Terms of Use

1Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use this app. By using it, you confirm you meet this requirement. This app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit their use.

By using the app, you also represent that: (a) you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. If either becomes untrue, you must stop using the app.

Availability. The app is available only in the countries and regions where Apple and Google make it available. If you are somewhere the app is not offered, do not use it.

2What this app is — and isn't

60 Second Puzzles offers casual puzzles — such as math, number and symbol patterns, memory, and spatial puzzles.

3License to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use 60 Second Puzzles on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, redistribute, or create derivative works from the app except as permitted by applicable law.

4Free tier and ads

The free version of the app includes one timed 60-second round per day. You can unlock up to five bonus rounds per day by watching a rewarded video ad before each one. These daily limits reset at the start of each day (UTC) and we may change them in the future.

The free version also shows advertisements through Google AdMob, including full-screen (interstitial) and rewarded video ads. Ad content is selected and served by Google and its advertising partners; we do not control the specific content of individual ads or whether an ad is available at any given moment. If an ad is unavailable, a bonus round may be unavailable too.

Where required by law or by Apple's or Google's rules, you will be asked for your consent (on iOS, for permission to track) before personalized ads are shown. You may decline; you will still see ads, but they may be less relevant. See our Privacy Policy for details.

5Premium subscription

A Premium subscription removes ads and unlocks: unlimited timed rounds, the ability to choose which puzzle types you play instead of the random mix of all of them, and the ability to choose the difficulty level (Basic, Intermediate, or Advanced). Premium features may change over time. Subscriptions are sold, billed, and managed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), not by us.

• Payment and taxes. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. Apple or Google is responsible for charging you, calculating any taxes, and showing you the final price in your currency before you confirm.
• Free trial. We may offer a free trial of Premium to new subscribers. When one is offered, its length is shown in the app and by Apple or Google before you confirm. Apple or Google decides who is eligible (generally one free trial per Apple ID or Google account, and not if that account has used one for this app before). Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial converts automatically into the paid plan you chose, and your Apple ID or Google Play account is charged the price shown when you started the trial. You can cancel during the trial in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings; if you cancel, Premium generally ends when the trial ends. Apple and Google run trials, eligibility, and billing; we do not. We may change, shorten, or end a free trial offer for new sign-ups at any time; this does not affect a trial you have already started.
• Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewals, billing, and cancellations are handled by Apple or Google, not by us. Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
• How to cancel. There is no cancel button inside the app, because subscriptions are billed and managed by Apple or Google, not by us. To cancel, turn off auto-renew in your Apple ID (App Store) or Google Play subscription settings. Cancelling stops future renewals only — it does not end your subscription immediately, and you keep Premium until the end of the period you have already paid for. If you do not cancel, your subscription renews automatically. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription.
• Switching plans. You can switch between Monthly and Annual on the app's "Your plan" screen. A switch takes effect at your next renewal; until then you keep your current plan.
• Restoring Premium. If you reinstall the app or use a new device, tap "Restore Purchases" in the app while signed in with the same Apple ID or Google account you subscribed with. We have no user accounts of our own, so we cannot look up, restore, transfer, or extend a subscription for you.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled according to Apple's and Google's own refund policies. Refund requests must be made to Apple or Google; we do not process refunds directly and generally cannot override their decisions.
• Price changes. Prices may change. If we change a subscription price, Apple or Google will notify you as their rules require, and in some cases ask for your consent. Any change applies only to future billing periods, never to a period you have already paid for, and you can cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play settings before a new price takes effect.

6Acceptable use

You agree not to: reverse-engineer or tamper with the app to bypass paywalls, ad delivery, or licensing; use automated tools (bots, scripts) to interact with the app; interfere with the app's operation or other users' ability to use it; change your device's date or clock, or copy, share, or spoof purchase records, to get extra rounds or Premium features without paying; or use the app for any unlawful purpose.

What you share. When you share a score, a picture or any other content from the app, you choose where it goes and you are responsible for it. Sharing uses your device's share sheet (run by Apple, or by Google and your device maker on Android) and whatever app you pick, under their terms.

