Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 and legally able to agree to these Terms where you live to create an account or use the Services. GGammon is not intended for anyone under 16 and does not offer a parent or guardian consent option. If you do not meet these requirements, do not create an account or use the Services.

2. Accounts and Connectivity

• Provide accurate information and do not create an account for anyone else without authorization.
• Protect your device, credentials, and account. You are responsible for activity you authorize.
• Do not sell, transfer, share, or lend an account, or use another person's account without permission.
• Tell us promptly if you believe an account or device has been compromised.
• You are responsible for the internet access, compatible equipment, and carrier or data charges needed to use the Services.

3. The Service; No Wagering

GGammon is a single-player backgammon game and learning service. It may provide games, match-play formats, saved progress, achievements, position analysis, and personalized or AI-generated coaching. Analysis and coaching are educational game feedback. They may be incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or wrong, and they do not guarantee any result.

The Services do not offer real-money gambling, wagering, or cash prizes. Scores, achievements, progress, access rights, and other virtual features have no cash value, are not deposits or property, and may not be sold, transferred, or redeemed unless a specific offer expressly says otherwise.

4. License, Ownership, and Feedback

Subject to these Terms, VR Gammon, LLC grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Services for lawful, non-commercial entertainment and learning. The Services—including software, visuals, audio, text, designs, trademarks, and compiled content—are owned by VR Gammon, LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. No ownership is transferred, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved.

If you voluntarily send us a private product suggestion or idea, you grant VR Gammon, LLC a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and incorporate it without compensation or attribution. This feedback license does not cover personal information, public reviews, or consumer complaints, and it does not restrict your right to share an honest opinion about the Services.

5. Acceptable Use

You must not attempt, assist, encourage, or enable anyone to:

• Cheat, exploit bugs, manipulate results, use unauthorized bots or automation, or interfere with fair play.
• Reverse engineer, bypass, disable, or tamper with security, purchase, entitlement, quota, or technical controls, except where applicable law expressly permits it.
• Access or probe an account, system, network, or data without authorization, or evade a suspension or restriction.
• Use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, harassing, deceptive, or rights-infringing activity.
• Copy, scrape, resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Services or their content without written permission.
• Introduce malware, overload the Services, disrupt another person's use, or interfere with normal operation.

Nothing in this section restricts honest reviews, lawful reports to regulators or law enforcement, legally protected security research, or any other activity that applicable law does not allow us to restrict.

6. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Entitlements

The purchase screen shows the offer available to you, localized price, billing period, benefits, and eligibility conditions before you confirm. Those offer-specific terms control if they conflict with a general description in these Terms.

• Apple or Google processes payment through the store account shown in its purchase sheet. Store terms and applicable law govern billing and refunds.
• Auto-renewable subscriptions renew unless canceled through the applicable store under the terms shown at purchase.
• Manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account or Google Play settings. Deleting the app or your GGammon account does not cancel store billing.
• Restore Purchases depends on the store's records, successful validation, and the GGammon account connected to the entitlement.
• Cross-platform or cross-app access exists only when the purchase offer expressly provides it and may require the same GGammon account.
• An entitlement is a personal, limited right to access the stated benefit. It is not transferable property and has no cash value.
• We may change benefits prospectively, but we will not override the terms of a completed purchase or any non-waivable refund or consumer right.

For purchases made through Apple In-App Purchase, Apple processes the transaction and handles applicable cancellation, statutory withdrawal, and refund requests under the Apple Media Services Terms and applicable law. EU and EEA consumers may have a right to withdraw from an initial App Store subscription within 14 days after receiving Apple's receipt, subject to applicable exceptions. Use Apple's Report a Problem service for that request. Canceling a subscription in Apple Account settings prevents future renewal and is separate from requesting withdrawal or a refund for the initial purchase. Nothing in these Terms limits a non-waivable consumer right.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how the Services process information. It is a separate privacy notice and does not create contractual promises beyond these Terms except where applicable law provides otherwise.

8. Third-Party and App Store Services

The Services may rely on third-party platforms, stores, identity providers, engines, cloud infrastructure, and other providers. Their products are governed by their own terms and may change or become unavailable. We are not responsible for a third party's own service except to the extent required by law.

For an app obtained through Apple's App Store, Apple's Standard EULA governs the app license unless a custom EULA is provided. These Terms govern your account and service relationship with us. Applicable Apple or Google terms control the store transaction and any rights that cannot be changed by these Terms.

9. Availability and Beta Features

We may update, rebalance, limit, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Services. Features and availability may differ by device, region, account, app version, or release stage. We do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or permanent availability.

• Beta, TestFlight, preview, sandbox, and experimental features may be incomplete, unstable, reset, changed, or removed.
• Test progress, coaching history, accounts, and sandbox purchases may be reset and do not establish paid production access.
• Do not rely on a beta feature or saved state for any critical purpose.

