Terms of use
These terms are an agreement between you and Ormsaltaren Music AB ("Ormsaltaren", "we", "us") about using the ChessMons app, the Family Pass and the website chessmons.com (together, "ChessMons"). Our privacy policy explains how we handle information and is part of these terms. Questions? Email chessmons@ormsaltaren.com.
1. Parents and children
ChessMons is made for children aged 3 to 12. These terms are accepted by a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to them on the child's behalf and is responsible for the child's use of ChessMons and for any purchases made on their device or store account.
2. Your licence to use ChessMons
As long as you follow these terms, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use ChessMons for your family's own non-commercial use. ChessMons needs a compatible device, and some features need an internet connection; you are responsible for both.
3. Free play and the Family Pass
Parts of ChessMons are free. The Family Pass is a paid subscription that opens more content, as described in the app and on our pricing page.
- Buying: the Family Pass is bought through the App Store or Google Play, and payment is handled under their terms.
- Free trial: if a trial is offered, the subscription starts automatically when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before.
- Renewal: the subscription renews automatically for the same period until you cancel. You are charged for each full period at the start.
- Cancelling: turn off renewal in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. You keep the Family Pass until the end of the period you've paid for, then return to the free version.
- Price changes: if the price changes, you will be told in advance and can cancel before the new price applies.
- Refunds: refunds are handled by the store you bought from, under its rules.
None of this limits your rights as a consumer under the law of the country you live in.
4. Coins and accessories
Coins are earned only by playing and are used to unlock accessories in the app. They can't be bought, sold or exchanged, and they have no money value.
5. What you may not do
You may not copy, sell, rent or redistribute ChessMons or its content; reverse engineer or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows this; get around the grown-up gate or any purchase or access control; use bots or scrapers on ChessMons; or use ChessMons in a way that breaks the law or harms others.
6. Our content
ChessMons, including its characters, artwork, music, animations, lessons, text, software and the ChessMons name and logo, is owned by or licensed to Ormsaltaren and protected by copyright and other laws. These terms don't give you any ownership of it. Chess puzzles from public sources are used under their own licences.
7. Feedback
If you send us a report, suggestion or other feedback, you allow us to use it to improve ChessMons without paying you. We will handle any personal information in it under our privacy policy.
8. Other services
ChessMons uses services from other companies, such as the App Store and Google Play. Their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for their services.
9. Changes to ChessMons
We keep improving ChessMons and may add, change or remove content and features. If a change materially reduces what a paid Family Pass includes, you can cancel it.
10. Disclaimer
We work hard to keep ChessMons accurate, safe and working, but we provide it "as is" and can't promise that it will always be available or free of errors. This doesn't affect any rights you have by law that can't be excluded.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Ormsaltaren is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you have paid for ChessMons in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as liability for gross negligence or intent.
12. Ending the agreement
You can stop using ChessMons at any time by deleting the app and cancelling any subscription. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously breach these terms. Sections that by their nature should continue, such as 6, 10, 11 and 14, continue after the agreement ends.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we make important changes, we will tell you in the app or on this website before they apply. If you don't agree, you can stop using ChessMons and cancel your subscription.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by Swedish law. Disputes are settled by Swedish courts, with Stockholm District Court as the first instance. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country you live in and can bring a claim there.
If we can't solve a problem together, consumers in Sweden can turn to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, arn.se).
