Block Wreck!

Terms of Service

Last updated: August 22, 2026

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Side Hat Ventures LLC ("Block Wreck," "we," "us," or "our"), 344 Grove St #4213, Jersey City, NJ 07302, United States.

They govern your access to and use of the Block Wreck! mobile game (the "App"), the website at www.blockwreck.com including the playable browser demo (the "Website"), and any related content or services (together, the "Services").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, or by using the Website, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. Your license to the App software is separately described in our End User License Agreement, which is incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

We may update these Terms. If we do, we will post the revised version here and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes take effect when posted, and your continued use after that constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Services, except as provided in section 24(f).

2. What the Services are

Block Wreck! is a single-player block puzzle game for iPhone. You drag pieces onto a grid, and filling a row or column end to end clears it. A burning fuse creates the time pressure: it drains as you play and refills when you clear lines. The game is a 200 level campaign organized into themed bands that introduce embers, gems, stone, frost and more, with a boss level every fifth level, all played on the same 8 by 8 board, alongside Endless Mode, a score chase with no finish line.

The Website hosts marketing information about the App and a free browser demo of the core mechanic. The demo is a simplified promotional version, it is not the App, and its balance and behavior may differ from the App.

The Services are provided for your personal, non-commercial entertainment.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services, or the minimum age required in your country to consent to the processing of personal data where that age is higher. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Services only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and accepts responsibility for your use, including any purchases.

If you are a parent or guardian permitting a child to play, you are responsible for supervising that use, and we strongly recommend enabling Ask to Buy through Apple Family Sharing or restricting in-app purchases in Screen Time. See sections 6 and 7.

4. License to the App

Subject to these Terms and the EULA, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download and use one copy of the App on an Apple-branded device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Your use is also subject to the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

5. No account, local progress

Block Wreck! has no accounts and no sign-up. You do not give us a name, an email address, or any other contact information to play. Your progress, coins, lives, cosmetics and settings are stored on your device.

This is deliberate, and it has a consequence you should understand: because there is no account, there is no server-side copy of your progress and no way for us to identify, recover, restore, or transfer it. See section 14.

6. Buying through Apple

All purchases in the App are made through the Apple App Store using your Apple Account. Apple is the merchant of record and processes all payments. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

The App offers one-time purchases and one optional auto-renewing subscription:

Type	What it is
Coin packs	Consumable purchases that add coins to your balance. Coins are spent inside the game and are used up.
Vault Key	A consumable purchase that opens the Wreck Vault and pays out the coins it has collected.
Themes	Non-consumable cosmetic purchases that change the board and block palette.
Clear effects	Non-consumable cosmetic purchases that change how a cleared line detonates.
Essential Pack	A non-consumable supporter purchase.
Wreck Pass	An optional auto-renewing monthly subscription, described below.

The Wreck Pass subscription

The Wreck Pass is an auto-renewing subscription billed to your Apple Account at the price shown in the App before you buy. It renews automatically each month until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in your device settings under Subscriptions, or from the manage option in the game; to avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple's terms govern billing, renewal and cancellation.

While your subscription is active, the Wreck Pass unlocks the premium side of the season track, removes rewarded ad offers, and provides the other benefits described in the App, including a one-time welcome gift on first purchase. Season track cosmetics you have already claimed remain yours if your subscription ends; all other Wreck Pass benefits stop when the subscription ends.

Non-consumable purchases and an active Wreck Pass subscription are tied to your Apple Account and can be restored on a device signed in to that same Apple Account using the restore option in the shop. Consumable coins are not restorable, which is a limitation of how consumable purchases work on the App Store, not a policy choice.

Refunds. Because Apple is the merchant of record, all refund requests are handled by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. We cannot issue refunds, reverse a purchase, or restore coins. To request a refund, use reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory right of withdrawal or refund you may have under the consumer law of your country.

Prices are shown in the App in your local currency, are set by us within Apple's pricing tiers, and may change at any time. Taxes are handled by Apple. Any promotional offer, including a first-purchase coin bonus, applies only as described in the App at the time of purchase and may be modified or withdrawn for future purchases.

7. Coins and virtual items

You agree that:

• virtual items cannot be redeemed for cash, goods, or anything of value outside the game;
• you may not sell, gift, trade, transfer, rent, or sublicense virtual items, or offer to do so, whether for real money or otherwise, and any such transaction is void;
• you have no ownership or property interest in virtual items, and no right to a refund of unused coins;
• we may change, rebalance, remove, or discontinue any virtual item, its price, its earn rate, or its usefulness at any time, as described in section 15;
• your license to virtual items ends when your license to the App ends, when you delete the App, or if the App is discontinued;
• we may remove virtual items obtained through error, exploitation of a bug, unauthorized modification of the App, or any breach of these Terms.

