Last Updated: October 19, 2026
Welcome to Shax! These Terms of Use explain the basic rules for using Shax, our board game app featuring Shax, Alquerque, and Nine Holes.
By using Shax, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.
Shax is a board game app featuring traditional strategy games, including online multiplayer and games against the computer where available.
Please use the app respectfully and follow these terms.
Some features may require an account or an internet connection. You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for activity carried out through it.
Do not cheat, exploit bugs, manipulate rankings, disrupt other players, or misuse the app or its online services. Do not use offensive or misleading names or other information to harass or impersonate others.
We may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the app, its users, and fair play.
Shax may offer optional purchases or subscriptions, including Premium features.
Prices, billing periods, and available features are shown through Google Play when you make a purchase. Payments and subscription renewals are handled according to Google Play's terms and payment processes.
Subscriptions may renew automatically unless cancelled through Google Play before the next renewal. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription.
Refunds and cancellations are subject to applicable law and Google Play's policies.
Shax may display advertisements and offer rewarded ads that unlock certain features or benefits.
The app may use third-party services, including Google Firebase, Google AdMob, and Google Play Billing, to support features such as online play, app reliability, advertising, and purchases. Those services may have their own terms and privacy practices.
For details about information handled by Shax, please read our Privacy Policy.
We work to keep Shax available and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. Online features may be affected by internet connectivity, maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.
We may update, change, or discontinue features when reasonably necessary.
Shax's app software, design, branding, and original content are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Shax does not claim ownership of traditional board-game rules or concepts merely because they are featured in the app. Our rights apply to our own software, design, branding, and original materials.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, or misuse Shax's protected app materials without permission, except where permitted by law.
You agree to use Shax lawfully and not to interfere with its operation or other users' enjoyment of the app.
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The latest version will be available on our website. Continued use of Shax after an update means you accept the revised terms, to the extent permitted by law.
These terms are governed by the laws of Uganda, subject to any mandatory legal protections that apply to you in your country of residence.
