Terms
Terms of use
Last updated 5 November 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Vectalon, in India (“we”, “us”), for the Deckfolk apps and this website (“Deckfolk”). By using Deckfolk you agree to them. Please also read our Privacy policy.
Who can use Deckfolk
You need to be 18 or older to create an account, or have a parent or guardian’s permission. You can’t use Deckfolk if the law, or an earlier suspension by us, prevents you.
Your account
- Keep your sign-in secure and your details accurate. One account per person.
- You’re responsible for what happens on your account.
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account.
Free to play, never for money
Deckfolk is a place to play card games for fun. There are no stakes, prizes or payouts, and you must not use Deckfolk to gamble or to settle bets. Nothing you buy affects the cards you’re dealt or gives you an advantage over other players.
Playing, playing with friends and joining a friend’s table are free. Some features come with a free allowance, for example a number of suggestions at the table each day, full board reviews each week, or sessions you can host each week. The app shows the current allowances. We may change them, but we won’t reduce what you’ve already paid for during a period you’ve paid for.
Purchases and subscriptions
You can buy these in the app. What each one includes, its price in your currency and any free trial are shown in the app and by the store before you confirm.
- Deckfolk Plus is a subscription, billed monthly or yearly. It turns off all ads and adds the benefits listed in the app, including a backup of your lessons, quiz scores, drill results and game log to your account. If Plus ends, that backup is kept but no longer updated, and you can delete it in Settings.
- Without Plus, including with Remove ads, lessons, quiz scores, drill results and your game log are saved only on your device. They are not linked to your account, do not move to another device, and are lost if you delete the app. We can’t recover them.
- Remove ads is a one-time purchase that turns off ads across Deckfolk for as long as we offer the app. It isn’t a subscription.
Payment
Purchases are made through the App Store or Google Play and charged to your store account. Their terms apply to the payment, and they, not us, process it. Prices may include taxes, depending on where you live.
Automatic renewal
A Plus subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year, at the same price and for the same length, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your store account is charged within the 24 hours before renewal. If we change the price, the store will tell you in advance and, where the law or its rules require, ask you to agree before you’re charged the new price.
Free trials
If an offer includes a free trial, the subscription starts and you’re charged when the trial ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before then. Each store account can use an introductory offer only once.
Cancelling
Cancel in your store account: on iPhone or iPad in Settings → your name → Subscriptions, and on Android in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. After you cancel, Plus stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and then ends. Deleting the app or your Deckfolk account doesn’t cancel a subscription.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their refund policies, and we can’t issue them ourselves. Ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, or Google through Google Play’s order history. If something you paid for doesn’t work, email us and we’ll help. A refunded purchase no longer turns on its features. Nothing here limits refund rights you have under consumer protection law.
Your purchases on other devices
If you’re signed in when you buy, the purchase belongs to your Deckfolk account and works on any device signed in to it, iPhone, iPad or Android. If you bought something without an account, use Restore purchases in the app while signed in to the same App Store or Google Play account. A subscription is always managed, and cancelled, in the store you bought it from. Purchases can’t be transferred to another person and have no cash value.
If a feature changes or ends
If we stop offering a paid benefit during a period you’ve paid for, we’ll replace it with something comparable or help you get a refund for the rest of that period. If we close Deckfolk, we’ll give you notice and end Plus renewals first.
Ads
Free players may see ads, which Google AdMob provides, between practice boards, in lists, and as optional videos that unlock extra suggestions. There are no ads at the table during a game, in multiplayer rooms, in chat or during sign-up. Plus or Remove ads turns them all off. We don’t endorse the products advertised, and anything you buy from an advertiser is between you and them. The Privacy policy explains what ads collect and your choices.
Playing together
Deckfolk works because people treat each other well. When you use it, don’t:
- harass, threaten, bully or impersonate anyone, or post hateful, sexual or violent content;
- share other people’s personal information without their permission;
- use a profile photo that isn’t yours to use: one of someone else without their permission, one you don’t have the rights to, or one that is sexual, violent, hateful or of a child other than yourself;
- spam, or send links meant to mislead or harm;
- cheat in games where others expect a fair game, for example by sharing hands with a partner;
- break the law, or help someone else do so;
- interfere with Deckfolk: probe or attack it, overload it, get around its limits, or use bots or scripts to play or send messages.
You can block anyone and report messages in room chat, group chat and conversations with friends, and profile photos. A reported photo is hidden until a person has looked at it. Group owners can remove members who break these rules. Chat is filtered: common swear words are hidden and slurs, sexual insults and threats aren’t sent. A person reviews every report within 24 hours. We may remove content, pause your chat for a period, limit features or close accounts that break these rules. To ask about a decision, write to deckfolk@gmail.com.
Your messages and photo
You own what you write and the photo you add. You give us permission to store your messages and show them to the people in the room or group, or to the friend you write to, and to store your profile photo and show it to your friends and the people in your groups, only as far as we need to run Deckfolk. You confirm that you have the right to use the photo you add. Messages are deleted as described in the Privacy policy.
Our app
Deckfolk’s software, design, name, logo, artwork and sounds belong to Vectalon. Deckfolk also uses open-source software and fonts under their own licences, listed in the open-source notices. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for its intended purpose. Don’t copy, sell or reverse-engineer it except where the law allows. If you downloaded the app from the App Store, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement also applies, and Apple has no responsibility for Deckfolk or its support.
Changes and availability
We’re still building Deckfolk. Features may change or end, as set out above for paid features, and anything marked as a sample or a preview is exactly that. Online play needs an internet connection, and we can’t promise the service will always be available or free of errors.
Our responsibility to you
Deckfolk is provided “as is”. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data, or lost profits, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you’ve paid us for Deckfolk in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be excluded.
Ending these terms
You can stop using Deckfolk and delete your account whenever you like. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. Where we reasonably can, we’ll tell you why. If we close an account for any other reason, we’ll help you get a refund for the unused part of a subscription.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute. Please contact us first; most problems can be sorted out quickly.
Changes to these terms
We’ll post changes here and update the date at the top. For significant changes, we’ll tell you in the app before they take effect. If you keep using Deckfolk after that, the new terms apply.