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Any discontinuation remains subject to completed purchase terms and non-waivable refund or consumer rights.

10. Apple Vision Pro Safety

Use the Vision Pro app in a safe, clear environment and follow all Apple and device safety guidance. Stay aware of people, pets, furniture, walls, and other hazards. Stop immediately if you feel discomfort, dizziness, eye strain, nausea, or loss of balance. You are responsible for deciding whether your environment and physical condition are appropriate for immersive use and accept the ordinary risks inherent in moving in an immersive environment, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise.

11. Suspension, Termination, and Account Deletion

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access when we reasonably believe it is necessary because of a Terms violation, suspected fraud or abuse, a security or legal risk, a legal requirement, or a service shutdown. We may act without advance notice when reasonably necessary to protect the Services, users, or third parties.

• When access ends, the license in Section 4 ends and you must stop using the affected Services.
• You can start an account-deletion request at https://ggammon.ai/account-deletion.
• Deletion does not cancel store billing and may permanently remove progress, preferences, and other account data.
• We may retain records reasonably needed to prevent fraud, protect security, resolve disputes, enforce these Terms, or comply with law, consistent with the Privacy Policy.
• No refund is due because of a suspension, termination, or deletion except as required by the purchase terms, store policy, or applicable law.

Sections 3 through 8 and 11 through 18 survive to the extent their nature requires.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express, implied, or statutory.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment. We do not warrant uninterrupted or secure access, compatibility with every device, permanent retention of data, error-free or accurate analysis or coaching, third-party services, or any particular learning or gameplay outcome. You remain responsible for your decisions and use of the Services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, remedy, or consumer right that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VR Gammon, LLC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, goodwill, profits, revenue, business, or opportunity, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services, under any legal theory, even if advised that such damages were possible.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of all of those parties for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the first claim or USD $50.

These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose and reflect the allocation of risk between you and us. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or death or personal injury where applicable law prohibits that limitation. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VR Gammon, LLC and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and service providers from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, judgments, and reasonable legal expenses caused by your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services, your material breach of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights.

We will give reasonable notice of a covered claim and may control its defense and settlement. You will provide reasonable cooperation and may not settle a claim in a way that imposes an admission, payment, or other obligation on a protected party without that party's written consent. This section does not require you to indemnify a protected party for its own fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, and it does not apply where consumer law prohibits it.

15. Disputes and New York Law

Informal Notice of Dispute.

Before filing a lawsuit, the party raising a claim must send the other party an individualized written Notice of Dispute and allow 30 days for a good-faith effort to resolve it. A notice to us must be emailed to contact@vrgammon.com with the subject "Notice of Dispute." We may send a notice to the email address or other contact information associated with your account.

The notice must identify the claimant and relevant account, describe the facts and legal basis of the claim, state the specific relief requested, and include the claimant's or authorized representative's signature. This process is a condition before filing to the extent permitted by law. The applicable filing period is tolled while the 30-day process is pending. It does not prevent an eligible small-claims filing, a filing needed to preserve a limitations period, a request for urgent temporary or injunctive relief, or a report or complaint to a government agency.

Time to file claims.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one year after the claim accrues. If applicable law does not allow a one-year period, the claim must be filed within the shortest period that law permits. This paragraph does not shorten a filing period that applicable law makes non-waivable.

Governing law and fees.

Federal law and the laws of the State of New York govern these Terms and disputes arising out of or relating to them or the Services, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. This choice does not take away any non-waivable consumer protection or mandatory forum right that applies where you live. A claim must be brought in a court with lawful jurisdiction and in a venue permitted by applicable law.

Except where a statute, court rule, or this paragraph permits otherwise, each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs. If a court finally determines that a party brought or maintained a claim or defense primarily to harass, in bad faith, or without a reasonable basis in law or fact, the court may award the other party reasonable fees or costs, or impose another available sanction, to the extent permitted by law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Services or law changes. We will post the new version, revise the date above, and provide additional notice when required. Material changes apply prospectively. We will request affirmative acceptance when required by law or when a change materially affects dispute resolution or other important rights. A revised date alone does not make a material change retroactive or change the terms that govern a dispute that arose before the new effective date. If you do not agree to an updated version, stop using the Services.

17. General

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain effective. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a financing, reorganization, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

These Terms and any terms presented with a specific purchase are the entire agreement about the Services. If they conflict, the specific purchase terms control only for that offer, and applicable store terms control the store transaction or app license. Headings are for convenience only. These Terms do not create an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship, and they create no third-party beneficiary rights except where expressly stated.

We may provide service or legal notices through the Services or using contact information associated with your account. Actual or threatened misuse of our intellectual property, systems, or security may cause irreparable harm; we may seek temporary, injunctive, or other equitable relief from a court with jurisdiction in addition to other available remedies.
