Article 1 (Purpose)
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the relationship between Design Future Games (the “Company”) and users (“Users”) with respect to the use of the mobile game Block King Master : Classic and all related services (collectively, the “Service”).
Article 2 (Definitions)
- “User” means any person who agrees to these Terms and uses the Service.

- “Content” means all data and materials provided through the Service, including game data (stages, scores, progress, etc.), text, images, audio and other media.
Article 3 (Effect and Changes to the Terms)
- These Terms become effective when they are posted on the initial screen of the Service, the settings menu or otherwise made available to Users in a reasonable manner.
- The Company may modify these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable laws. In the event of changes, the Company will announce the details and effective date of the revised Terms within the Service or by other reasonable means. If the changes are disadvantageous to Users, the Company will notify them at least 30 days prior to the effective date.
- If a User continues to use the Service after the revised Terms have come into effect, the User will be deemed to have agreed to the revised Terms.
Article 4 (User Requirements and Accounts)
- The Service is intended for general users and is not primarily designed for children.
- The Company does not operate its own account system and does not require Users to enter direct identifiers such as names or email addresses. Google Play Games login is an optional linked feature only.
- Users are responsible for appropriately managing access to their devices, Google accounts, passwords and other credentials, and are liable for any damages resulting from their failure to do so.
- If a minor makes a paid purchase without the consent of a legal guardian, whether cancellation or refund is possible will be determined in accordance with applicable laws and the policies of the Google Play Store.
Article 5 (Scope of the Service and Nature of Data)
- The Company may freely decide and change specific aspects of the Service, including stage structure, difficulty, items, events, visual effects and other game content.
- The Company does not operate a separate backend server for game progress. Game data is primarily stored and managed on the User’s device or within store/platform environments (for example, Google Play Games).
- When a User uninstalls the app, the game data on the device that is under the Company’s control is deleted together with the app. The Company does not independently back up or restore this data or keep separate copies.
- For data stored by Linked Services (such as advertising, billing and leaderboards), the policies and systems of the respective providers take precedence. The Company only views or uses the results within a reasonable scope.
Article 6 (Intellectual Property and License)
- All copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights in and to the Service and Content belong to the Company or the rightful owners.
- The Company grants Users a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the Service and Content solely for private purposes.
- Users shall not:
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the game client or related systems,
- reproduce, distribute, publicly display, transmit, lend or sell Content without the prior consent of the Company, or
- engage in any act that infringes the intellectual property or other rights of the Company or any third party.
Article 7 (Prohibited Acts)

Article 8 (Virtual Currency, In-App Purchases and Refunds)
- The Service may provide multiple coin products and paid items such as ad-removal (NO ADS) that can be purchased repeatedly.

- If fraudulent refunds, unauthorized payments or unjust chargebacks are confirmed, the Company may take measures within reasonable limits, such as restricting use of the Service, withdrawing Virtual Currency or resetting data.
- In the event that the Service is terminated or a User ceases using the Service, whether unused Virtual Currency or similar in-Service items will be compensated or refunded will be determined by the Company after considering applicable laws, store policies and the operational status of the Service.
Article 9 (Advertisements and Third-Party Services)
- The Service may include banner, interstitial and rewarded ads provided through Google AdMob and similar services. In certain regions, personalized ads may be limited and only non-personalized (contextual) ads may be shown depending on consent status.
- Linked Services (advertising, billing, leaderboards and others) are operated in accordance with the policies and terms of the respective providers. To the extent permitted by law, those providers bear primary responsibility for failures, errors or disputes concerning their services.
- If a User follows a link or uses a third-party service outside the Service, such use falls outside the control of the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company’s responsibility in such cases is limited.
Article 10 (Changes and Suspension of the Service)
- The Company may change aspects of the Service, including game balance, stage composition, item performance, effects, events and maintenance/patch schedules, when necessary for operational, technical, security or legal reasons.
- If there are significant business reasons, the Company may partially or completely terminate the Service. Unless otherwise required by applicable laws, the Company is not obligated to provide additional compensation for free features or unused Virtual Currency in connection with such termination.
- When changes or suspension of the Service occur, the Company will notify Users in advance to the extent reasonably possible. However, in urgent cases such as security issues, notice may be given afterwards.
Article 11 (Disclaimer of Warranties)
The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable laws, the Company makes no express or implied warranties regarding the reliability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or any other aspect of the Service.

Article 15 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution)
- These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea.
- If a dispute arises between the Company and a User in connection with the Service, the parties shall first endeavor to resolve it through good-faith negotiations.
