1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, accessing, or using the VANDALEAK app (“App Service”) and/or the VANDALEAK.COM website (“Website”), together referred to as the “Services”, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

The Services are operated by Biokip Labs Srl (“Biokip”, “us”, “we”, “our”):

  • Legal entity: Biokip Labs Srl
  • Email: hello@vandaleak.com
  • Postal address: Corso Venezia 43, Milan 20121, Italy

2. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

We will notify users of material changes by posting a notice in the News area on the Website and/or in the Mailbox area of the app.

Your continued use of the Services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.

3. Eligibility

The Services are intended only for individuals aged 13 years or older.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 13, you must not use the Services.

Because the Services may be used without a named account and Biokip does not independently verify each user’s age, Biokip may not be able to identify whether a particular player is under 13.

4. Player ID and Access

When you first use the app, an anonymous or pseudonymous Player ID is created to represent your profile within the Services.

The Player ID is stored locally on your device. Biokip does not require your real name to use the Services and does not link the Player ID to your name, email address, or other directly identifying information.

Because the Player ID is device-based and locally stored, if you uninstall the app, lose your device, or lose access to local app data, Biokip may be unable to recover your profile, uploads, preferences, or associated game data.

You are responsible for activity carried out through your Player ID and from access to your device. You must not attempt to access another user’s account or profile, impersonate another person, or interfere with another user’s use of the Services.

5. Licence to Use the Services

Subject to these Terms, Biokip grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited licence to access and use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use.

This licence does not permit you to:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit any part of the Services;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the app or related systems;
  • use the Services in violation of applicable law; or
  • use the Services in any way not expressly permitted by these Terms.

All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Biokip.

6. Allowed Use and Restrictions

You may use the Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You must not, including through any upload, publication, or sharing function:

  • upload, create, share, transmit, or otherwise make available unlawful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate content;
  • upload or share content containing nudity, excessive violence, self-harm, illegal activity, or offensive subject matter;
  • upload or share content that infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or any other rights of a third party;
  • upload or share personal data of third parties without valid authorisation;
  • harass, threaten, stalk, abuse, or impersonate any person or entity;
  • submit spam, chain letters, junk messages, unauthorised advertising, or promotional material;
  • interfere with, disrupt, overburden, damage, or impair the Services;
  • use bots, scrapers, spiders, automation tools, or unauthorised monitoring tools in connection with the Services;
  • introduce malware, viruses, worms, trojans, or other harmful code;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services, servers, databases, or connected systems; or
  • use the Services in a way that Biokip reasonably considers abusive, harmful, fraudulent, or contrary to the spirit of the platform.

7. Content Created, Uploaded, or Produced Through the Services

7.1 Scope of Content

The Services allow users to create, upload, store, share, and otherwise make available artworks, images, drawings, screenshots, and other materials, including content created using in-app drawing, painting, editing, and publishing functions (“User Content”).

7.2 Ownership and Rights in User Content

All User Content that a user submits, uploads, publishes, or otherwise makes available through the Services is assigned to Biokip Labs Srl at the moment it is uploaded, submitted, or published through the Services, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

To the extent any such assignment is not legally effective, the user grants Biokip a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, publish, display, distribute, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, commercialise, and otherwise exploit that User Content for any purpose, including editorial, promotional, commercial, and archival purposes, without compensation or further notice.

For clarity, this Section applies to content that is submitted, uploaded, published, or otherwise made available through the Services. Biokip does not claim to identify the real-world identity of the person behind a Player ID, and rights in uploaded content are managed by reference to the Player ID and the content as received through the Services.

7.3 Attribution

Biokip may display a contributor’s Player ID alongside content published on the app or Website. Attribution by Player ID does not give the contributor any ownership or other intellectual property rights in the content.

7.4 Sharing by Users

Biokip may allow users to share certain content through sharing functions made available within the Services or through technical integrations with third-party platforms.

Any such permission is limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, and strictly for lawful, personal, and non-commercial use, unless Biokip gives prior written consent otherwise. Users must also comply with any applicable third-party platform rules when sharing content.

7.5 Abuse of Platform and Unauthorised Use

Any inappropriate, unlawful, abusive, or unauthorised use of the creation, upload, or sharing functions constitutes misuse of the Services.

Biokip reserves the right to take action reasonably necessary to respond to misuse of the Services or violations of these Terms, including removal of content, disabling of sharing functions, suspension or termination of Player ID-related access, technical restrictions on device or service access, reporting to competent authorities, and seeking injunctive relief, damages, or any other remedy available under applicable law.

7.6 User Warranties

By creating, uploading, or sharing content through the Services, you represent and warrant that:

  • your use of the Services and the content does not violate any law;
  • the content does not infringe any third-party rights;
  • the content does not contain unlawful or unauthorised personal data of third parties; and
  • you will use the Services only in accordance with these Terms.

7.7 Retention of Content

All content created within, uploaded to, or produced using the Services may be retained by Biokip as described in the Privacy Policy, including indefinite retention of uploaded images where stated there.

