Terms of Service for Game Nest

Effective date: September 11, 2026 Last updated: September 15, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Rohit Modani, operating under the Voythrix name ("Game Nest," "Voythrix," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern the Game Nest application (the "App"), the official website at gamenest.voythrix.com (the "Website"), and related online services (together, the "Services").

1. Accepting these Terms

By downloading, accessing, purchasing through, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

You must be legally capable of entering this agreement. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms for you and supervise your use. The person accepting for a child is responsible for the child's use, including online features and purchases.

These Terms do not limit rights that cannot lawfully be waived, including mandatory consumer rights.

2. What Game Nest provides

Game Nest is an ad-free collection of casual games, puzzles, party activities, and utilities. The current release includes 102 items across categories such as board and strategy games, cards, arcade games, number and logic puzzles, word games, party tools, scoreboards, generators, calculators, and everyday utilities. Most features work offline. The catalog, names, rules, availability, and feature set may change as the App evolves.

The App does not require a traditional account. It creates pseudonymous installation identifiers locally. An anonymous online session is created or reused when you choose score synchronization, online multiplayer, or spectating, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Online features

Optional online features include global leaderboards and real-time rooms. Online room support currently includes 4 in a Row, Tic Tac Toe, Ultimate Tic Tac Toe, Gomoku, Checkers, Flip Tiles, Hex, Nine Men's Morris, Bagh Chal, Go, Chess, Mancala, Dots & Boxes, Chain Reaction, Ludo, and Snakes & Ladders. Hosts may allow spectators. Availability depends on a compatible App version, an internet connection, and our service providers.

The leaderboard profile is created only when you choose to synchronize a score or past scores, after you confirm the public display name. Creating, joining, or spectating a room may establish the anonymous online session but does not create a leaderboard profile. The same pseudonymous online identity can support both features if you later use both.

Joining an online room is free. Creating a room requires an active Game Nest Pro entitlement. Local play against people on the same device and local computer opponents remain separate from online service availability.

3. License and acceptable personal use

Subject to these Terms and the app store's rules, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on supported devices for lawful, non-commercial entertainment and personal utility use.

You may not:

• copy, sell, sublicense, rent, redistribute, or commercially exploit the App or its protected content except where law expressly permits;
• reverse engineer, bypass, disable, or interfere with security, purchase validation, access controls, or technical restrictions except where law expressly permits;
• use automation, modified clients, forged requests, exploits, or other means to manipulate scores, rooms, entitlements, rankings, or service availability;
• probe, overload, disrupt, or attempt unauthorized access to the Services or another person's device or data;
• impersonate another person or use a display name or content that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, hateful, sexually explicit, privacy-invasive, infringing, or misleading;
• use room codes, shared files, QR codes, or any utility to facilitate illegal activity, harassment, fraud, malware, or unauthorized tracking; or
• help another person do any of these things.

We may reject submissions, invalidate scores, remove cloud data, limit online access, or suspend functionality when reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect users, secure the Services, comply with law, or enforce these Terms.

4. Leaderboards, multiplayer, and fair play

Leaderboard submission is optional. When you submit a score, you represent that it resulted from ordinary use of the unmodified App. The service authenticates ownership and applies score rules, but it does not independently verify offline gameplay or guarantee that every score is accurate. Rankings may be recalculated, removed, delayed, unavailable, or reset.

Room codes are temporary access credentials. Share them only with intended participants. People in a room can see participant display names, gameplay, results, optional host-written room rules, and other room information, and permitted spectators can observe the room. There is no in-room text or voice chat. Do not disclose sensitive personal information in a display name or room rules.

Real-time play may be affected by latency, disconnects, background restrictions, device performance, incompatible versions, or service outages. We may treat a disconnected player as having left, time out a room, or resolve an incomplete match according to the App's current rules.

Game Nest games have no cash stakes, cash-out, prize, or real-money wagering feature. Casino-style, card, dice, and random games are simulations for entertainment only.

5. Game Nest Pro and purchases

Game Nest Pro currently unlocks:

• creation and hosting of supported online rooms;
• Personal Game Studio features, such as eligible photo-based personalization, custom boards, pieces, card backs, colors, and custom sound assignments; and
• Pro Insights, including expanded local play-history views, trends, records, and shareable summaries.

The purchase screen shown in your store region is the authoritative source for the exact product, price, billing period, trial eligibility, taxes, and included features at checkout. We may improve, replace, or discontinue individual Pro features, while respecting applicable law and any entitlement expressly sold as lifetime access.

Subscriptions

Monthly and yearly subscriptions are billed through Apple App Store or Google Play. Unless canceled, a subscription renews automatically at the price and interval shown by the store. You can manage or cancel it in your store-account subscription settings. Deleting the App, resetting App data, deleting scores, or sending us a deletion request does not cancel a subscription.

If the store offers a free trial or introductory price, eligibility and duration are determined by the store. Unless canceled before the store's deadline, a trial may convert to a paid subscription. Game Nest cannot override store eligibility or renewal rules.

Lifetime purchase

A lifetime product is a one-time entitlement to the applicable Game Nest Pro features for the commercially supported lifetime of the App and product, not the buyer's lifetime and not a promise that every present feature or platform will remain available forever.

