Stackabees Terms of Use

1. When these terms apply

These terms apply when you download, install or play Stackabees, or use stackabees.com. You can read them at any time at https://stackabees.com/terms/. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the game. You can uninstall it at any time.

2. Your rights as a consumer

If you use Stackabees for personal, non-business reasons, you are a consumer. In many countries, consumers have rights that no agreement can take away. Nothing in these terms removes or limits those rights. If any part of these terms conflicts with them, those rights win.

Section 18 gives extra information for some countries.

3. Children and parents

Stackabees is made for families, including children, and is designed for ages 6 and up.

If you are under 18, or not yet an adult under the law where you live, please read these terms with a parent or guardian. Your parent or guardian agrees to these terms for you and helps you follow them.

We never ask a child to give up any right. Nothing in these terms will be used against a child beyond what the law of their country allows. We never ask anyone to tell us their age or to confirm that they are an adult.

Parents and guardians: you decide whether Stackabees is right for your child, and how and when your child plays. Our For Parents page explains what is in the game and what is not.

The game never asks anyone, including children, for personal information. Our Privacy Policy has the details.

4. Your licence to play

Stackabees and everything in it belongs to us (see section 6). We give you permission (a "licence") to download, install and play Stackabees for your own personal, non-commercial enjoyment. You may use it on Android devices that you own or are allowed to use, as Google Play's rules allow.

This licence:

• is personal to you, and you can't pass it on, sell it or share it;
• is non-exclusive, which means we can give the same permission to other people;
• lasts until it ends as described in section 13.

You don't buy the game or anything in it. You get permission to use it.

5. Fair play: what you may not do

Please don't:

• copy, sell, rent, lend or hand out copies of the game or any part of it (sharing the official Google Play link is fine);
• decompile or reverse engineer the game, or try to take out its code, art, sounds or other content, except where the law allows this even though these terms say no;
• make, share or use modified versions of the game, or cheats, hacks or tools that change how it works;
• remove or change any copyright, trademark or licence notices;
• use the game, its name, its characters or its art in your own apps, products, ads, merchandise or brand;
• use the game in any way that breaks the law or harms other people.

Screenshots and videos: you are welcome to take screenshots or record videos of your own play and share them for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please don't suggest that we sponsor or endorse you. If you share online, please keep children's personal information private.

6. Who owns what

Stackabees belongs to us, Studio Salma. That includes:

• the software;
• our own game content and presentation;
• the 15 collectibles and other characters;
• the artwork, 3D models and animations;
• the music, sound effects and text;
• the Stackabees name, logo and bee mascot.

They are protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these terms gives you ownership of any of them, or any right to use the Stackabees name or logo.

Some parts of the game were made by others and are used under their own licences. These are the Unity game engine, and the Nunito and Liberation Sans fonts (SIL Open Font License 1.1). You can find the credits and licence details in the game under Settings > Privacy > Licences. Those licences apply to those parts, and nothing in these terms takes away any rights they give you.

Google Play and Android are trademarks of Google LLC.

7. Price, purchases and ads

• Stackabees is free to download from Google Play.
• The current version has no in-app purchases. Nothing can be bought.
• The current version shows no ads. Boosters and the "Double It!" bonus are free.
• A future version might add ads or purchases, or change what information the game uses. If so, we will update our Privacy Policy, and these terms where needed, before that version is released, following section 16. We will also say so in the Google Play listing and in the update's release notes.

8. In-game items have no money value

Collection Charge, collectibles, boosters, badges, scores and other in-game items are part of the game. They have no money value. You can't exchange them for money or for anything outside the game, and you can't buy, sell or transfer them. They exist only in the game's save on your device (and in any Android backup of it).

9. Your progress and your information

Your progress and settings are saved on your device. There is no account, and we run no cloud save, so we have no copy. That means we can't restore progress that is deleted. For example, progress is lost when the game is uninstalled, when its storage is cleared, or when the device is lost or reset.

