Driftwood & Bone — Terms of Use

JaySmitt Labs

The short version: the game is free to play from beginning to end. There is no subscription of any kind. You may optionally buy gems or one-time unlocks, and those are handled entirely by Apple or Google. Gems are game tokens, not money, and cannot be cashed out.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Driftwood & Bone game for mobile devices (iOS and Android), together with any related services operated by JaySmitt Labs (collectively, the "Application"). JaySmitt Labs is hereby referred to as the "Service Provider". By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Application.

License

The Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Application for your personal, non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms and the rules of the app store from which you obtained the Application. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract the source code or assets of the Application, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

No Subscriptions

The Application does not offer any subscription and does not charge any recurring or auto-renewing fee. Every purchase described below is a single, one-time charge. Nothing you buy expires, lapses, or renews.

In-App Purchases

The Application is free to download and can be played through to completion without spending money. It also offers the following optional one-time purchases:

Prices are shown in the Application before purchase and at the point of sale, and may differ by country. All purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to their respective terms. The Service Provider does not process payments and never receives your payment details.

Gems and Other In-Game Items

Gems, energy, relics, boats, control pads and every other item inside the game are digital items licensed to you for use within the Application. They:

The Service Provider may adjust the balance of the game — including item prices in gems, energy costs and rewards — as part of ordinary game updates.

Restoring Purchases

Purchases are tied to the app store account used to make them. If you reinstall the Application or move to a new device signed in to the same account, use the Restore Purchases option in the Application to recover unlocks such as Remove Ads. Restoring purchases does not restore your game progress, which is saved on the device and is not backed up by the Service Provider.

Refunds

Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, and refund requests are handled by those platforms under their own policies. The Service Provider does not process payments and cannot issue refunds for app store purchases. If something in the game has genuinely gone wrong, write to us anyway — we would rather fix it.

Advertising

The Application displays advertisements supplied by Google AdMob. Your interaction with an advertisement is subject to the advertiser's and Google's own policies, not ours. Buying Remove Ads stops full-screen advertisements permanently. Optional videos that you choose to watch in exchange for in-game energy remain available whether or not you have bought Remove Ads, because that is how energy is earned without paying. See our Privacy Policy for what advertising involves.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Application for any unlawful purpose, and not to modify, tamper with, or attempt to circumvent the Application's software, its saved data, or its purchase mechanisms, including by using unauthorised third-party software to gain items or progress you have not earned or bought.

Intellectual Property

The Application — including its artwork, characters, world, story, music, sound, narration, code and design — is owned by the Service Provider and its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any of it to you.

You are welcome to record and share your own gameplay footage, including on video and streaming platforms, and to monetise those videos on those platforms, provided you do not present the game as your own work and do not distribute the Application or its assets separately.

Availability and Updates

The Service Provider may update, change or discontinue the Application or any part of it. The Application requires a supported device and operating system version; a future update may raise those requirements. An internet connection is needed to display advertisements and to make purchases, but the game itself can be played offline.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Application is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. The Service Provider does not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, progress, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Application. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, and some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, in which case the exclusions apply only to the extent permitted.

Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. The Service Provider may suspend or terminate your access to the Application at any time if you breach these Terms. You may terminate at any time by ceasing all use of the Application and uninstalling it. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

Changes to These Terms

The Service Provider may update these Terms from time to time and will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms here with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Application after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Apple and Google

These Terms are between you and the Service Provider only, and not with Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the Application or its content, and have no obligation to provide support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the Service Provider is established, without regard to conflict of law principles.
