Terms of Service

Effective date: 6 October 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Coolnology Pty Ltd ("Coolnology", "we", "us", "our") and govern your use of the No Hero Stands mobile game and this website (together, the "Game"). Please read them carefully. By downloading, installing, or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not download or play the Game.

1. Who may play

You may play the Game only if you can form a binding contract with us. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may play only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the Game, including any purchase made on their device or store account. The Game is not directed at children under 13.

2. The Game

No Hero Stands is a single-player logic-puzzle game provided for entertainment. You do not need an account and there is no sign-up.

Your progress is stored on your device only. We do not keep a copy. If you delete the Game, clear its data, reset or lose your device, or move to a new device, your progress — including levels completed, your dragon's level, gear, and items — may be lost, and we are not able to restore it. Your one-time purchase (section 4) is recorded by your app store and can be restored separately.

3. Licence and app stores

We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited licence to install and play the Game on a device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and the usage rules of the app store you obtained it from. You must not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Game, or reverse engineer it except as permitted by law.

If you obtained the Game from the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an "app store"): (a) these Terms are between you and us only, not with the app store; (b) your use must comply with the app store's terms; (c) the app store has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Game; (d) the app store is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Game, except as required by non-excludable law; (e) if a third party claims the Game infringes its intellectual-property rights, we (not the app store) are responsible to the extent required by these Terms; and (f) the app store and its affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm you are not located in, and will not use the Game from, a country or region subject to an applicable government embargo, and that you are not on any applicable restricted-party list.

4. Free to play, advertising, and purchases

The Game is free to download and play.

Stamina and rewarded ads. Play is limited by a stamina meter. The Game offers optional rewarded video advertisements: if you choose to watch one, you receive an in-game reward such as refilled stamina or a scroll. Watching ads is always your choice. Ads are supplied by a third-party advertising network; we do not control and are not responsible for the content of the ads, or for the products, services, or websites they promote. Ads may occasionally be unavailable, and rewards are only granted when an ad has been completed.

One-time purchase. The Game offers one optional, one-time in-app purchase that removes advertising and the stamina limit. The price (US$5.99, or the equivalent in your local currency, including any applicable taxes) is shown in the Game and by your app store before you buy. It is a single payment, not a subscription, and it does not renew.

The purchase is sold and billed through the app store you downloaded the Game from, not directly by us. We never receive your payment card details. The purchase is tied to your app-store account; if you reinstall the Game or change devices on the same platform, you can restore it using the restore option in the Game. A purchase made on one platform (for example iOS) does not carry over to another (for example Android).

Refunds. Refunds are handled by the app store under its policies; we generally cannot issue refunds for app-store purchases directly. Nothing in this section limits your non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law (see section 11).

5. In-game items

Levels, gear, items, in-game currency, rewards, and other in-game content have no real-world monetary value. They are licensed to you as part of the Game, not sold; they cannot be transferred, exchanged, or redeemed for money or anything else of value; and they exist only on your device. We may change, rebalance, or remove in-game content as described in section 9.

6. Leaderboards and fair play

On iOS, the Game can submit your scores to Apple Game Center leaderboards if you are signed in to Game Center. Game Center is operated by Apple under Apple's own terms, and the name and scores shown to other players are controlled by your Game Center settings.

You agree not to: cheat, or use bots, hacks, modified versions of the Game, or other unauthorised software to alter the Game or gain an unfair advantage; submit false scores; interfere with advertising or attempt to obtain ad rewards or paid features without watching the ad or making the purchase; misuse or disrupt the Game or the services it relies on; or use the Game for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms. Scores obtained in breach of these Terms may be removed from leaderboards.

7. Intellectual property

The Game, including its software, design, levels, text, graphics, and audio, and the compilation and arrangement of its content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Some artwork, music, and fonts are used under licence from third parties and remain the property of their owners. Except for the limited licence in section 3, these Terms do not give you any rights in the Game. "No Hero Stands" and "Coolnology" are names used by us; you may not use them in a way that suggests we endorse you or your products.

You are welcome to share screenshots and videos of your own play, and to discuss levels and solutions, for non-commercial purposes.

8. Feedback

If you choose to send us ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about the Game, you agree that we may use it for any purpose without any obligation, restriction, or compensation to you.

9. Changes to the Game and availability

We may update, change, rebalance, suspend, or discontinue the Game or any part of it at any time — for example by changing levels, difficulty, rewards, items, or features. Some features, such as the daily dungeon, advertising, leaderboards, and purchases, depend on an internet connection and on third-party services, and may not always be available. We are not obliged to keep the Game available on any platform or device, or to provide updates or support. This section is subject to your non-excludable rights (section 11).

10. Third-party services

The Game relies on services provided by third parties, including Apple (the App Store and Game Center) and Google (Google Play, AdMob, and Firebase). Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, websites, or advertisements.

11. Disclaimers, consumer guarantees, and limitation of liability

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that your progress will be preserved.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded (your "non-excludable rights"). If you are a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded.

Where our liability for failing to comply with a consumer guarantee can be limited (but not excluded), our liability is limited, at our option, to: for services, re-supplying the services or paying the cost of having them re-supplied; and for goods, replacing or repairing the goods or paying the cost of doing so.

Subject to your non-excludable rights, and to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) we and our suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, game progress, goodwill, or other losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Game; and (b) our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Game will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim, or AUD 100.

12. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Game or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

13. Ending these Terms

You may stop playing and delete the Game from your device at any time. We may suspend or end your licence to use the Game if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes we will update the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice in the Game or on this website. Your continued use of the Game after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Tasmania, Australia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in Tasmania, Australia will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Game, except where mandatory law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere. Nothing in these Terms affects mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have where you live.

16. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Game. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. You agree that we may communicate with you electronically, and that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing, to the extent permitted by law.
