1. Parties and acceptance

By downloading and using Lifetale you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the app and uninstall it. The app is distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store; the stores' own terms also apply. For Apple: in addition to these terms, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) applies (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/). Apple is not a party to these terms and is not responsible for maintenance, support or legal claims relating to the app.

2. Age, modes and the parent's role

Lifetale's recommended age is 13+: the game deals in text with death, illness, grief, separation, addiction and smoking/alcohol. Even so, anyone can install the app; there is a separate mode for children.

1. On first launch an age screen appears (birth month and year). Depending on your answer the app switches to one of three modes: kids mode (under 13, and anyone who does not answer), teen mode (13-17) and adult mode (18+). The mode is stored on your device only. See Privacy Policy §11 and the Child Safety page.
2. In kids mode there are no accounts, purchases, subscriptions, gifts, ads, leaderboard or friends; the game is completely free. The clauses of these terms on accounts, the ink economy, purchases, subscriptions, gifts, the leaderboard and advertising (§6-§12) do not apply in kids mode.
3. Give your age truthfully. The age screen relies on what you tell it; it is not identity verification. If a wrong age is given, the protections of each mode cannot be delivered.
4. The parent's or guardian's role. If you are under 18 (teen mode included), you must have a parent's or guardian's consent before buying, subscribing or sending a gift; we suggest using the stores' family and spending controls (Google Play Family Link, Apple Ask to Buy / Screen Time). Leaving kids mode requires a "parent gate": this is friction, not identity verification, and an adult (18+) should open it. Supervising a child's use of the device and the app is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

3. Licence

We grant you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable licence to use the app on your own device for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not sell, rent, reverse-engineer (except as the law permits) or redistribute modified copies of the app, manipulate the economy or leaderboards with automated tools or cheating, or sell accounts or ink.

The texts, images, sound and design in the game belong to Erdoğan Yasin Peker. Third-party components keep their licences (Feather icons — MIT, Capacitor — MIT, fonts — SIL Open Font License / Apache 2.0).

4. Fiction notice — the game gives no advice

Lifetale is fiction. Its events, numbers, health effects, income figures and outcomes are written for game balance; they are not medical, psychological, legal, educational or financial advice. The game touches on death, illness, grief, separation, smoking/alcohol and addiction as part of the story, not as guidance. If you are struggling in real life, please talk to a professional. In Türkiye, call 112 in an emergency or 184 SABİM for psychological support; elsewhere, use your local emergency and crisis lines.

5. AI-generated content

The game's images were generated with AI image models; any resemblance to real people is coincidental. No AI model runs on your input inside the game.

6. Your account

No cloud account is created in kids mode; this section applies to teen and adult mode.

1. In teen and adult mode the cloud account is created anonymously; no e-mail or phone is asked. You may link Google or an e-mail address, which backs up your progress and unlocks leaderboard and friends.
2. You can delete your account at any time (Settings → Delete my account permanently, or the web page). Deletion cannot be undone (linked accounts have a 14-day change-of-mind window); remaining ink is erased. See Privacy Policy §10.
3. If you seriously breach these terms (manipulating the economy, using fake receipts, cheating the leaderboard, harassment, trying to access someone else's account) your account may be restricted or closed. Where possible you are told first and can appeal at support@yaspergames.com.
4. You may not transfer or sell your account.

7. Ink — an in-game virtual unit

In kids mode ink is unlimited and free, kept on the device; the clauses below describe the ink economy in teen and adult mode.

1. Ink is a limited right of use that unlocks certain actions (opening decisions/episodes, undo, rebirth); it is not money, a deposit, a security, a crypto-asset or a payment instrument.
2. Ink has no real-world value: it cannot be cashed out, transferred between accounts, sold or inherited. Exception: gift items in §10.
3. You acquire no ownership of ink; you only have a right to use it in the game.
4. Amounts, ways to earn, prices and spending rules may change. When the economy is rebalanced your purchased balance is not deleted; only future earnings and costs may change.
5. Ink earned for free (daily refill, hourly drops, rewarded ads, streak and goal rewards) and purchased ink are not distinguished.
6. If your account closes or the service ends, remaining ink expires without compensation, subject to your statutory rights.
7. The ink balance is computed on the server from a ledger; the number on your device is an estimate that is corrected when it syncs.

8. Purchases, refunds and withdrawal

There are no purchases in kids mode. In teen mode purchases follow the store's parental controls (§2).

