Effective date: August 21, 2026
Last updated: August 21, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the iOS game M4M4 Merge Numbers Puzzle (the “App”). Please read them before downloading or using the App.

1. Provider and contact

The App is provided by:

Max Anton Schneider
c/o MDC Management #1582
Welserstraße 3
87463 Dietmannsried
Germany

Email: info@maxantonschneider.com

In these Terms, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Max Anton Schneider. “You” refers to the person using the App.

2. Relationship with Apple and Apple’s Standard EULA

The App is distributed through Apple’s App Store. Apps made available through the App Store are licensed, not sold. Your license to use the App is governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple Standard EULA”) and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

These Terms supplement the Apple Standard EULA and describe additional conditions relating to the App’s gameplay, advertising, in-app purchase, Game Center features, support, and consumer rights. They do not replace Apple’s Standard EULA. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA, Apple’s applicable usage rules, or mandatory law, the Apple terms or mandatory law prevail to the extent of the conflict.

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content, except for services provided independently by Apple.

3. Acceptance and eligibility

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App and remove it from your device.

You must have the legal capacity required to enter into these Terms. If you are below the age at which you can enter into a binding agreement in your country, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms and supervise your use of the App.

The App is a general-audience puzzle game and is not offered in Apple’s Kids Category.

4. License and permitted use

Subject to these Terms and the Apple Standard EULA, you receive a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by Apple’s applicable usage rules. Access through Family Sharing or volume purchasing is available only to the extent permitted and configured by Apple.

The App is intended for personal, non-commercial entertainment. No ownership right in the App, its software, visual design, sounds, text, game systems, or other content is transferred to you.

Except where applicable law or an applicable open-source license expressly permits it, you may not copy, distribute, sublicense, sell, rent, lease, publicly make available, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, attempt to derive source code from, or create derivative works of the App or any part of it.

5. The game

M4M4 Merge Numbers Puzzle is a single-player number puzzle. The core game does not require a user account. Game progress and settings are primarily stored locally on your device.

The App may include:

• local scores, game progress, settings, and statistics;
• optional Apple Game Center authentication and a global high-score leaderboard;
• banner and interstitial advertising;
• an optional rewarded ad that can grant one reshuffle lifeline per run; and
• a one-time, non-consumable Remove Ads in-app purchase.

Game rules, balancing, scoring, tile behavior, boosters, advertising frequency, and other features may be adjusted in future updates. Changes will not remove mandatory statutory rights or retroactively change a completed purchase.

6. Advertising

The free version of the App is financed in part through advertising provided by Google AdMob and participating advertising providers.

The App may show:

• a banner during active gameplay;
• occasional interstitial ads after a completed run when Play Again is selected; and
• an optional rewarded ad at game over, when available, in exchange for one reshuffle lifeline during that run.

The availability, content, timing, and technical delivery of an individual ad can depend on your region, network connection, device, consent choices, inventory, and the relevant advertising provider. We do not guarantee that an ad or rewarded opportunity will always be available.

A reshuffle connected to a rewarded ad is granted only after the advertising SDK reports that the reward requirements have been completed. Closing, skipping, or failing to load an ad may result in no reward. Gameplay and Play Again remain available when an ad cannot be shown.

Third-party advertisers are responsible for the products, services, and claims contained in their ads. If an ad offers a reporting option, you may use it to report inappropriate content. You may also contact us with sufficient details to investigate an advertising issue.

Advertising-related data processing and privacy choices are explained in the Privacy Policy.

7. Remove Ads in-app purchase

7.1 Product

The App offers Remove Ads as a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase. It is not a subscription and does not renew automatically.

The current price and any applicable taxes are displayed by Apple in the App Store purchase interface before you confirm the transaction. Prices and currencies may differ by storefront. The price shown by Apple at the time of purchase controls.

When the purchase entitlement is active:

• banner ads are disabled;
• interstitial ads are disabled; and
• the once-per-run reshuffle lifeline remains available without watching a rewarded ad.

Remove Ads does not purchase additional scores, guaranteed leaderboard placement, future games, or services outside this App.

7.2 Billing and purchase processing

Purchases are processed by Apple through your Apple Account and are subject to Apple’s applicable purchasing terms. We do not receive your full payment-card or bank-account details. RevenueCat is used to validate the transaction and maintain the App’s purchase entitlement.

