TERMS OF USE

What These Cover

These are the rules you agree to by playing Super Syndicate: how to play fair, what chat is for, what happens when someone crosses the line, and how the optional subscription works. What we do with your data is a separate document, the player policy.

Fair Play

• One account per player per game. No playing both sides of a game.
• No bots, automation or assistance tools in online games.
• No deliberately stalling games or abandoning ranked games to manipulate ratings. Repeated abandonment may count as a loss and affect your rating.

Game Chat Rules

• Chat is scoped to a single game. Only the two players can read or write it. No global chat, no private messages.
• Each player gets at most 50 messages per game, one every 2 seconds, up to 280 characters, plain text only.
• Reopening a finished game shows its old chat. Chat is deleted with the game.
• Not allowed: harassment or threats, hate speech, spam, sharing personal information, links or advertising, impersonation.
• By sending chat messages you accept they are visible to your opponent and reviewable if reported.

Reporting & Enforcement

• Use the report option on a game or a specific message. Reports are confidential and reviewed by the developers.
• Submitting false reports to harass another player is itself a violation.
• Depending on severity we may warn the account, mute chat, remove it from the leaderboard, or restrict/delete it.
• We may remove any chat message or game at our discretion.

Payments & Premium

• The game offers one optional subscription, Premium: no ads, and creating online games is always free (no coins needed). Two plans, monthly or yearly, with the exact price always shown before you confirm.
• All payment is handled by Google Play. We never see or store your card or payment details. We store only your subscription status: which plan, its state, and the date it's paid through.
• Cancel anytime in Google Play → Subscriptions. You keep Premium until the end of the period you already paid for; cancelling never cuts you off early.
• Subscribing happens in the Android app. Your Premium status follows your account everywhere, including the web version.
• A purchase is confirmed with Google's servers before Premium activates; reinstalling or switching devices restores it via RESTORE PURCHASES or automatically on sign-in with your email.
• Deleting your account does not cancel the Google Play subscription. Cancel it in Google Play → Subscriptions as well, or Google will keep charging for a subscription no account is using.
• Free players are never charged anything: the free tier needs no payment details at all.
