Lucidor — terms of use and sale

Version of 22 October 2026. The French version prevails · Français

1. Purpose

These terms govern the use of the game Lucidor — Sudoku (the "game"), published by Aplomb (Jérôme Lasalle, sole trader (entrepreneur individuel) trading as Aplomb, 4 impasse du Couchant, 78630 Morainvilliers, France, trade register RCS Versailles 109 075 572) (the "publisher"), and the sale of its Complete Edition. Installing or launching the game means accepting these terms.

2. What is offered

• The game is a free download and plays with no time limit, no account and no connection. Free for everyone: Classic and Zen at the Gentle, Clear and Steady levels; the whole Daily Three; Flash; importing a grid; the Killer and Diagonal variants; the first chapter of the Atlas of Light; the first five lessons of the School; hints, both themes and every accessibility setting.
• The Complete Edition is unlocked in the app, from the Shop, by a single purchase ("Complete Edition"): the Expert, Master and Fiendish levels, the whole Atlas of Light, the whole School, all twelve variants and their combinations, Frost, Ghost duel and Architect. One payment, no subscription, no advertising, no other purchase in the game. Launch price: €4.99 including VAT in France; the exact price, in your currency, is the one the App Store shows at the time of purchase. The offer never appears during a game: only in the Shop and, at most once per session, after a won grid.
• Family Sharing is not available for the Complete Edition: it belongs to the Apple Account that bought it.
• The purchase is restored free of charge on your other devices and after a reinstall (Shop › "Restore purchases"), with the same Apple Account.
• What is free today stays free. Updates are provided at no extra cost.

3. Purchase, payment, withdrawal and refunds

The purchase is made through Apple's App Store, with your Apple Account. For European customers, Apple Distribution International Ltd. is the merchant of record: Apple collects the payment, delivers the Complete Edition and handles cancellation and refund requests under its own terms (Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions), which apply in addition to these. The publisher receives neither your bank details nor your identity.

Right of withdrawal. The Complete Edition is digital content supplied without a physical medium and unlocked on purchase. The fourteen-day right of withdrawal is exercised with Apple, from your Apple Account's purchase history, under Apple's conditions. Under article L221-28, 13° of the French Code de la consommation, it can no longer be exercised once supply has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgement that you lose this right, and after your agreement has been confirmed; Apple asks for and confirms them at the time of purchase under its own terms. Apple's refund policies may be more favourable; they then apply.

4. Your licence

The publisher grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the game for private purposes, on the devices linked to your Apple Account within the limits set by the App Store. You may not resell, rent or distribute the game, nor extract its elements (bank grids, images, stained-glass windows, sounds, texts, code) for reuse, except where the law expressly allows it (for instance decompilation necessary for interoperability).

5. Grids you import, create or share

• Import. A grid you photograph or type in stays on your device (and in your iCloud if sync is on); it is never sent to the publisher nor added to the game. Make sure you are entitled to use the grid you import (for instance for your personal use).
• Shared codes. Ghost duel and Architect produce a text code and a QR code that you alone decide to send, through the iOS share sheet (Messages, AirDrop, Notes…). The code contains the grid and, depending on the case, your game (moves and time) or your rules, as well as the optional first name you write on it (24 characters at most). No code goes through a publisher's server; the publisher neither receives, keeps nor moderates them.
• Your responsibility. You are the author of what you share and answer for it: do not write in a code a third party's name without their consent, nor anything insulting, defamatory or unlawful, and do not share as your own a grid you have no rights to. The game checks a received code before opening it (complete code, valid grid, unique solution, a game that reaches the solution); this check is technical and does not cover the first name written on it. Only open codes from people you know.

6. iCloud and Game Center

• iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, the game copies your progress to your private iCloud database so you find it on your other devices; a switch in the settings ("Sync with iCloud") stops it. This service is provided by Apple under its terms; the publisher has no access to this copy.
• Game Center. The daily leaderboards are off until you turn them on in the settings; they are provided by Apple under its terms. Your time and your Game Center nickname are visible to other players there. The leaderboards come without any guarantee of permanent availability.

7. Legal guarantees

As a consumer, you benefit from the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content (articles L224-25-12 et seq. of the French Code de la consommation): if the game does not work as described, you may obtain that it be brought into conformity or, failing that, a price reduction or the termination of the contract. To exercise it, write to contact@aplomb-apps.fr or contact Apple.

8. Liability

The publisher does its best for the game to work properly on the devices listed by the App Store. To the extent permitted by law, it is not liable for indirect damage, nor for the loss of games caused by deleting the game or by a device or iCloud failure, nor for the content of codes shared by other players. Nothing in these terms limits the rights the law guarantees to consumers.

9. Intellectual property

The game, its name, logotype, grids, stained-glass windows, sounds, texts and code belong to the publisher or are used under licence. The game's grids are produced by the publisher's generator. The APLOMB trademark is registered with the French INPI (no. 5290792, classes 9 and 42); "Lucidor" is not registered to date. Third-party fonts and components are used under their licences, listed in the game's "About" screen (Settings › About › Licences).

10. Personal data

The publisher collects no personal data through the game. Details are in the privacy policy: https://aplombapps.com/lucidor/en/privacy.html, and in the game (Settings › About).

11. Disputes

In case of difficulty, first write to the publisher (contact@aplomb-apps.fr). After contacting us first, and if our answer does not satisfy you, you may refer the dispute free of charge to the consumer mediator CM2C (Centre de la Médiation de la Consommation de Conciliateurs de Justice), 49 rue de Ponthieu, 75008 Paris, France — phone +33 1 89 47 00 14 — website: https://www.cm2c.net/declarer-un-litige.php — e-mail: litiges@cm2c.net.

These terms are governed by French law. If you live in another country of the European Union, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence.

12. Changes

The publisher may change these terms, notably when new features are added; the applicable version is the one in force on the day of your purchase as regards the sale, and the latest one as regards use. Each version is dated at the top of the document.
