Terms of Service

1. Who provides the services and what these terms cover

These Terms of Service govern your use of games, applications, emrepehlevan.com and related support services published or operated by Emre Pehlevan that link to these terms. “I”, “me” and “my services” refer to Emre Pehlevan. The terms apply across the covered services and are not written for only one game. A third-party product shown in a portfolio remains subject to its own publisher's terms unless I actually provide that service.

Please read the terms before using a service or making a purchase. They explain the permission to use the content, rules for fair use, purchase handling and available remedies. A particular feature may have additional terms presented before you use it. Those terms apply to that feature and should be read with these terms. App-store rules govern your relationship with the store. Mandatory consumer, privacy and other rights cannot be removed by wording on this page.

2. Eligibility, age ratings and parental responsibility

The games are intended for a general audience unless the individual listing states otherwise. Their availability does not mean that every game is suitable for every age. Follow the content rating, device requirements and any stated age restriction for the specific service. A content rating is not legal permission for a minor to enter a contract, authorize data processing or make a purchase independently.

If you are below the age at which you can agree to these terms under applicable law, ask a parent or legal guardian to review them and authorize your use. Parents should consider gameplay content and time spent playing, supervise purchases and use the store's parental controls. A child should ask a parent to handle support rather than send unnecessary personal information. These general-audience services are not specifically directed at children under 13 merely because younger players may encounter them.

3. Your license to play and use the website

Subject to these terms and applicable store rules, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to install and use a lawfully obtained copy of a game on a compatible device for private, non-commercial entertainment. You may browse the website and use its publicly offered functions for their intended purpose. This permission is a license to use the service, not a sale of the underlying software, artwork or intellectual property.

Do not redistribute game files, sell access, sublicense the service, remove ownership notices or represent that you own the content. Copying, modification or reverse engineering is restricted except where permission is given or applicable law protects the activity. Nothing here prevents rights that cannot lawfully be restricted, including relevant interoperability, accessibility or other statutory exceptions. Individual third-party components remain subject to their applicable licenses.

4. Devices, connectivity and access

You are responsible for using a compatible device and a supported version of the service. Required operating-system versions and capabilities are described in the relevant listing or update information. Downloads, online features, store authentication, purchases and restoration may need an internet connection. Your network provider may charge for data. A game that supports offline play may still require a connection for particular functions.

Keep your device and store account reasonably secure. Do not share passwords or purchase-approval codes with someone who is not authorized to use them. Interruptions may result from maintenance, network conditions, store outages or unsupported hardware. I will take reasonable steps within my control to address service faults, but cannot guarantee compatibility with every device or uninterrupted access at every moment. This does not remove any legally required quality or conformity obligation.

5. Progress, saved data and platform differences

Save features vary between games. Unless a game explicitly offers a cloud account or synchronization, progress, inventory and balances may exist only on the device. Removing the app, clearing its data, replacing the device or restoring an older backup can remove or overwrite that progress. Store ownership records are separate from game progress. A receipt for a consumable purchase does not necessarily recreate a local balance after it has been delivered and used.

Do not assume that a purchase or save can be transferred between games, store accounts, platforms or regions. A permanent purchase may be restorable with the same store account where the game supports restoration. Check the relevant game's instructions before deleting data or changing devices. If you encounter a purchase-delivery problem, contact support before repeatedly purchasing the same item; any mandatory remedy remains available.

6. Free features, optional purchases and offers

A game's listing and purchase screen describe which features are included, whether the download is free or paid and what optional items are offered. A free download does not mean every optional item is free. Conversely, opening an offer or viewing the shop does not itself authorize a charge. A payment is confirmed through the relevant store or clearly identified checkout.

An offer may depend on progress, availability, platform or a stated eligibility condition. The item, quantity, duration and price displayed before confirmation describe that offer. Read them before purchasing, especially where a bundle combines a permanent unlock with consumable currency. A timed offer should state its timing or condition clearly. An accidental display error does not remove your statutory rights or authorize an undisclosed charge. No general clause here authorizes automatically recurring billing.

7. Virtual currency and digital items

Virtual currency, upgrades, characters and other digital items grant the in-game use described at the time of purchase or earning. They are not a bank deposit, investment, financial instrument or generally accepted payment method. They have no cash-redemption right unless a specific lawful offer expressly provides one. They do not transfer ownership of the game's intellectual property. Do not sell, trade or transfer them outside the supported game functions.

