Terms of Use

Version 2026-09-20 · Effective when accepted in the App

1. Provider and scope

These Terms govern the mobile game Creature, its game services, websites and support channels (together, the “Service”). The provider is Starline Studios (“Starline”, “we”, “us”). More information is available in our Imprint. Contact: info@creature-ai.org.

When you actively accept these Terms in the App, you enter into a contract for use of the Service. Storefront terms, including Google Play terms, apply separately to downloads and payments. Mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence remain unaffected.

2. Age, account and access

Creature is for persons aged 13 or older. Do not use it if you are under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms where required by law.

We may use age-appropriate signals supplied by an app store and a privacy-minimising 13+ declaration to provide an appropriate experience. We do not ask for or store a date of birth for this purpose. Until an appropriate store signal is available, we may restrict sensitive features such as rewarded ads, public chat, friend discovery, public sharing and purchases. We may change availability or block access where required by law, a parent/app store revokes approval, or an age signal shows that the Service is not appropriate.

A Google account is currently required to sign in. Keep your account secure and do not let another person use it in a way that breaches these Terms. You are responsible for activity from your account unless applicable law says otherwise.

3. Licence to use Creature

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the Service for private, non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms and applicable law. The Service, game systems, code, art direction, names, text, trademarks and other protected elements belong to us or our licensors. No ownership is transferred to you.

You may not copy, sell, rent, reverse engineer, modify, scrape, exploit bugs, interfere with the Service, circumvent access controls or use bots/automation unless we expressly allow it in writing.

4. Community and user conduct

Public profiles, friends, chat, promotions and other community areas are optional and may be unavailable to some accounts. You must follow the Community Guidelines. In particular, do not post or attempt to distribute unlawful, sexually explicit, exploitative, hateful, violent, harassing, deceptive, infringing, privacy-invasive, spammy or malicious material.

We may remove content, restrict visibility, mute, suspend or terminate accounts where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect people or comply with law. We will consider context and use proportionate measures where appropriate. You can report in-app content using the reporting tools or contact support.

5. AI-generated Creature images

Creature can generate fictional Creature images from fixed prompt templates and your in-game selections. It does not currently accept free-text image prompts or user photo uploads. AI output can be unexpected, unavailable, similar to output for others, or legally/technically limited. Do not treat it as professional advice or as a depiction of a real person or event.

As between you and us, Starline retains all rights that it may hold in game-generated output and related game content. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable licence to view, use and share your generated Creature images within the Service and for private, non-commercial purposes. This does not claim rights that cannot legally be owned or licensed, and it does not grant a right to use third-party brands, persons or protected material. Commercial use requires our prior written permission.

We may display generated Creature images in the Service when you choose a public/community feature. We may use them, together with associated in-game metadata, to operate, secure, moderate, market and improve the Service. Details of AI processing and transparency are in the Privacy Policy.

6. Virtual items, purchases and randomised items

Energy, resources, cards, cosmetics and other virtual items are licensed digital game content. They have no cash value, are not property, cannot be exchanged for money and may not be transferred, sold or traded outside features we explicitly provide. We may correct grants caused by technical errors, fraud or abuse, subject to mandatory law.

Some items may have randomised in-game effects. Where a purchase can provide such an item, the relevant probabilities and material mechanics are displayed near the purchase before you buy. We may change future items, offers or probabilities, but will not retroactively alter an item already granted to you except to correct an error, prevent abuse or comply with law.

7. Subscription: Energy Pass

The Energy Pass currently offers auto-renewing 3-month and 12-month base plans through Google Play. There is no trial period. During an active pass, the current benefit is one Energy every 12 hours (up to two per day), and accrued pass Energy currently continues to collect while you are away. The exact price, currency, taxes where applicable, renewal period and next charge are shown by Google Play before confirmation.

Payment is charged by Google Play when you confirm the purchase. The pass renews automatically unless you cancel it in Google Play before the next renewal. Access continues until the end of the paid period. Deleting your Creature account does not cancel a Google Play subscription; use Google Play’s subscription-management page to cancel it. Previously granted Energy remains subject to these Terms.

We may change the price, benefits, storage behaviour or introduce a future cap for newly accruing pass Energy. For material changes, we will give the notice, choice or consent required by applicable law and Google Play. A price change does not remove mandatory cancellation, refund or consumer rights.

8. Service changes, availability and support

We may update, maintain, improve, add, remove or discontinue features, content, events and technical components. We will provide advance notice where required for material changes to paid digital content or services. Availability depends on networks, app stores and third-party infrastructure, so uninterrupted service cannot be guaranteed.

Support may be handled by Starline personnel and confidentiality-bound contractors. We may introduce carefully controlled automated or AI-assisted triage, translation or drafting for support in the future only after updating the Privacy Policy and applying the required safeguards. Do not send passwords, payment card data, government IDs, health data or other unnecessary sensitive information to support.

9. Suspension, termination and account deletion

You may stop using the Service at any time and can request account deletion in the App. We may suspend or terminate access for material breaches, security risks, fraud, repeated harmful conduct, legal requirements or prolonged service discontinuation. Where reasonable, we will explain the action and provide a review path. Deletion and retention details are in the Privacy Policy.

10. Consumer rights, warranties and liability

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory rights, including statutory rights concerning digital content and digital services. Where legally permitted, the Service is provided on an “as available” basis and we do not promise that every feature, AI output or third-party service will always be available or error-free.

Under German law, we are liable without limitation for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, fraudulent concealment, guarantees and liability that cannot be excluded by law. For slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law. These rules also apply to our representatives and agents.

11. Applicable law and changes to these Terms

German law applies, excluding conflict-of-law rules, provided that this does not deprive consumers of mandatory protection under the law of their habitual residence. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in consumer arbitration before a consumer arbitration board unless a mandatory law requires otherwise.

We may update these Terms for legitimate reasons, including legal, security, technical, operational or feature changes. We will provide an effective date and notify you of material changes in-app or by another legally appropriate method. Continued use is not treated as consent where the law requires affirmative consent; in that case we will request it before the new terms apply.
