Terms of Use

Version 1.4 · Effective 30 October 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the developer of Funny Ludo ("we", "us"). They govern your use of the Funny Ludo game ("the App"). Please read them carefully. By tapping I Agree, or by using the App, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Who may use the App

The App is suitable for all ages. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must read these Terms, agree to them on your behalf, and supervise your use, especially of the photo feature, online play, accounts, chat and voice chat. The parent or guardian is responsible for that use.

2. What the App is

Funny Ludo is a free board game for entertainment only. You can play on one device without the internet, or online with friends and other players (see section 6). Dice rolls are completely random: every number from 1 to 6 has the same chance on every roll.

The App uses virtual gold (see section 7). Gold is always free. It cannot be bought with money, and it cannot be sold, transferred, cashed out or exchanged for money, goods or anything of value. No real money is ever involved. You must not use the App, its gold or its results for gambling, betting or any game played for money or money's worth, including outside the App.

3. Licence to use

We grant you a personal, non-commercial, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the App on devices that you own or control, in line with these Terms and the Google Play terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Things you must not do

• Copy, modify, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, or create derivative works from it, except where the law expressly allows this.
• Sell, rent, lend, sublicense, distribute or publish the App or any part of it, including its characters, artwork, sounds or code.
• Remove or change any copyright, trademark or licence notice.
• Cheat, hack, automate or tamper with the App or its online service, use more than one account to gain gold, or use the App in any unlawful, harmful or fraudulent way.
• Buy, sell or trade gold, items or accounts, or use them for gambling or for anything of money's worth.
• Harass, threaten or abuse other players, or send or say anything offensive, sexual or hateful to them.
• Record other players' voices without their permission.

5. Your names and photos

You may enter player names and choose a profile picture, including a photo from your device ("Your Content"). You are fully responsible for Your Content. You confirm that:

• you own each photo you use, or have permission from the person shown in it and from its owner;
• for a photo of a child, you are that child's parent or guardian, or have their consent;
• Your Content, including your player name and chat messages, is not offensive, obscene, hateful, violent, defamatory or unlawful, and does not impersonate anyone.

Photos always stay on your device, including during online games. We do not receive, view or store them (see the Privacy Policy).

6. Online play, accounts and chat

Online play is optional. Before you use it for the first time, the App asks for your separate consent. When you play online:

• you can play as a guest with a random ID made for your device, or sign in with an email address and password or with Facebook;
• you can create a room and share its room code, or join a friend's room with their code. Anyone who has the code can join while the room is waiting to start, so share it only with people you know;
• with Find opponent, you are matched with other Funny Ludo players you may not know. They see the name you use, your character and your moves;
• use a player name that is not offensive and does not reveal private details, such as your full name, address or school;
• if you do not play your turn in time, or you leave or lose your connection, the App or the computer may play for you so the game can continue;
• the online service needs an internet connection and may sometimes be slow or unavailable. We may close rooms, change the service or stop it at any time.

Accounts. An account keeps your gold, Market items and friends safe. Keep your password secret; you are responsible for activity on your account. One account per person.

Friends and chat. Signed-in players can add friends with a friend code and chat with their friends. You can only chat with people you have accepted as friends; there is no chat with strangers. You must not send messages that are abusive, threatening, sexual or hateful, that share anyone's personal details, phone number or address, or that advertise or ask for money. You can report a message, remove a friend or block a player from the chat screen. We may review reported messages, and we may suspend or delete accounts that break these Terms.

Voice chat. In online games you can talk to the other players. Your microphone is always off until you tap the microphone button, and you can mute any player or the speaker at any time. In Find opponent games, other players start muted. Speak to others as you would want them to speak to you. If someone is abusive, mute them, leave the game and, if they are your friend, block them.

7. Gold and the Market

• Signed-in players get 1,000 welcome gold once, can collect a free daily bonus, and can choose to watch short videos for extra gold (up to 5 a day). Gold is kept on our server and linked to your account.
• In online games you may choose to bet gold. Each player stakes the same amount. The winner receives double their stake, and the other players lose theirs. If you leave a game that has started, you lose your stake. If a game never starts or is abandoned, stakes are returned.
• You can spend gold in the Market on items such as dice styles. Items have no value outside the App.
• Gold and items are a limited licence to use features of the App. They are not your property and have no monetary value. We may change amounts, prices and features, correct mistakes, and remove gold or items obtained through bugs, cheating or misuse. Gold and items end when your account is deleted or the App is discontinued.

8. Ownership

The App, including the name "Funny Ludo", the characters, artwork, animations, sounds, music and software, is owned by us or our licensors. It is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. Ludo is a traditional game, and we claim no rights in its general rules. The App includes open-source components under their own licences: three.js (MIT License), and the Baloo 2, Hind and Shojumaru fonts (SIL Open Font License). Their licence texts are included in the App. It also uses the Facebook SDK for Android for Facebook sign-in.

9. Game content

The App contains mild cartoon slapstick, such as warriors' finishing moves and pieces being "bonked" home, with no blood or gore. Please take regular breaks, and play responsibly.

10. Changes to the App

We may update, change, suspend or stop the App or any feature, including online play, accounts, gold and chat, at any time, without notice or liability.

11. No warranty

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App and its online service are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. This includes any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. You use the App at your own risk and are responsible for your device and its data.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Nor will we be liable for any loss of data (including saved games, online games, gold, items, friends, messages, names or photos), loss of profits, or damage to your device arising from or related to the App, even if we were advised of the possibility. Our total liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or INR 500. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including your rights as a consumer.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, from Your Content, or from your misuse of the App.

