Terms & Conditions

Last updated 7 November 2026

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Dipti Jain (trading as “Gifted”) ("we", "us" or "our"). They apply to the Gifted app for Android phones and tablets, available on Google Play (the "app"), our website at giftedapp.in, and every purchase made in the app (together, the "Service"). Downloading the app and paying through Google Play are also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service.

By setting up or using the Service, or by buying anything in it, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Refund & Cancellation Policy and our Shipping & Delivery Policy, which form part of these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

• "Grown-up" means a parent or legal guardian aged 18 or over who sets up and manages the Service for a child.
• "Child" or "player" means a child for whom a Grown-up has added a player in the app.
• "Grown-up password" means the password a Grown-up creates in the app to protect settings, reports and purchases.
• "Digital Items" means anything sold in the Service, including the Toastie's Treasure Pack, Treasure Buddies, celebration screens, packs and Crumb packs.
• "Crumbs" means the virtual Crumbs in a player's Crumb Jar, whether earned by playing ("Earned Crumbs") or added with a Crumb pack ("Purchased Crumbs").

2. Who may use Gifted

1. Gifted is made for children aged 1 to 8, but it must be set up, managed and paid for by a Grown-up. Children may use the Service only with a Grown-up's permission and supervision.
2. When you add the first player, you confirm that you are 18 or over, that you are that child's parent or legal guardian (or have their permission), and that you agree to these Terms on your own behalf and on behalf of the child.
3. You are responsible for how the Service is used on your devices, and for keeping the Grown-up password secret. Anything done with the Grown-up password, including a purchase, is treated as done or approved by you.
4. You must be legally able to enter into a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872 to make a purchase.

3. Your licence to use Gifted

We give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the Service, and any Digital Items you buy, for your family's personal, non-commercial use, in line with these Terms. Digital Items are licensed to you, not sold, and you do not own them. Using Gifted in a classroom with Class mode is allowed; any other commercial use needs our written permission.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to let anyone else:

• copy, sell, rent, re-publish, translate, modify or make works based on the Service, its games, stories, characters (including Toastie), voices, music or pictures;
• reverse engineer, decompile or take apart the Service, except where the law allows it;
• get around, disable or interfere with the Service's limits, payments, security or the Grown-up password;
• change Crumb balances, purchase records or app data by any means other than normal use of the app;
• use bots, scripts or other automated means to use the Service or to earn Crumbs;
• make a purchase with a payment method you are not authorised to use, or make a false refund or chargeback claim; or
• use the Service in any unlawful way, or in a way that could harm a child, us or anyone else.

5. Crumbs

1. Children earn Crumbs for right answers in the daily games and the Premium games. Story Time and the Explore topics do not give Crumbs. A Grown-up can also add Purchased Crumbs with a Crumb pack (20 Crumbs for ₹50, 50 Crumbs for ₹80, 100 Crumbs for ₹110 and 500 Crumbs for ₹140).
2. Crumbs can only be spent in the Gifted Shop, on items such as buddies, outfits and celebration screens. They cannot be used anywhere else.
3. Crumbs are a limited licence to use a feature of the app. They are not money, a deposit, a stored-value instrument or property. They have no cash or monetary value and cannot be exchanged, refunded, redeemed or cashed out for money, goods or services outside the Shop, except where our Refund & Cancellation Policy says so or the law requires it.
4. Crumbs belong to the player they were earned or bought for. They cannot be moved, given or sold to another player, family, device or person.
5. A Crumb Jar holds up to 2,500 Crumbs. A Crumb pack can only be bought if all of its Crumbs fit in the child's Crumb Jar.
6. Crumbs do not expire. They are kept in the app's data on your device. If that data is erased, for example by uninstalling the app, clearing the browser's data or choosing "Erase all data", the Crumbs are lost and cannot be restored, except as described in section 9.
7. We may correct a Crumb balance that is wrong because of a technical error, misuse, fraud or a refund or chargeback, and we may change the Crumb prices of items in the Shop.

