Terms of use for “Groom Me”

Last updated: October 18, 2026

1. Provider and scope

The provider of the game “Groom Me” is Patrick Gruben, Rolandstraße 14, 40476 Düsseldorf, Germany (legal notice). These terms apply to “Groom Me”. The terms of the respective store also apply to downloads and purchases; for games from the Apple App Store, Apple's Standard License Agreement (EULA) applies as well.

2. The games

You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the game for private purposes. The game is free to play; some content can be obtained with real money (in-app purchases). I keep developing the game; content, prices and features may change. Content you have already bought remains yours.

3. Virtual currencies and items

In-game currencies, unlocked dogs, cards, stickers and other game content are virtual. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for money, transferred or sold outside the game. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use them in the game.

• Groom Me: coins and yarn – both are earned in the game only and cannot be bought

4. Purchases, withdrawal and refunds

Purchases are concluded and billed through the App Store. For digital content delivered immediately, the statutory right of withdrawal expires if you expressly agreed to this before the purchase. Refunds follow Apple's rules (Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com). If a purchase does not arrive, restarting the game or “Restore purchases” usually helps; otherwise write to me or ask the store for a refund. If you delete the app, your purchase “The whole salon” stays with Apple; “Restore purchases” brings it back.

5. Minors

Minors need parental consent for purchases. I recommend protecting purchases in the device settings (Screen Time).

6. Fair play

Please do not use manipulation or cheats.

7. Liability

I am fully liable for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the Product Liability Act. For slight negligence I am only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations, limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Statutory warranty rights remain unaffected.

8. Termination

You can stop playing at any time, delete your data (Delete data) and uninstall the app. If I discontinue a game, I will announce it with reasonable notice on the game's page.

9. Final provisions

German law applies. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of that country. I am neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. If a provision is invalid, the rest remains valid. If this English version differs from the German one, the German version prevails.
