Terms of Use

ParallelLives

Effective Date: April 13, 2026 · Last updated: April 13, 2026

Please read these Terms carefully. They are a binding agreement between you and the Developer. They include, among other things, disclaimers of warranty, limitations of liability, a class-action waiver and arbitration clause (for users in the United States), and an acknowledgment that gacha outcomes are probabilistic and not guaranteed. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form a binding legal contract between you ("you" or "User") and Dino Bozic, operating as a sole trader under the name "dinz" and registered in the Republic of Croatia (the "Developer," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the ParallelLives mobile application and all related services, content, and features (collectively, the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA") available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA, these Terms govern as between you and the Developer, except where the Apple EULA is mandated to control.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least thirteen (13) years old to use the App and at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction to enter into a binding contract (typically eighteen (18) years). Users under the age of majority may use the App only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on the minor's behalf. The App is rated 12+ in the Apple App Store due to infrequent/mild simulated gambling (gacha mechanics). By using the App you represent and warrant that (a) you meet the eligibility requirements, (b) you have not been previously banned or suspended, and (c) you are not a person barred from receiving the App under applicable law (including under U.S. export or sanctions laws).

3. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Developer grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use one copy of the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial entertainment. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Restrictions

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

We may investigate and take any action we deem appropriate for any violation, including terminating your license and denying access to purchased features without refund.

5. Account and On-Device Data

The App does not require an account. Your collection, preferences, and progress are stored on your device. You are solely responsible for maintaining backups and for any loss of data resulting from device loss, theft, damage, reset, or reinstallation. We are not responsible for recovering on-device data and do not retain copies on our servers.

6. AI-Generated Content

Certain features of the App rely on machine-learning models provided by third parties. You acknowledge and agree that:

7. In-App Purchases, Subscriptions, and Virtual Items

7.1 Virtual Items Have No Real-World Value

"Portal Credits," collected "alternate lives," rarity tiers, fate cards, memory fragments, achievements, and other in-game items (collectively, "Virtual Items") are licensed, not sold. They are tokens of entertainment with no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash or anything of real-world value, cannot be transferred between accounts or devices except as Apple's systems permit, and may be modified, suspended, or removed at our discretion. You acknowledge that you do not own any right or title in Virtual Items beyond a limited license to use them within the App.

7.2 Gacha Mechanics and Probability Disclosures

The App includes gacha-style features in which Virtual Items are obtained through a randomized selection from a pool, weighted by rarity. Outcomes are determined by pseudo-random number generation and are not guaranteed. Any "pity" counters or guaranteed-rarity thresholds are described in the App and are provided as designed; we may adjust these parameters for balance reasons. You are not purchasing a specific Virtual Item; you are purchasing a chance to obtain one within the published odds. Use of gacha features is a personal entertainment choice made at your own discretion. Please play responsibly and within your means. If you believe your use has become compulsive or harmful, resources are available from national responsible-gaming organizations.

7.3 Processing by Apple

All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Your purchases are governed by the Apple EULA and Apple's applicable payment terms. We do not process, access, or store your payment card details. Prices shown are in your local App Store currency and include applicable taxes collected by Apple.

7.4 Consumable Credits

Credit packs ("5 Portal Credits," "20 Portal Credits," and any successor products) are consumable in-app purchases. Once delivered to your account or consumed in a pull, consumable credits are non-refundable and non-transferable, except as required by applicable mandatory law or by Apple's discretionary refund policy. Refund requests are directed to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.

7.5 Auto-Renewing Subscriptions ("Infinite Pass")

The "Infinite Pass" is an auto-renewing subscription sold by Apple. Key terms:

7.6 EU Consumer Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the European Union, under Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU you expressly acknowledge and consent that the supply of digital content begins immediately upon purchase, and you therefore waive your right of withdrawal once performance has begun. This does not affect your statutory consumer rights, including warranties of conformity under EU law.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its source code, artwork, audio, animations, UI, gacha pools, pre-authored lives, narrative chains, and all other original content (collectively, the "Content"), is owned by the Developer or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws of Croatia, the European Union, the United States, and international treaties. All trademarks, service marks, and trade names are the property of their respective owners. The Apple logo and iOS are trademarks of Apple Inc. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to the Content other than the limited license in Section 3.

9. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the App ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and commercialize the Feedback in any manner and for any purpose, without attribution or compensation. You represent and warrant that you have the right to provide the Feedback on these terms.

10. Third-Party Services

The App interacts with services operated by Apple and with large-language-model providers, as described in the Privacy Policy. Those services are provided by third parties on their own terms. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third parties or for any data you transmit to them through the App. Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms.