Some items are consumed when used; others provide an ongoing entitlement. A bundle can contain both. Quantity, eligibility, limits and restoration behavior should be assessed from the offer and the relevant game's instructions. Currency earned in one game is not automatically usable in another. Changes to balance, rewards or item behavior may be necessary as a game develops, but paid entitlements and legally required remedies must be treated fairly. These terms do not permit arbitrary confiscation of purchased content without a lawful basis.

8. Prices, taxes and payment authorization

The final confirmation screen in the store shows the amount charged, currency and applicable tax treatment. Local prices can differ because of taxes, exchange rates and platform pricing rules. A price change applies to a future purchase; it does not authorize an extra charge for an already completed transaction. Keep your store receipt or order reference so a transaction can be identified if a problem occurs.

Use only a payment method you are authorized to use, and obtain any required parental approval. Apple, Google or the relevant distributor handles payment authentication and billing under its own terms. I do not need your full card details, store password or verification codes to investigate a game-purchase problem. If a transaction is pending, do not assume it failed or repeat it until its status is clear. Delivery may wait for the store's successful confirmation.

9. Delivery problems and restoring eligible purchases

If a paid item has not appeared, first check whether the store completed the transaction, confirm the device's connection and reopen the game. Where available, use Restore Purchases with the same account that made the original purchase. Restoration generally concerns permanent entitlements; a delivered consumable is not restored like a permanent unlock. Game-specific limitations should be read before clearing data or moving to another platform.

If the problem remains, use the support page or contact form. Include the game, platform, product and order reference, with a brief account of what happened. Do not post receipts publicly or include unrelated personal information. I may need the store to verify the transaction before delivering or adjusting an entitlement. Reporting a problem does not require you to make a second purchase or waive a refund right.

10. Refunds, cancellation and mandatory consumer rights

Refund, cancellation and withdrawal rights depend on applicable law, the type of digital content and the store used. These terms do not declare all purchases non-refundable. Apple purchases can be reviewed through Apple's purchase-problem service; Google Play purchases through Google Play's refund process. You can also contact me about content that was not delivered or does not conform to the description.

Some jurisdictions require specific consent and acknowledgment before a statutory withdrawal right can end when digital supply begins. This general terms page does not replace that checkout requirement. Where law provides repair, replacement, a price reduction, termination or a refund for defective digital content, those remedies remain available. A refund or payment reversal may result in removal of the associated entitlement where lawful and appropriate. It must not be used to penalize you for exercising a legitimate consumer right.

11. Fair use and prohibited conduct

Use the services lawfully and respect other people's rights. Do not falsify receipts, manipulate a purchase result, exploit a delivery fault to obtain repeated paid rewards, distribute cheats or malicious software, bypass access restrictions, overload infrastructure or attempt unauthorized access. Do not impersonate the developer, a store representative or another person. Support channels must not be used for threats, harassment, unlawful content or unsolicited bulk messages.

These restrictions are intended to protect the service and its users. They do not prohibit a lawful accessibility tool, a statutory exception or a good-faith report of a suspected bug. If you find a vulnerability, stop before accessing someone else's information and report it privately through the contact form. Finding a flaw is not permission to exploit it, transfer virtual goods or publish private credentials. Enforcement should take account of the seriousness and context of the conduct.

12. Intellectual property, screenshots and feedback

Games and website content, including code, artwork, animations, sounds, music, names and interface designs, are protected by the rights of their respective owners. No trademark or other ownership right is transferred to you. Third-party names used to identify platforms and providers belong to their owners and do not imply endorsement of this service.

You may share your own ordinary gameplay screenshots or recordings for personal discussion, reviews and commentary where lawful, provided you do not misrepresent sponsorship, disclose private information or redistribute the game itself. Any third-party music or platform rules may impose separate conditions. Feedback you send can be used to improve the services without an obligation to implement it or pay compensation, unless a separate agreement says otherwise. Do not send confidential material that you are not authorized to share.

13. Privacy, analytics and optional communications

The Privacy Policy explains what information is processed, the purposes, providers and available controls. Optional analytics may help improve game performance, progression and purchase reliability where the relevant game enables it and the required permission is given. Accepting these terms does not itself give blanket consent to analytics, advertising or marketing. Declining an optional data use should not prevent unrelated core gameplay.

You can use the privacy controls provided in the game or website and submit a rights request through the contact form. Newsletter subscriptions are separate from support. A service message about a purchase or request is not the same as a promotional subscription. Please do not include unnecessary sensitive information in messages. If a child needs support, a parent or guardian should handle the request.

