Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and DND Technologies, LLC. They govern your use of the Kartaz apps and of our website, kartaz.app. By downloading, installing, or using the apps, or by using the website, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the apps or the website.

1. Who we are, and what these Terms cover

Kartaz is made by DND Technologies, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("we", "us", "our"). You can reach a person at admin@dndtechnologies.dev.

These Terms cover all four things we publish:

• KartazTV for Apple TV and iPad, the app that hosts the table.
• Kartaz for iPhone, the free app a player uses as their seat.
• Kartaz for Android, the same free player app on a phone from Google Play.
• kartaz.app, this website.

We call the three apps "the apps" below. How the apps and this website handle information is described separately, in our Privacy Policy.

2. Who may accept these Terms, and who may buy

The person who installs the host app on the Apple TV or iPad, or who makes a purchase, must be 18 or the age of majority where they live, whichever is older, and accepts these Terms for their household. If you are not that age, do not install the host app and do not buy anything.

Younger family members are welcome at the table. A minor plays with a parent or guardian's permission, under that adult's acceptance of these Terms and that adult's supervision. Kartaz is a general-audience family product: it is not a service directed at children, and a household may have players of any age in the same room. How a child's name, photo and voice are handled, and why none of it reaches us, is set out in our Privacy Policy.

3. Apple and Google

KartazTV and Kartaz for iPhone are licensed, not sold, and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Apple's standard EULA) applies to them alongside these Terms. These Terms supplement it. Where the two conflict about an Apple app, Apple's standard EULA governs. Apple requires us to tell you the following, and we do:

• These Terms are between you and DND Technologies, LLC only. Apple is not a party to them and is not responsible for the apps or their content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the apps.
• If an app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price you paid for it. To the maximum extent permitted by law, that is the whole of Apple's warranty obligation, and Apple has no other.
• DND Technologies, LLC, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim about the apps, including product-liability claims, a claim that an app fails to meet a legal requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection or privacy law.
• DND Technologies, LLC, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that an app infringes that party's intellectual-property rights.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and that you are not on any U.S. Government prohibited-parties list.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Kartaz for Android is distributed through Google Play, and your use of it is also subject to Google Play's Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms. The Android app is free and sells nothing, so there is nothing on it for Google to refund.

4. Price, purchases, and refunds

Your first game night is free. It is the real product for one night, not a trimmed demo, and every game can be played in it. It is one free night, once: when it has been used, it is used.

After that, one purchase on the host unlocks all seven games, once, forever. It is currently $9.99 in the United States; local pricing may vary. There is no subscription, there are no ads, and there is nothing to buy inside a game. The phone apps are free and sell nothing at all, on either iPhone or Android: a player never pays to take a seat.

• Apple handles the billing. The purchase is made through the App Store under your Apple ID. We never receive your name, card number, or billing details.
• Family Sharing. The purchase is a non-consumable and is enabled for Family Sharing, so everyone in your Apple Family Sharing group can host without buying it again.
• If you bought a Kartaz game before version 2.0. Kartaz used to sell its games one at a time. Individual game purchases sold before version 2.0, and the earlier Kartaz Complete bundle, now unlock all seven current games at no further cost. That is what the app does with your receipt, automatically, the first time it checks: a purchase made under the old price list ends up owning more, never less.
• A game that was retired. One game that Kartaz used to sell on its own was retired in version 2.0. It is no longer offered and can no longer be played. If you had bought it, your purchase now unlocks all seven current games instead, and the app explains that once.
• Restore. On a new or reset device, sign in with the same Apple ID and use Restore Purchases, which is on every purchase screen and in the host's Settings, under Account.
• Refunds. Apple is the seller of record, so refund requests for a purchase made through the App Store are handled by Apple under its own policies, not by us. We cannot issue or refuse one. If something has gone wrong, write to us anyway and we will help where we can.

5. A game night keeps score in points only

Kartaz has no currency of any kind, real or virtual. Nothing of value can be won, lost, bought, redeemed, cashed out, or exchanged, inside a game or outside it. There are no prizes. A game night keeps score in points only, the way a board game does.

In most games first place earns 3 points, second earns 2 and third earns 1. A round of Lotería is a single short round, so it pays 1 point to whoever wins it. The first player to reach the finish line the table picked, 9, 12, or 15 points, wins the night.

6. What you type, photograph, and record

Kartaz asks you to type and, if you want to, to take a photo of yourself or record your voice. All of it stays on your household's own devices and your own Wi-Fi. None of it reaches us, so we need no licence to it and we take none: your name, your photo and your recordings remain yours. Our Privacy Policy describes exactly where each of those travels.

