Terms of use

Bamboo Pinch — version dated 6 September 2026

1. Publisher and scope

Bamboo Pinch is published by ANETH SOFTWARE under the ANETH Games label. Complete publisher information appears in the legal notice. These terms govern the Android app distributed through Google Play and its connected features. Google Play and Google services remain subject to Google's terms.

2. Licence and intellectual property

ANETH SOFTWARE grants a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Bamboo Pinch for lawful private entertainment. It transfers no ownership.

Original code, text, art, animation, audio, characters and branding are protected. Third-party materials remain subject to the identified licences. Statutory exceptions, including applicable interoperability rights, are unaffected.

3. Game operation and career progress

Core play, career and cosmetic progress work offline on a compatible device. Progress is saved locally first. There is no ANETH cloud-save server, and Android Auto Backup, Android device transfer and Google Play Games Saved Games are not used. Clearing app data, uninstalling, losing or replacing the device therefore removes the Career stored on that device. The current application has no Career cloud-restore path. Google Play Games remains a separate platform service used for player identity and the world leaderboard.

Progress remains local and the game remains playable without a network. Reset career replaces the Career stored on the current device; it is not a Google-data deletion command. The active Play Games identity and leaderboard remain separate from Career progress.

Connectivity can be required for Play Games, world ranking, advertising, privacy choices and external pages. Ad refusal, no-fill, network failure or a third-party outage must not block core play.

The download costs EUR 0. Exposure to advertising, and advertising data processing where lawfully authorised, is the economic advantage that may be received instead of a price. Refusing non-essential advertising processing does not block core play. The contract and licence continue while the player keeps and uses the game and can be ended at any time, without charge, by ceasing use and uninstalling it.

Bamboo Pinch requires Android 7.0 or later and a compatible device. Play Games features require Google Play Services, an eligible profile and connectivity for exchanges. No minimum online availability or response time is promised. Email support is free. These statements do not reduce mandatory conformity, security or update obligations.

The game supports touch and keyboard controls, displays visible focus indicators and honours the system reduced-motion preference. These features are not an accessibility certification. An access problem can be reported without charge to the publisher's contact address.

4. Profiles and world ranking

Bamboo Pinch creates no password-based ANETH account. On Android, Google Play Games may authenticate the player and, depending on Google's settings and whether a profile already exists, may present a Play Games profile creation or confirmation step. Google stores the world leaderboard. Bamboo Pinch presents a custom All-Time Top 10 and keeps the current player's score and rank in a fixed row below it. Public rows use the score holder's public Play Games gamertag, score and rank. A neutral UserXXXXXX label appears only if Google returns no usable display name. The raw PGS identifier and avatar are not placed in public rows. Profile displays the signed-in Play Games gamertag and avatar. Bamboo Pinch does not request, infer or display a player country.

A completed run, including one temporarily played offline, can be submitted directly to PGS after sign-in and connectivity return. Google tamper protection may hide suspected tampered scores and configured limits may discard scores outside the allowed range, but this is not server-authoritative replay or physics validation and does not guarantee that every score is genuine. Players manage leaderboard data and any historical internal-test Saved Games data through Google's controls as explained on the deletion page. Career reset, clearing local Bamboo Pinch data and Google-side deletion are separate operations.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

• harm or interfere with the game, service, players or their data;
• knowingly submit falsified, malicious or manipulated scores;
• bypass security limits, automate abuse or overload a service;
• redistribute the game or commercially exploit protected material without permission;
• use the game unlawfully or infringe another person's rights.

Any restriction must be proportionate and limited to the affected online feature. Mandatory remedies remain available, and an error can be challenged through support.

6. Advertising

The free game may display interstitials at natural breaks and offer optional rewarded videos. Refusing or closing a rewarded video does not remove the normal reward. Bamboo Pinch has no real-money in-app product or subscription; the cosmetic Shop spends only shurikens earned through play. Shurikens have no monetary value, cannot be transferred or cashed out, and are not refundable in money.

7. Privacy and providers

Processing, recipients, retention, transfers, choices and rights are described in the privacy policy. The release uses Google Play, Play Games, Google Mobile Ads, UMP and OVHcloud for static-website hosting. Provider terms do not reduce ANETH SOFTWARE's non-excludable responsibilities.

8. Availability and changes

ANETH SOFTWARE uses reasonable efforts to maintain the game and online features but does not promise uninterrupted availability. Maintenance, updates, device limits, platform changes and third-party outages can affect optional services. Necessary conformity and security updates are supplied for the period required by law. A lasting discontinuation, relevant security incident or non-minor negative change is announced in advance on a durable medium where required, except for urgent security action. Statutory rights continue to apply.

9. Liability and mandatory rights

To the extent permitted by law, ANETH SOFTWARE is responsible for direct and foreseeable loss caused by a breach attributable to it. No limit in these terms applies to statutory conformity guarantees for digital content or services, mandatory security and update duties, personal-data protection, personal injury, gross or intentional fault, or any right that cannot lawfully be limited. A provider outage or loss of data excuses ANETH SOFTWARE only where applicable law permits it.

The French reference terms reproduce the statutory digital-content and continuous digital-service conformity notices required by the French Consumer Code. Those mandatory rights also apply to this convenience translation where French consumer law governs.

10. Age

Bamboo Pinch is intended for adults. Its Google Play target audience is limited to ages 18 and over, outside the Families program. Availability can vary by country. The publisher must review these terms, the privacy notice, advertising configuration and Play Console together if the intended audience changes.

11. Term updates

Terms may change for a legal, security, technical or service reason. The date above identifies the version. A material update will be communicated on a durable medium before it takes effect where required, except for urgent security action. A non-conformity change with a non-minor negative impact carries the choices and remedies required by law and will not retroactively remove acquired rights. The user may end the contract at any time and without charge by ceasing use and uninstalling the game.

12. Law, complaints and mediation

French law applies without depriving consumers of more protective mandatory rules in their country of residence. First send a written complaint to contact@aneth-games.com. If unresolved, the consumer may refer it free of charge, within one year and subject to eligibility, to CM2C, 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, litiges@cm2c.net, using its online form. Mandatory rules determine the competent court.