14. Third-party services and app-store relationships

Downloads, billing, authentication and external links can involve independent providers. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to the functions they operate. I am responsible for my services as required by law, while a provider remains responsible for its own services. A link or integration does not mean I control the provider's availability, content or decisions.

For an app obtained from Apple, these terms concern the agreement between you and Emre Pehlevan, not an agreement under which Apple becomes the game developer. Apple has no obligation under these terms to provide the game's maintenance or support. The applicable Apple usage rules and legally required store remedies still apply. Google Play and other distributors likewise operate their stores under their own agreements. Nothing here limits a claim you are legally entitled to bring against a responsible party.

15. Updates, game balance and service changes

I may release patches, add content, adjust balance, improve security or change technical requirements. Updates can alter features, item behavior or compatibility. Where an update is needed for security or continued operation, the service may explain why it is required. A preview, roadmap or announcement is not a guarantee that every proposed feature will ship on a particular date unless an explicit binding commitment is made.

Changes must be handled consistently with applicable digital-content and consumer rules. Where a change materially affects paid content or continued access, required notice, consent, continuation, cancellation or refund rights remain available. Ordinary balancing should not be used as a pretext to remove paid rights unfairly. If a service is to be discontinued, reasonable advance notice will be given where feasible, together with any remedy required by law for affected purchases.

16. Restrictions, suspension and ending use

You may stop using a service at any time. Removing an app can delete local data and does not automatically cancel a separate store subscription, request a refund or erase server-side records. If a particular service offers an account, use its documented account controls where available. Privacy requests are handled under the Privacy Policy rather than being assumed from inactivity alone.

Access may be restricted for a serious breach, fraud, a security threat or a legal requirement. Action should be proportionate and, where appropriate and lawful, accompanied by notice and an opportunity to explain or remedy the issue. Urgent protective action may be taken without advance notice when delay would create a material risk. Contact the support channel if you believe a restriction is mistaken. Termination does not remove accrued consumer rights, legitimate refund claims or provisions that reasonably need to continue, such as ownership and dispute-handling terms.

17. Responsibility and limits that the law permits

The services are provided for entertainment and general information. I aim to keep them functional and descriptions accurate, but bugs, interruptions and differences between devices can occur. No promise is made that play will produce a particular score, reward, financial benefit or uninterrupted experience. A description of a limitation is not an exclusion of legally required quality, security or conformity obligations.

I remain responsible to the extent required by applicable law. Nothing excludes or limits liability for fraud, intentional misconduct, death or personal injury where it cannot be excluded, or any other liability that the law does not allow to be limited. Mandatory warranties and consumer remedies remain intact. Losses caused by your own unlawful conduct or a genuinely independent third party are assessed under applicable law; these terms do not impose a blanket duty on you to indemnify me for matters outside your control. No arbitrary monetary cap overrides a mandatory entitlement.

18. Questions, disputes and governing rules

For a question or problem, use the contact form or the support route identified in the relevant game. Please name the service and explain the outcome you are seeking. I will try to resolve a properly documented issue fairly. Contacting support is encouraged, but is not a mandatory step before using a statutory right or filing with a competent authority where the law permits it.

These terms are governed by the laws of Türkiye to the extent that choice is permitted. If you are a consumer elsewhere, mandatory protections of the law that applies to you remain in force. You may use the courts, consumer authorities or dispute-resolution bodies available under applicable law. These terms do not require private arbitration or waive class, collective or representative proceedings where such rights are available. They do not force a consumer to give up a competent local forum protected by mandatory law.

19. Changes, interpretation and contact

The effective date is shown above. If these terms materially change, the updated version will be made available and any legally required notice or acceptance process will be followed. New wording does not retroactively remove rights that already arose. If you do not wish to use a materially changed service, you may stop using it, subject to any applicable cancellation or refund rights.

If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent lawful. A failure to enforce a provision on one occasion is not a permanent waiver. Rights and obligations cannot be transferred in a way that reduces mandatory consumer protections. These terms, together with clearly applicable feature terms, describe the service agreement without displacing rights created by law.

The provider is Emre Pehlevan. General, purchase, legal and privacy inquiries can be sent using the website contact form or by post to the address below. The English and Turkish versions are intended to describe the same terms. If you need clarification, identify the section concerned; no translation issue removes a protection that applicable law gives you.
