4. In-App Purchases and Premium Upgrade

Safe Word offers a one-time purchase ("Premium Upgrade") that removes advertisements and unlocks additional in-game features. All purchases are processed by the Google Play Store and are subject to Google Play's terms and refund policies.

Payment

By completing a purchase, you authorize Google Play to charge the payment method associated with your Google account. ApexBox does not directly process or store any payment information.

Restore Purchases

If you reinstall the App or install it on a new device, you can restore your Premium Upgrade at no additional cost using the Restore Purchases function within the App. The same Google account used for the original purchase must be active on the device.

Refunds

Refund requests must be submitted directly to Google Play within the applicable refund window. ApexBox does not process refunds directly. To request a refund, visit Google Play order history.

No Guarantee of Availability

We reserve the right to modify, discontinue, or alter the features included in the Premium Upgrade at any time. In the event of a material reduction in features, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users.

5. Virtual Items and In-Game Currency

Safe Word may include virtual in-game items such as Undos, Hints, and Word Changes ("Virtual Items"). Please note:

6. Advertising

The free version of Safe Word displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. By using the free version, you consent to the display of these advertisements. Purchasing the Premium Upgrade removes all in-app advertising.

We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements displayed within the App. The display of an advertisement does not constitute an endorsement by ApexBox of the advertised product or service.

7. Intellectual Property

The App and all of its original content — including but not limited to the game name "Safe Word," game mechanics, visual design, artwork, audio, code, and the ApexBox brand — are the exclusive intellectual property of ApexBox and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.

Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of our intellectual property to you. Feedback, suggestions, or ideas you submit to us may be used by ApexBox without obligation or compensation to you.
