Terms of Service

Last updated:

Welcome to Hexlands. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Hexlands mobile application and the hexlandsgame.com website (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement.

2. License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the Service on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment.

3. Account & Gameplay

Some features of the Service (such as multiplayer matches) may require you to create or use an account, join game sessions, or share a nickname with other players. You are responsible for the activity that occurs under your account and for keeping any credentials secure.

4. User Conduct

When using the Service, you agree not to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation;
• Harass, threaten, or harm other players, including via in-game chat, voice, or nicknames;
• Cheat, exploit bugs, reverse-engineer, tamper with game state, or otherwise gain unfair advantage;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our servers, or other users' accounts;
• Use the Service to transmit viruses, malware, spam, or other harmful content;
• Impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

5. User-Submitted Content

The Service may allow you to submit content, such as bug reports, support requests, nicknames, or voice clips. You retain ownership of what you submit, but you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, and process that content for the purpose of operating, improving, and supporting the Service. Do not submit anything you do not have the right to share, or that is unlawful, offensive, or infringing.

6. Purchases, Subscriptions & In-App Items

Hexlands is free to download, and you can join any game at no cost. Creating your own games requires an active Hexlands Creator subscription.

6.1 Hexlands Creator subscription

• Price: US $1.99 per month (or the local-currency equivalent set by Apple for your App Store region), after an introductory 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers.
• Billing: payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews every month unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Managing and cancelling: you can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device. Cancelling stops future renewals; you retain access until the end of the current paid period. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
• Free trial: if you choose not to continue, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, or your Apple ID will be charged for the first paid period at the then-current price. Free trials are available only to eligible new subscribers as determined by Apple.
• Family Sharing: this subscription supports Apple Family Sharing and may be shared with up to five additional family members in your Family group, subject to Apple's Family Sharing rules.
• Refunds: all payments are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with the App Store's refund policies; we are generally unable to issue refunds directly.

6.2 In-app items generally

All in-app purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to the App Store's own terms. In-app items and subscription entitlements are licensed, not sold, have no cash value, and are non-transferable. We may change subscription pricing, features, or availability from time to time; changes to recurring charges will be disclosed as required by Apple and applicable law, and your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

7. Updates & Availability

We may update, modify, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, be error-free, or remain backwards-compatible with older versions.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its artwork, graphics, logos, code, audio, and game design, is owned by Hexlands or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited license granted above, no rights are transferred to you.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your expectations or be uninterrupted or error-free.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hexlands and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $10.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
