Terms and Conditions of Use

1. Acceptance and capacity

Using the Service implies full and unreserved acceptance of these Terms and of the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of this agreement. You represent that you have the legal capacity to accept these Terms and, for games or apps with an age rating, that you meet the minimum age stated on the relevant store or platform listing (App Store, Google Play, Microsoft Store, gaming platforms, PEGI, ESRB or whichever rating applies). If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have sufficient authority to bind it.

2. Scope: products and platforms

These Terms apply across the Developer's entire catalogue and cover, as relevant:

• Mobile apps for iOS, iPadOS and Android.
• Desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux.
• Games for mobile, PC and browser.
• Browser extensions and web tools.
• The valladares.org website, its content and downloads.

Sections 5 to 10 set out terms specific to each type of product, and section 11 sets out terms specific to the platform and distribution channel. Only the sections covering the products you actually use apply to you. If a particular product has its own terms (an EULA, or an addendum published on its store listing or on its page within this site), those terms prevail solely as to what they expressly govern; in every other respect this document applies. Likewise, any mandatory conditions imposed by the store or platform you obtained the product from prevail where they conflict with these Terms.

3. Description of the Service

The Developer offers native and cross-platform applications, games, extensions and content of an informational, educational, utility and entertainment nature. The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. The Developer may add, modify, suspend or discontinue any feature, product, version or supported platform at any time and without prior notice.

4. Informational only — not professional advice

All content in the Service is provided for informational, educational and reference purposes only. Under no circumstances does it constitute professional advice or recommendations of a medical, legal, tax, financial, investment, regulatory-compliance or any other nature. Content may contain errors, be incomplete, be out of date or not apply to your particular situation.

Before making any decision, you must verify the information against official sources and consult a qualified professional. The decision to act (or not act) on the basis of the content is your sole responsibility.

5. Health apps

Health-related apps (for example, vaccination calendars, asthma guides, pollen monitoring and similar), on any platform, are intended purely for education and personal organization. They are not medical devices; they do not diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease and are no substitute for consultation, diagnosis or treatment by a healthcare professional.

• Do not use these apps to make clinical decisions or to delay, modify or discontinue any treatment.
• For any symptom, doubt or emergency, seek a healthcare professional or service immediately.
• The data you record is entered by you and its accuracy is your responsibility; reminders and alerts depend on the operating system and may fail, be delayed or not be delivered.
• The Developer is not liable for harm to health, injury, aggravation, medical decisions or consequences of any kind arising from the use or misuse of these apps.

6. Legal and reference apps

Apps that reproduce, explain or comment on regulations, statutes or official texts (for example, guides to Law 21,719 or access to legislation) are reference and study tools, not legal advice. Simulators, self-assessments, compliance percentages and fine estimates are indicative and approximate, and do not represent an official assessment or a guaranteed outcome.

• The only text with official standing is the one published by the competent authority. Always verify against the official source.
• Using these apps does not guarantee regulatory compliance and does not exempt you from liability before any authority.
• The Developer is not liable for penalties, fines, non-compliance or legal consequences arising from decisions made on the basis of the content.

7. Business and finance apps

Apps for calculation, quoting, rates, calendars or organization (for example, rate calculators or quote generators) provide indicative estimates and do not constitute financial, accounting or tax advice. Calculations, amounts, exchange rates, parameters and indicators may be out of date or inaccurate, and results must be validated by you and by a professional before being used for commercial, accounting or legal purposes. Documents you generate (quotes, reports, exports) are your sole responsibility, including their content and their use with third parties. The Developer is not liable for financial losses, calculation errors, business decisions or consequences arising from their use.

8. Desktop utilities and tools

Desktop applications for macOS, Windows and Linux (for example, video utilities, virtual cameras, productivity, automation or file-processing tools) run locally and may interact with your computer's hardware, peripherals, file system and other applications. By using them, you accept that:

• You are responsible for backing up your files and data before processing, converting, editing or overwriting them. The Developer is not liable for loss, corruption or alteration of files.
• Performance and compatibility depend on your hardware, drivers, operating system version and other installed software; conflicts may arise with antivirus software, firewalls, video drivers or virtualization software.
• If the tool captures or processes camera, microphone, screen or audio, you are solely responsible for obtaining the consent of the people involved and for complying with the applicable rules on recording, broadcasting and data protection in your jurisdiction.
• You are responsible for the content you produce, transmit or publish with these tools and for complying with the terms of the platforms where you use it.
• Installation may require elevated privileges, system components or extensions; you must review and knowingly accept them before proceeding.

9. Browser extensions

Extensions operate within your browser and only with the permissions declared on their store listing. They are auxiliary tools: they do not guarantee lasting compatibility with third-party sites, which may change their structure or block their operation at any time. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the extension complies with the terms of the sites you visit. The Developer is not liable for changes, blocks, account suspensions on third-party services, or removal of the extension by the store or the browser.