The entitlement is associated with the purchasing Apple Account and the App Store records available to Apple. You can use Restore Purchases in the App’s pause/settings screen to request restoration of an eligible purchase. Restoration requires a valid Apple purchase record and may require an internet connection.

Family Sharing applies only if Apple supports it for the product and it is enabled for this in-app purchase. No Family Sharing availability is promised unless it is displayed by Apple.

7.3 Refunds, withdrawal, and statutory rights

Apple handles billing, payment authorization, and refund requests for App Store purchases. You can request a refund through Apple’s available support and purchase-history channels.

Any statutory right of withdrawal, legal guarantee for digital content, refund right, or remedy available under applicable consumer law remains unaffected. Rules concerning the start of digital performance and any effect on a withdrawal period are governed by applicable law and Apple’s purchasing process. Nothing in these Terms excludes a right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If a purchase is reversed, refunded, cancelled, found invalid, or otherwise no longer recognized by Apple, the Remove Ads entitlement may be removed.

8. Apple Game Center

The App optionally uses Apple Game Center to authenticate a player, submit a score, and display a global leaderboard. Game Center is provided by Apple and is subject to Apple’s terms, privacy policy, availability, and account settings.

You can play the core game without successfully authenticating with Game Center. We do not guarantee that a score will be submitted, accepted, retained, synchronized, or displayed at all times. Network errors, Apple service availability, account restrictions, or technical issues may prevent a score from appearing.

We may take reasonable steps to protect leaderboard integrity. Scores that appear to result from manipulation, exploitation, unauthorized software, or other violations may be reported to Apple or removed where technically and legally possible.

9. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

• use the App unlawfully or in violation of third-party rights;
• interfere with, overload, damage, or bypass the App’s security or technical controls;
• manipulate scores, Game Center submissions, purchases, entitlements, ads, rewarded events, or consent signals;
• intentionally generate invalid ad impressions, clicks, or other fraudulent advertising activity;
• use bots, automation, modified clients, cheats, exploits, or unauthorized tools to gain an unfair leaderboard advantage;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your authorization to use an Apple Account;
• extract or use App assets or data for a competing commercial product; or
• encourage or assist another person to do any of the above.

This section does not prohibit activity that applicable law expressly permits despite a contractual restriction, including legally protected interoperability or security research.

10. Updates, compatibility, and availability

We may provide updates that fix errors, maintain compatibility, improve security, rebalance gameplay, or add, change, or remove features. Your ability to use an update may depend on the iOS version, device model, App Store availability, internet access, and acceptance of updated Apple terms.

We aim to keep the App functional but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation. Temporary interruptions may occur because of maintenance, defects, device limitations, network problems, third-party outages, security incidents, or events outside our reasonable control.

We may suspend or discontinue the App or a third-party-dependent feature where reasonably necessary. Where applicable law requires notice, continued access, repair, a refund, or another remedy, we will respect those requirements.

11. Local data and backups

Game progress and settings are primarily stored locally. They may be lost if you delete the App, erase App data, lose or replace your device, restore a device, install an incompatible version, encounter storage corruption, or disable relevant Apple backup functionality.

We do not promise cloud synchronization of game progress. Game Center leaderboard scores and the Remove Ads entitlement are separate from the locally saved active game and remain subject to Apple’s and RevenueCat’s systems.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate device and Apple Account security and any backups you choose to use.

12. Intellectual property

The App and its original software, design, graphics, sounds, text, branding, game mechanics as expressed in the App, and other content are owned by us or licensed to us and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Apple, App Store, iPhone, iOS, and Game Center are trademarks or services of Apple Inc. Google AdMob is a service of Google LLC. RevenueCat is a service of RevenueCat, Inc. Their names and marks belong to their respective owners. No affiliation or endorsement is implied beyond the integrations described in the App.

If a third party claims that the App or your authorized use of it infringes intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and addressing the claim to the extent required by applicable law.

13. Third-party services and terms

The App relies on services provided by Apple, Google, RevenueCat, and their respective service providers. Your use of those services may be governed by additional third-party terms and privacy policies. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App, including the Apple Media Services Terms and conditions governing your internet or mobile-data connection.

