Terms of Service
These terms apply when you play FishBite on the web (fishbite.io) or in the iOS and Android apps. FishBite is made by Flyweight Development Oy, Finland ("we"). By playing, you agree to them. How we handle your data is in the Privacy Policy.
The game
FishBite is free to play, online with others or offline against computer fish. We keep improving it, so the game changes over time: species, rules and features may be added, changed or removed. We try to keep it running smoothly, but we cannot promise it is always available or free of bugs.
Accounts
You can play without an account. If you sign in with Apple or Google, keep your sign-in to yourself; you are responsible for what happens with your account. You can delete it in the game at any time.
Names
You pick your name from our lists of first names, nicknames, sea animals, words and emoji; nobody types a name. If a name or combination still turns out to be hurtful, we may take it off the lists, and players with it get a new one.
Play fair, be decent
FishBite is meant to be played by people, with the game as we ship it. You agree not to:
- play with bots, scripts, macros or other automation, or let a program play for you;
- use modified, unofficial or third-party clients, or tools that change, read or add to the game while it runs;
- intercept, change, forge or replay what the game sends, or talk to our servers other than through the game;
- exploit bugs or glitches to get ahead, instead of telling us about them;
- get onto the high score lists other than by playing, for example with several accounts that feed each other;
- try to get into the game's servers, systems or other players' accounts, or to get around its limits, safeguards or bans;
- overload, flood or disrupt the game or its servers, or help anyone else do any of this;
- copy, decompile or take apart the game to do any of the above;
- harass other players, or use the game for anything unlawful.
If you do, we may remove your scores and friends, suspend or close your account (a purchase does not change this), or block your device or connection, without notice when the harm calls for it. Attacks on our servers or other players may be reported to the authorities.
Found a security hole? Please tell us at info@flyweight.dev instead of using it. We are grateful for reports made in good faith, and will not act against you for them.
Purchases
"Remove ads" is a one-time purchase that turns ads off. Bought in an app store, it belongs to that store account and can be restored there; with a FishBite account it also applies wherever you sign in. Bought on the web, it is tied to your FishBite account. Purchases have no cash value and cannot be transferred or sold.
On the web: our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns. Web purchases are also subject to Paddle's Buyer Terms.
In the apps: purchases are made through the App Store or Google Play and are subject to Apple's or Google's terms.
Refunds
Bought on the web: you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of buying, for any reason. Find your order and request the refund at paddle.net (using the email address you paid with), or write to us at info@flyweight.dev and we will arrange it with Paddle. After 14 days we refund where the law requires it, for example if the purchase did not work.
Bought in the apps: only Apple or Google can refund App Store and Google Play purchases, under their own policies: reportaproblem.apple.com or Google Play refunds.
A refunded purchase is turned off again, so ads come back. Your account and everything else stay as they are.
Ads
The free game may show ads between games. Their content comes from advertising partners, not from us.
What is ours
The game, its art, code, names and logo belong to Flyweight Development Oy. You may play it and share screenshots and videos of it, but not copy, sell or redistribute the game itself.
The lists of first names are built from public name statistics: the US Social Security Administration, Statistics Sweden (SCB), Statistics Norway (SSB) and the Finnish Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV), the last three under the CC BY 4.0 licence, Statistics Iceland and Statistics Denmark.
Liability
The game is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost progress or data, or for interruptions. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by agreement.
Changes and ending
We may change these terms; we will update the date above and tell you in the game when a change matters. You can stop playing at any time. We may end the service, in which case we will give reasonable notice.
Law
Finnish law and the courts of Finland apply. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the consumer law where you live and can also take a dispute to the courts there.
