Terms of Service
These terms (“Terms”) apply when you download or use the KhelMandala mobile app (“KhelMandala”, “the app”), which is published by Manicod (“we”, “us”). By using the app you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app. If you have any question, email support@manicod.com.
- KhelMandala is free. It has no in-app purchases and is paid for by ads.
- You must be 13 or older to use it.
- Coins, XP, levels and other in-game items are part of the game. They have no cash value and can’t be sold, traded or exchanged for money.
- Play fair: no cheats, bots, modified apps or multiple accounts to climb the leaderboards.
- Be decent to other players. Pick a respectful nickname, and don’t harass anyone in voice chat.
- The weekly XP contest has its own Contest Rules, which apply alongside these Terms.
- You can delete your account at any time.
- Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection law where you live.
1. Who can use KhelMandala
You must be at least 13 years old to use KhelMandala. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the app only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms for you. To claim a prize in the XP Contest you must be 18 or older, as the Contest Rules explain.
2. Your account
- When you first open the app, we create an account for you automatically, so you can play without signing up. Your progress is saved to that account.
- You can sign in with Google to keep your progress on your Google account. Signing in is optional for offline play. It is required to play online multiplayer matches and to win the XP Contest.
- You are responsible for what happens on your account. Don’t share it, and don’t sell, transfer or lend it to anyone else.
- Use only one account. Creating extra accounts to gain an advantage on the leaderboards or in a contest is not allowed.
- If you uninstall the app without signing in, we may not be able to restore your progress.
3. Nicknames and what you share
You can choose a nickname, which other players see on leaderboards and in online matches. Your nickname must not:
- be offensive, hateful, sexual, threatening or abusive;
- pretend to be another person, a member of our team, or an organisation;
- contain someone else’s personal information, links or advertising; or
- infringe someone else’s trademark or other rights.
We may change or remove a nickname that breaks these rules, without notice.
4. Online play and voice chat
- Online multiplayer matches are run by our server, which decides dice rolls and checks every move. The server’s record of a match is final.
- Voice chat is optional and only available inside online rooms. Your voice goes directly to the other players’ phones; we don’t record it. Because of that, you are responsible for what you say.
- Don’t harass, threaten, bully or abuse other players, use hate speech, share sexual content, or try to get personal information from anyone. Be especially careful with players who may be younger than you.
- You can mute, block or report any player. We act on reports, and we may switch off a player’s microphone, remove them from online play or suspend their account.
- Online play needs a working internet connection. A match may end early if a player disconnects or our server is unavailable.
5. Coins, XP and in-game items
- KhelMandala has no in-app purchases. You earn coins by playing, through achievements and daily rewards, and by choosing to watch rewarded ads. You earn XP only by playing.
- Coins, XP, player levels, achievements, leaderboard positions and items you unlock (together, “in-game items”) are a licence to use those features inside the app. They are not your property, they have no cash value, and they can’t be bought, sold, transferred, traded or exchanged for money, real-world goods or anything outside the app.
- Any attempt to sell or trade in-game items or accounts, inside or outside the app, breaks these Terms.
- We may adjust how much coins, XP or rewards a game gives, change prices for in-game items, or correct balances that were earned through a bug, an error or a breach of these Terms.
- In-game items are lost when your account is deleted, and may be lost if we stop offering the app (section 12).
6. Ads
KhelMandala is free because it shows ads, provided by Google AdMob. Some ads are rewarded ads, which you choose to watch for coins or game help such as hints. Watching an ad never earns XP and never improves your leaderboard position or your chance of winning a contest. Ads are provided by third parties, and we are not responsible for the products or websites they promote. How ads use your information is explained in our Privacy Policy.
7. Leaderboards and the XP Contest
- Leaderboards rank players by the scores and XP our server has recorded. We may remove scores or reset a leaderboard if we find cheating, a bug, or a technical fault.
- The XP Contest is governed by the Contest Rules. If the Contest Rules and these Terms disagree about the Contest, the Contest Rules apply.
- Google is not a sponsor of the XP Contest and is not involved in it in any way.
8. Fair play
To keep KhelMandala fair for everyone, you must not:
- use cheats, bots, scripts, macros, automation, or modified or unofficial versions of the app;
- exploit bugs or glitches to gain an advantage (please report them to us instead);
- arrange the results of online matches with other players;
- interfere with, overload, probe or attack our servers, or try to reach parts of our service you aren’t meant to;
- copy, decompile, reverse-engineer or modify the app, except as the law allows; or
- use the app for any unlawful purpose.
9. What happens if you break these Terms
If we have reasonable grounds to believe you broke these Terms, we may, depending on how serious it is: warn you; remove scores, XP, coins or in-game items earned unfairly; remove you from leaderboards or a contest; remove you from online play or voice chat; or suspend or close your account. Where we can, we’ll tell you why. If you think we made a mistake, email support@manicod.com and we will review it.
10. Our content
KhelMandala, including its games, artwork, music, sound effects, text, logos and code, belongs to Manicod or the people who licensed it to us, and is protected by copyright and other laws. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download the app and play it on your own devices for your own non-commercial entertainment. You may share screenshots and videos of your gameplay. KhelMandala and the KhelMandala logo are ours; please don’t use them in a way that suggests we endorse you or your content.
11. Your privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it and the choices you have. Please read it — it is part of how the app works.
12. Changes to the app
We keep improving KhelMandala, so games, features, rewards and rules may change. We may add or remove games, and we may need you to update the app to keep playing. We may also stop offering KhelMandala altogether; if we do, we will try to give reasonable notice in the app first.
13. Ending your use of the app
You can stop using KhelMandala at any time. You can delete your account and its data in the app, under You → Delete account, or by email, as described on our Delete your account page. Deleting your account permanently removes your progress, coins and in-game items, and can’t be undone.
14. Disclaimers
KhelMandala is a free game, provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep it running and fair, but we can’t promise that it will always be available, free of errors, or that your progress will never be lost because of a technical problem. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties beyond those set out in these Terms.
15. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Manicod is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of in-game items, progress or data, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability to you for any claim about the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (which, because the app is free, is normally nothing) and INR 1,000.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability where the law doesn’t allow that, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
16. Your consumer rights
Manicod provides KhelMandala as a trader. If you are a consumer, you have legal rights under the consumer protection laws of the country where you live, including in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Nothing in these Terms takes away or limits those rights, and where a part of these Terms conflicts with them, those laws apply instead.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the app changes or when the law requires. We’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we’ll also tell you in the app before they take effect. If you keep using KhelMandala after the change takes effect, the updated Terms apply. If you don’t agree to them, you can stop using the app and delete your account.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. If you have a complaint, please email us first — most problems can be solved quickly that way. If we can’t resolve it, the courts of India will have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in another country, you may also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and the mandatory laws of that country continue to protect you.
19. General
- If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
- If we don’t enforce a part of these Terms straight away, we can still enforce it later.
- We may transfer these Terms to another company if KhelMandala is sold or merged. Your rights under them won’t be reduced by that.
- These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and, if you join the XP Contest, the Contest Rules, are the whole agreement between you and us about KhelMandala.
