Terms of Use
Effective Date: 2025-12-12
These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between Solitaire ("we," "us," or "our") and you ("User," "you") regarding your download, installation, and use of the Solitaire mobile application ("App") available exclusively on the Apple App Store. By 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, Apple's App Store Terms of Service, and all applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to the Mobile Internet Application Information Service Management Regulations).
To use the App, you must: (a) be at least 13 years of age; (b) have a valid Apple ID in good standing; (c) comply with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws; and (d) provide accurate and truthful information when using App features that require registration. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you must obtain parental or guardian consent before using the App. We reserve the right to verify your eligibility and restrict access to the App if we reasonably believe you do not meet these requirements.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license does not include: (a) redistribution, reproduction, or modification of the App; (b) reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or attempting to extract the source code of the App; (c) renting, leasing, lending, or sublicensing the App to any third party; (d) using the App for commercial purposes or in violation of applicable laws; or (e) using the App to develop a competing product or service.
All intellectual property rights in and to the App (including but not limited to software, code, graphics, logos, text, and game mechanics) are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you, and we retain all rights not expressly granted herein.
You agree to use the App in a manner consistent with applicable laws and the following rules. Violation of these rules may result in immediate termination of your access to the App and potential legal liability:
• Prohibited Conduct: You shall not use the App to engage in, facilitate, or promote any illegal, unethical, or harmful activity, including but not limited to fraud, harassment, defamation, copyright infringement, distribution of malware, or violation of others' privacy rights.
• Technical Integrity: You shall not interfere with the App's functionality, security, or performance, including but not limited to using bots, cheats, hacks, or other automated tools to manipulate game outcomes, generate artificial scores, or gain unfair advantages. You shall not attempt to access restricted portions of the App or our servers without authorization.
• Account Security: If you create an account or use "Sign in with Apple" to access the App, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You shall immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account.
• Content Responsibility: The App may allow you to submit or share limited user-generated content (e.g., game progress screenshots). You warrant that any content you submit does not violate third-party rights or applicable laws, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute such content for App-related purposes.
• Device Compliance: You shall ensure that your device meets the App's minimum system requirements and that you keep your device's operating system and the App updated to the latest version to maintain security and functionality. We are not responsible for App malfunctions caused by outdated devices or operating systems.
The App may offer optional in-app purchases ("IAPs") for premium features (e.g., ad-free experience, custom card designs, or advanced game modes). All IAPs are processed exclusively through the Apple App Store, and Apple's payment terms and conditions shall apply. By making an IAP, you acknowledge that: (a) all IAPs are final and non-refundable, except as required by law or Apple's refund policies; (b) IAPs grant you access to the purchased features but do not transfer ownership of any intellectual property; and (c) we reserve the right to modify the pricing and availability of IAPs at any time, with prior notice where required by law.
If you believe an unauthorized IAP was made using your Apple ID, you must contact Apple directly to dispute the transaction, as we do not process or store your payment information.
We may update the App periodically to improve functionality, fix bugs, enhance security, or comply with legal requirements. These updates may be automatic or require your manual installation, depending on your device settings. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms in the App or on the App's Apple App Store page. Material changes to the Terms will be accompanied by a notification (via in-app message, email to your registered address, or App Store update notes) at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must cease using the App immediately.
We may terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time, with or without cause, and with or without prior notice, if: (a) you violate any provision of these Terms; (b) you engage in fraudulent or illegal activity related to the App; (c) we are required to do so by law or a court order; (d) the App is discontinued or no longer supported; or (e) we reasonably believe your use of the App poses a security risk to us or other users.
You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App and ceasing all use of its features. Upon termination, all licenses granted herein will immediately terminate, and you shall no longer access or use the App. Sections related to intellectual property, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, and indemnification shall survive termination.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (a) THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR SECURE; (b) THE APP WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS; (c) GAME PROGRESS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; OR (d) DEFECTS IN THE APP WILL BE CORRECTED. We shall not be liable for App malfunctions caused by factors beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to device hardware issues, internet connectivity problems, or Apple App Store outages.
Apple shall have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. To the extent required by Apple's App Store Terms of Service, Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms, and Apple may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
IN NO EVENT SHALL WE OR OUR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR IAPS (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM.
This limitation of liability shall apply regardless of the legal theory underlying the claim (whether contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and shall not be invalidated by the failure of any essential remedy. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so this provision may not apply to you in full.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, licensors, and our respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms or applicable laws; (c) your submission of user-generated content; or (d) your breach of any warranty or representation contained herein.
10. Data Protection and Privacy
Your use of the App is subject to our Privacy Policy, which outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy. We adhere to Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework and will only track your activity across third-party apps or websites if you explicitly grant permission.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Before initiating legal action, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the App through good-faith negotiation by contacting us at [Contact Email]. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, either party may initiate legal proceedings in the courts located in [Jurisdiction], and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Apple's App Store Terms of Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, or representations.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
• Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or our right to enforce it in the future.
• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets.
