Terms of Use

1. Provider

Backgammon AI Coach is provided by Computer Force SRL, Str. Gheorghe Lazăr nr. 3, 300078 Timișoara, Romania, J35/1824/1994, VAT ID RO5833419 ("Computer Force", "we", "us"). Contact us at Contact form; additional help routes are listed at backgammonaicoach.com/help/.

2. Educational service

The app provides backgammon play, rules, practice, position analysis and educational coaching. It does not facilitate real-money gambling, wagering, cash prizes or financial advice. Coaching can contain errors and outcomes in backgammon remain uncertain; use the service as a learning aid.

Legal moves and specialist scores come from deterministic rules or a designated analysis engine. Generative AI may explain verified inputs in natural language but is not authoritative for rules, move legality or numeric analysis.

3. Licence

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the applicable store usage rules. You may not copy, sell, sublicense, reverse engineer except where law permits, bypass security or billing, scrape the service, automate excessive requests, interfere with other users, or use the app unlawfully.

The app, website, branding, code, learning content and service design remain owned by Computer Force or their respective licensors. Open-source components remain governed by their own licences, available in the app.

4. Subscriptions, renewal and cancellation

• There is no automatic paid subscription signup or purchase, and no automatic top-up. Monthly subscriptions are voluntary purchases and renew automatically unless cancelled under the applicable store terms.
• Your Apple App Store or Google Play account is charged under the price and timing shown by that store.
• You can manage or cancel an Apple subscription at Apple Subscriptions and a Google Play subscription at Google Play Subscriptions.
• Deleting the app, clearing app data or deleting local coaching history does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds, billing disputes, grace periods and restoration are administered by Apple or Google under their rules, without limiting rights that cannot legally be excluded.

4a. Optional referral rewards

When the referral program is enabled in a compatible app, an accepted invitation can earn 25 bonus AI explanations for the inviter and 25 for the invited friend. The feature is prepared for version 1.0.7 (build 65), not yet distributed as of 10 October 2026. A published invitation page is not proof that your installed app supports the offer. Do not purchase expecting a referral reward unless the app first accepts your code.

• The friend must sign in with a verified account and apply a valid 12-character invitation code in the app before their first subscription purchase and before any existing subscription purchase history. Merely opening a link, installing the app or later restoring a purchase does not apply a code. An accepted invitation cannot be changed to another inviter.
• Only the friend's first genuine paid Coach Pro subscription in the production store environment qualifies. Trials, renewals, top-ups, sandbox or test purchases, self-referrals, duplicate claims and fraudulent or abusive participation do not qualify. No rating, review or social-media endorsement is required.
• Rewards are held for at least 7 days after the eligible purchase and require a fresh payment verification through RevenueCat before release. They are not guaranteed to arrive exactly on day 7: missing or delayed payment evidence may delay or prevent release. Each eligible friend can produce only one reward for each party.
• The inviter does not need a Pro subscription. Awarded bonus explanations do not expire and can be used without an active Pro subscription. They are separate from purchased credits, do not unlock Pro-only opponents, themes or other features, and are not cash or a discount on the store price.
• A refunded or revoked qualifying purchase causes any unspent associated referral bonus to be removed. Partial refunds without revocation require operator review. This does not restrict your statutory rights or the store's refund process.
• We may withhold or reject ineligible or abusive claims. Use our protected support form if you believe an eligibility or reward decision is incorrect. Data used for eligibility, duplicate prevention and rewards is described in the referral privacy section.

See the invitation guide for the steps and availability notice. Participation is optional; basic play remains available without a subscription.

5. Availability and changes

Some features need internet access, an authentic supported build, a valid entitlement and available specialist or explanation providers. We may maintain, improve, replace or discontinue features, but will not intentionally remove paid access without providing any remedy required by applicable law. Saved local data can become incompatible with a later format; where practical, the app preserves unsupported records without presenting invented results.

6. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains local game data, anonymous access, remote coaching requests, store billing, retention and user controls. You are responsible for avoiding personal or confidential information in any text or game context you choose to share.

7. Suspension and termination

We may suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the service, investigate abuse, comply with law or address a serious breach. You may stop using the app at any time. Store cancellation and local-data deletion are separate actions. Clauses that by their nature should continue after termination remain effective.

8. Warranty and liability

The service is provided with reasonable care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, it is otherwise provided "as available" and without promises about uninterrupted availability, game outcomes or improvement in competitive results. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded, including mandatory consumer protections or liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable.

To the extent permitted by law, Computer Force is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss caused by third-party store or network outages, or decisions made in reliance on coaching text. Any permitted aggregate liability will not exceed the amount you paid for the service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

9. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the app through Apple, you and Computer Force acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Computer Force, not Apple. Computer Force, not Apple, is responsible for the app, its content, maintenance, support, warranties and claims concerning the app, including product-liability, regulatory, consumer-protection, privacy and intellectual-property claims.

Your licence is limited to Apple-branded products you own or control and use permitted by the Apple Media Services usage rules, including applicable Family Sharing or volume-purchase rules. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on a United States Government prohibited or restricted-party list. You must comply with applicable third-party terms. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

10. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Romanian law. If you are a consumer, this does not remove mandatory protections or courts available under the law of your habitual residence. Please use the Support page first so we can try to resolve the issue.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for legal, security or product reasons. The effective date identifies the current version. Material changes will be presented through the website, app or store listing as appropriate. Continued use after an effective update constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
