3. Licence Grant
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable licence to install and use the App solely for your personal entertainment. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. You must not copy, modify, distribute, publicly perform, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from the App except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.
4. Accounts and Credentials
The App uses Google Sign-In for authentication. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must promptly notify us of any unauthorised use. You may delete your account through the in-app deletion feature at any time.

You may submit display names, profile images, or other Content. You grant Puzzle Royale a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, reproduce, display, and otherwise use such Content solely for operating and improving the App. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Content and that it does not infringe or violate any third-party rights.
6. Future Paid Features
The App is presently provided without charge. We may introduce in-app purchases or subscription-based services in the future. If we do so, we will present applicable pricing, billing terms, and refund policies before you complete any purchase. Purchases will be processed through your app store provider, and that provider's terms will govern payment processing and refunds.
7. Third-Party Services
The App integrates with third-party services, including Google Play Services, Google Analytics for Firebase, and Firebase Crashlytics. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms in addition to these Terms:
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- engage in cheating, automation, scripting, or exploitation of bugs or vulnerabilities;
- submit or display Content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or otherwise objectionable;
- harass, threaten, or impersonate other users;
- interfere with or disrupt servers, networks, security features, or access controls.
We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts, revoke in-app items, or delete Content where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached.
9. Availability and Updates
The App requires an active internet connection. Availability may be affected by network outages, device constraints, or third-party service interruptions. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the entire App at any time without liability, subject to applicable consumer-protection laws.
10. Disclaimers
The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Puzzle Royale shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses arising out of or in connection with your use of the App. Our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) EUR 10 or (b) the total amounts you paid to us, if any, in the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability. These limitations do not exclude liability for intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or any matter for which liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

You may cease using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if we discontinue the App, or if required by law. Upon termination, the licence granted to you under Section 3 terminates immediately, and you must uninstall the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in force.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
