Better Sudoku Pro Terms of Use

Version and effective date: 2026-10-01. These Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Beijing Habitai Technology Co., Ltd (“BetterMac,” “we,” or “us”) for Better Sudoku Pro for iOS (the “App”) and its online services: account, sync, community, and leaderboard. The general BetterMac Terms also apply where they do not conflict with these Terms; for this App, these Terms prevail. By downloading or using the App you accept these Terms. Nothing in them limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.

1. License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. You may not copy, modify, rent, lease, sell, or sublicense the App; reverse engineer it except where law expressly permits; circumvent Pro entitlements or security measures; or use bots, scripts, or other automation to play, collect XP, or affect the leaderboard. The App, its puzzles, lessons, and other content we supply are owned by us or our licensors.

2. Account

Guest play needs no account. An account is optional and available only to people aged 16 or older. You must provide accurate information, keep your sign-in methods secure, use the account yourself, and tell us promptly at support@bettermac.net about unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity under your account. You can delete your account at any time in Me → Settings → Privacy and account deletion; deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription.

3. Your content and the license you grant us

You keep ownership of the posts, puzzles, tutorials, comments, images, and profile information you submit (“Your Content”). You grant BetterMac a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, technically adapt (for example resize, compress, or reformat), display, and distribute Your Content within the App and our services, for the purpose of operating, moderating, and providing the community, including allowing other users to view, play, favorite, and comment on Your Content in the App. We may extend this license to our service providers only as needed to operate the services. The license ends when Your Content or your account is deleted, except for backup copies until they rotate out, content we must keep by law, and content needed to resolve a pending report, appeal, or dispute.

You confirm that you own Your Content or have the rights needed to grant this license, and that it complies with these Terms and the Community Guidelines. Other users' content is licensed to you only for viewing and use within the App.

4. Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. We act on reports within 24 hours by removing objectionable content and, where warranted, suspending or permanently banning the user who posted it. Severe or repeated violations lead to a permanent ban. We may preserve and report content to the competent authorities where the law requires it or where there is a risk to someone's safety.

5. Prohibited content and conduct

You must not post, upload, or send content, or behave in a way, that:

is sexually explicit or pornographic, or sexualizes minors in any way;
harasses, bullies, threatens, intimidates, or stalks anyone;
promotes hatred or discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or similar characteristics;
depicts or encourages graphic violence, self-harm, suicide, or terrorism;
promotes illegal activity, including illegal drugs, weapons, or gambling;
is spam, advertising, a scam, phishing, or contains malicious links or code;
impersonates a person or organization, or misrepresents your affiliation;
discloses anyone's private information, including your own contact details;
infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights, including posting other people's puzzles or tutorials as your own without permission;
manipulates XP, check-ins, rankings, or likes, or abuses reporting or appeals; or
otherwise violates applicable law or the Community Guidelines.

6. Pre-moderation, reporting, blocking, and appeals

Pre-moderation. All posts, comments, images, and profile edits are reviewed by our staff before they become public. We may decline to publish any submission, and review times vary. Approval does not prevent later removal if content is reported or found to violate these Terms.

Reporting. Use the Report action on a post or comment, or email support@bettermac.net. We review reports within 24 hours.

Blocking. You can block another user; blocking limits visibility and interaction between the two accounts.

Appeals. If you disagree with a moderation decision about your content or account, use “Appeal a moderation decision” in the App or email support@bettermac.net with “Appeal” in the subject. We review appeals and tell you the outcome.

7. Subscriptions

Pro is an auto-renewable App Store subscription with monthly and yearly options. The App shows the localized price and billing period before you purchase.
Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or, with a free trial, when the trial ends.
The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
Manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period.
Where offered, the monthly option includes a one-week free trial for eligible accounts, as determined by Apple. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it converts to a paid subscription. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
Apple handles billing and refunds under its terms; request refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com. Deleting the App or your account does not cancel a subscription. Restore Purchases is available in the App; when you are signed in, Pro is linked to your account.

8. XP, achievements, and leaderboard

XP, levels, achievements, and check-ins have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged or transferred. We may correct them if they result from an error or a violation of these Terms. The weekly leaderboard is opt-in.

9. Privacy

See the Better Sudoku Pro Privacy Policy for how we handle personal information.

10. Availability and changes

Online features require an internet connection and may occasionally be unavailable. We may change or discontinue online features; where a change materially affects a paid subscription, we will give reasonable notice. Guest play continues to work offline.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account or access to online features if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect users or the services. Sections 3 (to the extent the license survives), 8, and 12 to 16 survive termination.

12. Apple App Store terms

Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and BetterMac only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). BetterMac, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. These Terms do not provide for usage rules that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions as of the effective date.
Scope of license. The license granted to you is a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
Maintenance and support. BetterMac is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support services for the App, as specified in these Terms or as required under applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
Warranty. BetterMac is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be BetterMac's sole responsibility.
Product claims. BetterMac, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. These Terms do not limit BetterMac's liability to you beyond what is permitted by applicable law.
Intellectual property rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, BetterMac, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.
Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Developer name and address. Direct questions, complaints, or claims about the App to Beijing Habitai Technology Co., Ltd, Room CG05-172, Building 8, Courtyard No.1, Zhongguancun East Road, Haidian District, Beijing, China; support@bettermac.net.
Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App, such as your wireless data service agreement and, if you use them to sign in, the terms of Apple, Google, or Facebook.
Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple's 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.

13. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the App and online services are provided “as is” and “as available,” and Sections 15 and 16 of the general BetterMac Terms apply. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without depriving a consumer of the mandatory protection of the law of their habitual residence. If you are a business user, disputes are submitted to the Beijing Arbitration Commission/Beijing International Arbitration Court (BAC/BIAC) under Section 18.3 of the general Terms. If you are a consumer, that arbitration agreement does not apply to you, and you may bring a claim before the competent courts of the People's Republic of China or the courts of your residence where applicable law allows.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the App, the law, or our services. For material changes we will give notice in the App or on this page before they take effect. If you do not agree, you may stop using the App and delete your account.

16. Language and contact

These Terms are available in Chinese and English. If the versions conflict, the Chinese version controls, except where that would reduce mandatory consumer rights. Contact: Beijing Habitai Technology Co., Ltd, support@bettermac.net.
