Spinnin! - Terms of Use (End User Licence Agreement)

Last updated: 21 October 2026

1. The agreement and who it is with

1.1 These Terms are a binding agreement between you and us. They are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC (or their affiliates), even though you obtained the Game through their stores.

1.2 Your use of the Game is also subject to the terms of the store you used (Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or the Google Play Terms of Service). If those store terms conflict with these Terms on a matter the store governs (such as payments and refunds), the store terms prevail.

1.3 The Game is a single-player game. It has no user accounts, no registration, no chat, no multiplayer and no sharing of content between users.

2. Licence

2.1 Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download, install and use the Game for your own private, non-commercial entertainment on devices you own or control, as permitted by the applicable store's usage rules (including, for Apple, the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which allow use via Family Sharing where enabled).

2.2 The Game is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep all rights not expressly granted.

2.3 Except to the extent applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction (for example, decompilation for interoperability under EU Directive 2009/24/EC), you must not copy, modify, translate, decompile, disassemble, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works of the Game; remove proprietary notices; or rent, lease, sell, sublicense or distribute the Game.

3. Eligibility, minors and parental supervision

3.1 The Game is designed for a general audience. It is not directed at children. It is rated about 9+ on the App Store, and its Google Play target audience is 13 and older.

3.2 If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Game only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use. Parents are encouraged to use the parental controls offered by Apple (Screen Time, Ask to Buy) and Google (Family Link, purchase approval) to manage purchases and screen time.

3.3 Purchases made by a minor are governed by the store's policies. Requests to reverse an unauthorised purchase by a minor should be sent to Apple or Google (see Support).

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) use cheats, bots, automation, exploits, hacks, memory editors or unauthorised modifications ("mods") to alter the Game or obtain items or ad-free status you did not earn or buy; (b) circumvent the purchase system, advertising, or any technical protection; (c) interfere with or overload any service connected with the Game; (d) use the Game for any unlawful purpose or in breach of the store terms; (e) use Photo Mode with images that are unlawful or that you have no right to use. We may take reasonable measures to address breaches, as described in section 14.

5. Photo Mode and your content

5.1 Photo Mode lets you choose a photo from your device (through the system photo picker) or, on iPhone, take one with the camera, so that it is used as a skin on the blocks. The photo is resized and stored only on your device. It is never uploaded to us and we never receive it. You can delete it at any time with the trash (Remove) button in Photo Mode.

5.2 Because we never receive your photo, we do not obtain any licence or right in it. You remain fully responsible for it. You confirm that you have the rights and any necessary permissions (including from people shown in it) to use the photo in this way.

5.3 If you choose to save an image to your photo library or share it using your device's share sheet, the sharing is done by you, through your device and the apps you choose, and is subject to their terms. You are responsible for what you share and with whom. Do not share images of other people without their consent.

6. In-app purchases and refunds

6.1 The Game offers an optional one-time purchase "Remove Ads" (a non-consumable item). The price is shown in the store before you buy and may vary by country and over time; we may test different prices, so the store may list it under more than one product, each with exactly the same effect. "Remove Ads" permanently removes interstitial ads (ads between rounds). Optional rewarded videos that you choose to watch remain available.

6.2 All payments are processed by Apple or Google. We never receive your payment card or bank details.

6.3 Refunds: because payments are made to Apple or Google, we cannot issue refunds ourselves. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies (links on our Support page). This does not affect any refund or withdrawal right you may have under mandatory law. Where EU/UK law applies, you agree that delivery of the digital content begins immediately after purchase and acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by law, you thereby lose your right of withdrawal; the store's checkout process governs how this consent is obtained.

6.4 You can restore a "Remove Ads" purchase on a new or reset device using Settings > More Settings > Restore Purchases in the Game with the same store account.

6.5 If we discontinue the Game, we are not obliged to compensate for purchases except where mandatory law requires it.

7. No virtual currency

7.1 The Game has no in-game currency. No virtual currency is sold or earned, and no virtual items can be bought other than "Remove Ads" (section 6).

7.2 Your progress and settings are stored only on your device. They may be lost if you uninstall the Game, reset your device or lose the device, unless restored from your own device backup. We cannot recover them because we do not hold them.

