Terms of Use

01

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Thinko application ("App") or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you ("User") agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must not access or use the Service. Your continued use of the Service following any modification to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

02

Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. Users in the European Economic Area must be at least 16 years of age to create an authenticated account. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirements.

If you are under the applicable minimum age, you may use the App in Guest Mode, which does not require account creation or the submission of personal data.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

03

Account Registration

You may use the App as a Guest without registering. To access full features including data sync across devices, you may create an account using Google Sign-In, Sign In with Apple, or an email address and password.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account at contact@aroralabs.org

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it updated. AroraLabs reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts found to contain false, inaccurate, or misleading information.

You may only hold one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent access restrictions, subscription limits, or promo code redemption limits is prohibited.

One active session. To protect your account and your subscription, only one device may be signed in to a given account at any time. Signing in on a new device will sign the previous device out automatically. This is a security feature designed to prevent unauthorised access and shared use of paid subscriptions.

04

Subscriptions and In-App Purchases

4.1 — Auto-Renewable Subscriptions

Thinko offers auto-renewable subscription plans that provide access to premium features. Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annual) through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, as applicable.

By purchasing a subscription, you authorise Apple or Google to charge the applicable subscription fee to your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel. Subscription prices are displayed in the App and may vary by region.

4.2 — Free Trial

Where a free trial is offered, you will not be charged during the trial period. At the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan unless cancelled before the trial period ends. Only one free trial is available per Apple ID or Google account.

4.3 — Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your device's subscription management settings:

• iOS: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → Thinko
• Android: Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Thinko

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access to premium features until that date. AroraLabs does not process subscription cancellations directly.

4.4 — Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple or Google. AroraLabs does not issue refunds directly. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple or Google through their respective support channels. We do not offer refunds for unused portions of a subscription period or for account deletions.

4.5 — Price Changes

AroraLabs reserves the right to modify subscription pricing at any time. Price changes will be communicated in advance and will take effect at the next billing cycle after notice is provided, consistent with App Store and Google Play policies.

4.6 — One-Time Purchases

Certain game packs and features are available as one-time in-app purchases. These are non-refundable once redeemed, except as required by applicable law or App Store / Google Play policies.

4.7 — Purchase Verification

All in-app purchases, subscription renewals, restorations, and cancellations are verified server-side with the originating app store (Apple App Store or Google Play) before any benefits are granted, modified, or revoked. If a transaction cannot be verified, has been refunded or charged back, or is otherwise reported by the relevant app store as invalid, the associated entitlements may be revoked. AroraLabs receives and processes automated transaction notifications from the app stores to maintain accurate entitlement state.

4.8 — Manual Entitlement Adjustments

AroraLabs may, at its discretion, grant, modify, or revoke subscription benefits and other in-app entitlements for service-recovery, compliance, anti-abuse, or customer-support reasons. All such adjustments are recorded with timestamp and reason. This provision does not affect your statutory rights under applicable consumer-protection law (including the Australian Consumer Law, the EU Consumer Rights Directive, the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, or any equivalent local law).

05

Free Tier and Advertising

The App is available at no cost on the Free tier, supported by advertisements served by Google AdMob. By using the Free tier, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Advertisements may be displayed during gameplay and between sessions
• AdMob may use your device's advertising identifier (subject to your consent under applicable law and platform privacy settings) for ad personalisation
• On iOS, you will be presented with an App Tracking Transparency prompt before any personalised advertising data is collected

Upgrading to any paid subscription tier, or purchasing the No Ads Forever one-time in-app purchase, removes advertisements entirely.

06

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive the source code of the App
• Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Service
• Use automated scripts, bots, or other means to artificially inflate scores, streaks, or game metrics
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• Transmit any unsolicited or unauthorised advertising, promotional materials, or spam
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its underlying infrastructure
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any component of the Service or any systems or networks connected to it
• Share, transfer, or sell your account or subscription to any third party
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent promo code limits, trial restrictions, or access controls

AroraLabs reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against any person who, in our sole discretion, violates this Section, including without limitation, reporting such conduct to law enforcement authorities.

07

Intellectual Property

The App, including all content, features, functionality, design, text, graphics, logos, icons, sounds, quiz questions, game mechanics, and software, is owned by AroraLabs or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

AroraLabs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the App for your personal, non-commercial purposes, strictly in accordance with these Terms.

You may not:

• Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App or its content
• Use any data mining, robots, or similar data gathering or extraction methods in connection with the App
• Reproduce, republish, or redistribute any quiz content, game content, or App materials without prior written consent from AroraLabs

AI-generated and automated content. Quiz questions and certain other in-app content are produced or curated by automated systems on AroraLabs' behalf, may be reused across users in similar or identical formats, and may be cached and re-served from a shared content pool. AroraLabs and its licensors retain all ownership rights in such content; you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use it within the App in accordance with these Terms. You do not acquire any ownership, derivative, or other right in such content by virtue of answering, sharing, or otherwise interacting with it.

08

User-Generated Content

Where the App permits you to submit feedback, bug reports, feature suggestions, or other content ("User Content"), you grant AroraLabs a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and incorporate such User Content for purposes of operating, improving, and promoting the Service.