If Android backup is turned on, Android may back up the game's save to your Google account and restore it later. That backup is a Google service, not ours. Our Delete Your Data page explains how it works.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information. In short, the game doesn't collect personal information. The game itself doesn't send anything from your device to us or to anyone else.

10. Test versions and feedback

We sometimes offer early test versions through Google Play's testing tracks. Test versions are still being built. They may have bugs, unfinished features, or wording that changes later. To join a test, the tester's Google account email address must be on our tester list (or in our test Google Group). Our Privacy Policy explains how we use these addresses. Please join tests with an adult's Google account.

If you send us feedback or ideas, you allow us to use them to improve Stackabees without paying you or owing you anything. Please don't include personal information about a child in your feedback.

11. Updates, availability and changes to the game

• We may update Stackabees to fix problems, improve it, or add, change or remove features. Updates come through Google Play.
• Stackabees works on many Android devices, but not all of them. Google Play shows whether your device is supported.
• Stackabees may not be offered in every country.
• We may stop offering Stackabees on Google Play or stop updating it. The game plays offline, so a copy already on your device will usually keep working. But we can't promise it will work on every future device or Android version.

12. Playing safely

• Take regular breaks, and help younger children do the same.
• A very small number of people can have seizures or other reactions to flashing lights or patterns, even if this has never happened to them before. If you or your child has epilepsy, or has had reactions like this, talk to a doctor before playing. Stop playing at once and get medical advice if you notice any of these:
  • dizziness or changes in vision;
  • eye or muscle twitching;
  • confusion or loss of awareness;
  • any movement you can't control.
• The Reduced Motion and Reduced Sensory settings make the game calmer, with fewer animations, softer flashes and fewer sparkles.

13. Ending these terms

You can stop using Stackabees at any time by uninstalling it.

If you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, your licence ends, and you must stop using the game and delete it. This section never takes away the rights in section 2.

Sections 2, 6, 8, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19 and 20 keep applying after these terms end.

14. Our promise about the game

We make Stackabees with care, and we provide it with reasonable care and skill. Because it is free and made by a small studio, we can't promise that:

• it will be free of every bug;
• it will work on every device;
• it will never be interrupted.

This does not affect any right you have under the consumer law of your country, for example if the game does not work as we described it.

15. Responsibility for loss or damage

(a) What is never limited. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for:

• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• loss or damage we cause on purpose or through gross negligence; or
• anything else for which the law of your country does not allow responsibility to be limited.

(b) Otherwise:

• We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or not using reasonable care and skill.
• We are not responsible for loss or damage that could not have been foreseen.
• We are not responsible for business losses (the game is for personal use only).
• We are not responsible for problems caused by events outside our reasonable control.

This paragraph (b) applies only where we did not act on purpose or with gross negligence.

(c) Lost progress. Your progress is saved on your device, not with us, and in-game items have no money value. So we are not responsible for progress lost because of things we don't control, for example:

• clearing the game's storage;
• uninstalling the game;
• a lost or reset device.

This does not cover a loss caused by our own failure to use reasonable care and skill.

16. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms only:

• to follow a change in the law, or a requirement of a regulator or court;
• to follow a change in Google's rules (or, for a future iPhone version, Apple's rules);
• to reflect a change to the game, for example a new feature, or adding ads or purchases;
• to improve safety or security; or
• to make them clearer, without reducing your rights.

How we tell you. We will publish the new terms at https://stackabees.com/terms/ with the date they take effect. We will also say so in the Google Play release notes of the first version of the game that uses them. For a change that matters to you, we will publish it at least 30 days before it takes effect. The only exceptions are when the law requires the change sooner, or when it is needed to keep players safe.

What a change can't do. A change never applies to anything that happened before it takes effect. It never applies to a dispute that has already started.

If you don't agree with a change, you can stop playing and uninstall the game at any time, at no cost.

If you live in Québec, section 18 explains which parts can change and how we will tell you.

17. Problems, governing law and courts

17.1 Talk to us first, if you like. Please email support@stackabees.com. We try to reply within a few working days, and we aim to reply within 14 days at most. Talking to us first is optional. It does not stop you going to court or to a consumer authority, and it does not change any time limit for bringing a claim.

