Terms of Service

1. Who these terms are between

Beloti ("the app", "the game") is made and operated by Avtandigital ("we", "us", "our"). These terms are an agreement between you and us, and they apply whenever you use the app. If you do not accept them, do not use it — installing it, signing in and playing are all ways of accepting them.

How we handle your information is a separate document and part of the same agreement: theprivacy policy. Where the two overlap — account deletion, for instance — the privacy policy is the more detailed one.

2. Who can use Beloti

You must be at least 16 years old. The app is not intended for anyone younger and we do not knowingly let under-16s create an account. If you are under 16 and have created one, or you are a parent who believes your child has, contact us at the address in Section 12 and we will delete it.

You also need to be able to enter into an agreement where you live, and you must not be barred from using the app by any law that applies to you.

3. Your account

You can play as a guest without giving us anything, or sign in with Apple or Google so your account survives changing phone. Either way it is a real account and it holds your coins and your match history.

• A guest account lives only on the device that created it. There is no way for us to recover one — no email, no password, nothing to identify it by. If you uninstall the app or lose the device, that account is gone, and so are its coins. Sign in with Apple or Google before you switch phones.
• Keep your Apple or Google account secure. Anyone who can sign in as you can play as you.
• One person, one account. Creating extra accounts to work around a suspension, or to funnel coins between them, is not allowed.
• You can delete your account from inside the app at any time. It is immediate and cannot be undone.

4. Coins

Coins are how a seat at a table is paid for. They are not money and never become money. Specifically:

• They have no monetary value, and no cash value at any time.
• They cannot be bought. There are no purchases anywhere in the app.
• They cannot be sold, traded, gifted or transferred to another player.
• They cannot be exchanged for money, goods, or anything else outside the game.
• You do not own them. They are a feature of the game, not property, and they exist only inside your account.
• They are consumed when you sit down to a match, including when you ask for another match after one finishes. A rematch costs the same as any other match.

The amounts — what a match costs, what an ad is worth — are shown in the app and can change. We will not change them retroactively to take coins you have already earned.

If we end a match ourselves, your entry fee comes back. That happens when the server restarts during a game, and the app tells you what was returned rather than asking you to take it on trust. If a match ends because you left it, it does not.

We can correct a coin balance that is wrong — because of a bug, a failed payment of a reward, or coins obtained by breaking these terms. We will not take coins you earned legitimately.

5. Ads

Beloti is free and funded by optional rewarded ads. Watching one is always your choice: no ad ever interrupts a hand, and if you cannot afford a match the game gives you enough to keep playing, so you are never stuck behind an ad. Ads are served by Google AdMob — what that involves is described in Section 6 of theprivacy policy.

Trying to obtain rewards without genuinely watching an ad — automation, tampering with the app, or interfering with how rewards are confirmed — is a breach of these terms.

6. Playing fairly

Three other people are in every match, and most of what follows is really one rule: do not spoil the game for them.

• Do not use bots, scripts, modified clients or anything else that plays for you or tells you what to play.
• Do not exploit a bug. If you find one, tell us — see Section 12.
• Do not arrange results between accounts, or play to lose in order to move coins around.
• Do not deliberately stall. The game shortens the clock for seats that use all of it, and repeatedly abandoning matches is recorded.
• Do not interfere with the service, try to gain access to parts of it that are not yours, or attempt to work out other players' cards by any means other than playing the game.

Some seats at a table are played by the game itself. That is always disclosed in the app — a bot is labelled as one, including when a bot takes over a seat whose player has disconnected.

7. Your display name, and what you can say

Your display name is shown to the other three people at your table, so it has to be something they can reasonably be shown. Names that impersonate somebody, that are offensive, or that pretend to be part of the game itself are refused, and we can change or remove one that gets through. Names can be changed once a day.

There is no chat in Beloti, and this is deliberate rather than unfinished: at a partnership card game, free text between partners is a way of passing information about a hand. The only things you can say at a table are a fixed set of emoji.

You can report another player from the table. Reports are read by a person, and we act on them at our discretion.

8. Suspension and ending your access

We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Where it is reasonable to do so we will say why, and a suspension can be temporary or permanent depending on what happened. Coins in a closed account are not refunded or transferred, because they were never money.

You can stop using Beloti whenever you like, and delete your account from inside the app. Deleting removes your personal information immediately; what survives, and for how long, is set out in the privacy policy.

9. The service itself

Beloti is an online game, so it needs our server to work. We do not promise it will always be available, or free of bugs. Matches can be interrupted — most often because the server is being updated — and when that happens the entry fee goes back.

We may change how the game works, add or remove features, or adjust the rules and the coin amounts. Where a change is significant we will make it visible in the app rather than quietly. We may also stop offering Beloti altogether; if we do, we will give what notice we reasonably can.

The app is provided as it is. To the extent the law where you live allows it, we do not give warranties about it, and we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, or for lost coins, lost match history or lost progress. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms — for instance if the game gains a feature these do not cover. The effective date above changes when we do, and continuing to use the app after that means you accept the revised terms. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will make it visible in the app rather than only here.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Georgia, and the courts of Georgia have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, this does not take away the protections of your own country's law. You keep the mandatory consumer rights you have where you live, and you can bring proceedings there. Our server is in Germany, which is described in the privacy policy.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies.

12. Contact us

Questions about these terms, bug reports, or anything else about the app can be sent toavtukalaz@gmail.com.

Beloti is a free online card game with no purchases of any kind; its coins are a game feature with no monetary value, as described in Section 4. These terms describe how the app actually works as implemented; they are provided as a starting point and have not been reviewed by a lawyer — consider a legal review before publishing to an app store, especially given the virtual currency and the EU consumers reached by a server in Germany.
