In plain words
Play our games, enjoy them, be decent to the other three people at the table. There is no account to lose, nothing recurring to cancel, and no real money in play.
Using the games
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive licence to use our games on devices you control. Please do not decompile them, resell them, or pass them off as your own. The rules of 29 are centuries old and belong to everybody; our implementation of them does not.
Behaviour at an online table
Online tables are shared with strangers, so a short list applies: choose a display name you would be happy for a stranger’s grandmother to read, do not attempt to disrupt or automate play, and do not try to interfere with the game server.
We may refuse service to a connection that abuses the server. Since there are no accounts, this is a technical measure rather than a ban list — we hold no identity to ban.
Purchases
- Purchases are one-time. There are no subscriptions and no consumable currency.
- Nothing purchasable changes how the game plays — cosmetic packs alter colours only.
- Your app store processes payment, holds the receipt, and handles refunds under its own policy. Restore purchases re-applies an unlock on a new device.
Advertising
Our games are ad-funded unless you buy the ad-free unlock. Advertising content comes from networks, not from us; if you see an advert that seems fraudulent or inappropriate, tell us and we will report it.
What each network receives is set out in that game’s privacy policy.
Availability, and the honest disclaimer
Offline play is yours and needs nothing from us. Online play depends on a game server that we may need to take down for maintenance, and which we do not promise will be available at any particular moment.
The games are provided as they are, without warranty. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing here limits rights your local consumer law gives you — where those conflict with these terms, your law wins.
Changes & contact
If these terms change materially, the date at the top changes. Questions: support@houseofthecard.com.
