Who we are

Starlight Dolls: Dress Up is made and published by Alexandros Ballas, an independent developer based in Athens, Greece. “We”, “us” and “our” mean Alexandros Ballas. You can reach us at [email protected].

These terms

These terms cover the Starlight Dolls: Dress Up app for iPhone, iPad and Android, the collections you can buy in it, and this website, starlightdolls.com. By downloading or playing the game, you agree to them.

The store you got the game from has its own terms, which also apply:

• App Store: Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement and Media Services Terms.
• Google Play: the Google Play Terms of Service.

How we handle information is described in our privacy policy. In short, the game collects none.

For parents and guardians

The game is made for children. If your child plays it, you accept these terms on their behalf and decide what they may buy. Purchases, and the link from the game to this website, are behind a grown-up check: a multiplication question asked in words. You can also use Ask to Buy on Apple devices and purchase approvals on Google Play to approve each purchase.

Playing the game

The game is free to download and play. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for your own non-commercial enjoyment on devices you own or control, as the store's usage rules allow.

Please don't:

• copy, sell, rent or redistribute the game, its artwork or its music;
• modify, decompile or reverse-engineer it, except where the law allows you to;
• get around the purchase system, or unlock collections you haven't bought;
• use the game, its characters or its artwork in other products or for commercial purposes.

We update the game from time to time, and updates may add, change or remove features and items. Some features may need a recent version of iOS, iPadOS or Android.

Collections (in-app purchases)

• What you buy. The Halloween, Christmas and summer collections are optional one-time purchases. Buying one lets you keep looks made with its pieces. “Every collection” unlocks all of them at once, including collections we add later, and its price only counts the collections you don't own yet.
• Prices and payment. The store shows the price in your currency, including any taxes it charges, before you confirm. Apple or Google takes the payment. We never see your payment details.
• Trying on is free; keeping needs the collection. Every piece in every collection can be tried on for free, as often as you like. Tapping Snapshot adds the look to My Looks and saves its picture, but only once every collection it uses is unlocked. If the look includes a piece from a collection you haven't bought, Snapshot opens the grown-up check and the shop instead, and nothing is saved.
• Restoring. Collections belong to the Apple ID or Google account that bought them. Tap Restore purchases in the Collections tab to unlock them again on another device or after reinstalling.
• Refunds. Apple and Google handle refund requests under their own policies: request a refund from Apple, or from Google Play. If a purchase is refunded, its collection locks again: its pieces can still be tried on, but new looks with them can't be kept. If a collection you paid for doesn't unlock, write to us and we'll help.

Collections are digital content, delivered as soon as the purchase completes. Where the law gives you a right to withdraw from a purchase, it applies as described by the store at checkout and in its terms.

Your looks and snapshots

The outfits you put together and the snapshot pictures you save stay on your device, and they're yours to keep. You're welcome to share snapshots with family and friends and on social media, as long as it isn't for commercial purposes. The characters, clothes and artwork that appear in them remain ours.

Ownership

The game, including its characters, artwork, clothes, scenes, music, sounds and code, and the name Starlight Dolls, belongs to Alexandros Ballas and is protected by copyright and other laws. Buying a collection gives you a licence to use it in the game, not ownership of the artwork.

Some parts of the game and this website are open-source software and fonts, such as the Nunito and Dancing Script typefaces under the SIL Open Font License. Those parts are used under their own licences, and these terms don't limit your rights under them.

Warranties and liability

We make the game with care and want it to work well on your device, but it's provided “as is”, and we can't promise it will always be free of errors or available in every store.

Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer, including your rights if the game or a collection doesn't work as described, or our liability where the law doesn't allow it to be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, as far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for collections in the twelve months before the claim.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Greece. If you live in the European Union or another country with consumer protection laws, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we'll update this page and its effective date. If a change matters for purchases you've already made, it won't take away a collection you've bought.