11. Updates, Modifications, and Availability

We may release updates, patches, or new versions of the App from time to time. Some updates may be required to continue using the App. We may also, at our sole discretion and without liability, modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any portion of the App, introduce new features, remove or rebalance features (including gacha pools, odds, and pricing), or limit availability in any region, in each case without prior notice where practicable.

12. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate by deleting the App. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including (without limitation) a violation of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, or a legal requirement. Upon termination, your license under Section 3 ends immediately, and Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20 (and any other provisions that by their nature should survive) will survive termination. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as required by applicable law.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

The App and all content and services are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. The Developer, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, or availability. Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that: (a) the App will meet your requirements; (b) the App will operate uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; (c) defects will be corrected; (d) any content, including AI-generated content, will be accurate, reliable, complete, timely, safe, or free of viruses or other harmful components; or (e) any Virtual Item or outcome will be obtained. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in such jurisdictions, the disclaimers above apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, and we provide only the minimum warranties required.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

In no event will the Developer, its affiliates, licensors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, reputation, data, Virtual Items, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will our aggregate liability exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us (or to Apple for the App on our behalf) in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) twenty euros (EUR 20.00). The limitations in this Section apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including (where applicable) liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation, or statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protections, you benefit from those protections notwithstanding anything in this Section, and nothing in these Terms affects your non-waivable statutory rights.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer and its affiliates, officers, agents, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual-property or privacy right; (d) content you submit to the App, including prompts; or (e) any dispute between you and another user or third party. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with our defense.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the App, are governed by the laws of the Republic of Croatia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to Section 17 (Arbitration for U.S. Users), the courts of the city of Zagreb, Croatia have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, and the parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the EU member state where you are habitually resident, and mandatory consumer-protection laws of that member state apply to you notwithstanding this Section.

17. Dispute Resolution — Arbitration and Class-Action Waiver (U.S. Users)

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your rights.

If you reside in the United States, you and the Developer agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and not in a court, except as provided below. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Arbitration will take place in the county where you reside, or by videoconference. The arbitrator's decision is binding and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration, you agree to notify us at dinz@dinzzz.com with a description of the Dispute and proposed resolution, and to allow sixty (60) days to attempt a good-faith resolution.

Small-claims exception. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court if the claim qualifies.

Class-action and jury waiver. You and the Developer agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative action. You and the Developer knowingly and voluntarily waive any right to a jury trial. If a court determines that applicable law precludes enforcement of any part of this Section, the portion that cannot be enforced will be severed and the remainder will continue to apply. In no event will any claim be arbitrated on a class, consolidated, or representative basis.

Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to dinz@dinzzz.com within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your name and the date you first accepted these Terms. Opting out does not affect other provisions of these Terms.

18. Notice for California Users

Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following notice: The App is provided by Dino Bozic (dinz), Republic of Croatia, contactable at dinz@dinzzz.com. To file a complaint regarding the App, or to receive further information regarding use of the App, you may contact the California Department of Consumer Affairs, Consumer Information Division, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

19. Apple-Specific Terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App to you (to the extent applicable) and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. As between the Developer and Apple, any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of the Developer. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

20. Export Compliance and Sanctions

You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws of the European Union, the United States, and any other relevant jurisdiction. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to U.S. embargo or designated by any government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

21. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance arising from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, civil unrest, terrorism, epidemics, pandemics, labor disputes, power or network failures, third-party service outages, or acts of any governmental authority.

22. DMCA / Copyright Complaints

If you believe that content accessible through the App infringes your copyright, send a written notice to dinz@dinzzz.com containing: (a) a physical or electronic signature of the rights owner or authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing; (d) your contact information; (e) a good-faith statement that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where the changes are material, provide reasonable advance notice (for example, through an in-App notice or by updating this page). Your continued use of the App after the effective date of the amended Terms constitutes acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using and delete the App.

24. Miscellaneous

  1. Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Apple EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Developer regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements on the subject.
  2. Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
  3. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
  4. Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without notice.
  5. Headings. Section headings are for reference only and do not affect interpretation.
  6. Interpretation. "Including" means "including without limitation." References to laws include amendments and successors.
  7. Notices. Notices to us must be sent to dinz@dinzzz.com. Notices to you may be delivered through the App, by email (if we have one on file), or by posting on this page.
  8. Relationship. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship.
  9. Language. These Terms were drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience; in case of conflict, the English version controls, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.
