Minesweeper Museum Terms of Use
The short version
- The game is free to play, with ads that follow its ad contract, and optional purchases.
- Museum Patron renews automatically until you cancel it in your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before it renews.
- Brushes and the other virtual items are a licence to use them in the game. They have no cash value.
- Play fair: the leaderboards rank only clean games, and we may remove scores that couldn't have been played by hand.
- Your rights as a consumer in your country always apply.
1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and DuoDevApps (Spain) for the Minesweeper Museum app. By playing, you accept them. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where the two differ, these terms prevail as far as the law allows.
2. What Minesweeper Museum is
Minesweeper Museum is a logic puzzle game: boards that never force a guess, a journey through painted rooms, a daily painting, themed modes and a museum of your own. It is free to play with ads, and some content and comforts can be bought.
Most of the game works without a network. Ads, Game Center, live races, syncing and purchases need one.
3. Who can use Minesweeper Museum
Minesweeper Museum is a game for a general audience. If you are under 13, or under the minimum age for online services where you live, play with the permission of a parent or guardian, who accepts these terms for you.
4. Purchases and Museum Patron
- Museum Patron is offered as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The price is shown in the App Store sheet before you confirm.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period, and Apple charges your Apple Account, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Museum Patron stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the game doesn't cancel it.
- A free trial, when it is offered, becomes a paid subscription at its end unless you cancel before then. Each Apple Account can use one trial.
- Remove ads, the premium modes, the rooms, the themes and the hero skins are one-time purchases, yours on every device with the same Apple Account. Restore them in the game, in Settings › Restore purchases.
- Payments and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms. To ask for a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com.
5. Brushes and virtual items
Brushes are earned by playing, and can also be bought. Brushes, decor and the other virtual items are a limited, personal and non-transferable licence to use them in the game. They have no cash value, can't be exchanged for money or sold, and aren't refundable except where the law or Apple's terms require.
Your Brushes sync through your own iCloud. If you delete the game and its iCloud data, we can't restore them, because we don't keep a copy.
6. Fair play and leaderboards
The leaderboards rank only clean games on certified boards. Don't use bots, modified apps, cheats or exploits, and don't manipulate the game, its leaderboards or its ads. We may ignore or remove scores that break these rules or couldn't have been played by hand.
Game Center is Apple's service and has its own terms.
7. Acceptable use
Don't copy, reverse-engineer, resell or redistribute the game, except where the law allows it. Don't use your museum's name or share cards to harass, impersonate or offend anyone.
8. Ads
The free game shows ads from Google AdMob and its partners. Our ad contract: no ads on the board, in the middle of a game or after a loss, none in your first session, and rewarded videos only when you ask for one. Remove ads or Museum Patron turn interstitial ads off. Your choices are in the Privacy Policy.
9. Our content and intellectual property
The game, its code, design, illustrations and texts belong to DuoDevApps or its licensors. The masterworks in the later rooms are public domain images from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access program (CC0), and the game credits them.
10. Our responsibility
We work to keep the game running and your progress safe, but we provide it as it is, and we can't promise that it will be free of errors or always available. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that the law doesn't allow to be limited, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
11. Ending the agreement
You can stop at any time by deleting the game. We may stop offering the game, or a feature, with reasonable notice in the game; if a feature you paid for ends, you keep your statutory rights. We may suspend access to the leaderboards for serious breaches of section 6.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, and the date at the top shows the latest version. We will tell you in the game about important changes before they apply.
13. App Store
These terms are between you and DuoDevApps, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the game. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
