PIXEL PETS

Terms of Service

Last updated

1.Service Description

Pixel Pets provides a virtual pet experience for macOS, allowing users to care for a digital creature that lives in their menu bar. The service is provided for personal entertainment purposes.

2.User Responsibilities

By using Pixel Pets, you agree to:

  • Use the app for personal entertainment purposes.
  • Not to misuse the app, including attempting to manipulate the game mechanics unfairly.
  • Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your use of the app.

3.Service Availability

You acknowledge that:

  • The service is provided "as is," and we make no warranties regarding its availability, reliability, or that it will be free of errors.
  • We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the service at any time without notice.

4.Intellectual Property

All content and materials included in the app, such as text, graphics, logos, and software, are the property of Pixel Pets or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the app.

5.Cost of Service

Pixel Pets is free to download. Additional features, such as all current and future exclusive pets, scenes and treats, are unlocked by an auto-renewing subscription, offered as a yearly or a weekly plan. A free trial may be offered where your Apple ID is eligible for one. The length of the trial and the price of each plan are shown in the app before you buy, and prices vary by App Store storefront.

  • Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your Apple ID is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price shown for your storefront.
  • You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
  • If you start a free trial and then purchase a subscription, any unused part of that trial is forfeited, as required by the App Store.
  • A subscription grants you a personal, non-transferable license to use the premium features for as long as it is active.

Earlier versions of Pixel Pets sold the premium features as a one-time In-App Purchase ('Premium Upgrade'). That purchase is permanent: if you bought it, the premium features stay unlocked for you and no subscription is required.

All purchases and renewals are processed by Apple. Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms and must be requested from Apple; we cannot issue them ourselves. Nothing in these terms limits any statutory right of withdrawal or other mandatory consumer right you have under German or EU law.

6.Data Handling

Our data handling practices are detailed in our Privacy Policy.

7.Governing Law & Disputes

These terms are governed by German law. Any disputes arising from these terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Berlin.

8.Service Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the service at our discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these terms or is harmful to other users of the service, us, or third parties, or for any other reason.

9.Modifications

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms of Service on this page. Your continued use of the service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

10.Limitations of Liability

Pixel Pets is provided for entertainment purposes only. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, resulting from your use of the app.
