Veygate — Terms of Use

1Provider and scope

These Terms govern the Android game Veygate, provided by Zydeno. Contact [email protected]. Read the Privacy Policy for local storage, manual archives and support correspondence.

2Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Zydeno, the developer of Veygate (“we”, “us”). They apply to the Veygate app for Android, its updates and everything it shows or produces (together, “the app”). By installing, opening or using the app you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the app and uninstall it.

The Privacy Policy explains how the app handles data and forms part of these Terms. If we offer optional features under additional terms in the future, for example paid features, those terms will be shown to you before you accept them and will apply together with these Terms.

You must be old enough to enter into a binding contract where you live, or use the app with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms for you. If you use the app for an organisation, you confirm that you may accept these Terms on its behalf; the consumer-protection provisions of these Terms apply only to consumers.

3The game

Veygate is an offline maze puzzle: move a piece through a board and push pivoting bars that turn and latch. It includes 120 campaign boards, a local pool of 400 daily boards, practice lessons, undo/redo, restart, hints and progress records. Daily boards are selected on the device; different device dates or time zones can select a different board. They are not live events or competitions.

There are no prizes, money stakes, gambling, loot boxes, multiplayer services or online leaderboards. Progress has no monetary value. Do not describe a puzzle completion as a professional, educational or medical qualification.

4Not professional advice; no safety-critical use

This is a puzzle game for entertainment. Boards, move counts, hints and completion records describe play within the game; they are not assessments of intelligence, health, educational attainment or professional ability. No cognitive improvement, therapeutic benefit or educational outcome is promised.

Hints and saved results may contain errors. Take breaks, use comfortable sound and haptic settings, and stop playing if you feel discomfort. Do not play while driving, operating equipment or doing anything that needs your attention for safety. The game is not professional advice, a safety tool or an emergency service.

5Licence to use the app

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable licence to download, install and use the app on Android devices you own or control, for your own purposes (personal puzzle play and entertainment). The app is licensed to you, not sold.

Except where these Terms, an open-source licence or mandatory law allow it (for example decompiling for interoperability where the law permits), you may not: copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the app; decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer it; rent, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or publish it, or make it available for use by others over a network; remove or change any copyright, trademark or legal notice; or get around any technical limit of the app, including any future purchase, licence or advertising mechanism.

Open-source components and fonts in the app are licensed under their own licences, listed in the app under About → Open-source licenses. Those licences prevail for those components, and nothing in these Terms limits the rights they give you.

6Comfortable play and local records

Choose comfortable sound, haptic, motion and control settings. Take breaks. You are responsible for your device, selected files and keeping copies of progress you want to retain. We do not hold a server copy and cannot restore a lost save. Changing device time can change the selected daily board.

7Exports, imports and deletion

Use Settings → Your data to export an archive or select an archive for import through Android’s document picker. Import validation and preview do not guarantee a file is trustworthy. Replacement can overwrite progress; export a copy first. The app attempts transactional recovery after an interrupted replacement but cannot guarantee recovery after device or storage failure.

Archives are not encrypted by the game. A cloud-backed destination you select is governed by that provider’s terms. Delete all data removes local progress and preferences, including restore copies after successful deletion; it does not remove files exported elsewhere. Uninstalling or clearing Android app storage can erase saves. Automatic Android backup and device transfer are disabled.

8Third-party software and original content

AndroidX, Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, kotlinx.coroutines and kotlinx.serialization are used under Apache License 2.0, together with Apache-2.0 transitive components including Okio, Guava ListenableFuture and JetBrains annotations. Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and Istok Web are bundled unmodified under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. License texts and copyright notices are available offline in Settings → About. Open-source license rights take priority over inconsistent restrictions in these Terms.

Boards, teaching layouts and pivot/bar artwork are created for Veygate. Sound effects are original deterministic synthesis authored by Zydeno; generated samples are dedicated under CC0 1.0. No third-party game artwork, sound recording, level pack or branded character is licensed or bundled. Generic puzzle ideas are not claimed as exclusive property.

Android, Google Play, your browser, e-mail client and any document provider are independent services with their own terms. They are identified only as needed to explain how the app works; no endorsement is implied.

9Acceptable use

Use the app lawfully. Import or distribute only files you have the right to use. Do not falsely represent game records as evidence of skill certification or as a prize entitlement.

You also agree not to:

use the app, or data obtained through it, in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent or harmful, or that infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
enter, store or pass on other people’s personal data with the app unless you are allowed to do so;
interfere with or disrupt the app or any service it connects to, introduce malicious code, or try to gain unauthorised access to any system;
use automated means to extract data from the app or from the services it uses beyond normal personal use;
present the app or its output as official, certified or endorsed by any authority, manufacturer or data provider.

10Intellectual property

The app’s original code, visual presentation and authored content are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. Your export files and personal records remain under your control; exporting a file does not transfer ownership of bundled software or game artwork.

The names Zydeno and Veygate and their logos are our marks. You may refer to them to describe the app accurately, but not use them in a way that suggests endorsement. Names of third parties appear only to identify data sources, file formats, standards or rules; they belong to their owners and do not imply endorsement. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you. We claim no rights in your own projects, data or exported files.

11Price, payments, ads and future paid features

Current version. The current version of Veygate is provided free of charge, without ads and without in-app purchases or subscriptions. This describes the current version only. It is not a promise that the app, or any feature of it, will remain free of charge or free of ads.

