1. Description of the Service

AreaAware is an educational game that helps users learn and practice area calculations through interactive gameplay. The App includes:

• Game modes: Shape Game, Board Game, Combined Game, and Multiplayer Game (local pass-and-play or nearby device play—stake your claim on the biggest region).
• Area Calculations: Dedicated area practice from Home and interactive grid-based area tools.
• Progress and statistics: Local tracking of games played, accuracy, streaks, and multiplayer match history, displayed only within the App.
• Custom shapes: The ability to create and save custom shapes for use in games, stored locally on your device.
• Multiplayer: Local and nearby multiplayer (e.g., MultipeerConnectivity). Game data is shared only between devices you connect to.
• Advertising: The App may display third-party advertisements (e.g., Google AdMob interstitials). A one-time Remove Ads in-app purchase ($1.99) permanently disables ads; restore purchases is supported.

The App is offered free to download and use, subject to these Terms and to any applicable platform terms (e.g., Apple's App Store Terms of Use). Optional in-app purchase: Remove Ads ($1.99 one-time, non-consumable). We may introduce additional optional paid features in the future.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to consent to these Terms without parental consent) to accept these Terms. If you are under 18, you should use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian. If you are a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the minor's use of the App and their compliance with these Terms.

The App may be used in educational settings (e.g., schools). If the App is used by students under the direction of a teacher or institution, that institution is responsible for ensuring that such use complies with its own policies and applicable law.

3. License and Use

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use on devices that you own or control.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of the App or its content (except as expressly permitted by us or by applicable law).
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the App, except where expressly permitted by applicable law.
• Use the App for any illegal, harmful, or abusive purpose.
• Use the App to collect or harvest any data from the App or from other users beyond what the App makes available in normal use.
• Remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the App.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others. You agree not to: use the App in violation of any applicable law; harass, abuse, or harm others (including in multiplayer); attempt unauthorized access to the App or other users' devices; use automated means (e.g., bots, scripts) to interact with the App in ways not intended by the normal user interface; or interfere with or disrupt the App or connected networks or services.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law.

5. Educational Use and Disclaimer

AreaAware is an educational and entertainment tool. It is intended to support learning and practice of area concepts in a game format. It is not a substitute for formal education, a guarantee of any particular educational outcome, or professional advice of any kind. Use of the App is at your own risk.

6. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what data is stored on your device, how third-party services (e.g., advertising) may collect or use data, and your rights and choices. By using the App, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party Services and Content

The App may use or link to third-party services (e.g., Google AdMob for ads, Apple for distribution and system services). Your use of those services may be subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, content, or practices.

8. In-App Purchases and Refunds

The App is free to download and use. An optional Remove Ads in-app purchase ($1.99 one-time, non-consumable; product ID: areaaware_remove_ads) permanently disables all interstitial ads. Restore purchases is supported (e.g., Settings → Remove Ads in the App).

Payment and billing are processed by the platform (e.g., Apple). Refunds are handled by the platform—you must contact the platform (e.g., Apple Support) for refund requests; we do not process payments or refunds directly. If we introduce additional in-app purchases in the future, the same terms apply.

9. Disclaimers

THE APP AND ALL CONTENT AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: We (including our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the App. Our total liability for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the App shall not exceed the greater of (A) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose, or (B) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100 USD).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Minute Long Solutions and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App, (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law, or (c) your violation of any third-party right.

12. Updates to the App and Terms

We may update the App from time to time. Your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance. We may modify these Terms at any time and will post the updated Terms (including a new "Last updated" date) in the App or on our website. Your continued use after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance. If we make material changes that affect your rights, we will provide additional notice as required by applicable law.

13. Termination

By you: You may stop using the App at any time and uninstall it. By us: We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause or notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the App ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law) will survive termination.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. If you are in the European Union or another jurisdiction that requires different governing law for consumer contracts, the foregoing may not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections under the laws of your country of residence.

15. General

Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies we reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App. Severability: If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be deemed a waiver. Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign without restriction. Apple: If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that (a) these Terms are between you and Minute Long Solutions, not Apple; (b) Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support; (c) Apple is not responsible for the App or its content; and (d) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you.
