Terms & Conditions
The rules for using Gazetica games and services.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using any Gazetica game or visiting gazetica.com (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
These Terms are a legal agreement between you and Voraky Retail LLP ("Gazetica", "we", "us", or "our"), the operator of Gazetica Studio.
2. Licence to Use
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use our Games for your personal, non-commercial entertainment on Android devices you own or control.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Games
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the Games
- Use the Games for any commercial purpose without our written consent
- Use cheats, exploits, automation software, bots, or any unauthorised third-party software
3. In-App Purchases
Our games offer optional in-app purchases, including "Remove Ads" (a non-consumable purchase that permanently removes advertising from the game) and "Hint Packs" (consumable purchases that grant in-game hints).
All payments are processed by Google Play. By making a purchase, you also agree to Google Play's Terms of Service. We do not store your payment information.
Refunds: Refund requests for in-app purchases must be submitted directly to Google Play within the refund window permitted by Google Play's refund policy. We are unable to process refunds directly. For assistance, contact us at support@gazetica.com and we will do our best to help.
Remove Ads: The "Remove Ads" purchase removes third-party advertising from the game on the device on which it is purchased. It is tied to your Google Play account and can be restored on reinstallation via the "Restore Purchases" option.
No pay-to-win: No purchase affects gameplay balance, level difficulty, or competitive leaderboard rankings. All purchases are convenience or preference items only.
4. Leaderboards and User Alias
Our games include anonymous global leaderboards. To participate, you choose a player alias (nickname) of up to 16 characters. No account, email address, or real name is required.
By submitting a score to a leaderboard, you agree that:
- Your chosen alias and score will be publicly visible to all players
- Your alias must not contain offensive, abusive, or inappropriate content
- We reserve the right to remove any alias or score that violates these Terms without notice
- Scores achieved through cheating, exploits, or manipulation will be removed
5. Advertising
Our games are free to play and funded by advertising via Google AdMob. Ads are displayed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable laws, including GDPR for EU/EEA/UK users.
You may permanently remove advertising from a game by purchasing the "Remove Ads" product. You may also adjust your ad personalisation preferences at any time via the "Ad Preferences" option in the game's About screen.
6. Intellectual Property
All content in the Games and on gazetica.com — including but not limited to game mechanics, graphics, sounds, text, logos, and code — is the property of Voraky Retail LLP or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
"Gazetica" and all related game titles and logos are trademarks of Voraky Retail LLP. You may not use our trademarks without our prior written consent.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Games and Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Games will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.
We do not guarantee that leaderboard data will be retained indefinitely and reserve the right to reset or modify leaderboards at any time.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Voraky Retail LLP shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Games or Services, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, or loss of goodwill.
Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or INR 100, whichever is greater.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Games at any time if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, all licences granted to you will immediately cease. You may stop using the Games at any time by uninstalling them.
10. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Games after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
