Terms of Service

Plain-English summary. 21 Counts is a card-counting trainer for iPhone. Using the app means you agree to these terms. We don't condone illegal gambling. Subscriptions are billed by Apple, and you can cancel any time in iOS Settings.

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you", "your") and the publisher of 21 Counts ("we", "us", "21 Counts"). By downloading, installing, or using the 21 Counts mobile application (the "App"), you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the App.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the App. By using the App, you represent that you meet this requirement. The App teaches a skill associated with casino gambling, which is age-restricted in most jurisdictions.

3. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. This license is governed by Apple's standard End User License Agreement for licensed apps, which is incorporated by reference.

4. Subscriptions and purchases

The App offers a paid "21 Counts Pro" tier through Apple's in-app purchase system. Available products may include monthly subscriptions, yearly subscriptions, and a one-time lifetime purchase.

Auto-renewable subscriptions

One-time purchases

The lifetime tier is a one-time purchase that grants access to Pro features for the lifetime of the App on your Apple Account.

Refunds

Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple. See Apple's refund policy.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

6. No gambling guarantee

The App is an educational and entertainment product. Card counting is a legal mental skill in many jurisdictions, but private casinos may refuse service to suspected counters, and gambling is regulated or prohibited in some places. We make no representation that using the techniques taught will produce winnings, prevent losses, or be lawful in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for your conduct at any gaming establishment and for compliance with local laws.

7. Intellectual property

The App, including its code, content, illustrations (including the Bandit mascot), audio, copy, and design, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you.

8. User-generated content and progress

The App stores your progress (lesson completion, streak, XP, settings) locally on your device. We do not currently operate user accounts or sync progress to a server. Resetting the App or removing it from your device deletes that local data.

9. Third-party services

The App uses third-party services to operate, including:

Your use of these services is also governed by their respective terms.

10. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED 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 FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIVE U.S. DOLLARS.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time and delete it from your device. Sections 7, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Effective date" above will reflect material changes. Continued use of the App after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Thailand, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the App will be resolved exclusively in the courts located in Thailand, except where prohibited by applicable consumer protection law.
