These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) apply to all games made by TapX Studio (“we”, “us”), including Punch Arena, and to this website (together, the “Services”). By downloading, installing or playing our games you agree to these Terms and to our privacy policies. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Services.
1. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you and is responsible for any purchases you make.
2. Your licence to play
We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to download and play our games on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment, in line with these Terms and the rules of the App Store or Google Play. All rights not expressly given to you stay with us.
3. In-app purchases and virtual items
- Our games may offer in-app purchases: one-time unlocks (such as Premium), bundles (such as the Starter Pack), season passes, and virtual items such as gems, coins and energy (“Virtual Items”).
- Virtual Items are licensed to you, not sold. They have no real-world value, can’t be exchanged for money, goods or services, and can’t be transferred, sold or traded, inside or outside the game.
- Prices are shown in the store in your currency and include any taxes the store applies. Payments are processed by Apple or Google under their own terms.
- Consumable Virtual Items, such as gems, coins and energy, are used up when you spend them. A season pass applies only to the season it was bought for.
- Refunds are handled by Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play under their refund policies; we can’t issue refunds directly. Apart from those policies and your rights under applicable law, purchases are final.
- If you live in the EU or the UK: when you buy digital content that is delivered straight away, you ask for immediate delivery and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once delivery has started.
- Premium and other one-time purchases can be restored with Restore purchases (in Settings or the Shop) using the same Apple ID or Google account. Consumed items and game progress can’t be restored.
- We may change the price, availability and content of Virtual Items. If we stop offering a game, we will give reasonable notice where the law requires it. Unless the law requires otherwise, unused Virtual Items are not refunded when a game ends.
4. Ads
Some games offer optional rewarded ads that give an in-game reward when you watch them. Ads are provided by third parties, and we are not responsible for their content or for the products they promote.
5. Your game progress
Our games save your progress on your device. There are no accounts or cloud saves, so we can’t recover progress that is lost when you delete the game, reset your device or change devices.
6. Fair play
You agree not to:
- cheat, use bots, hacks, modified versions of a game or other unauthorised software,
- change your device’s clock or settings to skip timers or gain rewards,
- exploit bugs (please report them to us instead),
- reverse engineer, decompile or extract assets from our games, except where the law allows it,
- interfere with ads or purchases, obtain Virtual Items by fraud, or abuse refunds or chargebacks,
- use the Services for anything unlawful.
If you break these rules, we may reset your progress or end your licence.
7. Updates and changes
We may update our games, change or remove features and content, rebalance gameplay, or stop offering a game. Some updates may be needed to keep playing.
8. Intellectual property
The games, including their characters, art, music, sounds, code and names, belong to TapX Studio or our licensors and are protected by law. Open-source components and their licences are listed in each game’s Settings.
9. Third-party services
Our games use services from Apple, Google and RevenueCat to deliver purchases and ads. Their own terms and privacy policies also apply when you use them.
10. Disclaimer
The Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we don’t promise that they will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be waived.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, TapX Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of data, progress or profits. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. These limits don’t apply to liability that can’t be limited by law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
12. Ending these Terms
You can stop using the Services at any time by deleting our games. We may suspend or end your licence if you break these Terms. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as those on intellectual property and liability, continue after the Terms end.
13. Additional terms for the Apple App Store
If you downloaded a game from the Apple App Store:
- These Terms are between you and TapX Studio, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the game or its content.
- Your licence is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the game.
- If the game fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the game.
- Apple is not responsible for handling any claims relating to the game or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the game fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.
- Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling or discharging any third-party claim that the game infringes intellectual property rights.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring a claim in your local courts. Before starting a formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue together.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the game or on this page before it takes effect. If you keep playing after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
