Terms of Service

1.About these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Mehmet Can Bil Karamalli ("we", "us"), an independent developer based in Türkiye, about your use of the mobile game Pigeon Wash Mafia ("the game") and this website. By downloading or playing the game you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the game.

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled and is part of these Terms.

2.Children and parents

The game is made for everyone, including children. If you are under 18 (or under the age of majority where you live), you may only play with the permission of a parent or guardian, who should read these Terms with you. Parents and guardians are responsible for their children's use of the game and of the device and store account they use.

3.Your licence to play

We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to download and play the game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment, in line with these Terms and the rules of the store you got it from (the App Store or Google Play).

The game is licensed, not sold. You may not copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the game or any part of it.

4.A free game with optional purchases

The game is free to download and play. iOS 1.1 and later include optional rewarded ads. iOS 1.3 adds optional in-app purchases: the VIP Pass (a one-time purchase, not a subscription) and Favor packs. You never have to buy anything to play.

Purchases are made and charged through your Apple account under Apple's terms, and refunds are handled by Apple. The VIP Pass and the one-time starter pack can be restored with Restore purchases. Favor packs are used up as you spend them and cannot be restored if your progress is lost. Favors and the rewards of a purchase are virtual items, as described below.

iOS 1.1 adds optional rewarded ads (ads you choose to watch for an in-game reward). The current data practices are explained in our Privacy Policy.

5.In-game money, items and progress

The game contains virtual items such as in-game money, Favors, Gold Feathers, upgrades, pigeons and Boss Pigeon outfits. They exist only inside the game, have no real-world monetary value, cannot be exchanged for real money, goods or services, and cannot be sold or transferred to other people. They are part of your licence to play, not your property.

Your progress is saved only on your device; this version has no accounts and no cloud saves. If you delete the game, reset or lose your device, or clear the game's data, your progress is lost and we cannot restore it. Moving to a new phone through your phone's own backup or transfer may bring your progress along, but we can't guarantee it.

We may change, rebalance or remove game content and virtual items ; for example to fix bugs, improve the game or keep it fair. We try to do this in a way that respects the progress you have made.

6.Reminders

If you allow notifications, the game can remind you on your device (for example, when your daily gift is ready). Reminders are optional: you can choose which ones you get, or turn them off, in the game's Settings › Notifications or in your phone's settings.

7.Play fair

When using the game, you agree not to:

• cheat, use bots, or use modified versions of the game or tools that change how it works (such as save editors, speed hacks or memory editors);
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or try to get the game's source code, except where the law expressly allows it;
• exploit bugs to your advantage ; please tell us about them instead;
• use the game for any commercial purpose or in a way that breaks the law.

If you break these rules, we may limit or end your access to the game.

8.Our content

The game and this website ; including the name Pigeon Wash Mafia (Güvercin Yıkama Mafyası), the characters, art, models, music, sounds, text and code ; belong to us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the licence above, these Terms do not give you any rights to them.

You are welcome to share screenshots and videos of the game for non-commercial purposes (for example, on social media or in streams), as long as you don't suggest that we endorse you.

The game is a light-hearted comedy about pigeons. Any resemblance of characters, businesses or places to real people, companies or places is coincidental.

9.Apple, Google and the app stores

You get the game through the App Store or Google Play, and your use of those stores is subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for the stores or their availability.

If you downloaded the game from Apple's App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple or Google; Apple and Google are not responsible for the game or its support, and they have no obligation to provide maintenance or support. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and can enforce them against you.

10.Updates and availability

We may update the game from time to time to add content, fix bugs or meet store requirements. Some updates may be needed to keep playing. We may also suspend or stop offering the game, or parts of it, at any time ; we will try to give notice in advance where we reasonably can.

11.Disclaimers

We work hard to make the game fun and reliable, but it is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we do not promise that the game will be uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device, or that progress will never be lost.

Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract ; including your rights under the Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and the consumer laws of the country where you live.

12.Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for the loss of game progress or virtual items. Our total liability to you for any claim related to the game is limited to the amount you paid for in-app purchases in the game in the previous 12 months or, if higher, the minimum amount required by law.

This does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud, intent or gross negligence.

13.Ending these Terms

You can stop using the game at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your licence if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms. The sections on in-game items, our content, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law continue to apply after these Terms end.

14.Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. If you have a problem, please contact us first at carettax@carettax.com ; most issues can be solved quickly.

If you are a consumer in Türkiye, you can also apply to the consumer arbitration committee (tüketici hakem heyeti) or the consumer court where you live, within the limits set by law. If you live in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of that country and can bring a claim in its courts.

15.Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms, for example when the game gets new features or the law changes. We will post the new version on this page with a new "last updated" date and, for important changes, tell you in the game. If you keep playing after the changes take effect, you accept the new Terms.
