ETX Arcade Terms of Service

The short version

ETX Arcade is a free game. Points are a virtual, in-app currency with no real-world value, they can't be bought with real money, cashed out, or exchanged for anything outside the App. The wager-style games (Coin Flip, Dice Roll, Lucky Slots, Tower Climb, Jackpot Wheel) are for entertainment only.

1. Acceptance of these terms

By downloading, installing, or using ETX Arcade (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you don't agree with any part of these Terms, please don't use the App.

2. The service

ETX Arcade is a collection of arcade-style mini-games (Reaction Rush, Don't Tap Red, Memory Grid, Higher or Lower, Target Rush, Avoid the Walls, and Stack Tower) built around a shared leveling system, plus a Points-based virtual economy with five wager-style games, a cosmetic Shop, achievements, daily challenges, and optional Game Center leaderboards. The App is provided free of charge, with no in-app purchases and no real-money transactions of any kind.

3. Eligibility

The App includes simulated wagering mechanics using a free, virtual currency, and is age-rated accordingly on the App Store. You should only use the App if you meet the minimum age shown on its App Store listing in your region, or you have a parent or guardian's permission to do so.

4. Points — virtual currency

"Points" are a virtual in-app currency earned by playing the App's games. Points:

Have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, cryptocurrency, or any other thing of value
Cannot be purchased with real money, the only way to earn Points is by playing
Exist only within your local copy of the App, and are not held or guaranteed by ETX Labs on any server
May be reset, adjusted, or lost if you uninstall the App, reset your device, or clear the App's local data — ETX Labs cannot recover or restore a lost Points balance, since none is stored anywhere but your device

The wager-style games (Coin Flip, Dice Roll, Lucky Slots, Tower Climb, Jackpot Wheel) are provided purely for entertainment. Outcomes are determined by the App's own randomization and are final; no game result can be disputed, refunded, or reversed.

5. Gift codes

The App lets you generate a shareable code to send Points to another player. Because ETX Labs does not operate a server to validate these codes, we cannot guarantee that a given code can only ever be redeemed once across every device, and we're not responsible for Points lost, duplicated, or misused through this feature. Use it to share with people you trust.

6. Game Center

If you choose to sign in, the App submits your game scores and Points milestones to Apple's Game Center to power global leaderboards. Your use of Game Center is also governed by Apple's own terms and policies, which are separate from these Terms and outside ETX Labs' control.

7. User conduct

You agree not to reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage, falsify Points balances or leaderboard scores, or interfere with other players' use of Game Center leaderboards. ETX Labs reserves the right to take reasonable steps to address abuse of these systems.

8. License & ownership

ETX Labs grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal entertainment. All other rights, title, and interest in the App, including its design, artwork, code, and the "ETX Arcade" name, remain the property of ETX Labs.

9. No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't guarantee the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of bugs, if you find one, we'd genuinely like to hear about it (see Contact below).

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ETX Labs will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including the loss of a Points balance, game progress, or Shop purchases stored locally on your device. Because the App involves no real money and no purchasable content, your maximum possible loss from using it is limited to the time you've spent playing.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. ETX Labs may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, or any feature of it (including Game Center integration), at any time, for any reason, without liability to you.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms as the App evolves. If we make a material change, we'll update the effective date above and note it in the App's "What's New" release notes. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction in which ETX Labs operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, to the extent permitted by the App Store's own terms of service.
