Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 11, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your use of Paw Merge Idle (the "App") provided by Appazzola LLC ("Appazzola," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms.

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of Paw Merge Idle. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Your use of the App is also subject to:

If there is a conflict between these Terms and mandatory law or mandatory app-store terms, the mandatory rule controls only to the extent of the conflict.

2. Eligibility

You may use the App only if you can form a binding agreement with us, or if your parent or legal guardian agrees to these Terms for you and is responsible for your use.

The App is not directed to children under 13 and is not intended for use by children under 13. If you are a parent or legal guardian allowing another person to use the App on your device, you are responsible for that use, purchases made through your store account, and reviewing these Terms and the Privacy Policy with them as appropriate.

You may use the App only in compliance with applicable law.

3. License

Subject to these Terms and applicable app-store rules, we grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download, install, access, and use the App for personal, non-commercial entertainment use on devices you own or control.

We and our licensors reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. These Terms do not transfer ownership of the App or any content, virtual item, virtual currency, account, save data, or service to you.

4. Acceptable Use

You may not:

5. Accounts, Guest Mode, Saves, and Progress

The App may support local play, anonymous Firebase play, Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, and cloud save where Firebase services are available. You are responsible for maintaining control of any device, platform account, sign-in provider, email account, or store account used with the App.

Local saves may be lost if you delete the App, clear app data, reset your device, change devices, sign out to a new guest account, overwrite progress, or use a different account. Cloud saves may help restore progress but are not guaranteed to be available, current, error-free, conflict-free, or compatible with all future versions.

We may suspend, reset, modify, or remove access to accounts, progress, rewards, saves, purchases, subscriptions, virtual currency, virtual items, or App features if we reasonably believe there has been cheating, fraud, unauthorized automation, abuse, payment reversal, chargeback abuse, security risk, app-integrity failure, platform-policy issue, legal issue, or violation of these Terms.

We are not responsible for loss of progress caused by device failure, app deletion, unsupported devices, account changes, service outages, store account issues, user error, or third-party service failures, except where required by law.

6. Virtual Currency, Virtual Items, and Game Content

The App may include virtual currency and virtual items, including catnip, gems, stars, free spawns, boosts, rewards, cosmetics, room items, decor, themes, passes, subscriptions, remove-ads benefits, and other unlocks.

Virtual currency and virtual items are licensed, not sold. They have no real-world cash value, are not your property, and are not redeemable, transferable, refundable, withdrawable, or exchangeable for money, goods, services, or anything else of value except where required by law or expressly allowed by the platform.

Gameplay actions may intentionally consume, reset, convert, change, or remove virtual currency, virtual items, or progress. For example, prestige, upgrades, boosts, cosmetic purchases, daily rewards, timers, or balance changes may alter your game state.

We may change, rebalance, limit, suspend, remove, replace, reset, or discontinue virtual currency, virtual items, rewards, game content, events, progression systems, ad rewards, subscriptions, prices, or features at any time for game balance, security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, store compliance, technical operations, or business reasons. We are not required to provide compensation for these changes except where required by law.

7. In-App Purchases

The App may offer one-time purchases, consumables, non-consumables, and subscriptions. Current or planned examples include Cat Club monthly subscription, remove-ads benefits, starter packs, catnip packs, gem packs, boosts, cosmetics, passes, and other unlocks.

Purchases are processed by Apple App Store and/or Google Play and may be managed through RevenueCat. Prices, taxes, billing, payment methods, trial eligibility, product availability, cancellation, refunds, chargebacks, family sharing, purchase history, and store account issues are governed by the platform through which the purchase is made.

Product names, descriptions, pricing, quantities, and benefits shown in the App should match the relevant store listing, but store metadata controls where required by platform rules or law. Prices and availability may vary by platform, country, currency, tax rules, exchange rates, promotions, and store settings.

Some purchases or entitlements may require an internet connection, store account, Firebase account, RevenueCat entitlement check, or platform receipt validation to buy, grant, sync, or restore access.

