1.3 Conflicting terms and conditions of the User are explicitly rejected unless we agree to them in writing[cite: 4].

2. Conclusion of Contract & Usage

2.3 Mobile Specifics: You are responsible for ensuring your device meets the system requirements. We warn against "jailbreaking" or "rooting" your device, as this compromises security and may prevent our apps from functioning[cite: 147, 148]. You are responsible for any mobile data charges incurred while playing[cite: 153].
