Playwall - Terms of Service
Last Updated: 27 August 2026
Effective Date: 27 August 2026
Welcome to Playwall!
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Playwall application (“App,” “Service,” or “Playwall”), developed and operated by DRNKN, an independent developer (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By downloading, installing, or using Playwall, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully before using the App. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use Playwall.
Your use of the App is also governed by Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), and these Terms supplement it.
1. Description of Service
Playwall is a video game backlog tracker for iPhone and iPad that allows you to:
- Keep a wall of the games you own and want, owned games sharp and wishlist games dimmed, with one tap to move between the two
- Get one suggestion of a game worth starting tonight, instead of an endless list
- Log play sessions in a single tap
- Rate finishes with two quick questions
- Watch finishes collect into a browsable galaxy
- See a year-end receipt of what you played and finished
- Sync your library privately through your own iCloud account across your devices
Game titles, covers, and details are provided by IGDB. The App requires no account and no login. Adding games and updating covers needs a network connection; your logged library is available offline.
2. Eligibility
2.1 Age Requirements
You must be at least 13 years old to use Playwall. If you are between 13 and 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use Playwall with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
2.2 No Account Required
Playwall does not require account creation. The App uses your device’s local storage and syncs your library through Apple’s iCloud service using the Apple ID signed into your device. By using iCloud features, you agree to Apple’s terms and conditions.
3. Free to Use, and Optional Support
3.1 Free Forever
Playwall’s core is free, with no usage limits. You can capture, log, and rate as many games as you want, use the wall, the galaxy, and the year-end receipt, at no cost, always.
3.2 Support Tiers
If you want to support the developer, Playwall offers three optional tiers:
- Supporter, an auto-renewing annual subscription
- Night Owl, a one-time lifetime purchase
- Patron, a one-time lifetime purchase
All three unlock the same cosmetic extras, such as wall themes and a gold galaxy. None of them unlock functionality. The games, the logging, the ratings, and every core feature are free regardless of tier. The higher tiers are a larger gift, not a larger app.
3.3 Billing
- All purchases are processed through Apple’s App Store
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase
- The Supporter subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Night Owl and Patron are one-time purchases with nothing to renew
- Manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription
- Purchases can be restored via Restore Purchases on the support screen
3.4 Pricing
Prices are displayed in the App, are set by region, and are shown to you by Apple in your own currency before you confirm. We may change prices in future. A price change never affects a lifetime purchase you have already made, and any change to the subscription price is subject to Apple’s notice and consent rules.
3.5 Refunds
Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their refund policies. We cannot process refunds directly. To request one, contact Apple Support or visit reportaproblem.apple.com.
3.6 Losing Support Status
If a subscription lapses, the cosmetic extras it unlocked are hidden. Your library is never affected. Every game, session, and rating remains, and core features keep working. Renewing restores the cosmetics.
4. Your Content
4.1 You Own What You Add
“Your Content” means the games, sessions, ratings, and settings you create in the App. You retain full ownership. We claim no licence over it.
Your Content is stored on your device and synced to your own iCloud account. It is never transmitted to us. We cannot read it, cannot copy it, and cannot use it for training, for promotion, or for anything else, because we never receive it. There is no server of ours holding it, which means there is nothing of yours for us to sell, lose, or be compelled to produce.
4.2 Deletion Is Yours to Control
- Remove any game from its detail screen
- Deleting the App removes the local copy; remove the synced copy in Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage
- There is no server copy, so deletion from your devices and iCloud is final and unrecoverable
4.3 Acceptable Use
You agree NOT to:
- Use the App for any illegal purpose
- Attempt to circumvent purchases or entitlement checks
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
- Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the App itself
5. Intellectual Property
5.1 Our Property
The App, including its design, features, code, graphics, and branding (excluding Your Content and third-party game data), is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. The Playwall name, logo, and associated branding are ours.
5.2 Game Data and Cover Art
Game titles, cover images, and details are provided by IGDB and remain the property of IGDB and the respective rights holders. They are shown in the App under IGDB’s terms for the purpose of identifying and displaying the games in your library, and are not ours to license to you.
5.3 Limited Licence
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for personal purposes in accordance with these Terms.
5.4 Feedback
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the App, you grant us the right to use them without compensation or attribution.
6. Third-Party Services
6.1 Services We Use
- Apple iCloud / CloudKit: syncing your library to your own iCloud account
- Google Firebase Analytics: content-free product analytics, as described in our Privacy Policy
- RevenueCat: managing support purchases and restores
- IGDB: game titles, covers, and details
- Apple App Store: distribution and payment
6.2 Third-Party Terms
Your use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.
7. Feature Expectations and Disclaimers
7.1 Suggestions Are Suggestions
Playwall’s “tonight” suggestion and its rankings are conveniences drawn from your own library. They are not guarantees of anything, and you are free to ignore them.
7.2 Game Data May Be Incomplete
Game titles, covers, and details come from IGDB and may occasionally be missing, outdated, or incorrect. We surface what IGDB provides and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness.
7.3 Data Loss
The App saves as you use it and syncs to iCloud, but this is not a substitute for your own device backups. We are not liable for loss of Your Content, whether caused by device failure, iCloud unavailability, accidental deletion, or a defect in the App.
8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
8.1 “As Is” Service
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- Merchantability
- Fitness for a particular purpose
- Non-infringement
- Accuracy or reliability of game data, suggestions, or rankings
- Uninterrupted or error-free operation
8.2 Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:
- Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
- Loss of profits, data, or goodwill
- Any damages exceeding the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
8.3 Jurisdictional Variations
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the developer of Playwall from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the App, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any third-party rights, or Your Content.
10. Termination
10.1 By You
You may stop using Playwall at any time by deleting the App. Deleting the App removes the local copy; remove the synced copy in your iCloud settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription, so do that in your Apple Account settings.
10.2 By Us
We may terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Reasons may include violation of these Terms.
10.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination your licence to use the App ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive, such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitations of liability, continue to apply. Your library remains yours, on your devices and in your iCloud.
11. Changes to the Service and Terms
11.1 Changes to the App
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. Where a change materially affects a paid tier, we will say so clearly and in advance where we reasonably can.
11.2 Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time and will notify you of material changes through the App or by other means. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
12.1 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Indonesia, without regard to conflict of law principles.
12.2 Dispute Resolution
Before initiating any legal action, you agree to contact us first and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. Most concerns can be settled quickly by email.
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, any legal proceedings shall be brought in the courts located in Indonesia, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts.
12.3 Class Action Waiver
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to resolve disputes individually and waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitration.
13. General Provisions
13.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with Apple’s standard EULA, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede any prior agreements.
13.2 Severability
If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect.
13.3 Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver of it or of any other provision.
13.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