Restoration, billing, and refunds

Use Restore Purchases while signed in to the store account used for the original purchase. Purchases are tied to store records and may not transfer between Apple and Google ecosystems. Apple or Google processes payment details, billing disputes, cancellations, taxes, and refunds under its rules. Nothing here removes any refund or cancellation right granted by applicable law.

6. Your content and choices

You retain rights in photos, sound files, names, text, QR content, and other material you choose to use with the App. You are responsible for having permission to use that material and for avoiding content that violates law or another person's rights.

Personal Game Studio media is copied and processed locally and is not uploaded to our backend by that feature. Other utilities also generally process input locally. If you share, print, export, or back up content, you direct the operating system and selected destination to handle it. Review the destination before sending anything sensitive.

For information you intentionally transmit to an online feature—such as a display name, score, room rules, room state, or move—you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and adapt that information only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, and improve the requested feature, comply with law, and enforce these Terms. This license ends when the information is deleted from active systems, subject to reasonable backups, legal retention, and de-identified data.

7. Privacy and deletion

The Privacy Policy explains what is stored locally, what is sent automatically, what is sent only when you use an online feature, which providers are involved, and how long information is kept.

The Data Deletion Guide explains the difference between deleting leaderboard scores, resetting local App data, clearing app storage, canceling a subscription, and requesting full cloud-data deletion. These actions are not interchangeable.

8. App permissions and third-party services

Some features depend on your device, app store, operating system, internet provider, or third-party services such as Supabase, RevenueCat, Vercel, Google Fonts, Apple, and Google. Their own terms and privacy policies govern the services they independently control.

The App may ask you to select a photo or file or may open system sharing, printing, text-to-speech, review, backup, or external-link features. Grant only permissions you are comfortable with. You can revoke device permissions through system settings, although the related feature may stop working.

Links to third-party sites or apps are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement. We are not responsible for their content, security, availability, transactions, or privacy practices.

9. Informational tools and generated outputs

Calculators, scores, statistics, recommendations, random selections, QR codes, timers, and generated or shared outputs can contain errors and are provided for general convenience or entertainment.

• BMI, calorie, and similar wellness results are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
• Finance, affordability, currency, and “Time to Buy” results are not financial, tax, employment, or investment advice.
• Randomizers, dice, spinners, and team makers are not certified for gambling, regulated drawings, security, or high-stakes decisions.
• QR codes and exported files should be checked before distribution; you are responsible for the content you encode or share.

Do not rely on the App where an error, delay, or data loss could cause injury, financial loss, legal harm, or another serious consequence. Consult a qualified professional when appropriate.

10. Ownership and feedback

The App, Website, visual design, software, trademarks, and original content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. References to familiar game names or rule systems do not claim ownership of public-domain rules or third-party marks.

If you send suggestions or feedback, you permit us to use them without restriction or compensation, but you keep ownership of any rights the law does not allow you to waive. Do not send confidential information as feedback.

11. Updates, compatibility, and availability

We may release updates, change rules or balancing, add or remove content, alter supported devices, require a newer App version for online play, or maintain and replace backend services. Store review, regional rules, technical limitations, and third-party outages can affect availability.

We do not promise that the Services will always be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every device, or available in every location. Keep your own copies of exported information that matters to you. App updates, resets, operating-system behavior, corrupted storage, uninstalling, or device loss can remove local progress or files.

We may discontinue all or part of the Services. Where law requires notice or a remedy for a paid service, we will provide it.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and uninterrupted availability. We do not warrant a particular game outcome, rank, opponent, purchase result, insight, calculation, or preservation of data.

Some jurisdictions do not allow particular disclaimers, so those disclaimers apply only to the extent lawful. Any mandatory warranty remains unaffected.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Game Nest and its operator, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of data, progress, goodwill, revenue, or opportunity; or harm resulting from third-party services, user content, unauthorized room access, or reliance on an informational tool.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for Game Nest during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or INR 1,000. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or injury where applicable law forbids limitation.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Game Nest and its operator from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs caused by your unlawful misuse of the Services, your infringement of another person's rights, or content you encode, import, transmit, or share. This section does not require a consumer to indemnify us for our own breach, negligence, or unlawful conduct.

15. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. You can delete local data or request cloud-data deletion as described in the Data Deletion Guide, but you must cancel recurring subscriptions separately through the store.

We may suspend or terminate access to online features when we reasonably believe you materially violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, manipulated the service, or threatened its security or other users. Where practical and appropriate, we will give notice and a chance to appeal by email.

Sections that by their nature should survive—such as ownership, payment obligations already incurred, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms, and licenses needed for retained backups—remain effective after termination.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a formal claim, please email voythrix@gmail.com so we can try to resolve it informally. If a dispute cannot be resolved, it may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in India, subject to any mandatory consumer right to proceed in another forum or under another law.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Services, providers, risks, or law. We will change the date above and provide additional notice in the App, on the Website, or through the store listing when a change is material. If law requires consent, the updated Terms will not apply until that consent is obtained. Otherwise, continuing to use the Services after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

18. General provisions

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions will continue. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, reorganization, asset transfer, or by operation of law, subject to your mandatory rights. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable purchase disclosures, and any additional feature-specific terms form the agreement between you and us concerning the Services.
