Terms of Service

Effective date: October 15, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of Shadecrest ("the App"), developed by AHEM Studios. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. License Grant

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on a personal device for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes, subject to these Terms.

You may not:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App,
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except to the extent permitted by applicable law,
  • use the App for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent, or
  • attempt to circumvent any technical measures we use to protect the App or its online services.

2. User Content & Conduct

The App allows you to set a display name visible on public leaderboards. You are responsible for your display name and agree not to use names that are offensive, obscene, defamatory, discriminatory, threatening, or that impersonate another person or entity.

We reserve the right to remove or reset any display name that violates these guidelines, without prior notice.

You agree not to:

  • use automated tools, bots, or scripts to interact with the App or its online services,
  • submit falsified scores or manipulate leaderboard rankings,
  • interfere with or disrupt the App's servers, networks, or online services,
  • exploit bugs or vulnerabilities for competitive advantage — please report them via the in-app feedback tool instead.

3. Online Services

The App provides optional online features including global leaderboards, cloud backup, run telemetry, and bug reporting. These services require a network connection and rely on third-party infrastructure (Supabase, Sentry).

We do not guarantee that online services will be available at all times. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any online feature at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including maintenance, security, or cost considerations. We are not liable for any loss of data, scores, or progress resulting from service changes or interruptions.

4. Intellectual Property

All content in the App — including but not limited to artwork, text, card designs, game mechanics, character designs, music, sound effects, and code — is owned by AHEM Studios or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

"Shadecrest," "AHEM Studios," and associated logos and trade dress are trademarks of AHEM Studios. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

5. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect information. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL AHEM STUDIOS, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP, IF ANY.

8. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App or its online services at any time, without prior notice, if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends and you should uninstall it from your devices.

Sections 4, 6, 7, and 9 survive any termination of these Terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which AHEM Studios operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Effective date" at the top of this document. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
