Terms of Service

App: Pocket Retro Effective: 2026-09-24 Last Updated: 2026-09-24

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Pocket Retro mobile application ("the App"), operated by Tranquil Mind Technology JSC ("we", "us", "our"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (https://policy.tranquilmind.co/pocket-retro/privacy). If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App (or 16, or the higher minimum age of digital consent in your country, where that applies). If you are a minor in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to install and use the App on a device you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. You may not copy, sell, rent, sublicense, modify, decompile or reverse-engineer the App, except to the extent applicable law expressly allows it. Components of the App that are distributed under open-source licences remain governed by those licences, which prevail over this section for those components.

3. The service

Pocket Retro is a retro console emulator. It runs game files stored on your device, keeps a local library, and lets you customise controls, skins, video filters and save states. It can also download game files from a public third-party catalogue and, where available, optionally sync your save files to your own Google Drive.

Availability may vary by region and by device, and we may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the App at any time. Downloadable catalogue content is provided by a third party and may change or disappear without notice.

4. Your content and your responsibility for game files

You are solely responsible for the game files you use with the App. The App is a general-purpose emulator; it ships with no commercial game content and we do not own, licence, host or endorse the games you load or download. You must hold the rights required to use any file you load, and you must comply with the copyright and other laws of your country. We do not authorise, and these Terms do not grant, any right to copy or distribute copyrighted games. If you are a rights holder and believe content reachable through the App infringes your rights, contact us at contact@tranquilmind.co.

Your game files, save data and settings stay on your device unless you choose to sync them to your own Google Drive. You remain responsible for backing them up; we cannot restore data that is lost, corrupted or deleted.

5. Subscriptions, purchases, and ads

The App is free to download and is supported by advertising, including rewarded ads shown before a game is launched. Declining or failing to complete a rewarded ad never prevents you from opening a game in your own library.

Optional purchases are available: a weekly or yearly subscription, and a one-time lifetime purchase, which remove advertising and unlock additional features. All purchases are processed through Google Play Billing; we never receive your payment details.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval shown at purchase, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel a subscription in the Google Play Store → Subscriptions; uninstalling the App does not cancel it. Refunds follow Google Play's refund policy and any mandatory consumer rights in your country. Prices may change; any change applies from the next billing period and will be notified as required by Google Play.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the App to break the law or infringe anyone's rights; to distribute copyrighted game files you do not have the right to share; to disrupt, overload or attack the App or the services it relies on; to bypass or tamper with advertising, purchases, entitlements or other access controls; to use bots, scrapers or automated means against the App or its catalogue; or to upload malicious files. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations.

7. Intellectual property

The App itself, its design, interface, trademarks and our original content are owned by Tranquil Mind Technology JSC or its licensors. Open-source components remain the property of their respective authors and are used under their licences. Third-party names, console names and trademarks that may appear belong to their owners; their appearance does not imply affiliation with, sponsorship by or endorsement from those owners.

8. Third-party services and content

The App uses third-party services for advertising, analytics, attribution, crash reporting, payments and optional Google Drive sync, and it reads a catalogue hosted by a third party. Each is governed by its own terms and privacy policy, listed in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for third-party services or content, their availability, or any loss arising from them.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will run uninterrupted, error-free or securely, that every game file will run correctly, or that save data will always be preserved.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits or lost save files. Our total liability arising out of or relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or USD 50. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply to the fullest extent permitted.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tranquil Mind Technology JSC and its officers, employees and partners against claims, damages and costs arising from your misuse of the App, from the game files you load or share, or from your breach of these Terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, including for breach of these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification and governing law survive termination.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continuing to use the App after the change means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Hanoi, Vietnam have jurisdiction over disputes. Mandatory consumer protection rights available to you in your country of residence are not affected.
