do not request or distribute illegal, hateful, infringing, or abusive content
• We may rate-limit generation, refuse jobs, or remove access that violates these Terms
• After download, packs are intended to remain on your device; temporary server job payloads are for orchestration and abuse prevention

8. Advertising

The free App may display Google AdMob ads, including interstitial ads (such as after certain boss encounters) and optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch for in-game benefits. Ads are subject to Google’s policies and your device/platform privacy settings. Pro may remove forced boss interstitial ads as described in the App.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free service, accurate AI-generated trivia, or uninterrupted multiplayer connectivity. Beta features may be unstable.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; loss of data or progress; device incompatibility; service interruptions; store outages; ad or third-party SDK failures; multiplayer connectivity problems; or AI content quality. Use of the App is at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations — in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the App or online features if you violate these Terms, engage in fraud, abuse purchases/multiplayer/generation systems, or if we discontinue the service. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Moldova, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are in the European Union, mandatory consumer protection rights remain unaffected.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, except where mandatory law requires additional consent.
