Terms of Use and Sale
Purpose
These terms govern the use of the WildCards app, published by Maelik Astaoui (769 avenue Charles de Gaulle, 84330 Caromb, France, contact: chroniquespixels@gmail.com), and in-app purchases. By using WildCards you accept them.
The game
WildCards is a free-to-play collection game. Every species and every collection can be obtained without paying: free packs recharge regularly and duplicates give research points that let you study any species. Species join the game in waves.
Virtual cards and packs
- Cards, packs and points are digital content that grant you a personal right to use them in the game. They have no monetary value and cannot be traded, sold or exchanged for money.
- Pack contents are drawn at random on our servers using odds published in the app (Profile › Drop rates) before any purchase. Free and purchased packs use the same odds.
- A card's rarity is a game mechanic; it does not reflect how rare the animal is in the wild.
- We may rebalance the game (odds, missions, rewards). Any change to the odds is published in the app before it applies.
Purchases and Premium subscription
- Purchases are made only through the App Store (Apple) or Google Play, at the price shown in the app in your currency, and charged to your Apple or Google account.
- WildCards Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. It renews at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in your Apple or Google account settings.
- Premium gives: 3 free packs every 4 hours (instead of 1), storage for 6 free packs (instead of 2), the Naturalist and Ocean Giants packs, a badge, and no ads. It does not unlock any exclusive species.
- Purchased packs never expire. Cancelling Premium or letting it expire never removes your cards, packs or progress.
- In some countries where paid random packs are prohibited, they are not offered.
Withdrawal and refunds
Digital content is delivered immediately after purchase. By confirming a purchase you request immediate delivery and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal where applicable (EU consumers: Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU). Refunds are requested from Apple or Google under their terms. If a purchase was not credited, use “Restore purchases” or contact us.
Your account
- Your account is created automatically. To recover your collection on another device, back it up with your Apple or Google account, or your email address (Profile › Account).
- You can delete your account at any time from Profile. Deletion is permanent, including purchased packs. Remember to cancel Premium in your Apple or Google account: deleting the account does not stop store billing.
- Cheating, exploiting bugs, automation or bypassing our servers is prohibited and may lead to account suspension.
Intellectual property
The app, its design and texts belong to Maelik Astaoui. Animal photos and illustrations are used under open licences (CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA) and their authors are credited on each card. Taxonomy data comes from the Mammal Diversity Database (CC BY 4.0).
Availability and liability
We do our best to keep the game available and error-free but cannot guarantee it. The game may evolve. If we ever shut the service down, we will give at least 60 days' notice.
Disputes
These terms are governed by French law. In case of a dispute, contact us first at chroniquespixels@gmail.com. You may also use the consumer mediator free of charge: [médiateur de la consommation — à compléter], or the EU online dispute resolution platform. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence still apply.
Apple terms
If you use WildCards on an Apple device, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) also applies. Apple is not responsible for the app or its support.
