Terms of Use
Last updated: September 27, 2026
These Terms establish the agreement between you and Not Quite There Studio, Inc. (the "Studio," "we," "us," or "our") for access to our websites, games, applications, and associated services (the "Services").
1. Agreement and Eligibility
When you download, visit, buy, or use the Services, you acknowledge these Terms and agree to follow them. If you do not accept them, you must not use the Services.
You must meet the age at which you can consent to personal-data processing in your country. Anyone who has not reached the applicable age of majority must also obtain a parent's or legal guardian's permission. A parent or guardian permitting a minor to use the Services is responsible for that minor's activity.
Information about our handling of personal information appears in the applicable Privacy Policy. Our website's cookie practices are described in that policy's cookies section.
2. Permission to Use the Services
While you comply with these Terms, the Studio permits you to use the Services for your own entertainment, without commercial exploitation. This permission is limited, nonexclusive, and revocable. You cannot transfer it to someone else or grant sublicenses. Rights not specifically granted remain with us or the relevant rights holder.
3. Prohibited Activities
You must not:
- Reproduce, redistribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services without our written authorization.
- Alter or translate the Services, produce derivative works, or attempt to obtain their underlying code through reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly, except where applicable law protects your right to do so.
- Operate unauthorized automation, bots, crawlers, scripts, scraping or data-mining tools, cheats, exploits, or third-party software in connection with the Services.
- Bypass or disrupt security, access restrictions, age checks, technical safeguards, servers, networks, or ordinary service operations.
- Use our branding, game titles, characters, assets, or hidden metadata without written authorization.
- Engage in illegal, fraudulent, harmful, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, infringing, or otherwise objectionable activity through the Services.
- Introduce malware or seek unauthorized access to another person's account, device, or information.
4. Third-Party Services
The Services may work with, link to, or be distributed through other organizations' products, including stores, payment systems, advertising and analytics services, social platforms, and partner websites. Those organizations operate their own services and set their own policies. Their terms may apply alongside these Terms.
5. Availability and Accounts
Depending on the feature, access may require internet connectivity, an account with us, a platform login, or a store account. Protect your login information and keep it confidential. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account.
We may issue updates or patches, change features, or suspend or end a Service when reasonably needed for technical, security, operational, business, or legal reasons. Your carrier or platform may separately charge for connectivity or data use.
6. Health and Safety
Flashing images, visual patterns, and extended play can cause symptoms such as eyestrain, dizziness, nausea, discomfort, or seizures in some people. Use adequate lighting, take regular breaks, and stop playing if symptoms occur. Seek medical advice before playing if you have a history of photosensitive epilepsy or a related condition.
7. Purchases, Digital Items, and Subscriptions
A game may offer paid features, virtual items or currency, subscriptions, or other digital content. You receive permission to use these within the relevant game rather than ownership of something with cash value. Unless we specifically permit it, you cannot sell, transfer, trade, or redeem them for money.
The relevant platform store, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play, handles purchases and payment-card processing. Billing, refunds, purchase cancellations, and related requests are generally governed by that store's procedures and terms.
Where subscriptions are offered, renewal is automatic unless you cancel through the relevant store settings before the current billing period ends. Instructions are available from Apple Support and Google Play Help.
8. User Content and Behavior
If a feature lets you submit or share material, you are responsible for what you provide and for obtaining the rights needed to provide it. You give the Studio a nonexclusive, worldwide license, without royalty payments, to store, host, copy, display, adapt, publish, distribute, and otherwise use that material to run, improve, promote, and protect the Services.
Do not submit material that violates another person's rights, reveals their personal information without permission, contains malware, encourages illegal conduct, or impersonates someone else. Abusive, deceptive, hateful, obscene, threatening, or otherwise harmful content is also prohibited. We may remove material or limit access when reasonably needed to protect people, the Services, or our rights.
9. Intellectual Property and Feedback
The Studio and its licensors hold the rights in the Services and their materials, including software, graphics, artwork, characters, names, branding, layouts, text, sound, video, and gameplay elements. These materials are protected by intellectual-property laws. The permission granted in Section 2 does not transfer ownership to you.
We may use suggestions, feedback, ideas, or comments you give us without paying you or accepting restrictions on that use.
10. Warranties and Liability
The Services are offered in their available condition, on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no promise of uninterrupted operation, perfect security, absence of errors or harmful components, or compatibility with all devices.
As far as applicable law allows, the Studio is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or comparable losses, including lost information, earnings, goodwill, or commercial opportunities. These Terms do not remove mandatory consumer protections or exclude or restrict liability where the law does not allow that result.
11. Indemnity
Where permitted by law, you must indemnify the Studio and hold it harmless against claims and resulting losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your violation of these Terms, unlawful use of the Services, or infringement of someone else's rights.
12. Ending Access
We may suspend, limit, or end access if we reasonably conclude that you have breached these Terms or the law, put other users at risk, or disrupted the Services. You are free to stop using the Services whenever you choose. Provisions that are intended to continue after access ends remain effective.
13. Sending Notices
Send notices to the Studio by email at hello@notquitethere.studio.
14. Disputes and Applicable Law
Please raise concerns with us first so that we can attempt an informal resolution in good faith.
The laws of the State of California govern these Terms, without removing any mandatory consumer protections available under the law of your country of residence. Disputes fall within the jurisdiction of the competent state or federal courts in California, except where mandatory law entitles you to bring proceedings elsewhere.
15. Other Contract Terms
We may transfer this agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, disposal of assets, or a comparable transaction. You need our written permission to assign your rights or obligations.
These Terms, the applicable Privacy Policy, and any additional terms for a particular Service constitute the complete agreement between you and the Studio concerning use of the Services. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions continue to operate. A decision not to enforce a provision on one occasion does not prevent us from enforcing it later.
