Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you and Dead Pixel Studio ("we," "us," "our") covering your use of the mobile game Altitude Zero (the "Game") and this website (altitudezero.app). By downloading, installing, or playing the Game, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

The Game is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store; your use of the App Store is also subject to Apple's own terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. If any conflict arises between these Terms and Apple's terms in a matter that concerns Apple, Apple's terms govern.

We grant you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and play the Game on any Apple device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Game is not intended for children under 13. By using the Game, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country to enter into a binding contract). If you are under the age of majority where you live, you should only use the Game with the permission of a parent or guardian.

Coins are a virtual in-game currency used inside Altitude Zero. Coins can be earned by playing (destroying enemies, clearing bridges, completing objectives) or purchased through in-app purchases in the App Store.

Coins have no real-world monetary value. They cannot be redeemed for cash, exchanged for goods or services outside the Game, transferred between Apple IDs, or transferred between devices except via legitimate Apple ID / iCloud sync.

Coins are licensed to you, not sold. Your right to use coins ends when your licence to the Game ends (for example, if you delete the Game, if Apple removes it, or if we discontinue the Game — see Section 12). Unused coins do not carry over to any successor or unrelated app.

Coin balances are stored on your device. If your device is lost, damaged, or reset, you may lose your unspent coins unless the balance has been synced through iCloud. We are not responsible for lost coin balances outside our control.

The Game offers optional in-app purchases, including coin packs and the Pro (Remove Ads) upgrade. All in-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your payment method. Prices are shown in the App Store at the moment of purchase and may vary by region.

Coin-pack purchases are consumable: coins are delivered to your account and are consumed as you spend them.

The Pro (Remove Ads) upgrade is a non-consumable one-time purchase tied to your Apple ID. Once purchased, you can restore it on any device signed in to the same Apple ID by tapping "Restore Purchases" inside the Game.

Refund and cancellation requests for in-app purchases are handled by Apple. To request a refund, please use https://reportaproblem.apple.com. To the fullest extent permitted by law, coin purchases are final once delivered.

The Game contains advertisements for players on the free tier. Ads may be banner ads, interstitial ads, or optional rewarded ads that grant coins or continue-on-death opportunities in exchange for watching an ad.

Ads are delivered by third-party advertising networks whose content we do not control. If you have any concerns about a specific ad, please email us at info@deadpixel-studio.com and we will pass it on.

You can remove advertisements by purchasing the Pro (Remove Ads) upgrade.

The Game uses Apple's Game Center for leaderboards, achievements, and — where enabled — friend features. Your Game Center alias may appear on public leaderboards visible to other players. Use of Game Center is subject to Apple's terms.

We reserve the right to remove scores that we reasonably believe were achieved through modification of the Game, exploitation of bugs, use of unauthorised third-party tools, or any other form of cheating. In serious cases we may permanently exclude the offending Game Center identifier from our leaderboards.

You agree that you will not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Game, except to the minimum extent that applicable law expressly permits; (b) modify the Game or create derivative works; (c) use bots, macros, automated tools, or any third-party software to gain an unfair advantage in gameplay or on leaderboards; (d) exploit bugs to earn coins or purchases you would not otherwise be entitled to; (e) attempt to obtain any content, coins, or Pro features without paying for them when payment is required; (f) use the Game in violation of any applicable law.

Violation of this section may result in loss of coin balances, removal of scores or achievements, or termination of your right to use the Game.

The Game, including all artwork, sound, code, brand names, and other content, is owned by Dead Pixel Studio and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any of that content to you. You may capture screenshots and video of your gameplay for personal, non-commercial sharing.

The Game is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dead Pixel Studio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of or in connection with your use of the Game. Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Game will not exceed the amount you paid us (via Apple, net of Apple's share) in the twelve months preceding the claim, or USD 50, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

We may update, patch, or add new features to the Game at any time. We may also, at our discretion, discontinue the Game or any of its features. If we discontinue the Game entirely, in-app purchases already delivered to you will remain usable on your installed device until the Game stops functioning; no refund is provided beyond what Apple's App Store policies require.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify players either in the Game or on this website. Continued use of the Game after such a change means you accept the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Dead Pixel Studio is registered, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have under the laws of the country where you live.
