2. Description of Service
PipForge is a free-to-play daily domino logic puzzle game. Each day, a new puzzle is generated for all users worldwide. The App includes:
- Daily puzzle — one new puzzle per day, same for all players

- Leaderboard — daily ranking of puzzle completion times
- Share — share your puzzle results (such as text/image summaries) with friends
- Hints — free hints per day, additional hints via rewarded ads
- Premium (optional) — one-time in-app purchase to remove interstitial ads and unlock unlimited hints

You are responsible for your device and any activity that occurs through your use of the App.
4. In-App Purchases
4.1 PipForge Premium
The App offers a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase ("PipForge Premium") that:
- Permanently removes interstitial advertisements
- Unlocks unlimited daily hints
- Does not affect rewarded ads (these remain available as opt-in)
4.2 Pricing and Payment
- Prices are set through Apple App Store / Google Play Store and may vary by region
- Payment is processed entirely by Apple/Google — we do not handle payment information

If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you can restore your Premium purchase using the "Restore Purchase" option in Profile Settings.
5. Advertisements
The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob:
