Puzzle themes, word groupings, and other game content are provided for your personal enjoyment and may not be reproduced, redistributed, or used commercially without prior written permission.

The Application may let you generate and share results, such as a colored grid representing your guesses. By sharing such content, you are responsible for how and where you share it. You retain ownership of content you create, and you grant the Service Provider a limited license to operate the sharing features as intended. The Service Provider is not responsible for content once it has been shared by you to third-party platforms.

7. Advertising

The Application is supported by advertising and displays ads served through third-party networks, including ironSource (Unity LevelPlay) and Meta Audience Network. Advertisements, including their content, products, and links, are provided by third parties. The Service Provider does not endorse and is not responsible for any advertiser, advertised product or service, or third-party website you access through an ad. Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.

For details on how advertising data is collected and your choices, see our Privacy Policy at /quadle/privacy.

8. Purchases and Virtual Items

The Application offers consumable in-app purchases. Current offerings include coin packs (for example, 100 coins or 500 coins). All purchases are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store under their respective terms and conditions.

Coins are virtual currency. Coins have no real-world cash value, are non-transferable, and cannot be exchanged for real money.
Coins are non-refundable once spent in-game. Refund requests for unspent coins are subject to the refund policy of the applicable app store (Google Play or the Apple App Store), not the Service Provider.
Cloud backup. If you sign in with Google, your coin balance may be restored from your cloud backup. This is not guaranteed and may not be available in all circumstances.
Pricing and availability. The Service Provider reserves the right to change pricing, modify coin pack offerings, or discontinue products at any time.

9. Virtual Currency (Coins)

Coins are an in-app virtual currency used to purchase in-game items such as hints, reveal-all, and heart refills. Coins can be earned by watching rewarded ads or acquired through in-app purchase.

Coins have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for real money or transferred to another user.
Coins are non-refundable once spent in-game.
If the Application is discontinued, any unused coins may be forfeited without compensation.

10. Push Notifications

The Application may request permission to send you push notifications, such as daily puzzle reminders, streak alerts, and hearts-refill alerts.

You can grant or revoke notification permission at any time in your device settings.
Disabling notifications does not affect core gameplay or other Application features.
See our Privacy Policy at /quadle/privacy for details on how your FCM token is stored and used to deliver notifications.

11. Third-Party Services

The Application uses third-party services (such as Google Play Services, Firebase, ironSource/Unity, and Meta Audience Network) that are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Your use of the Application may be subject to those terms in addition to these Terms.

12. Availability and Updates

The Service Provider may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Application or any of its features at any time, with or without notice. Updates may be required for continued use. The Service Provider does not guarantee that the Application will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Application is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. The Service Provider does not warrant that the Application will meet your requirements or be free of defects, errors, or interruptions.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Application. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, it shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Application or your violation of these Terms or of applicable law.

16. Termination

The Service Provider may suspend or terminate your access to the Application at any time, without notice, if you breach these Terms. You may stop using the Application at any time by uninstalling it. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to applicable law, the courts located in Maharashtra, India shall have jurisdiction over any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Application. Where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence apply, nothing in these Terms removes the protections to which you are entitled.

18. Changes to These Terms

The Service Provider may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting the updated Terms with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Application after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
