Refunds are provided only where required by applicable law or platform policies.
6. AI-Generated Content
Start2Play uses artificial intelligence technologies, including services provided by third-party providers, to generate game guides, summaries, rules explanations, and dispute resolution responses.
AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Users should always consult official game rulebooks and publisher resources when authoritative rules are required.

8. User Content and Moderation
You retain ownership of content you submit to the App, including usernames, game logs, scores, statistics, and other user-generated content.
By submitting content, you grant Nieves Studio LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, process, display, transmit, and reproduce such content as necessary to operate, improve, and provide the App and its features.
AI-generated outputs (such as guides, summaries, and dispute responses) are provided to you for your personal, non-commercial use within the App. Because of the nature of AI, similar or identical outputs may be generated for other users, and we do not grant you any exclusive rights in AI-generated content.
We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to monitor, review, remove, restrict, or disable any user content or activity that violates these Terms or that we reasonably consider objectionable, and to moderate user interactions in any social, leaderboard, or community features the App may offer.

10. Third-Party Services
The App relies on third-party services and infrastructure, including but not limited to OpenAI, Firebase, RevenueCat, Apple, and Google.
We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, performance, or actions of any third-party service. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@nieves.studio and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will try to resolve it in good faith.
Venue and jurisdiction. Except where prohibited by law, any dispute not resolved informally shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable rights you may have under the laws of your jurisdiction.