Possible changes. We may at any time introduce advertising; offer paid features, in-app purchases, subscriptions or a paid edition; change which features are free; and set or change prices. Features that are free today may require payment in a future version. We will describe such changes in the store listing and release notes, and in the Privacy Policy where they affect data.

Purchases. Any purchase will be made through Google Play and processed by Google under the Google Play Terms of Service and its payment policies. Prices are shown in Google Play before you buy, including taxes where applicable. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel them in Google Play; cancelling stops future renewals. Refunds follow Google Play’s refund policies and your mandatory consumer rights, such as the right of withdrawal in the EU and the UK. Where you ask for immediate access to digital content during a withdrawal period, you may lose that right to the extent the law allows, and you will be asked to confirm this before you buy. You are charged only if you choose to buy something.

Ads. If the app shows ads, they are supplied by third parties. We are not responsible for the content of ads or for the products and services advertised, and any dealings with advertisers are between you and them.

Price changes. We may change prices for future purchases at any time. For an active subscription, we will announce a price increase as Google Play and the law require, and you can cancel before it applies.

12Disclaimer of warranties

The game, its hints, move counts, daily selection and save functions are provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant error-free puzzles, uninterrupted play, compatibility with every device or preservation of local progress.

In particular, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we do not warrant that the app will meet your requirements, run without interruption, be compatible with your device or be free of errors or harmful components; that defects will be corrected; that data from third-party sources is accurate, complete or current; or that any feature, data source or price will remain available or unchanged.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits warranties, guarantees or conformity rights that cannot be excluded under the law that applies to you as a consumer (§14).

13Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost progress, corrupted or overwritten archives, loss of device access, interruption of play or decisions you make outside the game based on game results.

Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the app or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us for the app and in-app purchases in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (b) 50 euros or the equivalent in your local currency. For the current version, which is free of charge, you have paid nothing.

These limits apply whatever the legal basis of the claim (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability or otherwise), even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They are part of the basis on which we make the app available.

What we do not limit. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence; under mandatory product-liability law (including, where it applies, Directive (EU) 2024/2853 on liability for defective products and the UK Consumer Protection Act 1987); or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. Where the law allows only a partial limitation, our liability is limited to the extent it permits.

14Your rights as a consumer

If you use the app as a consumer, you benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live, and nothing in these Terms affects them. In particular:

EU and EEA: your statutory rights, including those on the conformity of digital content and digital services under the national rules implementing Directive (EU) 2019/770 where they apply, and mandatory product-liability rules, remain unaffected.
United Kingdom: your statutory rights, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, remain unaffected.
Australia: our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Where the law allows us to limit our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee for services that are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use, our liability is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.
New Zealand: if you acquire the app for business purposes, you agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply, to the extent the law permits.
United States and Canada: some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the exclusions above may not apply to you. In Québec, the mandatory provisions of the Consumer Protection Act apply.

15Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer against claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable costs, including reasonable legal fees, brought by third parties and arising out of (a) your use of the game and any archive files or other content you import, export or provide to others, (b) your breach of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law or of the rights of others, or (d) output of the app that you provide to another person, such as a client or employer. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own breach of these Terms or our negligence, or where local consumer law does not allow it.

16Changes, availability and termination

To the extent the law allows, we may change, update, add or remove features, change data sources, and suspend or discontinue the app, in whole or in part or in any country, at any time. We are not obliged to provide updates, maintenance or support, except where mandatory consumer law requires updates to keep the app in conformity.

You may stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. Your licence ends automatically if you materially breach these Terms, and we may end or suspend it where the law requires. When it ends, you must stop using the app and uninstall it. Your data stays on your device under your control, so export what you need first.

Provisions that by their nature should continue after these Terms end continue to apply, including those on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law and general provisions.

17Google Play

You obtain the app through Google Play. Your download, and any purchase you make, is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service and Google’s policies. Where these Terms conflict with Google Play’s terms on the distribution, billing, refunds or licensing of apps obtained from Google Play, Google Play’s terms prevail to the extent of that conflict.

These Terms are between you and the developer only, not Google. Google is not responsible for the app or its content and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Android and Google Play are trademarks of Google LLC.

18Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the app, including non-contractual disputes, are governed by the law of the country in which the developer is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The courts competent for the place where the developer is established have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country where that law allows it.

Before starting formal proceedings, please write to [email protected] and give us at least 30 days to try to resolve the issue informally. This does not affect any time limit that applies to you by law or your right to use an alternative dispute-resolution body available to consumers in your country.

19General provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional terms you accept for optional features are the entire agreement between you and us about the app.
Severability. If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it applies to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect.
No waiver. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example together with the app to another developer; where the law requires, this will not reduce your rights as a consumer.
Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of networks, devices or third-party services, natural disasters or acts of authorities.
Export and sanctions. You agree to use the app in compliance with applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
No third-party rights. No one other than you and us may enforce these Terms.
Notices. We may give notices in the app, in its store listing or release notes, or on this page. You can send notices to [email protected].
Language. These Terms are written in English, which is the binding version. A translation, if offered, is for convenience only, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.

20Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms, for example when we change the app, introduce ads or paid features (§11), or when the law changes. The effective date and version at the top of this page show which version applies, and the version history (§21) summarises the changes.

For material changes we give reasonable notice before they take effect, for example in the release notes or in the app. If you keep using the app after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the app and uninstall it. Changes do not apply to disputes that arose before they took effect.
