Terms of Use

Effective date: 05.10.2026
App: Tales of Carbonara
Developer: Andrew Korobkin UX/UI Design
Contact: support@talesofcarbonara.com

Please read these Terms of Use (the "Terms") carefully. They are a legal agreement between you and the Developer of the mobile game Tales of Carbonara (the "Game"). "We", "us" and "Developer" mean the developer named above.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing, opening or playing the Game you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. On first launch, the Game shows links to both documents and asks you to accept them by tapping "Accept and continue"; if we materially change these Terms, the Game will ask you to accept the new version. These Terms are always available in the Game and at the address published on the Game's app store page, where you can read, save or print them. If you do not agree, do not use the Game and delete it from your device.

2. Who may play

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Game. If the laws of your country set a different age, or if you are under the age of legal adulthood where you live, you may use the Game only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the Game, including any purchases.

3. Your licence to use the Game

The Game is licensed, not sold. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use the Game on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial entertainment.

Unless the law expressly allows it, you may not:

copy, modify, translate, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Game, or create derivative works from it;
extract, reuse or distribute the Game's art, music, sounds, code or other content;
bypass, disable or interfere with in-app purchases, ads or any security feature;
use cheats, bots, modified clients or exploits, or manipulate leaderboards;
rent, sell, sublicense or otherwise commercially exploit the Game;
remove copyright, trademark or other notices;
use the Game in any unlawful way.

Videos and streams: you are free to record, stream and publish videos and screenshots of yourself playing the Game, including on monetised channels, as long as you do not suggest that we endorse you and you do not distribute the Game's files.

4. In-app purchases and virtual items

The Game may offer in-app purchases, such as cosmetic skins and "Remove Ads". Purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to their terms, prices and payment rules.
What you buy is a limited, non-transferable licence to use the item in the Game. Virtual items and the in-game currency (mandarins) have no monetary value, are not your property, cannot be exchanged for real money or anything of value, and cannot be transferred to other players.
Mandarins are earned only by playing and cannot be bought.
"Remove Ads" stops the Game from showing ads served through Google AdMob. It does not affect the app store pages, the operating system or third-party services.
You can restore purchases on a new device through the Game's "Restore purchases" button, using the same Apple or Google account.
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. Except where required by law, all purchases are final.
If you are a consumer in the EU, by confirming a purchase you agree that the item is delivered immediately and you acknowledge that you therefore lose your right of withdrawal, as presented by the app store at the time of purchase.
We may change, rebalance or remove virtual items or the in-game currency, to the extent permitted by law.

5. Advertising

The Game shows ads provided by Google AdMob. We do not control and are not responsible for the content of ads or for any products, services or websites of advertisers. Any dealings with advertisers are solely between you and them.

6. Third-party services

The Game uses services of third parties, including Google (AdMob, Google Play, Google Play Games Services) and Apple (App Store, Game Center, iCloud). Your use of these services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their availability, operation, data practices or for any loss caused by them.

7. Your progress and data

We do not run servers or store your progress. Your progress is stored on your device and, if you enable it, in your own iCloud or Google Play Games account. Progress may be lost if you delete the Game, change or reset your device, or if a third-party service fails. We cannot restore lost progress. Purchased items can be restored as described in Section 4. How data is handled is described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Health and safety

Photosensitivity warning: the Game contains flashing lights, flickering and screen effects. A small number of people may experience seizures or other symptoms when exposed to such effects, even with no history of epilepsy. If you or anyone in your family has such a condition, consult a doctor before playing. Stop playing immediately and consult a doctor if you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, disorientation, involuntary movements or convulsions.
Jump scare warning: the Game contains jump scares — sudden loud screams, frightening images, screen shaking and vibration. If you are sensitive to sudden frights, have a heart condition, anxiety or a similar condition, play with caution or do not play. Do not play near people who could be frightened by sudden loud sounds.
Difficult themes: the story of the Game touches on personal and difficult topics and may be emotionally moving. If it affects you too much, take a break or stop playing.
Take regular breaks. Stop playing if your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore.
Do not play while driving, walking in traffic or in any situation that requires your attention.
Tales of Carbonara is a deliberately difficult "rage game" full of unfair traps. Frustration is part of the design. If you feel the urge to throw your phone, put it down gently and take a break instead.

9. Intellectual property

The Game and all of its content — including code, characters, art, animations, music, sounds, texts, names and logos — are owned by the Developer or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved. If you send us ideas or feedback, you allow us to use them freely to improve the Game, without any obligation to you.

10. Updates, changes and discontinuation

We may update, change, suspend or discontinue the Game or any of its features at any time. Some updates may be necessary to keep using the Game. We are not obliged to provide updates, support or maintenance, except where mandatory law requires us to provide updates needed to keep the Game in conformity with its description. If the Game is discontinued, you are not entitled to compensation, except where required by law.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. In particular, we do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, timely, error-free, free of bugs or harmful components, compatible with your device, or that your progress or data will be preserved. We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including any statutory rights regarding the conformity of digital content.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data or progress, loss of profits, revenue, goodwill or time, device damage or any other intangible losses, arising from or related to the Game or these Terms, however caused and even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages;
our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the Game or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid for in-app purchases in the Game in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 1.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory product liability or consumer protection laws. Where the law of your country does not allow the exclusions or limitations above, they apply only to the extent permitted.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold the Developer harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Game. This section does not apply to consumers where such obligations are not permitted by law.

14. Termination

Your licence ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may stop using the Game at any time by deleting it. Sections 4 (as to the absence of monetary value), 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 18 survive termination.

15. Governing law and disputes

Complaints. If the Game or an item you bought does not work as described, send a complaint to support@talesofcarbonara.com describing the problem and the device you use. We respond to complaints within 14 days of receiving them. Payments and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own procedures.
Informal resolution first. Before starting any legal proceedings, please contact us at support@talesofcarbonara.com and describe your claim. We will try to resolve it within 60 days.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of mandatory laws of the country where you live.
Courts. Disputes will be resolved by the competent courts of Poland. If you are a consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, as provided by law.
Individual claims only. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any claim must be brought on an individual basis only, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative action, and you waive any right to a jury trial. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, it does not apply to that claim. This paragraph does not apply to consumers in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or anywhere else such waivers are prohibited by law.

16. Additional terms for Apple devices

If you downloaded the Game from the Apple App Store:

These Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Game and its content.
Your licence is limited to using the Game on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; the Game may also be used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the Game.
If the Game fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Game, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the Developer's responsibility, to the extent not effectively disclaimed in these Terms.
The Developer, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Game or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the Game fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
If a third party claims that the Game or your possession and use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Questions, complaints or claims about the Game should be sent to the Developer at the contact e-mail shown at the top of these Terms.
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the Game.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, once you accept them, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

17. Additional terms for Google Play

If you downloaded the Game from Google Play, Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Game. Your use of Google Play is governed by the Google Play Terms of Service.

18. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game.
Changes. We may update these Terms. The new version will be published at the same address and in the Game, with a new effective date. For material changes, the Game will ask you to accept the new version. If you do not agree, stop using the Game.
Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in full force.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer our rights and obligations to another person, for example if the Game is sold, provided this does not reduce your rights.
Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
Language. These Terms are available in English and Polish. For consumers who live in Poland or are Polish citizens, the Polish version prevails. In all other cases, the English version prevails, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. Any other translation is provided for convenience only.