Because the table is shared, everything you enter is shown to the other people in the room. Several screens take free text: your display name, the word a keeper picks in Hangman, the answers you type in Stop!, the name of the table, and a song search. You are responsible for what you type and for what you record, and for keeping it fit for the people at your table, children included. The host controls the table and may remove a player from a game.

That responsibility covers the whole table, not only your own phone: you are responsible for what you and the people at your table type, photograph, and record. The adult who accepted these Terms will cover the losses and the reasonable costs we face because of misuse of the apps at their table, in breach of these Terms or of the law. And what happens between players stays between players: a disagreement at your table is theirs to settle, and you release us from claims arising out of it, to the extent the law allows.

Please also do not:

• copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the apps, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the apps;
• use the apps to break any law, or to harass, abuse, or harm another person;
• interfere with, disrupt, or try to gain unauthorized access to other players' devices or to any network;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice.

7. Music

Music is optional and off until someone turns it on. When the table turns it on, the host plays through the host's own Apple Music account, which that household must already have, under Apple's Media Services terms and Apple's privacy policy. Players can search for a song from their phone; the words they type travel over your Wi-Fi to the host, and the host asks Apple to run the search. With music off, nothing is sent to Apple at all.

8. The internet, availability, and updates

A game night runs over your own Wi-Fi, with no game server of ours in the middle. The phones talk to the host device directly, so playing the games you own does not depend on us being up, and we make no uptime guarantee.

Four things do use the internet, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise: buying or restoring the game, Apple Music if you turn it on, Apple's iCloud sync of your purchase record, and the anonymous usage counts described in our Privacy Policy.

We may update, change, or discontinue features of the apps over time, including retiring a game, as section 4 describes. Updates are delivered through the App Store and Google Play.

9. Our intellectual property, and your feedback

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the apps on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment. Everything else stays ours: the software, the artwork, the card designs, the audio, the tutorials, and the Kartaz name and logo. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of it to you.

You are never obliged to send us an idea, a bug report, or a suggestion. If you do, we may use it to improve Kartaz without owing you payment or attribution, and without it becoming confidential.

10. Disclaimer, and the limit of what we owe

Nothing in this section takes away a right you have that cannot lawfully be taken away. Consumer law in many places gives you guarantees and remedies that a contract may not exclude, limit, or modify. Where that is so, those rights apply in full and the rest of this section is read subject to them.

Subject to that, and to the maximum extent the law allows, the apps and this website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the apps will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every device or network.

Again subject to the first paragraph, and to the maximum extent the law allows, DND Technologies, LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, arising out of or related to the apps or this website. Our total liability for all claims relating to them will not exceed the greater of the total amount you paid us for the apps in the twelve months before the claim arose and 10 US dollars.

11. Disputes

We would rather fix a problem than argue about one, and almost everything that goes wrong is settled by an email. This section is about the rare time that is not enough.

• Talk to us first. Before starting any formal claim, write to admin@dndtechnologies.dev and tell us what happened and what you would like us to do. You and we then try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days from that email.
• Individual claims only. To the fullest extent the law permits, you and we each bring a claim individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. You and we each give up a trial by jury.
• Small claims stay open. Either of us may instead bring a claim in a small-claims court, at any time.
• One year to bring a claim. To the extent the law allows a contractual time limit, a claim about the apps or this website must be filed within one year of when it arose.
• Your own consumer law comes first. Nothing in this section removes a right that the consumer law of your country or state says cannot be waived, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Where such a rule applies, the items above apply only as far as that law allows.

12. Governing law, and where a dispute is heard

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the apps or the website will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and you and we each agree to that venue.

If you live outside Illinois, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, or your right to bring a claim in the courts of that country where its law gives you that right.

13. General

• Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, that part is limited or removed to the smallest extent needed, and the rest stays in force.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and, for the Apple apps, Apple's standard EULA, are the whole agreement between you and us about the apps and this website.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a term straight away, we have not given it up.
• Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms to anyone else. We may transfer them to a company that takes over this business, on notice to you through the apps or this page, and your rights are unchanged by that.
• Changes to these Terms. We may update them. When we do, we post the new date at the top of this page, and we note a material change here so a returning reader can see what moved. Continuing to use the apps after that means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, stop using them.
• Ending this. You may end these Terms at any time by deleting the apps. They end automatically if you breach them. What survives is what should: sections 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 and this one.

14. Effective date

Effective September 18, 2026. Last updated September 18, 2026. This version replaced the Terms effective July 11, 2026, when Kartaz 2.0 removed the in-game currency the earlier versions had, moved to a single purchase for all seven games, and added the Android player app. There is no material change to note beyond that one yet.
