The App is made available to you strictly for personal use only, unless agreed by Memory Lane Games Limited in writing. You may not download, use or access the App for corporate or business purposes without our express prior written consent. Doing so will constitute a breach of these terms and in such a circumstance we reserve the right to cease to make the App available to you.

These Terms of Use, together with the documents referenced herein (collectively the “Terms”), apply to Memory Lane Games Limited’s (“MLG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) software application and the content, features, software, related technology and services therein (the “App”). MLG permits you to use the App subject to these Terms and any applicable rules applied by Apple Inc. (“App Store Rules”) and Google Inc. (“Play Store Rules”) with respect to the use of their App Store and Play Store, respectively (the “App Stores”). You (“you” or “your”, the App user) may, and hereby agree to, only utilise the App in accordance with these Terms.

1. IMPORTANT NOTICES:

Please read these Terms carefully before downloading, installing or using the App. By downloading, installing, accessing, browsing or using the App, you accept and agree to these Terms which bind you legally. The Terms are entered into for the benefit of MLG and MLG may enforce them against you. If you do not agree to these Terms you are not permitted to use the App and you must immediately cease downloading, installing or using the App.
The App allows certain users to select, upload, store and share content, including but not limited to photos and videos, or any other material, text, slides, negatives and information or other data through the App (“Submitted Content”). Although the App may be downloaded and installed free of charge through the App Stores and provide certain free features, you may also subscribe monthly (for the applicable subscription fee as shown in the App and/or our website before subscribing) for access to additional features to personalise any Submitted Content.
If you experience any technical issues with the App, or you would like to contact us regarding these Terms, you may contact MLG by sending an email to [email protected].
In order to use the App, you must have a compatible device. MLG does not guarantee that the App, or any portion thereof, will function on any devices. Any compatible device to which you download the App will be known as a “Device” for the purposes of these Terms. You confirm that you either own the applicable Device or if not owned by you, you have obtained permission to install and use the App on such Device. You accept responsibility for any use of the App on or in relation to such Device, whether or not such Device is owned by you or such use was made by you.

2. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

These Terms apply to the App, including any updates or supplements thereto. MLG may change or revise these Terms from time to time in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you.

Your access and use of the App will be subject to the most current version of the Terms. Your use of the App after such revised Terms are made available will signify your acceptance of such revised Terms and your agreement to be bound by them. If you do not accept the modifications, please stop accessing and using the App.
From time to time, updates to the App may be made available through the App Store and Play Store. Depending on the update, and whether you utilised the App Store or Play Store to download and access the App, you may not be able to use the App until you have installed the latest version thereof.
