Terms of Service
The short version. Evergreen is free to play. Gems, outfits, pets, gear and everything else inside the game are licensed to you for play, not sold, and have no real-world value. Purchases go through Apple and follow Apple's refund rules. The gacha is random and shows its rates and guarantee on the banner. Play fair, keep a backup by signing in to Game Center, and be nice to the slimes.

1. The agreement
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and One Light Media LLC (“we”, “us”), the developer and publisher of Evergreen. By downloading, installing or playing the App, or by using the Site, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old to play Evergreen. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may play only with the permission of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and who is responsible for any purchases made on their device. The App is rated 12+ on the App Store for mild fantasy violence and simulated gambling elements that pay only in-game rewards.
3. Your licence to play
We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own entertainment, in line with these Terms and the App Store's terms. You may not copy, modify, decompile, reverse engineer, sell, rent, sublicense or distribute the App or any part of it, except where the law expressly allows it.
4. Virtual items and currency
Evergreen contains virtual currencies (gold, gems, shards, energy) and virtual items (outfits, pets, gear, forge stones, tickets, boosts and similar) (together, “Virtual Items”). Whether you earn them by playing or buy them with real money:
- Virtual Items are licensed to you for use inside the App. You do not own them, and they are not your property.
- Virtual Items have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for real money or anything of value outside the App, and cannot be sold, traded, gifted or transferred to another player or account.
- We may change the price, availability, effect, appearance or balance of any Virtual Item, and add or remove Virtual Items, as part of updating the game. We try to make such changes fair.
- Virtual Items are consumed or granted at the moment of the purchase or pull, and are not refundable except as described in section 5.
5. In-app purchases
The App offers optional purchases: gem packs (consumable), a one-time Starter Bundle (non-consumable), and a Monthly Card that lasts 30 days from purchase and does not renew automatically. Prices are shown in the App Store before you buy and may differ by country.
- All purchases are made through Apple's App Store under Apple's terms and are charged to your Apple ID. We do not handle your payment details.
- Refunds are handled by Apple. If you believe a purchase was made in error, request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. Gems and items granted by a refunded purchase may be removed from your save.
- If a purchase completes but the item does not appear, restart the App. If you were charged for something you did not receive, request a refund from Apple.
- Purchases by a minor using a device you control are your responsibility. Use Screen Time or Ask to Buy on iOS to require approval for purchases.
6. Gacha, Plinko and chance
Some features in Evergreen involve chance:
- Gacha banners give a random reward from a listed pool. Rewards can be pulled with gems, which can be earned in play or purchased, or with tickets earned in play. The pity guarantee (currently a guaranteed Legendary reward within 50 pulls on the standard banner) is shown on the banner in the App. Owned outfits and pets are skipped, so a pull is always something new or a shard bundle.
- Plinko and the other mini-games are games of skill and chance that pay only in-game XP, gold and items.
Nothing in Evergreen can be exchanged for real money or prizes outside the game. Because the outcome of a pull or a round is random by design, an unlucky result is not a defect and is not refundable. Please play responsibly and set a budget you are comfortable with.
7. Progress, saves and backups
Your progress is stored on your device. If you sign in to Game Center, the App also keeps a backup in your iCloud account and can restore it on your other devices. Backing up is your responsibility: if you delete the App or lose a device without a backup, we cannot recreate your save, including any purchased Virtual Items that were already consumed.
8. Fair play
While playing you agree not to:
- use cheats, exploits, bots, automation, modified clients, memory editors or any other method to gain an unfair advantage or to obtain Virtual Items without earning or buying them;
- tamper with save files, iCloud data, purchase receipts or the App's network traffic;
- interfere with the App, the Site, Apple's services or Unity's services, or attempt to access them in an unauthorised way;
- use the App for any unlawful purpose, or to harass, defame or harm anyone;
- use Evergreen's artwork, characters or name to suggest that we endorse anything we have not.
Reporting a bug you found, or making a video, stream or fan art of the game, is welcome and is not a breach of these Terms.
9. Changes to the game
Evergreen is a live game. We may add, change, rebalance or remove features, stages, items, prices and rewards, release updates, and require you to install an update to keep playing. We may also suspend or discontinue the App at any time. If we permanently shut the App down, we will try to post notice on the Site beforehand. Because Virtual Items have no monetary value, we do not offer compensation for unused Virtual Items when the game ends, except where the law requires it.
10. Ending the agreement
You can stop playing at any time by deleting the App. We may suspend or end your licence to play, and remove Virtual Items obtained unfairly, if you breach these Terms. Sections 4, 6, 11, 13, 14, 16 and 17 survive the end of this agreement.
11. Ownership
The App, the Site, and everything in them, including the Evergreen name, the hero and monster characters, artwork, animations, music, sound effects, text, code, game design and Virtual Items, are owned by or licensed to us and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Apart from the licence in section 3, nothing in these Terms gives you any rights in them. The Lilita One typeface is used under the SIL Open Font License. Unity, Apple, App Store, Game Center and iCloud are trademarks of their respective owners.
12. Feedback
If you send us ideas, suggestions or bug reports, you agree that we can use them freely to improve the game without owing you anything. We will not claim ownership of your fan art or videos.
13. Disclaimers
The App and the Site are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of loss of data. Some jurisdictions do not allow these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost progress, lost Virtual Items, lost profits or lost data, arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms. Our total liability to you for any claim will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us through the App in the 12 months before the claim arose, or USD 50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
15. Apple
These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App, is not responsible for any product warranty or for addressing any claims relating to the App (including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, or intellectual property claims), and is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you. Your use of the App must also comply with the App Store Terms of Service. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which we reside, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the consumer protection law of your country of residence gives you protections that cannot be waived. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally; most problems are a missing purchase or a lost save, and we can usually fix those. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the courts of that state, and you and we each consent to their jurisdiction, unless your local law requires otherwise.
17. General
- We may update these Terms. The effective date at the top will change. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the new Terms.
- If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
- Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it.
- You may not transfer this agreement. We may transfer it to a successor who takes over the App.
- These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App.
