Pathwink Terms of Use

About these terms

These terms cover Pathwink and its related purchase and support services. Please read them before using the game or making a purchase. “We”, “us” and “our” mean the operator below.

These terms describe the current iOS version, including TestFlight testing and its App Store release, where available. Test availability is not a promise of public release. Features and purchase availability may differ on other platforms or older versions; this website does not process purchases.

Your use of Pathwink

You may install and play Pathwink for personal, non-commercial use on compatible devices you own or control, subject to these terms and the store’s licence. For an Apple App Store version, Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement applies unless a custom licence is supplied with that version. These terms apply alongside that licence and do not override rights provided by law. Google Play distribution is also subject to the applicable Google Play terms.

Do not disrupt the game, bypass purchase checks, distribute harmful software or misuse someone else’s rights. You must not copy, modify or redistribute the game except where the law or an applicable software licence permits it. Parents and guardians should supervise use and authorise purchases where required.

Gameplay and saved progress

Pathwink is a path-drawing puzzle game. Follow the displayed sequence, visit every cell once and respect the board’s walls and finish point. Mode-specific instructions in the game explain variations.

Progress, records, preferences and unfinished attempts are stored on the device. You do not need an account. Wattle Wink does not provide cloud saves or sync progress between devices. Clearing storage, uninstalling or resetting a device may lose that information; any operating-system backup is separate. Restoring a purchase brings back its benefits, not your puzzle progress.

The one-time upgrade

Remove Ads is an optional one-time purchase, not a subscription. In the current iOS version, once the game confirms and saves the purchase, it provides:

• Removal of all game advertisements, including banners, between-puzzle ads and rewarded ads.
• Five starting hints per new Campaign or Daily attempt, where hints are available.
• Six starting lives per new Campaign or Daily attempt, where lives apply.

These are per-attempt resources, not a daily allowance or an unlimited balance. Restarting begins a fresh attempt with its starting allowance. Flow Rush does not receive this allowance, and boards with unlimited attempts retain their own rules. When a purchase is applied to an eligible attempt already in progress, resources already spent remain spent.

The current six-life allowance does not include an extra continuation after lives run out. An unfinished attempt saved by an older version may keep its previous allowance until you start a fresh attempt. The store displays the price and currency before payment. Purchasing Remove Ads does not delete information already processed by advertising services.

Payments and restoration

When available, payment is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play under that store’s payment terms. Benefits are added after the game confirms and saves the purchase. A payment that is still pending or cannot be confirmed may not unlock them.

Use Settings → Restore purchases while connected to the same store account used for the original purchase. The purchase panel also includes Restore purchase. Store access and an internet connection may be needed. An Apple purchase does not automatically transfer to Google Play, or vice versa. If the store refunds or cancels the purchase, its benefits may be removed. Your consumer rights still apply.

If the game shows Check purchase or Finish setup, follow that action before trying to buy again. Contact support@wattlewink.com.au if access is still missing. We may ask for a transaction reference or redacted receipt; never send passwords or payment-card details.

Advertising and optional rewards

Free play can include Google AdMob banners on puzzle-playing screens and advertisements between puzzles. Ad formats may differ by platform and version.

Where a rewarded ad is offered, choosing to watch it is optional. A confirmed earned reward adds one hint when hints run out, or one life to continue an eligible game-over attempt. Starting or closing an ad alone does not guarantee a reward. Availability depends on the advertising service, device, connection and privacy choices. You can instead restart or return to the game’s menus.

Advertisements may open third-party websites or services. Their appearance does not mean Wattle Wink endorses them. Our Privacy Policy explains advertising-related information handling. Accepting these terms is not consent to tracking.

Refunds and consumer rights

You keep all rights that the law gives you, including applicable guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. These terms do not take those rights away.

If the game or a purchase does not meet an applicable consumer guarantee, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement, refund or other remedy, depending on the problem. Store procedures do not remove those rights. You may use the purchasing store’s refund process or contact support@wattlewink.com.au for help with a purchase problem. See the ACCC’s guidance on remedies.

Intellectual property

The game, its name, artwork and other materials belong to Wattle Wink or their respective owners. Playing the game does not give you ownership of those materials. Third-party software and assets remain subject to their own licences; nothing here restricts rights granted by an applicable open-source licence.

Updates, availability and responsibility

Updates may correct defects, improve compatibility or security, or change features. Some functions depend on supported devices, internet access and third-party services. We do not promise uninterrupted availability of app stores or advertising services.

We remain responsible for our legal obligations. Changes to the game do not remove your consumer rights, including any required notice or remedy if purchased benefits are affected.

Changes, governing law and contact

We will show an updated date when these terms change. Changes will not take away rights you already have from an earlier purchase. We will provide notice or obtain agreement where required by law.

These terms are governed by New South Wales law. You still have any mandatory protections and rights to bring a claim that apply where you live.
