Terms of Service

Last updated: 23 October 2026 · Effective immediately

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Grooviz ("we", "us", "our"), governing your use of the Scuttle mobile game and any related services (together, the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

The short version:You can play Scuttle for personal enjoyment. Don't try to break it, copy it, or use it for anything illegal. We provide the game "as is" — we'll do our best to keep it working, but bugs happen and we can't promise it will always be available. Disputes are governed by the laws of France.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By installing or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA / UK) to use the App. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission. By using the App you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Your licence to use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the App on a mobile device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment.

You may not: (a) sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or distribute the App; (b) modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (c) remove any proprietary notices from the App; or (d) use the App in a way that violates any law.

4. Acceptable use

When using the App, you agree not to:

  • Cheat, exploit bugs, use cheats, hacks, or unauthorised third-party software, or otherwise tamper with the App.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the App or to any related systems.
  • Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair it.
  • Engage in any activity that interferes with another user's enjoyment of the App.

5. In-app purchases

The App is free to download. It offers an optional one-time in-app purchase to remove advertisements ("Remove Ads") and may offer optional consumable items (for example extra undos or hints). All purchases are processed by Google Play. We do not directly receive your payment details.

  • All purchases are final.Refunds, where available, are governed by Google Play's refund policies.
  • Restoring purchases. If you reinstall the App or install it on a new device using the same account, you can restore a previous Remove Ads purchase from the Settings menu. Consumable items are stored on your device only and cannot be restored once used, or if you uninstall the App or clear its data.
  • Pricing. Prices may vary by region and may change. We will display the current price before you confirm any purchase.
  • Taxes. Where applicable, sales taxes are included in the purchase price as displayed by the platform.

If you are a consumer in the EU, you acknowledge that, because the digital content begins to be supplied immediately upon purchase, you expressly waive your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal once delivery has begun.

6. Advertising

Unless you have purchased Remove Ads, the App displays advertisements served through Google AdMob. Some ads may be optional rewarded videos that grant you in-game help (for example a hint) in exchange for watching. We do not control the content of third-party advertisements; if you encounter an ad you believe is inappropriate or misleading, please email us at dev@grooviz.com and we will report it to the network.

7. Intellectual property

The App, including the name "Scuttle", the logos, characters, artwork, music, sound effects, code, and level designs, is owned by Grooviz or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.

You may capture screenshots and short video clips of your gameplay for personal, non-commercial use (e.g., social media). For any commercial use, please contact us first.

8. Updates & availability

We may from time to time release updates to the App. Some updates may be required for the App to continue to function properly. We may also discontinue the App, or any feature of the App, at any time without notice.

9. Third-party stores & services

The App is distributed through Google Play. Your download and use of the App may also be subject to the terms of the relevant store. The App also integrates third-party services (such as Google AdMob and platform billing) that have their own terms. These Terms do not modify the terms of those third parties.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, to the maximum extent permitted by law, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties — in those cases, the exclusions in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Grooviz, its affiliates, officers, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) twenty euros (€20). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Grooviz from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable lawyers' fees) arising from (a) your use of the App in breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law, or (c) your violation of any third-party right.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App without notice if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

14. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the App will be brought exclusively before the competent courts of France, except where applicable consumer protection laws give you the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated within the App or on this page before they take effect. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
