Effective date: September 3, 2026
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to CatmintCove.com, the Catmint Cove browser beta, and future Catmint Cove mobile applications provided by Midknight Studio Labs (collectively, the "Game"). By accessing or using the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.
1. Beta status
Catmint Cove is in development. The current browser version is a temporary beta preview of the planned mobile game. Beta features, content, balance, availability, pricing, saves, and progress may change, reset, or be removed without notice. The beta may contain errors or interruptions and is provided for testing and feedback.
2. Eligibility
You must be legally permitted to use the Game in your location. If you are under the age of legal majority, a parent or guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. Do not use the Game where prohibited by law.
3. Limited license
We grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Game for non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms and applicable app-store rules. You may not copy, sell, redistribute, reverse engineer, interfere with, exploit, cheat in, or create unauthorized derivative works from the Game except where applicable law expressly permits.
4. Accounts, saves, and availability
The current beta does not require an account and stores progress locally. Clearing data, changing devices, technical failures, updates, or beta resets may cause progress to be lost. Future versions may offer accounts or cloud saves under additional terms. We do not guarantee that the Game, any feature, or any saved progress will always be available.
5. Advertising
The mobile Game is expected to contain advertisements, including optional rewarded ads. Ad availability and rewards may vary. Third-party advertisers are responsible for their advertising content, products, and destinations. Any ad-removal purchase will apply only as described at the time of purchase and may not remove disclosures, cross-promotions, platform notices, or content that is not a paid advertisement.
6. Purchases and virtual items
Future versions may offer in-app purchases, including a Cozy Supporter Pack, virtual currency, cosmetics, boosts, or other digital entitlements. Purchases are licenses to use digital content in the Game; they do not give you ownership of virtual items or any real-world monetary value. Virtual items cannot be transferred, traded, or redeemed for cash unless we expressly allow it. Prices, contents, and availability may change prospectively.
7. Refunds
Except where required by applicable law or the rules of the store that processed your transaction, purchases are final and non-refundable. Refund requests for purchases made through Google Play or the Apple App Store must be submitted through the applicable platform and are governed by that platform's refund rules. If a refund, chargeback, or reversal is granted, the related digital entitlement may be removed. Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer right that cannot legally be waived.
8. Acceptable use
You may not use the Game to break the law; harass or harm others; distribute malware; access systems or data without permission; manipulate purchases, ads, rewards, or game systems; use unauthorized automation; impersonate another person; or disrupt other users or the Services. We may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect the Game, users, or third parties.
9. Feedback and community submissions
If you send ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or other feedback, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use, adapt, and incorporate that feedback without compensation or obligation. You retain ownership of original content you submit, but you must have the right to submit it and it must not violate law or another person's rights.
10. Intellectual property
The Game, Catmint Cove name and logo, characters, artwork, audio, code, text, designs, and other content are owned by Midknight Studio Labs or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you.
11. Third-party services
The Game may use or link to app stores, analytics providers, advertising networks, social platforms, and other third-party services. Their terms and privacy policies govern your use of those services. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our control.
12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Game is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of uninterrupted operation, error-free performance, fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, or non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Midknight Studio Labs and its team will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, loss of data, lost profits, or business interruption arising from the Game. Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Game during the twelve months before the claim or US$25. These limits do not apply where prohibited by law.
14. Changes and termination
We may update the Game or these Terms as development continues. The revised Terms will be posted with a new effective date. We may suspend or discontinue all or part of the Game, or terminate access for a material violation of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive will remain effective after termination.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer protections in your country or region continue to apply. Courts with lawful jurisdiction may hear disputes that cannot be resolved informally.
