The agreement, and what it consists of
Acetique is published by Proseweave LLC, a Wyoming
limited liability company with its registered address at 30 N Gould St,
Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States. "We" and "us" below mean
Proseweave LLC.
By using Acetique you accept these Terms. If you do not, the remedy is to
stop using the app and delete it.
Your licence to the app itself is Apple's
Licensed
Application End User Licence Agreement — the standard EULA every App
Store app carries unless its developer supplies another. We supply no other
one. These Terms sit alongside it and add the rules below; where the two
conflict about the licence to the app, the EULA governs. What we do with
your data is in the Privacy Policy, which forms part
of these Terms.
You must be 18 or older to use Acetique.
Play money, and nothing else
Acetique is not gambling. The chips, the bankroll, the
points, the levels and the leaderboard positions are scorekeeping devices
inside a practice app. They have no monetary value, cannot be bought, sold,
transferred or exchanged, and nothing cashes out.
Nothing you do wins or loses real money, and no real wager is ever placed.
Chips are dealt to you at the start, earned by playing, or topped up by
choosing to watch a rewarded video — never by paying for them.
Because they are not property, we may adjust, reset or recalculate balances,
points and ranks where a bug, a season rollover or an integrity problem
produced a wrong number. We will not do it to punish ordinary play.
Display names, leaderboards and fair play
A display name is optional and is shown to other players on the boards.
Choose one you would be happy to see in public:
- Nothing obscene, hateful, harassing or threatening, and nothing that
attacks people for who they are.
- Nothing impersonating somebody else, and nothing pretending to be us or
to speak for the app.
- Nothing that advertises, spams, or sends people somewhere else.
- Nobody else's personal information — and since the name is public, think
twice before it is your own.
We may reset a name that breaks these rules, and remove an account from the
boards or close it if it keeps happening.
Play it yourself. Scoring runs on our servers and every
decision is graded there, so a submitted score is never taken on trust. Do
not automate play, script the app, tamper with its traffic, or run several
accounts to move yourself up a board. We record signals that a board is being
gamed, and may correct scores, remove an account from the standings, or close
it. The same goes for accounts that attack the service or load it
unreasonably.
What the strategy chart is — and is not
Acetique grades your decisions against a basic strategy chart for one rule
set: six decks, dealer stands on soft 17, double after split allowed, late
surrender available — with the H17 overrides applied when the app is set to a
dealer who hits soft 17. Within those rules the chart is the mathematically
correct play, and "correct" on your screen means correct for that
chart.
It is not advice about any real table. Real casinos vary the
number of decks, the soft-17 rule, doubling, splitting, surrender and
payouts, and each of those changes the right play. Basic strategy also
reduces the house edge; it does not remove it, and no run of correct
decisions makes blackjack a winning proposition over time. Nothing here is
financial advice, and we promise nothing about how you will do anywhere other
than in this app.
If gambling is causing you or someone you know harm, please seek help from a
support service in your country.
Ads and the free app
Acetique is free and paid for by advertising. A full-screen ad comes up
roughly every eight settled hands, never mid-hand, and rewarded videos are
always optional — you choose to watch one, and the chips are yours whether or
not the advertiser interests you. Ads come from Google AdMob; what they
collect, and how to turn personalisation off, is in the
Privacy Policy. We do not choose which ads appear
and are not responsible for what an advertiser says.
Your account
An anonymous account is created on first launch — there is nothing to sign up
for and nothing to remember. It lives on the device that created it, so
deleting the app or wiping the device can lose access to it, and we cannot
restore an account we have no way to identify. Export your data
(Settings → Privacy → Export my data) if it matters
to you.
You can delete the account at any time from
Settings → Privacy → Delete account. We may suspend
or close an account that breaks these Terms, and we may stop offering the app,
or any part of it, at any time.
No warranty, and the limits of our liability
Acetique is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be available without
interruption, free of faults, or that your progress will never be lost —
though we take reasonable care with all three. To the extent the law allows,
we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for indirect or consequential
loss, or for lost progress, points or standings.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a
consumer, you keep every right your local law gives you.
Changes, and how to reach us
We may update these Terms; the effective date at the top says when they last
changed, and continuing to use the app after that means the new version
applies. If a change is significant, the app will say so.
