Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Gully Royale ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the Gully Royale mobile game, this website and related services (together, the "Game"). By downloading, installing, accessing or playing the Game you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not download or play the Game.

If you downloaded the Game from the Apple App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the extent it is not inconsistent with these Terms, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Game and is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to it, including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims; those are our responsibility as set out here.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the higher minimum age of digital consent in your country, to play. If you are a minor where you live, you may only play if your parent or legal guardian reviews and accepts these Terms on your behalf and supervises your use, including any purchases. We may restrict availability of the Game in certain territories.

3. Your licence to play

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, solely for your own private, non-commercial entertainment, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the app store you obtained it from. Except as permitted by law that cannot be contractually excluded, you may not:

• Copy, modify, translate, adapt or create derivative works of the Game.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to extract the source code, assets or data of the Game.
• Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit the Game or access to it.
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices.

4. Accounts

Some features, such as cloud backup, require signing in through a supported identity provider (Google or Apple) where offered on your platform. You agree that:

• You will keep your sign-in method secure and not share access to your account.
• You are responsible for all activity under your account.
• You will tell us promptly at master.taherm@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorised use.
• One account is for one person. Accounts may not be sold, transferred, gifted or traded, and doing so may result in suspension of the account.

You can delete your account at any time from the in-game Settings, subject to re-authentication for your protection, or by contacting us. Deletion is permanent and includes your progress, collection, virtual items and currencies.

5. Internet connection and service requirements

The Game is an online game. It requires an active internet connection to play, including to verify your saved data, synchronise progress and confirm server time. If your device is offline, or if your device clock or saved data fails our integrity checks, the Game may pause, restrict features or refuse to load a save until the issue is resolved. We are not responsible for network charges from your carrier or for unavailability caused by your connection.

6. Virtual items and virtual currency

The Game contains virtual cards, packs, cosmetics, and currencies such as coins, gems and event tokens (together, "Virtual Items"). You acknowledge and agree that:

• Virtual Items are licensed to you for use inside the Game. They are not your property, have no real-world monetary value, and cannot be redeemed, exchanged or cashed out for real money or anything of value outside the Game.
• Virtual Items may not be sold, traded, gifted or transferred outside features we provide, whether for money or otherwise. Third-party "real money trading" is prohibited.
• We may add, modify, rebalance, reprice or retire Virtual Items, drop rates, events and game modes at any time as part of operating a live game.
• Limited-time content is exactly that: events, modes and cards may be available only for a stated window and may end, change or return at our discretion.
• Virtual Items are forfeited without compensation if your account is deleted, terminated for breach, or if the Game is discontinued, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

The Game is designed without pay-to-win mechanics: every card tier can be earned through play, and spending only accelerates collection. This is a design intention, not a warranty of specific outcomes or drop results.

6.1 Optional rewarded ads

The Game offers optional rewarded video ads that grant Virtual Items when you choose to watch them. These are always your choice: the reward is stated before you tap, declining costs you nothing you already had, and no part of the Game is locked behind watching an ad. The Game does not show banner or interstitial ads.

• The number of rewarded ads you can watch per day is capped, and the caps, offers and rewards may change as we balance the Game.
• Ads are supplied by a third-party network and we cannot guarantee one is always available. If no ad is available, the offer simply does not appear.
• If an ad fails to complete through no fault of your own and the reward is not granted, contact us and we will look into it. We may withhold rewards where we reasonably determine an ad reward was obtained by fraud, automation or tampering.
• What advertising partners collect, and the choices you have, are described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Purchases, billing and refunds

• All in-app purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under their payment terms. We never receive your payment card details.
• Prices are shown before purchase and may change. Prices may vary by region and platform.
• Purchases of Virtual Items are final and non-refundable, except as required by applicable law or by the refund policy of the relevant app store. Refund requests must be made through the store you purchased from (Apple's "Report a Problem" or Google Play's refund process).
• If a purchase fails to deliver, contact us at master.taherm@gmail.com with the store receipt and we will investigate.
• If you are a minor, you confirm that your parent or guardian consented to the purchase. Parents can use platform-level purchase controls (Ask to Buy, purchase PIN) to manage spending.

