Applies to the Kascade app.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of Kascade (“Kascade,” “the App,” or “the Game”), developed and published by Ketch Labs Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By downloading, accessing, or using Kascade, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the App.
About Kascade
Kascade is a casual word game in which players interact with letter tiles, build words, earn scores, complete game modes, and use optional in-game items and features.
Features, game modes, rules, scoring systems, rewards, and available content may change as the App is updated.
Eligibility
You may use Kascade only if you are legally permitted to use the App under the laws applicable to you.
If you are under the age required to enter into these Terms in your country or region, a parent or legal guardian should review these Terms and provide any required permission.
License to Use Kascade
Ketch Labs Inc. grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use Kascade for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes.
This license does not transfer ownership of Kascade or any of its content to you.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit the App or its content except where permitted by law
- Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the App except where applicable law expressly permits it
- Use cheats, exploits, automation, bots, or unauthorized software to manipulate gameplay

Virtual Items and In-Game Currency
Kascade may include virtual items such as coins, boosters, power-ups, or other digital game content.
Virtual items:
- Have no real-world monetary value
- Cannot be exchanged for cash
- Cannot be transferred outside Kascade unless the App specifically provides such functionality
- Are licensed for use within the App and are not your personal property
We may adjust the availability, functionality, pricing, rewards, or balance of virtual items when reasonably necessary to operate, balance, or improve the game.
In-App Purchases
Kascade may offer optional in-app purchases, including consumable virtual items such as coins and boosters.
Purchases are processed by the platform through which you obtained Kascade, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Prices and applicable taxes may vary by country, region, currency, and platform.
Purchases are subject to the payment, refund, and other applicable terms of the platform that processes the transaction.
Consumable items may be depleted when used and generally cannot be restored in the same way as non-consumable purchases.
Except where required by law or provided by the applicable app-store platform, purchases are final and non-refundable.
Advertising and Rewarded Ads
Kascade may display advertisements.
Some advertisements may be optional rewarded ads. If you choose to watch an eligible rewarded advertisement, you may receive an in-game reward after the required advertisement conditions have been completed.
The availability, type, and amount of rewards may change.
We do not guarantee that rewarded advertisements will always be available. Availability may depend on factors such as your region, device, internet connection, advertising provider, and available advertising inventory.
Gameplay, Scores and Leaderboards
Kascade may record gameplay information such as scores, completed games, achievements, statistics, rankings, or leaderboard positions.
We may correct, remove, or invalidate scores, rankings, rewards, or gameplay results when we reasonably determine that they resulted from cheating, exploitation, technical errors, manipulation, or other violations of these Terms.
Leaderboards and rankings may change as other players participate and as ranking systems are updated.
We do not guarantee that gameplay progress, scores, rankings, or statistics will be permanently available.
Game Progress and Data
Some Kascade gameplay data may be stored locally on your device.
Deleting Kascade, clearing its data, changing devices, or losing access to your device may result in the loss of locally stored progress, virtual items, settings, or other game information.
Where cloud-based features are available, additional recovery options may be provided, but we do not guarantee that all gameplay data can always be recovered.
Game Updates and Changes
We may update Kascade from time to time to introduce new features, game modes, content, balance changes, bug fixes, security improvements, or other modifications.
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features when reasonably necessary for the operation or development of the App.
Certain features may require an internet connection or a newer version of Kascade.