8. Advertising

The Game shows advertisements provided by Google AdMob only: optional rewarded videos that you choose to watch (for example, to Undo a move, use a Nuke, or Continue with extra moves) and interstitial ads between rounds. The Game requires an internet connection to play. We are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or for products and websites they link to, except as required by law. Your privacy choices regarding ads are described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Updates, changes and discontinuation

9.1 We may, at any time and at our discretion, update, modify, add or remove features or content, suspend or discontinue the Game (in whole or in part), or remove it from any store, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law. Where required by law (for example under the EU Digital Content Directive 2019/770 for paid content), we will give reasonable notice of changes that negatively affect your access to content you paid for, and respect any rights you have in that case.

9.2 Some updates may be required to keep using the Game. We will provide updates needed to keep the Game in conformity with these Terms for the period required by law.

10. Intellectual property and copyright complaints

10.1 The Game, including its code, design, graphics, sounds, music, names and logos, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. "The Rising Apps", "The Rising Heat" and "Spinnin!" are our brand names.

10.2 Copyright or IP complaints. If you believe content in the Game infringes your copyright or other rights, email therisingheat1@gmail.com with subject "IP notice" and include: (a) your name and contact details; (b) identification of the work you claim is infringed; (c) identification of the material in the Game and where it appears; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We will review notices and act as appropriate. Note that user photos in Photo Mode never reach us, so we cannot review or remove them. We have not registered a US DMCA designated agent; this procedure is voluntary.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, or preservation of progress. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, so they may not apply to you; in particular, if you are a consumer in the EU/EEA, UK, Israel, Australia or another jurisdiction with mandatory guarantees, you keep your statutory rights regarding conformity and quality of digital content.

12. Limitation of liability

12.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, progress, profits or goodwill, arising out of or related to the Game.

12.2 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Game is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us for the Game or in-app purchases in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 50 (or equivalent in local currency).

12.3 Carve-outs: nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law. If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or UK, we are liable under statutory rules for foreseeable loss caused by our breach of these Terms or our negligence.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to compensate us for reasonable losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from third-party claims caused by your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Game, or photos or content you use or share in breach of others' rights. This does not apply to the extent the loss was caused by us, and does not apply where consumer law prohibits such a clause.

14. Termination

14.1 You may stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it.

14.2 We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Game. On termination you must stop using the Game. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5, 7, 10-13, 18 and 19) survive termination.

15. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the Game from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

1. Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and us only, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Game and its content.
2. Scope of licence. Your licence is limited to use on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the Game may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
3. Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for any maintenance and support as specified in these Terms or required by law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the Game.
4. Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties not effectively disclaimed. If the Game fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Game. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility (to the extent not disclaimed).
5. Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Game or your possession and use of it, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) claims that the Game fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
6. Intellectual property. If a third party claims that the Game or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
7. Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. Developer contact. Questions, complaints or claims about the Game: therisingheat1@gmail.com. We can be contacted by email only.
9. Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless data service agreement) when using the Game.
10. Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16. Google Play terms

If you obtained the Game from Google Play: Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Game. In-app purchases are processed through Google Play Billing under the Google Play Terms of Service, and refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policies. Nothing in these Terms overrides the Google Play Terms of Service or Google Play Developer Program Policies where they apply.

17. Export and sanctions

You must comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws when downloading and using the Game.

18. Governing law and disputes

18.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, and the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel have jurisdiction.

18.2 Consumer carve-out: if you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence where the law gives you that right. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

18.3 Before starting proceedings, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue informally. EU consumers may also use alternative dispute resolution bodies available in their country.

19. General

19.1 Severability: if any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the rest of these Terms remain in effect.

19.2 Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the applicable store terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Game.

19.3 No waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

19.4 Assignment: you may not transfer these Terms. We may transfer them to a successor operator of the Game, provided your rights are not reduced.

19.5 Language: these Terms are written in English; translations, if any, are for convenience, unless local law requires otherwise.

19.6 Force majeure: we are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the Game or the law. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, give notice in the Game or on this page. Changes do not apply retroactively. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Game; where the law requires your consent, we will ask for it.
