CardsSuch

Terms of Use

Effective .

Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Mark Isayan, the individual developer who makes and publishes Cards & Such (“we”, “us”). They cover the Cards & Such app on iPhone and Android (the “app”) and this website. By installing or using the app, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

Who can play

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age to use online services where you live if that is higher. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the app and make purchases only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these terms on your behalf.

Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the app on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment, under these terms and the rules of the app store you got it from. The app is licensed to you, not sold.

Accounts

  • Guest accounts. You can start playing as a guest. A guest account can be reached only from the phone it was created on. If you delete the app, sign out, reset or lose your phone before saving it, the guest account and everything in it can be lost for good, and we can’t recover it.
  • Saving your account. You can save a guest account at any time by linking it to Sign in with Apple (or Google sign-in on Android, once available). Your collection stays with the account and can be restored by signing in with the same Apple or Google account on another phone.
  • One collection per sign-in. If the Apple or Google account you choose already has a Cards & Such collection, you can sign in to that collection instead, but the guest collection can’t be merged into it.
  • Buying packs needs a saved account. Guest accounts can’t make purchases.
  • You’re responsible for keeping your Apple or Google account secure and for activity on your Cards & Such account. Tell us right away if you think someone else has accessed it.

Virtual items

The app includes virtual items: cards (including shiny and prism versions), dust, packs and pack credits, streaks, rewards and badges (“virtual items”).

  • Virtual items are a limited licence to use content inside the app. They are not your property and you don’t own them.
  • Virtual items have no real-money value. They can’t be sold, traded, transferred, exchanged for money or anything of value, or cashed out, inside or outside the app. The app has no trading between players.
  • We may change how virtual items work, for example the rewards, dust amounts, crafting costs or which collections are in packs. Pack odds are always shown in the app.
  • Unless the law requires otherwise, virtual items are lost if your account is deleted or terminated, and we don’t refund them.

Packs and purchases

  • How packs work. Each pack shows three different cards picked at random. You keep one, and the others melt into dust. Once a pack is revealed its cards are fixed: closing the app, retrying or losing your connection never rerolls it.
  • Free and bonus packs. A free pack becomes available again after a cooldown shown in the app. Bonus packs are earned through the welcome gift, streaks and collection rewards described in the app.
  • Odds. The chances of each rarity and of a prism card are shown on the Odds screen in the app (Settings, then Odds and rewards, or View Odds in the Store) before you buy. They come from the same settings our server uses to generate packs.
  • Paid packs are consumable in-app purchases, processed by Apple’s App Store or Google Play. Prices are shown in the store’s purchase sheet. Paid packs use the same rules and odds as the free pack; you choose which collection they come from. Unopened paid packs are kept as credits on your account.
  • Credits are added only after our server has verified the purchase with the store. If a purchase is interrupted, the app finishes it the next time it opens; if your packs still don’t appear, see Support.
  • Where paid packs are offered. Paid packs are not offered in Belgium or Brazil, and purchases from store accounts in those countries are not granted. We may change where paid packs are offered to follow local law.
  • Except as described under Refunds or where the law says otherwise, purchases are final. There is no premium currency, and nothing in the app can be bought back once spent.

Refunds

Payments are handled by Apple or Google, so refunds are too, under their policies. We can’t issue refunds ourselves. To ask for one, use Apple’s Report a Problem or the Google Play refund process.

When a purchase is refunded, we take back the refunded packs you haven’t opened yet. Your unopened paid pack credits never go below zero. Nothing in these terms takes away refund or withdrawal rights you have under consumer law.

Fair play

Play fair. You agree not to:

  • cheat, or use bugs or exploits to gain cards, dust, packs or rewards (please report them to us instead);
  • modify, decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble the app, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
  • use bots, scripts, automation or modified clients to play or to talk to our servers;
  • interfere with, overload or try to get unauthorised access to the app, our servers or other players’ accounts;
  • sell, buy or transfer accounts or virtual items, or offer to;
  • use the app for anything unlawful.

If we find cheating or abuse, we may remove virtual items gained that way, and suspend or close the account involved.

Our content

The app, its cards, artwork, games, sounds, names and code belong to us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These terms don’t give you any rights to them beyond the licence above. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.

Changes to the game

We keep working on the game, so we may add, change or remove features, cards, collections, games and rewards, and we may suspend or stop the app. If we decide to shut the app down, we’ll try to give reasonable notice in the app first. Because virtual items have no real-money value, we don’t refund them when the game changes or ends, unless the law requires it.

Suspension and termination

You can stop using the app at any time and delete your account in the app’s Settings, or ask us to (see Deleting your account). We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other players or the service. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as virtual items, disclaimers and limitation of liability, continue to apply after your account ends.

Third-party services

Sign-in and payments are provided by Apple and Google, and purchases are verified through RevenueCat. Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms. If you got the app from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply.

Disclaimers

The app is a game provided for entertainment “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available, or that your data or virtual items will never be lost.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, virtual items, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for in-app purchases in the 12 months before the claim.

Some places don’t allow these exclusions or limits, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

If you got the app from Apple

If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”) applies, and these terms add to it. If they conflict on something the Apple EULA covers, the Apple EULA applies. You also agree that:

  • These terms are between you and Mark Isayan only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • Your licence lets you use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the app, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
  • If a third party claims that the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
  • You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when using the app, such as your mobile data plan.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, once you accept them, may enforce them against you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We’ll post the new version here and change the effective date. If a change is significant, we’ll also tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using the app after that, you accept the updated terms.

General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the app. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a part right away, we haven’t given up the right to do so later. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours, for example if the game is taken over by someone else, as long as your rights aren’t reduced.
