These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and JDM Design ("we," "us," or "our") covering the Tube Bros game and this website (together, the "Services"). By downloading or playing Tube Bros, or by using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1. Your Licence to Play
Tube Bros is licensed to you, not sold. As long as you follow these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the game on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment.
When you get the game from the Apple App Store, your use is also governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA). If these Terms and the standard EULA conflict on a point the EULA is required to control, the EULA controls on that point.
2. Who Can Play
You must be old enough to agree to these Terms where you live, or have a parent or guardian agree for you. If you are under 18, please play with a parent or guardian's permission, and ask them before making any purchase. Parents can control purchases with the Screen Time and Ask to Buy features on Apple devices.
3. In-App Purchases
Tube Bros is free to download and play. It offers optional purchases, which are processed by the app store you downloaded it from and charged to your account there:
- Consumables, such as Super Tubes and Patch Kits. These are used up when you use them and cannot be restored once spent.
- Permanent unlocks, such as world passes, premium riders, tube skins and other cosmetics. These stay with your app store account and can be brought back on another device with Restore Purchases in Settings > Help.
- The Tube Club, an auto-renewing subscription described in the next section.
Prices are shown in the game before you buy and may vary by country and change over time. Virtual items have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money, and cannot be sold or transferred to another person or account. Buying an item gives you a licence to use it in the game; it does not give you ownership of it.
4. Tube Club Subscription
Tube Club is an optional auto-renewing subscription. While it is active, members receive 2 Super Tubes and 5 Patch Kits every week, a free continue on every river, and Club-only cosmetics.
- Plans. Monthly and yearly plans are offered. The price and length of each plan, and of any free trial, are shown in the game before you subscribe.
- Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Renewal. The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price of the plan you chose.
- Free trials. If a plan includes a free trial, you will be charged when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it does. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
- Cancelling. You can manage or cancel the subscription at any time in your App Store account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep the Club benefits until the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting the game does not cancel the subscription.
- After it ends. Super Tubes and Patch Kits you have already received are yours to use. Club-only cosmetics and the free continue are available only while the subscription is active.
5. Refunds
Purchases are handled by the app store, not by us, so we cannot issue refunds directly. For purchases made through Apple, request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or cancellation rights you have under the consumer laws of your country.
6. Rivers You Build
The River Editor lets you design rivers and share them as files. The rivers you make are yours. By sharing a river, you allow the people you share it with to play it and pass it on. You are responsible for what you share, including any name you give a river or yourself; please keep it free of anything unlawful, hateful, harassing or that infringes someone else's rights. Rivers are built from the game's own art and pieces, which remain ours (see section 8).
7. Fair Play
To keep the game fun and the leaderboards honest, you agree not to:
- Cheat, or use hacks, bots, modified copies of the game or other unauthorised software to gain an advantage or post scores you did not earn;
- Tamper with purchases, or obtain paid items without paying for them;
- Harass, abuse or impersonate other players, including through player names;
- Copy, decompile, reverse engineer or modify the game, except where the law expressly allows it;
- Use the Services for any unlawful purpose.
Leaderboards, achievements and online matches run on Apple's Game Center, and your use of them is also subject to Apple's terms.
8. Our Intellectual Property
Tube Bros, including its name, logo, characters, artwork, music, sounds, text and code, is owned by JDM Design and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. These Terms do not give you any rights in it beyond the licence in section 1. You are welcome to share screenshots and videos of your own play for non-commercial purposes.
9. Apple, Google and Other Services
Features such as purchases, Game Center and iCloud sync are provided by third parties and need you to be signed in to their services. We are not responsible for those services or for their being unavailable. If you got the game from Apple's App Store, you also acknowledge that:
- These Terms are between you and JDM Design only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the game or its content;
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the game;
- If the game fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the game;
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the game, including product liability claims, claims that the game fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection claims, or intellectual property claims;
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
10. Changes to the Game
We may update Tube Bros to add, change or remove features, rivers, items and prices, to fix problems, or to keep it working with new devices and system versions. We may also stop offering or supporting the game. We are not obliged to keep any particular feature available.
11. Disclaimers
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not promise that the game will be uninterrupted or free of errors, or that saved progress will never be lost. Some places do not allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of this may not apply to you.
Tube Bros is a cartoon. Real rivers are dangerous: wear a life jacket, never tube alone, and do not throw cans at anybody.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, JDM Design will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us through the game in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50. Some places do not allow these limits, so some of this may not apply to you, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time by deleting the game. These Terms end automatically if you break them, and we may suspend or end your access to features where the law and the app store rules allow. Sections that by their nature should continue, including sections 8, 11, 12 and 14, survive termination.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which JDM Design is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of any mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring claims in your local courts where those laws give you that right.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and if the changes are material we will give notice on this website or in the game. Continuing to use the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
