Terms of use for the games
Last updated: 25 September 2026
1. Provider and scope
The provider of the games is Patrick Gruben, Rolandstraße 14, 40476 Düsseldorf, Germany (legal notice). These terms apply to the games Woof Island, Pawshift, Doggo Dive, Don't bark, Runaway Tail, Cardogo and Hundeleben. The terms of the respective store also apply to downloads and purchases; for games from the Apple App Store, Apple's Standard License Agreement (EULA) applies as well.
2. The games
You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the games for private purposes. The games are free to play; depending on the game, some content can be obtained with real money (in-app purchases) or by voluntarily watching ad videos. I keep developing the games; content, prices and features may change. Content you have already bought remains yours.
3. Virtual currencies and items
In-game currencies, dogs, cards, outfits and other game content are virtual. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money, transferred or sold outside the game. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use them in the game.
- Woof Island: bones, gems and tickets
- Doggo Dive: shells
- Runaway Tail: bones and Color Drops
- Cardogo: bones and Gold Tags
- Hundeleben: bones
4. Random rewards
Some games contain random content that can also be obtained with in-game currency sold for real money. The game shows the odds of each tier before purchase or before every pull; the information in the game always applies.
5. Purchases, withdrawal and refunds
Purchases are concluded and billed through the App Store or Google Play. For digital content delivered immediately, the statutory right of withdrawal expires if you expressly agreed to this before the purchase. Refunds follow the rules of the respective store (Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com; Google: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history). If purchased content does not arrive, I will restore it on request.
6. Minors
Minors need parental consent for purchases. I recommend protecting purchases in the device settings (Screen Time or Google Family Link).
7. Fair play
Please do not use manipulation, cheats or automated access to my servers. In case of abuse I may block the cloud backup of an account or remove leaderboard entries – as well as nicknames that insult others.
8. Availability
I aim for smooth operation but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability of online features such as cloud backup or leaderboards. Your progress is always also kept on your device.
9. Liability
I am fully liable for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence I am only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations, limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Statutory warranty rights remain unaffected.
10. Termination
You can stop playing at any time, delete your data (Delete data) and uninstall the app. If I discontinue a game, I will announce it in the game with reasonable notice.
11. Final provisions
German law applies. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of that country. I am neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If a provision is invalid, the rest remains valid. If this English version differs from the German one, the German version prevails.
