Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Hover Digital Inc., a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada ("itwo," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of our SMS-based interactive story experiences, our website, and related services (the "Service"). Please read them carefully. By texting our published number or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher) and legally able to enter into a contract to use the Service. The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial entertainment.

2. The Service

itwo offers fictional interactive mystery stories delivered by SMS/MMS. The stories, characters, and any phone numbers depicted within the fiction are imaginary. The Service is provided for entertainment only and is not a substitute for professional, legal, medical, or emergency advice. Do not contact emergency services through the Service.

3. SMS Messaging Terms

Program name: The Cat's Meow, by itwo (Hover Digital Inc.). By texting our published number (for example, texting START to opt in), you expressly consent to receive automated and non-automated SMS/MMS messages from itwo at the mobile number you used, including messages sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or pre-recorded content where applicable. Your consent is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

• What you'll receive: Interactive fiction story messages from characters in the case, in reply to your texts.
• Message frequency varies based on the choices you make in the story — approximately 100+ messages per case, typically over one sitting.
• Message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier. The game itself is free.
• Reply HELP for help, or email hello@hovergrp.com.
• Reply STOP (or END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT) at any time to opt out. You will receive one confirmation message, after which we will not send further messages unless you opt back in.
• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• Supported carriers include major US and Canadian carriers; availability in other countries may be limited.
• We do not sell or share your mobile number, SMS opt-in data, or consent records with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law (including telecommunications, consumer protection, or export control laws).
• Send unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, infringing, obscene, or sexually explicit content involving minors.
• Use the Service to harass other users, our staff, or third parties.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, overload, disrupt, or circumvent rate limits or security controls of the Service.
• Use the Service for any commercial resale, automated bulk messaging, or to develop a competing product.
• Submit content you do not have the right to submit, including personal data of third parties.

We may suspend or terminate access without notice for suspected violations or to protect the Service.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all text, characters, story content, plot, software, design, logos, and the "itwo" name, is owned by Hover Digital Inc. or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Service for personal entertainment in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

By sending content to the Service, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, transmit, and use that content as necessary to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

6. Fees

The Service is currently free to play. We may introduce paid features in the future; if we do, the applicable pricing and terms will be presented before you are charged. Your mobile carrier may charge you for SMS/MMS messages independent of any fees we charge.

7. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

8. Disclaimers

Except where prohibited by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty regarding accuracy, reliability, uptime, or message delivery. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Hover Digital Inc., its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service. Our aggregate liability for any direct damages arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US $100).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or for consumers' statutory rights — including non-excludable rights under EU/UK consumer law and under Canadian consumer protection legislation such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hover Digital Inc. and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. This indemnity does not apply to consumers to the extent restricted by mandatory law.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may opt out of SMS by replying STOP. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, including suspected violations of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution) will survive.

12. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes to these Terms we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you by SMS, email, or website notice before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The courts located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada will have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

Consumers in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions: Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory laws of the country in which you have your habitual residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country. EU consumers may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Consumers in the United States: You and itwo agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting hello@hovergrp.com. If a dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days, either party may pursue the matter in a court of competent jurisdiction or, where both parties agree in writing, in binding individual arbitration. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted to the extent allowed by applicable law.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
