1. About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Arbudam, the independent creator studio that makes and publishes Sipshore: Merge & Serve (“Sipshore” or “the game”). They apply to the game and to this website. By downloading, installing or playing Sipshore, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the game.
Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled. You also get Sipshore through Google Play, so the Google Play Terms of Service apply to your download and any purchases.
2. Using Sipshore
Sipshore is free to download and play. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment.
You must be old enough to agree to these terms where you live. If you are not, a parent or guardian must agree to them for you and is responsible for your use of the game, including any purchases.
3. Fair play
When you use Sipshore, please don’t:
- copy, modify, sell, rent or redistribute the game or its content, except as the law allows;
- reverse engineer, decompile or tamper with the game, except where the law gives you that right;
- use cheats, bots, modified versions or tools that interfere with the game, ads or purchases;
- interfere with ads, for example by generating fake ad views or clicks;
- use the game in any way that breaks the law or harms other people.
4. Coins and boosters
Coins, boosters (such as Remove Drink and Reroll Next Drink), stars and other in-game items are earned by playing or by watching optional rewarded ads. They exist only in the game. They have no real-money value, cannot be bought with real money, and cannot be sold, transferred or exchanged for money or anything outside the game.
We may adjust how in-game items are earned, priced in coins or used, for example to keep the game balanced or fix a bug.
5. Advertising
Sipshore is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, including banner ads, ads shown after you complete a level, and optional rewarded ads. Rewarded ads give their in-game reward only after the ad finishes, and ads are not always available. Ads are provided by third parties. Arbudam does not control or endorse their content, and your dealings with advertisers are between you and them. See the Privacy Policy for your consent and ad choices.
6. Purchases and refunds
Sipshore may offer an optional one-time purchase, Remove Ads, which turns off the game’s ads. The price is shown in Google Play before you buy.
- All purchases are processed by Google Play. Payment, billing and refunds are handled under Google Play’s refund policies.
- Remove Ads is linked to the Google account you bought it with. It is restored when you play on a device signed in to that account with an internet connection.
- If a purchase is refunded, reversed or charged back, the game turns ads back on.
- Remove Ads turns off Sipshore’s banner ads, the ads shown after levels and the rewarded-ad offers. It does not affect coins, boosters or levels, or ads in other apps.
Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under consumer law where you live, including rights relating to faulty digital content.
7. Your progress
Your progress is saved on your device. Sipshore does not currently have accounts or cloud save, so progress can be lost if you uninstall the game, clear its data, reset or change your device, unless Android backup restores it. We can’t restore lost progress or in-game items.
8. Updates and availability
We may update Sipshore to add, change or remove features, fix problems or meet legal requirements. Some updates may be needed to keep playing. We may stop offering or supporting the game. If we do, we will try to give reasonable notice, and we will treat purchases as consumer law requires.
9. Ownership
Sipshore, including its name, logo, artwork, music, code and other content, belongs to Arbudam or its licensors. These terms give you a licence to play the game. They do not give you ownership of the game or any of its content. Third-party software in the game is used under its own licences.
10. Warranties and liability
We work hard to make Sipshore fun and reliable, but we provide it “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we don’t promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors.
To the extent the law allows, Arbudam is not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, or for loss of in-game progress or items. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to Sipshore is limited to the amount you paid for the game and in-game purchases in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, and for your statutory consumer rights.
11. Ending these terms
You can stop using Sipshore at any time by uninstalling it. If you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, we may end your licence to use the game. Sections 4, 9, 10 and 12 continue to apply after these terms end.
12. Disputes and your rights
If something goes wrong, please contact us first at support@arbudam.com. Most problems can be solved quickly that way. Nothing in these terms takes away mandatory consumer protections, or your right to bring a claim in the courts where you live, where the law gives you that right.
13. Changes and contact
We may update these terms when the game or the law changes. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. For significant changes, we will give notice in the game or on this website. If you keep playing after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms.
