1. Who these terms are with
These terms are an agreement between you and Sour Apple Games ("we", "us"), the maker of Zominate. They cover the game on every platform, including the web test build and the iOS and Android apps, and the website at zominate.com. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not play.
2. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old to play. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you and is responsible for any purchases you make.
3. Your account
The game creates an account for you when you start. You are responsible for what happens on it. One person per account: do not sell, share, buy or trade accounts. You can delete your account at any time in Settings > Delete account, or by emailing support@zominate.com.
4. Test builds
Zominate is in development. The web test build and any beta are provided to test the game. Features, balance, art and content can change or be removed, the service may be unavailable at times, and test progress may be reset.
5. Catalysts and other virtual items
- Catalysts, Scrap, Fuel, Serum, buildings, zombies and every other in-game item are virtual items. When you earn or buy them, you get a limited, personal, non-transferable license to use them in the game. You do not own them.
- Virtual items have no real-world value. They can not be exchanged for money or anything of value outside the game, and they can not be sold, traded or transferred to another account.
- Purchases are final and non-refundable, except where a refund is required by law or by the policy of the store you bought from.
- We may change how virtual items work, for example their prices in the game or what they can be used for. Virtual items may be lost if your account is deleted or banned, or when the game shuts down.
6. Purchases
In the mobile apps, Catalysts, the Survivor Pass and offers are sold only through Apple's App Store or Google Play in-app purchase. The store handles the payment, its terms apply, and refund requests go to that store. Prices are shown in the store before you buy, and every purchase shows exactly what you get. We do not sell random loot boxes.
7. Code of conduct
Zominate is about raiding bases, not people. You agree not to:
- Pick a display name or Outpost name, or post a chat message, that is hateful, harassing, sexual, threatening, violent toward real people, or that shares anyone's personal information.
- Bully, threaten, impersonate or harass other players, including our team.
- Spam, advertise, or send links to scams, cheats or outside payment.
- Cheat, use bots or modified clients, exploit bugs, or attack or overload our servers.
- Buy, sell or trade accounts or virtual items outside the game.
- Break the law while using the game.
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive players. Content that breaks these rules is removed, and players who post it or abuse others are muted, renamed or banned, without warning when it is serious.
Chat is filtered, and every message has Report and Block options. We review every report within 24 hours. See Support for how to report a player.
8. Moderation and bans
If you break these terms, we may hide your messages, rename you, reset progress gained unfairly, suspend your account or ban it permanently. We decide based on what happened and how serious it was. If you think we got it wrong, email support@zominate.com.
9. Our content
Zominate, its name, logo, art, characters, music and code belong to Sour Apple Games. You may share screenshots and videos of your own play, as long as you do not suggest we endorse you. Everything else needs our written permission.
10. Things you post
You keep any rights you have in your names and messages, but you give us permission to store, show and moderate them as part of running the game.
11. Disclaimers
The game is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will always be available, free of bugs, or that your progress will never be lost.
12. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Sour Apple Games is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost profits or lost virtual items. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50 if you paid nothing. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here limits rights you have by law that can not be waived.
13. Ending these terms
You can stop playing and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access as described in section 8, or if we shut the game down. If we shut it down, we will try to give reasonable notice in the game.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be decided by the state and federal courts located in Texas, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it in your local courts.
15. Apple and Google
These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the game or its support. If you downloaded the game from the App Store, Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
16. Changes
We may update these terms. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page, and for important changes we will tell players in the game. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the new terms.
