Below is a summary of the full Terms of Use to help young people below the age of 18 understand the rules for using our websites, playing our games and using any other products or services that we may offer (together, the Services).
As this is a summary of the Terms of Use, this summary should be read together with the full Terms of Use and you should ask your parent or guardian to read and agree to the full Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you are under 18 years old, you can only play our games with permission from your parent or guardian.
Where any age rating body (e.g. PEGI, ESRB) or platform (e.g. iOS or Android) assigns an age rating to one of our games, you can only play that game if you at least meet the age rating assigned to the game.
Introduction
This summary, together with the Privacy Policy, sets out the rules for anyone using our Services. We may update the Terms of Use (including this summary), so you should regularly check our websites to check for any changes. If we make any important changes, we may tell you about these changes by email or in-game messaging.
By using our Services, you are agreeing to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (including any updates that we may make) and to enter into a legal agreement with us on the terms in these documents. If you do not agree to these terms, you should stop using our Services and delete our games from your devices.
Who we are
We are a video games company called Salto Games Ltd. Our company address is International House, 64 Nile Street, London, United Kingdom, N1 7SR.
You can contact us by email at: support@salto.games.
Ownership of our games and services
We own and have the rights to our games and everything in them. By accepting the Terms of Use, you are only allowed to play our games and use our websites as long as you do not breach these terms (in other words, we give you a 'licence' to play our games and use our services). This licence is to use our games only, you will not own any of our games. You may not share or give away your licence to anyone else as this licence is personal to you.
If you breach any of the terms in the Terms of Use, we are allowed to withdraw your licence and you will no longer be permitted to play our games.
Our rights and responsibilities
We cannot guarantee that the Services will be available at all times and we may have to pause your access to our Services to complete any maintenance, repairs or upgrades. We will try to let you know as soon as possible if we plan to pause access to a Service and make the Services available as soon as we can. We may also stop providing certain Services in the future (including if we shut down one of our games) but we will try to give you as much notice as possible before we do this.
When we make any changes, we will ask you to install patches, updates and possibly additional content for you to keep using our Services. These updates may add extra game content or fix bugs.
We also cannot guarantee that our Services will be free from errors, bugs or viruses or inaccurate or incomplete information. Please make sure you use anti-virus software and have up-to-date back-ups while using our Services.
User Generated Content (UGC)
You may be able to upload, share and create materials within our Services such as your profile picture and in-game artwork (UGC). You own the rights to any of your UGC which you create and upload to our Services.
By sharing your UGC on our Services, you agree that we can use your UGC in any way including making it available online to other people (including other players of our games) or making changes to the UGC. We have the right to monitor, approve, change and remove your UGC at any time and particularly if we find your UGC to be in breach of the above rules. You understand that you will be responsible for all UGC you upload to our Services, including where your UGC breaches the rules in these terms.

Virtual Items
In some of our games, we may offer you access to digital unlockable content, virtual items and/or virtual currency which you can spend to buy virtual items (together, Virtual Items). Like our games, you do not own these Virtual Items. You instead have a licence (in the same way you have a licence to play our games) to use the Virtual Items within the games that you acquired the Virtual Item. This licence is personal to you and your Virtual Items have no real-world cash value. You cannot sell, trade or transfer your Virtual Items to anyone else.
When you buy Virtual Items, your payment is managed by a third party payment platform and not us. Therefore, any purchase made for Virtual Items will be subject to the terms and conditions of the third party platform managing this purchase.
If your account is suspended, terminated or changes in any way or if we change or discontinue one of our games, you may lose access to Virtual Items that you have earned or purchased without a refund.
Your account
When you use our Services, you may be asked to create an account with us or through another platform to access our Services (such as iOS and Android). Your account is personal to you and cannot be shared or sold to anyone else.
You must make sure to keep your account details secret and you will not share your login details with anyone else. We are not responsible if you lose your account details, or you fail to keep your login details secret.
You understand that if your account is deleted for any reason, you will no longer have access to your account data (including game progress and Virtual Items).
Suspending your access to our Services
We can suspend your accounts with us and/or your access to our Services if we believe you are in breach of these terms. If you are suspended, we will investigate your breach and, depending on our findings, either lift the suspension or ban you from using our Services without any refund.
Platforms and publishers
Our games may only be accessed through third-party platforms (including iOS and Android). These platforms will have their own terms and conditions which you will need to read and agree to in order to access our games on that platform. If you breach the platforms terms, we will treat that breach as a breach of our Terms of Use.
If any of our Services link to another website or platform, we have no control over the content of that website or platform. Therefore, we are not responsible for that third party content, and you visit these third party websites and platforms at your own risk.
Privacy
Please read our Young Person's Privacy Policy and ask your parent or guardian to read our Privacy Policy before using any of our Services.
Complaints
If you have any complaints, please let us try to resolve it first. You can send us details of your complaint by email to support@salto.games. If you purchased any our Services (including Virtual Items) through another platform, please contact that platform first.