Leaderboards. Leaderboards are optional and provided by Apple Game Center (and, where offered, Google Play Games) under Apple's and Google's own terms; you need an account with them to take part, and your use of those services is between you and Apple or Google. Scores must come from your own normal play: no automated tools, modified apps, changed device clocks, shared accounts or other tricks. We may, without notice, hide or remove any score or player we believe is not genuine, and we may reset, change, suspend or remove any leaderboard at any time. Rankings are for fun only: they are not a contest, competition, sweepstakes or game of chance, and no prize, reward or other benefit is offered or owed for any position. Scores may be delayed, missing or not recorded (for example when you are offline or a third-party service is unavailable), and we do not guarantee that any ranking is complete or accurate. Player nicknames, profile pictures and anything else other players show on a leaderboard are chosen by them and controlled by Apple or Google, not by us; we are not responsible for that content. By taking part, you understand that your nickname and scores may be visible to other players.

7Intellectual property

The app, including its design, code, puzzle content, and branding, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you beyond the limited license in Section 3.

8Disclaimer of warranties

The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We also do not guarantee the availability or performance of services run by third parties, such as ads, purchase processing, subscription verification, and leaderboards (see Section 17).

Custom colors (Skins). The app may let you choose your own background, button and text colors. You choose them at your own discretion. Some color combinations can be hard to read or uncomfortable to look at; if that happens, use "Back to Original color scheme" in Settings > Skins. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for any discomfort, eye strain, difficulty reading, or any other issue caused by colors you choose. Pictures inside puzzles (shapes, emoji, chess pieces) always keep their own colors.

9Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the app, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) $20. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us (and our officers, contractors, and licensors) harmless from any claim, liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your violation of these Terms; your misuse of the app; or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

11Dispute resolution and binding arbitration

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights and requires most disputes to be resolved through individual arbitration rather than in court.

Informal resolution first

Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at the email address in Section 18 (Contact us) and describe the dispute so we can try to resolve it informally. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

Agreement to arbitrate

If a dispute isn't resolved informally within 60 days, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court instead.

Jury trial waiver

To the extent a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial for that dispute.

Opting out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing us at the address in Section 18 (Contact us) with your name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. If you opt out, neither you nor we are bound by the arbitration or class-action-waiver provisions above, and disputes will be resolved in the courts described in Section 14.

12Termination

If you violate these Terms, your license to use the app ends automatically, and you must stop using the app and delete it. We may also report violations to Apple or Google. You may stop using the app and uninstall it at any time; this does not automatically cancel an active subscription, which must be cancelled through your Apple ID or Google Play account. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 7-11 and 15-17) will survive.

13Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the app evolves. Updated Terms apply from the date they are posted on this page, shown by the "Last updated" date above, and we will make reasonable efforts to mention material changes in an app update's release notes. Your continued use of the app after updated Terms are posted means you accept them; if you do not agree, stop using the app and delete it. Updated Terms do not change the price or length of a subscription period you have already paid for.

14Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of North Carolina, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer protection law requires otherwise. Subject to Section 11 (Arbitration), any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

15Apple App Store additional terms

If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store, the following additional terms apply and take precedence over any conflicting term above with respect to Apple only:

• This agreement is between you and us only, not Apple, and Apple has no responsibility for the app or its content.
• The license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable right to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the App Store's Usage Rules.
• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app, to the extent required by these Terms; Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the app.
• In the event of any failure of the app to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the app to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims relating to the app's failure to meet a warranty are our sole responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app or your possession/use of it, including product liability claims, legal or regulatory compliance claims, and consumer protection claims.
• If a third party claims the app infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• You must comply with the Section 1 eligibility and export-compliance representations above, and with any applicable third-party terms of agreement (for example, your device manufacturer's or wireless carrier's terms) when using the app.
• Any questions, complaints, or claims about the app may be directed to us at the email address in Section 18 (Contact us).
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

16General terms

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect, and the unenforceable provision will be interpreted to best reflect its original intent.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Entire agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the app, and supersede any prior agreements on the subject.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17Who is responsible for what

Several companies are involved in the app. To be clear about who does what:

Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms (except as described in Section 15 for Apple), have no obligation to provide support for the app, and are not responsible for its content. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the acts or omissions of Apple, Google, AdMob, Apple Game Center or Google Play Games, or our subscription provider, or for problems with billing, refunds, cancellations, price-change notices, ad content, leaderboards, or player names and profiles that those companies control.
