Tiderace is free to download. It offers two optional in-app purchases, the Galleon and the Submarine, which are one-time purchases: you buy each once and own it permanently on your Apple Account. There is no subscription, no free trial and nothing that renews automatically. There is no advertising, no in-game currency and no loot boxes. All payments and refunds are handled by Apple, not by us.
These Terms of Use and End User License Agreement (together, the “Agreement”), including all documents referred to in them, constitute a legally binding agreement between you as a natural person (“you”, “your” or “user”) and Alamak OY (“we”, “us” or “our”), concerning your access to and use of the “Tiderace” software application for mobile devices (the “App”). The App’s title may vary in countries other than the United States and is subject to change without specific notice.
Please read this Agreement carefully before you download, install or use the App. By downloading, installing or using the App you indicate that you have read, understood, agreed to and accepted this Agreement, which takes effect on the date on which you first download, install or use the App.
If you do not agree with this Agreement, or with any one of its provisions, you are not authorised to access, download, install or use the App, and you must promptly stop downloading or installing it and remove it from any device in your possession or under your control.
You acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between you and Alamak OY only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Alamak OY, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. This Agreement does not conflict with, and is subject to, the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and those terms, those terms prevail with respect to your relationship with Apple.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to this Agreement at any time. We will keep you informed of any changes by updating this Agreement and revising the “Last updated” date above. It is your responsibility to review this Agreement periodically to stay informed of updates. Your continued use of the App after a revised Agreement is posted constitutes your acceptance of it. If you do not accept a change, your remedy is to stop using the App and delete it. Changes will not be applied retroactively to purchases you have already made.
In order to agree to this Agreement you must be eighteen (18) years of age or older.
If you are between thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) years of age, you may use the App only if a parent or guardian has read and accepted this Agreement on your behalf, and directly supervises your use of the App, including any in-app purchases. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising any use of the App by minors.
No person under the age of thirteen (13) may download, install, access or use the App.
You affirm that you are either more than 18 years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into and comply with this Agreement.
On devices that support it, the App may ask your device for your age range before an in-app purchase, so that it can check whether a parent or guardian needs to approve that purchase. The App receives only a broad age range and never your date of birth. See our Privacy Notice for details.
Tiderace is an endless arcade sea-survival game. You do not steer the ship directly: you drag your finger across the water to stir a real-time fluid simulation, and the currents you create carry the ship past barrels, rocks, mines, patrol ships and other hazards. The distance you sail is your score. The App also offers an optional leaderboard through Apple’s Game Center.
The App is intended only for your personal, non-commercial use. You shall use the App only for the purposes described above.
Your privacy is important to us. We have published a Privacy Notice explaining what information is and is not processed when you use the App. Access to and use of the App are subject to that notice. In summary: the App contains no advertising, no analytics and no third-party software, collects no personal data about you, and asks for no device permissions.
By using the App you are deemed to have read our Privacy Notice. We reserve the right to amend it from time to time. If you disagree with any part of it, you must stop using the App. Please read our Privacy Notice carefully: Privacy Notice.
By using the App you undertake to respect our intellectual property rights — those relating to the App’s source code, user interface and experience design, content and materials, copyright and trademarks (together, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) — as well as those owned by third parties.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable and revocable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (the “License”). This License does not allow you to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time — except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing, where Apple makes those features available.
You may use the App solely for your own non-commercial purposes. You are bound to respect the copyrighted material within the App.
The source code, design and content of the App — including information, illustrations, artwork and other graphic materials, sounds, music and video (the “works”), together with names, logos and trademarks (“means of individualization”) — are protected by copyright and other applicable laws and international treaties, and belong to us and/or our partners and/or contracted third parties, as the case may be.
These works and means of individualization may not be copied, reproduced, retransmitted, distributed, disseminated, sold, published, broadcast or circulated, in whole or in part, unless expressly permitted by us and/or our partners and/or contracted third parties, as the case may be.
All right, title and interest in and to the App, its content, works, means of individualization and functionality (1) are the exclusive property of Alamak OY and/or our partners and/or contracted third parties, (2) are protected by applicable international and national law, and (3) are under no circumstances transferred or assigned to you, in whole or in part, under this License. All rights not expressly granted here are reserved. Other product and company names mentioned may be the trademarks of their respective owners.
The App includes the Baloo 2 typeface, Copyright 2019 The Baloo 2 Project Authors, used under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. A copy of that licence is included in the App bundle.
You agree not to use the App in any way that:
We may terminate your License immediately if you engage in any of the above.
