Terms of Use

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before downloading or using Callie's Mahjong (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Techsalot LLC ("Developer") grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on any Apple or Android device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes, as permitted by the terms of the store you got it from (the Apple App Store or Google Play).

2. Restrictions

You may not: (a) copy, modify, or distribute the App; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App; (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, or sublicense the App; (d) use the App for any unlawful purpose; or (e) remove any proprietary notices from the App.

3. Free Trial, Purchases and Subscriptions

The App offers a free trial period, a one-time purchase, and an auto-renewing subscription. Payments are processed by Apple through the App Store, or by Google through Google Play, and are subject to that store's payment terms. The Developer never receives or stores your payment details.

On Android, the App is offered as a subscription with a free trial set by Google Play. The one-time Single Player purchase is available on Apple devices only.

Free trial. New installs include a free trial of the App, which starts when you install it. No payment is taken and no account is required. When the trial ends, continued play requires a purchase or a subscription.

One-time purchase: single player. A single, non-recurring purchase unlocks the complete single player game permanently. It does not expire, it is not a subscription, and it can be restored at no additional cost on any device signed in to the same Apple Account. It is enabled for Family Sharing and allows you to join the leaderboard. It does not include the premium tile sets, or the other racks, mats and Tablescapes, which come with the subscription.

Auto-renewing subscription: All Access. All Access is an auto-renewing subscription, offered as a monthly or an annual plan. The following terms apply:

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription automatically renews at the end of each period unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your Apple Account or Google Play account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the rate of the plan you selected.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account or Google Play account settings, under Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not refund the current period.
• While the subscription is active it includes the complete single player game, every tile set, and every rack, mat and Tablescape. If the subscription lapses, subscription-only content stops being available. Anything you bought outright, including the one-time single player purchase, remains yours.
• The subscription is enabled for Family Sharing.
• The subscription, like the one-time purchase, allows you to join the leaderboard and claim a username. The leaderboard is free to view on the web at calliesmahjong.app/leaderboard.

Prices are shown in the App before purchase and may vary by country or region. The Developer may modify, discontinue, or adjust the pricing of its offerings at any time; a price change to an existing subscription will be handled in accordance with the store's rules, which require notice and, in most cases, your consent before it takes effect. All purchases are final unless Apple's or Google Play's policies provide otherwise. Refund requests are handled under Apple's or Google Play's refund policies, whichever store you purchased through.

4. Playing With Other People

Play With Friends: Coming Soon.

4a. The Leaderboard

The leaderboard is optional. The game is complete without it, and nothing about your play is sent anywhere unless you join it.

4a.1 Viewing is free. Appearing by name is not. Anyone may view the leaderboard. To claim a username and appear under it, you need the one-time Single Player purchase or an active subscription (not the free trial). If your subscription lapses and you have not bought Single Player, your past results remain but you may appear without a name.

4a.2 Signing in. Joining the leaderboard requires signing in with Apple or Google, whichever your device offers. The Developer receives an opaque identifier from Apple or Google and no other information about you from them: no name and no email address (Google's sign-in includes your email; the Developer does not store it). When you submit hands, the Developer also keeps your time zone, worked out from your connection, to count Mahjong streak days (see the Privacy Policy).

4a.3 Your username. A username is between 3 and 16 characters and must be unique. It may be changed once every thirty days. Some names are reserved and cannot be claimed. You agree that your username will not be your own real name or email address, will not impersonate another person or the Developer, and will not be obscene, hateful, or unlawful. The Developer may reclaim or reset a username that breaks these rules, and doing so does not affect your purchases or your ability to play.

4a.4 Fair play. You agree to submit only results from ordinary play of an unmodified copy of the App on a device you control. You agree not to falsify, automate, script, replay, or otherwise manufacture results, and not to modify the App or the data it sends in order to affect a standing. On an Android device, results may be checked against Google's Play Integrity service. That check never runs automatically against you; it flags a result for the Developer to review by hand.

4a.5 If these rules are broken. The Developer may remove a result, reset a standing, withhold a username, or remove an account from the leaderboard where the Developer believes in good faith that these rules have been broken or that a result is not genuine. These are judgments made by the Developer; the App does not make them automatically. Removal from the leaderboard does not revoke any purchase and does not prevent you from playing the game.

4a.6 Seasons, standings and corrections. The leaderboard runs in seasons. At the end of a season, standings may be archived, reset, or recalculated. Standings may be delayed, restated, or corrected at any time, including for reasons unrelated to you, such as a defect or a recalculation. The leaderboard is provided "as is". It is not a contest, it offers no prize, and no standing, rating, or rank creates any entitlement of any kind. The Developer may change how ratings are calculated, change the boards offered, or discontinue the leaderboard entirely.

4a.7 One board, separate accounts. The leaderboard is shared across iPhone, iPad and Android, but an account made by signing in with Apple is not the same account as one made by signing in with Google, even for the same person. Nothing links them automatically.

4a.8 Deleting your account. You may delete your leaderboard account at any time, from within the App or at calliesmahjong.com/delete-account. Deletion removes your username, your sign-in, and your leaderboard history from the Developer's records; for a sign-in with Apple, the Developer also asks Apple to revoke it. Copies in the Developer's encrypted backups expire within 30 days, and a deleted account is never restored from them. Deleting your account does not cancel or refund a subscription, which is managed in your Apple Account or Google Play, and does not affect anything you have purchased.

5. Maintenance and Support

The Developer is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support services for the App, as required by applicable law and these Terms. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the App. For support, contact support@calliesmahjong.com.

6. Warranty Disclaimer

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

7. Product Claims

The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar laws.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, its game, words, pictures and sounds belong to Techsalot LLC or to the artists who made them. Some tile sets and mats are drawn by independent artists and used with their permission: they remain the artists' work, and you may not copy, extract or reuse them outside the App. Pictures you make with the App's Share features (such as a streak card) are yours to share.

In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

9. Legal Compliance

You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

10. Termination

These Terms are effective until terminated. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically without notice if you fail to comply with any of their terms. Upon termination, you must stop all use of the App and delete all copies from your devices.

Separately from the above, the Developer may suspend or terminate your access to the leaderboard under section 4a without terminating these Terms or affecting your license to use the App or anything you have purchased.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.
