HanZi Combo — Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of HanZi Combo ("the App") on iOS, iPadOS, or Android. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. The App
HanZi Combo is a single-player educational card game focused on Mandarin Chinese sentence building. The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
- No account is required to play.
- Core gameplay works offline on your device.
- Optional features (for example iCloud collection backup on Apple devices) may use platform services you already have.
2. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App for personal, non-commercial entertainment and learning, subject to these Terms and the rules of the store where you obtained the App (Apple App Store or Google Play).
You may not:
- Copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the App, except where applicable law expressly allows it
- Rent, lease, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the App
- Remove copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose
3. Intellectual Property
The App, including its name, artwork, text, audio, UI, game design, and related materials, is owned by the developer or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Downloading the App does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
4. User Content and Gameplay Data
Gameplay progress, settings, and collection data are stored on your device, and may optionally sync via Apple iCloud if you enable that feature on Apple devices.
You are responsible for keeping your device and any cloud accounts secure. We are not responsible for loss of local or cloud-synced progress caused by device failure, uninstallation, account changes, or platform backup settings.
5. Purchases and Store Rules
Any payment, refund, subscription, or billing dispute related to obtaining the App is handled by Apple or Google under their respective store terms. We do not process store payments directly.
If the App later offers in-app purchases, those will also be subject to the applicable store's payment and refund policies, in addition to these Terms.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any educational outcome is guaranteed.
7. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) TO DOWNLOAD OR USE THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR USD $10 IF YOU PAID NOTHING.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, the above limits apply only to the fullest extent permitted.
8. Children and Suitability
HanZi Combo is intended as a general-audience language-learning game. If you are a parent or guardian and allow a child to use the App, you are responsible for their use and for reviewing these Terms and our Privacy Policy with them as appropriate.
9. Privacy
Our collection and use of information is described in the Privacy Policy. By using the App, you also acknowledge that Privacy Policy.
10. Changes and Termination
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
We may suspend or stop providing the App, or terminate your license, if you violate these Terms or if required by law or store rules. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.
11. Third-Party Services
The App may rely on platform services provided by Apple or Google (for example distribution, device backup, text-to-speech, or optional iCloud). Those services are governed by Apple's or Google's terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for those third-party services.
