Terms of Use

Last updated: September 9, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms"), together with our Privacy Policy, govern your use of the mobile applications and games (the "Apps") developed and published by MnL Studio ("we", "us", or "our"). This includes every app and game we publish on the Apple App Store or Google Play, now or in the future, as well as this website. By downloading, installing, or using any of our Apps, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Apps.

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

You may use our Apps only if you are 13 years or older (or the minimum age required in your country) and are not barred from doing so under applicable law. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use our Apps only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

If you are using our Apps on behalf of an organization (such as your employer), you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and confirming that you have the authority to bind it, in which case "you" and "your" refer to that organization.

Our Apps do not require you to create an account. Where an App stores settings, history, or favourites, that data stays on your device — see our Privacy Policy.

2. License to Use

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use our Apps for your own personal use, or for the internal business use of your organization, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of the app store from which you obtained the App. Apps are licensed to you, not sold.

• For Apps obtained from the Apple App Store, this license is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing. For Apps obtained from Google Play, this license is limited to devices you own or control, as permitted by the Google Play Terms of Service.
• You may not distribute or make an App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time, and you may not transfer, redistribute, or sublicense it.
• If you sell or give away your device, you must remove our Apps from it first.

Nothing in these Terms conflicts with, or is intended to override, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or the Google Play Terms of Service; where a genuine conflict exists in relation to an App you obtained from that store, the store's terms prevail.

3. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

• Some Apps offer optional in-app purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions that unlock premium features or remove advertising.
• All payments are processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play Billing under their terms. Prices are shown in the store before you confirm a purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your store account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Where a subscription is offered with a free trial, you may cancel at any time up to 24 hours before the trial ends (Apple) or at any time before the end of the trial period (Google). If you do not cancel, the subscription converts to a paid subscription at the price shown when you signed up. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited if you purchase the subscription earlier.
• You can manage and cancel subscriptions at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective refund policies; we are unable to process refunds directly.

4. Your Content

Some of our Apps let you create or save content — for example, QR codes you generate, scan history, or saved favourites ("your content"). You retain full ownership of your content; we claim no ownership rights in it. You are solely responsible for your content, and you confirm that you have the rights necessary to it and that it does not infringe or misappropriate anyone else's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, or violate any applicable law.

Your content is stored on your device and is not uploaded to us, so we cannot restore it for you. Backing it up is your responsibility; uninstalling an App deletes it.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to do — or attempt to do — any of the following:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of our Apps or any part of them;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the source code of our Apps, except where permitted by law;
• Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice in or accompanying our Apps;
• Use our Apps for any unlawful purpose or in a way that could damage, disable, or impair them;
• Use cheats, exploits, automation software, or unauthorized third-party tools to modify or interfere with our Apps, including to falsify game scores or bypass advertising or paid features;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network we operate, or breach any security or authentication measure;
• Access or tamper with non-public areas of our Apps, our systems, or the technical delivery systems of our providers;
• Interfere with anyone else's use of our Apps, including by distributing malware or by overloading, flooding, or spamming our systems;
• Use our Apps to create, scan, or share content that is fraudulent, deceptive, or malicious — for example, encoding a link to malware or a phishing site in a QR code;
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with one;
• Violate the privacy or rights of others, or any applicable law or regulation; or
• Encourage or enable anyone else to do any of the above.

We are not obliged to monitor use of our Apps, but we may investigate suspected violations of these Terms and cooperate with law enforcement where the law requires it.

6. Intellectual Property

Our Apps, including all content, graphics, characters, logos, code, and other materials, are owned by MnL Studio or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in our Apps.

7. Copyright Complaints

We respect copyright law and expect you to do the same. If you believe that something in one of our Apps infringes a copyright you own or control, please email mnl.apps.26@gmail.com with a description of the work, where the allegedly infringing material appears, your contact details, and a statement made in good faith that the use is not authorized. We will review every notice we receive and remove infringing material where a complaint is valid.

8. Advertising and Third-Party Services

Our Apps may display advertising served by third parties (such as Google AdMob) and use third-party services (such as Google Firebase). Your use of these services is also subject to the third parties' own terms and privacy policies. See our Privacy Policy for details.

