Ridzon Games

Terms & Conditions

Effective 6 November 2026

These terms apply to the Tiny Observatory app for iPhone and iPad (the “Application”), made by Daniel Ridzoň, a sole trader in the Czech Republic trading as Ridzon Games (the “Service Provider”). By downloading or using the Application, you agree to them.

If you downloaded the Application from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. These terms add to it and do not replace it.

Your licence

The Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the Application on devices you own or control, for your personal use. You may not copy, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Application, or create derivative versions of it, except as far as the law expressly allows.

Intellectual property

The Application, its code, design, art, name and logos belong to the Service Provider. These terms give you no right to use the Service Provider’s name, logos or branding. Astronomical data and images credited to third parties in the Application remain theirs, under their own licences.

Age

You must be at least 16 to accept these terms yourself. If you are younger, a parent or legal guardian must review and accept them for you.

Using the Application

• The Application works offline. It uses an internet connection only to send the anonymous usage statistics and crash reports described in the Privacy Policy. Any data charges from your mobile provider are yours.
• Your game is saved on your device. Keep your device secure and backed up; the Service Provider keeps no copy of your game and cannot restore it.
• The sky in the Application is calculated for your location and is meant to be accurate, but it is a game, not a navigation or scientific instrument. Do not rely on it where a mistake could cause harm. Never look at the Sun through binoculars or a telescope without a proper solar filter.
• The Application does not let you post content to other users. Plates you share leave the Application through your device’s share sheet, under the terms of whatever service you share them to.
• The Service Provider advises against jailbreaking your device, which can make the Application stop working correctly.

Changes and updates

The Service Provider may change, update or stop offering the Application, and may charge for features in the future. Any charge will be clearly shown before you pay, and in-app purchases are handled by Apple. Updates may be needed to keep the Application working on newer versions of iOS; the Service Provider does not promise to support every version.

Ending your use

You can stop using the Application at any time by deleting it. The Service Provider may end your licence if you seriously breach these terms. When your licence ends, you must stop using the Application and delete it.

Liability

The Application is provided free of charge and “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service Provider is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of game progress. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing in them limits your rights as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the Czech Republic. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in its courts.

Changes to these terms

The Service Provider may update these terms. The updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Previous versions are available on request.
