Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 4 September 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of ShadowCube (the "Game"), published by Zed Software Solutions ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing, or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country of residence, to accept these Terms on your own behalf. If you are younger, a parent or legal guardian must accept these Terms on your behalf and supervise your use of the Game.

2. License to use the Game

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to download and use the Game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. We and our licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Game, including all intellectual property rights. No ownership rights are transferred to you.

3. Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

• Copy, modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the Game
• Use cheats, exploits, automation software (bots), hacks, mods, or unauthorized third-party software to affect gameplay
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features or in-app purchase mechanisms
• Sell, rent, lease, or sublicense the Game or your account
• Use the Game for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
• Harass, abuse, or harm other players, if the Game includes social or multiplayer features

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Game for violation of these Terms.

4. Virtual items and in-app purchases

• The Game may offer virtual currency, items, or content ("Virtual Items") for purchase using real money, processed via the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another authorized payment provider.
• Virtual Items have no monetary value, are non-refundable and non-transferable except as required by law, and are licensed to you, not sold — you do not own them.
• We may modify, discontinue, or reset Virtual Items and in-game economies at our discretion, including following updates or shutdown of the Game.
• EU/EEA consumers: under the Consumer Rights Directive, you generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content purchases; however, this right is typically lost once you expressly consent to immediate delivery/consumption of the digital content and acknowledge the loss of the withdrawal right, which is presented at the point of purchase in the applicable app store. Refunds for purchases are handled by Apple or Google according to their own refund policies.

5. Advertising

The Game may display third-party advertisements, including rewarded video ads that grant in-game benefits. Ad content is served by third-party ad networks (e.g. Google AdMob) and we do not control or endorse the content of individual ads. See our Privacy Policy for details on ad personalization and consent choices.

6. User-generated content

If the Game allows you to submit content (e.g. usernames, chat messages, custom levels), you retain ownership of it but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute it within the Game. You are solely responsible for content you submit and must not submit unlawful, infringing, or offensive material.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Nothing in this section limits any statutory consumer rights that cannot be excluded under the law of your country of residence.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or progress, arising from your use of the Game. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Game shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable EU/national consumer protection law, including liability for death, personal injury, or fraud.

9. Updates and availability

We may update, modify, or discontinue the Game or any of its features at any time, with or without notice. We do not guarantee the Game will remain available indefinitely.

10. Term and termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Game. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Game and uninstall it at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability) will survive.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence, and may bring proceedings before the courts of that country. EU residents may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified in-game or via the app store listing before they take effect. Continued use of the Game after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Third-party platform terms

Your use of the Game is also subject to the terms of service of the platform you downloaded it from (Apple App Store or Google Play), which take precedence in the event of conflict regarding platform-specific matters.