If a purchase fails, is canceled, is refunded, is charged back, cannot be validated, or is suspected to be fraudulent or abusive, we may withhold, revoke, remove, or adjust the related entitlement, virtual currency, virtual item, reward, or account access where permitted by law.

8. Subscriptions

If the App offers subscriptions, subscription terms are displayed in the App and/or the relevant app store before purchase. Subscriptions may renew automatically unless canceled through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings before the renewal deadline required by the platform.

Deleting the App, signing out, starting a new guest account, or stopping use of the App does not cancel a subscription. You must cancel through the store account that purchased the subscription.

Subscription benefits apply only while the subscription entitlement is active, unless the product description says otherwise. Benefits may include ad-related benefits, bonus income, daily rewards, offline reward cap changes, cooldown changes, cosmetics, passes, or other gameplay benefits.

If a subscription expires, is canceled, is refunded, is charged back, cannot be validated, or payment fails, we may remove or suspend subscription benefits. You may retain some progress or items already earned through gameplay where the App's design allows, but ongoing subscription benefits require an active entitlement.

Free trials, introductory offers, promotional pricing, grace periods, pauses, billing retry periods, refunds, and cancellation timing are controlled by Apple or Google and may vary by platform, country, account eligibility, and store rules.

9. Refunds and Purchase Support

Apple and Google generally control refunds for purchases made through their stores. To request a refund, use the refund tools provided by the store where you purchased.

You may also email [email protected] for purchase-support issues. We may ask for information needed to locate the transaction, such as platform, product ID, approximate purchase date, order ID or transaction ID, Firebase user ID, RevenueCat app user ID, and screenshots or receipts where appropriate.

We cannot guarantee refunds, restore purchases across different store accounts where platform rules do not allow it, or override Apple or Google refund decisions except where the platform gives us that ability and applicable law permits it.

10. Advertising and Rewarded Ads

The App may display third-party ads, including rewarded ads and interstitial ads. Ad partners may collect and process data as described in our Privacy Policy and their own policies.

Rewarded ads are optional. Rewards are granted only after the App receives confirmation that the ad was completed or otherwise qualifies for a reward. Closing an ad early, ad-load failure, network failure, SDK error, invalid traffic, consent restrictions, unavailable inventory, or other technical issues may prevent a reward from being granted.

Ad availability is not guaranteed. We may limit, disable, rebalance, or remove ad placements, ad rewards, cooldown skips, boosts, or other ad-related benefits for security, fraud prevention, technical issues, platform-policy compliance, legal compliance, user experience, or game balance.

Remove-ads benefits, if offered, may remove some third-party ads but may not remove all ad-related prompts, optional rewarded placements, sponsorships, cross-promotions, store messages, or legally required notices unless the product description says otherwise.

11. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use guest mode, Firebase authentication, sign-in providers, cloud save, ads, analytics, crash reporting, in-app purchases, subscriptions, and support. By using the App, you acknowledge that information will be processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Leaderboards, Display Names, Reports, and Social Features

The App may offer public or semi-public leaderboards. Leaderboard rows may show a display name, score, rank, and related board information to other signed-in players. The App may automatically assign a guest display name, and you may be able to choose or edit a leaderboard display name.

Display names and report reasons must not be unlawful, infringing, deceptive, hateful, harassing, threatening, obscene, sexually explicit, exploitative, abusive, defamatory, privacy-invasive, malware-related, spam, or otherwise inappropriate. You may not impersonate another person, imply an affiliation you do not have, evade moderation, coordinate false reports, or use display names or reports to harass other players.

We may reject, reserve, remove, replace, restrict, or require changes to display names. We may remove leaderboard rows, force a rename, suspend leaderboard access, ban an account from leaderboards, or take other moderation action if we reasonably believe a display name, report, score, account, or leaderboard activity violates these Terms, platform rules, or the integrity of the App.

Leaderboard scores are subject to validation and may be withheld, reduced, removed, or ignored if they are not plausible, cannot be verified against save data, appear to result from cheating or automation, or are affected by errors, outages, refunds, chargebacks, balance changes, or moderation.

