1. Agreement
By downloading, installing, or playing Behind The Badge (the “Game”), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or play it.
If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Game only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf.
2. Your licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the Game on devices you own or control, for your own private, non-commercial use.
This is a licence, not a sale. We retain all rights in the Game that are not expressly granted to you here.
3. What the Game is
Behind The Badge is an offline, single-player football management simulation. It has no accounts, no login, no multiplayer, and no online services operated by us. Everything happens on your device.
You are responsible for the device, the operating system, and any data or connection charges incurred while using the Game — in practice, only ad loading uses your connection.
4. Everything in the Game is fictional
All clubs, players, managers, staff, leagues, competitions, stadiums, crests and kits in the Game are fictional and generated procedurally by software. Names are assembled from generic name pools and place names.
Any resemblance to a real person, club, competition, sponsor or trademark is coincidental and unintended. The Game is not affiliated with, endorsed by, licensed by, or connected to any real football club, league, governing body, competition, or player, nor with any organisation that licenses such rights.
If you believe something generated by the Game infringes your rights, contact us at sater.studios@gmail.com and we will address it.
5. Advertising and rewards
The Game is free and funded by advertising supplied by Google AdMob. See the Privacy Policy for what data that involves.
- Rewarded ads are entirely optional. Watching one unlocks cosmetic content only — alternative club-crest designs. Nothing that affects results, finances, transfers, player development, or the difficulty of the Game can be bought or unlocked with an ad.
- Interstitial ads appear occasionally between screens, subject to frequency limits. They are suppressed for the duration of a live match.
There are no in-app purchases. The Game contains no payment mechanism and no premium currency.
Any cosmetic item, in-game money, player, club or other virtual item in the Game has no monetary value, is not property, cannot be exchanged for anything of real-world value, and may be changed or removed in an update. Trading, selling, or transferring virtual items or save files for real-world value is not permitted.
We do not control the content of third-party ads and are not responsible for it. If you see an ad you believe is inappropriate, please report it to Google and, if you wish, tell us.
6. Your save data
Your save is stored only on your device. There is no cloud backup and we hold no copy.
This means your career can be lost permanently if you uninstall the Game, clear its data, lose or reset your device, or if the storage becomes corrupted. We cannot recover a lost save, because we have never had it.
We take care to make saving reliable, but you accept that data loss is possible and that we are not liable for it.
7. What you may not do
You agree not to:
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Game, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
- modify, patch, or create derivative works of the Game, or distribute a modified version;
- redistribute, sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Game or its assets;
- remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
- use automated means to interact with advertising, or otherwise generate ad impressions or clicks fraudulently;
- use the Game in any way that breaks the law where you are.
8. Intellectual property
The Game — its source code, artwork, simulation systems, text, procedural generators, brand mark, and name — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws.
The Behind The Badge name and shield mark are ours. You may not use them without permission, other than to refer to the Game.
9. Third-party services
The Game uses the Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) SDK and, on Android, is distributed through Google Play. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not control them.
10. Updates, changes and availability
We may update the Game, change or remove features, or stop distributing or supporting it at any time, without notice and without liability.
We do not promise that the Game will be available, uninterrupted, or free of defects, or that it will run on every device or operating-system version.
11. No warranty
The Game is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory — including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms removes or limits consumer rights that cannot be excluded by law.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, nor for any loss of data (including lost save files), loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or connected to your use of the Game — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, and even if we have been advised that such loss was possible.
Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid us for the Game, which for a free game is zero, and (b) the minimum amount required by applicable law.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law.
13. Termination
This licence ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may end it at any time by uninstalling the Game. Sections 4, 5 (final paragraph), 6, 8, 11, 12 and 15 survive termination.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top and, for material changes, give notice in the Game or on the store listing. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the revised Terms.
15. Severability and entire agreement
If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force and the unenforceable provision is applied as far as it lawfully can be. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game.
