Subscription Terms

Effective date: September 28, 2026

1. About these Terms

1.1 Who we are. These Subscription Terms (these "Terms") are issued by Summer Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Summer", "we", "us", "our"), with offices at 2810 N Church St, STE 89812, Wilmington, DE 19802, United States. Contact: support@summerengine.com.

1.2 What these Terms cover. These Terms govern every automatically renewing paid plan we offer on the Platform (each, a "Subscription"). These Terms are Additional Terms under the Summer Games Terms of Service. For Subscription matters, these Terms control over the Summer Games Terms of Service; for refunds, the Refund and Billing Policy controls together with Section 12 of these Terms. These Terms apply to every Subscription that Summer bills directly, whether the plan belongs to Summer Games or to Summer Engine. No Subscription is sold inside a Paid Game. Every Subscription is billed by Summer. If any other terms shown at a Summer checkout describe the automatic renewal, cancellation or refund of a plan that these Terms cover, these Terms control on those matters.

1.3 Defined terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined here have the meanings given in the Summer Dictionary.

1.4 Your legal rights are not limited. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable right you have under applicable law, including state automatic renewal laws. Where the law of your state grants you more than these Terms do, the law controls.

2. What Subscriptions are

2.1 Plans. We currently offer the Subscription plans listed at [SUBSCRIPTION PLANS URL], under the names [SUBSCRIPTION PLAN NAMES], with pricing in the Fee and Rates Schedule Section 9.1. Each plan's page states its benefits, price and billing period. Benefits may include a monthly grant of Sparks (Section 6), Platform features, Creator tooling features and other benefits stated on the plan page. Until a plan is listed in the Fee and Rates Schedule, no Subscription is offered and these Terms have no effect.

2.2 Benefits are licensed, not owned. Subscription benefits, including granted Sparks and any Virtual Content benefits, are licensed to you under the Summer Games Terms of Service for as long as stated there and here. They are not property, have no equivalent value in real currency and cannot be exchanged for real currency.

2.3 Personal use. Subscriptions attach to a single Account and cannot be shared, transferred or resold. A Parent Account holder may purchase a Subscription for a Linked Account under Section 3.2; that Subscription attaches to the Linked Account and the Parent Account holder is the purchaser.

3. Who can subscribe

3.1 Purchasers must be adults. You may purchase a Subscription only if you have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction or state of residence (18 in most US states) and can form a binding contract, or if you are a Parent Account holder purchasing for a Linked Account under Section 3.2. The separate rule in the Summer Games Terms of Service Section 8, under which only Users who have reached the age of majority may buy Sparks or make real-money purchases inside Summer Games, applies to Sparks and Summer Games purchases only. It does not govern Subscriptions or metered AI usage, which are governed by these Terms and by the AI Features and Generated Content Terms.

3.2 Subscriptions for Linked Accounts. A Parent Account holder may purchase a Subscription for a Linked Account of a User aged 13 to 17. The Parent Account holder is the purchaser, the subscriber and the Account Holder for that Subscription: the disclosures, consent, reminders and cancellation controls in Sections 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 run to the Parent Account holder, and the Parent Account holder is responsible for every charge under the Parent Account Terms Sections 5.1 and 6.1. The Subscription's features attach to the Linked Account. Any Sparks grant included in the plan is delivered to a Linked Account only under the Teen Sparks Allowance, which is reserved under the Parent Account Terms; until it is active, the plan page states that the grant does not apply to Linked Accounts. A Subscription cannot be purchased by, or billed to, an Account registered to a User who has not reached the age of majority. A purchase made by a minor using an adult's Account is handled under the Refund and Billing Policy unauthorized charge process, including its first-time refund, which Section 12.1 preserves.

3.3 Creator monetization is separate. Holding a Subscription does not enroll you in the Summer Creator Program (the "Creator Program") and does not change the eligibility rules of the Creator Program Terms, including its 18+ requirement. Sparks granted under a Subscription never become Earned Sparks.

4. What we show you before you pay

4.1 Pre-purchase disclosure. Before you confirm any Subscription purchase, we display, clearly and conspicuously and in immediate visual proximity to the confirmation control: (a) that the Subscription renews automatically until you cancel; (b) the price you will be charged each billing period, and how taxes are handled; (c) the length of each billing period and the date or interval of each charge; (d) if the offer includes a free trial or promotional price, the duration of that trial or promotional period and the price that will be charged after it ends; (e) the method for cancelling, with a statement that cancellation is available online in your Account settings; (f) that any Sparks included are a license and not property; and (g) a link to these Terms and to the Refund and Billing Policy.

4.2 No minimum commitment. Our Subscriptions have no minimum term beyond the current billing period unless a plan page expressly states otherwise, in which case the minimum term is disclosed under Section 4.1 before you pay.

4.3 One charge model. Subscriptions are charged at the start of each billing period. We never convert a Subscription into a different plan, add paid benefits or change the billing period without your affirmative consent.

