Manarena — Terms of Service & End User License Agreement

Effective date: 25 October 2026 · Version 1.0 · Daniel Eordogh ("Manarena", "we", "us"), [email protected]

Plain-language summary (not a substitute for the Terms): Manarena is a free game with optional purchases. Virtual items have no real-world value and cannot be cashed out. The game is not gambling. Don't cheat, don't abuse others, and don't copy our stuff. We can change or shut down the game. We provide it "as is", our liability is limited, and disputes go to individual arbitration in Florida unless you opt out within 30 days. You must be at least 13 (or older where local law says so).

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Daniel Eordogh governing your use of the Manarena mobile game, including all updates, content, virtual items and related services (together, the "Game"). By installing, accessing or using the Game you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Game and delete it. Section 14 contains an arbitration agreement and class action waiver that affect your legal rights.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country to use the Game without parental consent (16 in some EU countries), whichever is higher. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms and takes responsibility for your use, including any purchases. We may require proof of age or consent and may suspend accounts that do not meet these requirements. You may not use the Game if you are barred from doing so under applicable law or have previously been removed by us.

3. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Game on a mobile device you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The Game is licensed, not sold. If you obtained the Game from the Apple App Store, the Apple-specific terms in Section 17 also apply.

4. Accounts

• The Game creates an anonymous account on first launch. You may optionally link it to Sign in with Apple or Google Play Games to recover progress on another device. If you do not link and lose or reset your device, your progress may be unrecoverable and we have no obligation to restore it.
• You are responsible for everything done through your account and for keeping your device and linked credentials secure. One account per person; you may not sell, trade, share, lend or transfer accounts.
• Your display name, avatar, frame, rank and the boards you build in ranked and Arena play are visible to other players. Display names must not contain personal information, impersonate others, or be offensive, and we may change or remove any name at our discretion.
• You can delete your account in the Game (Player → Account → Delete account). Deletion is permanent and forfeits all progress, virtual items and unconsumed Virtual Currency without refund.

5. Virtual items and Virtual Currency

1. No real-world value. Gems, Gold Dust, Shards, Tomes, Sigils, heroes, cards, foils, frames, avatars, passes, memberships and any other in-game items or currency ("Virtual Items") are licensed to you for use solely within the Game. They have no monetary value, are not your property, cannot be redeemed for money or anything of value outside the Game, and cannot be sold, traded, gifted or transferred to anyone, inside or outside the Game, except where we expressly enable a feature for that purpose.
2. Not gambling. The Game is a game of skill and strategy for entertainment. Nothing in the Game involves wagering real money, and no Virtual Item or outcome can be converted to real money, prizes or anything of value outside the Game. Randomised in-game mechanics (such as shop offers, card draws or rewards) are part of gameplay and are not games of chance within the meaning of gambling laws. The Game is not intended for use in any jurisdiction where its mechanics would be unlawful; you are responsible for complying with your local laws.
3. We control the economy. We may at any time, with or without notice, add, remove, modify, rebalance, re-price, expire or discontinue any Virtual Item, hero, card, mode, feature or reward, and change drop rates, costs, rewards, ranks and seasons. This includes changes that reduce the value or usefulness of items you have earned or purchased. You acknowledge that balance changes are inherent to a competitive game and agree that they are not grounds for a refund or claim.
4. Purchases are final. Purchases of Virtual Items are made through Apple or Google under their terms and are final and non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated by the relevant platform. We do not process payments and cannot issue refunds ourselves; refund requests must be directed to Apple or Google. Prices may vary by region and may change.
5. Odds. Where the Game offers randomised paid rewards we will disclose the odds as required by the relevant app store. Where the Game sells only directly specified items, no odds disclosure is required.
6. Subscriptions. If a subscription (such as a club membership) is offered, it renews automatically at the stated price and interval until cancelled through your Apple or Google account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Benefits apply only while active. Partial periods are not refunded.
7. Errors. If a bug, exploit or error grants Virtual Items or progress you were not entitled to, we may remove them and adjust your account.

6. Rules of conduct

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

• cheat, including using modified clients, memory editors, save editors, emulators used to gain advantage, bots, scripts, macros, automation, clock manipulation, network interception, or any tool or method that alters the Game, its data or its communications;
• exploit bugs rather than reporting them; manipulate matchmaking, ranks, seasons, leaderboards or rewards; or deliberately disconnect to avoid results;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, data-mine, extract assets from, or create derivative works of the Game, except where the law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
• copy, distribute, rent, sell, sublicense or publicly perform the Game or its content; use our names, logos, art, audio or characters without written permission (fair-use streaming, screenshots and reviews are welcome);
• buy, sell, trade, transfer or advertise accounts or Virtual Items for real money or anything of value;
• use display names or any content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexual, violent, infringing, or impersonates any person or entity;
• interfere with the Game's servers or networks, attempt unauthorised access, or burden our infrastructure;
• use the Game for commercial purposes, including advertising, without our written consent;
• violate any applicable law, or these Terms.

7. Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including warnings, removing content or names, resetting ranks or Virtual Items obtained unfairly, excluding boards from matchmaking, suspending or terminating accounts, and blocking devices — with or without notice and without liability or refund. Our determinations about fair play are final. If your account is terminated for violating these Terms, you forfeit all Virtual Items and may not create a new account.

8. Ownership and intellectual property

The Game and everything in it — software, code, art, animations, characters, heroes, cards, names, text, music, sound effects, voice lines, user interface, trademarks and the "Manarena" name and logo — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. These Terms grant you no ownership interest. All goodwill from use of our trademarks accrues to us.

9. User content and feedback

If you submit a display name, feedback, suggestions, bug reports, ideas or other content to us or in the Game ("User Content"), you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, display and distribute it in connection with the Game and our business, without compensation or attribution, and you waive any moral rights to the extent permitted by law. You represent that you have the rights to submit it. We may remove User Content at any time. We are under no obligation to keep ideas confidential, and we may already be working on similar ideas.

10. Updates, availability and termination of the Game

The Game may be updated automatically, and some updates may be required to keep playing. We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Game, any mode, feature, server or support, in whole or in part, at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. If we discontinue the Game entirely we will try to give at least 30 days' notice in the Game or on our site where practical. You acknowledge that Virtual Items will cease to exist when the Game is discontinued and that we have no obligation to refund or compensate for them. We do not guarantee that the Game will be available at all times, in all countries, or on all devices, or that it will be free of interruptions, delays, data loss or errors.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Game and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access or these Terms at any time, with or without cause or notice. On termination the license in Section 3 ends and you must stop using the Game. Sections 5, 8, 9, 11–16 and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination.

12. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Game is provided "as is", "as available" and "with all faults", without warranties of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, free of viruses or harmful components, that defects will be corrected, that progress or Virtual Items will be preserved, that matchmaking will be fair in any particular instance, or that the Game will meet your requirements. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from us creates any warranty. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case any implied warranty is limited to the minimum period permitted by law.

The Game involves screen time and, like all games, may be habit-forming. Play responsibly and take breaks. The Game is not intended to provide medical, financial, legal or any professional advice.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) in no event will we, our owners, officers, employees, contractors, licensors or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, progress, Virtual Items or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to the Game or these Terms, however caused and under any theory of liability (contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, statute or otherwise), even if advised of the possibility of such damages; and (b) our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Game or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (i) the amount you paid us for the Game in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) fifty US dollars (US$50). These limitations are fundamental elements of the bargain between you and us and apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in such jurisdictions our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14. Dispute resolution — binding arbitration and class action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights.

1. Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to email [email protected] with a description of the dispute and your display ID, and to negotiate in good faith for 60 days. Most concerns can be solved this way.
2. Arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Game or these Terms that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring individual claims in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator may award the same relief a court could award to an individual. Arbitration will be conducted in Miami-Dade County, Florida, or by video or phone if you prefer; for claims under US$10,000 we will reimburse your AAA filing fee unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous.
3. Class action and jury waiver. You and we each agree that claims may be brought only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding, and that the arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one person. To the extent any claim proceeds in court, you and we waive any right to a jury trial.
4. 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your display ID and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.
5. Severability. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court rather than arbitration, and the rest of this section remains in effect.
6. EU/UK consumers. If you are a consumer in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts. The EU online dispute resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Subject to Section 14, the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence that cannot be contracted out of still apply.

16. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our owners, officers, employees, contractors and licensors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your User Content, your violation of these Terms or of any law, or your violation of any third party's rights.

17. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the Game from the Apple App Store, the following applies in addition: (a) these Terms are between you and us only, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Game and its content; (b) the license is limited to use on Apple-branded devices you own or control as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service usage rules, except that the Game may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing; (c) Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support; (d) in the event of any failure of the Game to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Game; to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility; (e) we, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Game or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the Game fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or similar claims; (f) in the event of any third-party claim that the Game or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of such claim to the extent required by these Terms; (g) you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; (h) you must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the Game; and (i) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Our contact details are at the top of this page.

18. Google Play terms

If you obtained the Game from Google Play, you also agree to the Google Play Terms of Service, and Google is not responsible for the Game or for these Terms.

19. Export control and sanctions

You may not use or export the Game except as authorised by US law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained it. You represent that you are not a person or entity to whom provision of the Game is prohibited under applicable sanctions or export laws.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms at any time. We will post the updated Terms with a new effective date and, for material changes, give notice in the Game or on this page before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the changes. If you do not agree, stop using the Game and delete your account.

21. General

These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Game and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is held invalid, the remainder stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to an affiliate or successor. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment or agency relationship. Notices to you may be given in the Game, on this page, or to any email you have provided. Headings are for convenience only. We are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. The English version of these Terms controls over any translation.
