Terms of Service

Effective September 30, 2026

Acceptance of Terms

Learn to Play Cards ("the app") is published by The Peninsular Company, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company based in Detroit ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and The Peninsular Company, LLC. By downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the app.

License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for personal, non-commercial purposes on any Apple device that you own or control, subject to Apple's App Store Terms of Service.

This license does not allow you to:

• Copy, modify, or distribute the app or its content
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app
• Use automated tools to access or scrape app content
• Sublicense, rent, or lease the app to any third party
• Use the app for any unlawful purpose

In-App Purchases

The app offers a one-time in-app purchase ("Remove Ads"), priced in your local currency on the App Store. This is a non-consumable purchase that permanently removes all advertising from the app.

• All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms and pricing.
• You can restore your purchase on any device signed in with the same Apple ID.
• Refund requests must be directed to Apple, as we do not process payments directly.

Educational Content

The app provides educational content about card games, including rules, strategies, and terminology. This content is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.

• We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy, but card game rules can vary by region, house rules, and tradition.
• The app does not provide gambling advice and should not be used as a basis for wagering decisions.
• CardIQ scores and ranks are internal metrics for tracking your learning progress and do not represent any official certification.

Intellectual Property

All content in the app — including lessons, quizzes, illustrations, card designs, text, and the CardIQ scoring system — is owned by The Peninsular Company, LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.

Some artwork comes from third parties: licensed illustrations, and historical playing cards from museum and library collections that are in the public domain or openly licensed. These remain subject to their own terms and are credited in the app under Settings → Acknowledgements.

Traditional card game rules themselves are in the public domain, but our specific presentation, explanations, and educational materials are original works.

Third-Party Services

The app integrates with the following third-party services, each governed by their own terms. How they handle information is described in our Privacy Policy.

• Apple Game Center — For leaderboards and achievements. Subject to Apple's Terms of Service.
• Google AdMob — For serving advertisements in the free version. Subject to Google's Terms of Service.
• TelemetryDeck — For anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off in Settings. Subject to TelemetryDeck's terms.
• Formspree — For receiving optional lesson feedback you choose to send. Subject to Formspree's terms.
• YouTube — For embedded how-to-play videos. Subject to YouTube's Terms of Service.
• Apple StoreKit — For processing in-app purchases. Subject to Apple's App Store terms.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, The Peninsular Company, LLC and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the app.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or the app shall not exceed the amount you paid for the app or in-app purchases in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the app at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these terms or is harmful to other users or the app. Upon termination, your license to use the app is revoked.

Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or the app will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in the State of Michigan, and you and we agree to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. This section does not take away any rights you have under the consumer protection laws of the place where you live.
