Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-24

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the DOTTRACKS mobile game and related services (the “App”). Please read them carefully. By installing or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. Provider

Sierco Böhler
Waldstrasse 37
4562 Biberist
Switzerland
E-mail: hello.dottracks@outlook.com
Web: https://dottracks.app

(the “Provider”, “we”, “us”).

2. Acceptance of these Terms

You accept these Terms when you confirm them on first launch of the App and/or when you install or continue to use the App. If we make material changes to these Terms, we may ask you to accept the updated version before you can continue using the App.

These Terms are provided in English, which is the binding language.

3. The Service

DOTTRACKS is a puzzle game in which you draw tracks to route coloured dots between stations. The App is currently provided free of charge. We may add, change, or remove features, levels, and content at any time. We do not guarantee that any particular feature or level will remain available.

4. Licence to use the App

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your own private, non-commercial entertainment. You do not acquire any ownership rights in the App. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by the Provider.

5. Acceptable use

You agree that you will not:

• copy, reproduce, extract, scrape, distribute, or publish the App’s levels, puzzle designs, artwork, code, or other content, in whole or in part;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code or level data of the App, except where such restriction is prohibited by mandatory law;
• modify, tamper with, or create derivative works of the App;
• use bots, automation, cheats, or exploits, or otherwise manipulate gameplay, ratings, or any backend service;
• use the App, its levels, artwork, code, or any other content as input, training data, fine-tuning data, retrieval data, or in any other way for the development, training, evaluation, or operation of generative artificial-intelligence or machine-learning systems, except where such use is permitted by mandatory law;
• misuse the in-app feedback function (e.g. to submit unlawful, abusive, infringing, or spam content);
• use the App for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms or applicable law.

6. Intellectual property

The App and all of its content — including but not limited to the source code, level designs and layouts, graphics, user interface, animations, text, the name “DOTTRACKS”, logos, and other trademarks — are owned by the Provider and are protected by Swiss and international intellectual property law. The level designs in particular are original works of the Provider. Except for the limited licence in Section 4, no rights are transferred to you.

7. Feedback you submit

The App lets you send feedback, including optional text, contact details, and screenshots. By submitting feedback, you grant the Provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it to operate, analyse, and improve the App. You are responsible for the content you submit and confirm that you have the right to share it. We are not obliged to use, respond to, or retain any feedback. We may use feedback without attribution, and this licence survives termination of these Terms. You agree to hold us harmless from third-party claims arising out of feedback you submit unlawfully or in breach of these Terms, to the extent such claims result from your fault.

8. Paid content, subscriptions, and in-app advertising

The App is currently free, contains no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no in-app advertising. We reserve the right to introduce any of the following in the future. If and when we do, we will update these Terms and the Privacy Policy accordingly, disclose all required information before activation, and — where required by law — obtain renewed acceptance or separate consent.

(a) One-off paid content. Premium level packs, themes, or similar one-off purchases. The transaction will be processed by the relevant app store (e.g. Google Play Billing), whose terms and billing apply in addition to these Terms. Prices and the scope of paid content will be shown before purchase. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

(b) Subscriptions. Recurring-payment subscriptions (for example, a premium tier with extra content). Before any subscription purchase, we will clearly disclose the price, the billing period, the renewal mechanism, the cancellation procedure, and any applicable trial conditions, in the manner required by Google Play and by applicable consumer law (including, for users in the EU/EEA, the Consumer Rights Directive and the Digital Content Directive). Subscriptions will not auto-renew without your prior informed agreement. You may cancel at any time through the relevant app store’s subscription management.

(c) In-app advertising. Advertisements served by an advertising network (such as Google AdMob or a comparable provider). Where ads use device identifiers, cookies, or similar tracking technologies, or involve cross-app behavioural advertising, we will — before such ads are shown — provide a separate consent flow for users in the EU/EEA, the UK, and Switzerland (as required by ePrivacy / PECR and applicable GDPR rules) and an opt-out mechanism for users in jurisdictions that grant one (such as California, Virginia, and other US states). We will also update the Privacy Policy with the identity of the ad provider, the data categories processed, and the legal basis before advertising is enabled.

Nothing in this Section activates any of these features today. As long as the App is offered free of charge with no purchases, subscriptions, or ads, only the general provisions of these Terms apply.

9. Right of withdrawal for digital content

Where you are a consumer and acquire digital content or digital services from us, you expressly request and consent that we begin providing the digital content/service immediately upon purchase, and you acknowledge that you thereby lose any statutory right of withdrawal (cooling-off period) once the content/service has been fully provided, in accordance with the applicable rules on the supply of digital content (cf. Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and equivalent provisions). This Section is relevant only once paid content is offered (see Section 8). Mandatory consumer protection rights are not affected.

10. Availability

The App is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Core gameplay works offline; some features (such as cloud progress sync, analytics, and feedback) require a network connection and third-party services. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always available, and we may suspend or discontinue the App or any feature at any time.

We are not liable for any failure or delay in providing the App that is caused by events beyond our reasonable control (force majeure), such as outages of third-party services, network or infrastructure failures, or acts of public authorities.

