These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Helion mobile game and its supporting services (the “Service”), provided by Jinx Design & Development (“Helion,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Licence
We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to download, install and use Helion on a device you own or control, strictly for your personal, non-commercial entertainment, in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Eligibility
Helion is intended for users aged 13 and over. By using the Service you confirm that you meet this age requirement.
Your account
You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, modify, or create derivative works of the app except as permitted by law.
- Cheat, exploit bugs, use unauthorised third-party software, or interfere with the Service or other players.
- Post or transmit unlawful, abusive, harassing, hateful, or infringing content, including in chat or alliance names. We operate automated and manual moderation and may remove content or restrict accounts.
- Sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit the app or in-game items outside the Service.
- Remove or obscure any proprietary notices in the app.
Virtual items and purchases
The Service offers virtual items and virtual currency (for example, Lunar Crystals) that may be purchased with real money through Google Play Billing. Virtual items have no real-world monetary value, are licensed (not sold) to you, and are non-transferable except within the game where permitted. We may modify, manage, or remove virtual items at any time. Purchases and refunds are subject to our Return & Refund Policy and to Google Play’s terms.
Advertising
The Service includes optional rewarded advertisements provided by Google AdMob. We are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or the products and services they promote. See our Privacy Policy for how ad data is handled.
Third-party services
The Service may include or link to third-party content and services (such as Google services and advertisements). We are not responsible for third-party content and you use it at your own risk and subject to the third party’s own terms.
Updates and availability
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature at any time, with or without notice. We may also provide updates, patches and bug fixes, which form part of the Service and are subject to these Terms. We are not obligated to provide any particular feature or to keep the Service available indefinitely.
Intellectual property
The Service and all of its content, features and functionality are owned by Helion and its licensors and are protected by South African and international intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute or reproduce them except as expressly permitted in these Terms.
User feedback
Any feedback, suggestions or ideas you provide about the Service may be used by us without restriction or compensation to you.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us (if any) in the twelve months before the claim. We will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, including loss of data or profits. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection laws that cannot be waived.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Helion and its affiliates harmless from any claim arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
Termination
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate by deleting the app and your account. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of South Africa, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If a dispute arises, you and Helion agree to first attempt to resolve it informally by contacting support@jinxdesigns.co.za. If it cannot be resolved within 60 days, the dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of South Africa, except that either party may seek injunctive relief to protect its intellectual-property rights in any competent court. Your use of the Service may also be subject to other local, national, or international laws.
Changes to these Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, in-game or on this page). By continuing to use the Service after the changes take effect, you agree to the revised Terms.
Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Return & Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Helion regarding the Service.
