Terms of Service — Arrow Zoo: Escape & Rescue

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Amit Debnath, an individual developer operating as LiteMind Studio ("we", "us"), about your use of the mobile game Arrow Zoo: Escape & Rescue (the "Game"). By downloading, installing or playing the Game you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Game.

1. Who can play

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Game. If you are under 18, please don't download or play it.

2. About the Game

Arrow Zoo is a free puzzle game. Tap an arrow and it flies off the board along its own path, as long as nothing is in the way. Clear every arrow to open the cage and rescue the animal inside, then collect the animals you rescue in My Zoo. The Game also offers a Daily Rescue puzzle and timed levels.

The Game is for entertainment only. It does not involve real money, gambling or wagering.

3. Your licence to play

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and play the Game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment, in line with these Terms and the Google Play Terms of Service.

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, decompile, reverse-engineer or create derivative works of the Game, except where the law allows it;
• cheat, use bots, exploits, modified clients or automation, or interfere with ads, purchases, leaderboards or achievements;
• generate fake ad views or clicks;
• use the Game for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that harms the Game, other players or us;
• remove or change any copyright, trademark or licence notices.

4. Coins and other virtual items

The Game uses coins that you earn by playing and spend on hints. Coins, stars, rescued animals and other in-game items:

• have no real-world monetary value, can't be bought with money, exchanged for money or anything of value, and can't be sold or transferred;
• are licensed to you (not owned), and we may change, rebalance or remove them as the Game evolves.

5. Purchases ("Remove ads")

• The Game offers one optional in-app purchase, "Remove ads", a one-time purchase that turns off the banner ad and the full-screen ads between levels on the Google Play account you bought it with. Optional "watch an ad" rewards stay available because you choose to watch them.
• Purchases are made and processed through Google Play and are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service and Google Play's refund policies. Prices are shown in the Game and on Google Play, including any taxes where required.
• Refunds are handled by Google Play according to its policies, except where local law gives you other rights. If a purchase is refunded, we may remove what it unlocked.
• You can restore your purchase on a new device with Settings → Restore purchases while signed in to the same Google Play account.

6. Ads and rewards

The Game is free to play and supported by ads provided by Google AdMob: a banner, full-screen ads between levels, and optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch for a hint, to keep going after a failed level, or for double coins.

• A reward is given only after the ad finishes. Closing an ad early gives no reward.
• Ads are supplied by Google and need an internet connection, so they are not always available. We can't guarantee that an ad, and therefore a reward, will be available at any given time or place.
• Ad content comes from third parties, and we are not responsible for third-party products or services advertised.

Your choices about personalised ads are described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Google Play Games

Sign-in, achievements, leaderboards and cloud save are provided by Google Play Games Services and are subject to Google's terms. Your gamer name and scores may be visible to other players as set in your Play Games settings. We don't guarantee that cloud save will always be available or will never lose data.

8. Third-party services

The Game uses Google services that have their own terms:

• Google AdMob: https://developers.google.com/admob/terms
• Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/terms
• Google Play, Play Games and Play Billing: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/ and https://policies.google.com/terms

We are not responsible for the content, accuracy or practices of third-party services. Your dealings with them and with advertisers are between you and them.

9. Our content

The Game, including its code, levels, design, text, graphics and sounds, belongs to Amit Debnath (LiteMind Studio) or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Some artwork and fonts are used under open-source licences (for example, Microsoft Fluent Emoji under the MIT licence and fonts under the SIL Open Font License); these are listed in Settings → Licences. "Google Play" and "Google Play Games" are trademarks of Google LLC.

10. Changes, updates and availability

We may update, change, suspend or stop the Game or any feature at any time, for example to fix bugs, add content, rebalance difficulty or comply with the law. Some updates may be required to keep playing. We are not obliged to keep the Game available in any country or on any device.

11. Ending these Terms

You can stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your licence if you break these Terms, or where the law or Google Play requires it. Sections 4, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 15 continue after the Terms end.

14. Indemnity

To the extent allowed by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amit Debnath (LiteMind Studio) from any claims, damages, losses or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Game in breach of these Terms, or from your violation of anyone else's rights.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be subject to the courts of Kolkata, West Bengal, India, except where the law of your country gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll post the new version at this address with a new "Last updated" date, and announce significant changes in the Game or on its Google Play listing. If you keep playing after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

17. Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of these Terms stays in full force and effect.

18. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game and replace any earlier agreements about it. Google Play's own terms also apply to your use of Google Play.

By installing or playing Arrow Zoo, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms of Service.
