Terms of Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to SpadeTown (the "App"), made by Judedon Ltd ("we", "our" or "us"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

2. Your Account

• Every install starts with an anonymous account. You can also sign in with Apple, Google, or a sign-in code sent to your email address. Keep access to that account safe
• You're responsible for what happens on your account
• You must be at least 13 years old to use SpadeTown
• Use first names or nicknames. Don't use a name that is offensive or that pretends to be someone else

3. SpadeTown, for good and Purchases

SpadeTown has no ads, no subscription, no coins and no credits. Some of it is free for good: the scorer, the rules card, card night and the cookout tools, today's deal, joining any friends' table, Learn and your record. The free taste lets you play three games against the robots with Unc in full, and host two friends' tables. After that, SpadeTown, for good is a single purchase that unlocks unlimited games against the robots at every level, Unc in every game, hosting friends' tables (live and at your own pace), take it back, and everything we add to the game later.

• Pay once. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It doesn't renew and there's nothing to cancel
• Yours to keep. What you buy stays yours: no ads, ever, and nothing you bought moves behind a new tier
• The price. The App shows the store's price, in your currency, before you buy. We may offer a launch price for a limited time and say so in the App. The price you paid doesn't change
• Family Sharing. It's on where the store offers it. Your family members' use is subject to the store's rules
• Restore. You can restore it on another phone with the same Apple ID or Google account, or by signing in to the account you bought it with, using Restore purchase in the App

Payment is taken by Apple or Google when you confirm the purchase, and checked on our server through RevenueCat before anything unlocks. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies: ask them for a refund. If a purchase is refunded, SpadeTown, for good is locked again on that account and everything free stays free. Deleting the App or your SpadeTown account doesn't touch your purchase or cancel anything: it stays with your store account.

A game counts towards the free taste when it's dealt, and a table counts when it opens. A game in progress always finishes. Today's deal, a hand dealt again, a lesson and joining a friend's table never count.

4. Fair Play and Acceptable Use

SpadeTown is built to be fair, and to be seen to be fair. The robots never see hidden cards, not even their partner's, and every hand has a deal number so you can check it and replay it with all four hands shown. You agree not to:

• Cheat at a friends' table, for example by trying to read another player's cards, or by sharing your hand with a partner outside the game
• Attempt to read, change or break another player's cards, a table or the servers, or use bots or scripts to play or to create tables
• Create tables or games faster than the limits allow. We limit how many tables an account opens and how many online games a host starts in a day, to keep the service fair for everyone
• Harass or mislead other players, or use the table-talk lines or a shared contact for anything other than the game
• Use the App for any illegal or unauthorised purpose
• Interfere with or disrupt the App or its servers
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the App

5. Friends' Tables, Boards and Events

A friends' table is shared with the people you invite. Anyone with its invite code can ask to sit down, so share it only with the people you play with. The host can pause, change seats and remove a player. A player who leaves, or who is away from a live table for a while, is replaced by a robot until they return. A live board, a shared rules card and a cookout event can be read by anyone with its link or code, so don't put anything private in the names or titles. How long each is kept is in our Privacy Policy.

6. Scores, Rules and Statistics

SpadeTown keeps score and runs the game by the rules card in use, which you or the host choose, and we work hard to make it accurate. Tables differ on house rules, so the rules are a setting. Scores you enter depend on what you type, and scores, counts and statistics may contain errors. SpadeTown is a game and a scoring aid, not an official referee: it doesn't replace the rules or decisions of a tournament or league.

"Is the deal rigged?" Each deal is random, and the luck check shows you your own numbers. It describes the hands you were dealt, not what you should have done.

7. No Real Money or Gambling

SpadeTown is a game of skill and company, played for fun. It has no real-money play, no stakes, no prizes of value, no betting and no casino features. You must not use the App to run or take part in gambling, and you shouldn't rely on it for betting.

8. Changes and Availability

We may update, change or remove features of the App, and the App may sometimes be unavailable. Solo play, the scorer and the rules card work offline.

9. Intellectual Property and Independence

The App and its content, including its name, mark, card art and words, belong to us. The rules are described in our own words, and the card art is our own. You may use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes. Other names (such as Apple and Google) belong to their owners, who don't endorse SpadeTown.

Independent. Not affiliated with any spades league, tournament, publisher or app.

10. Disclaimer and Liability

The App is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for any indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

11. Ending Your Use

You can stop using SpadeTown at any time, and delete your account in the App (Settings → Account → Delete account) or as described on our delete account page. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms.

12. Third-Party Services

SpadeTown works with services such as Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, the App Store, Google Play, RevenueCat, FaceTime and WhatsApp. Your use of them is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. How we handle your data is in our Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. If a change is important, we'll tell you in the App.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales. If you're a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws where you live.
