Terms of Service & EULA

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement ("Terms" or "EULA") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "Player", or "you") and NextGameStudio ("NextGameStudio", "Studio", "we", "us", or "our").

These Terms govern your access to and use of all NextGameStudio games (including, without limitation, BlockFlow: Lumina, Cyber Vanguard, Capy Craft, Snake Out, Stack Sort, Neon Odyssey), in-game content, downloadable updates, multiplayer matchmaking services, forums, and our official websites.

2. Limited Game License (EULA)

Subject to your strict adherence to these Terms, NextGameStudio grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited license to download, install, and execute one copy of our game application solely on your personal Android device, iOS device, or personal computer for your private, non-commercial entertainment purposes.

You acknowledge that you are granted a license to play the game, and that no title or ownership in the software, game client, code, or digital assets is transferred to you.

3. Age Eligibility & Minors

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum legal age for consent to digital services in your country, such as 16 in certain European jurisdictions) to access our games.

If you are between the ages of 13 and the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf prior to you downloading or making any In-App Purchases within our games.

4. Player Accounts & Cloud Saves

• Guest Play vs Cloud Linking: You may play our games as a guest or link your progress using Google Play Games Services or authorized platform credentials. Linking is strongly recommended to protect your progress from being lost upon device replacement, clearing cache, or operating system updates.
• Account Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your device and accounts. NextGameStudio is not liable for unauthorized access or loss resulting from sharing your device or credentials.
• No Transfer of Accounts: You may not sell, trade, rent, or transfer your game account, progress, or credentials to any third party. Any attempted transfer is strictly null and void and grounds for immediate termination.

5. Virtual Goods, Virtual Currency & In-App Purchases (IAP)

By purchasing or earning Virtual Items, you expressly understand and agree that:

1. Limited License Only: Virtual Items are licensed to you on a limited, revocable basis solely for in-game use. You do not own the virtual goods or currencies associated with your account.
2. No Real-World Value: Virtual items cannot be redeemed for real money, goods, or services from NextGameStudio or any third party. Transferring virtual goods outside the game is strictly prohibited.
3. Gameplay Balancing: We reserve the absolute right to manage, regulate, adjust, nerf, buff, re-price, or eliminate Virtual Items at our sole discretion to preserve competitive balance and gameplay health without liability to you.
4. Forfeiture on Account Termination: If your account is terminated due to violations of our Code of Conduct or cheating, all associated virtual goods and currencies are forfeited immediately.

6. Google Play Store Billing & Refund Policy

• Payment Processing: All In-App Purchases on Android devices are processed exclusively through the official Google Play In-App Billing API. Your purchase is subject to the terms and payment conditions of Google LLC.
• All Sales Final: Except where required by applicable local law or platform guidelines, all purchases of virtual currency and items are final and non-refundable once delivered to your account.
• Refund Requests: Refund requests for Android purchases must be submitted directly through your Google Play Order History. Fraudulent chargebacks or abuse of refund systems may lead to automatic suspension of your game account.

7. Code of Conduct & Anti-Cheat Enforcement

You agree that you will NOT under any circumstances:

• Cheats & Exploits: Use, create, distribute, or promote cheats, bots, hacks, mods, memory editors (e.g. GameGuardian), auto-clickers, or exploit bugs/glitches for unfair advantage.
• Reverse Engineering: Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, decrypt, probe, or attempt to derive the source code or network protocols of our games.
• Server Disruption: Interfere with, overload, flood, or launch denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against our game servers, databases, or multiplayer matchmaking networks.
• Modified APKs: Install or distribute modified, cracked, or unauthorized APK/IPA binaries outside the official Google Play Store or App Store.
• Multiplayer Toxicity: Engage in harassment, hate speech, bullying, defamation, spamming, or using obscene/offensive usernames in multiplayer lobbies, leaderboards, or clan chats.
• Commercial Exploitation: Use our games for commercial purposes, including farming virtual items for resale, account trading, or unapproved esports betting.

Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, commercial logos, or copyrighted assets outside of personal, non-commercial gameplay recording and streaming permitted under our Content Creator guidelines.

9. Patches, Updates & Live Operations (LiveOps)

We continuously improve and expand our titles. You acknowledge and accept that:

• We reserve the right to discontinue support or retire online features for legacy game titles upon providing at least thirty (30) days' advance notice on our website.

10. Account Suspension, Termination & Bans

Without limiting any other remedies, NextGameStudio reserves the right to immediately suspend, restrict, ban, or terminate your access to any or all of our games, accounts, or services if:

• You breach any provision of these Terms or our Code of Conduct.
• We detect unauthorized software, memory alteration, or fraudulent financial activity associated with your account.
