This Terms of Service ("Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you ("User" or "you") and Lyonesse Technology Limited ("we", "us", or "our") governing your download, installation, and use of the mobile application "Live Jigsaw: Halloween Puzzle" ("the App"). By accessing or using the App in any manner (including but not limited to downloading, installing, or interacting with its features), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and unconditionally agree to be bound by all terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you must immediately cease using the App and uninstall it from your device.
1. Service Description
The App provides the following core functions and services to Users, subject to updates or modifications as set forth in Section 8:
- Halloween-themed jigsaw puzzle content with adjustable difficulty levels (e.g., 20-piece, 100-piece, 500-piece options) to accommodate different User preferences.
- Local progress saving (no account registration required), allowing Users to pause and resume puzzles at any time without losing in-progress work.
- In-app purchase options for premium features, including but not limited to ad removal, unlimited puzzle hints, and exclusive Halloween puzzle packs.
- Optional social sharing functionality, enabling Users to share completed puzzle screenshots or progress to third-party social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) (subject to the third party’s terms of service).
- Free access to basic features supported by non-intrusive third-party advertisements (Users may opt out of ads via in-app purchase).
2. Eligibility
To use the App, you must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- You are at least 13 years of age, or you have attained the age of majority (or equivalent legal capacity) under the laws of your jurisdiction (e.g., 18 years old in most regions).
- If you are a minor (under the age of 13 or under the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the App under the direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian. The parent/guardian assumes full legal liability for your use of the App, including any purchases or violations of this Agreement.
- We reserve the right to verify your eligibility and restrict or terminate access if we reasonably believe you do not meet these requirements.
3. Accounts and Data
The App is designed to minimize data collection and account requirements, with the following provisions for User data:
- No mandatory account: You may use all basic App features without creating an account. Progress and preferences are saved locally on your device (not on our servers).
- Cloud save (if applicable): If we introduce cloud-based progress saving in future App updates, this feature will only be activated with your explicit, prior consent. You may opt out of cloud saves at any time (subject to feature limitations).
- Progress loss risk: Changing devices, resetting your device, or uninstalling the App may result in the loss of locally saved progress. We strongly recommend that you regularly back up your progress (e.g., via device backup tools) to avoid data loss. We shall not be liable for any progress loss caused by device changes or user error.
4. User Conduct
You agree to use the App in compliance with this Agreement, applicable laws, and ethical standards. You shall not engage in any of the following activities:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or tamper with the App’s source code, algorithms, or proprietary components (including but not limited to artwork, music, and game logic).
- Use cheats, bots, automation tools, hacks, or other unauthorized software to manipulate the App’s operation (e.g., to unlock premium features without payment or skip puzzle difficulty).
- Block, bypass, or interfere with in-app advertisements (such actions may disrupt the App’s stability, impair free access to basic features, and violate our advertising partners’ terms).
- Upload, share, or transmit through the App any illegal, harmful, offensive, or infringing content (e.g., malware, hate speech, copyrighted material without permission, or content promoting violence).
- Use the App for commercial purposes (e.g., reselling access to premium features, monetizing App content on third-party platforms, or using the App to promote products/services without our written consent).
Violation Consequences: If we determine (in our sole discretion) that you have violated this Section, we may take immediate action, including but not limited to terminating your access to the App, disabling local progress, or restricting future use. We may also pursue legal remedies if your actions cause us or third parties to suffer damages.

6.3 Refunds
We do not issue refunds for in-app purchases directly.