We do not control independent third-party services and cannot guarantee their uninterrupted availability. This does not limit our responsibility where applicable law makes us responsible for a third party used to perform our contractual obligations.

14. Maintenance, support, conformity, and warranties

We, not Apple, are responsible for maintenance and support for the App to the extent stated in these Terms or required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.

We will provide the App with the level of care and conformity required by applicable law. Consumers may have mandatory legal guarantees and remedies for defective digital content, including rights to repair, replacement, price reduction, termination, or reimbursement where the legal requirements are met.

Except for mandatory rights and any express promise in these Terms, we do not guarantee that the App will always be available, meet every personal expectation, preserve every local game state, display a particular ad, generate a particular score, or maintain a particular position in Game Center.

Where the Apple Standard EULA applies, warranty claims involving Apple are handled according to that EULA. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for this third-party App. We remain responsible for claims that applicable law assigns to us.

15. Liability

We are liable without limitation:

• for intent and gross negligence;
• for injury to life, body, or health caused intentionally or negligently;
• under applicable product-liability law;
• where we have fraudulently concealed a defect or expressly guaranteed a characteristic; and
• in other cases where liability cannot legally be limited.

For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation whose performance is necessary for the proper execution of the agreement and on which you may ordinarily rely. In that case, liability is limited to the damage that was typical and reasonably foreseeable when the agreement was formed.

Subject to the preceding paragraphs and to mandatory consumer law, liability for slight negligence is excluded. These limitations also apply to our legal representatives, agents, employees, and service providers where legally permissible.

Nothing in these Terms limits statutory consumer rights, remedies for non-conforming digital content, or liability beyond what applicable law permits.

16. Product and legal claims

We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it to the extent required by applicable law, including product-liability claims, claims that the App does not comply with legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar laws.

This allocation between us and Apple does not restrict any claim or remedy you may have directly against Apple under Apple’s own terms or mandatory law.

17. Privacy

Our processing of personal data in connection with the App is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of the information provided for your use of the App.

Third-party services process data under their own terms and privacy policies as described in the Privacy Policy.

18. Term and termination

These Terms apply while you use the App. You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device.

Your license rights may terminate if you materially violate these Terms or the Apple Standard EULA. Where reasonable and legally required, we will provide notice or an opportunity to remedy the violation before termination. Immediate action may be taken where necessary to prevent fraud, abuse, security harm, unlawful conduct, or material harm to us, Apple, a service provider, or another person.

Termination does not affect provisions that by their nature should continue, including intellectual-property protections, valid payment obligations, liability rules, governing law, and rights or claims accrued before termination. Statutory rights relating to the Remove Ads purchase remain unaffected.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App, service providers, security needs, business practices, or legal requirements.

Material changes will apply prospectively. Where required by law, we will provide reasonable advance notice and request consent before a material change takes effect. Changes will not retroactively reduce rights in a completed purchase unless applicable law permits it and the required procedure is followed.

The current version will be published at the Terms URL linked from the App or its support page. The date at the top identifies the latest revision. If you do not agree to an update, you may stop using the App, subject to any additional rights available under applicable law.

20. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of mandatory protections granted by the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence. You may bring a claim in any court available to you under mandatory consumer-jurisdiction rules.

An exclusive place of jurisdiction in Germany applies only where you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, a special fund under public law, or where another valid statutory basis for such an agreement exists.

Before starting formal proceedings, you may contact us at info@maxantonschneider.com so that we can attempt to resolve the issue. This does not restrict access to courts, authorities, statutory dispute resolution, or other mandatory remedies.

21. Export and legal compliance

You may use the App only in compliance with applicable law and Apple’s export and sanctions rules. In particular, you represent that you are not located in a country subject to an applicable U.S. Government embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not listed on an applicable U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

22. Apple as third-party beneficiary

To the extent these Terms contain obligations relating to your licensed use of the App, you acknowledge that Apple and its subsidiaries are intended third-party beneficiaries and may enforce those provisions against you as permitted by applicable law. No other person is an intended third-party beneficiary unless expressly stated.

23. Severability and no waiver

If a provision of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. For consumers, the invalid provision is replaced only by the applicable statutory rule; no provision is replaced in a way that impermissibly disadvantages the consumer.

A failure or delay in enforcing a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.
