Terms of use
The short, plain-language rules for using jpam.studio, our browser games and our apps.
Effective date: November 5, 20261. Who we are
jpam.studio is run by JPAM Studio (Paul Allan Manacap), based in the Philippines. By using the website, our games or our apps you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them. Questions: [email protected].
2. Our games and apps
Our browser games and web apps are free to use, with no account, ads or purchases. Our apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android are offered through the Apple App Store and Google Play; some are free and some include purchases, explained in section 3. Games and apps are provided “as is”. We work hard to keep them running well, but we cannot promise they will always be available, error-free or compatible with every device, and we may change or retire a game at any time. Saved progress is kept on your device unless a game’s privacy policy says otherwise; please keep your own backups of anything important.
3. Purchases in our apps
- What you can buy. Some apps give you a free period with everything open, then a single one-time purchase that unlocks the full app for good; Bill’s Sudoku and Kingside Chess Club work this way. Other apps offer optional one-time purchases, such as the Royale Pack in Break Royale, or are sold as paid apps. We do not sell subscriptions. When a free period ends you are not charged: the free parts stay free unless you choose to buy.
- Price and payment. The price is shown in the App Store or Google Play before you buy, in your local currency. Apple or Google takes and processes the payment, never JPAM Studio, and the store’s terms apply to the purchase.
- What a purchase gives you. A personal licence to use what the purchase unlocks in that app, on devices signed in to the same Apple Account or Google account. Use Restore purchase in the app to unlock it again on a new device. Apps from the App Store are also licensed under Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement, unless the app’s listing gives its own licence.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by the store: by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, and by Google through Google Play’s refund process. Your rights under consumer law where you live, including your rights if a purchase does not work as described, are not affected.
4. Online play, accounts, names and leaderboards
Some games let you play with other people, choose a player name or appear on a leaderboard. When you do:
- Choose a name that is not offensive, misleading or someone else’s. We may change or remove names and leaderboard entries that break this rule.
- Do not cheat, use bots or modified clients, flood our servers, or try to disrupt other players’ games.
- Be decent to the people you play with. Rooms are shared with anyone who has the room code; only share codes with people you want to play with.
- If you create an online profile or sign in, for example in Kingside Chess Club, Rydasta: Moto Racing or Break Royale, keep your sign-in details to yourself. To delete an online account, use the option in the game where there is one, or email [email protected].
We may block access to online features for anyone who breaks these rules.
In Kingside Chess Club and Break Royale you can report or block another player from inside the game. We review reports within 24 hours. You can also write to [email protected].
5. Our content
The games, apps, artwork, music, text and code on jpam.studio belong to JPAM Studio or are used under licence. You may play and enjoy them, link to them and share screenshots and videos of your play, including on monetised channels. You may not copy, sell, rebrand or redistribute the games or their assets without our written permission.
6. The News page
Our News page shows headlines from news organisations’ public feeds, with the source named and a link to the original article. We show headlines only, never the article text or pictures, and we list only publishers whose published terms allow this or who have given permission. The headlines and articles belong to their publishers, and each publisher’s own terms apply once you follow a link. We do not endorse or verify third-party news.
Publishers and corrections. If you publish one of the sources shown and would prefer not to be listed, or if a headline is wrong or out of date, email [email protected] and we will remove or correct it, normally within one business day.
Radio. The Radio section on the Music page lists internet radio stations from the Radio Browser community directory and plays each station’s own public stream directly from the broadcaster. We do not record, store or relay any broadcast; programmes belong to their stations, and listings can be removed on request.
Books. The Books page lists books and magazines that are in the public domain in the United States or published under open licences, and links to each on its publisher’s own website. We host none of these works. Public-domain status can differ in other countries; if you copy or share a work, check the rules where you live. Titles can be removed on request.
7. Apps that help with your work
Simoy Marine, DraftPro and JPAM Reviewer are aids, not a substitute for official forecasts, surveys, examination materials or professional judgment. Always check important figures against your primary sources and follow your company’s procedures. JPAM Reviewer is an independent study aid and is not affiliated with MARINA; always check the latest MARINA circulars for official exam coverage and passing marks.
8. Links to other sites
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
9. Liability
To the extent the law allows, JPAM Studio is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the website, games or apps. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.
10. Changes and governing law
We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date above will change when we do. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
