Terms of Use.

Who we are

Toxic Chain Studios is an independent game studio run by Armin Yousefinaserkhani in Antalya, Türkiye. These terms are an agreement between you and Toxic Chain Studios. By installing or playing our games, or by using this website, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use our games or this website.

Playing Toxic Pyramids

• You must be at least 13 years old to play. If you are under 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian.
• The game needs an internet connection. Your account is created automatically and your progress is saved on our server. You can link it to Google Play Games (Android) or Game Center (iPhone) to keep it on a new phone.
• Your player name is chosen from names given by the game; you cannot type your own name.
• The game is free to play and shows ads. Rewarded ads are always your choice.
• We keep improving the game. Features, levels, prices, rewards and timers can change in updates or on our server. If we ever have to stop the game, we will tell players in the game in advance where we reasonably can.

Fair play

The game and the monthly competition are only fun if everyone plays fair. You must not:

• cheat, use bots or automated play, modify the game, or use bugs or exploits to gain points, coins, gems or rewards;
• fake ad rewards or purchases, or interfere with our server;
• use several accounts, or share, buy or sell accounts, to influence the leaderboard or the Hall of Fame;
• harass other players, or use offensive, illegal or misleading content (for example in a linked Instagram account or a video link).

If we find cheating or abuse, we may remove points, rewards or items, remove the player from the leaderboard or the Hall of Fame, or suspend or close the account. Where possible we explain why, and you can write to us if you think we made a mistake.

Virtual items and purchases

• Coins, gems, stones, upgrades and other game items are a limited licence to use them in the game. They have no real-money value, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be transferred to another account, except where the law requires otherwise.
• Purchases are made through Google Play or the App Store and follow their terms. Our server checks every purchase before the items are added. Refunds are handled by Google or Apple under their refund policies; this does not limit your legal rights.
• Worker upgrades bought in the campaign do not count in Endless mode, so money cannot buy a better place in the monthly competition.
• If an item is lost because of an error on our side, contact us with your player name and we will look into it.

The monthly Hall of Fame contest

Every player who plays Endless mode takes part automatically, for free. The top 3 players of each month get a place in the Hall of Fame. The complete and binding rules are the official contest rules in the game (Hall of Fame → RULES). Apple and Google are not sponsors of the contest and are not involved in it.

Your content

• Instagram username: adding it is optional. If you add it and agree, other players can see it and open your profile. You can change or remove it at any time.
• Video links: if you send us a link to your gameplay video, you confirm that the video is yours and follows the rules of the platform it is on. You allow us to show its title, picture and link in the game's Creators room and on our channels, with credit to you. If your video is chosen, we ask you separately before we use the video file itself.
• You can ask us at any time to remove something you shared with us.

Our content

The games, artwork, music, characters, names and this website belong to Toxic Chain Studios or its licensors. You may use the game for your own personal, non-commercial play. You may not copy, sell, reverse engineer or redistribute the game or its files. Gameplay videos and streams are welcome, including monetised ones on your own channels, as long as you do not suggest that we sponsor or endorse you without our permission.

Ending your account

You can delete your Toxic Pyramids account at any time in the game: Main Menu → DELETE ACCOUNT. When an account is deleted, its progress, items and purchases cannot be restored. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms.

Liability

We work hard to keep the game running and fair, but the game and this website are provided as they are, and we cannot promise that they will always be available or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, Toxic Chain Studios is not responsible for indirect losses, or for losses caused by third-party services such as app stores, ad networks or social media platforms. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your mandatory rights as a consumer.

Other services

Our games and channels use services of other companies, including Google Play, the App Store, Unity, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them. How we handle your data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and the courts of Antalya are competent. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country and can use the courts there where the law allows. Please contact us first: most problems can be solved quickly by email.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update this page and the date at the top. Important changes may also be announced in the game. If you keep playing after a change, the new terms apply.