6. Purchases, prices and payment

1. All Digital Items are one-time purchases. There are no subscriptions, auto-renewals or recurring charges.
2. Prices are shown in Indian Rupees (INR) in the app, on Google Play's checkout and on our pricing section before you pay. The price shown by Google Play at checkout is the full price and includes any applicable taxes; we add no extra charges. Your bank or payment provider may charge its own fees.
3. Only a Grown-up can buy, behind the Grown-up password. Children can only ask a Grown-up, at most 3 times a day. A Grown-up can set a monthly spending limit for each child.
4. Digital Items can only be bought inside the app. Payments are processed by Google Play's billing system, using the payment methods Google Play offers (such as UPI, cards, net banking and Google Play balance). You pay Google, under the Google Play Terms of Service. We never see or store your card number, UPI PIN, CVV or bank login.
5. A purchase is confirmed only when Google Play confirms the payment. Purchases are linked to the Google account used on Google Play, so they can be restored on another device signed in to the same account.
6. The Toastie's Treasure Pack, Treasure Buddies, celebration screens and packs are for every child on the device where they were bought, including children added later. Crumb packs are for one child (the player chosen at checkout).
7. Our website is for information only. It does not sell anything, and the app cannot be used from it.
8. We may refuse or cancel an order if the price or description shown was wrong because of an obvious error, if we suspect fraud or unauthorised use, or if the Digital Item cannot be delivered. If we cancel an order after you have paid, we refund the full amount to your original payment method.
9. If money is debited but the order is not confirmed, the amount is normally reversed automatically by Google Play or your bank. If it is not, please contact us.

7. Delivery

Digital Items are delivered electronically inside the app, usually within seconds of a confirmed payment. Nothing is shipped. Our Shipping & Delivery Policy explains this in full.

8. Cancellations and refunds

Our Refund & Cancellation Policy explains when an order can be cancelled, which purchases can be refunded, and how long refunds take.

9. Restoring and data on your device

1. Progress, Crumbs and settings are saved on the device your child plays on. If a Grown-up turns on Family backup, a locked copy is also kept on giftedapp.in and can be brought back on any device with the family code. Without the code nobody can open it, and we can't recover a lost code.
2. "Restore purchases" in Grown-Up Settings brings back permanent Digital Items (such as the Toastie's Treasure Pack, buddies, celebration screens and packs) bought with the same Google account, on any device.
3. Crumb packs are used up when their Crumbs are added. "Restore purchases" adds a Crumb pack's Crumbs only if they were never added after payment (for example, if the app closed during checkout). It does not add them again after they have been added once.
4. You are responsible for keeping your device and its app data. We are not responsible for progress or Crumbs lost because the app's data was erased or the device was lost, reset or replaced, unless they can be brought back with Family backup.

10. No advertising

Gifted does not show advertisements, in the app or on our website, and we do not share any information with advertisers.

11. Third-party services

The Service uses services from third parties, namely Google Play (for downloads and payments). Your use of those services is also governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their services, but we choose them carefully and will help you if something goes wrong with a purchase.

12. Intellectual property

The Service and everything in it, including the Gifted name and logo, Toastie and the other characters, games, questions, stories, pictures, animations, voices, music and software, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by Indian and international copyright, trade mark and other laws. Except for the licence in section 3, no rights are given to you. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them freely without any obligation to you.

13. Changes and availability

We keep improving Gifted, so games, stories, Shop items and features may be added, changed or removed. We try to keep the Service running at all times, but it may sometimes be unavailable, for example during maintenance or because of problems with the internet, your device or our providers. If we stop offering a paid feature that you bought within the last 12 months, we will offer a fair replacement or a proportionate refund.

14. Disclaimers

Gifted is an educational game. It is not a substitute for a teacher, therapist, doctor or a Grown-up's care, and the growth report and tips are for general guidance only, not a professional assessment. Please supervise screen time; the app's time limits and eye-care tools help but do not replace supervision. To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from or connected with the Service. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the total amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, or your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against any claim, loss or cost (including reasonable legal fees) that arises because you broke these Terms, misused the Service, or made a fraudulent payment, refund or chargeback claim.

17. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Gifted at any time and erase its data from Grown-Up Settings. We may suspend or end your access to the Service, cancel Digital Items or remove Crumbs if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, commit fraud or a chargeback in bad faith, or if the law requires it. Where we end access without such a reason, we will refund any Digital Item you can no longer use that you bought in the previous 12 months. Sections 5, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 20 continue after termination.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. If you have a concern, please contact us first: most problems can be solved quickly by email. If a dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days, it will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Mumbai, Maharashtra. This does not affect your right to approach a Consumer Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

19. Grievance Officer

In line with the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, our Grievance Officer is:

We acknowledge every complaint within 48 hours and resolve it within one month of receiving it.

20. General

• Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app before they apply. Changes never apply to a purchase made before them. If you keep using the Service after a change, you accept the new Terms.
• Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as natural disasters, network or power failures, or failures of payment or hosting providers.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, the rest stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later.
• Transfer. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours to a business that takes over the Service, and your rights will not be reduced.
• Whole agreement. These Terms, together with the policies named above, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If a translation differs from this English version, the English version applies.
