Terms of Use

Effective date: 5 November 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and New Version Limited, a company based in New Zealand ("we", "us"), about your use of the Home Game Show: Quiz Maker app (the "App"). They also serve as the end user licence agreement (EULA) for the App. Please read them. If you do not agree, please do not install or use the App.

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing or using the App, or by buying Home Game Show Plus, you agree to these Terms. If you are under the age of majority where you live, please make sure a parent or guardian has read these Terms with you. Our Privacy Policy, available in the App and on our website, explains how the App handles information.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment (including hosting games for your family, friends and groups), and in line with these Terms and the rules of the app store you got it from. The App is licensed, not sold. We keep all rights that are not expressly granted to you.

3. What you may not do

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the App or its content, except as the law allows;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, or try to extract its source code, except to the extent the law allows despite this restriction;
• remove, bypass or tamper with purchase checks, or unlock paid content without paying for it;
• rent, lease, sell, sub-license or distribute the App or its content;
• extract and reuse the App's art, music, sounds, themes, starter shows or other content outside the App;
• attack, overload or probe the live room service, or use it for anything other than running a game of Home Game Show;
• use the App in any way that breaks the law or the rights of others.

4. Your shows, photos and live rooms

Home Game Show lets you create your own questions, answers, names and photos. You keep ownership of what you create. You give us only the permission needed to run the App for you: to store your content on your device and, when you open a live room, to pass it to the devices in that room.

You are responsible for the content you add. Please only add text and photos that you have the right to use, that are lawful, and that you are comfortable showing to the people in the room. Do not add content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else's rights or privacy. If you add photos of other people, get their permission first, especially for children.

When you open a live room, anyone who has the four-letter room code can join it while it is open. Share the code only with the people you are playing with. Everyone in the room can see what the host puts on screen. Rooms close when the host ends them or after 6 hours of inactivity, and the relay then deletes the room's data. Players join with a name of their own choosing; the host may remove a player from the room.

If you import a show that someone else made, you do so at your own risk. We cannot check the content of shows that other people create or share.

5. Home Game Show Plus

Home Game Show is free to download and free to play. Everything needed to play is free: every format and round type, photos, three themes (Classic Studio, Snowy Night and Sunday Table), up to 3 shows of your own, and live rooms of up to 4 phones. Starter shows can always be played. Home Game Show Plus is an optional upgrade that unlocks every theme, unlimited shows of your own and live rooms of up to 16 phones.

Home Game Show Plus is offered in three ways:

• Plus Weekly: an auto-renewing subscription with a length of one week, priced at USD 3.99 per week.
• Plus Yearly: an auto-renewing subscription with a length of one year, priced at USD 9.99 per year.
• Plus Lifetime: a one-time purchase, priced at USD 19.99, that unlocks Plus on your store account. It does not renew.

Prices are shown in US dollars here for reference. Prices vary by country and currency, and may include local taxes. The price that applies to you is always shown in the store's purchase sheet and on the App's purchase screen before you confirm. A price change that applies to existing subscribers is handled and notified by Apple or Google under their rules.

Payment and renewal

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account (on iPhone, iPad and Mac) or your Google account (on Android) when you confirm the purchase.
• Weekly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically for the same length of time, at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep Plus until the end of the period you have already paid for.

How to manage or cancel a subscription

On iPhone or iPad:

1. Open the Settings app and tap your name at the top.
2. Tap Subscriptions.
3. Choose Home Game Show Plus and tap Cancel Subscription.

On Mac, open the App Store, click your name, choose Account Settings and then Subscriptions.

On Android (Google Play):

1. Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile picture.
2. Tap Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
3. Choose Home Game Show Plus and tap Cancel subscription.

Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. You must cancel in your account settings as described above. More help is available from Apple and Google.

Lifetime purchase and Restore Purchases

The lifetime purchase is a one-time, non-consumable purchase tied to the Apple ID or Google account you used to buy it. It is not tied to a single device. If you reinstall the App or move to a new device, sign in to the same store account and choose Restore Purchases in the App to unlock Plus again. Restore Purchases also restores an active subscription.

Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple or Google, not by us. We cannot issue refunds ourselves. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their policies: for Apple purchases, visit reportaproblem.apple.com; for Google Play purchases, see Google Play refund help. Nothing in these Terms affects any legal right you have to a refund, repair or replacement, including your rights under consumer protection law.

6. Your consumer rights

If you are a consumer, you may have rights under laws that cannot be excluded or limited by contract. These include, for example, the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986, the Australian Consumer Law, and consumer laws in the European Union and the United Kingdom, including any right to cancel a digital purchase and any statutory guarantees that digital content be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Nothing in these Terms limits those rights. Where these Terms conflict with a right that the law does not allow to be limited, the law applies.

7. Ownership and intellectual property

The App, including its software, starter shows, text, characters (including Pip), art, themes, music, sound effects, names and logos, belongs to New Version Limited or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other laws. Starter shows are original content written for the App. Parts of the App's art and sound were created by us with the help of software tools, including AI tools. You get no ownership of any of it from using the App. Third-party open-source components in the App remain under their own licences.

Home Game Show is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any television programme, broadcaster or game show producer.

8. Your conduct

When you contact us, please be respectful and honest. Please do not use the App, a live room or our support email to harass anyone, to send us malicious software, or to pretend to be someone else.

9. Availability and changes to the App

We may update, change or remove features, content or themes, and we may stop offering the App or the live room service, at any time. We will try to avoid removing anything you have paid for without good reason. Playing on one device needs no internet connection, but you need one to run or join a live room and to buy or restore purchases.

10. Disclaimers

The App is a game provided for entertainment. To the fullest extent the law allows, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", and we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or suited to a particular purpose, or that a live room will always connect. This does not affect any guarantee or warranty that the law says cannot be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data (including loss of shows and photos stored on your device, so please keep your own backups), or loss arising from your use of or inability to use the App. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid us for the App (through the store) in the 12 months before the claim arose, or, if you paid nothing, to NZD 100. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for breach of consumer guarantees where the law does not permit them to be limited.

12. Apple App Store terms

If you got the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies. These terms are between you and us only, not Apple.

• Acknowledgement: These Terms are concluded between you and New Version Limited only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content. These Terms do not give you rights beyond the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, and the App may be used only on Apple-branded products that you own or control.
• Scope of licence: The licence granted to you is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Maintenance and support: We, and not Apple, are responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
• Warranty: We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
• Product claims: We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App. This includes product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• Intellectual property claims: If a third party claims that the App or your possession and use of it infringes that party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• Legal compliance: You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a US Government embargo, or that has been designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (b) you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer contact: Questions, complaints or claims about the App can be sent to us at homegameshow.support@newversion.studio.
• Third-party terms: You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App, for example your wireless data service agreement.
• Third-party beneficiary: Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

13. Google Play terms

If you got the App from Google Play, your purchase and use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App or its content or for providing support for it. Subscriptions and purchases are processed by Google Play, and refunds are subject to Google's policies and your statutory rights.

14. Termination

You can stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your licence if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms, and we may remove a player or a room from the live room service that is being misused. When your licence ends, you must stop using the App and delete it. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as those on ownership, disclaimers, liability and governing law, will survive. Ending your licence does not end a subscription; you must cancel that in your store account.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and the courts of New Zealand have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute about them. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any protection that the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live gives you, and you may also bring a claim in the courts of that country if the law allows.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when we add features or when the law changes. The effective date above shows when they were last updated. If a change is significant, we will tell you in the App or on our website. If you keep using the App after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, you can stop using the App and delete it.
