Terms of Service

§ 1

Acceptance of Terms

Your continued presence here constitutes acceptance. That has been logged.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Taalay Dev ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of The Answer Is Yes (the "Application"), including any updates, supplemental content, or related services.

By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Application.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Application. By using the Application you represent that you meet this requirement.

§ 2

Licence Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the Application on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.

This licence does not include the right to:

• sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise commercially exploit the Application;
• modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based on the Application or its contents;
• remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks;
• use the Application for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable regulations.

All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the Developer.

§ 3

In-App Purchases

The Application offers a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the full game content (product identifier: io.github.taalaydev.theanswerisyes.fullgame). The following terms govern all purchases:

§ 4

Intellectual Property

The Application and all of its contents — including but not limited to software code, artwork, character designs, dialogue, music, sound effects, narrative text, and visual assets — are the exclusive intellectual property of Taalay Dev and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from any content within the Application without our prior written consent. Fan art and non-commercial creative works that clearly identify themselves as unofficial are generally welcomed; please contact us if in doubt.

§ 5

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Application in any way that:

• violates any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation;
• circumvents or attempts to circumvent any technical protection measures, including purchase verification systems;
• involves distributing modified or cracked versions of the Application;
• facilitates cheating, exploiting, or manipulating the Application's systems in a way that harms other users or the Developer;
• involves recording, streaming, or broadcasting the Application's content in a manner that infringes our intellectual property rights.

Streaming and video content creation (Let's Plays, reviews, commentary) are permitted and encouraged provided they do not reproduce the Application's full narrative content in a way that substitutes for purchasing.

§ 6

Third-Party Platforms and Services

The Application is distributed through and integrates with third-party platforms and services. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which are independent of these Terms.

We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party platforms or services.

§ 7

Disclaimer of Warranties

We do not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that defects will be corrected. We do not warrant that the Application will meet your specific requirements.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you.

§ 8

Limitation of Liability

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Application shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or USD $5.00, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above may not apply to you.

§ 9

Content Advisory

The Answer Is Yes is a narrative game that explores themes of bureaucratic consent, institutional power, and the experience of having your responses reinterpreted without your agreement. It is intended for a mature audience.

The Application does not contain graphic violence, explicit sexual content, or strong language. However, it may provoke feelings of unease, helplessness, or discomfort as part of its intended artistic design. Players who are sensitive to themes of coercion, loss of agency, or institutional manipulation should consider this before playing.

§ 10

Updates and Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Application or any part of it at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this document. Your continued use of the Application following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Application.

Material changes will be communicated through the relevant app store update notes or an in-Application notice.

§ 11

Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. Your licence to use the Application terminates automatically if you fail to comply with any provision of these Terms.

Upon termination, you must cease all use of the Application and delete all copies in your possession. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, and governing law — shall survive.

You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the Application from your devices.

§ 12

Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Developer is established, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Application that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Developer's jurisdiction. Nothing in this clause limits your rights under mandatory consumer protection laws applicable in your country of residence.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

§ 13

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Taalay Dev with respect to the Application and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.

§ 14
