Terms of use

Last updated: [DATE]

1. About these terms

These terms apply when you use the Blue Cup Studios website or any app or game we publish on the Apple App Store, Google Play or the web (each an “app”). The apps and website are provided by Blue Cup Studios Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with company number [COMPANY NUMBER], whose registered office is at [REGISTERED OFFICE ADDRESS]. You can contact us at [email protected].

By downloading or using an app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. How we handle your personal data is explained in our privacy policy.

2. Your licence to use our apps

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use each app on devices you own or control, in line with these terms and the usage rules of the app store you downloaded it from. You must not:

• copy, modify, reverse engineer or decompile the app, except where the law allows it
• rent, sell or sublicense the app to anyone else
• use the app for anything unlawful, harmful or fraudulent, or to infringe anyone else's rights
• try to break, overload or gain unauthorised access to the app or the services behind it

We own, or are licensed to use, all intellectual property in the apps and website. These terms do not give you any rights to it beyond the licence above.

3. Accounts

Some apps let you create an account. Please keep your login details secure and tell us if you think someone else has used your account. You can delete your account at any time, as described in our privacy policy.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of anything you create or upload in an app. You give us permission to store and process it only as needed to provide the app to you. You are responsible for making sure your content is lawful and does not infringe anyone else's rights.

5. Purchases and subscriptions

Paid apps, in-app purchases and subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, under their terms. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies.

As a UK consumer, you have a legal right to digital content that is as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. If something you paid for is faulty, contact us and we will try to put it right.

6. Updates and availability

We may update our apps to fix bugs, improve features or keep them secure, and some updates may be needed to keep using an app. We may also withdraw an app or a feature. If we withdraw something you have paid for, we will give you reasonable notice where we can.

7. Our liability to you

We build our apps with care, but we provide them “as is” and cannot promise they will always be available or free from errors. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for business losses, or for loss caused by events outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited under the law of England and Wales, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

8. Ending these terms

You can stop using an app at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms.

9. Apps downloaded from the Apple App Store

If you downloaded an app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

• These terms are between you and Blue Cup Studios, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Your licence is limited to using the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for providing maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to do so.
• If the app fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for handling any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
• If a third party claims that the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a UK or US government embargo, and are not on any UK or US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your mobile network's terms.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them Apple has the right to enforce them against you.

10. Apps downloaded from Google Play

If you downloaded an app from Google Play, your use of Google Play is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not responsible for the app or its support.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to an app or the law. We will change the date at the top of this page, and tell you in the app if a change is significant.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. You can bring proceedings in the courts of England and Wales, or, if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts where you live.
