Users are strictly prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security, integrity, and availability of Ludo Boom King, its servers, networks, and website.

(A) Security Rules

Visitors and players are prohibited from:

1. Accessing data not intended for such user or logging into a server or account that the user is not authorized to access;
2. Attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization;
3. Attempting to interfere with service to any user, host, or network, including, without limitation, via means of submitting a virus to the game, overloading, "flooding", "mail bombing", or "crashing";
4. Sending unsolicited emails, promotional messages, or advertisements for products or services through in-game systems;
5. Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any game packet, post, or communication. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability.

(B) General Rules

Users may not use Ludo Boom King in order to transmit, distribute, store, or destroy material: (a) that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or violate any applicable law or regulation; (b) in a manner that will infringe the copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of others; or (c) that is libelous, defamatory, pornographic, profane, obscene, threatening, abusive, or hateful.

07. Fair Play, Anti-Cheating & Anti-Collusion Policy

We operate as a responsible gaming studio and are strictly dedicated to maintaining a level, transparent playing field for all board game enthusiasts. We carefully monitor player activities through automated server-side verification and anti-fraud heuristics.

Prohibited Unfair Practices

• Third-Party Cheats & Modded APKs: Use of altered application binaries, memory editors, speed hacks, rooted device exploit scripts, or automation bots is strictly prohibited.
• Collusion & Teaming: In 4-player multiplayer matches, players must compete independently. Coordinating token sacrifices, soft-playing, or intentionally favoring one player to disadvantage other participants constitutes collusion and will trigger immediate match disqualification.
• Intentional Disconnections: Intentionally disconnecting, idling turn clocks, or stalling the match timer to harass opponents will result in automated turn forfeit and rating penalties.
• Multi-Accounting & Chip Dumping: Creating multiple accounts to transfer virtual currency or manipulate matchmaking ratings is strictly forbidden.

We implement 24/7 automated anti-fraud algorithms to detect unfair play. Accounts found engaging in cheating or collusion will be suspended or permanently terminated, and all virtual balances will be immediately forfeited.

08. Virtual Currency (Coins & Gems) & Virtual Goods

Ludo Boom King features virtual in-game currencies (commonly known as "Coins" and "Diamonds / Gems") as well as virtual decorative items (such as custom dice skins, board themes, animated emojis, and player avatars).

Important Virtual Asset Clarifications:

• Virtual currency and virtual goods constitute a limited, revocable personal license to use in-game features; they do not represent personal property or a cash balance.
• Under NO circumstances can virtual coins or gems be redeemed for real currency, credited to bank accounts, transferred via UPI, or sold to other players.
• Virtual items cannot be bequeathed, bartered, or traded outside the official application client.

09. In-App Purchases & Store Billing

Ludo Boom King is free to download and play. Optional in-app purchases of virtual coin packs or cosmetic upgrades may be offered.

• Payment Processors: All in-app purchase transactions are executed exclusively through authorized platform billing systems: Google Play In-App Billing (on Android) and Apple App Store In-App Purchases (on iOS). We do not directly collect, handle, or store your credit/debit card numbers, CVVs, or bank login details.
• Pricing & Taxes: All displayed prices include applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) or statutory sales taxes where required by law. Prices are determined in Indian Rupees (INR) or localized currencies and may be updated periodically without prior notice.
• Billing Authority: By initiating a purchase, you confirm that you are the authorized holder of the payment account or have received express permission from the cardholder/parent to complete the transaction.

10. Cancellation, Refund & Chargeback Policy

Because virtual currencies and digital goods are consumed immediately upon delivery inside the game, all purchases are generally final and non-refundable, subject to applicable platform rules.

Refund Guidelines

• Failed Delivery: If real money was deducted from your payment method but the purchased virtual coins or gems were not credited to your in-game balance within 24 hours, contact Us at support.ludoboom.hcs@gmail.com with your official Google Play Store Order ID (e.g. GPA.XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX) or Apple receipt. Upon server log verification, we will promptly credit the missing items or approve platform refunding.
• Accidental or Unauthorized Debits: In cases of accidental or erroneous cash credits made through third-party billing providers, you may request a refund within two (2) weeks of the transaction directly via Google Play Support or Apple Support in accordance with their respective refund policies.
• Fraudulent Chargebacks: Initiating fraudulent chargebacks, payment reversals, or dispute claims after receiving and consuming virtual items will result in immediate account suspension and deduction of the associated virtual balance.

11. Service Outages, Connectivity & Match Interruption

Ludo Boom King multiplayer matches rely on real-time internet connectivity between your mobile device, cellular/Wi-Fi provider, and our game servers.

• User Connection: We are not responsible for game losses, lost turns, or token setbacks caused by player device latency, high ping, sudden carrier disconnection, incoming phone calls, or low device battery.
• Server Outages: While we endeavor to maintain high server uptime, periodic scheduled maintenance or unforeseen cloud infrastructure interruptions may occur. We are not liable for match cancellations resulting from widespread telecommunication outages beyond our reasonable control.
• Auto-Play / AI Takeover: If a player disconnects mid-match, an automated computer AI will take turns on their behalf for a short grace period to prevent stalling the game for remaining players. If the player does not reconnect within the allotted time, they will forfeit the match.

12. User Conduct & Community Standards
