Terms of Use

Last updated: April 8, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the mobile game MAXCHΞX ("MAXCHEX" or the "App"), published by Back to Dust Studios LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a compatible Apple device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment. You may not rent, lease, sell, sublicense, reverse engineer, or otherwise exploit the App or any part of it.

Intellectual Property

All content included in the App — including but not limited to game design, artwork, characters, music, sound effects, source code, and the MAXCHΞX name and logo — is owned by Back to Dust Studios LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. No rights are granted to you other than the limited license described above.

In-App Purchases and Virtual Currency

MAXCHΞX offers optional in-app purchases of Sparks, an in-game virtual currency, through Apple's App Store using the StoreKit framework. Sparks can also be earned by winning ranked online matches at no cost. Sparks may be used to acquire cosmetic items within the in-game store. Cosmetic items are visual only and do not affect gameplay, matchmaking, or competitive outcomes in any way. MAXCHΞX does not sell any item, feature, or advantage that affects gameplay.

You acknowledge and agree to the following regarding Sparks and other virtual items:

• Sparks and cosmetic items are a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use a feature of the App. You do not own them, and they have no monetary value.
• Sparks and cosmetic items have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for real money, goods, or other items of monetary value, and cannot be transferred between accounts or devices except as supported by Apple Game Center.
• All purchases of Sparks are final and non-refundable except where required by applicable law or Apple's App Store refund policies. Refund requests for in-app purchases must be directed to Apple.
• Sparks, cosmetic items, and any associated progress or balances may be modified, suspended, or permanently lost if the App is uninstalled, if your device is lost or reset, if your Apple ID or Game Center account is terminated, or if we discontinue the App or a particular feature.
• We reserve the right to manage, modify, regulate, control, or eliminate Sparks and cosmetic items, and to set or adjust earn rates, prices, and availability at our discretion.
• Any attempt to obtain Sparks or cosmetic items through fraud, exploitation of bugs, unauthorized third-party software, or any means not sanctioned by us is a violation of these Terms and may result in forfeiture of Sparks, loss of cosmetic items, or suspension from the App.

The App provides a "Restore Purchases" option for recovering previously purchased non-consumable entitlements where applicable. Sparks are a consumable product and are credited to your in-game balance at the time of purchase; consumable Sparks are not restorable once spent.

Third-Party Services

MAXCHΞX integrates with Apple Game Center for online multiplayer and leaderboard features, and with Apple's App Store and StoreKit for processing in-app purchases. Your use of these Apple services is subject to Apple's own terms and policies. All payment processing for in-app purchases is handled by Apple; we do not receive or store your payment information. We are not responsible for the availability or behavior of third-party services.

Disclaimer of Warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free or that defects will be corrected.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Back to Dust Studios LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for any claim related to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid, if any, to download the App.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Ohio.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
