These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and dumplingfish (a sole proprietorship) ("we", "us") governing your use of our game Mahjong Mini (formerly MahjongNook and MahjongNook Cards) and related services (the "Game"). By downloading, installing, or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.
1. License
We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and play the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms and the rules of the platform you obtained it from. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
2. Accounts
You may play offline without an account. Online play, social features, purchases, and cloud progress require an account. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You must provide accurate information and be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. Virtual items and currency (Jade)
The Game includes virtual currencies ("Jade" and coins) and virtual items (cosmetics and other content). You acknowledge and agree that:
- Virtual currency and items are licensed, not sold, and you receive only a limited license to use them within the Game.
- They have no monetary value, are not real currency, and cannot be redeemed for real money, transferred, sold, or exchanged outside the Game.
- They are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or the policies of the platform store through which you purchased.
- We may manage, regulate, modify, or remove virtual currency and items, and may change prices or the amount of Jade granted, at any time.
- Any virtual currency or items associated with your account expire and are forfeited if your account is terminated or the Game is discontinued, except where prohibited by law.
4. Purchases and refunds
Real-money purchases are processed by the platform store (Apple, Google, Valve/Steam, or Discord) under that store's terms. Refunds are handled according to that store's refund policy and applicable consumer law. We grant purchased items after the store confirms and our systems validate the transaction.
Club subscription
Club is an optional monthly subscription. The price is shown before you buy. It is billed by your app store or by Discord, and it renews automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in your store or Discord account settings; cancelling stops the next renewal, and Club stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. Refunds are handled by the store under its policy. Club benefits may change over time; if we stop offering Club, we will not charge further renewals.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to: cheat, exploit bugs, use unauthorized third-party software or automation, tamper with the Game or its services, disrupt other players or our infrastructure, reverse engineer except as permitted by law, harass others, choose an unlawful or offensive display name, or use the Game for any unlawful purpose. We may take action including content removal, suspension, or termination for violations.
6. User-provided content
Limited content you provide — primarily your display name — must comply with these Terms. You grant us a license to use such content as needed to operate the Game (for example, displaying your name to other players). We may remove content that violates these Terms.
7. Intellectual property
The Game and all related content, trademarks, and materials are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you.
8. Termination
You may stop using the Game at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access or account if you violate these Terms or for legitimate operational, legal, or security reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., virtual-item disclaimers, IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability) will survive.
9. Disclaimers
The Game is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of data, profits, or virtual items. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Game is limited to the amount you paid us (if any) in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the Game or violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
12. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the law of your country of residence.
13. Platform-specific terms
Apple App Store
If you obtained the Game from the Apple App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies and, where it conflicts with these Terms, governs. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple; that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support; and that Apple is a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce these Terms.
Steam
If you obtained the Game on Steam, the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Valve's policies also apply in addition to these Terms.
Google Play
If you obtained the Game from Google Play, Google Play's terms also apply.
Discord
If you play the Game on Discord, Discord's Terms of Service and policies also apply, and purchases made there are processed by Discord.
14. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified where appropriate; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
