Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the mobile games, applications and website provided by MeanwhileX, a trade name of Havrylenko Olena Fedorivna FOP, an individual entrepreneur registered in Ukraine, registry number 2596822942, address 26/2 Starokostiantynivske Shose, apt. 47, Khmelnytskyi, 29001, Ukraine (“MeanwhileX”, “we”, “us”).

By downloading, installing or using any of our games (the “Games”) or this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use them.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if that is higher, to use our Games. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use our Games only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

2. Licence to use our Games

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use our Games on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment.

You may not:

• copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute a Game or any part of it;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble a Game, except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded;
• modify a Game, or use modified clients, bots, automation, emulator abuse, memory editors or other tools to gain an unfair advantage;
• circumvent, disable or interfere with security, anti-cheat, licensing or in-app purchase mechanisms;
• use a Game to transmit malware, spam or unlawful content, or to harass other players;
• access a Game through automated means to scrape or overload our systems or those of our providers.

3. Intellectual property

The Games, including their code, art, audio, characters, level design, text, trademarks and the MeanwhileX name and logo, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Purchases and virtual items

Some Games offer optional in-app purchases. All purchases are processed by Google Play under Google’s terms of service and payment terms. We never receive or store your payment card details.

• Virtual items — coins, currency, characters, boosts, cosmetics and similar items are a limited licence to use digital content within the Game. They are not your property, have no monetary value outside the Game, and cannot be exchanged for money or transferred outside the Game.
• Availability — we may change, rebalance, discontinue or remove virtual items and Game features at any time. Where we discontinue a Game entirely, we will give reasonable notice where practicable.
• Refunds — refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy. Statutory consumer rights that apply to you, including withdrawal rights for consumers in the EU and UK, are not affected by these Terms. If Google directs you to us, contact [email protected] and we will review your request.
• Loss of virtual items — if your access is terminated for breach of these Terms, unused virtual items are forfeited without refund, to the extent permitted by law.

5. Advertising

Some Games are supported by advertising. Advertisements are supplied by third-party networks, and we do not control and are not responsible for their content or for the products and services they promote. How advertising affects your data, and the controls available to you, are described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Content you create

Where a Game lets you submit content such as a display name, a level, or a message, you keep ownership of it and grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display that content for the purpose of operating and promoting the Game. You are responsible for what you submit, and you must not submit content that is unlawful, infringing, abusive, hateful, sexual, or that impersonates another person. We may remove content that breaches these Terms.

7. Service availability

We provide the Games on an ongoing but not guaranteed basis. We may update, suspend, restrict or discontinue a Game or any of its features, and we may perform maintenance that makes a Game temporarily unavailable. Some Games require an internet connection and a supported device and operating system version; performance on unsupported configurations is not guaranteed.

8. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to a Game if you materially breach these Terms — for example by cheating, exploiting bugs, committing payment fraud, or abusing other players or our staff. Where circumstances allow, we will tell you why and give you a chance to respond. You may stop using our Games at any time by uninstalling them, and may request deletion of your data as described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Games and this website are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Games will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory consumer protection law.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MeanwhileX will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or virtual items, arising out of or relating to your use of the Games.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Games is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us or through Google Play for the Game in question during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD 50.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MeanwhileX against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Games, or your violation of the rights of a third party. This does not apply to consumers to the extent such an obligation would be unenforceable under applicable consumer law.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of Ukraine have jurisdiction over any dispute.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. EU consumers may also use the European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact [email protected] — most issues are resolved quickly this way.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as our Games change or as the law requires. We will revise the “Last updated” date above, and for material changes we will give reasonable notice in the affected Game or on this website. If you do not accept the updated Terms, stop using the Games.

14. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us regarding the Games.
• Severability. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or reorganisation.
• Third-party terms. Your use of Google Play is also governed by Google’s terms, which you enter into with Google, not with us.