The current App does not offer public chat or open-ended user-generated public posts. If those features are added later, additional rules may apply.

13. Updates, Availability, and Changes to the App

We may update the App, change features, modify game balance, fix bugs, add or remove content, change ad placements or rewards, change purchase offerings, update SDKs, change compatibility, suspend online services, or discontinue the App or parts of it.

Continued use may require you to install updates. Some features may require internet access, platform services, Firebase, AdMob, RevenueCat, Apple, Google, or other third-party services.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility, backup, restoration, error-free operation, or continued support for any device, operating system, feature, event, virtual item, entitlement, account, save, or service.

14. Third-Party Services

The App may rely on third-party services such as Apple, Google, Firebase, AdMob, RevenueCat, identity providers, analytics providers, crash-reporting providers, and app-store systems. These services are not controlled by us, and their terms and policies may apply to your use of their services.

We are not responsible for third-party service outages, policy changes, account restrictions, billing decisions, refund decisions, data practices, SDK behavior, or platform requirements except where required by law.

15. Intellectual Property

The App, including its code, design, graphics, text, audio, artwork, gameplay systems, characters, cats, rooms, virtual items, economy, branding, and other content, is owned by Appazzola or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, publicly display, publicly perform, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit the App or its content except as expressly allowed by these Terms or applicable law.

Feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide may be used by us without restriction or compensation to you, unless prohibited by law.

16. App Store Terms

If you downloaded the App through Apple App Store, these Terms apply in addition to Apple's standard licensed application end user license agreement unless Appazzola provides a separate custom license agreement through App Store Connect.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms to the extent required by Apple's rules, and Apple may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary where applicable.

Apple is not responsible for providing maintenance or support for the App except as required by applicable law or Apple's own terms. Apple is not responsible for claims relating to the App except to the extent required by applicable law, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, consumer-protection claims, or intellectual-property infringement claims. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price for the App if required by Apple's rules or applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.

If you downloaded the App through Google Play, Google Play terms and policies may apply to downloads, purchases, subscriptions, refunds, account management, and device-level functionality.

17. Export, Sanctions, and Legal Compliance

You may not use, export, re-export, or transfer the App except as authorized by applicable law and platform rules. You represent that you are not located in a country or region subject to applicable embargoes or sanctions that prohibit your use of the App, and that you are not on any applicable prohibited-party list.

18. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend, limit, or terminate your access to the App or any feature if we reasonably believe:

Upon termination, your license to use the App ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions about virtual items, purchases, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law, and dispute-related terms.

19. Disclaimer

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND ERROR-FREE OPERATION, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We do not guarantee that the App, saves, cloud services, ads, purchases, subscriptions, entitlements, rewards, analytics, or third-party services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, restored, preserved, or compatible with your device or platform.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers. In those jurisdictions, disclaimers apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

20. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, APPAZZOLA AND ITS AFFILIATES, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, PROGRESS, VIRTUAL CURRENCY, VIRTUAL ITEMS, ACCOUNT ACCESS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR DEVICE FAILURE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US THROUGH THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) USD $50, OR IF GREATER, THE MINIMUM AMOUNT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

21. Indemnity

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Appazzola and its affiliates, members, managers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law, your violation of third-party rights, fraud, chargeback abuse, cheating, unauthorized automation, or content you submit if user-content features are added.

Some jurisdictions limit indemnity obligations for consumers. In those jurisdictions, this section applies only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

22. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless applicable law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.

Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights, courts located in Pennsylvania will have jurisdiction for disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or the App. These Terms do not require arbitration and do not include a class-action waiver. You and Appazzola may bring claims in small-claims court where the court has jurisdiction and the claim qualifies.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version at https://appazzola.com/terms/paw-merge-idle and update the effective date or last-updated date. We may also notify you in the App, through the app stores, or by other appropriate means.

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where required. Your continued use after updated Terms become effective means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law. If we require explicit acceptance for a particular update, the App may ask you to review and accept the updated Terms before continuing to use some or all features.

24. Miscellaneous

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and applicable app-store terms, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
