Last updated: April 08, 2025

Important: Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using ludis.app. By accessing or using this website in any way, you unconditionally agree to be bound by all terms set out below. If you do not agree with any provision of these Terms, please discontinue use of the website immediately.

1. Parties and Scope

These Terms of Use (the "Terms", "Agreement") govern the relationship between the administration of ludis.app (the "Website", "Ludis.app", "we", "us", "our") and any person accessing or using the Website (the "User", "you", "your").

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement. Accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Website — regardless of whether you have explicitly read these Terms — constitutes your full and unconditional acceptance of them.

2. Nature of the Website and Content

Ludis.app is an independent editorial platform that publishes reviews, descriptions, and analytical content about mobile applications and software products. The Website is strictly informational and editorial in nature.

Please understand the following clearly:

• Ludis.app is not an app store, software distributor, or download intermediary of any kind.
• Ludis.app does not provide, host, upload, or distribute application files, installation packages, or executable code.
• All content published on the Website — including reviews, feature descriptions, ratings, and commentary — is original editorial material prepared by our team based on publicly available information and independent testing.
• To download or install any application, users are directed to third-party platforms (such as Google Play, the Apple App Store, or other official distribution channels), which bear full responsibility for the distribution of the respective software.

3. Affiliate Links and Commercial Disclosure

Ludis.app participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means the following:

• Some links on the Website are affiliate links. If you click such a link and complete a qualifying action (such as downloading, registering, or making a purchase), we may receive a commission from the third party.
• The presence of an affiliate link does not influence the content, objectivity, or rating of our editorial material. All reviews are prepared independently, based on genuine analysis and testing.
• Any affiliate commission, where applicable, is paid by the affiliated partner — not by you. Pricing and distribution terms for any application are set solely by its developers and the respective distribution platforms.
• The presence of affiliate links is disclosed on the relevant pages of the Website in accordance with the guidelines of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), and other applicable regulatory bodies.

By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclosure.

4. Accuracy and Currency of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of our published materials. However:

• The mobile application market changes rapidly: versions are updated, features are added or removed, and pricing and distribution terms may change without prior notice from us.
• Ludis.app does not guarantee the absolute accuracy, completeness, or currency of any published material at the time of your access.
• Content on the Website is provided "as is" and does not constitute professional advice — technical, legal, financial, or otherwise.
• Before deciding to download, purchase, or use any application, we recommend independently verifying current information directly with the developer or the relevant distribution platform.
