Terms of Use (消了个词 · HarmonyOS)

Please read these terms before using the App. Buying a membership is also governed by the Membership Agreement, and auto-renewing plans by the Auto-Renewal Agreement. How we handle personal information is set out in the Privacy Policy.

1. Parties and scope

These terms are an agreement between you and Lu Liang (developer brand: Gentleflow) and apply to 消了个词 (Tribbit for HarmonyOS) (the "App"), bundle name tech.gentleflow.tribbit. They do not apply to Tribbit on other platforms.

2. Minors

Children under 14 should read these terms with a parent or guardian, who decides whether they use the App; other minors should use it under a guardian's guidance. Minors need a guardian's consent before buying a membership or diamonds.

3. The service

The App is an English vocabulary match-three game: you clear each English word tile together with its two clue tiles (a Chinese definition, a sticker or a colour). It offers level maps for courses including Everyday, Primary, Junior High, Senior High, CET-4 and A1–B2, normal, hard and hell tiers, chapter reviews, word cards with example sentences, and a learning calendar. There are also 267 textbook courses. General courses offer 20, 30 or 40 free levels depending on the course, and each textbook offers its first 5 levels free, and the App contains no ads.

The App also offers 消了个词 membership, a paid membership; its benefits, plans and charges are set out in the Membership Agreement.

4. Diamonds

• Diamonds are an in-app virtual currency for boosters: undo, hint, move out, revive and an extra slot. Undo and hint are free once per game.
• You receive diamonds for opening the App each day, and can buy packs of 120, 400 or 1,200 through Huawei In-App Purchases at the price shown in the App and the Huawei checkout before you pay.
• Diamonds have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be transferred to anyone else. Diamond purchases are non-refundable except where the law or AppGallery's refund rules provide otherwise.
• Your diamond ledger syncs to your own Huawei ID private cloud space after privacy consent; incomplete sync can still cause data loss. Pets and albums remain local even though their spending syncs.

5. Licence

As long as you follow these terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use the App on HarmonyOS devices you lawfully own or control, for personal, non-commercial learning. The App is licensed, not sold; all rights not expressly granted are reserved by us or the relevant rights holders.

6. Acceptable use

Except where applicable law expressly allows it, you must not:

• copy, rent, sell, redistribute or sublicense the App or its word lists, definitions, example sentences, stickers or art, or extract them in bulk for use in other products;
• maliciously modify, damage, decompile, disassemble or reverse-engineer the App, circumvent purchase or entitlement checks, or alter diamonds or progress without authorisation;
• use the App to infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, reputation or other lawful rights;
• use the App for unlawful acts, to endanger network or device security, or to interfere with others' use;
• impersonate us when publishing apps, agreements, notices or support information.

7. Intellectual property

The App's code, interface design, sticker and map art, vocabulary content and its arrangement, example sentences, text, and the "消了个词" name and logo belong to us or our licensors. The rounded typeface is used under the SIL Open Font License. HarmonyOS, AppGallery and other third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners.

8. Data and privacy

How the App handles data is described in the separate Privacy Policy (HarmonyOS), which you can open from Settings at any time.

9. On-device data and backups

After privacy consent, Huawei Cloud space syncs diamond ledgers for all users (cumulative earned/spent counters and order/daily-reward deduplication identifiers). Active members can also sync stars, best scores, best times and review clears for all courses and tiers, and play history (time, course, level, difficulty, results, cleared and peeked words). Data is stored in your own Huawei ID private cloud space; the developer runs no server receiving it. Turn off learning progress and history sync at Settings › 华为云空间同步 (Huawei Cloud space sync). Diamonds continue to sync; withdraw privacy consent in Settings and exit to stop all subsequent App cloud requests. Turning sync off or withdrawing consent does not delete existing cloud data, and native sync already started cannot be guaranteed to stop instantly. Sync depends on your Huawei ID, system cloud settings, network and available capacity and may not complete immediately. The selected course, favorites, pets and albums, preferences, recorded encouragement, tutorial state and purchase receipts are outside this sync. Pet spending affects the synced diamond balance, but pets do not migrate to another device; keep the original device data. Uninstalling or clearing local data before sync completes can cause loss. System backups depend on device settings.

10. Updates, changes and availability

We may update the App or these terms to fix faults, improve compatibility or experience, or meet legal and platform requirements. Where a material change needs your separate consent we will tell you prominently, and silence will not be taken as consent. Device faults, system limits, force majeure, necessary maintenance or changes on third-party platforms may cause temporary interruptions.

11. Disclaimer and limits of liability

The App is for learning English vocabulary and for fun; it does not guarantee any particular level of English or exam result. To the extent permitted by law, it is provided as is.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury, statutory consumer rights, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law. For losses that may lawfully be limited, we are liable only to the extent they were reasonably foreseeable and directly caused by our breach.

12. Huawei and third parties

Huawei is not the provider of the App's services under these terms. Downloading and updating the App through AppGallery, and using your Huawei ID, Huawei In-App Purchases and system speech synthesis, may also be governed by your terms with Huawei.

13. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Both parties will first try to settle any dispute amicably; failing that, either may bring proceedings in a competent people's court. Mandatory consumer protections where you live are unaffected.
