Please read these Terms carefully. By downloading, installing, purchasing, accessing or using a Breakout Games Limited product or service, you agree to these Terms and any product-specific rules presented to you.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form an agreement between you and Breakout Games Limited (“Breakout Games”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the relevant website, game, application or service.
App stores, console platforms, distributors and other third-party services may impose additional terms. Where those terms apply, you must comply with them as well.
2. Eligibility and accounts
You must have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms. If you are under the age at which you may enter a binding contract in your country, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.
Where an account is available, you are responsible for keeping your login information secure and for all activity carried out through your account. You must provide accurate information and notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
3. Limited licence
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to access and use the relevant product for private, non-commercial entertainment purposes, unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.
You do not acquire ownership of the product, software, game content, virtual items, characters, artwork, audio, code or any other intellectual property.
4. Paid applications and games
Some games or applications require payment before download, installation or access. Prices, taxes, supported devices, system requirements and product descriptions are displayed by the relevant store, platform or authorised seller at the time of purchase.
You are responsible for confirming that your device meets the stated requirements before purchasing. Access may also depend on a platform account, internet connectivity, third-party services and continued support from the relevant platform.
A purchase gives you a licence to use the product under these Terms. It does not transfer ownership of our intellectual property and may not be transferred, resold, sublicensed or used commercially except where applicable law or store rules require otherwise.
5. In-app purchases and virtual items
Our games and applications may offer optional in-app purchases, including virtual currency, consumable items, cosmetic content, upgrades, unlocks or other digital entitlements (“Virtual Items”).
- Virtual Items are licensed, not sold, and may be used only within the relevant product.
- Virtual Items have no real-world cash value and cannot be redeemed for money.
- Virtual Items may not be transferred, traded or sold unless the product expressly provides an authorised feature for doing so.
- Prices and availability may change. The final price will be confirmed by the relevant platform before purchase.
- You are responsible for purchases made through your account or device, including purchases by a child or another person where available purchase controls were not enabled.
- We may modify, rebalance, replace or discontinue Virtual Items or game features where reasonably necessary for gameplay, technical, legal, security or business reasons.
6. Billing, cancellations and refunds
Payments made through the Apple App Store, Google Play, a console platform or another third-party store are processed by that provider and are subject to its billing, cancellation and refund rules. Requests relating to a platform-processed payment should normally be directed to the platform through which the purchase was made.
Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory refund, cancellation or consumer rights available to you under applicable law.
7. Acceptable use
You must not:
- Use cheats, bots, automation, exploits, unauthorised modifications or other tools that interfere with normal gameplay or provide an unfair advantage.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, copy, distribute or create derivative works from a product, except where applicable law expressly permits it.
- Bypass security systems, access controls, platform rules or technical restrictions.
- Harass other users, impersonate another person, publish unlawful or harmful content, or use a service for fraud or illegal activity.
- Interfere with servers, networks, accounts, data or the availability of a service.
- Buy, sell, trade or transfer accounts or Virtual Items outside functionality expressly authorised by us.
8. User content and feedback
If a service allows you to submit names, messages, images, gameplay creations or other content, you retain the rights you already hold in that content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive and royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display, adapt and use it only as reasonably required to operate, improve, promote and protect the service, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.
You must have all rights and permissions needed to submit your content. We may remove content that breaches these Terms, platform requirements or applicable law.
We may use suggestions and feedback without restriction or payment, provided that we do not publicly identify you without permission.
9. Intellectual property
Our products and services, including their software, gameplay systems, designs, characters, graphics, logos, text, music and other content, are owned by or licensed to Breakout Games Limited and are protected by intellectual property laws.
The name “Breakout Games Limited”, our logo and related branding may not be used without our prior written permission.
10. Updates, changes and availability
We may release patches, updates, new content or technical changes. An update may be required to continue using online or supported features.
We may modify, suspend or discontinue a product or feature where reasonably necessary, including for maintenance, security, legal compliance, technical limitations, platform changes or low usage. We do not guarantee that online features, third-party services or a particular product will remain available indefinitely.
11. Third-party services
Our products may interact with app stores, platform networks, analytics providers, advertising services, social features or external websites. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for matters outside our reasonable control.
12. Suspension and termination
We may restrict, suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms, created a security risk, engaged in fraud or illegal activity, or where action is required by law or a platform provider.
When access is terminated, the licence granted under these Terms ends. Provisions that should reasonably survive termination will continue to apply.
13. Disclaimers
We aim to provide enjoyable and reliable products, but games and online services may occasionally contain errors, experience interruptions or be affected by device, network or third-party issues. To the fullest extent permitted by law, services are provided on an “as available” basis and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Nothing in these Terms affects statutory guarantees or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
14. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Subject to the paragraph above and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of data or loss arising from events outside our reasonable control. Where you are a consumer, we remain responsible for loss that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill.
15. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. Product-specific privacy notices may also apply.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our products, business practices, platform requirements or applicable law. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where required, we will provide additional notice.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Scotland, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections available in the country where you live. The Scottish courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction, which means you may also be entitled to bring a claim in another court where applicable consumer law permits.
