Terms of Service — Rip Largo

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Rip Largo: Ghost of Earth ("the Game"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Game.

These Terms apply to all users of the Game and the Rip Largo website (riplargo.com).

2. License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Game on any Apple device that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms and the Apple App Store Terms of Service.

This license does not allow you to:

Distribute, sublicense, lease, or lend the Game to third parties.
Copy, modify, or create derivative works based on the Game.
Use the Game for any commercial or revenue-generating purpose.
Remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices in the Game.

3. In-App Purchases

The Game offers optional in-app purchases to unlock additional chapters and content. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store.

Digital content purchases are non-refundable, subject to Apple's refund policy.
Purchases are tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on any device signed into the same Apple ID.
Prices are displayed in your local currency and may vary by region.
We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time. Price changes do not affect previously completed purchases.

4. User-Generated Content (Level Submissions)

Level Lab lets you create local custom levels and send a level file to a friend. Local creation, export, or friend-to-friend sharing is not a submission to Rip Largo and does not grant us a license to your work.

A separate, clearly labelled “Submit to Rip Largo” workflow may let you voluntarily send User Content for editorial consideration. Only that explicit submission is governed by the license below. Submission does not promise publication in a campaign chapter or elsewhere.

You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and distribute your User Content within the Game and related promotional materials.
You retain ownership of your original creations. This license does not transfer ownership of your intellectual property to us.
We reserve the right to review, modify, or reject any submission at our sole discretion, for any reason.
You represent and warrant that your submissions do not contain offensive, inappropriate, defamatory, or copyrighted material belonging to third parties.
You are solely responsible for the content of your submissions.

Hosted friend links, if enabled, may expire or be removed after reports or for safety, legal, operational, or abuse-prevention reasons. Do not include personal information in level names or text.

Owner/legal review required before activation: confirm the scope and irrevocability of the submission license, moderation/removal rules, creator deletion rights, and terms for minors.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Game.
Hack, exploit, or use cheats, automation software, bots, or any unauthorized third-party tools.
Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Game or its related services.
Use the Game in any way that violates applicable local, state, national, or international law.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems or networks connected to the Game.

6. Intellectual Property

All content in the Game, including but not limited to artwork, visual designs, procedurally generated graphics, synthesized music and sound effects, game mechanics, code, characters, storylines, dialogue, level designs, and the Rip Largo name and branding, is the property of the Rip Largo developer and publisher and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

The "Rip Largo" name, logo, and associated branding may not be used without prior written permission.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Game is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not guarantee that any defects will be corrected.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Rip Largo developer or publisher, their affiliates, or their licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:

Your use of or inability to use the Game.
Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your device data.
Any content or conduct of any third party related to the Game.
Any bugs, errors, or inaccuracies in the Game.

In no event shall our total liability to you exceed the amount you paid for the Game or in-app purchases in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

9. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Game immediately, without prior notice, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the Game is immediately revoked.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Game shall be resolved in the courts of Australia.

11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Game after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users through the Game or our website.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
