These Terms of Use apply to the use of the app "Chaos – Forbidden Words" (hereinafter "App") for iOS, available through the Apple App Store.

The provider of the App is:

By downloading, installing, and/or using the App, you accept these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you may not use the App.

Chaos – Forbidden Words is a local party game ("pass-and-play"): two teams take turns competing on the same device and must describe terms without using certain "forbidden words." The App offers several game modes (including Normal Mode, Chaos Mode, and the optional Special Mode with Duel Mode and Yes/No Mode), several word categories, adjustable round times/counts, achievements, and settings for language, music, sound effects, and vibration.

The App works entirely offline on the respective device. There is no online multiplayer function, no server synchronization between devices, and no way to communicate with other users or share content within the App.

Using the App does not require registration or a user account. There are therefore no login credentials you would need to safeguard, and no way for us to identify you as a person. Further details on the data stored on the device (e.g., settings, game statistics, purchase status) can be found in the Privacy Policy.

The App is aimed at a general audience in accordance with the age rating listed in the App Store. Users who have not yet reached the age of 18 ("minors") may only use the App with the prior consent of their parents or legal guardians.

The in-app purchase described in Section 9 is always processed through the payment account (Apple ID) set up on the respective device. If a minor is a user of the App, they may only make the in-app purchase with the prior consent of the person to whom that payment account belongs (typically a parent or legal guardian); without this consent, the minor is not entitled to complete the purchase. We expressly recommend that parents/legal guardians use the parental control and purchase authorization features available in iOS (e.g., Screen Time restrictions or "Ask to Buy"/Family Sharing) to control or entirely prevent in-app purchases by minors. The "Parents' Guide" within the App provides an additional overview.

We grant you a simple, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable right to install and use the App on iOS-powered devices under your control, for private, non-commercial purposes, within the scope permitted by Apple's App Store Terms of Use. No further rights are granted, in particular no right to reproduce, distribute, publicly communicate, modify, or reverse-engineer the App, except where mandatorily permitted by law.

You agree not to use the App to:

• violate applicable law or infringe the rights of third parties,
• decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App or its content, except where expressly permitted by law,
• circumvent, manipulate, or disable technical protection measures (e.g., those securing the in-app purchase),
• use the App by automated means (bots, scripts) or in a manner that impairs the functionality of the App, our systems, or the systems of third parties (e.g., Apple, Google).

All content of the App — including but not limited to design, graphics, icons, text, category and word lists, sound and music files, animations, and source code — is protected by copyright or other proprietary rights and, unless otherwise indicated, is owned by Onur Sitar (OnPoy Studios) or lawfully used by us. Use of this content beyond the intended use of the App, in particular its commercial reuse, is not permitted without our prior consent.

When setting up a match, you can assign your own team names. These names are processed exclusively locally on your device, are not transmitted to us, and are not viewed by us (see the Privacy Policy for details). You are solely responsible for not choosing names that infringe the rights of third parties or contain offensive, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful content; however, since these names are visible exclusively locally on your own device and are not shared, this has no effect toward third parties or us.

The App offers an optional, one-time (non-consumable) in-app purchase called "Special Mode" (product ID de.sitar.chaos.specialmodes). This purchase permanently unlocks Duel Mode and Yes/No Mode as well as additional categories; it also removes advertising (banner and interstitial ads, see Section 12) after purchase. The purchase is voluntary; the App remains fully playable without it, using the base modes (Normal Mode, Chaos Mode).

Special Mode is tied to the Apple Account with which the purchase was made and can be unlocked again on other devices using the same Apple Account via "Restore Purchases." For the conditions under which minors may make this purchase, see Section 4.

The current price of the in-app purchase is shown to you in the Apple App Store before you complete the purchase. Payment is processed exclusively through the Apple App Store; we ourselves do not receive or process any payment, credit card, or banking data. Apple is the appropriate point of contact for questions about payments, invoices, or refunds; you can submit such inquiries via your Apple ID purchase settings or directly to Apple.

For contracts concerning digital content not supplied on a physical medium — such as the "Special Mode" in-app purchase — you may generally be entitled to a statutory right of withdrawal (usually 14 days). However, this right of withdrawal expires prematurely if Apple, as the selling party, has begun performance of the purchase after you have expressly agreed that performance may begin before the withdrawal period has expired, and you have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal. Since the purchase itself is processed through the Apple App Store, the exact terms in this regard are governed by Apple's purchase conditions.

In the ad-supported mode of use (i.e., as long as Special Mode has not been purchased), the App displays advertisements via the Google AdMob service (banner and interstitial ads). Further details on the data processed in this context and on your consent options (including via the Google consent form and the "Ad Settings" menu item) can be found in the Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the content, availability, or accuracy of the advertisements served by Google itself; any claims relating to a specific advertisement must be addressed to the respective advertiser or to Google.

We always endeavor to keep the App functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, in particular not for outages beyond our control (e.g., outages of the App Store, of Apple services, of Google AdMob, or of your internet access). We reserve the right to further develop, modify, expand, restrict, or discontinue support for the App or individual features, content, or categories at any time, insofar as this is reasonable taking your legitimate interests into account. Already purchased in-app purchases (see Section 9) remain substantially unaffected by this.

We endeavor to provide the App carefully and free of errors, but we cannot guarantee that the App will be free of errors at all times or will meet particular expectations. Statutory warranty rights (e.g., for defects in the purchased in-app purchase) remain unaffected. Insofar as the App is provided free of charge (basic use without the in-app purchase), the limited statutory provisions for digital content supplied without payment apply.

We are liable without limitation for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health, and in cases of intent and gross negligence. For damages arising from the slightly negligent breach of material contractual obligations (obligations whose fulfillment is a prerequisite for the proper performance of use in the first place and on whose observance you may generally rely), our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Any further liability is excluded. These limitations of liability also apply for the benefit of our vicarious agents. Liability under the Product Liability Act remains unaffected.

These Terms of Use apply for the duration of your use of the App. You may end your use at any time by uninstalling the App. We are entitled to prohibit you from using the App or to take technical measures to block individual features if you violate material provisions of these Terms of Use (in particular Section 6). Already purchased in-app purchases do not automatically lose their validity as a result, insofar as continued provision remains technically and legally possible and reasonable.

Since the App is distributed through the Apple App Store, the following clarifications additionally apply to the relationship between you, us, and Apple Inc. or Apple Distribution International Ltd. ("Apple"):

• These Terms of Use exist between you and us as the provider of the App, not with Apple. Apple is not a party to these Terms of Use and bears no responsibility with regard to the App.
• Apple is not obligated to provide any form of maintenance or support services for the App.
• In the event of the App's failure to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple; Apple may then refund you the purchase price for the App or the in-app purchase. To the extent permitted by law, Apple otherwise has no further warranty obligations whatsoever with respect to the App.
• We, as the provider, and not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App — such as product liability claims, claims arising from a failure to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims relating to consumer protection laws — unless otherwise provided in these Terms of Use or under mandatory law.
• Should you claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights, we, as the provider, and not Apple, are responsible for the investigation and handling of any such claim.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo, or that has been designated by the US Government as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms of Use, and Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms of Use against you as a third-party beneficiary.

We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Use, in particular where the App's features, integrated third-party services, or legal requirements change. We will inform you of material changes, insofar as legally required, in a suitable manner (e.g., the next time the App is started). The current version is available within the App under "Settings → Terms of Use."

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer and have your habitual residence in another country, mandatory consumer-protection provisions of that country remain unaffected by this choice of law. Where a jurisdiction agreement is permissible, the place of jurisdiction is, to the extent legally permitted, the registered seat of the provider.
