These Terms are a binding agreement between you and JMB Assets LLC, doing business as StackForge Studios (“StackForge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to StackForge games, our non-health studio apps, related accounts and online features, and stackforgestudios.com (together, the “Service”). They do not apply to PlateStack.
By downloading, buying, accessing, creating an account for, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and accounts
- Our games may be playable without an account. Creating a StackForge account requires the user to be at least 13.
- If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review these Terms and supervise your use.
- You must provide accurate account information, protect your credentials, and notify us at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
- You can delete an account by following our account deletion instructions.
2. License and ownership
Subject to these Terms, we give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. StackForge or its licensors owns the Service, including its software, art, audio, writing, brands, game systems, and designs. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, redistribute, or commercially exploit them except where applicable law expressly permits.
3. Free access, purchases, and Play Pass
Features, prices, billing periods, trials, and included products are shown before purchase and may vary by platform or country. The store’s terms control where they conflict with this section.
- Free access: included features and limits vary by product and may change as a product is improved.
- Lifetime or Full Game Unlock: a one-time purchase unlocks the identified eligible title. It does not unlock every StackForge product.
- StackForge Play Pass: an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks eligible StackForge games and apps while active. One Good Thing is included. PlateStack and any product not explicitly marked Play Pass eligible are excluded.
- Billing: Apple or Google processes mobile purchases. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
- Cancellation: manage or cancel a subscription in the store where it was purchased. Deleting an app or account does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds: the applicable store handles refund requests under its rules and applicable law.
4. Game rules, Daily modes, and leaderboards
Scores, ranks, streaks, Daily results, seeds, and competition windows depend on the rules shown in each game. We may correct, remove, or refuse a result reasonably connected to a bug, unsupported build, tampering, automation, impossible play, account abuse, or a service outage.
- Do not use bots, modified clients, exploits, automation, or coordinated manipulation to gain an unfair advantage.
- Rankings may change when late results arrive, invalid entries are removed, or a tie-breaking rule is applied.
- A network, device, clock, or service failure may prevent a result from being recorded. We do not guarantee that every run will sync or rank.
- Virtual rewards, coins, hints, relics, or other in-game items have no cash value and cannot be transferred outside the Service unless a feature expressly says otherwise.
5. Social features and user content
You keep ownership of content you submit. You give us a non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display, and make technical copies of it only as needed to provide, protect, or operate the feature and make it available to people you intentionally share it with.
Do not post illegal, infringing, deceptive, hateful, threatening, exploitative, or malicious content. Do not harass, impersonate, expose, or endanger another person. We may limit, hide, or remove content or accounts that violate these Terms, but we do not promise to review every submission. Blocking a player can hide or prevent supported social interactions; it is not a guarantee that two people will never appear in the same public ranking.
6. Acceptable use
You may not:
- Use the Service unlawfully, fraudulently, or to violate another person’s rights.
- Probe, overload, disrupt, bypass, or defeat security, access controls, purchase checks, quotas, or technical restrictions.
- Scrape or harvest Service data, create fraudulent accounts, manipulate purchases or referrals, or interfere with another player.
- Reverse engineer or decompile the Service except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
- Use the Service or its content to train, benchmark, or build a competing product without written permission.
7. Updates and availability
We may add, change, rebalance, suspend, or remove features, modes, content, prices, or online services. Updates may be required for continued use or fair competition. We do not guarantee that the Service, a Daily puzzle, leaderboard, cloud save, or purchase service will always be available or error-free.
8. Safety
Our games are entertainment. Do not use an app while driving, crossing traffic, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires your full attention. Take breaks to reduce eye strain and repetitive-motion discomfort. If you have a history of photosensitive seizures, consult a physician before using games with flashing or rapidly changing visuals.
9. Third-party services
The Service may rely on Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Supabase, Expo, Cloudflare, or other providers. Their terms and policies may also apply. We are not responsible for a third-party service outside our control.
For apps obtained through Apple’s App Store, Apple’s then-current Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the app license in addition to these Terms. These Terms are between you and StackForge, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for our Service.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim express, implied, and statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service, scores, puzzles, saves, rankings, purchases, sync, or connected services will be accurate, complete, current, secure, available, uninterrupted, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so some of this section may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, StackForge and its owners, service providers, employees, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunities, or data, arising from or related to the Service.
Our aggregate liability arising from or related to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the affected Service during the twelve months before the event or $50 USD. These limits do not apply where applicable law does not allow them.
12. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete an eligible account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the Service or other users, investigate fraud, comply with law, or address a material or repeated violation of these Terms. Where practical and legally permitted, we will provide notice and an opportunity to appeal. Sections that by their nature should survive—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms, and indemnification—survive termination.
13. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StackForge and its owners, affiliates, employees, and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal expenses arising from your unlawful misuse of the Service, material breach of these Terms, content, or violation of another person’s rights. This does not require indemnification for our own fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or other liability that cannot be shifted by law.
14. Dispute resolution for United States users
Please read this section carefully. It affects your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.
Informal resolution
Before starting arbitration or a lawsuit, the claimant must email [email protected] with an individualized written notice describing the claimant, account email, facts, requested relief, and a good-faith calculation of the amount claimed. The parties will attempt informal resolution for 30 days. Applicable limitation periods are tolled during that period where law permits.
Individual arbitration
Except for the excluded claims below, a dispute arising from these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its then-current Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this provision. Arbitration may occur by documents, phone, video, or in person as the rules provide. We will pay fees the rules require a business to pay; each party otherwise bears its own attorneys’ fees unless law or the arbitrator authorizes an award.
Exclusions and waivers
Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court or seek temporary or emergency injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property, confidential information, account security, or against unauthorized access. Nothing prevents a consumer from seeking public injunctive relief where that right cannot be waived.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and StackForge waive trial by jury and agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity—not in a class, collective, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general proceeding.
Opt out
You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days after first accepting these Terms or this arbitration provision. Include your full name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out.
If part of this arbitration provision is unenforceable, it will be severed and the remainder enforced, except that if the class or representative waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy will proceed in court after arbitrable matters are completed.
15. Governing law, changes, and general terms
These Terms are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 14. For matters not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to state or federal courts located in Delaware, except where applicable law requires another forum. Nothing here removes a mandatory consumer protection where you live.
We may update these Terms as products or laws change. We will provide reasonable advance notice of material changes when required. Changes apply prospectively. A change to arbitration will not apply retroactively to a dispute of which we had actual notice before the change.
- Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any product-specific offer terms are the entire agreement about the Service.
- Severability: if a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified only as much as necessary or severed, and the remainder remains effective.
- No waiver: failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
- Force majeure: we are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
