Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") set out the conditions for using the mobile game application "Glintspire" ("the App") provided by Glintspire ("we", "us"). By downloading or using the App, you ("you") are deemed to have agreed to these Terms.
1. Scope
These Terms apply to every aspect of the relationship between you and us regarding the App. The handling of your information is governed by our separate Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
The App is obtained, and purchases are made, through the App Store or Google Play. Those stores' terms are set by their respective operators, not by us. Where these Terms conflict with a store's terms, the store's terms govern the relationship between you and that store.
2. Conditions of use
The App may only be used if obtained legitimately from the App Store or Google Play. Supported OS versions are as stated on each store listing; we do not warrant that the App works in any other environment.
If you are a minor, please obtain your guardian's consent before using the App and before making any in-app purchase. Guardians can check whether purchases are possible using the store's purchase controls (Screen Time on the App Store, "Require authentication for purchases" on Google Play).
Even where a purchase was made by a minor, whether a refund is granted and how to request one is governed by the terms and procedures of the store (section 5).
3. Fees
The App itself is free. All 100 stages can be played to the end at no cost. Optional in-app purchases are also available (section 4).
4. In-app purchases
The App offers the following items.
| Item | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Hide ads for a week | Consumable (time-limited) | Hides every ad in the App for 7 days from purchase |
| Unlock a block shape | Consumable (time-limited) | Lets you play stage 31 and beyond with that shape for 30 days from purchase |
Prices are those shown in your store and vary by country or region. Always check the price shown in the App or in your store before purchasing. Payment is processed by the store. We never receive or store payment details such as credit card numbers.
Because we operate no server, your purchase state is recorded only on your device. This has the following consequences.
- Every item sold in the App is time-limited; there are no permanent, one-time purchases. "Hide ads for a week" lasts 7 days from purchase, and a shape unlock lasts 30 days from purchase. Once the time is up, please purchase again if you wish to continue.
- Every item is lost if you change devices, reinstall the App, or reset your device. They are time-limited consumables, so no entitlement remains on the store side. For this reason the App has no "Restore purchases" feature.
- Progress (cleared stages and points per shape) cannot be restored. Your progress on the device is not erased when an unlock expires, however, so purchasing again lets you pick up where you left off.
5. Refunds
In-app purchases are, as a rule, non-refundable. This includes, without limitation, the following cases.
- Where "Hide ads for a week" or a shape unlock is lost with time remaining because you changed devices, reinstalled the App, or reset your device
- Where you stopped using an item you bought before its time was up
- Where the App is discontinued under section 6 and purchased entitlements or unused time can no longer be used
- Where the App becomes unusable through your own actions, device failure, or data loss
- Where you purchased an item having misunderstood what it does
Whether a refund is granted, and how to request one, is governed by the terms and procedures of the App Store or Google Play. We do not process payments and therefore have no ability to issue refunds. Please contact your store directly.
6. Changes, suspension and discontinuation
We may change the App, suspend it, or discontinue it entirely, without prior notice to you. This includes, without limitation, the following.
- Changing or removing features, stages, prices, or the items we sell
- Responding to changes or shutdowns at our advertising provider or the stores
- Responding to an OS update that stops the App from working
- Withdrawing the App from distribution and ending the service as a business decision
If the service ends, the App will no longer be available to download, and copies already installed may stop working depending on OS or store behaviour. In that case, no refund or other compensation will be provided for items already purchased or for unused time remaining (section 5).
Where we decide to discontinue the service, we will endeavour to give advance notice on the store listing or this site where practicable, but we do not guarantee that we will do so.
7. Data storage and loss
Your progress and purchase state are stored encrypted on your device only. No data is held on any server of ours. Data is therefore lost, and cannot be recovered by us, in the following cases.
- You uninstall the App
- You reset your device, or move to a different device
- Your device fails or is lost, or the data is corrupted by an OS fault
- Tampering with the saved data is detected (we reset the data for safety — see Privacy Policy section 10)
8. Advertising
The App shows ads served by Google AdMob. We do not choose which ads appear; that is decided by the ad provider. We are not responsible for the content of the ads, or for the services or products of the advertisers.
If you would rather not see ads, please purchase "Hide ads for a week" (section 4).
9. Third-party services
The App incorporates the following third-party services.
| Service | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| App Store / Google Play | Apple Inc. / Google LLC | Distributing the App and processing in-app purchases |
| Google AdMob | Google LLC | Serving ads |
Use of these services is subject to the terms and privacy policies of their respective providers. We are not responsible for changes to those services, their suspension or termination, faults in them, or any loss you suffer as a result.
10. Prohibited conduct
When using the App, you must not:
- Modify, reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the App
- Tamper with saved data, or circumvent the purchase mechanism by improper means
- Click ads fraudulently, or operate the App with automation tools
- Infringe the App or our rights
- Act unlawfully or contrary to public order and morals
11. Intellectual property
All intellectual property rights in the programs, images, text and other content of the App and this site belong to us or to the rightful owners. These Terms do not transfer any of those rights to you.
12. Disclaimers
We do not warrant that the App is fit for your particular purpose, that it has the features you expect, that it will work correctly on every device and OS, or that it will be free of defects.
We are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the App, except where we have acted with intent or gross negligence.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms following changes in the law, changes to the App, or where we otherwise consider it necessary. Changes take effect when posted on this page. Where a change is significant, we will announce it in the App or in the store's update notes.
If you continue to use the App after a change, you are deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, please stop using the App and uninstall it.
14. Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or pledge as security your position under these Terms, or any right or obligation arising from them, to any third party without our prior written consent.
If we transfer the business relating to the App to a third party, we may transfer to the transferee our position under these Terms, the rights and obligations arising from them, and information relating to users. You agree to this in advance.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms, or part of one, is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of these Terms and the remainder of that provision continue in full force and effect.
In that case, we and you shall endeavour to replace the invalid or unenforceable part with a valid and enforceable provision that comes as close as possible to its original intent.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Japan.