Certain cosmetic items are earned through play milestones and are intentionally never purchasable. We may adjust which items fall into that category.

Progress on a Wreck Pass season track, like all other progress, is stored on your device. When a season ends, the track resets for the new season, and the track, its rewards, and its length may change between seasons. Rewards you have already claimed from a track are yours to keep under the same license as every other virtual item.

8. Lives, the fuse and balance

The App uses a lives system. Starting a level attempt you have not yet cleared consumes a life, replaying a level you have already cleared does not, and lives regenerate over time up to a maximum. You may also spend coins to refill lives or to extend the fuse during an attempt.

Level difficulty, fuse drain rates, score targets, coin rewards, daily reward amounts, life regeneration timing, power-up effects and prices are game balance values. We may change any of them at any time in an update, including in ways that make the game harder, cheaper, or more expensive. Balance changes are not a defect and do not entitle you to a refund.

9. Reward spins are not gambling

The game includes reel-based bonus features, such as the spin shown after you clear a level for the first time and bonus spins triggered during play. To be unambiguous:

• No real money is ever wagered, staked, or lost on a spin. Spins are awarded through play and are not purchased.
• Prizes are virtual only. A spin can award in-game coins, a life, a power-up, or a cosmetic. It never awards money, cryptocurrency, physical goods, or anything redeemable for value outside the game.
• No purchase is necessary to receive or use a spin.
• Outcomes are determined by the App on your device according to weightings we set, and those weightings may change between versions.
• Practice or success at these features does not imply future success at any real-money activity.

These features are provided for entertainment only and are not gambling, a lottery, a sweepstakes, or a game of chance for money or value.

10. Advertising

The App shows optional rewarded video ads supplied by a third-party advertising provider, currently Google AdMob. An ad is offered only as an alternative to spending coins, plays only when you choose it, and is capped at a small number of offers per placement per day. Nothing in the game can be obtained only by watching an ad. What an ad request shares about your device, and the choices you have about it, are described in our Privacy Policy.

You agree that:

• ad inventory is not always available, and an offer may not appear if no ad is ready. A reward is granted when the provider reports that the ad was watched to completion;
• ad content is selected by the advertising provider, not by us. We restrict ads in the App to a general audiences content rating, and you can report an inappropriate ad to us at the address in section 26;
• we may change or remove ad placements, adjust the daily caps, change providers, or stop showing ads entirely at any time;
• you may not interact with ads fraudulently, use automation to view or click them, or interfere with how they are requested or displayed.

The Wreck Pass subscription removes rewarded ad offers, and subscribers who want the rewards can turn the offers back on in Options.

11. The invite program

The App may let you share a referral code with another player and grant in-game coins to both of you when a code is redeemed, subject to limits shown in the App, including a cap on how many referrals can be rewarded and a rule that a player may redeem only one code.

You agree not to abuse this feature, including by redeeming your own code, creating installations solely to farm rewards, spamming your code, or using automation. We may modify, suspend, or end the invite program at any time, and may revoke rewards obtained through abuse.

12. Leaderboards and fair play

Block Wreck! has two kinds of leaderboard. Apple Game Center is optional, operated by Apple under Apple's terms and privacy policy, and requires signing in to Game Center on your device. Our own global leaderboard is part of the game and ranks every player, including players who do not use Game Center. What it publishes about you, and how to remove yourself from it, are described in our Privacy Policy.

You agree not to submit scores obtained by cheating, by modifying the App or your device's memory or clock, by using emulators or automation tools, by calling our servers other than through an unmodified copy of the App, or by exploiting a bug.

We may remove scores and entries. Where we believe on reasonable grounds that a score was not produced by ordinary play, we may hold it for review, decline to publish it, remove it from any board, remove the entry entirely, or block an identifier from posting further scores. We may do this without notice, because a board that has to wait to act is not a board anyone can trust. A score held for review is not deleted, and an unusually good run will not be removed simply for being unusual.

Nicknames on the global leaderboard are generated by the game rather than chosen by you. Where a Game Center nickname is shown instead, we may replace it with a generated name if it does not pass our word screen. You may report a name shown on a board by contacting us at the address in section 26.

A leaderboard position carries no monetary value, confers no prize, and may be reset, recalculated, or retired at any time, including the weekly board's scheduled reset. We do not control Game Center and cannot guarantee the availability of either board.

13. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the App, or reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble it, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, purchase verification, or game logic, including by patching the binary, using memory editors, or using modified or jailbroken system software to obtain items you did not pay for or earn;
• use bots, scripts, macros, or automation to play the game or interact with the Services;
• submit scores to any leaderboard other than by playing the game on an unmodified App, or attempt to post to, read from, overload, or probe our leaderboard servers by any other means;
• attempt to impersonate another player, or to place any text on a leaderboard that you were not offered by the game;
• obtain coins or items through any means other than playing the game or purchasing them through the App Store;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App, or use it to provide a commercial service such as paid boosting;
• remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
• use the Services in violation of any applicable law, or in any way that damages, disables, or impairs them or interferes with any other party's use.

14. Progress and data loss

You are responsible for maintaining your own device backups. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the loss of game progress or virtual items for any reason.

15. Changes to the game

We may, at any time and without notice or liability: add, change, or remove levels, mechanics, features, items or content; adjust game balance and the in-game economy; issue updates or require a minimum App or iOS version; or suspend or discontinue the App, the Website, or any part of the Services entirely.

If we permanently discontinue the App, your license to it and to all virtual items ends, and, except where required by applicable consumer law, you will not be entitled to compensation for unused virtual items.

16. Intellectual property

The Services, including the App software, the name Block Wreck!, the logo, the artwork, the level designs, the sounds and music, the user interface, and all other content, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in section 4, nothing in these Terms transfers any right, title, or interest to you.

You may take screenshots or record video of your own gameplay and share it, including monetized streaming or video content on platforms such as YouTube or Twitch, provided you do not imply that we sponsor or endorse you, do not use our marks as your channel identity, do not distribute the App itself or any of its assets as standalone files, and do not create anything that is a substitute for the App.

17. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Services, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use it for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.

18. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the Services. You may end them at any time by deleting the App and stopping use of the Website.

We may suspend or terminate your license and access, with or without notice, if you materially breach these Terms, if we suspect fraud or abuse, or if we discontinue the Services. Sections 7, 14, 16, 17 and 19 through 25 survive termination.

19. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT YOUR GAME DATA WILL BE PRESERVED, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY PARTICULAR DEVICE OR FUTURE VERSION OF iOS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our warranties are limited to the minimum extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms affects your non-waivable statutory consumer rights.

20. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOST GAME PROGRESS, LOST VIRTUAL ITEMS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, DEVICE DAMAGE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US OR THROUGH THE APP STORE FOR THE APP AND IN-APP PURCHASES IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) TWENTY-FIVE U.S. DOLLARS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.

21. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Side Hat Ventures LLC and its officers, members, employees and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

22. Apple terms

The following applies because you obtained the App from the Apple App Store:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that the App or your use of it infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

23. Governing law

These Terms and any action related to them are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Except as set out in section 24, the exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that you and we are not required to arbitrate is the state and federal courts located in New Jersey, and each party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue there.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the protection of mandatory local consumer rules, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of those rules or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence.

24. Dispute resolution

a. Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration or a court action, please email legal@blockwreck.com describing the dispute and the relief you want. We will try in good faith to resolve it with you for 30 days.

b. Binding individual arbitration. You and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services ("Disputes") will be resolved solely by binding individual arbitration, and not in a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. You and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury and to participate in a class action. This section survives termination.

c. Exceptions and opt-out. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief from a court to protect its intellectual property. You may opt out of arbitration entirely by emailing legal@blockwreck.com with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out," or by writing to Side Hat Ventures LLC, 344 Grove St #4213, Jersey City, NJ 07302, within 30 days after you first accepted these Terms. Include your name, a contact email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

d. Rules and costs. Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, available at adr.org, as modified by these Terms. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether it proceeds on documents only, by telephone or video conference, or at an in-person hearing. Any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you live unless both parties agree otherwise. Filing, administration and arbitrator fees are governed by the AAA Rules, and we will pay those fees and expenses for claims under $10,000 unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous.

e. Class action waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If this specific provision is found unenforceable, the entirety of this section 24 is null and void.

f. Effect of changes. If we change this section 24 after the date you most recently accepted these Terms, you may reject the change by emailing legal@blockwreck.com within 30 days of the change becoming effective, in which case this section as of your most recent acceptance continues to apply.

25. General

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the EULA, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.

Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions stay in full force.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control.

Governing language. These Terms were drafted in English, and the English version controls over any translation.
