Terms of Service
Last updated: July 27, 2026 | Applies to: https://riverling.app
Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using the riverling app for iPhone and iPad, or by using the website at https://riverling.app — together, the "Service" — you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to the app whether you reached it through the App Store, TestFlight, or this website.
Description of Service
riverling is a single-player puzzle game for iPhone and iPad, distributed by Apple through the App Store and TestFlight, together with this website. The Service is provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time with or without notice.
User Accounts
riverling has no accounts. There is nothing to register for, no credentials to create, and no profile held by us. Your progress is stored on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your own iCloud key-value store, which we cannot read.
Game Center provides your identity and the leaderboards. That relationship is between you and Apple, governed by Apple's terms rather than these. Because we hold no account, there is nothing for us to suspend — but we may remove leaderboard entries that violate these Terms, and Apple may act under its own terms independently of us.
Age Requirements
riverling sets no minimum age. It is rated 4+, its content is suitable for all ages, and it asks nothing of you that a child could not do.
The reason we can say that plainly is that we collect no personal information from anyone, child or adult. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no server of ours for anything to reach, so there is no age threshold to enforce and no parental consent for us to obtain. The privacy notice says the same thing and goes through the three things that do leave your device, none of them to us. Parental controls for Game Center and for in-app purchases are set through Apple's Screen Time settings, not by us.
Intellectual Property
The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of riverling.app and its licensors. Our trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service without the prior written consent of riverling.app.
riverling has no way to upload or share content, so there is no user-generated content for us to license. The valleys you play are generated on your device from a seed, and the runs you finish stay with you. The only thing you can submit is a score posted to a Game Center leaderboard, which Apple hosts and displays under Apple's terms.
Other data does leave your device, none of it to us and none of it content we could license: your progress blob goes to your own iCloud storage, and if you turn on in-game weather, a coarse location goes to Apple's WeatherKit. The privacy notice covers those. If riverling ever gains a way to submit content, these Terms will be updated before it ships.
Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use the Service:
- In any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
- To transmit unsolicited commercial communications (spam)
- To impersonate any person or entity
- To engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits others' use of the Service
- To attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service
- To use automated scripts to collect information from or interact with the Service
- To upload or transmit viruses or other malicious code
Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without any warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. riverling.app expressly disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will function uninterrupted or error-free; (b) defects will be corrected; (c) the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, riverling.app shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service.
In no event shall riverling.app's total liability to you exceed the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amounts paid by you to riverling.app in the past twelve months.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Alabama, USA, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Alabama, USA.
Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
