Terms of Service

1Who we are

AppTactical is a brand of 4BOOKS&GAMES, LLC (“we”, “us”, “our”), 15495 Oakflats Rd, Chino Hills, CA 91709, United States. You can reach us at help@apptactical.software. In these Terms, the “Site” is apptactical.software and the “Apps” are the Android games and apps we publish on Google Play under the AppTactical brand or the 4BOOKS&GAMES, LLC developer name.

2These Terms and other terms

• Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information and is part of these Terms.
• When you download an App from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply. For store matters such as downloads, payments and refunds, Google’s terms take priority.
• Client projects, such as custom development, design or publishing work, are governed by a separate written agreement. These Terms do not create a client relationship.
• Some Apps may have extra rules, for example for events or online features. They are shown inside the App and apply together with these Terms.

3Who can use the Site and Apps

You must be able to form a binding contract where you live, or have permission from a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms for you. If an App has a minimum age, it is shown on the App’s Google Play listing.

4Your licence to use our Apps

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download, install and use our Apps on Android devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in line with these Terms. We keep all other rights.

5Rules of play

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, decompile, reverse engineer or redistribute an App, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
• cheat, use bots, mods or exploits, or tamper with in-app purchases, scores or game data;
• interfere with the Site, the Apps or our servers, or try to access them without authorization;
• use the Site or the Apps to break the law or to violate the rights of others;
• remove copyright, trademark or other notices.

We may suspend or end your access if you break these rules.

6In-app purchases and virtual items

• Some Apps offer optional in-app purchases. Prices are shown in Google Play before you pay, and payments are processed by Google Play.
• Virtual currency and items are a licence to use content inside the App. They have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be transferred, except where the law requires otherwise.
• Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policies. Nothing in these Terms limits refund rights you have under the law.
• If we discontinue an App, we will try to give reasonable notice. Virtual items in that App may then stop being available.

7Ads and third-party services

Some Apps may show ads or include links and services from other companies. Those companies are responsible for their own content and services, which have their own terms and privacy policies.

8Intellectual property

The Site, the Apps and everything in them, including code, design, art, music, text, and the AppTactical name and logo, belong to 4BOOKS&GAMES, LLC or our licensors and are protected by law. These Terms give you no rights to them other than the licence in section 4.

9Feedback and project briefs

If you send us feedback or ideas about our Apps, we may use them without any obligation to you. If you send us a project brief, we treat it as confidential business information and use it only to discuss and plan the project with you.

10Changes to the Site and Apps

We may update, change or stop offering any part of the Site or an App at any time, for example to fix bugs, add content or meet Google Play requirements. Some features need an internet connection.

11Disclaimers

The Site and the Apps are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Site or the Apps will be uninterrupted or error-free.

12Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 4BOOKS&GAMES, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site or the Apps is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

13Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, please email us so we can try to resolve the issue informally within 30 days. Any dispute that is not resolved will be heard in the state or federal courts located in San Bernardino County, California, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living outside the United States, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country.

14Ending these Terms

You may stop using the Site and the Apps at any time, for example by uninstalling the Apps. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms. Sections 6, 8, 11, 12 and 13 continue to apply after these Terms end.

15Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The date at the top shows the current version. If a change is significant, we will give notice on the Site or in the affected Apps. If you keep using the Site or the Apps after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