7.1 Season passes (the Gully Pass)

The Game may offer a season pass, currently called the Gully Pass. Because a season pass works differently from an ordinary one-off purchase, these terms apply to it specifically:

• It is not a subscription. A season pass is a one-time unlock for a single named season. Nothing auto-renews, nothing recurring is charged, and there is no subscription to cancel. If you want the pass for a following season, you buy it again for that season.
• A season is one calendar month, running from the first day of the month to the end of that month, measured in Indian Standard Time. The season you are in is shown in the Game.
• Reward tiers are earned by playing, not by paying. Buying the pass unlocks the paid reward track; it does not skip you up the tiers. Tiers are climbed by playing matches, and there is a limit on how many tiers can be climbed in a single day, shown in the Game.
• Buying late does not cost you tiers. If you buy the pass part-way through a season, every tier you have already reached becomes claimable immediately.
• Rewards you earned but did not claim are granted to you automatically when the season ends, so unclaimed tier rewards are not lost at the rollover. Rewards tied to a specific day, such as a daily pack, must be claimed on that day.
• Progress does not carry over. When a new season starts, tier progress resets and the paid track locks again. Rewards already granted to your account stay yours.
• To avoid a purchase landing on the wrong season, the pass cannot be bought in the last few minutes before a season ends.
• The contents, tier count, pricing and reward structure of a season pass may differ between seasons. What a season contains is shown in the Game before you buy.

8. Fair play and prohibited conduct

The Game uses technical protections, including cryptographic save-data seals, clock verification and economy audit checks, to keep play fair. You agree not to:

• Use cheats, exploits, automation, bots, scripts, mods or any unauthorised third-party software that interacts with the Game.
• Modify, forge or tamper with saved data, network traffic, device clock settings or in-game balances, or attempt to bypass integrity, authentication or anti-cheat measures.
• Exploit bugs for gain. If you find a bug, report it to us rather than abusing it.
• Access or attempt to access our servers, other players' accounts or non-public areas of the Game.
• Interfere with the operation of the Game, including through denial-of-service, scraping or reverse proxying.
• Use the Game for gambling, commercial promotion or any unlawful purpose.

Enforcement. If we reasonably determine that you have breached this section, we may take proportionate action without prior notice, including correcting balances, rolling back or resetting progress, removing Virtual Items, suspending features or permanently terminating your account. Where the breach involves purchased content, no refund is owed for items lost to enforcement, except where law requires otherwise.

9. Ownership and intellectual property

The Game and everything in it, including software, artwork, card designs, characters, names, statistics, logos, text, audio and the "Gully Royale" name and mark, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.

Fictional content. All players, teams, franchises, crests and competitions in the Game are fictional creations. Any resemblance to real persons, teams, leagues or organisations is not an affiliation. Gully Royale is an independent game and is not licensed by, endorsed by, sponsored by or associated with any cricket board, league, franchise, team or real individual.

10. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you. Do not send us ideas you consider confidential.

11. Updates, availability and discontinuation

We may release updates, patches and new content, and may require you to install the latest version to keep playing. We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Game at any time. For a permanent shutdown of the Game we will aim to give reasonable advance notice in the Game or on this site. As a live online service, availability is not guaranteed and downtime, maintenance and errors may occur.

12. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, progress or Virtual Items; and (b) our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Game is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us through the Game in the 12 months before the claim arose, or INR 5,000. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is not permitted.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against claims, damages and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Game, except to the extent caused by our own fault.

15. Termination

You may stop playing and delete the Game and your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with notice where practicable, if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law or a platform, or if we discontinue the Game. On termination your licence ends and sections that by their nature should survive (including sections 6, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 16) continue to apply.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over disputes, except that if the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings there or to the protection of its rules, these Terms do not take that right away. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us first at master.taherm@gmail.com; most issues can be resolved quickly and informally.

17. General

• Changes. We may revise these Terms. We will update the effective date and, for material changes, give notice in the Game or on this site. Continued play after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop playing and delete your account.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest of the Terms remain in effect and the provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Game.
