Terms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the LiarKing mobile application (the "App") provided by LiarKing Studio Limited ("we", "us", "our").
By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Privacy: Our Privacy Policy explains how we process information. Support: support@liarking.app
1. The service
LiarKing is a free pass-and-play party game intended for friends playing together in person (typically 4-8 players). Each player's phone acts as game master (round timing, topics, and flow) and as an e-card.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| No login | You can play without creating an account. Join with a room code generated in-app. |
| Minimum players | A minimum of 4 players is required before the host can start a game. |
| Free topics | The topic / content library is free to use; no in-app purchases are required to unlock the core library. |
| Function cards | Function-card draws provided by the normal round flow are free and do not require watching an advertisement. |
| Advertising | A bottom banner may appear during parts of gameplay (Google AdMob). Completing a game does not require watching ads. An optional rewarded advertisement may be offered only to earn a heart when you cannot create or join a room; you may dismiss that offer. |
| Regional availability | The App may be available only in certain countries or regions from time to time (for example, phased store rollouts). Availability can change. |
We may update, suspend, or discontinue features, languages, or regional availability.
2. Eligibility
You must be able to enter a binding agreement under applicable law. If you are under the age of digital consent in your country, you may use the App only with permission of a parent or guardian as required by law.
The App is not directed at children under 13 as a children's product. See the Privacy Policy for more detail.
3. Licence to use the App
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial entertainment.
You must not:
- copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or reverse engineer the App except as allowed by mandatory law;
- bypass or interfere with security, store, or advertising integrity measures;
- use the App to harass others, cheat in a way that harms other players' experience in bad faith, or break applicable law;
- generate invalid advertising traffic (for example, forcing yourself or others to click or view ads fraudulently);
- misrepresent the App's availability, pricing, or features in public materials you control.
4. Advertising
The App may use Google AdMob or related advertising services. Ad availability, format, and fill rate can vary by device, region, consent status, and store availability.
4.1 Banner advertisements
A bottom adaptive banner may appear during parts of gameplay. Banner display does not gate completing a round, using the core topic library, or receiving function-card draws provided by the normal round flow. If a banner does not load, gameplay should continue.
4.2 Optional rewarded advertisements for hearts
If you have no hearts when creating or joining a room, the App may offer an optional rewarded advertisement to earn a heart. You may dismiss that prompt. If an advertisement fails to load or is unavailable, the App may grant a heart so you can continue when online, as implemented in the App.
| Rule | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Optional | Watching a rewarded advertisement is not required to finish a normal game session or to use the core topic library. |
| Dismiss / fail | You may close the prompt. If an ad fails to load or is unavailable, the App should avoid soft-locking the core game flow. |
| Reward timing | Heart rewards are granted after a completed rewarded view, or through the App's no-fill fallback where applicable. |
| Third parties | Ad content and some ad-related data processing are controlled by advertising partners under their terms and policies. |
Personalised advertising may require consent or OS permission in some regions. Refusing tracking or certain consents may result in fewer or non-personalised ads, but should not soft-lock the core game loop.
5. No in-app purchases (current model)
Under the current product model, LiarKing does not sell in-app purchases to unlock the core topic library. If we later introduce paid features, we will update these Terms and the store listing before charging.
Purchases of the App itself (if any) or platform services are handled by Apple or Google under their terms.
6. User content and conduct
If the App allows you to enter text (for example nicknames) or otherwise share content with other players in a session:
- you are responsible for that content;
- you must not enter unlawful, infringing, or abusive content;
- we may remove or limit features that are abused.
Because sessions are typically local / ephemeral among friends, we may have limited ability to moderate live table talk, which happens offline between players.
7. Intellectual property
The App, including software, artwork, text, trademarks (including LiarKing and associated branding), and game materials, are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you.
LiarKing is a United Kingdom registered trade mark of LiarKing Studio Limited (UK00004392046, classes 9, 41 and 42). Registration in the UK does not mean the mark is registered worldwide. Third-party marks (including Apple, Google, AdMob) belong to their owners.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that ads will always be available in your region.
Gameplay includes timed study and memory elements (for example, the King reviewing an explanation within a time limit) and in-game fiction such as character flavour. The App is entertainment; we do not warrant any particular outcome of a round.
Consumer law: If you are a consumer in the UK or another jurisdiction with mandatory protections, nothing in these Terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded by law.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (IF ANY), OR (B) GBP 50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.
10. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your misuse of the App or violation of these Terms, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or breach.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, if required by law or platform rules, or if we discontinue the App or a regional release.
Provisions that by nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, and governing law) will survive termination.
12. App Store / Play Store
If you download from Apple App Store or Google Play:
- these Terms are between you and LiarKing Studio Limited, not Apple or Google (except for their own terms);
- Apple and Google may have third-party beneficiary rights as described in their standard terms;
- refunds and billing disputes for platform charges are handled under Apple's or Google's policies.
13. Changes to the Terms
We may modify these Terms. Updated Terms will be posted at https://liarkingstudio.com/terms with a new effective date. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users where appropriate. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, except where mandatory law requires otherwise.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that consumers may have mandatory rights to bring claims in their country of residence.
