User Agreement
This User Agreement governs your download, installation, and use of the Iris mobile application (also presented as “One Strike Realm” / “一击剑域”). Please read it carefully before you play.
- Iris is a single-player, offline dueling game. No account, login, or internet connection is required to play.
- You receive a limited, personal, non-commercial license to use the App on your own devices.
- Your gameplay data is stored on your device. We collect essentially no personal information — see our Privacy Policy.
- Please review the Health & Safety Notice below before playing.
01Acceptance of This Agreement
This User Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal contract between you and the developer and operator of Iris (“Iris”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, installing, launching, or otherwise using the Iris application (the “App”), you confirm that you have read and understood this Agreement and agree to be bound by it.
If you do not agree to any part of this Agreement, you must not install or use the App, and you should uninstall it from your device. Your continued use of the App after any change to this Agreement (as described in Section 17) constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
02The Iris Application
Iris is a portrait, single-player sword-dueling game built around a single rule: both you and your opponent can afford only one mistake. You observe your opponent's stance and strike, respond with a dodge, block, or pierce at the correct moment, and finish each duel with one clean counter-strike.
The App is designed to be played offline and locally. It does not require an account, does not host multiplayer matches, and — in its current release — does not display third-party advertising or process in-app payments. Certain features described in the App or on its store page may be introduced or modified over time.
03License Grant & Restrictions
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on a personal device that you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment.
You may not, and may not permit any third party to:
- copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the App or any part of it;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit the App;
- remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices or labels;
- use the App to develop a competing product, or automate or script gameplay in a way that interferes with the intended experience; or
- use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
All rights not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved by us and our licensors.
04Eligibility
The App is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age, or the higher minimum age required by the law of the jurisdiction in which you reside. If you are between 13 (or the applicable minimum) and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by this Agreement.
If you are a parent or guardian and you allow a minor to use the App, you accept full responsibility for that minor's use, including compliance with this Agreement and any applicable laws.
05User Conduct
You agree not to use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the App, our systems, or the experience of other users. Without limitation, you agree not to:
- attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with any technical measures, security features, or access controls;
- use cheats, exploits, automation, or unauthorized tools to manipulate gameplay or progression;
- intercept, modify, or fabricate data transmitted to or stored by the App; or
- misuse any reporting or support channel we provide.
Because Iris is primarily a single-player experience, conduct rules are focused on protecting the integrity of the App and its intended “one strike, one chance” design.
06Intellectual Property
The App — including its software, source and object code, artwork, audio, music, animations, character and scene designs, the “Iris” and “One Strike Realm” names and logos, and all related content — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
This Agreement grants you only a limited license to use the App as described above. It does not transfer any ownership rights, and nothing in this Agreement grants you any right to use our name, logos, or trademarks except as part of ordinary, permitted use of the App.
07Privacy
Your use of the App is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle information in connection with the App. By using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.
In short, Iris is designed to minimize data collection: gameplay and settings are stored locally on your device, we do not require an account, and we do not currently use advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking. Details, including your rights under California, Canadian, Singaporean, and Australian privacy law, are set out in the Privacy Policy.
08Health & Safety Notice
Please observe the following precautions when playing Iris:
- Photosensitive epilepsy. A small percentage of people may experience seizures or blackouts triggered by certain visual patterns, flashing lights, or rapidly changing imagery. If you or a family member has a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. Stop playing immediately and seek medical advice if you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions.
- Physical discomfort. Take regular breaks, and stop playing if you experience eyestrain, headache, or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms.
- Haptics and motion. The App may produce haptic (vibration) feedback. You can adjust or disable haptics in the App's settings if you find them uncomfortable.
- Reduced-motion and accessibility. The App includes settings for high-contrast cues, reduced motion, and other accessibility options. Please use these if needed.
09In-App Purchases & Virtual Items
The current release of Iris does not offer in-app purchases, virtual currency, or premium items, and gameplay progress does not depend on any payment. If, in a future update, we introduce purchasable content or virtual items, additional terms specific to those features will apply, and all purchases will be governed by the rules and refund policies of the applicable app store or platform from which you download the App.
Any cosmetic items (blades, outfits, stances, scenes, titles) earned or unlocked in the game have no real-world monetary value and are provided for your personal entertainment only.
10Updates, Changes & Availability
We may, at any time and without notice, update, modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature, including to fix bugs, improve performance, or comply with legal or platform requirements. We do not guarantee that the App will always be available, error-free, or compatible with every device or operating-system version.
You may need to install updates to continue using the App. We are not obliged to provide maintenance, support, or updates for any particular period.
11Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. We disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
We do not warrant that the App will meet your expectations, that your use will be uninterrupted or secure, or that any defects will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.
12Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we or our officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or device functionality — arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement or the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us for the App (which is currently zero, as the App is free) or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100).
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or liability under applicable consumer-protection laws in California, Canada, Singapore, Australia, or elsewhere.
13Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the App, (b) your violation of this Agreement, or (c) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.
14Termination
This Agreement remains in effect until terminated by you or us. You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling the App and ceasing all use of it.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time if you breach this Agreement or if we reasonably believe that continued provision of the App is required or advisable for legal, security, or operational reasons. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends immediately, and you must delete all copies of the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 — will survive.
15Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which we are established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country or state of residence (including, without limitation, California, Canada, Singapore, and Australia) apply and cannot be waived or excluded.
We encourage you to contact us first at the email address in Section 18 so that we may attempt to resolve any concern informally and in good faith. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be resolved in accordance with the applicable laws and courts of the relevant jurisdiction, subject to any rights you have under mandatory local law.
16Regional Consumer Rights
🇺🇸United States — California
If you reside in California, nothing in this Agreement waives or limits any rights you may have under California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) with respect to personal information (see our Privacy Policy). If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable under California law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in full force.
🇨🇦Canada
If you reside in Canada, this Agreement is subject to applicable federal and provincial consumer-protection legislation, including the provisions of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as it relates to personal information. Any term that conflicts with a non-waivable statutory protection in your province of residence shall not apply to you to the extent of that conflict. A French-language version of key terms may be provided on request.
🇸🇬Singapore
If you reside in Singapore, nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts any right or remedy you may have under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act or other applicable Singapore legislation.

🇦🇺Australia
If you reside in Australia, your use of the App is subject to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), including the Australian Consumer Law, which may provide you with guarantees that cannot be excluded by this Agreement. To the extent our goods or services fail to meet those guarantees, you may have rights to remedies under Australian law. Our handling of personal information complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
🌏Other Jurisdictions
Where you are located in a jurisdiction not listed above, you retain all non-waivable rights granted by your local consumer-protection and privacy laws. This Agreement is intended to operate consistently with such laws.
17Changes to This Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time to reflect changes to the App, our practices, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective” date above and, where reasonably practicable, notify you through the App or its store listing. Your continued use of the App after the updated Effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.
If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide advance notice where required by law. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using the App and uninstall it.
