Terms of use
Applies to the Tapora game and to taporagame.com. Last updated: 15 August 2026.
1. Who we are and what this covers
Tapora is published by Spike Flow, a French simplified joint-stock company
(SAS) with share capital of €1,000, registered office at 13 rue Max de Reinach,
67210 Niedernai, France, registered under SIREN 980 505 234 (RCS Saverne)
("we", "us"). These terms form the agreement between you and us for
the Tapora mobile game, distributed under the identifier com.taporagame.tapora,
and for this website.
By installing or playing Tapora you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not install the game, or uninstall it.
Our privacy policy is part of this agreement.
2. Your licence to play
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and play Tapora on devices you own or control, for your private, non-commercial use.
You may not:
- copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the game or any of its files, including music and artwork;
- decompile or reverse-engineer the game, except to the extent that law expressly permits it;
- modify the game, or use a modified client, an emulator-based automation, or any tool that plays for you;
- extract the soundtrack for distribution or re-use;
- use the game to build a competing product or dataset.
Everything not expressly granted stays with us. Playing the game gives you no ownership over it.
3. Your account
The game creates an anonymous account on first launch so your progress can be saved and synchronised. You may optionally link it to Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In to recover it on another device. You are responsible for the device and the store account you use.
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country, to hold an account. You may delete your account at any time — see Delete my account.
4. Fair play
You agree not to:
- tamper with the game, its network traffic or its stored files in order to alter scores, unlock content or gain any advantage;
- submit scores that were not obtained by playing;
- choose a nickname that is insulting, hateful, sexual, deceptive, that impersonates someone else, or that infringes a trade mark;
- attempt to access another player's account or data;
- overload, probe or disrupt our servers.
We may reset an implausible score, rename or blank an inappropriate nickname, or suspend an account that breaks these rules. Where the breach is minor we will warn you first, and you can always contest a decision at support@taporagame.com.
5. Purchases
The game may offer additional music sets for sale. All purchases are handled by Apple or by Google through their in-app purchase systems — we never receive your payment details. The price shown at the moment of purchase, taxes included, is the price you pay.
A purchased set is a one-off, non-consumable purchase tied to the store account used. It can be restored on any device signed in to that store account. Linking your Tapora account to Apple or Google is what carries entitlements across devices.
Refunds are handled by the store that took the payment: reportaproblem.apple.com for the App Store, and Google Play's refund request flow for Android. If a purchase fails to unlock after a successful payment, contact us and we will fix it.
We do not offer virtual currency, loot boxes, or randomised paid rewards.
6. Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer in the European Union, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance purchase. Downloadable digital content is an exception: by buying a set and getting immediate access to it, you ask for delivery to start at once and you acknowledge that your right of withdrawal ends once delivery has begun (art. L. 221-28 of the French Consumer Code). This does not affect the legal guarantees in section 10.
7. Our content, your nickname
Tapora, its name, its logo, its music, its artwork, its charts and its code are protected by copyright and belong to us or to our licensors. The soundtrack is composed for the game and is licensed to you only as part of the game.
The only content you contribute is your nickname. By choosing one you allow us to display it to other players next to your scores, for as long as your account exists. You keep whatever rights you have in it, and you confirm it does not infringe anyone else's.
8. Availability and changes
Gameplay itself never requires a network connection: you can play offline, and your progress is stored on your device first. Account features — synchronisation, rankings, restoring purchases — need a connection and may be interrupted for maintenance or for reasons outside our control.
We may add, change or remove tracks, features and game balance. If we ever have to shut the online service down, we will announce it in the game and by e-mail where we have one, at least 30 days beforehand, and content already purchased will remain playable on the device where it is installed for as long as the game runs there.
We may update these terms. Material changes are announced in the game before they take effect; continuing to play afterwards means you accept the new version. If you do not, you may delete your account.
9. Ending the agreement
You can end this agreement at any time by deleting your account and uninstalling the game. We may suspend or terminate your account for a serious or repeated breach of section 4, after notice where circumstances allow. Terminating does not refund purchases already delivered, except where the law says otherwise.
10. Legal guarantees and liability
Consumers benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content (art. L. 224-25-12 and following of the French Consumer Code) and from the guarantee against hidden defects. Nothing here limits those rights, nor our liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or gross negligence.
Beyond those guarantees, and to the extent the law permits, the game is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be free of every bug, nor that it will suit a particular purpose. We are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, for lost progress caused by a device failure or an uninstall before synchronisation, or for a store's own decisions.
11. Health and comfort
Tapora is played with fast repeated thumb movements and uses flashing lights and rapid visual motion. Take a break every 30 minutes, stop if you feel pain in your hands or wrists, keep the volume at a level that lets you protect your hearing, and do not play if you are photosensitive or prone to seizures without asking a doctor first. Do not play while driving or walking in traffic.
12. Terms required by the app stores
Apple. This agreement is between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the game or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. If the game fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever. We are responsible for handling any claim relating to the game, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy law. We are responsible for investigating and defending any third-party claim that the game infringes intellectual property rights. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and may enforce it against you.
Google. Where you obtained the game from Google Play, Google Play's own terms of service also apply to that distribution and to any purchase made there.
13. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your own country of residence.
Talk to us first — support@taporagame.com — most problems are settled in one e-mail. If we cannot agree, a consumer may refer the dispute free of charge to a consumer mediator, or use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform. Failing that, the competent courts are those designated by the applicable rules of civil procedure.
