Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using any website, game, application, product or service provided by Haloshine Technologies (OPC) Private Limited ("Haloshine," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to them, please do not use our services.

2. Who We Are and What These Terms Cover

Haloshine is a studio based in Navsari, Gujarat, India. We design and build:

• 2D games, including puzzle, brain, educational and casual games
• Mobile applications for Android and cross-platform
• Websites and web applications
• UI/UX design
• AI features and integrations
• Cloud infrastructure and backend systems

These Terms apply company-wide and cover three things: our website, the games and apps we publish under our own name, and work we carry out for clients. They are not written for one particular product. Where a specific game, app or project has its own terms or a signed agreement, that document takes precedence for that product or project.

3. Using Our Website

You may read our website and contact us through it. You agree not to:

• Interfere with the site, its security, or the servers it runs on
• Copy the site's design, text, illustrations or code for your own products
• Collect data from the site by automated means, or send bulk or misleading messages through our enquiry form

When you send an enquiry, you confirm that the details you give us are accurate and that you may share any information contained in it.

4. Our Games and Apps

4.1 Your Licence to Use Them

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use our games and apps for your own private, non-commercial enjoyment. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell or redistribute them, or remove any ownership notices.

4.2 Accounts

• Some products let you create an account. You are responsible for what happens on it and for keeping your password safe
• Give us accurate details, and tell us promptly if you believe your account has been misused
• One person may not run multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage

4.3 Age and Children's Use

If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use our products only with the involvement of a parent or guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf. Products made for children can be played without signing in; where an account is offered, a parent creates it behind a parent gate. Parents may contact us at any time about their child's data, as described in our Privacy Policy.

4.4 Fair Use and Conduct

When using our games and apps, you agree not to:

• Use cheats, exploits, automation software, bots, hacks, or unauthorised modifications
• Exploit bugs instead of reporting them
• Create multiple accounts for unfair advantages, or trade virtual items for real money
• Harass, bully, threaten or impersonate other players or our staff
• Share inappropriate content, or other people's personal information, in any chat or profile feature
• Use offensive usernames or profile pictures

In games with online or multiplayer features, you also agree to play fairly, to finish matches you start rather than disconnecting deliberately, and to use chat responsibly.

4.5 Availability and Updates

We may update, change or discontinue a game or app, including its online features. We will give notice where we reasonably can. Updates may require a newer device or operating system, and older versions may stop working.

5. Work We Do for Clients

5.1 Quotes and Agreements

Enquiries, estimates and proposals are not binding until both sides sign a written agreement or you accept a written quote. That agreement sets out the scope, timeline, fees and anything specific to the project, and it prevails over these Terms where the two differ.

5.2 Your Responsibilities

• Provide the materials, content, accounts and approvals the project needs, in good time
• Confirm that anything you give us — artwork, text, data, trademarks — is yours to use, or properly licensed
• Give feedback within the agreed review periods; delays move delivery dates accordingly

5.3 Changes to Scope

Work beyond the agreed scope is quoted and agreed separately before we start it.

5.4 Fees and Payment

• Fees, milestones and currency are set out in the agreement or quote
• Invoices are payable by the date shown on them. We may pause work on overdue invoices
• Fees exclude taxes and third-party costs (such as store fees, licences, hosting and domains) unless stated otherwise

5.5 Ownership of the Work

On full payment, the deliverables we create specifically for your project become yours. We keep ownership of our own pre-existing tools, libraries, templates and know-how, and grant you a licence to use them as part of the delivered work.

5.6 Confidentiality

Each side keeps the other's non-public information confidential and uses it only for the project.

5.7 Showing the Work

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, we may describe and show non-confidential completed work in our portfolio and marketing.

6. Intellectual Property

All games, apps, artwork, characters, illustrations, code, text and branding we create remain our property or that of our licensors, except where ownership passes to a client under section 5.5. Nothing in these Terms transfers our intellectual property to you by implication.

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback about our products, we may use them without obligation or payment to you.

7. Content You Provide

You keep ownership of content you create or upload in our products, such as a profile name or a message. You grant us a licence to host, display and process it as far as the product needs, and you confirm it is lawful, is not offensive, and does not infringe anyone's rights. We may remove content that breaches these Terms.

8. Payments, Purchases and Refunds

8.1 In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

Purchases inside our games and apps are processed by the app store you bought from, such as Google Play or the Apple App Store, under that store's terms. We never receive your card details.

• Virtual items and currency are licensed to you for use inside the product. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash, and may be lost if your account is closed
• Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in your store account, and cancelling stops future charges rather than the current period
• Prices may change; we will give notice before a change affects a subscription you already hold

8.2 Refunds

Refunds for store purchases follow the policy of the store that processed them, and refund requests should be made there. Where a store passes a request to us, we consider it in line with that policy and applicable consumer law. Fees for client projects are refundable only as set out in the project agreement.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why, and forms part of these Terms.

10. Disclaimers

Our website, games and apps are provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. Services for clients are provided with reasonable skill and care, as set out in the project agreement.

We do not guarantee that any product will remain available, or that data will never be lost. Keep your own copies of anything important.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent the law allows, Haloshine is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill. Our total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Haloshine against claims, damages and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of our products, or content or materials you supply to us.

13. Suspension and Termination

• You may stop using our products at any time, and may close an account in the product's settings or by asking us — see our data deletion page
• We may suspend or end access where these Terms are breached, where use harms other users or our systems, or where we are required to by law
• A client project may be ended as set out in its agreement; work completed up to that point remains payable
• On termination, your licence to use the product ends. Sections on intellectual property, confidentiality, liability and governing law continue to apply

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as our products and the law change. We will update the "Last Updated" date above, and give notice of significant changes on this website or inside the product concerned. Continuing to use our products after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or relating to them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Navsari, Gujarat, India.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.

16. Contact Information

By using our website, games, apps or services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.
