CombooThese terms are the agreement between you and Noles Technology Inc. ("Comboo," "we," "us"), a corporation organized in the State of Delaware, United States, with its address at 46 Avenue B, New York, NY 10009, USA. They apply to the Comboo app (Comboo: Block Puzzle Duels) and the getcomboo.com website (together, the "Service").
By using the Service you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
1. What Comboo is
Comboo is a block puzzle game. You place pieces on an 8×8 board to clear rows and columns, in modes such as Classic, Daily Board, Ranked Duel, friend duels and Journey.
Our fair-play promise: before a tray of pieces is dealt, the game checks that at least one order lets you place all of them, so a tray is never impossible when it is dealt. This is a promise about how pieces are dealt, not a promise that you will win or reach any score. In Ranked Duels and the Daily Board every player gets the same pieces. When no recorded game is close to your rating, your duel opponent is a Practice Bot, which is always labeled as a bot.
2. Your account
- Comboo creates an anonymous account the first time you open it. You can also sign in with Apple to keep your progress across devices.
- You choose a public handle for duels and the world ladder. It must follow the rules in section 5.
- You are responsible for access to your device and your Apple Account.
- You can delete your account at any time in the app: Settings > Account > Delete account. Deleting your account does not cancel a Comboo Pro subscription (see section 3).
3. Comboo Pro subscriptions
Plans. Comboo Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription, offered as a yearly plan with a 7-day free trial and as a weekly plan. The price, length and currency are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country. Taxes are applied according to App Store rules in your country.
Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, if you start with the free trial, when the trial ends.
Automatic renewal. The subscription renews automatically for the same length and price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
Free trial. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the 7-day free trial ends, the yearly plan starts and is charged. Free trials are available once per Apple Account, as Apple's rules allow.
Managing and canceling. Subscriptions are managed by Apple. You can manage or cancel yours in your Apple Account settings: on your iPhone, Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Comboo. After you cancel, you keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel the subscription.
Refunds. Payments are processed by Apple. Refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, under Apple's policies. We can't issue refunds for App Store purchases ourselves.
Price changes. We may change prices. If a change affects your active subscription, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent before the next renewal.
4. Ads
Comboo is free to play and shows ads. It has no banner ads and doesn't show ads during a game. Occasionally, after a game ends, an ad may be shown. Some features, such as a revive or double rewards, can be unlocked by watching a short video ad; watching those is always optional. Rewards from ads have no cash value. Comboo Pro subscribers don't see ads.
5. Fair play rules
To keep duels and ladders fair for everyone, you may not:
- Cheat, including using bots, scripts, automation or tools that play for you or tell you where to place pieces.
- Use a modified, hacked or unofficial version of the app, or tamper with the app, its data or its network traffic.
- Manipulate scores, ratings, streaks, duels or ladders, for example by submitting fake games, deliberately losing to another account or using several accounts.
- Exploit bugs instead of reporting them to us.
- Choose a handle that is offensive, hateful, sexual, impersonates someone else or contains personal data or links.
- Interfere with the Service or its security, or access other players' data.
If we have good reason to believe these rules were broken, we may void scores, reset ratings or streaks, remove a handle, remove games from duels and ladders, or suspend or close an account. Where possible, we will tell you what happened and why, and you can reply to us at hello@noles.app if you think we made a mistake.
6. What other players see
Daily Board and Duel games you play may be shown to other players as replays and used as their duel opponents, together with your handle and score. The Privacy Policy explains this in detail.
7. License and intellectual property
The app, the website, the Comboo name and mascot, the designs, sounds, levels and software belong to Noles Technology Inc. or its licensors. We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own non-commercial use, under these terms and the App Store usage rules. You may not copy, modify, decompile or reverse engineer the app, except where the law expressly allows it.
If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.
8. Changes to the Service
We may add, change or remove modes, levels, features or content. If we materially remove Comboo Pro features you already paid for, we will give you reasonable notice.
9. Ending the agreement
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other players or the Service.
10. Warranties
We work hard to make Comboo fun and reliable, but the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the extent the law allows, we don't guarantee that it will always work without interruptions or errors, or that rankings, ratings or opponents will always be available.
Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under the consumer protection laws of your country that can't be waived.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, data or game progress.
- Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or 100 US dollars if you paid nothing.
These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, for example in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
12. App Store terms
If you downloaded Comboo from the App Store, your license to use the app is also governed by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"). These terms add to the Standard EULA; if they conflict, the Standard EULA prevails for the license to use the app. In particular:
- This agreement is between you and Noles Technology Inc., not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app, if any. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing claims by you or third parties relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
- If a third party claims that the app infringes its intellectual property rights, Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling or discharging that claim.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or on a US government list of restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. This doesn't take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.
If you have a problem, write to us first at hello@noles.app and we will try to solve it within 30 days.
Mexico. If you live in Mexico, you can also go to the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (PROFECO) and to the competent courts where you live.
Brazil. If you live in Brazil, the Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/1990) applies to you where it is mandatory. You can file a complaint with consumer protection bodies (Procon) or on consumidor.gov.br, and bring legal action in the courts where you live.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will publish the new version at getcomboo.com/terms/ with its date and version. If the change is significant, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using the Service after that date, you accept the new terms. If you don't agree, you can cancel your subscription and delete your account.
15. Miscellaneous
- If any part of these terms is invalid, the rest stays in effect.
- If we don't enforce a provision, that doesn't mean we waive it.
- You may not transfer these terms to someone else. We may transfer them to a successor of the Comboo business, who will be bound by them.
- These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
