Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the mobile application Sudoku (the "App"), published by Deep Sea Developers ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. License

We grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a compatible device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license is subject to these Terms and to the Google Play Terms of Service (https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/).

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

2. Ownership

The App, including all code, graphics, audio, and text, is owned by Deep Sea Developers or its licensors. The App is licensed to you, not sold. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual-property rights to you.

3. Restrictions

You must not:

• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the limited extent permitted by applicable law.
• Modify, adapt, or create derivative works of the App.
• Distribute, sublicense, lease, sell, or rent the App or any portion of it.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices in the App.
• Attempt to manipulate in-app rewards, streaks, achievements, or in-app currency through automated means, modified devices, tampered device clocks, or any other non-genuine gameplay.
• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms or any applicable law.

4. In-App Purchases

The App offers a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase titled "Remove Ads". All purchases are processed by Google Play under Google's terms. We do not handle or store your payment details.

By making a purchase you acknowledge and agree that:

• All purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by applicable law or by Google Play's refund policy (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637).
• The "Remove Ads" entitlement is tied to the Google Account that made the purchase. It can be restored on reinstall via the Restore Purchases button in Settings.
• After purchase, banner and between-game interstitial ads are disabled. Rewarded video ads remain available because they are opt-in and used to earn in-app currency.
• In-app currency ("coins") and virtual items have no real-world monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash or credit, and are not transferable outside the App.

5. Advertising

The App displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. Ads are subject to Google's ad policies and AdMob's terms. We do not endorse advertised products, services, or advertisers. Any purchase or transaction with an advertiser is between you and the advertiser; we are not a party to and bear no responsibility for those transactions.

6. User Conduct

You agree to use the App in a manner consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and with these Terms. You are responsible for any use of the App under your Google Account or device.

7. Updates and Availability

We may release updates, bug fixes, or new features at any time. We may also discontinue the App or any feature at any time without notice. We are not obligated to provide support, updates, or new features.

8. Disclaimer of Warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

• The App will meet your requirements.
• The App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• Any defects in the App will be corrected.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL Deep Sea Developers BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Our total liability in any matter arising out of or related to these Terms is limited to the amount you have paid us for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or ten U.S. dollars (USD $10), whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Deep Sea Developers harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, without notice, for any reason — including suspected tampering, abuse of in-app purchases, or violation of these Terms. Upon termination, the license in Section 1 ends immediately and you must stop using the App.

Sections 2, 4 (as to prior purchases), 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13 survive termination.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective date" at the top. Continued use of the App after changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the App will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Pakistan.

Where you are a consumer resident in the European Union or United Kingdom, mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence apply regardless of this clause.

14. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with third-party services (Google AdMob, Google Play Billing). Those services are governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or data practices of any third-party service.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. An unenforceable provision will be replaced by an enforceable one that most closely reflects the original intent.

16. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Deep Sea Developers regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.