5. Your consent to automatic renewal

5.1 Separate, affirmative consent. We start a Subscription only after you take a separate affirmative action (such as checking an unchecked box or clicking a dedicated control) that consents specifically to the automatic renewal terms disclosed under Section 4.1. This consent is not bundled with acceptance of the Summer Games Terms of Service, is not pre-checked, and is not inferred from silence or inaction. Completing a purchase without this separate consent is not possible in our checkout flow.

5.2 Confirmation in writing. Promptly after you subscribe, we send an acknowledgment email that you can retain, containing: the automatic renewal terms you agreed to, the price and billing period, the free trial terms if any, the cancellation policy, and a direct link to cancel. We also make this information permanently available in your Account settings.

5.3 Records. We keep verifiable records of each subscriber's consent under Section 5.1, and of the disclosures shown at the time of consent, for at least three years, or one year after the Subscription terminates, whichever is longer.

6. Monthly Sparks grants

6.1 Grants are Purchased Sparks, tagged to the period. If your plan includes a Sparks grant, the granted Sparks are credited to your Account on each billing date as a Purchase Lot tagged to that billing period (for a Subscription for a Linked Account, Section 3.2 states when a grant is delivered). All Sparks granted under a Subscription are Purchased Sparks for all purposes. They are never Earned Sparks, they can never be the basis of a Program Payment or move to any earned ledger, and they never convert to money for anyone. The three-instrument model is described in the Summer Games Terms of Service and the Summer Dictionary.

6.2 License terms apply. Granted Sparks are subject to the same license terms as all other Sparks: your right to use them is a limited, revocable, non-transferable license; they have no equivalent value in real currency and cannot be exchanged for real currency; they are not transferable between Users; they are not usable outside the Platform, including in any Exported Game or other game distributed off the Platform, except as the Summer Games Terms of Service Section 8.8 provides; and they are not refundable for money under any Section of the Refund and Billing Policy because the Subscription charge, not the grant, is what Section 12.2 refunds.

6.3 After cancellation. Cancelling stops future grants. Sparks already granted remain in the Account, usable under their license, after the Subscription ends.

6.4 Grants follow the charge. Grants are made only for billing periods actually paid. If a billing period's charge is refunded, that period's Purchase Lot is removed to the extent unspent; if part of it was spent, Section 12.2 and the Refund and Billing Policy state how the refund is reduced and what is removed. If a billing period's charge is reversed through a chargeback, the Refund and Billing Policy Section 9 applies to that period's Lot and to nothing else on the Account.

7. Free trials and promotional pricing

7.1 Disclosure. Free trials and promotional prices are always disclosed under Section 4.1, including the exact date or event on which the paid price begins.

7.2 Conversion notice. Before a free trial or promotional period converts to a standard paid price, we send you a notice identifying the upcoming charge amount and date and linking directly to cancellation. For trials or promotional periods longer than 31 days, we send this notice at least 3 days and not more than 21 days before the first standard charge. For shorter trials, we send it a reasonable time before the charge.

7.3 Cancel during the trial. You can cancel at any time during a trial and keep the trial benefits until the trial ends. Cancelling during the trial means you are never charged.

7.4 One trial per Account. Unless an offer states otherwise, free trials are limited to one per Account and per payment method.

8. Renewal reminders

8.1 Annual and longer terms. For Subscriptions with a billing period of one year or longer, we send a renewal reminder at least 15 days and not more than 45 days before each renewal charge, stating the plan, the renewal price, the renewal date and a direct cancellation link.

8.2 Monthly and shorter terms. For Subscriptions with billing periods shorter than one year, we send a reminder at least once every 12 months summarizing the plan, the current price, the billing frequency and how to cancel, in addition to the per-charge receipts required by the Refund and Billing Policy.

8.3 Delivery. Reminders are sent to the email address on the purchaser's Account. Keeping that address current is your responsibility, and you can update it at any time in Account settings.

9. How to cancel

9.1 Click to quit. You can cancel a Subscription at any time, online, at will, in your Account settings, in the same medium you used to subscribe, through a prominently located direct link or button on the Subscription management page. Because every Subscription is purchased through Summer's online checkout (Section 14), the same medium is Summer's online Account settings, reachable from the website, the desktop application and the iOS app. Cancellation completes in no more than two affirmative steps. We never require a phone call, a chat session, a mailed request or a stated reason, and we never make cancelling harder than subscribing.

9.2 No forced retention flow. We may show you, at most, one message before cancellation completes (for example, a summary of what you will lose or an alternative offer). You can always complete cancellation without responding to that message, through a control that is displayed at least as prominently as any offer.

9.3 Confirmation. We confirm every cancellation immediately on screen and by email.

9.4 When cancellation takes effect. Cancellation stops all future charges. Benefits continue until the end of the billing period you have already paid for, and the Subscription then ends. We do not charge cancellation fees.

9.5 Cancellation by email fallback. If the online flow is ever unavailable, you can cancel by emailing support@summerengine.com, and the cancellation is effective as of the date you sent the email.

10. Price and benefit changes

10.1 Notice first. If we increase the price of your Subscription, or materially reduce its benefits, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the change applies to you. The notice states the new price or changed benefits, the date of your first renewal at the new terms, and a direct cancellation link.

