The App is rated 9+ on the Apple App Store and has a comparable rating on Google Play. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18 in the United States), you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using the App, you represent that you meet these requirements.
Important: These Terms constitute a legal agreement between you (the end user) and Soul Branch, LLC only. Apple Inc., Google LLC, and any other platform providers are not parties to these Terms and have no responsibility for the App or its content, except as expressly stated in Section 17 (Third-Party Beneficiary).
You acknowledge that:
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Soul Branch, LLC grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App for your personal, non-commercial use on any device that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules of the Apple App Store or Google Play (whichever applies). Apps made available through the App Store and Google Play are licensed, not sold, to you.
You agree NOT to:
You agree that Soul Branch, LLC and its service providers may collect and use technical and usage data — including, but not limited to, information about your device, system and application software, gameplay events, crashes, and ad interactions — to facilitate the operation of the App, deliver software updates, provide product support, and improve the App. Our collection and use of this information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
The App is free to download and use. Some features and content are available only through an optional paid subscription ("Pickled Pro" or any successor name).
Subscription purchases are processed through the Apple App Store (on iOS) or Google Play (on Android). When you purchase a subscription:
Subscription prices are displayed in the App and may vary by region and currency. We may modify subscription prices in the future. Where required by law, we will provide advance notice of price changes and an opportunity to cancel before the change takes effect.
We may offer free trials or promotional pricing from time to time. Eligibility, duration, and conversion to paid subscription are described at the time of the offer. If you do not cancel before the free trial ends, your subscription will automatically begin and your account will be charged.
The free version of Pickled displays advertisements served by Google AdMob. Subscribers to Pickled Pro may experience reduced or no advertisements depending on the subscription tier.
On iOS, we instruct AdMob to serve only non-personalized ads. We do not collect Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA), we do not link the AppTrackingTransparency framework, and you will not see an iOS "Allow Tracking" prompt.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the App will display a consent form (provided by Google's User Messaging Platform) the first time you launch it. You can change your consent at any time by opening the App, tapping the Menu tab, and selecting Legal → Privacy options.
We do not control the content of advertisements served by third-party ad networks. We are not responsible for the products, services, or content advertised, and any interaction you have with an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser.
You agree to use the App only in a manner consistent with these Terms and all applicable laws. You agree NOT to:
All content, features, and functionality of the App — including text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, video, software, game mechanics, card designs, and the "Pickled" and "Soul Branch" names — are the exclusive property of Soul Branch, LLC or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries.
You may not use any of our intellectual property without our prior written permission, except as necessary to use the App as licensed under these Terms.
The App lets you create your own custom card decks on your device. These decks are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to us. You retain all rights you have in the decks you create. You are responsible for ensuring that the content you create complies with applicable law and does not infringe any third party's rights.
The App incorporates services and software from third parties, including Apple, Google, Firebase, AdMob, and RevenueCat. Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms imposed by those third parties. You are responsible for complying with all applicable third-party terms, including but not limited to:
We are not responsible for the acts, omissions, content, or terms of any third party.
Soul Branch, LLC is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App as required by these Terms or by applicable law. Apple, Google, and other platform providers have no obligation to provide any maintenance or support. For support inquiries, please contact us at contact@playpickled.app.
In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple or Google (whichever is the applicable platform provider). The platform provider may, at its option, refund the purchase price for the App (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the platform provider has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of Soul Branch, LLC.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. SOUL BRANCH, LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SOUL BRANCH, LLC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS ANY STATUTORY CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SOUL BRANCH, LLC OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:
SOUL BRANCH, LLC'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE APP OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50.00).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Soul Branch, LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:
Soul Branch, LLC, not the platform provider (Apple or Google), is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including but not limited to: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession or use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Soul Branch, LLC — not the platform provider — will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim, to the extent required by these Terms.
You acknowledge and agree that Apple Inc. and Google LLC, and their respective subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple and Google will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as third-party beneficiaries.
You may not use, export, re-export, import, or transfer the App except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the App was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the App may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals List or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list.
These Terms remain in effect until terminated by you or by us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice and with or without cause, including if we believe in good faith that you have violated these Terms. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App.
Upon termination:
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the App will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws apply, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by those mandatory laws.
Before filing any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at contact@playpickled.app and try to resolve the dispute informally. Most disputes can be resolved this way.
If we are unable to resolve a dispute informally, you and Soul Branch, LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as set out in Section 21.4. The arbitration will be held in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, or, at your election, by phone or video conference. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and Soul Branch, LLC agree that any dispute will be brought in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the above, you and we may bring a claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for the infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights. Nothing in this section prevents you from bringing issues to the attention of any federal, state, or local agency.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose laws give you the right to bring a dispute in your local courts and prohibit pre-dispute arbitration agreements, the arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions above do not apply to you.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do:
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Soul Branch, LLC concerning the App and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or proposals, whether oral or written.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, pandemics, accidents, network or power failures, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