You must also comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using our Apps — for example, the terms of your wireless carrier or mobile data plan. You are responsible for any data charges you incur.

Our Apps may collect technical data about your device, system, and app software so that we can provide updates, support, and improvements. We use that information only in a form that does not personally identify you, as described in our Privacy Policy.

9. External Services and Links

Our Apps may give you access to third-party services, websites, and content ("External Services") — most obviously when an App with a scanning feature decodes a QR code or barcode that contains a web address, and when you follow a link in an advertisement. You use External Services entirely at your own risk.

We do not examine, evaluate, endorse, or guarantee the content, accuracy, or safety of any External Service, and we are not liable for it. A code you scan may have been created by anyone and may lead to a harmful, deceptive, or unavailable destination — always check a decoded address before you open it. Data shown by an App or an External Service is for general information only. External Services may be unavailable in your language or country, and we may change, suspend, or restrict access to them at any time without notice or liability. You agree not to use External Services in any way that breaks these Terms, infringes anyone's intellectual property rights, or harasses, abuses, stalks, threatens, or defames any person or entity.

10. App Store Terms

The following applies to Apps you obtain from an app store, and in particular from the Apple App Store. You and we acknowledge that:

• These Terms are with us, not the store. These Terms are concluded between you and MnL Studio only, and not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for our Apps and their content.
• Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for our Apps, to the extent required by these Terms or by applicable law — you can reach us at the contact details at the end of these Terms. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for our Apps.
• Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. If an App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to our Apps, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our sole responsibility.
• Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or any third party relating to our Apps or your possession or use of them, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that an App fails to conform to an applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability to you beyond what applicable law permits.
• Intellectual property claims. If a third party claims that one of our Apps, or your possession and use of it, infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

11. Legal Compliance and Export Restrictions

By using our Apps, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals List and the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List.

You may not use, export, or re-export our Apps except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained them, and you agree not to use them for any purpose prohibited by United States law.

12. Updates and Availability

We may update, modify, or discontinue any App (or any feature of an App) at any time, with or without notice. We do not guarantee that our Apps will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

Our Apps are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade. We make no warranty that our Apps will meet your requirements, or that they will be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free basis, and no warranty as to the quality, accuracy, or reliability of any result they produce — including the contents of any code, barcode, or link that an App decodes, which you should treat with the same caution as any link you find online.

14. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold harmless MnL Studio and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that result from your breach of these Terms, from your content, or from your violation of any applicable law or third-party right. This applies only to the extent the claim is caused by you, and not to the extent it is caused by us.

If you are using our Apps as a consumer, this section applies only where the law that protects you allows it. Nothing here limits your rights under the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MnL Studio shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) our Apps, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damage. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of our Apps shall not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the twelve months preceding the claim, or twenty US dollars ($20) if you have made no payment to us.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities, so some of the exclusions above may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by the law that applies to you.

16. Termination

These Terms are effective until terminated. Your rights under these Terms will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with them. We may also suspend or terminate your access to our Apps at any time — for example, if you are not complying with these Terms or if your use could cause us legal liability or disrupt others' use. We will try to give notice in advance where it is reasonable to do so, but may act immediately in cases of serious or repeated violations, a court order, or danger to other users.

Upon termination, you must stop using and delete our Apps. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Your Content, Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law — will continue to apply.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to your use of our Apps, are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Please contact us first: most problems can be settled quickly by email. Any dispute we cannot settle informally shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

This does not apply where the law of your country of residence says otherwise. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another country whose consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts, that right is unaffected, and you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live.

18. General Terms

• Entire agreement — these Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and MnL Studio regarding our Apps, and supersede any prior understandings.
• Severability — if any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions stay in full force.
• Assignment — you may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; any attempt to do so is void. We may assign or transfer these Terms freely, for example as part of a sale of our business.
• Notices — we will give any notice under these Terms by posting to this website or within the relevant App, or by email where we have your address.
• Waiver — our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of it; a waiver is effective only if made in writing by us.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date, and material changes may also be announced within our Apps. Continued use of our Apps after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
