Terms of Use

Last updated: 25 April 2026. Version 1.0.

Plain-English summary. Shapeless End is free. Play it however you like, on as many devices as you like. We don’t promise it’s perfect — it’s a free game on the open web. Don’t pretend to be us or strip our name off it. That’s about it.

1. Agreement

By using Shapeless End (the “Game”), whether through the web, the iOS app, or the Android app, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please don’t use the Game.

2. Licence to play

Subject to these terms, we grant you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, revocable licence to use the Game for your own personal, non-commercial enjoyment, on any number of devices.

3. What you may not do

You agree that you will not:

• republish, sell, sublicense or rent the Game or any of its assets as if they were your own;
• strip, hide, or alter our branding (name, logo, copyright notices) in copies you distribute;
• use the Game in a way that suggests it is endorsed by, or affiliated with, any person or organisation other than the publisher;
• use the Game to harm others, including by attempting to host a modified version that secretly collects user data, runs ads, or performs other behaviours we have specifically designed it not to do;
• use automated means to abuse hosting infrastructure on which the Game is published.

Reverse-engineering for the purposes of interoperability or security research is permitted to the extent that EU law (in particular Article 6 of Directive 2009/24/EC and Article 6 of Directive 2019/790) gives you that right; nothing in these terms restricts those rights.

4. Intellectual property

The name “Shapeless End”, the logo, the original source code, the original visual design, the procedurally-generated sounds, and the assembled product as a whole are the property of Shadow Games and Development (shadowgames-dev.com) and are protected by copyright, trade-mark and related rights. © 2026 Shadow Games and Development. All rights not expressly granted in section 2 are reserved.

5. Third-party assets

The Game intentionally avoids depending on third-party fonts, analytics, ad networks, or remote services. Any third-party assets included in the build (for example any open-source library used at build time) are listed in the project’s public source repository together with their licences, and are used in accordance with those licences.

6. Updates and availability

We may update the Game from time to time to add features, fix bugs, or improve accessibility. We do not promise that the Game will always be available, that it will be free of bugs, or that any specific feature will continue to exist. The Game does not require a server to function, so it should keep working on your device even if we stop updating it.

7. No warranty

The Game is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all express or implied warranties, including (without limitation) merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will the publisher be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Game.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for: death or personal injury caused by negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

9. Consumer rights (Ireland / EU)

If you use the Game as a consumer in Ireland or the European Union, you have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 (Ireland), the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 (as amended), and the EU Digital Content and Digital Services Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/770), including remedies where digital content does not conform to contract. Nothing in these terms affects those statutory rights.

Because the Game is supplied free of charge, the regime applicable to free digital content under those instruments applies; please contact us first (see §12) if you believe the Game does not conform to what was described.

10. Governing law & jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Game are subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts. As an EU consumer, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your Member State of residence, and you may use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the landing page. Your continued use of the Game after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