10. Games

The games offered, on mobile, PC or browser, are entertainment products. Casino-style or slot-machine games are social games with no real money: balances, coins, chips and prizes are virtual items with no monetary value, not redeemable or convertible into money or real goods, and do not constitute betting or real-money gambling. Success or performance in these games does not imply success at real-money gambling.

• Respect the age rating shown on each platform and use parental controls where appropriate.
• Virtual items are licensed for use within the game, are personal and non-transferable, are not owned by you, have no value outside the game, and may change or cease to be available if the game is updated or discontinued.
• Saved progress may be lost through uninstallation, a change of device, failure of the platform's cloud storage or major updates; its recovery and its portability between platforms are not guaranteed.
• Cheats, modifications, emulators, bots or tools that alter the game's operation or its outcomes are prohibited, as is exploiting bugs to gain an advantage.
• If a game includes online or multiplayer features, the conduct rules in section 17 also apply.
• Use of the games is voluntary and recreational; the Developer is not liable for time spent or for decisions taken on the basis of the entertainment.

11. Platform and distribution channel terms

In addition to the above, the following terms apply depending on where you obtain the product.

11.1 Apple App Store (iOS, iPadOS and macOS)

These Terms are entered into solely between you and the Developer, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Product or its content. The licence is limited to using the Product on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in accordance with the Usage Rules of the App Store Terms of Service. The Developer is solely responsible for maintenance and support; Apple has no obligation whatsoever in that regard. In the event of any failure to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the Product (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation. The Developer — and not Apple — is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Product, including product liability, regulatory compliance or consumer protection claims, as well as third-party claims of intellectual property infringement. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not listed on any restricted-party list. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

11.2 Google Play (Android)

The Product is downloaded and updated through Google Play, whose terms of service additionally govern the transaction. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Product; support and claims concerning the Product are the Developer's responsibility. Refunds are governed by the Google Play policy and by applicable consumer law. If the Product is also distributed through other Android stores or as a direct installer file (APK), that channel's conditions will apply where relevant; installing outside official stores is your sole responsibility.

11.3 Microsoft Store, gaming platforms and direct download (Windows, macOS and Linux)

Where the Product is distributed through the Microsoft Store, gaming platforms (such as Steam or itch.io) or other channels, the terms, account systems, licence management, refunds and community rules of that platform apply additionally; the platform is not a party to these Terms. If you download the Product directly from valladares.org:

• You must obtain it only from the official links; the Developer is not responsible for copies hosted on third-party sites, which may be altered or contain malicious software.
• The operating system may display security warnings (for example, SmartScreen or Gatekeeper) depending on the binary's signing or notarization status; it is up to you to decide whether to proceed with the installation.
• Installation, configuration and compatibility checks are your responsibility, as is keeping backups of your computer.

11.4 Website and browser-based products

The site and browser-based products are offered for personal and informational use. Their operation depends on the browser, its version and the user's configuration, and may vary or cease to be available. Compatibility with all browsers is not guaranteed, nor is the retention of data stored locally by the browser.

12. System requirements and updates

Each product states the minimum requirements for operating system, version and, where applicable, hardware on its listing or page. The Developer does not warrant operation on machines, versions, distributions or configurations that do not meet those requirements, nor on modified systems, systems with altered administrator privileges, jailbroken, rooted, emulated or virtualized environments.

The Service may receive updates that fix bugs, change functionality or modify requirements. Some updates may be required in order to keep using the product. The Developer may discontinue support for older versions of the product or of the operating system without this giving rise to any right to compensation.

13. Licence and permitted use

You are granted a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and to the rules of the relevant store or platform. The Service is licensed, not sold. You agree not to:

• Copy, modify, translate, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, redistribute, or reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Service or its code, except to the extent expressly permitted by law.
• Remove, obscure or alter copyright notices, trademarks, digital signatures or licensing mechanisms.
• Use the Service for unlawful or fraudulent purposes or in ways that infringe third-party rights.
• Attempt to breach security, introduce malware, overload or interfere with the proper operation of the Service or of third-party systems.
• Extract data automatically (scraping), train automated systems on the Service's content without authorization, or impersonate the Developer or third parties.
• Redistribute installers, packages, binaries or product files through unauthorized channels.

14. Third-party and open-source software

Some products may incorporate third-party libraries, engines, typefaces, sounds or components, including open-source components, subject to their own licences. Those licences are listed within the product or in its documentation and prevail over these Terms in respect of the component they govern. Your use of those components is subject to the conditions set by their respective owners.