8. Enforcement, Suspension, and Termination

Without limiting any other remedy, Biokip may, where reasonably necessary to protect the Services, users, third parties, or legal compliance, and with or without notice where permitted by law:

  • remove, disable, or make unavailable any content;
  • suspend, restrict, modify, or terminate your access to the Services;
  • disable a Player ID or related functionality;
  • prevent access to the Services where Biokip believes a user creates risk, liability, abuse, or legal exposure; and
  • take technical or legal steps to enforce these Terms.

Biokip may also discontinue the Services, or any part of them, at any time. To the extent permitted by law, Biokip is not required to provide compensation for discontinued features, content access, virtual items, or account-related losses resulting from suspension, termination, or discontinuation.

9. Intellectual Property in the Services

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the VANDALEAK name, logo, software, app design, website design, features, systems, databases, audiovisual elements, graphics, editorial materials, and all content owned by Biokip, are owned by or licensed to Biokip.

Except for the limited licence expressly granted in these Terms, nothing in these Terms gives you any ownership or proprietary right in the Services.

10. Copyright and Complaints

Biokip respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same.

If you believe content available through the Services infringes your rights, you may contact Biokip at:

Biokip may request additional information reasonably necessary to assess a complaint and may remove, disable, or restrict access to disputed content while the matter is reviewed. Because the Services may operate through anonymous or pseudonymous Player IDs, Biokip may have limited ability to identify the user associated with particular content.

11. Virtual Items, Gems, Credits, XP, and Purchases

11.1 Virtual Economy

The Services may include virtual currencies, points, items, and progression systems, including:

  • Gems, which may be purchased with real money;
  • Credits, which may be purchased using Gems;
  • XP (Experience Points), which may be purchased using Gems or real money, and may also be earned through gameplay where applicable; and
  • Virtual Items, including spray cans and accessories, which may be acquired using Credits.

11.2 No Real-World Value

Gems, Credits, XP, and Virtual Items have no real-world monetary value. They are non-transferable, non-redeemable, non-refundable except where required by applicable law or the relevant app store policy, and cannot be exchanged for cash, goods, or services outside the Services.

11.3 App Store Processing

All purchases are processed exclusively by Google Play or the Apple App Store.

Biokip does not process payment cards directly and does not store or have access to your full payment card details.

Refunds, billing issues, and charge handling are subject to the terms, policies, and systems of the relevant app store. For refund or billing requests, you must contact the relevant app store directly.

11.4 Immediate Delivery and Withdrawal Rights

Where applicable law grants a withdrawal right for digital content, any consent to immediate performance and any acknowledgement of loss or limitation of withdrawal rights is obtained, where applicable, through the checkout flow operated by the relevant app store.

Biokip does not independently operate the payment checkout for in-app purchases. Nothing in these Terms excludes statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

11.5 Changes to Virtual Items

Biokip may manage, regulate, modify, rebalance, or remove Gems, Credits, XP, Virtual Items, prices, or related systems at any time, to the extent permitted by law.

12. Advertising

The Services may include optional rewarded advertising provided by Google AdMob.

Watching rewarded ads is optional and player-initiated. Rewarded ads and related rewards may not always be available. If a user chooses to watch an available rewarded ad, Biokip may grant in-app Credits or another in-app benefit as described in the app.

13. Third-Party Services

The Services may rely on third-party services, platforms, and infrastructure, including:

  • Google Play — app distribution and in-app purchase processing;
  • Apple App Store — app distribution and in-app purchase processing;
  • Firebase services — analytics, app functionality, crash reporting, database services, and storage of certain service interactions; and
  • Google AdMob — optional rewarded in-app advertising.

Your use of third-party services may also be subject to the terms and privacy policies of those third parties. Biokip is not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

14. Links to Other Websites

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services not owned or controlled by Biokip.

Biokip is not responsible for the content, terms, privacy practices, or conduct of third-party websites or services. You access them at your own risk.

15. Privacy

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information about how information is processed in connection with the Services. The Privacy Policy is available on the Website and through the relevant app store listing or other publication channels used for the Services.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that information may be processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BIOKIP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND FREEDOM FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES WARRANTIES OR RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BIOKIP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BIOKIP’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO BIOKIP, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) EUR 100. FOR CLARITY, IN-APP PURCHASES ARE GENERALLY PROCESSED BY THIRD-PARTY APP STORES RATHER THAN PAID DIRECTLY TO BIOKIP.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

18. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Italy, without regard to conflict of law principles.

If a dispute arises, you should first contact Biokip at hello@vandaleak.com so the parties can try to resolve it informally.

For users in the European Union, mandatory consumer protection laws of the country of residence remain applicable where they provide greater protection.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the courts of Milan, Italy, unless applicable mandatory law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

19. General Provisions

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and Biokip regarding the Services.
Severability. If any provision is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force to the maximum extent permitted by law.
No waiver. A failure by Biokip to enforce any provision does not waive that provision or any other right.
Assignment. Biokip may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms. You may not assign your rights or obligations without Biokip’s prior written consent.
Language. These Terms are drafted in English. In the event of a conflict between a translation and the English version, the English version prevails.
