Heart Crusher Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Michael Rubenstein ("we," "us," or "our") covering your use of the Heart Crusher mobile game (the "App"). By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the App.
1. Who can use the App
Heart Crusher is a game for players of all ages. If you are under 13, or under the age of majority where you live, please ask a parent or guardian before creating an account or playing online; your parent or guardian agrees to these Terms on your behalf. Younger players can also play as a Guest, which doesn't require an email address.
2. Your account
- You can sign in with Apple, Google or email, or play as a Guest. You're responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity on your account.
- Guest accounts are tied to your device. If you sign out or delete the App, you may lose access to them and their stats.
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete Account.
3. Playing fair
Heart Crusher is meant to be fun for everyone. When you use the App, you agree not to:
- choose a display name that is offensive, hateful, sexually explicit, harassing, or that impersonates someone else;
- harass, threaten or abuse other players;
- cheat, exploit bugs, or use bots, scripts or modified versions of the App to gain an advantage or to read other players' hidden cards;
- interfere with, overload or try to gain unauthorized access to the App, its servers or other players' accounts or data;
- reverse engineer, copy, sell or redistribute the App, except where the law allows despite this restriction;
- use the App for anything unlawful.
Display names are automatically checked for offensive words. If someone is bothering you, tap their avatar during a game to report or block them. We may change your display name, remove you from a game, or suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you've broken these Terms.
4. Games, scores and features
- Online games run on the host player's device and our servers. Connection problems can interrupt a game. If a player disconnects, a computer-controlled bot may take over their seat.
- Stats, achievements and leaderboards are for fun and have no monetary value. We may reset, correct or remove scores that resulted from errors or cheating.
- Changes. We may change, add or remove features, rules or game modes, or stop offering the App, at any time.
- Purchases. The App is currently free and contains no in-app purchases or ads. If that changes, additional terms will apply and be shown to you at the time.
5. Ownership
The App, including its design, artwork, sounds, text and code, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
You keep any rights you have in your display name. You give us permission to display it to other players and use it as needed to operate the App.
6. Third-party services
The App uses services provided by others, including Apple (Sign in with Apple, Game Center) and Google (Firebase, Google Sign-In). Your use of those services is also subject to their terms and privacy policies. We aren't responsible for third-party services.
7. Disclaimers
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 FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. We don't promise that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that game data, stats or scores will never be lost.
8. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP (IF ANY) OR US $10. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.
9. Ending your use
You can stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, or if we stop offering the App. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as Ownership, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability and Governing Law) will survive.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your home country requires otherwise. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.
11. Apple App Store terms
If you downloaded the App from Apple's App Store, the following also applies:
- Who the agreement is with. These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
- Warranty. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- Product claims. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App or your use of it. This includes product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- Intellectual property claims. If a third party claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting," and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless data service agreement) when using the App.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll update the effective date above and, where appropriate, let you know in the App. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
