Terms of Use (HarmonyOS)

Notice: Please read these Terms before use. Tapping “Agree & continue” confirms your agreement. If you disagree, choose “Disagree & exit”; the App will not enter its principal features.

1. Parties and scope

These Terms are between you and Lu Liang (developer brand: Gentleflow). They apply only to Sweeple for HarmonyOS (“the App”), bundle name tech.gentleflow.sweeple.

2. Agreement and minors

These Terms take effect when you tap “Agree & continue.” If you disagree, exit and do not use the App. A child under 14 should review and use the App with a parent or guardian; other minors should also use it with appropriate guidance. Guardians should help minors maintain healthy play time.

3. Service and price

The App provides minesweeper campaigns, learning guides, Hell Mode, statistics, a brain profile, preferences, and related on-device features. The current HarmonyOS edition contains 300 campaign boards and is fully free, has no ads, and offers no in-app purchase or auto-renewing subscription. Any future paid feature will show its content, price, and rules before launch and request any legally required confirmation.

4. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on a HarmonyOS device you lawfully own or control for personal, non-commercial purposes. The App is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

5. Acceptable use

Except where law expressly permits, you may not copy, rent, sell, redistribute, sublicense, maliciously modify, disrupt, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, bypass security controls, use the App unlawfully, violate another person's rights, compromise a device or network, interfere with another user, or impersonate Gentleflow.

6. Intellectual property

The App's code, interface, artwork, sounds, text, board and level organization, and Sweeple branding belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law. HarmonyOS, AppGallery, and other third-party marks belong to their respective owners.

7. Privacy

The separate HarmonyOS Privacy Policy explains the App's data practices and can be reviewed at first launch and under Settings › About. You can withdraw privacy consent or reset progress under Settings › Data.

8. Gameplay

Sweeple is a casual puzzle based on minesweeper rules. The in-App presentation governs digging, flags, chord opening, hints, mistake budgets, and Hell Mode. Hints assist play but do not promise to complete every board. The App is not medical, psychological, examination, or other professional advice and promises no particular cognitive result.

9. Updates and availability

We may update the App for fixes, compatibility, experience, legal, or platform reasons. Some updates may require newer system or device capabilities. Device faults, system limits, force majeure, maintenance, or platform changes may temporarily interrupt the App. Material changes requiring fresh agreement will be prominently presented and not inferred from silence.

10. Local data and backup

Game data is principally on-device. Use HarmonyOS backup options where appropriate. Uninstalling, clearing data, device failure, a system reset, or backup failure may cause progress, statistics, or current boards to be lost. We operate no game-data server and normally cannot restore your local save.

11. Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided as available without guarantees beyond mandatory law. Nothing excludes liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury, mandatory consumer rights, or liability that law does not permit us to exclude. Any lawfully limitable liability is confined to reasonably foreseeable loss directly caused by our breach.

12. Ending use

You may stop and uninstall at any time. We may discontinue a version or service where legally permitted if these Terms are seriously breached, the App is used unlawfully, or a real safety risk arises. The current App has no account or developer server, so we do not remotely suspend local game records.

13. Huawei and third parties

Huawei is not the provider of the App service under these Terms. AppGallery downloads, updates, Huawei Accounts, and HarmonyOS capabilities may also be governed by the applicable terms between you and Huawei. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding conflict-of-law rules. We will first try to resolve disputes through good-faith discussion; unresolved disputes may be submitted to a court with lawful jurisdiction. Non-waivable consumer protections and dispute rights in your place of residence remain unaffected.
