Terms of Use
Publisher: ARCTICS GROUP
Last updated: 1 September 2026
Effective date: 1 September 2026
1. THESE TERMS
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and
ARCTICS GROUP, a societe a responsabilite limitee registered in France under
SIREN 930 474 473 ("ARCTICS GROUP", "we", "us"), governing your use of the
mobile game Horde Front (the "Game").
By downloading, installing, or playing the Game you accept these Terms. If you
do not accept them, do not install the Game, or delete it.
The way we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms
part of these Terms: https://arcticsgroup.com/hordefront/privacy

2. WHO MAY PLAY
The Game is rated 12+. If you are a minor under the law of your country, you
may only use the Game with the permission of a holder of parental authority,
who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the
Game.
3. YOUR LICENCE
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable,
revocable licence to install and play the Game on a device you own or control,
for your own private, non-commercial entertainment. The Game is supplied free
of charge.
That is all we grant. We do not sell you the Game or any part of it. All rights
not expressly granted are reserved.
4. WHAT YOU MUST NOT DO
You may not:
- copy, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the Game;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Game, or attempt to extract
its source code, assets, or algorithms, except to the strict extent that
French law (Article L.122-6-1 of the Intellectual Property Code) makes such
acts non-waivable;
- distribute, rent, lease, lend, sell, or publish the Game or any of its files;
- use cheats, mods, memory editors, patched clients, emulated input, bots,
macros, or automation of any kind;
- deliberately exploit a bug, glitch, or error to obtain gold, units, upgrades,
or progress you would not otherwise have;
- attempt to disrupt the Game, or to circumvent any technical protection
measure;
- use the Game in breach of applicable law.
The Game includes no chat, player names, or any other user-generated content,
so nothing you create inside it is published to other players.
5. NO ACCOUNT - YOUR PROGRESS LIVES ON YOUR DEVICE
The Game has no account, no login, and no cloud save. Your progress is stored
only on your device.
This means, plainly: if you delete the Game, reset your device, or lose your
phone, your progress is gone permanently. We hold no copy, and we cannot
restore, transfer, or recover it - for anyone, under any circumstances. Please
play with that in mind.
6. GOLD AND IN-GAME ITEMS
Gold, units, specialists, base buildings, upgrade levels, and every other
in-game item or counter are earned by playing. They cannot be purchased, and
the Game contains no in-app purchases.
They are a feature of the software, not property. Specifically, they:
- have no monetary value and are not convertible into money or anything of
value outside the Game;
- cannot be sold, gifted, traded, transferred, or inherited;
- may be adjusted, rebalanced, reduced, expired, or removed by us as part of
game balancing;
- confer no right to compensation or refund of any kind if lost, changed, or if
the Game is discontinued.
Trading or selling in-game items or saves for real money is prohibited and we
will not honour, restore, or recognise anything obtained that way.
7. UPDATES, BALANCE CHANGES AND REMOVED CONTENT
The Game is a living product. We may at any time, without notice and without
liability:
- publish updates, patches, and bug fixes;
- change game balance - the difficulty of levels, enemy strength, unit stats,
gold rewards, upgrade prices, and the pace of progression;
- add, alter, or remove features, levels, units, or mechanics entirely;
- change the minimum operating system version required.
Your existing progress may be affected by such changes. We will not roll back,
compensate, or refund anything as a result.
We support the Game on iOS 15 and above. Older devices and operating systems
may stop working with the Game after an update.
8. AVAILABILITY AND DISCONTINUATION
The Game is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not promise it will be
free of interruption or error, or that it will remain published.
We may discontinue the Game at any time, including withdrawing it from the App
Store and ceasing all updates and support. Where reasonably possible we will
announce it in advance through the App Store listing. On discontinuation, your
licence ends and no compensation is due for progress, gold, or items -
consistent with Section 6.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Game and everything in it - code, gameplay systems, characters, models,
animations, procedurally generated audio, music, interface, text, and the name
Horde Front - is owned by ARCTICS GROUP or licensed to us, and is protected by
French and international intellectual property law.
