Terms of Use

1. Eligibility and Responsible Use

Our services are intended for users who may lawfully access and use them.

If you are under the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or legal guardian may need to review and agree to these Terms on your behalf, as required by applicable law.

You agree to use our services responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and platform requirements.

You must not:

• Use our services for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or services.
• Interfere with the security, stability, or operation of our services.
• Exploit bugs, vulnerabilities, or unauthorized modifications to obtain improper benefits.
• Manipulate scores, rewards, purchases, or other service features through unauthorized means.
• Copy, redistribute, or commercially exploit our software or content without permission, except where permitted by law.

We may take reasonable measures to address misuse or protect our services, subject to applicable law.

2. License to Use Our Services

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our applications and related services for personal, non-commercial purposes, unless we expressly authorize another use.

This license does not transfer ownership of our software, content, or intellectual property.

Applications obtained through third-party platforms, including Apple’s App Store, are also subject to applicable platform terms and licensing requirements.

Where Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies, these Terms supplement it to the extent consistent with that agreement and applicable law.

3. Intellectual Property

Our services and their original software, artwork, graphics, designs, characters, text, audio, trademarks, and other protected materials are owned by DDBlue Studio or used under applicable licenses.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, or create unauthorized derivative works from protected materials without permission, except as permitted by applicable law.

Our use of historical, cultural, religious, traditional, or public-domain materials does not imply ownership of those underlying materials.

Third-party trademarks and content remain the property of their respective owners.

4. Virtual Currency and Digital Items

Some of our applications may offer virtual currencies, points, coins, digital items, rewards, or other in-app benefits.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, these virtual items:

• Are intended solely for use within the applicable application.
• Have no monetary value outside that application.
• Are not legal currency or financial instruments.
• Cannot be redeemed for cash through DDBlue Studio.
• Cannot be transferred or sold between users through DDBlue Studio unless expressly supported.
• Do not represent ownership of physical or financial assets.

Where permitted by law, we may modify the availability, pricing, functionality, or balance of virtual items for legitimate operational, security, or gameplay reasons.

Purchases of virtual items provide a limited right to use them within the applicable service, subject to applicable laws and platform requirements.

Nothing in this section limits statutory rights relating to purchased digital content.

5. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Payments

Some services may offer optional purchases, subscriptions, paid features, or voluntary tips.

Purchases made through Apple’s App Store or another authorized platform are processed according to that platform’s payment terms and applicable law.

Prices, billing, applicable taxes, payment methods, cancellations, and refunds may be governed by the relevant platform’s terms.

Where subscriptions are offered, their price, billing frequency, renewal conditions, and cancellation instructions will be disclosed before purchase as required by applicable law.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, subscriptions may renew automatically until canceled through the applicable platform or billing provider.

Canceling a subscription generally prevents future renewals but does not necessarily provide a refund for a completed billing period, subject to applicable law.

Voluntary tips do not guarantee special treatment, favorable outcomes, or additional benefits unless such benefits are clearly disclosed.

We do not directly receive payment-card details for purchases processed entirely by third-party platforms.

Nothing in these Terms limits refund, cancellation, or other consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

6. Advertising and Rewards

Some of our services may display advertisements, including interstitial, banner, or optional rewarded advertisements.

Advertisement availability, content, and delivery may depend on advertising providers, network conditions, device compatibility, and regional requirements.

We do not guarantee that a particular advertisement or reward opportunity will always be available.

Where an advertisement qualifies for an in-app reward under the applicable application’s rules, we will make reasonable efforts to deliver the reward correctly.

Advertising-related information practices are described in the applicable Privacy Policy.

7. Application Data, Local Storage, and Cloud Services

Some applications may store preferences, saved content, gameplay progress, or other information locally on your device or through optional cloud services.

Storage and synchronization may depend on your device, operating system, internet connection, account configuration, and third-party service availability.

We make reasonable efforts to maintain reliable application functionality, but technical problems may occasionally cause interruptions, synchronization conflicts, or data loss.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate device security and backups where supported.

We do not guarantee that all locally stored or synchronized information can always be recovered.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The applicable Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled.

8. Entertainment, Cultural, and Informational Content

Some of our applications may provide entertainment, educational, cultural, historical, creative, or general informational content.

Certain applications may include fortune interpretations, divination-inspired experiences, predictions, simulations, or similar content.

Such content is provided for entertainment, cultural appreciation, or general informational purposes only.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or future outcomes of predictions, interpretations, or similar content.

You should exercise independent judgment when using information provided by our applications.

