Astral Dice Terms of Use

DRAFT FOR COUNSEL REVIEW, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. This repo copy is the review master and is not shipped. The app displays legal/TERMS.md, which carries the same text with {{tokens}} filled from data/studio.json (lines with an empty value are dropped, so no placeholder ever reaches a player). After review, apply the agreed wording to BOTH files, fill data/studio.json, and host the final version at the privacy_url / terms_url given there.

Last updated: [DATE].

1. Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and [STUDIO LEGAL NAME] ("we", "us") about your use of the Astral Dice game ("the Game"). By playing you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Game. The app store you downloaded the Game from (Apple App Store or Google Play) also has its own terms, which apply too.

2. Age

You must be at least 13 years old (16 in some regions, or the age of digital consent where you live) to use the Game. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should review these terms with you.

3. Your licence

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. You may not copy, resell, reverse engineer (except where the law allows it), modify or redistribute the Game or its assets, or use cheats, bots or exploits that interfere with how the Game is meant to work.

4. Virtual items and summoning

• The Game contains virtual currencies (gold, gems) and a random "summon" feature that awards heroes.
• Optional real-money purchases. Gems can be earned by playing or bought in the Shop. The Shop also sells one-time and limited packs (some only once a day, week or month), 30-day passes (a daily gift delivered on the days you play), Remove Ads, a Gem Fund (gems paid out as you clear floors) and Hero Packs (shards for a hero you own). Purchases are processed by your app store under its terms, and prices are shown in your local currency before you confirm.
• Virtual currencies and items, earned or bought, have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for money or transferred, and are not your property; they are part of your licence. Except where the law or the app store's refund policy says otherwise, purchases are final. If a purchase is refunded, the items it delivered are removed if you still have them.
• Players under 18 should ask a parent or guardian before buying. Players under the regional age of digital consent cannot buy. Spending is capped per month for players who have not confirmed they are adults.
• Restore purchases: one-time items (Starter Pack, First Purchase Gift, Remove Ads, Gem Fund, chapter packs) can be restored on a new install (Shop > PURCHASES > RESTORE). Consumed items (gems, passes, Hero Packs) live in this device's save, which we don't back up.
• Ads: the game shows reward videos you choose to watch and occasionally an ad between runs. Rewards are given only for a finished reward video. Remove Ads stops the ads between runs; reward videos stay optional. Ads are provided by Google AdMob (see the Privacy Policy). [COUNSEL]
• Summon odds are disclosed in the Game before you summon (Summon screen > Rates and Details), including the chance of each rarity, the featured-hero rate and the guarantee ("pity") rules. The odds shown are computed from the same data the Game uses to draw.
• Where paid random items are restricted (currently Belgium and the Netherlands), purchased gems cannot be spent on summons.
• [COUNSEL: review the refund / final-sale wording per region (EU 14-day withdrawal waiver for digital content), minors and the monthly cap, and the Moon Pass terms.]

5. Saved data

Your progress is stored only on your device. We cannot recover it if you delete the Game, delete your data in Settings, or lose or reset your device.

6. AI-generated content

Parts of the Game's art, music, sound effects and character voices were created with generative AI tools and edited by the team. Character voices are AI-generated (OpenAI text-to-speech) and are not the voices of real people.

7. Third-party content

The Game includes third-party software and assets under their own licences (for example the Godot Engine under the MIT licence and fonts under the SIL Open Font License). See Settings > Credits.

8. Updates and availability

We may update, change or stop offering the Game or any feature at any time. Some updates may be required to keep playing. The Game downloads content updates (for example new events, banners, balance changes and art) automatically when it is online; they may change drop rates, prices of in-game items or the strength of heroes and enemies, and current rates are always shown in the game. If your app version is too old for the current content, the Game may ask you to update it from your app store before you can keep playing.

9. Disclaimers

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data or virtual items. [COUNSEL: add the jurisdiction-appropriate cap and carve-outs.]

11. Ending the licence

You may stop using the Game at any time by deleting it. We may end your licence if you break these terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without affecting mandatory consumer protections where you live. [COUNSEL: dispute resolution clause.]
