- Some features require a compatible device, available storage space, an internet connection, or permission to access the photo library or camera. Users are responsible for any data or communication charges.
Article 5Images Used by Users
- Users may use only images they have taken themselves, images for which they have obtained the necessary permissions, or images they are otherwise legally permitted to use.
- Users shall obtain any consent or permission necessary to ensure that their use of images does not infringe any third party’s copyright, portrait rights, privacy, or other rights.
- Rights in user images remain with the user or the existing rights holder. Agreeing to these Terms does not transfer ownership of or copyright in user images to the Company.

- To delete all data stored on the device, delete the App. The Company cannot remotely delete or restore data stored on the device.
- “Restore Purchases” restores previously purchased usage rights; it does not restore puzzles, images, progress, or completion records.
Article 8Advertisements
- When using the Service for free, users may see banner advertisements, advertisements before creating or resuming a puzzle or during gameplay, or rewarded advertisements for replenishing hints.

- The handling of information related to advertisements is set forth in the Privacy Policy.
Article 9In-App Purchases
- The Service offers non-consumable in-app purchases to remove advertisements, increase the gallery display limit for completed works, increase the storage limit for puzzles in progress, and provide combinations of these features. Prices and details are displayed in the App and on the App Store at the time of purchase.

- Apple’s terms apply to payments, billing, purchase authorization, refunds, and cancellations. Users seeking a refund must use the procedure provided by Apple, except where the Company is required by law to handle the matter directly.
- Pending purchases or purchases awaiting approval are reflected only after Apple confirms that the purchase is valid. If a refund, cancellation, or revocation is confirmed, the corresponding paid features may be suspended or modified.
- Previously purchased usage rights may be restored through “Restore Purchases” if a valid purchase can be confirmed using the same Apple Account.
- The Service’s in-app purchase products do not support Family Sharing.
