5. Modifications to the Products and Terms

We may modify or update the Products or these Terms at our discretion. Any changes to the Terms will be posted on our website and within the Game. Your continued use of the Products after the changes take effect signifies your agreement to the updated Terms.

6. Charges (Subscriptions and In-Game Purchases)

Games may be available on either a free or paid basis.

Free Games can be downloaded at no cost but provide limited access to basic features.

Certain Games offer the opportunity to buy a Subscription or In-Game Purchases, granting access to exclusive content, special features, and virtual items on an ongoing basis.

Subscriptions and In-Game Purchases are billed and processed directly through the Apple App Store (Apple) or Google Play Store (Google), and are subject to the payment and billing terms of those platforms. We have no access to your accounts or transactions.

You can find the available subscription options on the Game’s page in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

You can choose Subscriptions with different pricing and time frames (referred to as the «Subscription Period»). 

Subscriptions renew automatically with regular payments that continue until canceled.

A Subscription is automatically renewed at the end of each Subscription Period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the expiry of the current Subscription Period. If you do not cancel the Subscription at least 24 hours before the expiry of the current Subscription Period, the Subscription fees for the next Subscription Period will be taken during the 24 hours before the expiry of the current Subscription Period. 

If a Subscription fee cannot be taken due to the absence of monetary funds, invalidity of credit card or for any other reasons, the Subscription will not automatically end. The Subscription will automatically restart as soon as valid payment details are provided.

Some of our Subscriptions offer a trial period which is free of charge for a certain period of time that is specified in the Games at the point of purchase. At the end of such trial period, the Subscription will automatically convert into a paid Subscription for the fees and for the Subscription Period set out in the Games at the time of activation of the trial period. If you do not cancel the Subscription within the trial period therefore, the first Subscription fee will be immediately and automatically charged when the trial period expires. 

Please note that any paid Subscription begins immediately from the activation of such paid Subscription and not after the expiry of any trial period. Any unused trial period will therefore be forfeited if a Subscription is activated prior to the expiry of such trial period.

Apple’s App Store, Google’s Google Play may place a temporary «authorisation hold» or «pending charge» on your payment card before any payment is due (including during a free trial period), and this is an action outside of PLAYSCOPE’s control.

Cancellation of a Subscription can only be done at your manual request.

You can manage and cancel your subscriptions at any time in the Account Settings of your device. For iOS subscriptions, please see Apple’s support page here. For Google Play subscriptions, please see Google Play’s support page here.

Be aware that you cannot cancel your Subscription for the current Subscription Period as that is activated as soon as you purchase a Subscription. However, you may cancel your Subscription for the next Subscription Period following the steps set out below.

Except as required by law or as otherwise stipulated by the App Store or Google Play Market, Subscriptions and In-App Purchases are non-refundable. Please refer to the respective platform’s support resources for information on how to request refunds.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue Subscriptions and In-App Purchases at our discretion. 

By using the Products, making a purchase or subscribing, you agree to comply with these Terms and the policies of the App Store or Google Play Market.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Products may include links to third-party websites, products, or services. We do not endorse or assume any responsibility for any such third-party services. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and the third party, and you agree that we are not responsible for any loss or damage you may incur.

8. Epilepsy Warning

Some individuals are sensitive to flashing lights or light patterns and may experience epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to them. This can occur while watching certain images on a screen or playing specific video games, even if there is no prior history of epilepsy or seizures.

If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms related to epilepsy (such as seizures or loss of consciousness) triggered by flashing lights, consult a doctor before playing.

Parents should supervise their children’s video game use. If you or your child experience symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness, disorientation, or convulsions while playing, stop using the game immediately and seek medical advice.

When playing Games, be sure to follow standard health and safety practices. This includes not playing when you’re fatigued or sleep-deprived, taking 10 to 15-minute breaks every hour, maintaining a comfortable distance from the screen, and ensuring the room is well-lit.