10.2 Your choice. The change applies only to renewals occurring after the notice period. If you do nothing, the Subscription renews at the new terms; if you cancel before the renewal, you are never charged the new price. Where applicable law requires your affirmative consent to a price change rather than notice and continued renewal, we will obtain it.

10.3 Benefit improvements. We may add benefits or reduce prices without advance notice.

11. Payment and failed payments

11.1 Billing. The payment method on file is charged on each billing date. Receipts issue for every charge under the Refund and Billing Policy. Payments are powered by Stripe.

11.2 Failed charges. If a renewal charge fails, we may retry it for up to 10 days. During that window your benefits continue. If the charge still fails, the Subscription is paused: benefits stop, no debt accrues and no fees are added. You can resume by updating your payment method.

11.3 No punitive measures. A failed subscription payment, or a disputed subscription charge, never results in the lock, suspension or termination of your Account, and never in removal of content or purchases unrelated to the unpaid period. The chargeback commitments in the Refund and Billing Policy apply to Subscription charges in full.

12. Refunds

12.1 The Refund and Billing Policy governs. Refunds of Subscription charges are governed by the Refund and Billing Policy, including its Parent Refund Channel, its unauthorized charge process and its chargeback commitments.

12.2 Renewal charge refunds. In addition, you may request a refund of the most recent Subscription charge within 14 days of that charge if the Sparks granted for that billing period are unspent and the period's other paid benefits are materially unused. If the granted Purchase Lot is partly spent, we refund the charge reduced pro rata by the share of the grant already spent (the Refund and Billing Policy Section 4.3 formula applied to the grant) and remove the unspent remainder. When a refund issues under this Section, the Subscription is cancelled as of the refund.

12.3 If we end a plan mid-period. If we discontinue your plan, or materially reduce its benefits during a period you have already paid for, you may choose between a pro rata refund of that period's charge to your payment method and an equivalent credit, and the Subscription will not renew unless you affirmatively accept a replacement plan.

12.4 Statutory rights. Nothing in this Section limits refund rights under applicable law. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom and the EU and UK Consumer Addendum has been activated for your country, it states how the 14-day statutory cancellation right for distance contracts applies to a Subscription and to the Sparks delivered under it.

13. Changes to Subscriptions and to these Terms

13.1 Changing plans. You can upgrade, downgrade or switch plans in Account settings. Changes take effect at the next billing date unless we state otherwise at the time; if an upgrade takes effect immediately, we charge only the disclosed prorated difference after an explicit confirmation.

13.2 Changes to these Terms. We may update these Terms with at least 30 days' notice by email and in-product notice for material changes. Changes apply to billing periods that begin after the notice period. If you do not agree, cancel before your next renewal and no changed term will ever have applied to you. Prior versions are archived at summer.games/legal/archive.

14. Where Subscriptions are sold; app stores

At launch, Subscriptions are sold on our website and desktop applications, and from Summer's iOS app through a link that opens Summer's web checkout in the device browser, where the app store operator permits such a link (the United States storefront at launch); in every case the Subscription is billed by Summer and these Terms apply in full. No Subscription is sold through Apple in-app purchase at launch. Sparks Packs travel a different channel: they are sold as App Store Purchases in the Summer iOS app in every launch country from launch day, billed by Apple, under the Apple App Store Addendum and iOS Compliance Notes and the Fee and Rates Schedule Section 3, and nothing in this Section describes a Sparks Pack. If we later offer Subscriptions through mobile app stores, those Subscriptions will be billed, renewed and cancelled through the app store operator under its terms, and its cancellation and refund mechanisms will control the charge itself. Our disclosures under Sections 4 and 5 will still be shown in-app, Sparks granted under such Subscriptions remain Purchased Sparks under Section 6, and the ledger-level commitments of the Refund and Billing Policy still apply.

15. Ending your Account

If you close your Account, any Subscription on it is cancelled automatically and no further charges are made; closure mid-period does not by itself generate a refund except as the Refund and Billing Policy or applicable law provides. If we terminate your Account for cause under the Summer Games Terms of Service, the Subscription ends with it, and any refund of the current period is handled under the Refund and Billing Policy.

16. General

16.1 Order of precedence. For Subscriptions: these Terms, then the Refund and Billing Policy for refund and billing matters, then the Summer Games Terms of Service.

16.2 Dispute resolution and governing law. Any Dispute between you and Summer arising out of or relating to these Subscription Terms is governed by Section 23 (Dispute resolution and arbitration agreement) and Section 24 (Governing law and venue) of the Summer Games Terms of Service, which are incorporated into these Subscription Terms by reference and are not restated here. Those Sections include a mandatory informal resolution period, an agreement to individual arbitration for US Residents with a thirty (30) day right to opt out, a small claims option, a protocol for Coordinated Cases, and class action and jury trial waivers to the extent the law allows. Nothing in these Subscription Terms changes, restates or adds to those Sections; if any text in these Subscription Terms appears to do so, Sections 23 and 24 of the Summer Games Terms of Service control.
