Terms of use

Welcome to Tankt! These terms are the ground rules for playing the game and using this website. By playing, you agree to them, so please give them a read. They sit alongside our privacy policy.

Who can play

Tankt is made for everyone. If you're under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), please go through these terms with a parent or guardian, and get their OK before using friend features or making purchases. Parents and guardians are responsible for how their children use Tankt, including any purchases.

Your keeper account

• Tankt creates a keeper account for you automatically when you go online. You don't need an email or password.
• Your progress is saved on your device and backed up to the cloud when you're connected. Link Game Center (iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Games (Android) if you'd like to restore your account on a new device.
• We work hard to keep your progress safe, but we can't promise we'll always be able to restore lost progress, especially if the game has been deleted before it could back up.
• Your account is just for you. Please don't sell, share or trade accounts.

Being a good friend

Visiting tanks, lending a helping hand and leaving notes are what make Tankt feel alive. To keep it friendly for everyone, including younger players, please:

• Be kind. No bullying, harassment, threats, hate or mean-spirited notes.
• Keep it clean. No rude, violent or grown-up content in keeper names, tank names, creature names or notes.
• Keep personal details private. Don't share your own or anyone else's full name, address, school, phone number, email or social media handles, and don't ask other keepers for theirs.
• Share your friend code only with people you know.
• Be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone else, including us.
• No spam, advertising or links to other services.
• Play fair. Don't cheat, hack, use bots, exploit bugs or interfere with other players or our servers.

If something doesn't feel right, you can remove a friend at any time from the Friends screen. To report a note, a name or a keeper, email tanktapp@gmail.com with their keeper name or friend code and what happened. We read every report and aim to act quickly.

If someone breaks these rules, we may remove content, reset names, limit friend features, or suspend or close their account, depending on what happened.

Things you create

The tanks you design, the names you give your creatures and the notes you write are yours. By using Tankt, you give us permission to store them and show them to your friends (and, for notes, to your friends' friends who visit that tank) so the game works. That permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for anything we're required to keep by law. Please only post things you have the right to share.

The game itself

Tankt, including its creatures, art, music, code and name, belongs to us and our licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to download and play Tankt on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial enjoyment. Please don't copy, resell, modify or reverse-engineer the game, except where the law allows it.

You're welcome to share screenshots and videos of your tanks, stream the game, and use the materials in ourpress kit.

Virtual items and purchases

• Virtual items are for playing. Coins, pearls, creatures, catalysts, plants, decorations and other in-game items are a licence to use them in Tankt. They aren't real money or property, have no cash value, and can't be exchanged, sold or transferred for real money or anything outside the game.
• The app stores handle payments. Purchases are made through the App Store on iPhone and iPad or Google Play on Android, and follow that store's terms. For refunds, please useApple's refund request pageorGoogle Play's refund help. If a purchase doesn't show up in the game, email us and we'll help.
• Capsules are random. The capsule machine gives you a random creature. The odds for each rarity are shown in the game before you use it.
• Promo codes can be redeemed once per keeper, may expire, and have no cash value.
• The game will change. We may adjust prices, rewards and how items work to keep Tankt balanced and fun.
• Families: Apple'sAsk to Buy and Google'sFamily Link let parents approve purchases before they happen.

Updates and availability

Tankt is always growing. We may add, change or remove features, creatures and events over time. Online features need an internet connection and may sometimes be unavailable for maintenance or reasons outside our control. If we ever decide to shut down Tankt's online services, we'll give reasonable notice in the game first.

Taking a break or leaving

You can stop playing at any time. To delete your keeper account and its data, seeyour choices in our privacy policy. We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or where we need to in order to protect other players or follow the law.

The legal bits

We want Tankt to be a calm, reliable little world, but like most software it's provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, or that your progress will never be lost.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect or unexpected losses from using Tankt, and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Tankt in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.

If a dispute ever comes up, please email us first. Most things can be sorted out with a conversation. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where Tankt is based, unless the law where you live says otherwise. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.

App stores

If you downloaded Tankt from the App Store, Apple'sLicensed Application End User License Agreementalso applies. If you downloaded it from Google Play, theGoogle Play Terms of Servicealso apply. These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. Neither is responsible for Tankt or its support, but Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms as third-party beneficiaries.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Tankt grows. We'll change the date at the top, and if a change is significant, we'll let you know in the game before it takes effect. If you keep playing after that, you're agreeing to the updated terms.