The game itself runs entirely on your device and does not require an internet connection. The optional Game Center leaderboard additionally requires an Apple Account signed in to Game Center and a working network connection, and may be unavailable, delayed or incomplete for reasons outside our control.
We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that it will be compatible with any particular device or future version of iOS. We may modify, suspend or discontinue the App, or any of its features, at any time.
Alamak OY is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, as required under applicable law. You and we acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. Support requests should be sent to info@alamak.app.
The App is free to download and play. It offers two optional in-app purchases:
Both are non-consumable, one-time purchases. Once bought, each ship is permanently associated with your Apple Account. There is no subscription, no free trial period and no automatic renewal of any kind. There is no in-game currency, there are no consumable items and there are no loot boxes or randomised rewards.
Prices are indicative and shown in U.S. dollars. They vary between App Store storefronts and according to local taxes, and may change without notice. The price displayed in the App at the moment you confirm a purchase is the price that applies. The free Pirate Sloop remains available and the game is fully playable without making any purchase.
Purchases are tied to your Apple Account and can be re-downloaded on your other devices signed in to the same account. If you reinstall the App or change device, use the Restore Purchases button in the ship shop to recover them. Where Apple makes it available, purchases may also be shared through Family Sharing.
All billing, payment, cancellation and refund handling is performed by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Alamak OY cannot charge you, cannot access your payment details and cannot issue refunds. Refund requests must be made to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
If Apple refunds or revokes a purchase, or a purchase is revoked through Family Sharing, the corresponding ship will be removed from your account in the App. Any progress you made using that ship is unaffected.
Consumers in the European Union have a statutory right of withdrawal of fourteen (14) days for digital content. Because Apple is the seller of record for all in-app purchases, this right is exercised through Apple, in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Nothing in this Agreement limits your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer.
On devices that support it, the App checks your age range before completing a purchase. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must approve the purchase — normally through Apple’s Ask to Buy feature in Family Sharing. Parents and guardians: in-app purchases can be disabled entirely in iOS Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions.
You must comply with all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App. In particular, your use of the App Store and of Game Center is governed by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple’s related terms, and your relationship with Apple is governed by those terms and not by this Agreement.
The App and this Agreement may contain links to third-party websites and resources. Those links are provided for your convenience only and we have no control over their contents. We are not responsible for third-party websites or resources, and their inclusion does not imply our endorsement. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their own terms.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will meet your requirements or that its operation will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Warranty and Apple: in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. As between Apple and Alamak OY, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of Alamak OY.
If you are a consumer, nothing in this section affects your mandatory statutory rights, including any legal guarantee of conformity for digital content under the law of your country of residence.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Alamak OY be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the App, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the App and this Agreement shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid to Apple for the App and its in-app purchases in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the liability, and (b) EUR 50.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, nothing in this section affects your mandatory statutory rights.
You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You further agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms and with all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations in connection with your use of the App.
You and we acknowledge that Alamak OY, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims from you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation, including in connection with the App’s use of Apple frameworks.
You and we acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Alamak OY, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of any such claim.
You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary of it.
This Agreement, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it, is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland.
If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you have your habitual residence, and you may rely on those protections. You may bring proceedings against us in the courts of the country in which you are domiciled, and we will bring any proceedings against you in those courts.
If you are not acting as a consumer, the courts of Helsinki, Finland shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.
Consumers resident in the European Union may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform, where available, to seek an out-of-court resolution. In any case, you are welcome to contact us first at info@alamak.app — most issues are resolved quickly that way.
We make no representation that the App is appropriate or available for use in any particular location. Those who access or use the App from other jurisdictions do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local law, including ensuring that their use is lawful in that country.
This Agreement remains in effect until terminated by you or by us. You may terminate it at any time by ceasing all use of the App and deleting it from your devices. We may terminate or suspend your License immediately, without notice, if you breach any provision of this Agreement.
On termination, all rights granted to you under this Agreement end and you must stop using the App and delete it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 6, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17 and 18 — survive it.
If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, that provision shall be read down so as to be valid and enforceable or, if that is not possible, severed. The remaining terms of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
This Agreement, together with the documents referred to in it, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings on that subject.
No failure or delay by us in exercising any right under this Agreement operates as a waiver of that right, and no single or partial exercise of it prevents any further exercise.
You may not assign or transfer, or purport to assign or transfer, this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under it to any other person. We may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any affiliate or successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you.
Any questions, complaints or claims with respect to the App should be directed to us at:
