Purchases sold through Link

For checkout marked “Sold through Link”, Link, a Stripe product, is merchant of record and handles payments, receipts, tax and subscription billing. Laware provides the game, account access and service support. The service terms below apply to these purchases.

1. Contracting party and contact

The service and direct web purchases are supplied by Laware GmbH, Seitenstettengasse 5/37, 1010 Vienna, Austria, FN 602086x, Commercial Court of Vienna (Handelsgericht Wien). Email: office@laware.gmbh. Telephone: +436706054310.

These direct web terms apply to purchases made directly from us on the web. A store's billing terms additionally apply to purchases made through Apple, Google Play, or Microsoft.

2. Service and technical requirements

Minimal Sudoku is a digital Sudoku service. Free play is available without a purchase. Classic unlocks premium themes and unlimited in-game Smart Hints. Pro additionally unlocks the Pro features shown on the purchase page, including advanced Pathfinder tools, image import after the free allowance, and account-based cloud sync. The purchase page is authoritative for the exact feature set included in each plan when you order.

Paid access requires a Minimal Sudoku account. A current standards-compatible browser or a supported app installation is required. Internet access is required for purchase, account verification, entitlement checks, cloud sync, and server-based features. Availability of individual wrapper or device functions can depend on the platform. We provide legally required updates and remedies for digital services and content.

3. Ordering, prices, payment, and delivery

The plan page is an invitation to order. For direct web sales, selecting a plan opens Stripe Checkout. Immediately before the final paid order, Stripe shows the selected plan, total price, billing interval where applicable, accepted payment methods, and the required acceptance of these Terms. The contract is concluded when we accept the order through successful payment confirmation and activate the entitlement.

Consumer prices are total prices including applicable taxes. There are no shipping costs. The final total, currency, tax treatment, and available payment methods are displayed in Checkout before you place the paid order. Access normally starts immediately after the payment provider confirms the purchase and is attached to the signed-in account.

4. Plan duration, renewal, and cancellation

• Monthly Pro: renews automatically each month at the then-confirmed recurring price until canceled.
• Annual Pro: renews automatically each year at the then-confirmed recurring price until canceled.
• Classic and Lifetime Pro: are one-time purchases and do not renew. “Lifetime” means a non-expiring account entitlement to the supported Pro service, not a recurring subscription; mandatory rights remain unaffected if the service materially changes or ends.

You can cancel renewal at any time from the Pro page or the relevant provider's subscription management. Cancellation is free and takes effect at the end of the paid billing period; access continues until then. There is no minimum commitment beyond the current paid period. A scheduled plan change and its timing are shown before confirmation. We will provide legally required notice of price or contract changes and any resulting termination right.

5. Withdrawal and refunds

Consumers who buy directly from us on the web retain the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal from the day the contract is concluded. We allow immediate access without asking you to waive that right and, if you withdraw in time, we refund the full purchase price without deducting for use during those 14 days. We may then end the paid entitlement. Details and the model form are in our Withdrawal and Refund Information.

Outside a withdrawal right, merely not using a plan does not create a right to a prorated refund. This does not limit statutory warranty, conformity, repayment, or damages rights. Store purchases are canceled and refunded through the store where required by its process, without limiting mandatory consumer rights against the responsible trader.

6. Fair use and accounts

Keep account credentials secure and use the service lawfully. Do not interfere with security, automate abusive traffic, evade feature or import limits, manipulate ranked play, or resell account access. We may proportionately restrict affected functions where reasonably necessary to protect users or the service. Before a material suspension, we will give notice and an opportunity to respond where reasonable and legally required.

7. Conformity, availability, and liability

Statutory rights for defective or non-conforming digital services and content apply. We do not exclude liability for intent, gross negligence, personal injury, product liability, guarantees, or any other liability that cannot legally be limited. For ordinary negligence, liability is limited only to the extent permitted by mandatory law. Temporary maintenance and events outside reasonable control may affect availability, but do not remove mandatory remedies.

8. Governing law and disputes

Austrian law applies, excluding conflict-of-law rules, but this choice does not deprive consumers of mandatory protections of their country of habitual residence. Mandatory consumer jurisdiction rules remain unaffected. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve a complaint. We do not voluntarily commit to an alternative dispute-resolution body unless required in the individual case.

9. Privacy and changes

Our Privacy Policy explains personal-data processing. Changes to these Terms apply prospectively. We will not retroactively reduce a paid entitlement or override mandatory rights through a unilateral change. If a provision is invalid, the remaining provisions continue to apply and the statutory rule replaces it.
