Shared village records (structures, fundraising progress, unlocked plots, and so on) remain even when a resident leaves the village or deletes their account.

You grant the Operator a free, non-exclusive license to store, reproduce, transmit, resize, and display your content to residents of the same village, and to export it through sharing features you choose (such as drawing share cards), to the extent needed to provide, operate, and improve the Service. This license ends when the content is deleted or you delete your account. This does not extend to copies already saved or shared by other users or copies that must be retained by law.
  3. The Operator does not use your content for advertising or promotion. Separate consent will be obtained before doing so.
  4. You must hold the necessary rights to content you upload. You are responsible for issues arising from uploading others' works, photographs, or likenesses without permission.

  5. The Operator may reclaim currency or items obtained through errors or improper methods and may deduct the equivalent amount if they have already been used.
  6. The Operator may adjust how currency is earned, its amounts, prices, or uses with advance notice. The quantity of currency already held will not be changed to users' disadvantage.

  1. Diamond purchases are made through Store in-app purchases. Payment methods, receipts, and billing follow the Store's terms and procedures. The Operator does not receive payment method details.
  2. Prices are displayed inclusive of VAT on the app's purchase screen. The displayed currency and amount may differ by Store and country.
  3. Diamonds are credited after the Store confirms payment and the server completes verification. If delivery is delayed by network conditions, the app displays “Arriving soon.” If Diamonds have not arrived within 24 hours of payment, please contact us with your Store receipt.
  4. Withdrawal from a purchase: Purchased Diamonds are digital content credited to your account and available for use immediately upon payment. Under Article 17(2) of the Act on the Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, your right to withdraw is restricted if any of the credited Diamonds have been used. You may request withdrawal within 7 days of payment if none have been used.
  5. Refunds follow the process of the Store where payment was made. On iOS, use Apple's “Report a Problem” (reportaproblem.apple.com); on Android, use Google Play's refund request process. When the Store issues a refund, the corresponding Diamonds are deducted from your account. If your balance is insufficient, use of the Service may be restricted.
  6. Diamonds and Acorns earned for free, event bonuses, and items already purchased with Diamonds are not refundable.
  7. If a minor makes a payment without their legal representative's consent, the legal representative may cancel it under applicable law. Cancellation may be restricted if the minor pretended to be an adult or led others to believe that the legal representative had consented.
  8. Please send payment inquiries to drawtown.team@gmail.com. We will respond within 3 business days of receipt.

Article 12 (Advertising)

  1. The Service includes rewarded ads that users choose to watch. Completing an ad earns the reward displayed on screen, such as Acorns or pen colors. Closing an ad early does not earn a reward.

  4. During a suspension, currency, including purchased Diamonds, is retained but cannot be used. With permanent suspension, currency expires, and no refund is given if the violation is the user's responsibility.
