Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Laugh Out Loud mobile application (the “App”) on iOS, distributed through the Apple App Store. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App. Contact: openloopstudios@icloud.com
1. The App
The App is provided by the operator of Laugh Out Loud (“we,” “us,” “our”).
2. Eligibility
You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law to use the App. If you use the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
3. License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App for your own entertainment, in line with the platform rules of the Apple App Store.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the App, except as allowed by law
- Circumvent security, payment, or usage limits
- Use the App in violation of law or third-party rights
- Use the App to harass, harm, or exploit others
4. The service
Laugh Out Loud is a social party game that plays humorous video clips and may use your device camera so players can participate on screen during a session. Video is processed on your device for gameplay; we do not operate a backend that stores your camera feed as described in our Privacy Policy.
Video content is provided by third parties (for example, YouTube). We do not control all content availability, embedding rules, or regional restrictions. Clips may change or become unavailable.
5. Third-party services and content
The App relies on third-party services, including but not limited to:
- Apple (App Store distribution and in-app purchases)
- Google (YouTube, advertising such as AdMob, and related APIs)
Your use of those services is also subject to their terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services’ availability, content, or practices.
6. In-app purchases
If you purchase “remove ads” or other digital items offered in the App:
- Payment is processed by Apple through the App Store
- Pricing, taxes, and refunds follow Apple’s rules
- Digital items are licensed as described in the App and App Store terms
To restore purchases, use the Restore option in the App (where available) and your App Store purchase history.
7. Advertising
The App may display advertisements unless you purchase an ad-free option where available. Ad networks may collect data as described in our Privacy Policy.
8. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. You use the App at your own risk.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL
- OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP OR IN-APP PURCHASES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100) IF NO SUCH PAYMENTS APPLY
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our directors, employees, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of third-party rights.
11. Termination
We may suspend or stop providing the App or any feature at any time. You may stop using the App by uninstalling it. Provisions that by nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity) will survive termination.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms by posting a new version at the same public URL where these Terms are published (or a clearly linked successor page). Material changes may require additional notice where required by law. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance, where permitted.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by applicable law in your jurisdiction, excluding conflict-of-law rules where not permitted. Disputes will be resolved in courts that have jurisdiction under applicable law, except where mandatory consumer protection law requires otherwise (for example, if you live in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have rights to bring claims in your country of residence).
14. Apple-specific terms (App Store)
If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that:
- These Terms are between you and us, not Apple
- Apple has no obligation to provide support for the App
- Apple is not responsible for the App or its content
- In the event of failure to conform to a warranty (if any), you may notify Apple; Apple may refund the purchase price in line with its policies; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them
You must also comply with the App Store Terms of Service.
