Terms

Effective as of September 16, 2026

These terms apply when you buy, install, or use Notch Arcade. Danilo Vilhena provides Notch Arcade and its online services.

What you buy

You buy a personal license to use Notch Arcade. You do not buy ownership of the app, code, artwork, brand, or services.

The purchase is a one-time payment. There is no subscription for the purchased app.

Your license

Your license is limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable. You can use it on the Macs that you personally use.

You can use Notch Arcade for personal or work purposes. One purchase covers one person.

Age

You must be at least 13 to use Notch Arcade. If you are under 18, use Notch Arcade only with permission from a parent or guardian, and only a parent or guardian can buy it.

Updates and future games

Your purchase includes updates and future games that we release as part of Notch Arcade.

We can change features, game rules, system requirements, and release schedules. We do not promise permanent support for each macOS version.

License checks and online services

You need a valid license after onboarding. The app can work offline for 90 days after its last successful license check.

Leaderboards, cloud sync, recovery, downloads, and updates need online services. These services can change, pause, or end.

We will use reasonable care when we make a material service change. Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply.

Rules of use

You must not share a license key, resell the app, distribute copies, or present our work as your own.

You must not bypass security, disrupt services, submit false scores, automate play, harass players, or use an unlawful public name.

You must not reverse engineer or modify the app where applicable law permits this restriction.

Profiles and scores

You keep ownership of content that you provide. You give us permission to host, process, and display it for the service.

This permission covers your player name, generated avatar, scores, ranks, game records, reports, and requested share images.

We can remove names, profiles, or scores that break these terms, harm the service, or appear false.

Payments and taxes

Polar is the Merchant of Record and legal seller for your purchase. Polar processes the payment, applicable taxes, receipt, refund, and payment dispute.

The checkout shows the final price, currency, and applicable taxes before you pay.

You authorize Polar and us to process the purchase data needed to complete the sale and issue your license.

Refunds

Email danilo@notcharcade.com within 14 days of purchase to request a full refund.

A refund deactivates your license and removes your leaderboard scores. Related cloud game data is deleted within 30 days.

This refund policy does not limit rights that consumer law gives you.

Your responsibilities

Keep your license key secure. Keep local backups when your saved game data matters to you.

You are responsible for your Mac, your public profile, and activity that uses your license or device credential.

No warranty

Notch Arcade is provided as is and as available, to the extent allowed by law.

We do not promise that the app or online services will always be available, error-free, secure, or suitable for every purpose.

These terms do not exclude warranties or rights that applicable law does not let us exclude.

Liability

To the extent allowed by law, our total liability is limited to the amount that you paid for Notch Arcade.

We are not liable for indirect loss, lost progress, lost data, lost profit, ranking changes, or service outages.

This limit does not apply when the law does not allow it.

Suspension and termination

We can suspend online features for cheating, abuse, security threats, chargebacks, invalid keys, or a material breach of these terms.

A refund or valid termination can deactivate the license. Terms about ownership, liability, and disputes continue after termination.

Law and disputes

Brazilian law governs these terms. Courts in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil have jurisdiction unless mandatory consumer law permits another forum.

Please email us first. We will try to resolve the matter in a direct and fair way.

Changes and contact

We can update these terms for future purchases and online services. A change does not remove rights from an earlier purchase.

For questions, refunds, or support, email danilo@notcharcade.com.
