Terms of Use

This website, hoodystudios.com, and the game Frolfy are owned and operated by Hoody Studios LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company ("Hoody Studios", "we", "us"). Our registered office address is in section 17 and in the footer of every page. By using this website or our apps, you agree to these terms.

1. Who these terms are between

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Hoody Studios LLC. They cover this website and every app we publish, currently Frolfy for iOS. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the site or the apps.

2. Your licence to use our apps

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use our apps on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. We keep ownership of the apps themselves. This is a licence to play, not a sale of the software.

You agree not to copy, sell, rent, reverse-engineer, decompile or modify our apps except where that restriction is prohibited by law, and not to use cheats, automation or modified clients to interfere with scoring, leaderboards or other players' experience.

3. Age

Our games are suitable for all ages and collect no personal information from anyone, including children. If you are under the age of majority where you live, please make any purchase only with the permission of a parent or guardian.

4. Purchases

Anything our apps sell is sold and processed by Apple through the App Store, under Apple's own terms. We never receive or store your payment details. Prices are shown in the App Store before you buy.

Because Apple handles the transaction, refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We can't issue refunds ourselves, but if something you paid for did not unlock, contact us and we'll make it right inside the game.

5. Coins, items and other in-game things

Coins, discs, baskets, trails, cards and every other unlockable exist only inside the game. They are a licensed feature of the software, not property and not currency. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything outside the game, and cannot be transferred or sold to another person.

Nothing that can be bought in our games confers a competitive advantage. Cosmetic items change how the game looks, never how it plays.

6. Advertising

Our games contain no banner ads and no advertising that interrupts play. Where advertising appears, it is an optional offer you choose to accept in exchange for an in-game reward. Ads are served by Google and are governed by Google's privacy policy. Declining to watch an ad, or declining tracking, never reduces what the game gives you.

7. Leaderboards and fair play

Leaderboards are provided through Apple's Game Center and are optional. We may remove a score, or a player's ability to submit scores, where we reasonably believe it was obtained by tampering with the game or its data.

8. Intellectual property

The names Hoody Studios and Frolfy, our logos, artwork, sounds, code and game designs are owned by Hoody Studios LLC and protected by copyright and trade mark law. You may share screenshots and recordings of your own play, including on video and streaming platforms. Everything else needs our written permission.

9. Availability and changes

We may update, change or discontinue any part of this website or our apps, including individual features and game content. Daily content is by design available only on its day. We will give reasonable notice before discontinuing a paid feature where it is practical to do so.

10. Disclaimer

This website and our apps are provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the apps will be uninterrupted or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hoody Studios LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of game data, arising out of your use of this website or our apps. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim, or ten US dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits any right you have under mandatory consumer law.

12. Apple

Our iOS apps are distributed by Apple. Apple is not a party to these terms, has no obligation to provide support for the app, and is not responsible for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the app must also comply with the App Store Terms of Service.

13. Privacy

Our privacy policy forms part of these terms and describes exactly what does and does not leave your device.

14. Termination

You may stop using our apps at any time by deleting them. We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms. Sections 5, 8, 10, 11 and 15 survive termination.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts located in Pennsylvania will have jurisdiction, except where the law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The "last updated" date above will change, and continuing to use the site or the apps after that means you accept the new version.
