These Terms govern your use of every game published by Play Sparrow (including Final Blaster, Claim Jumpers, Ricochet Lab, Coin Heros, Realm Defenders, Darklin Wars, and any game we release in the future; each a "Game") and of our website at play-sparrow.com. By downloading, accessing, or playing a Game, or using our website, you agree to these Terms and to the applicable terms of the store from which you obtained the Game. Not every Game includes every feature described here; where a Game does not include a feature, the related terms simply do not apply to that Game.
1. Publisher and Agreement
Our Games and website are published by Sparrow Enterprises, doing business as Play Sparrow ("Play Sparrow," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms are between you and Sparrow Enterprises, not Apple or Google. Questions may be sent to matt@sparrowia.com.
On Apple platforms, each Game is also licensed under Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple Standard EULA"). These Terms supplement that license. On Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. If these Terms conflict with applicable platform terms or mandatory law, those platform terms or mandatory law control to the extent of the conflict.
2. Eligibility
You must be legally able to agree to these Terms. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you and is responsible for your use. Our Games are not directed to children under 13. Some online features, such as chat or clans, may carry a higher minimum age stated in the Game.
3. License and Acceptable Use
Subject to these Terms and any applicable platform terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use each Game for noncommercial entertainment on compatible devices you own or control, as permitted by the applicable platform rules.
You may not:
- copy, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit a Game or our website;
- reverse engineer, decompile, modify, or create derivative works except where applicable law expressly permits it;
- cheat, use bots, macros, or modified clients, exploit bugs, manipulate scores or game state, interfere with leaderboards or servers, or bypass gameplay, purchase, advertising, or security systems;
- harass, threaten, impersonate, or abuse other players, or post content that is unlawful, hateful, sexual, or infringing, in any name, chat, clan, or other shared feature;
- use a Game or our website to violate law, infringe rights, transmit malicious code, collect other players' information, or disrupt another person or service;
- share, sell, or transfer a game account, or access another player's account; or
- misrepresent your identity, age, or your authority to make a purchase.
4. Game Accounts and Cloud Save
Some Games create an anonymous game account on first launch and store your progress on our servers. You are responsible for the device and platform credentials that restore that account. We may offer optional linking to Sign in with Apple, Google, Game Center, or Google Play Games to secure an account; if you do not link one, we may be unable to recover an account whose device credential is lost. Progress stored only on your device is your responsibility to back up. We may suspend or delete accounts that violate these Terms or that have been inactive for 24 months, after reasonable notice where practical.
5. Gameplay and Virtual Items
Games may include weapons, ships, cards, upgrades, currencies, extra lives, progression, scores, daily rewards, and other virtual game content ("Virtual Items"). Virtual Items are licensed game features. They have no cash value, are not property or currency, and may not be sold, transferred, or redeemed for money outside the Game.
We may adjust game balance, difficulty, rewards, availability, prices, or other gameplay systems to maintain and improve a Game. We will not intentionally remove an active paid non-consumable entitlement except where required by law, platform rules, refunds, fraud prevention, or termination for a material violation of these Terms.
6. Purchases
Purchases are offered and processed through Apple In-App Purchase or Google Play Billing. The store displays the price and applicable taxes before you confirm a purchase, handles payment, and controls refunds under its policies. We do not receive your complete payment-card information.
- Non-consumable purchases (for example an ad-removal offer or a permanent unlock) are one-time purchases and are eligible for restoration through the store's Restore Purchases feature on the same platform.
- Consumable purchases (for example packs of items, currency, cards, or extra lives) are used when spent in gameplay and are not restorable through the store's restore process.
- Subscriptions. A Game may offer an auto-renewing subscription. Its price, duration, renewal, and cancellation terms are shown before purchase, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple or Google account settings. A subscription renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Purchased Virtual Items do not expire merely because of inactivity, but they are consumed when used. Where a Game stores inventory only on your device, deleting the app, clearing its data, or losing the device may erase unspent consumable balances that the store cannot restore. Where a Game stores inventory in a game account, balances are restored with that account. You are responsible for securing your device and platform account. Contact Apple or Google for billing or refund requests and contact us for game-side entitlement support.
7. Advertising and Rewards
Free Games may display banner and interstitial ads and may offer optional rewarded ads. Ad availability depends on third-party advertising providers, network access, location, inventory, and eligibility and is not guaranteed. A rewarded-ad benefit is granted when the advertising provider reports successful completion. Closing or interrupting an ad before that event may prevent the reward from being granted. The collection and use of information for advertising is described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Online Features, Multiplayer, and Player Content
Games may include leaderboards, friends, shared online worlds, multiplayer, chat, clans, and similar features. Call signs, display names, chat messages, clan names, and other content you create ("Player Content") may be visible to other players. You are responsible for your Player Content and grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and moderate it as needed to operate the Game. We may, but are not obliged to, review, filter, rename, or remove Player Content, and may correct or remove scores, progress, or items that appear fraudulent, impossible, abusive, or the result of a technical error. Online features may require a network connection and may be changed or discontinued.
9. Third-Party Services
Games may use Apple StoreKit, Google Play Billing, Game Center, Google Play Games, advertising networks, hosting and content-generation providers, and other third-party services. Your use of those services is also subject to their terms and policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party service availability, accounts, content, or decisions.
10. Updates and Availability
We may provide updates that fix defects, change features, or are required for continued operation, and a Game may require an update to keep using online features. Games, servers, and external services may occasionally be unavailable. We may change, suspend, or discontinue all or part of any Game or online feature where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and platform rules. We do not promise that every feature, ad, leaderboard, or online service will always be available.
11. Ownership and Feedback
Each Game and our website, including software, artwork, audio, text, gameplay content, names, logos, and related intellectual property, is owned by Sparrow Enterprises or its licensors. These Terms grant only the limited right to use the Games described above. No ownership rights are transferred to you. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.
12. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how our Games and website handle information. It is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
13. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using a Game and delete it at any time. Your license may terminate automatically if you materially violate these Terms or applicable platform terms. We may take reasonable steps to protect our Games and their players, including rejecting manipulated scores, removing Player Content, restricting access to online features, and suspending or terminating game accounts. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including ownership, disclaimers, liability limitations, and dispute terms, will survive.
14. Disclaimers and Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Game and our website are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties beyond those that cannot legally be excluded. Use of the Games is at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sparrow Enterprises will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, progress, Virtual Items, or profits, and our total liability for all claims relating to a Game will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for that Game in the twelve months before the claim or fifty U.S. dollars. Additional warranty disclaimers and liability limits in applicable platform terms may also apply.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits rights, warranties, or remedies that applicable consumer law does not allow us to exclude or limit. Apple and Google have no responsibility for maintenance or support beyond their respective platform obligations and applicable law.
15. Governing Terms and Disputes
The governing-law and dispute provisions in applicable platform terms apply. Otherwise these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If mandatory consumer law in your country gives you additional rights or permits claims in your local courts, those rights are not displaced by these Terms. Before filing a formal claim against us, please contact us and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the issue informally.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms when our Games, purchases, services, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised Terms here and update the effective date. If a material change requires consent, we will request it as required by law. Continued use after an otherwise effective update constitutes acceptance where permitted.
