Article 7 (In-game points)

Terms such as "stars", "crows", and "the bill" in the Service, and party ranking points and the overall champion, are names for in-game points and titles. They have no connection whatsoever with money, prizes, cash-out, or any other property value, and no real payment or receipt occurs. The Service currently has no purchases and no ads. If we introduce purchases or ads in the future, we will first revise these Terms and the Privacy Policy and announce it.

2. You may turn a result into an image and send it to other people or services at your own discretion through the OS share sheet. The Operator does not receive shared images. How a shared image, or a link or room password you send in a message, is handled is a matter between you and the recipient.

Article 9 (Disclaimer of warranties)

The Operator does not warrant that the Service is fit for any particular purpose, has the functionality, accuracy, or usefulness you expect, will be free of defects or interruptions, or will work on all devices. The Service is provided as is.

If a change is not permitted under that article, the Operator will obtain users' individual consent.

Article 13 (Assignment)

Article 14 (Severability)

If any part of these Terms is held invalid under law, the remaining parts remain in effect.
