Spades (the "App") Effective date: 30 September 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and GREWON TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE LIMITED ("we", "us", "our") about your use of the Spades app for iPhone. By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country for using online services, if higher). If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App and make purchases only with the permission and supervision of a parent or guardian, who is responsible for your use. You confirm that you are allowed to use the App under the laws where you live.
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment, and as allowed by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple's usage rules. This is a licence, not a sale. We keep all rights not expressly granted.
You and we acknowledge that:
These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
If the App fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App, if any. To the maximum extent allowed by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
We, not Apple, are responsible for handling claims about the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that it fails to meet legal requirements, and consumer-protection claims.
If a third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must comply with applicable third-party terms (for example, your wireless data service agreement) when using the App.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Questions, complaints or claims about the App can be sent to us.
Spades is a card game for four players in two partnerships. You can play alone against computer-controlled players ("bots"), or with friends nearby over Bluetooth. The App is for entertainment only. It does not offer gambling, betting or real-money prizes, and playing it does not give you a chance to win money or anything of value.
The App has experience points, levels, coins, streaks and achievements ("Virtual Items"). Virtual Items have no cash value, cannot be sold, exchanged, transferred or redeemed for money, and are not your property. We may change, rebalance, reset or remove Virtual Items at any time. Your progress is stored on your device, so it may be lost if you delete the App, reset or replace your device, or if data is cleared. We are not responsible for lost progress.
The App offers a one-time "lifetime" Premium purchase that removes ads. The price is shown in the App in your local currency before you buy.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. The purchase is managed by Apple and processed through our purchase provider, RevenueCat.
"Lifetime" means for as long as the App is offered and supported, not for your lifetime or the lifetime of your device. Premium removes ads only; it does not promise any other feature.
Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. Except where the law gives you other rights, purchases are otherwise non-refundable.
You can restore a past purchase on any device signed in with the same Apple ID using Settings → Store → Restore purchases.
We may change the price for future buyers at any time.
Unless you have bought Premium, the App shows advertising, including a short rewarded video after each round. Ads are provided by third parties, and we do not control their content. We are not responsible for advertisers or for anything you do in response to an ad. You must not click ads artificially or use tools to skip or fake them. Rewards for watching an ad, if any, may change or be removed at any time. Our Privacy Policy explains how advertising data is used.
When you play with others over Bluetooth:
Your player name is visible to the other players. Choose a name that is not offensive, unlawful, or misleading, and that does not impersonate anyone.
The player who hosts a table controls it. If a player leaves or disconnects, a bot may take their seat, and the host may end the game for everyone.
We do not monitor local games and are not responsible for other players' conduct or for anything they do with information they see on their own devices.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi range and reliability depend on your devices and surroundings, and we do not promise an uninterrupted connection.
You agree not to:
copy, modify, translate, decompile, reverse-engineer or extract the source code of the App, except as the law allows;
cheat, or use bots, scripts, hacks, jailbreak-only tools or other means to gain an unfair advantage, alter the game or its scoring, or interfere with other players;
circumvent or disable ads, purchase checks, or security features;
use the App to harass, abuse or threaten anyone, or to break any law;
rent, lease, sell, sublicense or distribute the App, or use it for a commercial purpose;
attempt to disrupt or overload the App or the services it uses.
The App, including its software, game design, artwork, animations, sounds, music, text and the name "Spades" as used in the App, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. Spades is a traditional card game and no one owns its rules; these Terms give you no rights in our material except the licence in section 2. Other trademarks belong to their owners. The App is not affiliated with or endorsed by any third-party brand.
Some components are provided by third parties under their own licences. See Third-party notices at the end of these Terms.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects and how it is used. By using the App you acknowledge that policy.
We may release updates, add or remove features, or change or discontinue the App (or any part of it) at any time. Some updates may be needed to keep using the App. We do not promise that the App will always be available, error-free or compatible with every device or iOS version.
You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access at any time if you break these Terms or if we stop offering the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 5, 10, 14 to 17) will survive.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or free of errors or harmful components, or that bots, scoring or results will meet your expectations. Nothing in these Terms limits any warranty or right that the law gives you as a consumer and that cannot be excluded.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we, our directors, employees, licensors and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost progress, data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us through the App in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) INR 1,000 (or the equivalent). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
To the extent allowed by law, you agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the App.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts at [Gujarat], India have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes about these Terms or the App.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another place with mandatory consumer-protection laws, you keep the benefit of those laws and the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence. Please contact us first so that we can try to resolve the issue informally.
We may update these Terms. We will change the effective date above and, for material changes, notify you in the App or on the App Store page. If you keep using the App after the changes take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the App.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the App. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours as part of a merger, sale or reorganization. Where Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA") applies, it supplements these Terms, and in a conflict on matters it covers, the Standard EULA prevails.
