1. Acceptance of these Terms
Throughout this document, “Studio”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Tuan Indie Studio, the solo studio operated by Tuan. “Games” (or “Services”) means every game, app, website, and related service we publish — including LuaLand, Hueventure, Calm Drift, ColorMix, and any title we release in the future — across the App Store, Google Play, the web, and other platforms. “You” means the person using our Games.
By downloading, installing, accessing, or playing any of our Games, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our Games. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use our Games with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
2. One agreement for every game
These Terms apply equally to all of our Games. Playing more than one of our titles does not create separate agreements — the same rules apply everywhere unless a specific game presents additional terms at the point of use. Where a platform (such as Apple or Google) imposes its own end-user license terms, those apply in addition to these Terms.
3. Licence to play
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play our Games for your own private, non-commercial entertainment. We keep all rights we do not expressly grant you.
You agree not to:
- Copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from our Games, except where the law expressly allows it.
- Sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit any part of our Games without our written permission.
- Cheat, use unauthorised bots or automation, exploit bugs, or tamper with game files, save data, or network traffic.
- Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
4. Purchases, virtual items & currency
Some Games offer optional in-app purchases — for example removing ads, cosmetic items, boosters, or virtual currency, hearts, coins, and similar in-game items (“Virtual Items”). All purchases are processed by the platform store (Apple App Store or Google Play), not by us, and are subject to that store’s payment terms.
- Virtual Items have no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred outside the Game.
- You are buying a limited licence to use Virtual Items inside the Game; you do not own them.
- Prices and availability of Virtual Items may change at any time.
- Refunds are handled by the platform store under its refund policy. Please contact Apple or Google for purchase disputes.
- If a Game is discontinued, unused Virtual Items may become unavailable, subject to any rights you have under applicable law.
5. Advertising
Several of our Games are supported by advertising, including banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads served through third-party networks such as Google AdMob. Where a Game offers a paid “remove ads” option or equivalent, purchasing it disables the relevant ads on that device. Ad content comes from third parties and is governed by their policies; we are not responsible for products or services promoted in ads. How ads use data is described in our Privacy Policy.
6. Your conduct
You agree to use our Games lawfully and respectfully. In any social, leaderboard, or multiplayer feature, you must not upload or share content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, deceptive, or infringing, and you must not attempt to disrupt other players’ experience or the security of our Services.
7. Intellectual property
Our Games and everything in them — code, art, characters, worlds, music, sound, text, and the studio and game names and logos — are owned by the Studio or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. The names and brands of our Games, including those listed above, are our trademarks. You may capture and share screenshots, clips, and streams of gameplay for personal, non-commercial purposes.
8. Third-party services
Our Games rely on third-party platforms and services to function, which may include Apple App Store and Apple Game Center, Google Play and Google Play Services, Google AdMob, and analytics providers. Your use of those features is also subject to the relevant third party’s terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not control them.
9. Availability & updates
We are a solo studio and provide our Games on an ongoing, best-effort basis. We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue any Game or feature — including online services and servers — at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of a Game.
10. Disclaimers
Our Games are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our Games will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Studio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) our Games. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the relevant Game in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
12. Termination
You may stop using our Games at any time by uninstalling them. We may suspend or terminate your access to a Game if you breach these Terms or use a Game in a way that could harm us, other players, or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will continue to apply.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be signalled in-game or on this website. By continuing to use our Games after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Tuan Indie Studio is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Nothing here removes any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live.