You may create and publish gameplay videos, screenshots, and streams of the
Game, including on monetised channels, provided you do not present them as
official, do not use them to disparage ARCTICS GROUP unlawfully, and do not
distribute the Game's files or assets themselves. We may revoke this permission
for a specific person in case of abuse.
10. FEEDBACK
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or bug reports, you grant us a free,
worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable right to use them in the Game or any other
product, with no obligation of confidentiality, attribution, or payment. Do not
send us anything you are not willing to give away on those terms.
11. WARRANTIES
The Game is supplied free of charge and "as is". To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties, including fitness for a
particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Nothing in this section removes the legal guarantee of conformity and the
guarantee against hidden defects owed to consumers under Articles L.217-1 et
seq. of the French Consumer Code and Articles 1641 et seq. of the Civil Code,
to the extent they apply to digital content supplied free of charge.
12. LIABILITY
We are liable for damage caused by our own fault, in accordance with French
law.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for: loss of game progress or
in-game items (Sections 5 and 6); indirect or consequential loss; loss of
profit, data, or opportunity; or damage caused by your breach of these Terms,
by modified or jailbroken devices, or by third-party software you install.
Because the Game is supplied free of charge, our aggregate liability for all
claims arising from the Game is limited to 100 EUR.
These limitations do not apply, and are expressly excluded, in respect of:
death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or gross or wilful
misconduct (faute lourde ou dolosive); and any liability that cannot lawfully
be limited. Any clause that would deprive our essential obligation of its
substance is deemed unwritten pursuant to Article 1170 of the Civil Code.
If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of the mandatory
protections of the law of your country of residence.
13. TERM AND TERMINATION
These Terms apply for as long as the Game is installed on your device.
You may terminate at any time by deleting the Game. That is the only step
required.
We may suspend or terminate your licence with immediate effect if you
materially breach these Terms, in particular Section 4. Since the Game has no
accounts, this takes the practical form of your licence ending and our support
obligations ceasing; you must then delete the Game.
Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 16 survive termination.
14. APPLE-SPECIFIC TERMS
The following apply because you obtained the Game through the App Store:
1. These Terms are concluded between you and ARCTICS GROUP only, not with
Apple. ARCTICS GROUP alone is responsible for the Game and its content.
2. The licence in Section 3 is limited to use of the Game on Apple-branded
products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules of the App
Store Terms of Service.
3. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish maintenance or support for the
Game.
4. In the event of any failure of the Game to conform to any applicable
warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of
the Game to you (the Game is free of charge, so that amount is zero). To the
maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation in
respect of the Game.
5. ARCTICS GROUP, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or
a third party relating to the Game or your use of it, including product
liability claims, any claim that the Game fails to conform to a legal or
regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or
similar legislation.
6. ARCTICS GROUP, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence,
settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the Game infringes
that third party's intellectual property rights.
7. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S.
Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and
that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or
restricted parties.
8. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when
using the Game.
9. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and,
upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
15. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
We may amend these Terms to reflect changes to the Game or to the law. The
current version is always the one published at
https://arcticsgroup.com/hordefront/terms, with the "Last updated" date at the
top.
For material changes - anything that reduces your rights or expands ours - we
will notify you in the Game before they take effect. If you do not accept them,
your remedy is to stop playing and delete the Game. Continuing to play after
the effective date means you accept the amended Terms.
16. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES
These Terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer resident in
another EU Member State, this choice does not deprive you of the protection
afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
Amicable resolution first. Please write to contact@arcticsgroup.com before
anything else; most problems are settled that way.
Courts. Failing amicable resolution, disputes fall to the competent French
courts. If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings before the court of
the place where you resided at the time the contract was concluded or where the
harmful event occurred, at your choice.
There is no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver in these Terms.
17. MISCELLANEOUS
Severability. If a provision is held invalid, the rest remains in force and the
invalid provision is replaced by a valid one of the closest possible effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them as part of a
transfer of the Game or of our business, without reducing your rights.
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement
between us regarding the Game.
18. CONTACT
French and English versions of these Terms are published together. In the event
of a discrepancy, the French version prevails for users resident in France.
