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 is currently free to download and play and is supported by advertising. If the Service Provider introduces in-app purchases, subscriptions, or virtual items in the future, additional terms and pricing will apply and will be presented to you at the point of purchase. All purchases are processed by the applicable app store (Google Play or the Apple App Store), and refunds are subject to that store's policies.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.
