Terms of Service

Version: May 2024

Please carefully review these Terms of Service ("Terms"). They apply to your download, access, and/or use of Cooking Nova on a mobile device or any other device or platform (each a "Game" and collectively the "Games"). These Terms also apply to any other services we provide related to the Games, such as customer support, social media, community channels, and other websites we operate from time to time (referred to collectively as the "Services" in these Terms). These Terms are a legal agreement and contain important information about your rights and obligations regarding our Services.

All products and/or services related to the games (collectively referred to as "Services") offered to you (referred to as "You", "Your", "User" or "Player") by us (referred to as "We" or "Our") through the mobile application (referred to as the "App") are subject to the Terms as specified herein.

These Terms, as updated or modified from time to time, constitute an agreement between you and the Company and govern the relationship between you and us regarding Services. You must read, understand, and agree to, and be bound by, the Terms to access the Services. If you do not accept any part of the Terms or any subsequent modification therein, you must stop accessing or using Our Services.

1. Agreement

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, and solely for as long as permitted by us for you to use the App, you may view any portion of the App to which we provide you access under these Terms solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to engage in any illegal activities using this App, including but not limited to infringing on the rights of others or spreading false information. You also agree not to interfere with, damage, or disrupt the normal operation and security of this App in any way.

You understand and agree that we reserve the right to modify or update these Terms and the Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any such modification or update shall be communicated to you in the App. You must accept the modified or updated Terms and Privacy Policy to continue accessing the Services and App.

2. Personal Information

Your submission of information through the App is governed by the Cooking Nova Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”). You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with the App is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as needed. In case of any contradiction between the provisions of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy regarding personal data, the provisions of the Privacy Policy shall prevail.

3. Your Use of the Service

You may use the Services without registering an account. The Services are for everyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability or any other attribute. It is important for all our users to respect the rights of others and refrain from misusing the Services. When you access or use any Service, you agree not to:

We reserve the right, at any time and without prior notice, to permanently or temporarily remove or suspend access to the Services if we determine, at our sole discretion, that your use of the Services violates or potentially violates the Terms, applicable laws, or regulations.

4. Online Purchase

When making online purchases through Our App, you are required to furnish genuine, precise, and comprehensive information about yourself and use a legitimate payment method devoid of fraudulent activity. Should you furnish any personal or financial details that are found to be untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or if Cooking Nova reasonably suspects such inaccuracies, Cooking Nova reserves the right to nullify related financial transactions, revoke any software licenses obtained through such transactions, and report pertinent details to relevant authorities.

5. In-Game Currency and Goods

Cooking Nova features virtual in-game currency ("Virtual Currency"), which can be acquired through real-money purchases and used to obtain virtual in-game items ("Virtual Items"). It's important to note that Cooking Nova does not handle transactions involving Virtual Currency; instead, they are managed by third-party e-commerce payment providers. By purchasing Virtual Currency in-game, you agree to abide by the Terms of Use of these third-party payment providers.

Additionally, the following conditions apply. Virtual Currency can only be used to purchase in-game items. Virtual Currency and Virtual Items cannot be exchanged for real money, goods, other items, or services of monetary value, neither with Cooking Nova nor any other party. The transfer of Virtual Currency or Virtual Items outside of the games is strictly prohibited, meaning that you cannot buy or sell them for real money or exchange them for items of value outside the games.

Furthermore, you acknowledge that all purchases of Virtual Currency and Virtual Items are final. Refunds for completed transactions are not issued by third-party payment providers or Cooking Nova, except as expressly provided in this Terms of Use. Please be aware that when you purchase Virtual Currency or Virtual Items in-game, you are acquiring a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use them; you do not own them outright. In the event that your account is restricted, terminated, suspended, modified, or deleted for any reason at Cooking Nova's discretion, or if Cooking Nova discontinues its games, you forfeit any Virtual Currency and Virtual Items earned or purchased. Cooking Nova retains the sole discretion to manage, regulate, control, modify, and/or remove Virtual Currency and/or Virtual Items as it deems necessary, without any obligation to compensate you or any other party for resulting losses.

6. Refunds

If you share your account or payment details with others, engage in policy abuse, or fail to adequately secure your account with authentication measures, we typically cannot issue a refund.

Refunds, if approved, will be subject to the standard terms and conditions of the payment processor regarding refund policies. Any taxes previously charged to users for product purchases are not included in user refunds.

If you encounter any issues with a purchase made through Apple, you can report them using the link https://reportaproblem.apple.com. In the event that technical difficulties hinder or unreasonably delay the delivery of the game, your exclusive recourse is either the replacement of the game or a refund of the purchase price, as determined by Apple. Please note that Apple reserves the right to deny refund requests if evidence of fraud, refund abuse, or other manipulative behavior is found. For further details, please refer to https://support.apple.com.

7. Third Party Services

We may display or otherwise make available advertising, promotional, or commercial content or activities ("Advertising Content") on our Services. You understand that Advertising Content is Third Party Content/Services and is provided for your information only.

You acknowledge that we may, at our sole discretion, disable, suspend, or remove the Third Party Content/Services from the Services in full or in part at any time without any liability to you.

12. Miscellaneous

If any part of these Terms of Service is unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be construed to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties. The other provisions of these Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect.
