2. The Service

Gronte is a mobile application and backend service that offers real-time multiplayer trivia (quiz) gameplay. Users may create and play quizzes, host sessions to compete with other players, make friends, and earn levels and achievements.

3. Account & Your Responsibility

• You must provide accurate and current information (email, nickname) at registration.
• You are solely responsible for keeping your password confidential and for any activity occurring under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
• One person may create only one account. Fake, multiple, or impersonation accounts are prohibited.
• Your nickname is shown to other users and must not contain insults, obscenity, or content that infringes others' rights.

4. User Content

Quizzes, questions, answers, nicknames, avatars, and any other content you create constitute "User Content."

• Ownership: You retain all rights to your User Content.
• License: By posting User Content on Gronte, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, distribute, and display the content solely for operating the Service. This license terminates when you delete your account, at which point the content is also deleted.
• Responsibility: You are responsible for ensuring your User Content does not violate any law or third-party rights (copyright, trademark, personality rights).
• Moderation: We reserve the right to remove, hide, or suspend content or accounts that violate community guidelines or applicable law, with or without prior notice.

5. Prohibited Conduct

The following are strictly prohibited on the Service:

• Cheating, bots, automated scripts, or any tool that disrupts gameplay flow

Accounts that violate these rules may be suspended or terminated without warning.

6. Premium & Payments

Gronte may offer paid (Premium) subscription features in the future. In that case:

• Payments are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store; we do not see your payment card details.
• Subscription terms (price, renewal, cancellation) are governed by the rules of the relevant store.
• You may cancel your subscription at any time via the store's account settings.
• Your statutory consumer rights remain reserved.

7. Intellectual Property

The Gronte name, logo, mascot (Gront), user interface, sticker designs, source code, and all related intellectual property rights belong to the developer Gökhan Yılmaz. Use of the Service grants you only a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license for personal, non-commercial use. This license does not extend to republishing the Service on other platforms, commercial use, or creating derivative works.

8. Changes to the Service

We reserve the right to update, modify, or discontinue features, content, design, or behavior of the Service, with or without prior notice. Temporary outages may occur due to force majeure, technical maintenance, or security reasons.

9. Termination

• By you: You may delete your account at any time via the in-app "Delete Account" button. All your data (game history, achievements, friendships, quizzes you created) will be permanently deleted.
• By us: We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account, with or without notice, in case of breach of these Terms, suspected fraud, or legal obligation. If you have an active Premium subscription, refunds are governed by the store's refund policy.

10. Warranty Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or fully secure. We do not warrant the accuracy of quiz content, the suitability of user content, or fitness of the Service for a particular purpose.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Gronte (including its developer) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (loss of profit, data, reputation, etc.) arising from the use of the Service. Our total liability for direct damages shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service (if any) during the 12 months preceding the claim.

This limitation does not affect your mandatory rights as a consumer under applicable Turkish or EU consumer-protection law.

12. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the use of the Service shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation. Failing that, the Istanbul (Çağlayan) Central Courts and Enforcement Offices shall have jurisdiction. Consumers retain the right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts in their country of residence under EU consumer law.

13. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notice or email. The "last updated" date at the top indicates the current version. Continued use of the Service after the change constitutes acceptance of the new version.