17.2 If you are a consumer.

• The law of the place where you live governs these terms and any dispute about them. If your country has more than one legal system (for example a US state, a Canadian province, an Australian state, or Scotland or Northern Ireland in the UK), this means the law of the part where you live.
• You can bring a claim in the courts of the place where you live or, if you prefer, in the courts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
• If we ever need to bring a claim against you, we will bring it only in the courts of the place where you live.
• You can also use any consumer complaint body or dispute-resolution scheme your country provides.

17.3 If you are not a consumer. This applies if you use Stackabees or our website for business purposes. These terms are then governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the courts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia decide any dispute.

17.4 No forced arbitration. Nothing in these terms makes you use arbitration. Nothing in them stops you from joining a group or class claim where the law of your country allows it.

18. Extra information for some countries

Saudi Arabia. If you live in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Saudi law protects you, including the Civil Transactions Law and the E-Commerce Law. A court can change or set aside an unfair term in standard terms like these, and unclear wording is read in your favour. You can also complain to the Ministry of Commerce.

Other Gulf countries (United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman). Your country's consumer protection law applies. You can complain to your national consumer protection authority.

European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You keep the rights that EU consumer law (or Swiss law) gives you, including the rules against unfair terms. For free help with a problem involving a business in another country, you can contact the European Consumer Centre in your country if you live in the EU, Iceland or Norway. The EU's online dispute resolution platform closed in July 2025, so we do not link to it.

United Kingdom. You keep your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and other UK consumer law. You can bring a claim in the courts of the part of the UK where you live.

United States.

• These terms do not require arbitration and do not waive class actions.
• To the extent your state's law allows, we do not give implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose for this free game.
• Some states do not allow some of the limits in these terms, or limits on implied warranties. If your state does not allow a limit, that limit does not apply to you.

Canada. If you live in Canada, the consumer protection law of your province applies. If you live in Québec, the Consumer Protection Act applies, and any term that it does not allow does not apply to you. If you live in Québec, we can change only these parts of these terms: the description of the game, its features, ads and purchases (sections 7, 9 and 11), the fair-play rules (section 5), test versions (section 10), playing safely (section 12) and our contact details (section 21). We will show you any change in the game, in writing, at least 30 days before it takes effect. The notice will set out the new or changed wording, the date it takes effect and your right to refuse it. You can refuse by uninstalling the game, at no cost.

Brazil. If you live in Brazil, the Consumer Defence Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor) applies. You can bring a claim in the courts where you live, and you can contact your local consumer protection office (Procon).

Australia. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or changes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or changed.

New Zealand. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986, where they apply.

India. If you live in India, the Consumer Protection Act 2019 may apply. You can file a complaint with the consumer commission where you live or work.

Japan. If you live in Japan, the Consumer Contract Act applies. Section 15(b) applies only where we did not act on purpose or with gross negligence.

Republic of Korea. If you live in Korea, the Act on the Regulation of Terms and Conditions applies. Any term that this law makes invalid does not apply to you.

Türkiye. If you live in Türkiye, the Law on Consumer Protection (No. 6502) applies. Depending on the amount involved, you can apply to the consumer arbitration committee (tüketici hakem heyeti) or to the consumer court where you live. These are public bodies, not private arbitration.

Everywhere else. You keep the protection that the consumer law of your country gives you.

19. Languages

These terms are written in English. We plan to publish them in other languages too, starting with Arabic. Translations will be listed at https://stackabees.com/terms/. Every published version is valid. If two versions differ, the meaning that is most favourable to you applies.

20. General

• If a court decides that part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest of the terms still apply.
• If we don't enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about Stackabees. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information; it is not part of this agreement. Nothing in this section limits your rights if we told you something misleading.
• Google Play's own terms also apply to your use of Google Play, and to downloading and updating apps.
• You can't transfer your rights under these terms to anyone else. We may transfer ours to another person or business that takes over Stackabees, but this will not reduce your rights. If that happens, we will say so on these pages.
