Downdraft terms of use
The short version
Play it, enjoy it, do not cheat the shared scores, do not copy it and sell it. It comes as it is, with no promises that it will always work. The Android app has ads and an optional purchase that removes them. The web game has no ads.
Who this is for
You must be 13 or older to play. Downdraft is not made for children and is not directed to them. If you are under the age at which you may agree to terms where you live, a parent or guardian must agree for you.
Your licence to play
NimbleMyth gives you a personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive licence to play Downdraft on your own devices. You may not transfer it. The game stays ours: its code, art, sound, music, missions and name are ours or used with permission, and nothing here sells you any of them.
Free to play, ads and the purchase
- The web game is free and shows no ads.
- The Android app is free. It shows a short ad between some missions, and an optional ad you can watch to continue after your last chopper is lost. Ads come from Google AdMob; what that collects is described in the privacy page.
- The PILOT'S LICENCE (the supporter pack, first sold as REMOVE ADS) is a one-time purchase in the Android app, through Google Play. It turns the ads off on the Google account that bought it, for as long as we offer the app, and unlocks cosmetic paintjobs; it changes nothing in play. Payment goes through Google Play, and we never see your payment details. To ask for a refund, start with Google Play; Google's refund policy applies. If Google cannot help, or the purchase does not work, write to us: we can also refund through Google Play, and your rights under consumer law where you live still apply.
No account, and offline play
There is no account and no sign-in. Your scores, options and key bindings stay on your device, and clearing the site's data or uninstalling the app deletes them. The game plays without a connection once it has loaded. Anonymous play statistics are sent when you are online unless you turn them off in Options; the privacy page says exactly what.
What you agree not to do
- Do not tamper with the daily or weekly sortie, a shared result, a challenge code or the play statistics to fake a result, or send false counts to the statistics server.
- Do not copy, sell, rent, rebrand or re-host the game or its files, or take its art, sound or music out of it for any use of your own, except where the law gives you that right regardless of this paragraph.
- Do not decompile, reverse engineer or take the game apart, except as far as the law allows you to despite this paragraph.
- Do not attack, overload or probe the game's website or statistics server.
If you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, we may stop the game working for you, and the licence above ends. We will not take away a purchase over a small or honest mistake.
Where the game comes from
Downdraft is an original game inspired by the classic arcade rescue games. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the makers of any other game. Other names and marks belong to their owners.
No warranty, and a limit on what we owe
Downdraft is provided as it is and as available. We do not promise that it is free of errors, that it will run on your device, that your saved scores will never be lost, or that it will always be online. We may update it, and one day we may stop offering it.
This does not take away the rights the law gives you. If you paid for the PILOT'S LICENCE, it must work as described; if it does not, you can ask for it to be fixed or refunded.
Apart from those rights, we are not liable for loss nobody could have expected when you started playing, or for lost scores or settings. Otherwise, the most we owe you is the greater of what you paid us in the last 12 months and CAD $50.
These limits do not apply to death or personal injury caused by our negligence, to fraud, to harm we cause on purpose or through gross negligence, or to anything else the law says cannot be limited.
If you live in Quebec: the exclusions and limits in this section do not apply to you where the Consumer Protection Act or the Civil Code of Québec forbids them, and you keep the legal warranty of quality.
If you live in the EU, the UK or Australia: you keep your legal rights for digital content and your consumer guarantees. Nothing in these terms limits them.
Store terms
If you got the game from Google Play, Steam or GOG, that store's terms apply to your download and purchase as well. If these terms and the store's terms disagree about the purchase itself, the store's win. The store's terms do not reduce your rights under consumer law.
Changes
We may change these terms, for example when the game comes to a new store, when we change the ads or the purchase, or when the law changes. The new version is published here with a new effective date, and the game's changelog says so.
If a change affects the purchase or your rights, we announce it in the game's changelog and on this page at least 30 days before it takes effect. A change applies from its effective date, never before, and it will not take away what you already paid for.
If you do not accept a change, you can stop playing. If you bought the PILOT'S LICENCE and the change makes it worse for you, write to us within 30 days after the change and we will refund it.
If you keep playing after the effective date, the new terms apply to you.
The law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, except that where you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer law of the place you live still applies to you. If the law where you live allows it, you can also bring a claim in your local courts.
