Legal

Terms of Use

These Terms govern your use of Thinko and all related services provided by AroraLabs. By downloading or using the app, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Last Updated: September 7, 2026 Publisher: AroraLabs contact@aroralabs.org

01

The agreement

Plain EnglishBy using Thinko you accept these terms. If you do not, please do not use it.

These Terms are an agreement between you and AroraLabs, based in Australia, covering the Thinko app and thinko.aroralabs.org (the Service). By installing or using it you accept them.

How we handle your data is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

02

Who can use it

Plain EnglishYou need to be 13 or older. Under 18, get a parent or guardian to agree first.

You must be at least 13 to use Thinko. If you are under 18, you may only use it with the agreement of a parent or guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf.

You can play as a guest. An account is optional and only needed to keep your progress across devices.

03

Your account & username

Plain EnglishKeep your login to yourself. Your username is public, so keep it clean.

You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in details to yourself. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access.

Your username is visible to other players. Do not choose one that impersonates someone, is offensive, or infringes another person's rights. We may reclaim or change a username that breaks this, and we may reclaim one that has been unused for a long time.

04

Free tier & advertising

Plain EnglishThe free version shows adverts. Subscribing removes them.

The free version is permanent, not a trial, and is supported by adverts. A paid subscription removes them.

You may not block, obscure or interfere with the advertising, or use a modified build of the app to avoid it.

05

Subscriptions, payments & refunds

Plain EnglishApple and Google take the money and handle refunds. Subscriptions renew until you cancel in the store.
  • Apple and Google take every payment. We never see your card details.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel, at the price shown when you bought.
  • Cancel in your store account settings — only the store can cancel a subscription. You keep the features until the period you have paid for ends.
  • Refunds are handled by the store, under its policy, not by us. We will help where we can.
  • A free trial, where offered, converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. Its length and the price afterwards are shown before you confirm.

Prices may change over time; a change is notified by the store in accordance with its rules before it takes effect.

06

Acceptable use

Plain EnglishPlay fair, be decent, and do not attack the service.

You agree not to:

  • cheat, manipulate scores or leaderboards, or use bots, scripts or modified builds;
  • choose a username or submit content that is offensive, harassing, impersonating or unlawful;
  • get around the advertising, a paywall, or any security or licensing measure;
  • access or try to access another player's account or data;
  • place unreasonable load on our infrastructure, or scrape the Service;
  • resell the Service or provide it commercially to others.

We may remove content, reset scores, or suspend or close an account that breaches this.

07

Content & intellectual property

Plain EnglishThe app and its questions are ours. Anything you submit stays yours, but you let us show it.

Thinko, its design, code, artwork and question content are owned by AroraLabs or our licensors. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you control. You may not copy, resell or reverse-engineer it.

You keep ownership of anything you submit, such as your username. You grant us a licence to store and display it as part of running the Service — no wider than that, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.

08

Availability & termination

Plain EnglishWe may change or pause features. You can leave any time; we can close an account that breaks the rules.

The Service is provided on an as available basis. We may change, suspend or discontinue features, and may set reasonable fair-use limits. If we permanently discontinue a paid feature we will give reasonable notice and stop charging for it, refunding or pro-rating any period you have paid for but cannot use, so far as the store's mechanisms allow.

You can stop using Thinko and delete your account at any time — see the delete account page. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaches these Terms, or where we must by law.

09

Disclaimers & liability

Plain EnglishThinko is a game, not education or medical advice. Your legal consumer rights are untouched.

Thinko is provided as is and is intended for entertainment. It is not education, training, diagnosis or medical advice, and we make no claim that it improves cognitive ability, memory or health. Quiz content is generated automatically and may contain errors.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost progress or scores. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Your consumer rights are untouched. Nothing here excludes or limits any guarantee, warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded — including the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and equivalent rights in other countries.

10

The stores

Plain EnglishApple and Google have their own terms too, and Apple is not responsible for the app.

Your use of the app is also subject to the terms of the store you got it from. For apps obtained through Apple, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies in addition to these Terms, and:

  • this agreement is between you and AroraLabs, not Apple;
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app;
  • Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, or for addressing any claim relating to the app — including product liability, legal compliance and intellectual property;
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Equivalent principles apply to apps obtained through Google Play.

11

Governing law, changes & contact

Plain EnglishAustralian law applies. We will tell you before a material change. Email us first if something is wrong.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and you and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws where you live.

We may update these Terms — for a material change we will give notice in the app or by email before it takes effect, and the date at the top of this page always shows the current version.

Want more detail than this page gives? This document is deliberately short. If you need the specifics — the name of a particular service provider, the exact safeguard used for a transfer, or anything else — email contact@aroralabs.org and we will tell you.