11. Updates and patches

We may provide updates, patches, bug fixes, or new versions of the App from time to time. Some updates may be required to keep the App functional, secure, or compliant with applicable law, and the App or certain features may stop working until the required update is installed. Updates may be distributed automatically by the relevant app store according to that store’s settings. We are not obliged to continue supporting older versions of the App.

12. Health and safety — photosensitive seizure warning

A very small percentage of people may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns, flashing lights, or colour patterns on a screen, including while playing video games. These conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures even in persons with no history of prior seizures or epilepsy.

If you or anyone in your family has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming gameplay if you or your child experience any of the following symptoms while using the App: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions.

To reduce the risk of discomfort, play in a well-lit room, sit at a reasonable distance from the screen, take regular breaks (at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour), and stop playing if you feel tired or unwell.

13. Sanctions for breach

If you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms — for example by cheating, using bots or exploits, manipulating ratings, or by scraping or republishing our levels — we may, at our discretion and where proportionate, take one or more of the following measures: reset or delete your cloud-saved gameplay progress, suspend or terminate your access to the App or its online services, refuse to process feedback from you, and/or take any other action permitted by applicable law. We will use the least intrusive measure that is appropriate. Your mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.

14. Changes to the App and to these Terms

We may update the App and these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect new features, legal requirements, or improvements. The current version is always available at https://dottracks.app/tos. For material changes we will seek your renewed acceptance in the App.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties not expressly set out in these Terms, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. This does not exclude or limit any warranties or rights that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law.

16. Limitation of liability

The App is provided free of charge. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the App and these Terms is limited to CHF 10.

This limitation does not apply to:

• damage caused by intent or gross negligence;
• injury to life, body, or health;
• liability under mandatory statutory provisions (e.g. mandatory product liability law);
• fraudulently concealed defects;
• any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory law.

Nothing in these Terms limits your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Provider from and against any third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise out of or are related to (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the App, (c) content (such as feedback or screenshots) you submit to us, or (d) your violation of applicable law or of the rights of any third party, in each case to the extent the claim is caused by your fault. We may, at our own expense, assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defence. This Section does not apply where it conflicts with mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence.

18. Export controls and sanctions

The App may be subject to export-control and economic-sanctions laws, including those of Switzerland, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. By using the App, you represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or territory subject to a comprehensive embargo by Switzerland, the EU, the UK, or the United States, and (b) you are not listed on any applicable sanctions or denied-party list, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of Specially Designated Nationals (OFAC SDN), the U.S. Commerce Department’s Denied Persons List, or the EU/CH/UK consolidated sanctions lists. You agree not to use, export, re-export, or transfer the App in violation of any applicable export-control or sanctions law.

19. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services, in particular Google Play (app distribution and, where applicable, billing) and Google Firebase (anonymous authentication, cloud storage, and analytics — subject to your settings as described in the Privacy Policy). Your use of those services is also subject to the respective providers’ terms. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not control them. See our Privacy Policy for how data is processed.

20. Minimum age

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority in your country), you may use the App only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

21. Term and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. You can also request deletion of your synced game data — see Delete Data. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or its online services if you materially breach these Terms or applicable law.

22. Data protection

We process personal data as described in our Privacy Policy. Provider details are set out in our Impressum.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to its economic purpose.

24. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, to an affiliate, a legal successor, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or by operation of law, provided that such assignment does not reduce your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer. We will give you reasonable notice of any such assignment.

25. No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms in a particular case is not a waiver of that right or provision in any other case. Any waiver of a right under these Terms is only effective if made in writing by the Provider.

26. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the in-app consent flows and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Provider regarding the App, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals (whether oral or written) on the same subject matter. No oral or side agreements exist. This Section does not exclude or limit any mandatory statutory rights you may have.

27. Survival

Sections that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms continue to apply — in particular Sections 4 (Licence), 5 (Acceptable use), 6 (Intellectual property), 7 (Feedback), 12 (Health and safety), 15 (Disclaimer), 16 (Limitation of liability), 17 (Indemnification), 18 (Export controls), 22 (Data protection), 23 (Severability), 24 (Assignment), 25 (No waiver), 26 (Entire agreement), 28 (Governing law), 29 (Dispute resolution and class action waiver), and 30 (Time limit for claims).

28. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of Switzerland, to the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The place of jurisdiction is Solothurn, Switzerland. If you are a consumer with habitual residence in the EU/EEA or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection, you also enjoy the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and this choice of law and forum does not deprive you of those protections.

29. Dispute resolution and class action waiver

We aim to resolve any concerns directly — please contact us first (see below). The European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform is no longer operative. We are not obliged to and do not participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. Your mandatory statutory rights and any right to bring proceedings before the competent courts remain unaffected.

Class action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Provider each agree to bring any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or related to the App or these Terms only in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, mass, or consolidated action. The arbitrator or court, as applicable, may not consolidate or join more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. Where the law of your country of residence does not permit such a waiver (in particular for consumers in the EU/EEA, the UK, or Switzerland to the extent local mandatory law applies), this paragraph does not apply to you and your statutory rights to participate in collective redress remain unaffected.

30. Time limit for claims

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim arising out of or related to the App or these Terms must be brought within two (2) years after the cause of action accrued, after which the claim is permanently barred. This Section does not shorten any longer limitation period that applies to you under mandatory law in your country of residence.
