Terms of Service & End User License Agreement
Effective 30 April 2026
Contents
1. Acceptance of terms
These Terms of Service and End User License Agreement (collectively, the "Terms") govern your use of Orion: A Word Puzzle Game (the "App"), an iOS-only application provided by Matthysen Holding BV ("we", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the App you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. License grant (EULA)
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on any Apple-branded iOS device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, as permitted by Apple's App Store Terms of Service. The App is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store and is not available on any other platform.
You may not: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except to the extent permitted by applicable law; (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, or sublicense the App; or (d) remove any proprietary notices.
3. Your account
The App uses an anonymous account that is created automatically when you first launch it. We do not collect a name, email, password, or any other personally identifying information. Your gameplay progress and purchases are tied to this anonymous identifier.
You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the App: Profile → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent and immediate.
4. In-app purchases & virtual currency
The App offers in-app purchases ("IAPs") processed by Apple. All IAPs are final and non-refundable except where required by law or by Apple's policies. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
The App contains virtual items, including Dream Dust and Star Dust. Virtual items have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for real currency, and are non-transferable. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any virtual item at any time.
The "Remove Ads" purchase grants ad-free play (Levels interstitial only) for 365 days from the date of purchase. It is a consumable purchase and does not auto-renew. Rewarded ads (e.g. Quickfix) remain available regardless of ad-free status.
5. EU consumer right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the European Union, you normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content under Article 6:230o of the Dutch Civil Code (implementing Directive 2011/83/EU). However, by completing an in-app purchase you expressly request immediate delivery of the digital content (e.g. Dream Dust credited to your balance, Remove Ads activated) and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is lost once delivery has begun. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple as described in Section 4.
6. Advertising
Unless you have an active Remove Ads entitlement, the App displays advertising via Google AdMob. Some ads are rewarded ads that grant in-game currency in exchange for watching. Ad personalisation depends on your App Tracking Transparency choice.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or to other users' anonymous accounts.
- Use cheats, exploits, bots, or automation to manipulate gameplay or currency.
- Reverse engineer or interfere with the App's security.
Violation may result in suspension or termination of your account and forfeiture of virtual items.
8. Intellectual property
The App, including all content, code, graphics, puzzles, trademarks, and design, is owned by Matthysen Holding BV or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license granted in Section 2, no rights are transferred to you.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any breach of these Terms. Upon termination your license to use the App ends and any virtual items associated with your account may be forfeited. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (IP, disclaimers, liability, governing law) will survive.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MATTHYSEN HOLDING BV BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR EUR 50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER MANDATORY APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING DUTCH CONSUMER LAW).
12. Apple-specific terms
You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Matthysen Holding BV only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Scope of license. The license granted is non-transferable and limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
- Maintenance & support. Matthysen Holding BV is solely responsible for any maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance and support services.
- Warranty. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- Product claims. Matthysen Holding BV is responsible for addressing any user or third-party claims relating to the App, including product liability, legal compliance, and consumer protection claims.
- Intellectual property claims. In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights, Matthysen Holding BV (not Apple) is solely responsible for investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of the claim.
- Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, except where local consumer protection laws grant you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings in your country of residence.
14. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted in the App and on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
