1. The App
Lantern Puppets is a free puzzle game in which you fit leather puppet pieces into shadow silhouettes. It is provided for personal, non-commercial entertainment.
2. Licence
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to download and use the App on devices you own or control, in line with these Terms and the rules of the store you got it from (the Apple Media Services Terms and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement, or the Google Play Terms of Service).
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- copy, modify, distribute, sell or rent the App or any part of it,
- reverse engineer, decompile or try to extract the source code, except where the law expressly allows it,
- interfere with the App’s advertising, for example by generating fake ad impressions or clicks,
- use the App for any unlawful purpose.
4. Advertising
The App is free because it shows ads provided by Google AdMob. Ads are provided by third parties, and we are not responsible for their content or for the products and services they promote. How ad data is handled is explained in our Privacy Policy.
5. Coins, boosters and rewards
The App has in-game coins, hints, peeks, extra candles and a daily gift. You earn them by playing or by choosing to watch a rewarded ad. They cannot be bought, have no money value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything outside the App, and cannot be transferred. We may change how they are earned or used. If a rewarded ad fails to load or finish, the reward may not be given.
6. Intellectual property
The App and all of its content, including the game design, characters, artwork, sounds, text and code, belong to Mert Korkmaz or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. “Lantern Puppets” and the MertApp name and logos may not be used without our permission. Third-party components, such as open-source libraries and the Fredoka font, are used under their own licences.
7. Your progress and shared pictures
Your progress, coins and boosters are stored only on your device. We cannot restore it if you delete the App, change devices, reset the game or if your device storage is cleared. Pictures you share from the shadow show are for personal use; you are responsible for where you share them.
8. Updates and availability
We may update, change or remove features of the App, or stop offering it, at any time. Some updates may be needed to keep using the App. We do not promise that the App will always be available or free of errors.
9. Disclaimer
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss of data or progress, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for it, which is zero. This does not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be excluded by law.
11. Apple-specific terms
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store: these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and is not responsible for any product claims, legal compliance claims or intellectual property claims relating to the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple’s only obligation is to refund the purchase price, if any. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
12. Termination
Your licence ends automatically if you break these Terms. You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring claims in your local courts.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