9. No Professional Advice

Unless expressly stated otherwise, our services do not provide professional medical, mental health, legal, financial, investment, or other regulated advice.

Information, interpretations, suggestions, or results generated or displayed by our applications should not be treated as a substitute for advice from qualified professionals.

Do not rely exclusively on our services when making decisions that could significantly affect your health, safety, finances, legal rights, or personal well-being.

Our services are not intended to provide emergency assistance.

10. User-Created Content

Some applications may allow you to create, edit, save, or share notes, images, text, or other content.

You retain any ownership rights you have in content you create.

You are responsible for ensuring that your content and its use comply with applicable laws and do not infringe the rights of others.

You should avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in content that you choose to share.

Where an application supports sharing, the destination service may handle shared content under its own terms and privacy practices.

Unless a particular feature expressly requires it, these Terms do not grant DDBlue Studio ownership of your user-created content.

Any additional permissions needed to operate a specific content-hosting or sharing feature will be disclosed in applicable product-specific terms.

11. Third-Party Services

Our applications and websites may integrate with services operated by third parties, including app stores, payment providers, cloud-storage providers, advertising networks, analytics providers, and other technology services.

Your use of those services may be subject to their separate terms and privacy policies.

Third-party services may experience outages, changes, or technical limitations outside our control.

We are not responsible for independent actions or failures of third parties beyond the extent required by applicable law.

12. Privacy

We respect your privacy.

Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy applicable to the service you use.

You can find our website Privacy Policy at: https://ddbluestudio.com/privacy/

Individual applications may have separate Privacy Policies describing their specific data practices. For example, the MergeCompass Privacy Policy is at https://ddbluestudio.com/mergecompass/privacy/, the Tuck Pop Privacy Policy is at https://ddbluestudio.com/tuckpop/privacy/, the Inkbloom Privacy Policy is at https://ddbluestudio.com/inkbloom/privacy/, the Scoop Buddies Privacy Policy is at https://ddbluestudio.com/scoopbuddies/privacy/, the DDBlue Home Privacy Policy is at https://ddbluestudio.com/ddbluehome/privacy/, and the Wong Tai Sin Privacy Policy is at https://ddbluestudio.com/wongtaisin/privacy/.

Please review the relevant Privacy Policy before using a service.

13. Service Availability and Changes

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue features or services for legitimate operational, security, legal, or business reasons.

Certain features may require compatible devices, supported operating systems, internet access, or third-party services.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or compatibility with every device.

Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice or remedies for material changes or discontinuation.

Changes will not remove statutory rights that cannot legally be waived.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not make additional warranties that our services will always be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or suitable for every particular purpose.

We do not guarantee particular gameplay results, rewards, rankings, predictions, or other outcomes.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties, guarantees, or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DDBlue Studio and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, and authorized representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or relating to your use of our services.

Such damages may include loss of enjoyment, interruption of service, loss of application progress, or loss of digital content, to the extent legally permitted.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability arising from or relating to a particular service will not exceed the greater of:

(a) the total amount you paid to us for that service, including purchases processed on our behalf, during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
(b) US $100.

This limitation applies only where legally enforceable.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, statutory consumer remedies, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless DDBlue Studio and its owners, officers, employees, and authorized representatives against third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal expenses arising directly from:

• Your unlawful use of our services.
• Your intentional violation of another person’s intellectual-property rights through content you provide.
• Your fraudulent or malicious interference with our services.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct, negligence, or other circumstances for which indemnification cannot lawfully be required.

Nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer protections.

17. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or restrict access to particular services or features where reasonably necessary to address fraud, security threats, unlawful conduct, or material violations of these Terms.

Where appropriate and legally required, we will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue.

You may stop using our applications at any time.

Termination does not automatically eliminate rights or obligations that accrued before termination.

Any rights relating to purchased digital content remain subject to applicable law.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory laws of your place of residence provide otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from exercising rights or bringing claims in a jurisdiction where applicable consumer-protection law grants you that right.

If you have a concern about our services, we encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve it.

This section does not require mandatory arbitration or waive your right to participate in a class action.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our services, business operations, or legal requirements.

The latest version will be published on our website with an updated revision date.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before material changes take effect.

Changes will not retroactively remove rights or remedies that users already have under applicable law.

20. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Any invalid provision will be interpreted or limited only to the extent legally permissible.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any applicable product-specific terms and relevant platform agreements, describe the general conditions governing your use of our services.

Where a product-specific agreement expressly provides different terms for a particular service, that agreement will govern the relevant subject matter to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in this section overrides mandatory legal requirements or applicable consumer protections.
