Terms of Use

These terms cover your use of Oar Hour: Lifeboat Rescue and its optional in-app purchases. They add to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which applies to the game. If the two conflict, Apple's agreement wins. By downloading or playing the game you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the game.

1. The game

Oar Hour: Lifeboat Rescue ("Oar Hour", "the game") is a single-player lifeboat game that works offline. It's published by Huyen Tran under the ATR Labs name ("we", "us").

2. A game, not training

Oar Hour is entertainment. Its boats, sea and rescues are simplified and dramatised. Nothing in the game is instruction in seamanship, boat handling, first aid or search and rescue, and it mustn't be relied on in a real emergency. In a real emergency at sea, call your local coastguard or emergency number.

3. In-app purchases

Both chapters of the game are free. Optional packs add cosmetic items only (boat liveries and crew suits) and have no effect on gameplay.

• Packs are one-time, non-consumable purchases. There are no subscriptions and nothing random is sold.
• Prices are shown in the game in your local currency before you buy, and may change for new purchases.
• A pack is tied to your Apple ID. Use Restore Purchases (Boathouse › Packs) to unlock it again on a new device or after reinstalling. If Family Sharing is on, family members may be able to use it too.
• Purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. A refunded pack is removed from the game.
• Supplies, medals and other items earned in the game have no monetary value and can't be bought, sold or exchanged.

4. Your progress

Progress is saved only on your device. We can't recover it if the game is deleted or the device is lost, except what's included in your own device backup. Cosmetic packs can always be restored through the App Store.

5. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Oar Hour on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer (except where the law allows), resell or redistribute the game, or use cheats or tools that alter it. The game, its art, music, sound and text belong to us or our licensors.

6. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for Oar Hour and its content. Apple isn't responsible for Oar Hour or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and isn't responsible for addressing claims about the game (such as product liability, legal compliance or intellectual-property claims). 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 the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you're not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you're not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

7. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oar Hour is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data or progress, arising from your use of Oar Hour. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for Oar Hour and its in-app purchases in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

9. Ending use

You can stop using Oar Hour at any time by deleting it. We may stop offering or updating the game. If we do, the copy on your device and the packs you bought may keep working, but we can't guarantee they will on future versions of iOS or iPadOS.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the date above and, for material changes, mention it in the game's release notes before they take effect. Continuing to play after that means you accept the new terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your place of residence gives you mandatory consumer protections.
