3. License to Use the App

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes, in accordance with these Terms and Apple’s App Store Terms of Service.

4. Intellectual Property

All content in the App — including riddle text, hint text, the riddle database, user interface design, graphics, sounds, and code — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright, trade dress, and other applicable intellectual property laws.

Riddle content attribution: A portion of the base riddle content was derived from the public domain / CC0 dataset at https://github.com/crawsome/riddles. All riddles have been paraphrased, enriched, and curated before inclusion in the App.

Open-source components: The App includes GRDB.swift, which is used under the MIT Licence. See the Acknowledgements for full attribution.

MindKnot Pro (“Pro”) is a single, one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase at the price of USD $7.99 (or the regional equivalent as displayed in the App Store at time of purchase). Pro unlocks: unlimited hints across all riddles (the free tier provides 3 hints per day); iCloud Sync for your progress and session history across your own devices; and access to advanced multiplayer features (Duel Mode creation and Remote Party hosting) when those features are released.

Product ID: com.hgindra.mindknot.pro

5B. Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive, store, or process your payment card or financial information. Your purchase is subject to Apple’s App Store Terms of Service.

5C. Refunds

Refund requests are handled exclusively by Apple. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com or contact Apple Support. We do not issue refunds directly.

5D. Family Sharing

MindKnot Pro supports Apple Family Sharing. One purchase covers all members of the purchaser’s Family Sharing group, subject to Apple’s Family Sharing terms.

5E. Restore Purchases

If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you may restore your Pro purchase at no charge using the “Restore Purchases” function within the App.

5F. Future Content

Pro is a one-time purchase. Future features added to the Pro tier — including advanced multiplayer modes and any other features designated as Pro at the time of their release — will be included at no additional charge. We reserve the right to introduce new separate products in the future; those would not automatically be included in existing Pro purchases unless specifically stated.

6. Multiplayer Features

6A. Local Party Mode

Local Party Mode connects devices in the same physical location using Apple’s MultipeerConnectivity framework. All game data is transmitted directly device-to-device. No data passes through our servers. All session data is ephemeral and is not stored after the session ends.

6B. Duel Mode (coming in a future update)

Duel Mode is an asynchronous one-on-one challenge feature. A deep link (URL scheme: mindknot://duel/{token}) is generated and shared by you using your chosen messaging platform. We do not access or monitor the content of your messages. You are responsible for choosing who you share a duel link with.

Duel records are stored temporarily in Apple CloudKit and expire 7 days after creation. Display names you enter for a duel are session names chosen by you — you are encouraged not to use your real name.

6C. Remote Party Mode (coming in a future update)

Remote Party Mode uses Apple CloudKit for real-time game state coordination across the internet. Room records expire 2 hours after creation. You are responsible for the display name you enter for each session.

6D. Prohibited Conduct in Multiplayer

You agree not to:

We reserve the right to take appropriate action in response to violations, which may include disabling access to multiplayer features.

6E. Stats and Session History

The App records your riddle-answering history locally on your device, including the number of riddles answered, correct answer counts, and session details (riddle IDs, correctness, timestamps). This data is displayed to you in the Stats section of the App. No session history is transmitted to us. If iCloud Sync is enabled (Pro), this data is synced across your own devices via your private iCloud container as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (for example, a link to the Privacy Policy or the App Store review page). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party services. Your interactions with third-party services are governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

Apple’s App Store, CloudKit, and StoreKit services are governed by Apple’s own terms. We are not responsible for Apple’s services, availability, or policies.

The App uses the iOS Keychain to securely store your Pro entitlement status on your device. This data is local to your device and is not transmitted to us or any third party.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP (IF ANY) IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer and any affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgements, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the App.

12. Apple’s Role

These Terms are between you and us, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App, its content, or any claims relating to the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance, support, or services for the App. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Apple’s App Store Terms of Service, Apple’s terms govern to the extent of the conflict, solely as they relate to Apple’s obligations.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to your use of the App. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer is located, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall first be submitted to informal resolution by contacting us at masons_oil04@icloud.com. We will endeavour to resolve the matter within 30 days.

If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the developer’s jurisdiction.

14. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this document when changes are made. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, via an in-app notice). Continued use of the App after changes constitute your acceptance of the updated Terms.

If you do not agree to the revised Terms, your remedy is to stop using the App and, if applicable, request a refund through Apple.

15. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the App (or specific features thereof) at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, the licence granted under Section 3 is revoked. Sections covering intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings of any kind relating to the App.
