These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the DolFin mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by DolFin ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading or using DolFin you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use DolFin. By using the Service you represent that you meet this age requirement. Users under 18 should have parental or guardian consent.

DolFin is available on iOS and Android. You are responsible for ensuring your device meets the minimum system requirements.

2. Your Account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used for fraudulent purposes.

3. Not Financial Advice

Important: DolFin is an educational and habit-building app. Nothing in DolFin — including quests, lessons, scores, the Waste Finder feature, or any other content — constitutes financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any financial product. Always consult a qualified financial professional before making financial decisions.

The Waste Finder feature helps you reflect on your own spending patterns based on information you enter. It does not connect to any bank account and does not access your real financial data.

4. Free Service & Pro Subscription

Subscriptions are managed and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Prices are shown in the app at the time of purchase. We may change prices with reasonable notice.

To cancel a subscription, use the subscription management settings on your device (App Store or Google Play). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain Pro access until then.

4.3 Gem Packs

Gems are the in-app virtual currency used for cosmetic items and in-app features. Gems can be earned by completing quests or purchased via gem packs available in the app. Gems are non-refundable and have no cash value.

4.4 Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests must be submitted to them directly. We are unable to issue refunds outside of the platform's standard refund policy.

5. Virtual Items, XP & Gems

XP (experience points), gems, levels, streaks, achievements, and any other virtual items or rewards in DolFin are part of the game experience only. They have no monetary value and cannot be transferred, sold, or exchanged for cash or real-world goods.

We reserve the right to modify, reset, or remove virtual items at any time, including in the event of account termination or service discontinuation.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Violations may result in immediate account suspension or termination without notice.

7. Intellectual Property

All content within DolFin — including the app design, graphics, text, quests, lessons, icons, and code — is owned by or licensed to DolFin and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, DolFin and its officers, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.

DolFin integrates with third-party services including Supabase (data storage), Apple App Store, and Google Play Store. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

12. Service Changes & Termination

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time with reasonable notice where possible. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

You may delete your account at any time through the app settings. Upon deletion, your data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Ireland, unless mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction provide otherwise.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of DolFin after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. For material changes we will provide notice via the app or email.
