Orchard Terms of Service
1. About these terms
Orchard, also called Orchard Mobile, is provided by Viento Modeling, Simulation & Analysis LLC, operating as Viento Games ("Viento," "we," or "us"). These terms cover use of Orchard and its optional online profiles and rankings. They do not govern Viento's other applications or websites.
We will make these terms available before asking a player to accept them. A parent or guardian must review and agree to these terms on behalf of a child who cannot legally enter into an agreement independently, where required by applicable law. A parent or guardian's agreement does not enable online access for a player who does not meet the eligibility requirements below.
2. Local play and online eligibility
Orchard supports local play without an online account. It is designed for ages six and up. Local play includes personal best scores, Easy Mode, and settings.
Optional online profiles and rankings are offered only to eligible players aged 16 or older who reside in the United States or a European Union member country. The on-device eligibility check and a separate choice to enable online features are required. Players must provide accurate eligibility answers and must not bypass the check or help someone else bypass it. A parent's permission does not override the online eligibility requirements.
Players who do not qualify, or who do not want online features, can continue playing locally. See the Orchard Privacy Policy for the age-check process and information practices.
3. App licenses, purchases, and ownership
The license supplied with your app download and the applicable store's rules govern installation and permitted use of that copy. For downloads from Apple's App Store, Apple's Standard License Agreement governs the app license. For Google Play downloads, the applicable Google Play terms and license supplied with the download continue to apply. These terms address Orchard's use and optional services alongside those arrangements. They do not replace Apple's Standard License Agreement or create a custom app-store EULA. If these terms conflict with a mandatory store-license provision, that provision controls to the extent of the conflict.
Any store purchase, payment, refund request, or family-sharing entitlement remains subject to the applicable store terms and your rights under law. This document sets no price and does not remove any refund or other consumer remedy you are entitled to. Orchard currently has no advertising or in-app purchases, as described in its privacy policy.
Orchard is a digital adaptation of Orchard Solitaire by Mark Tuck, made with Sideroom Games and Mark Tuck. The game, artwork, names, and other materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. Playing the game does not transfer those rights to you. Nothing here restricts rights granted by applicable law or by a separate license, including a license for an open-source component.
4. Profiles and fair play
Your online profile name and submitted scores can be visible to other players. Choose a nickname that does not reveal your real name, email address, birth date, or other personal information. Do not impersonate another person or use a name that infringes another person's rights or contains threats, harassment, or unlawful content.
When using online features, do not:
- Submit fabricated scores or manipulate rankings through exploits, automation, or unauthorized changes.
- Access another player's account without permission or misuse account-linking information.
- Disrupt the services, bypass access controls, or introduce malicious code.
- Use the services for unlawful activity or to infringe another person's rights.
Keep profile access and linking information private. If you believe a profile has been compromised or a ranking has been manipulated, contact Viento using the address below. Orchard does not provide player chat or direct messaging.
5. Privacy and account deletion
The Orchard Privacy Policy explains local storage, optional Unity services, public profile names and scores, support messages, and privacy choices. Accepting terms does not replace any separate choice required to enable online features.
You can stop online participation and continue playing locally. Signing out, disabling online features, or uninstalling does not itself delete records held by online services. Use Settings → Delete Online Account to request removal of the current online profile and its live scores, or contact Viento for help with an inaccessible or older account. The privacy policy explains the deletion process and its limits.
6. Service operation and changes
Online features depend on internet access and third-party services. Temporary interruptions can occur. We may need to update the game or online features to fix defects, protect players, or meet legal requirements. Players remain responsible for any network charges under their own service plans.
For a material reduction or closure of online features, we will give reasonable advance notice where practicable, explain the effect on profiles and scores, and provide an opportunity to request deletion. Urgent security or legal action may require a faster response. Any change must respect applicable consumer rights and obligations associated with a paid download.
7. Restricting online access
We may restrict an online profile or remove affected ranking entries when reasonably necessary to address ineligibility, fraudulent scores, misuse, or a security threat. Any restriction should be proportionate to the issue. Where practicable and lawful, we will explain the reason and allow the player to contact us for review. We may act immediately when needed to protect the services or other players.
An online restriction does not, by itself, remove local play. Account deletion and privacy requests remain available subject to the verification and retention limits described in the privacy policy.
8. Consumer rights and responsibility
Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that applicable law does not allow us to exclude. This includes applicable rights concerning digital content and services. Viento remains responsible for obligations that cannot legally be transferred to an app store or service provider.
These terms do not add a warranty exclusion, a limit on Viento's liability, or an obligation for you to indemnify Viento. Any applicable app-store license remains subject to your mandatory rights under law.
9. Resolving concerns
Please contact Viento with questions or complaints so we can try to resolve them. This request does not prevent you from using a regulator, court, store process, or other remedy available under law.
These terms are governed by the laws of New Mexico, United States, except to the extent that applicable law requires otherwise. This choice does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections provided by the law of your country or state of residence.
Disputes may be brought before a competent state or federal court in New Mexico. If applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim in the courts where you live, that right remains available. Nothing in these terms requires arbitration, waives a right to participate in a class action, or prevents an eligible small-claims proceeding.
10. Updates to these terms
We will identify the effective date of a published version and give reasonable advance notice of material changes before they take effect, except when a faster change is required for security or legal reasons. Where renewed acceptance is required, we will provide an appropriate opportunity to review and accept the revised terms. Changes will not be treated as retroactive consent to new information practices, and your mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
