Riverside Files

Terms of Service

Effective date: August 8, 2026 · Last updated: August 25, 2026

This is a draft, not a filed agreement. The remaining bracketed fields are jurisdiction and entity-name choices that depend on how you register the business behind Riverside Files. Have someone qualified in your jurisdiction review this — and the companion Privacy Policy — before either goes live or gets submitted to an app store.

01 Acceptance of terms

By downloading, installing, or playing Riverside Files (the "Game"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, don't use the Game. These terms sit alongside — not instead of — the terms of whichever app store you downloaded the Game from (Apple App Store or Google Play), and alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains what data the Game collects and why.

If you're under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.

02 License to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment. This license doesn't give you any ownership in the Game, its code, or its content — only permission to play it under these terms.

You may not: reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the Game's assets or code except where a law gives you the right to do so anyway; redistribute, resell, rent, or sublicense the Game; use the Game to build a competing product; or circumvent any technical measure we use to protect it.

03 No account required

Riverside Files doesn't require you to create an account to play. Your progress — case fees, upgrades, hired detectives, and other saved state — lives locally on your device (see the Privacy Policy's "Local storage & offline play" section). With cloud save off, uninstalling the app or clearing its data will erase your progress, and we have no way to restore it.

Cloud save is optional and off unless you turn it on. If you enable it in Settings and sign in with Google or Apple, we keep one copy of your saved game so a lost or replaced device doesn't cost you your progress. Signing out leaves the copy on your device untouched; "Delete my data" in Settings erases both copies. We provide cloud save as a convenience and on a best-efforts basis — please don't treat it as a guaranteed backup of anything you'd be upset to lose.

04 In-app purchases & virtual items

The Game may offer virtual currency (Leads) and other virtual items for purchase with real money, processed entirely through Apple's or Google's payment systems — we never see or store your payment card details.

05 Advertising

The Game is supported in part by advertising, including rewarded ads you can choose to watch for an in-game bonus, and interstitial ads shown at natural breaks between sessions. Ads are served through third-party ad mediation — see the Privacy Policy's "Third-party services" section for the specific providers and what data they involve. We're not responsible for the content of third-party ads.

06 Acceptable use

You agree not to: use cheats, exploits, automation tools (bots), or unauthorized third-party software to gain an unfair advantage; interfere with the Game's normal operation or other players' ability to use it; or use the Game for any unlawful purpose.

07 Intellectual property

The Game — including its code, art, characters, writing, music, and design — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that ownership to you.

08 Disclaimer of warranties

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including — to the extent permitted by law — implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times, or that any particular content, feature, or your saved progress will be preserved indefinitely.

09 Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data (including lost game progress), arising out of or related to your use of the Game. Where liability can't be excluded, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the claim arose.

10 Termination

You can stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Game if you violate these terms, including the acceptable-use rules in Section 6. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 4 (forfeiture of virtual items), 7 (intellectual property), 8, and 9 — continue to apply after termination.

11 Changes to the app or these terms

We may update the Game — adding, changing, or removing content and features — and may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes to these terms, we'll update the effective date above and, where required by law, notify you through the app before the changes take effect. Continuing to use the Game after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

12 Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [your jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where local consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you additional rights these terms can't override.
