Terms of use
This translation is provided for convenience. Only the French version is legally binding. Read the French version →
1. Purpose and acceptance
These terms of use (the “Terms”) govern the use of the Temporia mobile app for iOS and Android (the “App”), published by PIXICODE, whose full details appear in the legal notice.
By installing or using the App, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.
When the App is downloaded from the App Store, Apple’s standard end user licence agreement also applies. These Terms are concluded between you and PIXICODE only: Apple is not a party to them and is not responsible for the App or its content. Use of Google Play is likewise subject to Google’s terms.
2. The service
Temporia is a daily chronology game. Every day, a new challenge asks you to put cards of real events back in chronological order. The daily challenge is the same for all players of the same language and changes at midnight, in your device’s local time.
The App also offers an archive of past challenges, a training mode, Epoch mode (reserved for Temporia+), friends, a weekly friends leaderboard, badges and level-based progression.
The cards are written with the help of artificial intelligence tools from Wikidata’s open data (CC0 licence), then proofread. Despite this care, a date or a description may contain a mistake: you can report it from the game’s results screen (“Report a card”).
The service evolves: features may be added, changed or removed. PIXICODE strives to keep the App available at all times but cannot guarantee it. Access may be interrupted, in particular for maintenance or in the event of an outage, and an Internet connection is required to play.
3. Account
On first launch, a guest account is created automatically. It is tied to your device: if you uninstall the App or change device without having linked it to a sign-in method, your progress is lost.
You can link your account to an email address with a password, to a Google account or to an Apple account. If you sign in on a device where a guest account already exists, the two progressions may be merged.
If you have forgotten the password of an account linked to an email address, you can reset it from the sign-in screen: a single-use code, valid for 15 minutes, is sent to the address you enter if it matches an account.
You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for the use of your account. An account is personal: it may not be sold, transferred or shared.
Minimum age. The App is reserved for people aged at least 13. In France, between the ages of 13 and 15, the agreement of a holder of parental authority is also required for data processing based on consent (personalised advertising, analytics): see the privacy policy.
4. Temporia+
Offers. Temporia+ is offered as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription or lifetime access. Prices, including taxes, and the terms of each offer are shown in the App before any purchase.
Free trial. Some offers may include a free 7-day trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial, it automatically continues as the paid subscription you chose.
Payment and renewal. Payment is processed by Apple or Google and charged to your App Store or Google Play account. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel your subscription from your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the App or your Temporia account does not cancel the subscription.
Verification and account linking. Each purchase is verified by our servers directly with Apple or Google before Temporia+ is activated on your Temporia account. A purchase can only be linked to one Temporia account at a time: if it is presented from another Temporia account (for example by restoring purchases after signing in to a different account), it is transferred to that account and the corresponding benefits are removed from the previous account. A refund or revocation of the purchase by Apple or Google ends the corresponding benefits.
Restoring purchases. On a new device, the “Restore purchases” button lets you recover a purchase made with the same App Store or Google Play account.
Refunds. Refund requests are subject to the terms of Apple or Google, which collect the payment.
Right of withdrawal. In accordance with Article L.221-28, 13° of the French Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised for the supply of digital content not provided on a tangible medium whose performance has begun with your prior express consent and your express waiver of that right. By subscribing, you request immediate access to Temporia+.
Benefits. Temporia+ removes forced ads (rewarded videos remain optional) and gives access to the Epoch mode and a larger reserve of streak freezes. It also lifts the limit of one archive day unlocked per day (each unlock is still paid with coins or a rewarded video). The up-to-date list of benefits is shown in the App.
Lifetime access. “Lifetime” access applies for as long as PIXICODE operates the App.
5. Coins
Coins are the game’s virtual currency. They are earned by playing, by reaching streak milestones and levels, or by doubling certain winnings with a rewarded video. At present, they cannot be bought with real money.
Coins can be used to obtain game items (streak freezes, archive days, hints). They have no monetary value: they cannot be refunded, exchanged for money or transferred to another player. They are lost if the account is deleted. PIXICODE may adjust coin earnings and prices, and correct a balance resulting from an error or fraud.
6. Rewarded videos
Some features offer to watch an advertising video in exchange for a reward (for example doubling the coins earned or getting a hint). Watching these videos is always optional. Their number is limited each day, and the reward is only granted once our servers have confirmed that the video was actually watched.
7. Rules of conduct
By using the App, you undertake to:
- choose a display name that does not infringe the law, the rights of others or public decency (no insulting, hateful or discriminatory content, no impersonation);
- not cheat, in particular by using automated programs, by modifying the App or its exchanges with our servers, or by deliberately exploiting a flaw in the game;
- not decompile, disassemble or attempt to extract the App’s source code, except where permitted by law;
- not disrupt the operation of the service or attempt to access data not intended for you;
- not send abusive reports.
8. Sanctions and termination
By you. You can stop using the App at any time and delete your account from Settings › Account › Delete my account.
By PIXICODE. In the event of a breach of these Terms, PIXICODE may, depending on its seriousness, issue a warning, change your display name, reset all or part of your progress or scores, or suspend or close your account. Except in the event of a serious breach or a legal obligation, suspension or closure is preceded by a notification. Closing an account for a breach does not give rise to any refund or compensation.
End of the service. PIXICODE may decide to stop operating the App. You will then be informed in the App with reasonable notice.
9. Intellectual property and licence
The App, its interface, texts, visuals, cards and software, as well as the Temporia brand, are the property of PIXICODE or its partners and are protected by intellectual property law. The Wikidata data used to prepare the cards is published under the CC0 licence.
PIXICODE grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the App, for private and non-commercial use, for the duration of these Terms. Any other use is prohibited without prior written permission.
10. Liability
The App is a game provided for entertainment purposes. The historical information it contains is given for information only and should not be used as a reference.
PIXICODE is not liable for damage resulting from use of the App contrary to these Terms, from an interruption of the service, from the act of a third party (in particular Apple, Google or your network operator) or from force majeure. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you hold under the mandatory provisions of the French Consumer Code, in particular the legal guarantee of conformity of digital content and services.
11. Personal data
The processing of your personal data is described in the privacy policy.
12. Changes to the Terms
PIXICODE may change these Terms, in particular to reflect changes to the service or to regulations. The date of the last update appears at the bottom of the page. In the event of a substantial change, you will be informed in the App. If you do not accept the new terms, you can stop using the App and delete your account.
13. Governing law, mediation and disputes
These Terms are governed by French law. If you reside in another member state of the European Union, you also benefit from the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
If you have a problem, please write to temporia@pixicode.dev first: we always look for an amicable solution.
In accordance with Articles L.611-1 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, if your written complaint has not been resolved, you may refer the matter free of charge to the consumer mediator PIXICODE reports to, with a view to resolving the dispute amicably.
Consumer mediator: CM2C, 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, France, www.cm2c.net (online referral on this website or by post).
Failing an amicable resolution, the dispute may be brought before the competent French courts, subject to the jurisdiction rules protecting consumers.
