Terms of use

Last updated: 17 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Fadil Ahmed ("we", "us") about playing Cursed Jar ("the game"). By playing you agree to them. Nothing in them takes away your legal rights as a consumer.

1. Playing

Anyone can play. If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before buying anything; they are responsible for purchases made on their device or account.

2. Coins, creatures and items

• Coins, creatures, upgrades, skins and everything else in the game are part of the game. They have no value outside it and can never be exchanged for money, sold or transferred.
• Coins are earned by playing. The only coins sold are the fixed amount in the one-time Starter pack; there are no coin packs.
• Golden creatures that sometimes drop during a run are a free gameplay bonus and are never sold.
• Your progress is stored on your device. If you delete the game or change phone, progress is lost; purchases can be restored from the store. Settings → Reset progress erases your progress, but purchased items stay unlocked; the Starter pack’s coins and tokens are part of your progress, so they are erased.
• We may rebalance the game (prices in coins, rewards, how features work) and correct mistakes.

3. Purchases

• Purchases (Remove ads, Double coins, the Starter pack and skins) are one-off, are made through Apple’s App Store and follow Apple’s terms. The Shop shows the App Store’s own prices in your currency. Refund requests go to Apple.
• Each purchase gives exactly what is described in the Shop. Nothing is random.
• The Starter pack can be bought once. Its Golden Pib skin, which turns Pib (the smallest creature) gold, is yours permanently. Its 5,000 coins and 5 undo tokens are added to your game when you buy it (all 5 tokens, even above the usual limit). If the pack is restored on a new install or device (with Restore purchases, or automatically when the game starts), they are added to that install once. Like other coins and tokens they are part of your progress, so Settings → Reset progress erases them; the skin stays.
• Use Restore purchases (Shop or Settings) to get purchases back on a new device or after reinstalling.
• Purchases are delivered straight away. By buying, you agree to that and understand that the usual 14-day right to cancel ends once delivery starts. This does not affect your right to a remedy if something you bought does not work.

4. Ads

The game shows ad breaks between some runs (never in your first session, and never if you buy Remove ads) and optional ads you choose to watch for a bonus. Ads are never personalised and are limited to G-rated content. To report an inappropriate ad, use Settings → Report an ad. See the privacy policy for how ads use data.

5. Fair use

Please do not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute the game or its files. The game, its code, art, creatures, names, sounds and text belong to us, except the open-source software and the font listed in Settings → Open-source licences, which belong to their authors and are used under their licences. You may share screenshots and videos of your play.

6. Changes and availability

We keep improving the game and may change, add or remove features. The game works offline; ads and purchases need a connection.

7. Our responsibility to you

We make the game with reasonable care and skill, as the law requires. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility where the law does not allow it, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or your statutory rights. Otherwise we are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable, for business losses, or for problems caused by your device or things outside our reasonable control. Our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem.

8. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales and disputes go to its courts. If you live elsewhere you keep your local consumer protections and can use your local courts. Please contact us first: most problems are quickly sorted out.
