Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By downloading, installing or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

2. Eligibility and minimum age

• The Game is intended for players aged 13 and older.
• If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Game only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for any purchases made.
• Parents and guardians can require purchase approval through Google Play settings.

3. License to use the Game

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and play the Game on a device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial entertainment. The Game is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted remain with us.

4. Player name, local data and progress

• The Game has no account registration, login, email/password or cloud save. You only enter a player name, which is stored on your device.
• Progress, saved games and settings are stored locally on your device. If you uninstall the app, clear its data, or lose or damage your device, your progress may be lost permanently. We cannot recover it.
• Restoring purchases does not restore progress. It only restores access to content you bought (see Section 6).
• You are responsible for your device and for activity on it.

5. Virtual currency and digital content

• All money in the Game, including Cash, Bank and "$", is virtual currency that exists only inside the Game.
• Virtual currency has no real-world monetary value, cannot be purchased with real money, cannot be exchanged for real money or anything else, and cannot be transferred outside the Game or to other players.
• Minigames (Plinko, Coin Catch, Cup Shuffle), properties, items and rent only earn or spend virtual currency. The Game is not gambling and offers no real-money prizes.
• We may correct or adjust balances, items or match results caused by bugs, errors or cheating.
• Digital content (such as themes and maps) is licensed to you, not sold as property you own.

6. Purchases, restore and refunds

The Game offers optional non-consumable (one-time) in-app purchases:

• Payments are processed by Google through Google Play Billing, not by us. Prices are shown in Google Play before you buy. We do not receive your card number or payment details.
• A purchase gives you a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use that content in the Game. This license may be revoked if you breach these Terms.
• You can restore purchases from inside the Game using the same Google Play account you bought them with.
• Refunds follow Google Play's refund policies and are requested through Google Play. If a refund is granted or a payment is reversed, access to that content may be removed.
• In an online room, only the room leader (host) needs to own a premium map. Other players may play that map without buying it, but they do not gain ownership of or a license to it.
• There is no player-to-player trading. Purchased content cannot be sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

7. Redeem codes

• We may provide redeem codes (access codes) that unlock specific products, such as themes or maps.
• Codes are personal, have no cash value, and must not be sold, traded or published. Codes may have usage limits or expiry dates.
• We may cancel codes or revoke access granted by a code if it was misused, sold, or obtained without authorization.
• The data processed when you redeem a code is described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Ads and third-party services

• The Game shows full-screen (interstitial) ads from Google AdMob, usually after a match ends.
• Ad and privacy consent is managed through Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) and, where available in your region, can be changed in Settings → Privacy.
• The Game relies on third-party services, including Google Play, Google Play Billing and Google AdMob/UMP. Your use of those services is also subject to Google's terms and privacy policies.
• We are not responsible for the content of ads, or for third-party websites, apps or services that ads link to.

9. Online features and fair play

Online play uses private rooms joined with a room code, for 2–4 players. To run a room, the Game creates a temporary Guest session on our server. The server validates every game action (server-authoritative) and stores temporary room checkpoints. Your player name and character are visible to other players in the same room.

To keep the Game fair and fun, you must not:

• cheat in any way;
• modify the app, save files or game data, or use a modified version of the Game;
• use bots, scripts, macros or other automation to play;
• deliberately exploit bugs or glitches. If you find one, please report it to us;
• attack, overload or disrupt our servers and infrastructure, or try to access them without permission;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Game or its server protocol, except where applicable law allows;
• use a player name that is offensive, hateful, sexual, unlawful, or impersonates someone else, including LightTerm Studio; or
• deliberately ruin matches or harass other players.

10. Sanctions

If you breach these Terms, we may take one or more of the following actions, depending on how serious the breach is:

• remove you from a room or end your online session;
• void match results or adjust affected game data;
• restrict or block your access to online features, temporarily or permanently;
• cancel redeem codes and revoke access granted by them; and/or
• revoke your license to digital content where the breach relates to that content, for example forged purchases or code abuse.

If you think we made a mistake, contact us by email (Section 19).

11. Service availability

• Online features depend on our servers and your internet connection. Servers may experience outages, maintenance or updates. We do not guarantee any level of uptime.
• Inactive rooms and expired sessions may be closed automatically. Disconnected matches may not be resumable.
• We may change, add or remove features, maps, items or game rules, and may discontinue online services, at any time. Offline modes (Single Player, Tutorial, Pass & Play) do not depend on our servers.

12. Privacy

The data the Game processes, including for online play, redeem codes, purchases and ads, is described in the Metro Mogul Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

13. Intellectual property

The Game and all of its content, including code, graphics, characters, maps, music, sound effects, text, the "Metro Mogul" name and logo, belong to LightTerm Studio or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Some third-party components, such as the Godot Engine and the Noto Sans font, are licensed separately under their own licenses. Except as allowed by law, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or create derivative works from the Game or any part of it.

14. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LightTerm Studio is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, progress or virtual currency, arising from your use of or inability to use the Game. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Game is limited to the amount you paid for in-game purchases in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your access to the Game or its online features if you breach these Terms, or if we discontinue the Game or its services. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 5, 13, 14 and 16, continue to apply.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Indonesia. Any dispute relating to the Game will first be resolved through good-faith discussion. Please email us so we can try to resolve it. If it is not resolved within 30 days, the dispute will be settled by the competent district court in Indonesia, without affecting your rights under applicable consumer protection laws.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when the Game's features change. We will announce changes by updating this page and the Effective date at the top. For significant changes, we may also give notice in the Game or on the Game's Google Play page. If you keep using the Game after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

18. General

• If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• If we do not enforce a provision, we do not give up our right to enforce it later.
• These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game.