You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit any User Content and that such content does not infringe the intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third party.

AroraLabs does not claim ownership of your User Content. You retain all ownership rights in User Content you submit.

09

Third-Party Services

The App integrates with and relies on third-party services including but not limited to Google Firebase, Google AdMob, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and the Anthropic Claude API. Your use of such services is subject to the respective terms and privacy policies of those third parties.

AroraLabs is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, products, or services of any third-party services. Any transactions conducted with third parties are solely between you and the relevant third party.

Links to third-party websites or services within the App are provided for convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement by AroraLabs of such websites or services.

10

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

AroraLabs does not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
• The results obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate or reliable
• Any errors in the Service will be corrected
• The App will be compatible with all devices, operating systems, or software

11

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ARORALABS, ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

• Your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service
• Any conduct or content of any third party on the Service
• Unauthorised access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content
• Any interruption or cessation of the Service

IN NO EVENT SHALL ARORALABS'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO ARORALABS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR AUD $50.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Nothing in this Section excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable consumer-protection law (including the Australian Consumer Law and equivalent statutory protections in your jurisdiction).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain types of damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12

Account Termination and Deletion

12.1 — Termination by You

You may delete your account at any time through the Settings section of the App or by visiting thinko.aroralabs.org/delete-account. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Important: Deleting your account does not automatically cancel any active subscription. You must cancel your subscription separately through your device's subscription management settings before or after deleting your account. No refunds will be issued for unused subscription periods.

12.2 — Termination by AroraLabs

AroraLabs reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion:

• Violates these Terms or any applicable law
• Is harmful to other users, AroraLabs, or third parties
• Involves fraud, abuse, or manipulation of the Service

Upon termination by AroraLabs for cause, no refund of any subscription fees will be provided.

Suspension: Where AroraLabs determines that a temporary measure is appropriate, we may suspend rather than terminate your account. During any period of suspension your account remains registered but access to the Service — including all paid features and active subscription benefits — is restricted. No subscription fee refund or credit will be issued for any period during which your account is suspended for cause. If a suspension is subsequently found to have been issued in error, we will restore access promptly.

12.3 — Effect of Termination

Upon account deletion or termination, your licence to use the App terminates immediately. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

13

Changes to the Service

AroraLabs reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

We may update the App from time to time to introduce new features, fix bugs, or improve performance. Some updates may be required to continue using the Service and will be delivered through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Where a minimum build version is enforced for safety or compatibility reasons, versions below that threshold may be blocked from accessing the Service until the update is installed. Once your installation reaches the required minimum build, any version-block is lifted automatically on your next launch — you do not need to contact AroraLabs. AroraLabs will endeavour to provide reasonable notice before enforcing a mandatory minimum version, except where an immediate enforcement is required to address a critical security or data integrity issue.

14

Modifications to These Terms

AroraLabs reserves the right to revise these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by:

• Posting the updated Terms within the App
• Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• Where appropriate, sending an in-app notification

Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service.

15

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AroraLabs and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, debt, and expenses (including but not limited to solicitor's fees and court costs) arising from or relating to:

• Your use of or access to the Service
• Your violation of any provision of these Terms
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights
• Any content or data you submit to or transmit through the Service
• Your violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation

AroraLabs reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with AroraLabs in asserting any available defences.

16

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. For users in the European Economic Area, mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence apply. For users in Australia, the Australian Consumer Law 2010 (Cth) applies to the extent required.

16.1 — Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to first contact AroraLabs at contact@aroralabs.org and provide a written description of the dispute. Both parties agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute within 30 days of notice. Most concerns can be resolved quickly this way.

16.2 — Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (other than claims for injunctive relief, IP infringement, or consumer protection claims where mandatory court access applies) shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or consolidated proceeding.

This arbitration clause does not apply to users in jurisdictions where arbitration clauses in consumer contracts are not enforceable, including but not limited to users in the EEA and UK, where you retain full access to the courts of your country of residence.

16.3 — Jurisdiction

For matters not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts with competent jurisdiction over AroraLabs's principal place of operation, unless mandatory local law requires otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms limits your rights to seek relief from any consumer protection authority or data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

17

Force Majeure

AroraLabs shall not be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, civil unrest, government action, power outages, internet failures, third-party service outages (including Apple App Store, Google Play, or Firebase), or other events of force majeure.

In such events, AroraLabs's obligations will be suspended for the duration of the force majeure event and AroraLabs will take reasonable steps to resume normal service as soon as practicable.

18

General Provisions

18.1 — Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

18.2 — Waiver

No failure or delay by AroraLabs in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

18.3 — Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and AroraLabs with respect to the Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the parties.

18.4 — Assignment

You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of AroraLabs. AroraLabs may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of assets. These Terms will be binding on successors and assigns.

18.5 — No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms are for the sole benefit of you and AroraLabs and do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

18.6 — App Store Additional Terms

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that: (i) these Terms are between you and AroraLabs only, not with Apple Inc.; (ii) Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App; (iii) Apple is not responsible for any product liability claims; (iv) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. If you downloaded the App from Google Play, Google LLC's standard terms and conditions also apply.
