Legal
Terms of Use
Acceptance
By using Ayo · Oware, you agree to these terms with Bencode Studio LLC. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
The game
All four rulesets are free and unlimited, with no calendar entitlement or network requirement. Tutorials, computer opponents, local pass-and-play, and cosmetic unlocks are included. One permanent Supporter Pack unlocks every current and future board design released for this app, removes every ad offer, and includes two free hints per match plus one optional seed-funded hint.
Optional ads
Rewarded ads are voluntary. A completed board ad grants one match with the chosen cosmetic board without spending earned seeds. A completed double-seeds ad adds the seeds earned in that finished Kofi match once more, at most once per match. Board ads may grant at most ten rewards and Match Hint at most three rewards per local day. A 30-second app-wide cooldown begins after provider UI opens. Availability is not guaranteed, and every ruleset remains playable without ads.
Supporter Pack
The Supporter Pack is a single permanent, one-time in-app purchase sold and restored through Apple or Google. It unlocks every current and future board design released for this app, removes every ad offer, and includes two free hints per match plus one optional seed-funded hint. The storefront displays the localized price before confirmation and charges it once when confirmed. Restoration requires the same storefront account and ecosystem. Refunded, reversed, or revoked purchases no longer provide the entitlement after storefront reconciliation. Purchase rights, refunds, and family sharing, if any, follow storefront terms and mandatory consumer law.
Fair use
Do not tamper with saved matches, rewards, advertising callbacks, purchases, or app integrity; interfere with another service; reverse engineer where prohibited by law; or use the app unlawfully. Cosmetic rewards have no cash value and affect no competitive outcome.
Disclaimer and limitation
The app is provided as available without warranties beyond those that cannot legally be excluded. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bencode Studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
Changes and law
Material changes update the effective date. District of Columbia law applies except where your mandatory local consumer law controls. Contact info@bencodestudio.com.
