Terms of Use

Last updated: November 4, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the mobile game Friction Racing ("the Game"). By downloading, installing or playing the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.

Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer under the laws of the country where you live.

1. Who we are

The Game is developed and published by Squaremod, the trade name of Jeremy Tison, sole trader, registered in France (Tours). Contact: contact@squaremod.com. Our full legal details are also shown on the Game's store page, under "About the developer".

2. Early access

The Game is currently in early access: it is still in development. Features, tracks, vehicles, the in-game economy and the balance of the Game may change, and you may encounter bugs. We do our best to preserve your progress across updates, but we cannot guarantee that every element of an early access version will remain unchanged. Your feedback is welcome at contact@squaremod.com.

3. Who can play

If you are a minor, you must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian to use the Game, and in particular to make in-app purchases. Parents can restrict purchases in the settings of their app store (for example, purchase authentication in Google Play).

4. Your account

• When you first launch the Game, a guest account is created automatically on your device. If you uninstall the Game or change devices without linking an account, your progress may be lost.
• You can link a Unity account to recover your progress on another device. Unity accounts are operated by Unity Technologies under their own terms.
• You are responsible for the activity on your account. Do not share or sell your account.
• You can delete your account at any time from the Game or by email - see Delete your account. Deletion is permanent and removes your progress, virtual items and leaderboard entries.

5. Nicknames, leaderboards and friends

Your nickname, player code and race times are visible to other players. Your nickname must not:

• be offensive, hateful, sexual, violent or discriminatory;
• impersonate another person, a brand or Squaremod;
• contain personal information (your real name, phone number, address...) or advertising.

We may change a nickname that breaks these rules, and remove times from leaderboards when they are obtained by cheating or by exploiting a bug.

6. Fair play

You agree not to:

• use cheats, bots, modified versions of the Game or third-party tools that give an unfair advantage;
• exploit bugs to obtain virtual items or leaderboard times - please report them to us instead;
• tamper with our servers, the Game's code or its data, or try to access other players' accounts;
• use the Game for any unlawful purpose.

If you break these rules, we may, in proportion to the seriousness of the breach, remove the items or times obtained unfairly, reset your progress, or suspend or close your account. Except in urgent or obvious cases, we will inform you and give you the opportunity to respond by email.

7. Virtual items

The Game contains virtual currencies (coins and gems), energy, and items such as vehicles, upgrades, tracks and cups ("Virtual Items").

• Virtual Items are licensed to you for use in the Game only. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for real money, and cannot be transferred or sold to other players or outside the Game.
• As the Game evolves, we may adjust prices, rewards and the balance of the in-game economy. We will not remove a Virtual Item you purchased with real money, except as described in sections 6 and 11.

8. In-app purchases

• The Game is free to play. Some content can be purchased with real money (in-app purchases). Prices are shown in the Game before you confirm, in your local currency, including applicable taxes.
• Payments are processed by your app store (Google Play or the App Store), under its own terms. We never receive your payment details.
• Coin and gem packs are consumed when used. They are added to your game account, which is saved in the cloud.
• No Ads and VIP are one-time purchases that remain attached to your app store account. You can restore them on a new device signed in with the same store account. They remove interstitial and banner ads; optional rewarded ads remain available.
• Right of withdrawal (EU and UK): in-app purchases are digital content supplied immediately after purchase. When you buy, you request immediate delivery and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the content has been delivered.
• Refunds are handled by your app store under its refund policy. If an item you paid for was not delivered or does not work, contact us with your order number and we will fix it.

9. Random rewards

The Game offers a free Lucky Chest once a day. It cannot be purchased. It contains a random reward with the following odds:

10. Advertising

The Game shows ads, which keep it free to play. Some ads are optional rewarded ads: you choose to watch them in exchange for an in-game reward. The reward is granted only if the ad is watched to the end, and the number of rewarded ads may be limited per day. Ads require an internet connection. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising uses your data.

11. Availability and changes to the Game

• Some features (cloud save, leaderboards, friends, purchases, ads) require an internet connection and depend on third-party services. They may occasionally be unavailable.
• We may update the Game to fix bugs, improve it or add content. Some updates may be required to keep playing online.
• We may stop operating the Game. In that case, we will announce it in the Game or on this site at least 30 days in advance, and stop selling in-app purchases from the date of the announcement.

12. Intellectual property

The Game, its code, graphics, sounds, vehicles, tracks and names belong to Squaremod or its licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the Game on your devices for your own entertainment, in accordance with these Terms and the rules of your app store. You may not copy, modify, decompile, resell or distribute the Game, except where the law expressly allows it.

13. Liability

We provide the Game with care, but as a game in development it may contain errors. To the extent permitted by law, Squaremod is not liable for indirect damages, or for losses caused by the unavailability of third-party services, your device or your internet connection. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where the law does not allow it, in particular for gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content owed to consumers.

14. Privacy

How we collect and use your data is described in our Privacy Policy.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. The "Last updated" date above shows the latest version. Significant changes will be announced in the Game or on this page before they take effect. If you do not accept them, you may stop using the Game and delete your account.

16. Disputes and applicable law

If you have a problem, please contact us first at contact@squaremod.com: most issues can be solved quickly. These Terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim before the courts of that country.
