Terms of Use — Poker Paw
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Pando Studio LLC (“we”, “us”, “the developer”) governing your use of the Poker Paw application and related services (“the App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. What Poker Paw is (and is not)
Poker Paw is a poker study and training tool for No-Limit Hold’em. It provides practice tables against computer opponents, an AI coach, drills, statistics, and skill-based competitions.
Poker Paw is not gambling. All chips, scores, and results are simulated. There is no real-money wagering, no cash deposits, no cash prizes, and no cash-out of any kind. Competitions are for skill practice and bragging rights only. Nothing in the App is an offer to gamble.
Poker Paw is for educational and entertainment purposes. It does not provide gambling, financial, or investment advice, and results in the App do not guarantee results in any real game.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 17 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the App. By using it you represent that you meet this requirement.
3. Your account
Some features (competition leaderboards, friends) require an account via Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for activity under your account. Choose a display name that is not offensive, impersonating, or infringing; we may reset names that violate this.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Cheat in or manipulate competitions — this includes playing a competition more than once, using multiple accounts to gain an advantage, watching another run before making your own attempt, or using automated tools/bots to play or submit. Competitions run on an honor system, and we may disqualify results or suspend accounts that break it.
- Reverse-engineer, tamper with, or attempt to bypass the App’s security, verification, or usage limits.
- Upload or share content (including display names or shared hands) that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, infringing, or otherwise objectionable.
- Use the App in violation of any applicable law.
5. AI coaching
The AI coach generates feedback using a third-party AI model (Anthropic’s Claude). Its output may be incomplete or incorrect and is provided “as is” for study purposes. Do not rely on it as professional advice. You are responsible for your own decisions.
6. Subscriptions and payments
The App may offer an auto-renewable subscription (“Pro”).
- Billing is handled by Apple through your App Store account. Price and available terms are shown in the App before purchase.
- Auto-renewal: an auto-renewable subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Managing / cancelling: manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms; we do not process payments and generally cannot issue refunds directly.
- A free tier is available. Features included in the free vs. paid tier may change over time; we will not remove access to a purchased subscription period you have already paid for.
7. User content
You retain ownership of content you create (such as your display name and any hand you choose to share). By using competition and social features, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store and display that content as needed to operate the App (for example, showing your display name and result on a leaderboard you entered). You can remove your content and account as described in the Privacy Policy.
8. Intellectual property
The App, its design, code, and content (other than your user content) are owned by the developer and protected by law. You get a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purpose. You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works from it except as allowed by law.
9. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that coaching output will be accurate.
10. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or USD $50.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms (for example, cheating in competitions). You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms; the “Last updated” date will change, and material changes will be surfaced in the App or on this page. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where local consumer-protection law requires otherwise.
14. Apple
This App is made available through the Apple App Store. Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App or its content. The Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula) also applies to your use of the App as a third-party beneficiary; where it conflicts with these Terms, these Terms govern except as required by that agreement.