1. All payments are taken by Google Play or the Apple App Store; for billing, refunds and disputes the store is your first contact: Google — https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637 · Apple — https://support.apple.com/billing. Prices and taxes are shown in the store for your country.
2. Ink packs and the Starter Pack are digital content performed immediately on purchase (the balance is credited at once). The Starter Pack can be bought once per account.
3. For digital content supplied immediately with your consent, the right of withdrawal does not apply (Turkish Distance Contracts Regulation art. 15/1-ğ; for EU users, you expressly waive withdrawal once performance begins). By buying on the purchase screen you request immediate performance.
4. If a purchase is faulty, incomplete or undelivered (payment taken, content not credited), write to support@yaspergames.com; we will check the records and either complete the content or refer you to the store for a refund.
5. For accidental purchases the stores' own refund processes apply (Google Play: refunds can generally be requested within 48 hours; Apple: https://reportaproblem.apple.com). The decision is the store's.
6. Your statutory consumer rights are preserved.

9. VIP subscription (auto-renewing)

No subscription is sold or offered in kids mode.

This section follows the subscription-disclosure rules of Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Renewal and cancellation:

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account (iOS) or Google Play account (Android) at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, with no partial refund for that period (subject to store rules and mandatory law).
• iOS: Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions (or App Store → profile → Subscriptions). Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Lifetale / Hayat Dosyası.
• Uninstalling the app or deleting your account does not cancel the subscription. Cancel it in the store separately.
• If the price increases the store notifies you in advance; if you do not consent, the subscription does not renew (store rules).
• Refund requests go to the store (§8.5). VIP depends on our server's receipt verification; if the store refunds or cancels, the VIP right ends.
• The subscription works on all devices where you use the same store account, and can be restored with "Restore purchases".

10. Gifts

Gifts cannot be sent or received in kids mode.

1. Gift items (gift ink packs, a 30-day VIP gift) are consumable digital content sent to another player using the recipient's player code. Check whose code it is before sending: after purchase the recipient cannot be changed.
2. A gift may be refunded only to the original purchaser, under store rules; it cannot be transferred to another recipient or exchanged.
3. When the recipient opens the gift in the app the content is credited to their account. If the recipient's account has been deleted, or blocking/restrictions apply, delivery may be refused; in that case the payment should be refunded through the store.
4. A VIP gift is not a subscription and does not renew.

11. Leaderboard, friends and conduct

There is no leaderboard, friends list or quick messaging in kids mode; what follows applies to teen and adult mode.

1. When you link an account, your profile name, player code and records appear on the public leaderboard. Do not use your real name. Names that insult, hate, advertise, impersonate or are obscene may be changed and count as violations.
2. Players can send each other only one of 24 ready-made messages. Harassment, spam or abuse can be reported; violations lead to warnings, name locks, or temporary or permanent restrictions. You can block users, close requests and turn on streamer mode.
3. You are exposed to other players' content only in this limited way; if you still see something inappropriate, write to support@yaspergames.com.

12. Advertising

There are no ads in kids mode. In teen and adult mode rewarded ads play only when you start them (at most 3 a day); there are no forced ads. In teen mode ads are not personalised and their content level is capped. The ad network (Google AdMob) decides ad content; Erdoğan Yasin Peker is not responsible for advertisers' products or claims. Report inappropriate ads.

13. Service and limitation of liability

1. The app is provided "as is"; uninterrupted, error-free operation or identical performance on every device is not promised.
2. If your device storage fills, the operating system clears app data or you change devices, local records may be lost; cloud backup for linked accounts reduces the risk, anonymous accounts have no backup.
3. To the maximum extent the law allows, Erdoğan Yasin Peker is not liable for indirect damage, data loss or loss of profit. Wilful misconduct, gross negligence and mandatory consumer-law provisions are outside this limitation.
4. If a clause is held invalid, the others stay in force.
5. If we decide to end the service we will announce it in the app at least 30 days ahead (store rules on remaining paid rights are preserved).

14. Privacy

Personal data is covered by a separate document: https://yaspergames.com/en/privacy.html. It forms part of these terms.

15. Changes

If the terms change, the version and date are updated; the current text is at https://yaspergames.com/en/terms.html. Material changes are announced in the app. Continuing to use the app after a change counts as acceptance; if you do not accept, you can uninstall and delete your account (cancel any subscription separately).

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye; without prejudice to your consumer status, the courts and enforcement offices of Türkiye have jurisdiction. You keep your right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts. If you live outside Türkiye, the mandatory consumer provisions of your country are preserved.
