Terms of Use

The ground rules for game night, in plain words.

Last updated November 12, 2026

The short version

  • Cardflix is free to play. Unlock All is a one‑time purchase through Apple or Google Play.
  • Games run on your own Wi-Fi. We don't host, see or moderate them.
  • You're responsible for the names, drawings and decks you make and share.
  • Be kind. Don't use Cardflix to hurt or harass anyone.
  • Cardflix is provided as is, and your app store's terms also apply.

Who these terms cover

These terms cover the Cardflix apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, the browser page guests use to join a game, and this website (together, “Cardflix”). “We” and “us” means the developer of Cardflix. By downloading, opening or using Cardflix, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

Our Privacy Policy explains what Cardflix does (and doesn't do) with your information.

Your license from Apple or Google

On iPhone and iPad, Cardflix comes from the App Store, so Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the app too. It gives you a personal license to use the app on Apple devices you own or control. If these terms and Apple's agreement disagree about that license, Apple's agreement wins. Apple isn't responsible for Cardflix or its support; we are.

On Android, Cardflix comes from Google Play, and the Google Play Terms of Service apply to getting the app and buying Unlock All. Google isn't responsible for Cardflix or its support either; we are.

How games work

When you host, your phone runs the room and the other players connect to it over your local network. We don't run servers for games, so we can't see, store or moderate what happens in a room, and a game ends when the host closes it. The host decides who joins and can remove players. Only let people you know into your room.

Unlock All

  • Unlock All is a one-time in-app purchase. The App Store or Google Play shows the price for your country before you buy.
  • It unlocks every deck in all three games, lets you make as many of your own decks as you like, and includes decks we add later at no extra cost.
  • Only the host needs it. Everyone in their room plays the unlocked decks.
  • On iPhone and iPad, Apple handles payment, Family Sharing and refunds. To ask for a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com.
  • On Android, Google Play handles payment and refunds, under Google Play's refund policies.
  • You can restore it on your devices any time from the app's Settings, signed in to the same Apple Account or Google Account you bought it with.

We may add, change or retire decks and features over time. We won't charge you again for anything Unlock All already includes.

Your decks

You can make your own decks and share them with a link or QR code. A shared deck lives inside its link: it isn't uploaded to us, and anyone who has the link can open it and pass it on. So:

  • Only put in a deck what you're happy for anyone with the link to see.
  • Don't include other people's private information, or anything you don't have the right to share.
  • You're responsible for the decks you make and share. Decks never reach us, so we don't review them.

Your decks belong to you. When you share one, the people you share it with may play it, copy it and pass it on.

Playing nicely

Names, avatars, guesses and drawings are shown to everyone in the room. Don't use Cardflix to:

  • harass, bully, threaten or impersonate anyone,
  • share hateful, sexually explicit or illegal content,
  • break the law or other people's rights, or
  • interfere with other people's devices or networks, or try to break, copy or reverse-engineer the app.

Kids and families

Cardflix is made for all ages. Kids should have a parent's or guardian's OK before buying Unlock All or playing with people they don't know. Parents can manage purchases with Screen Time and Ask to Buy on Apple devices, or with Google Play's parental controls and purchase approvals on Android.

Ours and yours

The Cardflix app, name, mascots, artwork, built-in decks and this website belong to us. Share screenshots, drawings and awards cards from your game nights as much as you like. Please don't copy the app, its decks or its artwork to make your own product.

No guarantees

We work hard to make Cardflix fun and reliable, but it's provided “as is”. Some networks, such as guest, hotel or school Wi-Fi, stop phones from seeing each other, so we can't promise Cardflix will work on every network or device. The support page has fixes for the usual problems. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no other promises about Cardflix.

Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or unexpected losses from using Cardflix, and our total liability to you for anything related to Cardflix is limited to what you paid for it. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer laws that can't be changed by agreement.

Changes

We may update these terms as Cardflix changes. When we do, we'll update this page and the date at the top, and using Cardflix after that means you accept the new terms. You can stop using Cardflix any time by deleting the app. We may stop offering Cardflix, or parts of it, in the future.