14. Ending these Terms

Your licence ends automatically if you breach these Terms. You may stop at any time by uninstalling the App and deleting your data (see the Privacy Policy). Sections 4, 5, 7, 8 and 11–16 survive termination.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country, the courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu, have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.

16. Other terms

These Terms are between you and us, not Google or Meta. Google's Play Store terms also apply to your download, and Facebook's terms apply if you sign in with Facebook. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. We may update these Terms. When we do, the App will show the new version and ask you to accept it before you continue playing.

Privacy Policy

Version 1.4 · Effective 30 October 2026

In short: when you play on one device, everything stays on your device. If you choose online play, sign in, or use friends and chat, the App sends the details listed below to our game server, and only to run those features. We never sell your data or share it for advertising.

What is stored on your device

• Player names, the chosen warriors and characters, and your profile pictures, including any photo you choose.
• Your saved game, your settings (sound, camera view, arena, dice style), and the fact that you accepted these Terms.
• If you play online or sign in: your sign-in key, your online name, a copy of your gold balance, and the code of a game you can rejoin.

This information is kept in the App's private storage on your device. It is used only to run the game for you.

Online play

Online play is optional and starts only after you agree to it in the App. When you use it, the App sends these details to our game server:

• a random guest ID created for your device, or your account ID if you signed in;
• the player name you use and the character you pick;
• the rooms you create or join (including games found with Find opponent), any gold you bet, and your dice rolls and moves in each game;
• a regular "still connected" signal with the time, so the game knows if you dropped out.

We use these details only to run online games: to place you in a room, show your name and character to the other players in that room, keep everyone's board the same, work out the winner and pay out bets, and let the computer take over if you leave. Other players in your game can see your name, character and moves.

Accounts, gold, friends and chat

If you sign in, we also keep:

• Account: your email address (for email sign-in), or your Facebook user ID, name and email address if you allow it (for Facebook sign-in). Passwords are handled by Google Firebase Authentication; we never see them. We do not post anything to Facebook and do not read your Facebook friends.
• Game account: your player name, friend code, gold balance, daily-bonus date and the Market items you own.
• Friends: your friends list, friend requests and players you have blocked, and the time you were last online, which your friends can see.
• Chat: the messages you send to friends and the time they were sent. Chats are deleted when either of you removes or blocks the other, or deletes their account.
• Reports: if you report a message, we keep your report and the player it is about, to review it.

Voice chat and your microphone

The App uses your microphone only for voice chat in online games, and only after you tap the microphone button. Android asks your permission the first time. Your voice goes directly from your phone to the other players' phones in the same game (using WebRTC, encrypted end to end between devices). When a direct connection is not possible, it may pass through a relay server that cannot listen to it. We do not record, store or listen to voice chat. Your microphone turns off when you tap the button again, when you leave the game, or when the App goes into the background.

Ads

The App shows ads from Google AdMob: one banner on the main menu, a full-screen ad between some games, and optional videos you can choose to watch for gold. We ask Google for ads that are suitable for children, non-personalised and rated G, and we do not let the App read your phone's advertising ID. To show ads and count them, Google may process information such as your IP address and basic device and app details. See Google's policy at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Our service provider

The game server is Google Firebase (Authentication, Realtime Database and Cloud Functions), run by Google as our service provider. Online data is stored on its servers in Singapore and sent over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. Google may also process technical data, such as your IP address, to provide the service. See firebase.google.com/support/privacy. Facebook sign-in uses the Facebook SDK for Android, run by Meta; see facebook.com/privacy/policy.

How long we keep it

A room is deleted shortly after its game ends; rooms that never finish are removed after a few hours. Your account, gold, friends and chats stay until you delete them or delete your account. Guest IDs stay until you delete your data.

What we do not do

The App has no analytics and no tracking for advertising, and we do not sell your data or share it for advertising. It does not access your location, contacts or camera, and uses the microphone only for voice chat as described above. Apart from ads, it uses the internet only for online play, sign-in, gold, friends, chat and voice chat; the games themselves work offline.

Photos

The App reads a photo only when you tap Choose photo and pick an image with your phone's own picker. The App receives only the image you pick. It shrinks the image to a small round picture and stores it on your device. It is never uploaded or shared, including during online games.

Children

A parent or guardian must agree before a child under 18 uses online play, accounts, chat or voice chat, and should supervise it. Children should use a nickname rather than their real name. Chat is only possible between players who have accepted each other as friends. A parent can delete a child's data at any time with Delete my data.

Deleting your data

Tap Delete my data in Terms & Privacy on the main menu. This permanently removes names, photos, saved games and settings from your device. If you played online or signed in, it also deletes your account, gold, items, friends list, friend requests and chats from our server, and removes you from waiting rooms. Uninstalling the App or clearing its storage in Android Settings removes the data on your device, but not the data on our server, so use Delete my data first. You can also ask us to delete your data by contacting us (see below), or follow the steps at funniludo.web.app/delete.html.

Security

Your data on your device is protected by Android's app sandbox. Anyone who can use your unlocked device may be able to see your names and pictures in the game. Online data is protected by encryption in transit and by security rules: only the server can change gold, only you can read your account and friends list, and only you and your friend can read your chat.

Changes

If we change what data the App sends or how we use it, we will update this policy and ask you to accept it again.

Contact

For questions about these Terms or this policy, or to ask us to delete your data, contact the developer at the email address shown on the Funny Ludo page in the Google Play Store.
