Nine Lives

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: August 14, 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of Nine Lives: Cat Logic Puzzle, a mobile game published by Codenova Tech (“Codenova”, “we”, “us”). By downloading, installing, or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

1. License to play

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial entertainment. You do not own the Game, its levels, puzzles, cats, audio, or art — you license them.

2. Eligibility

You must be old enough under the laws of your country to enter into a binding agreement. If you are a minor, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf and supervise your use of the Game, in particular any in-app purchases.

3. In-app purchases, coins and virtual items

  • Coins, hints, reveals, extra hearts, cats and themes are virtual items licensed for use inside the Game only. They have no real-world monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, and cannot be transferred outside the Game.
  • Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refunds are governed by those storefronts’ respective policies, and requests must be made to them.
  • The ads-free upgrade is a one-time purchase tied to the store account that bought it. You can restore it on a new device through the same store account; we cannot restore a purchase made on a different account.
  • All sales are final unless applicable law requires otherwise.
  • We may change pricing, adjust economy values, or retire items at any time as part of normal game tuning. Balance changes are not a refundable event.

4. Advertising

The Game is free to play and partly funded by advertising. Banner and interstitial ads do not appear before level ten, and rewarded ads are always optional — you choose to watch one in exchange for a hint, a cat reveal, or an extra heart. Ad content is capped at a PG rating. Where a consent form applies you control personalization through it, and on iOS you also control tracking through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt. See the Privacy Policy for detail.

5. Progress and data

The Game has no account and no cloud save. Your progress lives on your device. Clearing the app’s data, uninstalling the Game, losing the device, or switching platforms will lose your progress permanently, and we cannot restore it. Purchased entitlements can be restored through the original store account; the coins you have already spent cannot.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Game beyond what applicable law expressly permits.
  • Cheat, modify game memory or saved data, exploit bugs for advantage, or use bots or automation — including to place scores on leaderboards.
  • Resell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the Game or any in-game items.
  • Interfere with advertising delivery, in-app purchase verification, or any other part of the Game’s normal operation.
  • Use the Game in a way that infringes third-party rights or breaks applicable law.

7. Leaderboards and fair play

Leaderboards are provided by Game Center and Google Play Games and are governed by their terms in addition to these. Signing in is optional. Scores obtained by cheating, tampering, or automation may be removed, and the platform holder may act against the account independently of us.

8. Updates and availability

The Game changes over time. We may add, remove, or change levels, modes, cats, themes, balance, or content at any time, and some changes require updating the app. We may suspend or discontinue the Game in whole or in part with reasonable notice.

9. Feedback

The Game does not host user-generated content. If you contact support or send us feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that feedback to improve the Game, without obligation to you.

10. Intellectual property

All Nine Lives art, audio, code, branding, cat characters, and level and puzzle designs are the property of Codenova Tech and its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you. Third-party components are used under their own licenses, including the Grandstander and Henny Penny typefaces under the SIL Open Font License.

11. Disclaimers

The Game is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Codenova will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, progress, goodwill, or virtual items arising out of or related to the Game. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for in-app purchases in the twelve months preceding the claim.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Game if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. Termination ends your license to virtual items, which forfeit without refund.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Codenova Tech is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer-protection rights of your local jurisdiction continue to apply.

15. Changes

We may revise these Terms as the Game evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued play after changes are posted means you accept them.
