Slimy StudioTerms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Slimy Studio ("we", "us", "our") about your use of Slime Climb (the "Game"). By downloading or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Game.
1. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Game's online features (sign-in, cloud save and the leaderboard). If you're under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian's permission to play.
2. Your licence to play
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. The Game, including its art, characters, music, code and the "Slime Climb" name, belongs to Slimy Studio. You may not copy, modify, sell, rent, reverse engineer, or redistribute it, except where the law allows this.
3. Your account, sign-in and cloud save
You can sign in with Google Play Games. Signing in links your player to your Google account so your progress, coins and purchased items are saved online and can be restored when you sign in on another phone. If you don't sign in, your progress is only stored on that phone and can be lost if you uninstall the Game, clear its data or change phones.
Keep your Google account secure. You're responsible for activity on your account. Your account is personal and can't be sold or transferred.
4. The leaderboard
When you choose a leaderboard name:
- it must not be offensive, hateful, sexual, or impersonate someone else;
- it must not include personal details such as your full name, phone number or address;
- we may change, hide or remove any name, without notice, if we think it breaks these rules.
Your leaderboard name, best distance, country flag and slime are visible to all players.
5. Fair play
Don't cheat. That includes modifying the Game, using hacks, bots, exploits or emulators to get scores, coins or items you didn't earn or pay for, abusing refunds, or interfering with our servers. If we believe you've cheated, we may remove scores, reset progress or coins, or suspend or close your account.
6. Coins, purchases and in-game items
- What coins are. Coins are a virtual in-game currency. You can earn them by playing, get them as rewards (for example for watching an optional ad), or buy them with real money. They can only be spent on items inside the Game, such as slimes, goo shots and extras.
- A licence, not property. Coins and items are a limited licence to use content in the Game. They have no real-world money value and can't be sold, transferred, traded, or exchanged for money, outside the Game or between players.
- Buying coins. Purchases are made through Google Play (or the Apple App Store on iPhone, if released there) and are also subject to that store's terms. Prices are shown in the store before you buy and include any applicable taxes. Coins are added to your account once the store confirms the payment.
- Refunds. All purchases are final once the coins have been delivered, except where the law (including the Australian Consumer Law) or the store's refund policy gives you a right to a refund. Request refunds through Google Play or Apple. If a purchase is refunded or charged back, we may remove the matching coins, or items bought with them, from your account.
- Didn't get your coins? Email hello@slimystudio.com with your order number and we'll sort it out.
- Keeping purchases. Sign in with Google Play Games to keep purchased coins and items when you change phones. Purchases made without signing in are stored on that phone only.
- Changes. We may change prices, items, rewards and how much things cost in coins in updates. We won't take away coins or items you already have, except as described in these Terms.
- Under 18s need a parent or guardian's permission before buying anything.
7. Ads
The Game is free and includes ads from third-party ad networks. Some ads are optional, for example watching a video to earn bonus coins; rewards are only given if the ad plays to the end. Ad networks may use data as described in our Privacy Policy. We aren't responsible for the content of third-party ads or the websites they link to.
8. Updates and availability
We may update, change or stop parts of the Game at any time, including online features such as cloud save and the leaderboard. Some updates may be needed to keep playing. If we ever close the Game's online features, we'll give reasonable notice in the Game. We try to keep the Game running smoothly, but we don't promise it will always be available or free of bugs.
9. Third-party services
Sign-in, cloud save, purchases and ads rely on services from Google, Unity and ad networks. Your use of those services is also covered by their own terms.
10. Consumer law and our liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that can't be excluded. To the extent the law allows:
- the Game is provided "as is" and "as available";
- we aren't liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of coins, items or progress that you earned for free;
- if we're liable for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee, our liability is limited to supplying the Game again or paying the cost of having it supplied again.
11. Ending these Terms
You can stop playing at any time by uninstalling the Game, and you can ask us to delete your account (see our Privacy Policy). Deleting your account removes your coins and items, and they can't be restored or refunded. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms. If we close it for any other reason, we'll refund unused coins you bought where the law requires it.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the Game. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts.
