BORN IN WAR — TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective date: 14 October 2026
Last updated: 14 October 2026

1. Parties, scope and acceptance

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Born in War and related services provided by Quell Studios. “Quell Studios”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the service operator, and “you” refers to the player.

Operator: Quell Studios
Address: Merkez Mahallesi, Abide-i Hürriyet Caddesi, Şişli, 34360 Istanbul, Türkiye
Player support and privacy: [email protected]
Business inquiries and proposals: [email protected]

By accepting these Terms through the acceptance mechanism presented to you, you agree to use the game in accordance with them. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the service.

The Born in War Privacy Policy explains personal data processing. Accepting these Terms does not constitute consent to processing that requires separate consent.

2. Minimum age and legal capacity

You must be at least 13 years old to use Born in War. Children under 13 may not use the game under these Terms, even with parental permission.

If you are 13 or older but lack the legal capacity to enter into this agreement independently where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review these Terms and provide the required authorization. Your use is subject to the parental or guardian supervision required by applicable law.

You must not provide false information to bypass age or authorization requirements. Parental authorization required for personal data processing is addressed separately from contractual acceptance under the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

3. License to use the game

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and use Born in War for personal entertainment.

This license does not transfer ownership of the game software or its intellectual property to you. It may be restricted or terminated in the circumstances set out in these Terms and in accordance with applicable law.

Supported device and software requirements are provided on the relevant store listing or with the game. Internet and device-related charges are governed by your arrangements with the relevant service provider.

4. Player accounts and connected services

Born in War integrates Google Play Games, Apple Game Center and Sign in with Apple. Available options depend on your device and the features offered in the game. The relevant providers' terms may also apply to their own services.

If your account has not been deleted, signing in again with the same Google/Apple account you previously linked lets you access your existing game account, inventory and progress. Section 9.1 applies to planned early-access resets, and Section 11 applies to account deletion at your request.

You must protect your sign-in credentials, avoid accessing other people's accounts and report suspected unauthorized use of your account to [email protected]. You may not sell, rent or commercially transfer your player account without Quell Studios' written permission or an expressly available feature allowing it.

Authentication of your Google and Apple accounts is handled by the relevant provider; Quell Studios does not store those accounts' passwords. Quell Studios keeps your name, email and age information together with inventory and game progress. The Privacy Policy explains how those records are processed and deleted.

5. Player conduct

You must not:

Use cheats, bots, unauthorized automation or software that compromises game integrity.
Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities to gain an unfair advantage, create fraudulent transactions or duplicate content.
Attack servers, disrupt the service or bypass security measures without authorization.
Threaten, harass or defraud players or support staff.
Use in-game names or content that are racist, hateful, unlawful or infringe others' rights.
Collect, disclose or attempt to obtain another person's private information or credentials without authorization.
Mislead people by impersonating Quell Studios staff or another person.
Commit payment fraud or participate in account, virtual-currency or item trading not permitted by the game.
Use the service for unlawful betting, gambling or other illegal activities.
Copy, modify or attempt to obtain the source code of the game without authorization, except where permitted by applicable law.

You can report bugs and security issues to [email protected]. Exercising legitimate statutory dispute or refund rights is not a rule violation.

6. Event feed and player content

The current version has no in-app advertising, player-written free-text chat, clan chat or private messaging. “Event chat” displays automatic system notices about item upgrades; players cannot write messages there.

In-game information shown in the feed is visible to other players who can access the relevant screen. Where that information is personal data, it is processed under the Privacy Policy.

Any name or other content you provide to the game must respect third-party rights. You retain your rights in your content and grant Quell Studios permission only to the extent and for the duration necessary to provide the service, display it on relevant game screens and enforce the rules. This does not automatically authorize use of your content in independent advertising campaigns.

If new social features are introduced, their rules and data-processing information will be explained before use.

7. Purchases and virtual content

Born in War offers in-game content that can be purchased with real money. The product's scope, price, any duration and applicable conditions are shown before purchase. You must only use payment methods you are authorized to use.

Virtual currency, items and other digital content provide a right of use within the game on the stated conditions; they do not transfer intellectual-property ownership. Except where required by law or expressly offered by us, they cannot be converted into real money or used as a payment method outside the game.

Purchases are processed through the store or payment provider shown in the game. The platform's payment and purchase terms may apply, but cannot remove mandatory consumer rights. Separate charges imposed by your internet provider or bank are governed by your arrangements with them.

For missing or incorrectly delivered content, contact [email protected] with your player and transaction information. Do not send full card numbers, security codes or account passwords.

8. Refunds and withdrawal rights

Refund, cancellation and defective-digital-content claims are assessed under applicable consumer law, the purchase conditions and the processes of the platform that handled the transaction. There is no blanket rule making every purchase non-refundable in all circumstances.

Where applicable law requires separate express consent and information for a withdrawal right to end when digital content is supplied immediately, the relevant steps are completed during purchase. General acceptance of these Terms does not by itself replace that consent.

When a purchase is refunded or cancelled, associated virtual content may be removed in a lawful manner proportionate to that transaction. Exercising a legitimate refund or payment-dispute right does not by itself justify penalizing an account.

9. Early access, resets and service changes

We may release updates for security, compatibility, performance and game balance. Required updates may need to be installed to continue using the game. Content, item characteristics and events may change over time.

