Cat Garden Terms of Service

Version: 2026-11-02　Effective: November 2, 2026

Welcome to Cat Garden (the "Game"). These Terms are an agreement between you and the operator of the Game, the developer shown on the Game's App Store page ("we", "us"). By tapping "Agree & Start", you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

If you are under 18, please read these Terms with a parent or guardian and use the Game only with their permission. See Section 7 of the Privacy Policy for children under 13.

1. The Game

1. The Game is a casual game where you grow flowers, collect cats and decorate your garden. Your progress is saved on your device and synced to our servers (cloud save).

2. Online features include guest accounts, email or phone accounts, cloud save, mail, announcements, friends, garden visits and flowers, the Charm Ranking, redeem codes and customer support.

3. We may change, add or remove features and events. Important changes will be announced in the Game.

2. Accounts

1. On first launch, the Game automatically creates a guest account for this device. A guest account may be lost if you uninstall the Game, clear its data, switch phones or reset your device, so we recommend linking an email address (players in mainland China can also link a phone number).

2. Keep your email and phone secure and never share verification codes. Actions completed with your verification code are treated as your own.

3. Accounts are for your personal use only. Do not lend, transfer or sell them.

4. You can switch accounts at any time, or request account deletion in Settings > Account & Cloud Save > Delete Account (see Section 6 of the Privacy Policy).

3. Virtual Items and Purchases

1. Coins, gems, cats, outfits, furniture, event tokens, pass rewards and other items are virtual items. You receive a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use them in the Game, not ownership. Virtual items have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money or traded outside the Game.

2. Some rewards can be claimed for free a limited number of times per day (for example, Free Coins, Daily Free Gems and one free gacha pull per day). The amounts and daily limits shown in the Game apply, and we may adjust them.

3. In the iOS app, you pay through Apple In-App Purchase, charged to your Apple ID; prices are shown before you buy. On the U.S. App Store, you may instead choose to pay with Stripe: the Game opens a Stripe checkout page in your web browser, with prices in U.S. dollars. After paying, return to the Game and the items will be delivered to the account you are logged in to; you can also claim them on other devices logged in to the same account. Paying with Stripe requires you to be logged in.

4. Items are delivered as soon as payment is confirmed. If delivery is interrupted, it is retried automatically the next time you open the Game. If you still have not received your items, please contact us.

5. Refunds: purchases made through Apple are refunded by Apple under Apple's policies (reportaproblem.apple.com). For purchases made through Stripe, email us and we will handle your request under applicable law. If a refund is granted, we may remove the items delivered for that purchase. Except as required by law or stated in these Terms, all purchases are final.

6. Gacha gives items at random. The drop rates for each rarity and the pity rules are published on the in-game "Drop Rates" page, so you can check them before spending. Apart from the pity rules, each pull is independent.

7. Minors need a parent or guardian's permission before making purchases. Spending limits for minors in mainland China are described in Section 8 of the Privacy Policy.

4. Rules of Conduct

Please do not:

1. Use cheats, hacks, bots, scripts or modified clients, or gain an unfair advantage by changing your device clock or exploiting bugs;

2. Attack or disrupt our servers, mass-register accounts, or take over other players' accounts;

3. Send illegal, harassing, abusive, sexual or spam content, including in customer feedback;

4. Sell or trade accounts or virtual items;

5. Break any law or infringe anyone's rights.

If you break these rules, we may remove the related virtual items, restrict features, or suspend or terminate your account, depending on how serious the violation is. If you disagree with an action, email us to appeal.

5. Intellectual Property

The Game's software, design, art, text and sound belong to us or our licensors. Do not copy, modify, distribute or use them commercially without permission. If you send us suggestions through customer feedback, we may use them to improve the Game without paying you.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

1. We try to keep the service stable, but it may be interrupted, or data may be affected, because of device, network, maintenance, third-party service (such as payment) or force-majeure issues. We will do our best to fix problems.

2. The Game is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses.

3. We will help recover lost guest accounts where we can, but recovery may not be possible.

4. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws of the place where you live that cannot be waived.

7. Ending the Service

If we stop operating the Game, we will announce it in the Game at least 30 days in advance and handle paid content you have bought but not used in accordance with applicable law.

8. Apple

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the Game and its content, and Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Game or to handle any claims relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the Game must also follow the App Store Terms of Service.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and will change the version and date above. For important changes, we will tell you in the Game. If you do not agree, you may stop using the Game; if you continue to use it, you accept the updated Terms.

10. Governing Law and Disputes

1. If you have a dispute with us, please email us first, and we will try to resolve it informally.

2. These Terms are subject to the mandatory laws of the place where you habitually live; otherwise, they are governed by the laws of the operator's place of business.

3. For players in mainland China, these Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China (excluding the laws of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan). If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it may be brought before the competent people's court at the operator's location.
