terms

• — you are at least 18 years old
• — you're responsible for your own safety in the real world. the game encourages you to walk outside. do not walk into traffic, off a cliff, onto private property, or anywhere else you shouldn't be
• — you won't attempt to hack, scrape, or abuse the service (rate-limit bypass, fake events, API spam)
• — the content you can type into the app (operative name, email) is not offensive, harassing, or illegal

• — the app is free to use. some cosmetic supporter-tier extras cost a small one-time fee (“the veil”). free players get the complete game
• — we don't sell your data. see the privacy policy for the full list of what we collect
• — you can delete everything we have on you at any time from profile → field settings → delete all data
• — refunds for the veil are handled by Lemon Squeezy (our payment processor) under their standard 30-day policy

• — the app is provided “as is.” GPS is not always accurate, sensors are not always available, the internet sometimes goes down, LLMs sometimes fail — we do our best to degrade gracefully
• — we can't guarantee your journal entries will persist forever. if the underlying database provider disappears, we have no way to rescue them
• — nothing in the app constitutes genuine supernatural evidence. no real entities were harmed, summoned, or placated in the making of this software

“The veil” is a one-time supporter unlock that adds cosmetic and convenience features. It does NOT unlock gameplay, entities, or narrative content — those are all free for everyone. Payment is processed by Lemon Squeezy; we never see your card details. Chargebacks and refunds are handled directly by Lemon Squeezy's dispute process.

Follow is a game. We are not liable for any real-world harm, loss, or damage arising from using it — including but not limited to: walking into things, draining your phone battery, getting rained on, or being genuinely frightened. Use common sense. Look up from the screen sometimes.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the service is limited to what you've paid us (typically €0 or the price of the veil unlock).

You can stop using the app at any time and delete your data from the profile page. We can suspend or terminate access if you break these terms (e.g. trying to exploit the API). We won't terminate a session for any other reason without notice.

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any dispute is first addressed directly — email legal@dreadworks.io — before escalating to courts. For everything else (bugs, refunds, support): support@dreadworks.io.

If we materially change these terms, we update this page, bump the date above, and surface a toast on the landing screen. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the new terms.
