SHIMORI is an iPhone puzzle game by Can Ahmet Yüzer, trading as candev (io.candev.shimori). These terms cover the things specific to this game. They sit alongside Apple's licence, they do not replace it.
Your licence to use SHIMORI is Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement. That is the binding licence agreement for this app, it is the one shown on the App Store product page, and we have deliberately not replaced it with our own. In short: you get a personal, non transferable licence to use SHIMORI on Apple devices you own or control. You may not sell it, rent it, redistribute it, or take it apart to extract the code.
Where anything on this page conflicts with Apple's agreement, Apple's agreement wins.
Shards are a number stored on your phone. They are not money, not a payment instrument, not a security, and they have no value outside the game. You cannot cash them out, transfer them to another person, sell them, or move them to another device.
Concretely, that means:
Apple is the seller for everything you buy in SHIMORI. The payment, the receipt and any refund are handled by Apple, not by us. We never see your payment details.
If you want a refund, ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. We have no ability to issue one.
Remove Ads is a one time non consumable purchase. It permanently stops the automatic full screen ads. It is tied to your Apple Account, so if you reinstall SHIMORI or move to a new iPhone, use Restore Purchases in the settings to get it back. Rewarded videos stay available afterwards, because you start those yourself in exchange for a reward.
If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK you normally have fourteen days to withdraw from a digital purchase. That right ends once delivery has begun with your agreement, and buying an item that is credited to you immediately is exactly that. This is the standard arrangement for in app purchases and it is administered by Apple as the seller.
SHIMORI shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. What Google collects and why is set out in the privacy policy.
We do not choose the individual ads. They are selected by Google's systems. If you see an ad you believe is fraudulent, offensive or misleading, tell us at canyuezer@icloud.com and we will report it, but we cannot vet ads before they appear.
Rewarded videos are optional. You start them yourself to double a reward or reveal a seed. Nothing in the game is locked behind watching one.
Play it. That is the whole of the intended use. What is not allowed:
SHIMORI, its name, its visual design, its level generation and its sound synthesis are ours. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership to you. All artwork in the app is drawn procedurally by code and all audio is synthesised at runtime, so there is no separate asset licence to pass on.
The game runs entirely on your phone, so it does not depend on us keeping a server up. Purchases and ads do depend on Apple and Google, and those services can be unavailable, which we cannot control.
SHIMORI is provided as is. We do not warrant that it is free of defects or that it will run on every device and every future version of iOS. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or anything else that cannot be limited by law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected by anything on this page.
SHIMORI is rated for ages 4 and up and contains no objectionable content. If you are under the age at which you can agree to terms on your own where you live, a parent or guardian should agree to them for you. Apple's Ask to Buy and Screen Time controls are the practical tools for supervising in app purchases.
You can end it any time by deleting SHIMORI. Your licence ends automatically if you breach these terms or Apple's agreement in a material way. Deleting the app removes your progress permanently, as described above.
If these terms change we will update this page and the date at the top. There is no account system and no mailing list, so we cannot notify you directly. Continuing to use SHIMORI after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict of laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings there.
