Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms & Eligibility

1. Binding Agreement. These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding contract between you ("you", "your", "Player", "User") and Yash Rayjada, operating as YBR Digital ("we", "us", "our", "the Company") governing your access to and use of Crack The Code: Brain Puzzle ("Crack The Code", "the App", "the Service"), including all content, features, functionality, in-app purchases, and subscription services offered through the App on Android (Google Play Store) and iOS (Apple App Store) platforms.
2. Acceptance. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately cease all use of the App, delete any downloaded content, and uninstall the App from all devices.
3. Eligibility. You represent and warrant that:
   • You are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction for entering into digital contracts — 16 in certain EU/EEA member states).
   • If you are between the applicable minimum age and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you have obtained the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the App and accept these Terms on your behalf.
   • You have the legal capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement.
   • You are not barred from using the App under any applicable law.
4. Modifications to Terms. We reserve the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated through in-app notifications, the App's store listing, or other reasonable means at least 30 days before taking effect. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your binding acceptance thereof.

2. License Grant

1. Limited License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on compatible devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.
2. Restrictions. You may not: (a) copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works based on the App; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of the App; (c) remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices; (d) use the App for any commercial purpose or in any manner not expressly authorized by these Terms; (e) transfer your license or any rights under these Terms to any third party.
3. Reservation of Rights. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by us. This license does not convey any ownership interest in or to the App, its content, or any intellectual property rights.

3. Feature-Specific Usage Terms

3.1 Core Gameplay (1000+ Levels)

1. The App provides over 1,000 progressive logic and deduction levels featuring a numeric code-breaking engine. Level content, difficulty calibration, and progression structure are determined solely at our discretion and may be modified, reordered, expanded, or retired at any time without prior notice.
2. Your gameplay progress is stored exclusively on your device using local storage (SQLite / SharedPreferences). The App does not offer cloud synchronization; therefore, uninstalling the App will permanently delete all progress, and progress cannot be transferred between devices. We do not guarantee the perpetual availability of any specific level or content.

3.2 Daily Challenges & Streak Mechanics

1. Daily Puzzles. The App offers timed daily puzzle challenges that refresh on a calendar-day basis. Completion of daily puzzles is recorded locally for streak tracking and performance analytics purposes.
2. Streak Counters & Recovery. Streak maintenance is contingent upon: (a) completion of the daily puzzle within the designated calendar day as determined by server-time validation (not your local device clock); (b) the integrity and proper configuration of your device's system clock. Manipulation of your device's date/time settings to artificially extend, restore, or inflate streaks constitutes a violation of Section 7 (Prohibited Conduct) and may result in streak reset and/or account sanctions.
3. Streak Freeze. Streak freeze items (available to VIP Gold subscribers and via in-game coin purchases) allow preservation of a streak for a missed day. Streak freeze availability, mechanics, and cooldowns are subject to change at our discretion.
4. No Guarantee of Continuity. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of daily puzzles. Streaks may be affected by server maintenance, platform outages, device changes, operating system updates, or other events beyond our reasonable control. We shall not be liable for any streak loss or reset resulting from such events. Since all streak data is stored locally, uninstalling the App will permanently delete all streak records.

3.3 Smart Hints & Lifeline Systems

1. Consumable Nature. Hints and lifelines — including Number Position Reveal, Eliminator tools, and Solution Unlocks — are consumable digital assets. Once activated during gameplay, they are immediately consumed and cannot be recovered, refunded, or reversed regardless of the gameplay outcome.
2. Acquisition. Hints and lifelines may be acquired through: (a) in-game coin expenditure; (b) rewarded video advertisement viewing; (c) VIP Gold subscription daily bonuses; (d) promotional grants at our discretion. The specific cost, availability, and mechanics of hint systems are subject to change.

3.4 Player Statistics & Performance Analytics

1. The App tracks and displays various performance metrics including solve rates, time tracking, accuracy percentages, performance graphs, and milestone achievements. These statistics are stored locally on your device and are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.
2. We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of statistical data, particularly in the event of application updates or local storage corruption. Since statistics are stored exclusively on-device, uninstalling the App or clearing app data will permanently and irreversibly delete all statistics.

4. Virtual Goods & In-Game Currency (Coins / Lifelines)

1. Legal Definition. In-game Coins, Credits, hints, lifelines, and any other virtual items (collectively, "Virtual Goods") are limited license rights governed by these Terms. Virtual Goods are not real currency, do not have real-world monetary value, and do not constitute personal property. Your acquisition of Virtual Goods grants you a limited, non-transferable, revocable right to use such items within the App, subject to these Terms.
2. No Monetary Value or Redemption. Virtual Goods cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or converted into real-world currency, gift cards, credit, or any other form of monetary value. You acknowledge and agree that Virtual Goods have no cash value outside the App ecosystem.
3. Non-Transferability. You may not sell, trade, transfer, gift, barter, or otherwise convey Virtual Goods to any other person, whether inside or outside the App. Any attempt to transfer Virtual Goods in violation of this provision is void, constitutes a material breach of these Terms, and may result in permanent account termination.
4. No Peer-to-Peer Trading. The App does not support and expressly prohibits peer-to-peer trading, off-platform sales, or any third-party marketplace transactions involving Virtual Goods. Participation in such activities may result in immediate forfeiture of all Virtual Goods and account termination.
5. Forfeiture. All Virtual Goods are stored locally on your device only and are forfeited immediately upon:
   • Account Termination: Whether initiated by you or by us pursuant to Section 12.
   • Application Uninstall: Since the App does not offer cloud backup or synchronization, uninstalling the App will permanently and irreversibly delete all coin balances, unused hints, lifelines, and any other Virtual Goods. This data cannot be recovered.
   • Clearing App Data: Manually clearing the App's data through device settings will permanently delete all Virtual Goods.
   • Service Discontinuation: If we discontinue the App or specific Virtual Goods features, subject to applicable consumer protection laws.
6. Modification Rights. We reserve the right to modify, manage, regulate, control, or eliminate Virtual Goods at our sole discretion, including adjusting coin earning rates, hint costs, lifeline mechanics, and reward structures. We shall have no liability to you or any third party for the exercise of such rights.

5. VIP Gold & Premium Subscriptions

4. We do not warrant the preservation of gameplay progress, streak data, coin balances, or any other game state data, particularly in the event of device changes, operating system updates, app updates, or technical failures.

9.2 Limitation of Liability

   • Damages arising from third-party services (including ad networks, analytics platforms, or platform stores);
   WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
