1. Acceptance
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and ZOBUT GAMES TEKNOLOJI LIMITED SIRKETI ("Tonbuk", "we", "us") for the Tonbuk mobile app and tonbuk.com (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Tonbuk, or older if the law of your country requires it. If you are under 18, you need the permission of a parent or guardian, who accepts these Terms for you and is responsible for your use of the Service, including purchases.
2. The service
Tonbuk offers casual games (XOX, Memory and Block) that you can play against the computer or online against other players, together with friends, chat, game invitations and a daily bonus. Games against the computer are free and do not use lives. Online matches use lives, and some features have daily limits that Tonbuk VIP removes.
We keep improving Tonbuk and may add, change or remove games, features, limits and rewards (for example the daily bonus amounts). Online features need an internet connection.
3. Accounts
- You can sign in with a Google account or play as a guest. A guest account exists only on the device where you created it: if you sign out, uninstall the app or lose the device, the guest account and its progress cannot be recovered. Link it to Google in your profile to keep it.
- One person, one account. Keep your device and your Google account secure; you are responsible for what happens on your account.
- Usernames must be 3 to 16 characters and must not be offensive, misleading or promotional, or imitate another person. We may reset a username that breaks these rules, and you will be asked to choose a new one.
- Guests cannot add friends or send messages.
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings › Delete account.
4. Lives and rewards
- An online match uses one life ("game right") from each player when it starts. Rematches and accepted game invitations are new matches and use one life each.
- A life used for a match is not returned if you leave the match, lose your connection or lose the match.
- You get lives as a welcome gift, from the daily bonus and with Tonbuk VIP.
- Lives and other in-game rewards have no money value. They cannot be sold, transferred, exchanged for money or moved to another account, and they are lost when the account is deleted.
- We may correct balances that changed because of an error, abuse or a refunded payment.
5. Tonbuk VIP
- Tonbuk VIP is an auto-renewing subscription with weekly, monthly and yearly plans, sold through Google Play. While it is active you get unlimited messages, unlimited friend requests and text messages in online matches. Every payment, the first one and each renewal, also adds the number of lives shown for that plan in the app.
- The price and billing period are shown in the app in your local currency before you buy, and the payment is charged to your Google Play account when you confirm.
- The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel it in Google Play › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions, or with "Unsubscribe" in the app's store. After you cancel, VIP stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
- Lives you received stay in your account after the subscription ends; the unlimited features end with it.
- If you switch to another plan, Google Play handles the change and credits the remaining time according to its rules.
- Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy. If a payment is refunded or reversed, we remove the lives given for that payment. If something went wrong with a purchase, write to support@tonbuk.com and we will help.
- Price changes follow Google Play's rules and notices; they never change the price of a period you have already paid for.
- Deleting your account or uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription.
6. Online play and fair play
- Online matches run on our servers, and the server decides moves, timers and results.
- Every move has a time limit. When it runs out, a random move may be played for you; letting the time run out twice in a row, or leaving a match, counts as a loss.
- Do not cheat: no bots, scripts or modified apps, no exploiting bugs, no agreeing with other players to trade wins, and no extra accounts to collect lives or bonuses.
- If we find cheating or abuse, we may cancel results, remove rewards and suspend or ban the accounts involved.
8. Your content
You keep ownership of the usernames, messages and texts you send. You give us a worldwide, free licence to store, transmit and show them inside the Service as far as needed to run it, for example to deliver your messages to your friends and to review reports. This licence ends when the content is deleted, except for copies we must keep under the law.
9. Our rights
The Tonbuk app, its games, design, graphics, characters, avatars, software and the Tonbuk name and logo belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for your own non-commercial entertainment. You may not copy, modify, sell or reverse-engineer the Service, collect data from it automatically, or interfere with our servers.
10. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, abuse the Service, or if the law requires it. We may also stop offering the Service or part of it; if we close it completely, we will try to tell you in the app in advance. You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections 4, 8, 9, 11 and 12 continue to apply after termination.
11. Disclaimers and liability
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We work to keep it running, but we cannot promise that it will always be available, error-free or never interrupted, for example during maintenance or network problems.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence, or your statutory consumer rights.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. Disputes are subject to the courts of Istanbul, without affecting the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence, including your right to apply to consumer arbitration committees and consumer courts in Türkiye.
13. Changes
We may update these Terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we announce important changes in the app. If you keep using the Service after a change, you accept the new Terms.