15. Intellectual property

The Service, its code, design, interfaces, text, illustrations, music, trademarks, logos and other elements are the property of the Developer or of their respective owners and are protected by intellectual and industrial property law. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership right to you. Third-party trademarks mentioned (Apple, Google, Microsoft, distribution platforms and others) belong to their owners and are used for identification purposes only, implying no sponsorship or affiliation.

16. Purchases, payments and refunds

Products may offer optional in-app purchases, paid versions, licences or subscriptions. Those transactions are processed exclusively by the relevant store, platform or payment processor (Apple, Google, Microsoft, the gaming platform or the processor indicated), and are governed by their terms and policies. The Developer does not process or store payment data.

• Refund policies are those of the channel you purchased from; requests must be directed to that channel.
• Subscriptions, where they exist, renew automatically as stated at the time of purchase and are cancelled from the settings of the relevant store account.
• Purchases of virtual items in games correspond to items with no monetary value and are non-refundable except as the platform or applicable law provides.
• Prices may vary by country, currency and applicable taxes, and may change for future purchases.
• None of the above affects the non-waivable rights granted to you by consumer protection law.

17. User content and conduct

Where a product allows you to create, import, export or share content (files, text, images, recordings, nicknames or profiles), you retain the rights to your content and are solely responsible for its lawfulness and for holding the necessary authorizations. The Developer claims no ownership over it and does not access it, unless the product expressly states otherwise.

In online, multiplayer or community features, if any, you agree not to post unlawful, offensive, discriminatory, deceptive content, sexual content involving minors, or content that infringes third-party rights, and not to harass other users or disrupt the operation of the service. The Developer may suspend or terminate access to such features in the event of breaches, without prejudice to any legal action that may apply.

18. Service “as is” — no warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, currency, continuous availability, compatibility with specific hardware or systems, or freedom from error. The Developer does not warrant that the Service will be free from faults, interruptions, viruses or harmful components, that the results obtained will be correct or reliable, or that it will run without conflicts with other software installed on your machine. You use the Service at your own sole risk.

19. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Developer will not be liable, to you or to third parties, for any loss or damage of any nature arising from the use of or inability to use the Service, including, by way of example and not limitation:

• Direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.
• Harm to health, physical or psychological harm, injury or death.
• Harm to third parties, property, equipment, devices, peripherals or operating systems.
• Loss or corruption of data, files, saved games, settings, information, profits, revenue, opportunities, reputation or goodwill.
• Errors, inaccuracies or omissions in the content; decisions taken on the basis of it; fines or penalties.
• Interruptions, unavailability, technical failures, incompatibilities, software conflicts or losses caused by third parties, stores or platforms.

The foregoing applies even if the possibility of such damages had been advised. In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability, the Developer's liability will be limited to the minimum permitted by law and, in any event, will not exceed the amount you paid for the product in the last twelve (12) months (which in most cases is zero, as the products are free).

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold the Developer harmless from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (i) your use or misuse of the Service; (ii) your breach of these Terms; (iii) the infringement of third-party rights; (iv) content you create, transmit or publish using the Service; or (v) decisions you take on the basis of the content.

21. Links and third-party services

The Service may contain links to or integrations with third-party sites, content or services (for example, app stores, gaming platforms, official sources, social networks or data providers). The Developer neither controls nor endorses those third parties and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, changes to their conditions, or any damage arising from their use.

22. Availability, changes and end of support

The Developer does not warrant the continuous or uninterrupted availability of the Service and may, at its sole discretion and without liability, modify, update, limit, suspend or discontinue in whole or in part any product, feature, content or supported platform, and may withdraw products from stores or distribution platforms. In the event of discontinuation, you may continue using the copy already installed for as long as your system allows, but with no right to support, updates or recovery of content associated with third-party services.

23. Termination

The licence granted terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. You may also terminate it at any time by uninstalling the product and ceasing to use the Service. Termination gives rise to no right to a refund, except as provided by the relevant store's policy or by applicable law. The sections on intellectual property, warranties, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law survive termination.

24. Changes to these Terms

The Developer may update these Terms at any time, particularly when adding new platforms, distribution channels or product types. The version in force is the one published on this page, bearing its update date. Continued use of the Service after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of them. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.

25. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Chile. Any dispute will be submitted to the ordinary courts of justice sitting in Santiago de Chile, the parties waiving any other venue that might apply to them. The foregoing is without prejudice to the non-waivable rights granted to you by the consumer protection law of your country of residence, including, in Chile, those set out in Law No. 19,496. If you access the Service from another jurisdiction, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for complying with applicable local law, including export restrictions.

26. General provisions

If any provision of these Terms is held void or unenforceable, the remainder will retain full effect. The Developer's failure to exercise a right does not constitute a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without prior authorization; the Developer may assign them in the event of a reorganization or transfer of the catalogue. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the specific terms of each product, constitute the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the Service and supersede any prior communication. The Spanish version of this document prevails over any translation.
