Terms of Use

Last updated: June 1, 2026 · Effective: June 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Tang Software LLC ("Tang Software," "we," or "us") governing your use of our website and our games, including BubbleMerge and Apartment 520 (together, the "Services"). By accessing the website or downloading and playing our games, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Services.

2. Your license to play

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use our games on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment. This license is for using the games as intended — it doesn't transfer ownership of the games to you.

3. Acceptable use

To keep things fair and safe for everyone, you agree not to:

• Copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of our games, except where that restriction is prohibited by law;
• Distribute, rent, lease, sell, or sublicense the Services;
• Use cheats, automation, exploits, or unauthorized third-party software to interfere with normal gameplay;
• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law; or
• Attempt to disrupt or compromise the security or integrity of the Services or our systems.

4. Purchases & the App Store

Our games are distributed through the Apple App Store, and any purchases (including optional in-app purchases) are processed by Apple under Apple's terms. Prices are shown before you buy. Because Apple handles billing, refunds are managed by Apple according to their policies — you can request one through your Apple account. We're happy to help where we can; just contact us.

Optional purchases in our games unlock content or remove ads. We don't sell gameplay advantages, loot boxes, or randomized paid items.

5. Intellectual property

The Services — including all games, source code, artwork, characters, music, text, logos, and the names "Tang Software," "BubbleMerge," and "Apartment 520" — are owned by Tang Software LLC or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license above, nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Services.

6. Feedback you send us

We love feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or bug reports, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use them to improve our Services without any obligation to you. You don't have to send us feedback, but if you do, please don't include confidential information.

7. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure. You use the Services at your own discretion and risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tang Software LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us for the Services in the twelve months before the claim, or USD $50, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time by deleting our games. We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these Terms or use the Services in a way that could harm us or other players. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Washington, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
