Inkleap

Terms of Use

Last updated: 1 October 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Doğancan Çelik ("we", "us", "our"). They govern your use of the mobile game Inkleap: Stick Runner, including its content, virtual currency, virtual items, updates and related services (the "App"), and of this website. By downloading, installing, accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Please read section 18 carefully if you live in the United States: it contains an agreement to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration and a waiver of class actions and jury trials, which you may opt out of.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, or older if your country requires a higher age to use online services without parental consent, to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the App, including any purchases.

3. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to download, install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal and non-commercial entertainment. The App is licensed to you, not sold. We and our licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms. If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, section 19 also applies.

4. Your game data

Your progress, coins, items and settings are stored on your device. The App also keeps a copy of your game statistics on our servers, as described in the Privacy Policy, but this copy cannot be used to restore your progress, coins or items. We therefore cannot recover them if you delete the App, reset your progress, change or lose your device, or if your device's storage fails. Items you buy for good with real money, such as "No Ads" and the "All Skins" bundle, can be restored with "Restore purchases" in the App's settings using the same App Store or Google Play account. Coins bought with real money, and anything earned or obtained with coins, cannot be restored once the data on your device is lost.

5. Virtual currency and virtual items

  1. The App includes an in-game currency ("coins") and virtual items such as characters, ink colors, worlds, upgrades and village content. Coins can be earned by playing and can also be bought with real money.
  2. Coins and virtual items are licensed to you as part of your license to use the App; you do not own them. They have no monetary value, are not money or property, cannot be redeemed for cash or anything of value, and cannot be sold, transferred or exchanged outside the App.
  3. To the extent permitted by law, we may manage, regulate, modify or remove coins and virtual items, and change their prices, availability and effects, for example to balance the game. If we remove content you paid real money for, you keep any rights that mandatory law gives you.
  4. Coins and virtual items obtained through errors, bugs, exploits, cheating or fraud may be corrected or removed.
  5. Coins and virtual items are part of the game experience and do not entitle you to any prize, payment or real-world benefit.

6. Purchases and refunds

All purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, in your local currency and with the payment methods they offer, and are governed by their terms and refund policies. Prices may include taxes as determined by the store. We cannot process refunds ourselves: to request a refund, contact Apple or Google Play. Except as required by applicable law or granted under the store's refund policy, purchases are final, and we do not provide refunds, credits or exchanges for coins or virtual items. Parents and guardians can use the parental controls of their device and store to manage purchases.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or Türkiye: coins and virtual items are digital content supplied immediately after purchase. By completing a purchase you request that supply begins at once and acknowledge that, to the extent permitted by the law of your country, you lose your right of withdrawal once supply has begun. This does not affect refunds granted by Apple or Google under their policies, or your statutory rights if the digital content is defective.

7. Advertising

The App shows advertising provided by third parties, including Google AdMob. Rewarded ads are optional. A reward is granted only when the ad has been watched and the reward is confirmed by the ad provider, and ads may not always be available. The "No Ads" purchase and the "All Skins" bundle remove the interstitial ads shown between runs; rewarded ads remain available if you choose to watch them. We do not control and are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or for the products and services they promote; any dealings with advertisers are solely between you and them. You can report an inappropriate ad through our Support page.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  1. cheat or use bots, scripts, hacks, modified versions of the App or other unauthorized software, or exploit bugs or errors;
  2. copy, modify, translate, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the App, or create derivative works of it, except to the extent that mandatory law expressly permits this;
  3. circumvent, disable or interfere with security features, advertising, purchase verification or other technical measures of the App, or falsify the game statistics it sends to us;
  4. use the App for commercial purposes, or rent, lease, sell or distribute it;
  5. use the App unlawfully, or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the App or our service providers' services;
  6. remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices.

If you breach this section, we may take reasonable measures, including correcting or removing coins, virtual items and game statistics, or terminating your license.

9. Intellectual property

The App and all of its content, including its code, design, graphics, characters, music, sounds and texts, and all related intellectual property rights, belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law. Inkleap and the related names and logos are used by us as trademarks, and you may not use them without our prior written permission. Third-party components are used under their own licenses; for example, the Caveat Brush font is used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (see "Licenses" in the App's settings). If you send us feedback or ideas, you grant us a free, worldwide, perpetual and irrevocable license to use them without any obligation to you.

