Terms of Service

Last updated: [DATE]

Welcome to Bob the Miner (the "Game"), operated by [Your Name / Company Name] ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or playing the Game at bob-the-miner.vercel.app (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Use of the Game

The Game is provided free of charge, for personal, non-commercial entertainment use. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Game without our express written permission.

2. Intellectual Property

The Game, including its name, characters (such as Bob the Miner), artwork, code, and design, is owned by [Your Name / Company Name] or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to our trademarks or branding.

3. Local Game Data

Your progress (lives, coins, unlocked levels, etc.) is stored locally in your browser. We are not responsible for any loss of progress caused by clearing your browser data, switching browsers or devices, or similar circumstances.

4. Advertising

The Site may display advertisements served by third-party providers, including Google AdSense. See our Privacy Policy for details on how advertising cookies are used.

5. VIP Purchase

The Site offers an optional one-time "VIP" purchase (currently $0.99) that removes life loss on level failure or abandonment. Payments are processed securely by Stripe; we do not receive or store your card details. VIP status is tied to your local browser storage and, if you sign in with Google, is also saved to your Google Drive app storage so it can follow you across devices signed into the same account.

[State your refund policy here — e.g. "All purchases are final and non-refundable, except where required by law" or "Refunds may be requested within X days by contacting us." Check the consumer protection laws that apply to you/your customers before deciding.]
