1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Tidal Island Studio ("we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, accessing, or playing Tidal Island on any Apple iOS device, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use and uninstall the application.
2. Limited License to Use
Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, Tidal Island Studio grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and play Tidal Island strictly for personal, non-commercial entertainment on compatible iOS hardware that you own or control.
3. Intellectual Property Rights
All intellectual property rights associated with Tidal Island—including but not limited to the game design, four-phase tidal mechanisms, audio compositions, visual artwork, character assets, puzzle board levels, trademarks, and code—remain the exclusive property of Tidal Island Studio and its licensors. You agree not to copy, reverse-engineer, decompile, modify, or distribute any part of the application without prior written permission.
4. Gameplay Progress & Device Storage
Game progression, completed voyages, unlocked chapters, and discovered island journal keepsakes are maintained primarily in local device storage. You acknowledge that:
- Uninstalling the application or using device clean-up utilities may permanently erase unbacked-up local game data.
- The in-app "Clear progress" utility provides immediate local data reset, which is irreversible once confirmed.
- Tidal Island Studio is not liable for progress lost due to device malfunction, operating system restores, or manual save deletion.
5. Online Services & Technical Updates
We may release updates, technical patches, or content recalibrations to optimize game performance and ensure platform compatibility. While core single-player levels remain accessible on device, certain service notices, rule documentation, and support features require active Internet connectivity.

When using Tidal Island and our support infrastructure, you agree not to:
- Attempt to circumvent security protections or alter application binaries.
- Deploy automated scripts, bots, or unauthorized tools against our support services.
- Submit fraudulent, abusive, or harmful inquiries through our technical support portal.
- Use the application in any manner that violates applicable local or international laws.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tidal Island Studio disclaims all warranties regarding uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or suitability for a particular purpose.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Tidal Island Studio or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to or inability to use the application.