10. Third-party services

The App uses third-party services, such as those of Apple, Google and Adapty, which are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, and their availability may affect the App. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only.

11. Changes and availability

We may update, change, suspend or discontinue the App or any part of it, including its features, modes, events and content, and we may require you to install updates to keep using it. Events and time-limited content are available only while they run. We do not guarantee that the App will always be available, work without errors or be compatible with every device or operating system version. If we discontinue the App, we will try to give reasonable notice where practicable, and you keep any rights that mandatory law gives you.

12. Health and safety

Photosensitivity warning: a small percentage of people may experience seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights or patterns, including those in video games, even without any history of epilepsy. If you or your child experience symptoms such as dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, disorientation or convulsions while playing, stop immediately and consult a doctor. Take regular breaks. Never play while driving, while walking in traffic or in any other situation that requires your full attention.

13. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms affects the statutory rights you have as a consumer, including your rights if digital content you paid for is defective.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, virtual items or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with the App or these Terms, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages; and (b) our total liability for all claims arising out of or in connection with the App or these Terms is limited to the greater of (i) the total amount you paid for in-app purchases in the App during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim and (ii) 50 US dollars or its equivalent in your local currency.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intent or gross negligence, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or of our failure to use reasonable care and skill, and the limitations above apply only to the extent permitted by the law of your country of residence.

15. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, damages and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the App. This section does not apply to consumers where the law does not permit such an obligation.

16. Termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms, or if we are required to do so by law. Sections which by their nature should survive termination, including sections 5, 9 and 13 to 21, survive it.

17. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the App, are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to the following, the courts and enforcement offices of İstanbul have jurisdiction:

  1. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of the country where you habitually reside, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
  2. If you are a consumer in Türkiye, you may also apply to the consumer arbitration committees (tüketici hakem heyetleri) or consumer courts competent under Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection, within the monetary limits set by that law.
  3. If you reside in the United States, section 18 applies.

Before starting any proceedings, please contact us at dogancannncelik@gmail.com so that we can try to resolve the matter informally.

18. Arbitration for users in the United States

This section applies only if you reside in the United States.

  1. Informal resolution. Before starting arbitration or a court proceeding, you and we agree to try to resolve any dispute informally for 60 days after one of us sends the other a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought. Send your notice to dogancannncelik@gmail.com.
  2. Binding individual arbitration. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, and not in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration may be conducted through written submissions, by video conference or by telephone; any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you reside, unless we both agree otherwise. The payment of fees is governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.
  3. Exceptions. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and either of us may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop the actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.
  4. No class actions and no jury. You and we may bring claims against each other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person. You and we waive the right to a trial by jury.
  5. Severability. If the class action waiver in (d) is found to be unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim alone must be severed from the arbitration and brought in court, and the rest of this section continues to apply.
  6. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after you first accept these Terms by e-mailing dogancannncelik@gmail.com with your name and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms. If you opt out, or if a claim is not subject to arbitration, section 17 applies.
  7. Changes. If we change this section, the change will not apply to disputes of which we received notice before the change took effect.

19. Additional terms for the Apple App Store

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

  1. These Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
  2. Your license to use the App is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Where these Terms do not provide otherwise, the Apple Standard License Agreement applies.
  3. We are solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App.
  4. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App, if any, to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
  5. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
  6. If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
  7. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or that has been designated by the United States Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  8. Questions, complaints and claims about the App should be sent to us using the contact details in section 22.
  9. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App.
  10. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right, and will be deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

20. Additional terms for Google Play

If you obtained the App from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply to your use of Google Play. Google LLC is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App.

21. General

  1. Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the terms of the store from which you obtained the App, are the entire agreement between you and us about the App.
  2. Changes to these Terms. We may change these Terms for valid reasons, such as changes in the law, in the App or in how we provide it. We will publish the new Terms on this page and update the date at the top. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you in the App or on this website in advance where practicable. If you keep using the App after the change takes effect, you accept the new Terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the App and delete it.
  3. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force.
  4. No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, we do not waive our right to enforce it later.
  5. Transfer. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another person or company, for example if the App is sold; this will not reduce your rights. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms.
  6. Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of third-party services, natural disasters, war or government action.
  7. Language. These Terms are available in English and Turkish. If you reside in Türkiye, the Turkish version prevails; otherwise the English version prevails, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
