At a Glance
1. Acceptance of This User Agreement
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Skao, you agree to this User Agreement. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
This User Agreement applies to Skao and any related app features, updates, and in-app content that we provide. The separate Skao Privacy Agreement explains how information is handled.
2. What Skao Is
Skao is a light, colorful iOS game built around tapping, holding, and swiping to burst balloons. The app may include combo feedback, confetti, fireworks, chain reactions, level challenges, a balloon collection, sound effects, haptic feedback, visual flash controls, and optional photo-based customization.
As of the effective date, Skao is designed as a local single-player app. It does not require an account, does not include public user profiles, does not provide social messaging, and does not operate online rankings.
3. Eligibility and Family Use
You may use Skao only if you can enter into a binding agreement under the laws that apply to you, or if your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and accepted this Agreement for you.
Skao is intended to be family friendly, but children should use the app with appropriate parent or guardian supervision. Parents and guardians are responsible for deciding whether the app is suitable for a child, including because it may contain bright visual effects, sound, and haptic feedback.
4. Limited License to Use Skao
Subject to this Agreement and applicable platform rules, we grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Skao on devices you own or control for personal entertainment use.
You may not sell, rent, sublicense, distribute, copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, attempt to extract source code from, or create derivative works based on Skao, except where applicable law expressly permits such activity despite this restriction.
5. User Conduct
You agree to use Skao lawfully and responsibly. You must not use the app in a way that:
- violates any applicable law, regulation, court order, platform rule, or third-party right;
- interferes with the security, integrity, performance, or normal operation of Skao or your device;
- attempts to bypass app limitations, unlock mechanisms, safety controls, or platform restrictions;
- uses automated tools, modified clients, or unauthorized software to manipulate the app experience;
- uploads, stores, or displays images in the app that you do not have the right to use, or that are unlawful, invasive, harmful, or exploitative.
6. Photos and User-Selected Images
Skao may let you choose images from your device photo library to personalize the home preview background or balloon collection cards. You decide whether to use this feature.
When you choose an image, you represent that you own or have the necessary rights and permissions to use that image in the app. You grant Skao a limited local permission to store, resize, display, and use the selected image inside the app for your personal in-app customization.
The current app design stores selected images locally on your device and does not upload them to Skao. If a future version adds online sync, cloud backup, sharing, or account features, we will update the Privacy Agreement and request permissions where required by law.
7. Game Progress, Settings, and Local Data
Skao may store gameplay progress and settings locally on your device, such as total balloon pops, best combo, selected level, sound settings, music settings, haptic settings, particle strength, burst speed, flash strength, and selected images.
Because this data is local, it may be lost if you uninstall the app, clear app data, change devices, restore your device, or use operating system settings that remove app storage. We are not responsible for loss of local progress or local customizations except where applicable law does not allow this limitation.
8. Safety, Comfort, and Accessibility
Skao may display moving visuals, particles, bursts, screen flash effects, sound, and haptic feedback. Stop using the app if you feel discomfort, dizziness, eye strain, nausea, headache, anxiety, sensory overload, or any other adverse reaction.
The app includes settings intended to reduce intensity, including sound, music, haptic, particle, burst speed, and flash controls. These settings are provided for comfort and accessibility, but they are not medical advice and do not guarantee that the app is suitable for every user.
If you have a condition that may be affected by flashing lights, motion, sound, vibration, or repeated tapping, consult a qualified professional before using the app.
9. Intellectual Property
Skao, including its app design, visual style, gameplay systems, text, interface, graphics, software, code, animations, icons, and other materials, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws.
Except for the limited license granted above, no rights are transferred to you. You keep your rights in images you choose from your device, subject to the limited local permission described in this Agreement.
10. Apple Platform Rules and Third Parties
Skao may be distributed through the Apple App Store or used on Apple devices. Your use of the app is also subject to applicable Apple rules and device settings. Apple is not responsible for this Agreement except to the extent required by Apple platform rules or applicable law.
If future versions include purchases, subscriptions, cloud features, ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs, additional platform or third-party terms may apply. We will update relevant disclosures where required.
11. Regional Consumer and Legal Rights
Nothing in this Agreement limits, excludes, or modifies rights that cannot be waived under the laws that apply to you. This includes non-excludable rights under consumer protection, privacy, product safety, and digital content laws.
California users keep rights that cannot be waived under California law, including applicable privacy and consumer protection rights.
Canadian users keep mandatory rights under applicable federal or provincial laws, including privacy and consumer protection rules.
Singapore users keep mandatory rights under applicable Singapore law, including personal data protection and fair dealing requirements.
Australian users keep non-excludable rights and remedies under the Australian Consumer Law and applicable privacy laws.
12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skao is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not promise that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every device, or free from data loss.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, progress, customizations, profits, goodwill, or device availability, arising from or related to your use of Skao.
Where the law does not allow a limitation or exclusion, our liability is limited only to the extent the law permits.
13. Updates, Changes, and Termination
We may update Skao to improve gameplay, fix issues, add features, change content, or comply with legal or platform requirements. We may also update this User Agreement from time to time.
If a change is material, we will make the updated Agreement available in a reasonable way before or when it takes effect where required by law. Your continued use of Skao after an updated Agreement takes effect means you accept the updated Agreement.
We may suspend or terminate access to Skao where we reasonably believe you have violated this Agreement, misused the app, created legal risk, or where termination is required by platform rules or law.