For changes materially affecting access to purchased content or your use of the service, we comply with applicable notice, termination, refund and other consumer-protection duties. This section does not authorize unlawful or arbitrary removal of purchase rights.

If all or a substantial part of the service is discontinued, we provide the advance notice required by the circumstances and applicable law and address rights concerning unused paid content under applicable law.

9.1. Early access and planned reset

Born in War is currently in early access. As part of development, testing, technical migration or game-balance changes, we may reset game progress and game state at a future date. If a reset is decided upon, we will provide reasonable advance notice of its date, scope, affected progress and content, and how to access preserved content through in-game notices or other official announcement channels. The possibility of an early-access reset and its effect on paid content will also be clearly disclosed before purchase.

In this reset carried out by Quell Studios, players keep their paid costumes, pets and similar content that does not affect game balance or players' power, progress or competition. If technical reasons require redelivery, we will provide that content to the same player again at no additional charge. Ownership is verified using our inventory records and valid purchase evidence where needed. Necessary account-matching steps and the redelivery schedule will be specified in the reset notice.

Game progress, levels, item enhancements, upgrades and similar gameplay values affecting players' power, progress or competition are reset. Preserving a costume, pet or other content itself does not mean that its associated upgrade levels or gameplay-affecting values are preserved. Paying for content does not, by itself, protect its gameplay-affecting features from the reset.

These rules apply together with the conditions disclosed at purchase and applicable consumer rights. A later reset notice does not remove a binding commitment made at purchase or mandatory consumer rights. If content promised to be preserved cannot be preserved or redelivered, the player will be informed and a remedy provided in accordance with applicable law.

This protection applies only to the planned reset carried out by Quell Studios. If you choose to delete your account, all game data and content linked to it, including paid costumes, pets and other content, is deleted under Section 11. Early-access status does not remove mandatory consumer rights.

10. Violations, suspension and appeals

For serious or repeated breaches of these Terms, fraud, a security threat or a legal requirement, we may remove relevant content, restrict features, suspend an account or close it.

We consider the nature, severity and recurrence of the violation and its impact on other players. Urgent security or legal reasons may require immediate action. We provide reasons for the decision unless doing so would be unlawful or compromise security.

If you believe a decision is mistaken, request a review at [email protected]. We may ask for necessary and proportionate information to assess your request. Any action taken does not remove mandatory consumer or data-protection rights.

11. Stopping use and deleting your account

You may stop using the game at any time and delete your account and associated data through the account-deletion option in Settings. If you cannot access the game or need help, contact [email protected].

Once account deletion is completed, all game data and content linked to the account is permanently deleted. This includes your profile information, all game progress, inventory, items, upgrades, and costumes, pets and other content obtained for payment or for free. The Privacy Policy explains personal-data deletion and the treatment of any records that must be retained by law.

The deleted account, game progress and content are not restored. Signing in again with the same Google/Apple account or creating a new Born in War account does not bring back previous data or paid content. The commitment in Section 9.1 to preserve or redeliver paid content does not apply to account deletion requested by you.

Uninstalling the app or signing out of a connected account does not itself delete the account. Deleting a Born in War account does not close your Google or Apple account; those providers' own account and store-transaction records are subject to their rules.

Account deletion does not automatically constitute a purchase-refund request. Your statutory refund, defective-content and personal-data rights remain unaffected; relevant claims are assessed under Section 8 and applicable law.

12. Intellectual property

Rights in the Born in War software, game designs, visuals, characters, sounds, music, text, logos and other elements belong to Quell Studios or the relevant rights holders.

You acquire no rights in those elements beyond the license expressly granted in these Terms. Uses permitted by applicable law and applicable licenses for third-party components remain unaffected. Rights in player content are addressed in Section 6.

13. Service provision and liability

We work to provide the service with reasonable care and skill. Maintenance, technical failures, connectivity problems or events outside our control may cause interruptions. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that the service will always be uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable or for business losses resulting from commercial use of a game provided for personal entertainment.

These Terms do not exclude liability for fraud, intentional wrongdoing, gross negligence or other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Mandatory consumer rights, defective-content remedies, personal-data rights and other non-waivable rights remain unaffected.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms because of service changes, security needs or legal requirements. When changes are made, we publish the revised text and change its last-updated date.

We notify you of material changes as required by applicable law, in advance where required. If renewed acceptance is necessary, we request it separately. Changes are not applied retroactively where the law does not permit this.

If you do not accept the changes, you may stop using the service. This does not remove rights that have already arisen or any applicable refund or termination rights.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. This choice does not remove mandatory protections that you enjoy as a consumer in your country of residence and that cannot be excluded by agreement.

You may contact [email protected] about problems or disputes. Contacting us first is not a contractual prerequisite to bringing a matter before a court, consumer arbitration committee, data-protection authority or other competent body.

The competent courts, consumer arbitration committees and other bodies are determined by applicable law. These Terms do not impose mandatory private arbitration or a blanket waiver of collective remedies.

16. Other provisions, language and contact

If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent legally possible. Failure to exercise a right in a particular instance does not mean that we waive it for the future.

If the service is transferred to another operator, applicable legal conditions and notice duties are fulfilled and players' mandatory rights are preserved.

These Terms are available in Turkish and English. If the translations differ, the Turkish text prevails unless mandatory law or the binding effect of the language presented to a consumer requires otherwise.
