Terms of Service

Deducely by Boulton Games. Effective October 29, 2026.

These terms apply to Deducely, the daily sudoku race app published by Boulton Games. By installing or playing Deducely, you agree to them.

Who we are

Deducely is published by Boulton Games, the trade name of Jeremy Boulton, a sole proprietor in Virginia, USA. “We” and “us” mean Boulton Games. “You” means anyone who installs or plays Deducely.

These terms work alongside the Google Play Terms of Service and the Google Play Games Services terms. If anything here conflicts with Google’s terms on purchases or refunds, Google’s terms win.

Purchases and your license

• Deducely is a one-time purchase through Google Play. It contains no ads and no in-app purchases.
• Google Play processes the payment. Refund requests go through Google Play under its refund policy. We cannot issue refunds directly.
• Buying Deducely gives you a personal, non-transferable license to install and play it on devices linked to your Google account. You do not buy the game itself.
• You may not copy, resell, decompile, or modify the app, or use it to build a competing product.
• We may update Deducely to fix bugs or meet store requirements. If we ever stop supporting it, we will not remove the copy already on your device.

Daily races, leaderboards and fair play

Every day, every player gets the same puzzle for each variant, based on the date. Your first completed attempt each day is your ranked result. Replays, practice, and archive puzzles are never ranked.

You can play without signing in, and your times and rank stay on your phone. Only players signed in to Google Play Games appear on leaderboards.

• Your leaderboard name comes from your Google Play Games profile. Keep it free of offensive, hateful, or impersonating content.
• Do not cheat. That includes modified apps, automation, changing your device clock to get extra ranked attempts or an early look at a puzzle, and submitting times you did not earn.
• We may remove any time, score, or rank we reasonably believe breaks these rules, and we may report the account to Google.
• Leaderboard positions and rank titles are for fun. They have no cash value, and we may reset or rebalance them when we update the game.
• Your times, streaks, and rank live on your device. If you uninstall the app or lose the device, that history may be lost. We cannot restore it.

Privacy

The Deducely privacy policy explains what data the app handles and why. It is also linked from the store listing and inside the app.

Ownership

Deducely, its puzzles, art, music, rank titles, and characters (including Deuce the penguin) belong to Boulton Games. Google Play, Google Play Games, and Android are trademarks of Google LLC.

Disclaimers and liability

• Deducely is provided “as is”. We work to keep it stable, but we do not promise it will be error-free or always available.
• To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim about Deducely is limited to the amount you paid for it.
• Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer laws that cannot be waived where you live.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The effective date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to play after a change means you accept it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA, except where your local consumer law says otherwise.
