These terms cover your use of the Sodogku app. What the app collects is a separate page, the privacy policy.
Who can use it
Sodogku is a general-audience game and is not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age at which you can agree to terms like these where you live, a parent or guardian has to agree for you. By playing, you accept these terms and the privacy policy; the app records which version of each you accepted.
The app is provided as-is
Sodogku is provided “as-is,” without warranty of any kind. It may not be bug-free, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose. You use it at your own risk.
Ads
Sodogku is free to play and pays for itself with ads served by Google AdMob. Most ads are rewarded: shown when you choose to watch one in exchange for something in the game, such as a refill of bones or covering a missed day of a streak. The one exception is a short full-screen ad between two levels, shown only if you have cleared several levels in a row without seeing any ad at all; watching a rewarded ad resets that count, so you are never shown one on top of the other. There are no banners, and no ad ever appears while a board is in play.
Because the free game depends on ads, it needs an internet connection from time to time. Offline, you can keep playing for a while after the first ad that could not be loaded; after that the app asks you to reconnect, or to buy Sodogku Pro, which plays offline without limit. When an ad cannot be loaded and you are online, the reward is still granted.
Sodogku Pro
Sodogku sells one thing: Sodogku Pro, a single purchase made through Google Play or the App Store at the price the store shows you. It is not a subscription and nothing renews. Pro removes ads, allows unlimited offline play, grants continues, skips and streak freezes without an ad to watch, tops boosters back up at the start of every attempt, and opens every level in the campaign. The purchase screen lists what Pro includes at the time you buy.
The purchase is recorded against your store account, not against your phone. Restore purchases, in Settings, brings it back after a reinstall or on a new device signed in to the same store account. Payment, receipts and refunds are handled by Google Play or Apple under their own terms; we never see your payment details and cannot issue a refund ourselves.
Progress and in-game items
Bones, boosters, streak freezes and anything else the game hands out have no money value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and cannot be transferred. Along with your levels, scores, streaks and badges they live only on your phone. There are no accounts, so uninstalling the app deletes them and we cannot restore them. Sodogku Pro is the exception, because it lives with your store account as described above.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or try to extract the app’s source code.
