If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not install, access, or play the Game.

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum legal age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to play Domains of Transcendence. If you are between 13 and the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

3. License & Intellectual Property

A. Limited License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable limited license to download, install, and play the Game for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.

B. Ownership & Proprietary Rights

Except for the third-party assets identified in Subsection D below, all rights, titles, and interests in and to the Game—including but not limited to source code, software binaries, algorithms, game design systems, multi-branch tech tree layouts, visual interface designs, UI styling, 2D constellation graphics, educational text cards, trademarks, logos, brand assets, and the overall selection, compilation, and arrangement of media—are owned exclusively by Pedro Marques and protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.

C. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Media Disclosure

Select graphical artwork, background textures, node illustrations, and in-game video sequences within the Game were created, rendered, or enhanced using generative artificial intelligence (AI) software tools under valid commercial licenses.

The inclusion of AI-assisted or AI-generated media does not transfer any rights to players. The compiled game software, visual arrangement, brand assets, and game code remain fully protected. Except as permitted under applicable third-party open licenses (detailed in our Credits & Licenses page), you are expressly prohibited from extracting, downloading, ripping, scraping, or harvesting proprietary image, video, or audio assets, or the Game software package as a whole, for standalone commercial use or redistribution, without prior written consent of the respective rights holders.

D. Third-Party Assets & Open License Permissibility

The Game incorporates certain third-party assets—including audio tracks, sound effects, fonts, icons, and open-source software libraries—that are used and licensed under open or permissive licenses such as Creative Commons, MIT License, Pixabay License, and SIL Open Font License. A complete list of these third-party assets, their creators, and their respective license terms is maintained on our Credits & Legal Notices page.

Nothing in these Terms restricts or limits your right to use, copy, modify, or redistribute such third-party assets independently, provided that your use fully complies with the terms and conditions of their respective third-party licenses (including proper attribution where required).

However, this permission applies strictly to individual third-party assets under their respective licenses and does not grant any right or license to the Game's proprietary source code, software logic, UI/UX layout, logo, trademarks, brand identity, or the overall compiled Game experience.

4. Virtual Currency & In-App Purchases (Quantums)

A. Virtual Goods

The Game offers optional virtual items and virtual currency known as Quantums ("Virtual Goods"). Quantums may be acquired through gameplay achievements or purchased with real money via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store ("Platform Stores").

B. License to Virtual Goods

Quantums and Virtual Goods are licensed, not sold. You acquire a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable right to use Quantums strictly within the Game. Quantums have no real-world monetary value, do not constitute real property or stored value accounts, and cannot be redeemed for fiat money or monetary compensation from us.

C. Finality of Purchases & Refunds

All In-App Purchases of Quantums are final and non-refundable, except as expressly required by applicable consumer law or the refund policies of Google Play / Apple App Store. All payment processing is handled directly by the Platform Stores; we do not collect or store credit card details.

5. Game Progress & Save Data

  • Local Save Data: Primary gameplay state and progress are saved locally on your device using encrypted data stores (SaveEncryption). You are responsible for maintaining your device and backups.
  • Cloud Save & Sync: If cloud synchronization features are enabled, your encrypted save state is backed up to cloud servers. We do not guarantee uninterrupted cloud availability or zero data loss resulting from hardware failure, operating system updates, or uninstallation.

6. Prohibited Conduct & Anti-Cheat

You agree not to engage in any of the following restricted actions:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or extract source code from the Game binaries.
  • Extract, download, rip, scrape, or harvest proprietary image, video, or audio assets, or compiled game binaries, for standalone commercial redistribution or for training machine learning / generative AI models (without prejudice to rights granted under third-party open licenses for specific third-party assets listed in our Credits & Licenses page).
  • Use unauthorized third-party software, memory editors, cheats, hacks, or automated scripts ("bots") to inject virtual currencies or manipulate game speeds.
