Terms of use | Sayko!

Version: 1.0 · Effective: 8 November 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Outis Tech LLC (“Outis Tech”, “we”, “us”) about your use of the Sayko! mobile application (the “App”). Outis Tech LLC is a Pennsylvania (USA) limited liability company, located at 250 N Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19106, USA; email info@outistech.com. You can also reach us from the Contact Us screen in the App.

By ticking “I have read and accept the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy” when you sign in, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.

How we process your personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy and, for users in Türkiye, the KVKK Information Notice. Those documents are not part of these Terms; our legal basis for processing your personal data is not your acceptance of these Terms but the grounds explained in the Privacy Policy.

1. Age requirement

1.1. You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. In some countries local law requires a higher minimum age; for example, in India the minimum age is 18. The minimum age that applies in your country is shown on the sign-in screen. 1.2. If you are under 18 (or under the age of majority in your country), you may use the App only with the permission of your parent or legal guardian. Your parent or guardian must have read and accepted these Terms on your behalf; in-app purchases also require the permission of your parent or guardian. Some features are restricted for users aged 13–17: they cannot upload a profile photo, they are not shown personalized ads, and no usage analytics are collected. 1.3. All content in the App is made for ages 13 and up; there are no adult content packages. 1.4. You must state your birth year (and your birth month, if asked) truthfully. To determine your age group, we also use the age information provided by the App Store and Google Play. If you are below the minimum age, you may not use the App; we delete accounts found to belong to someone below the minimum age. Accounts found to belong to someone under 18 are moved to restricted mode.

2. Accounts

2.1. Registered account: You can sign in with your Google or Apple account. You are responsible for the security of your account and for actions taken with it. Tell us if you notice unauthorized use of your account. 2.2. Guest account: You can play as a guest. Guest accounts are temporary: if the App is not used for 24 hours after the last use, the guest ID expires and your progress, titles and other data are lost. Guests cannot create rooms or start single-device games (they can only join rooms), cannot change their avatar and cannot use frames, card backgrounds or sound sets; they can only change their username. Guests cannot make purchases; you must sign in with Google or Apple to buy. 2.3. Username and Sayko ID: Your Sayko ID is made of your username, a # sign and a 4-digit number (e.g. name#1234); your friends add you with this ID. You can change your username once every 90 days; when you change it, your Sayko ID changes too. 2.4. You may not transfer, sell or rent your account. You may not create an account on behalf of, or impersonating, someone else. You may not use multiple accounts for abusive purposes (e.g. to evade a ban). 2.5. What other players see: Your username, Sayko ID, profile photo or avatar, level, title and the cosmetics you use are visible to other players. Your statistics are visible only to your friends; you can hide your recent matches from your friends. Your friends can see whether you are online and which game you are in; you can hide this with Appear offline. Details are in the Privacy Policy. You do not have to use your real name. 2.6. Real players on a single device: You can invite registered friends to a single-device game; each friend confirms the invitation on their own phone. The game’s results, XP, titles and statistics are written to the account of each player who confirmed.

3. License

3.1. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the App for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment on devices you own or control. On iOS, this license is limited to the devices permitted by the App Store Usage Rules. 3.2. You may need to install updates for the App to keep working; older versions may not be supported. 3.3. You may not:

copy, modify, reverse engineer or attempt to obtain the source code of the App (except where the law expressly allows it);
use cheats, bots, automation, modified clients or unauthorized third-party software;
exploit bugs for your benefit or to the detriment of others (please report bugs from the Contact Us screen or to info@outistech.com);
overload our servers, attempt to bypass security measures, or try to access other users’ accounts or data;
use, resell or distribute the App or its content for commercial purposes;
copy the App’s content (cards, words, questions, images, sounds) in bulk or use it in another product.

4. Rules of conduct

In the App (including your username, profile photo and what you type in games), the following are prohibited:

insults, profanity, harassment, bullying and threats;
hate speech or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or any other characteristic;
obscene or sexual content and images or expressions containing nudity; any content that depicts persons under 18 in a sexual context;
content that glorifies or encourages violence, self-harm, illegal activity or drug use;
sharing other people’s personal information (address, phone number, etc.);
impersonating another person, the Sayko! team or an organization;
content that infringes others’ copyrights, trademarks or personality rights (e.g. using someone else’s photo without permission);
spam, advertising or fraud (including using friend requests and room invites for these purposes).

These rules also apply to player names you enter in single-device games and to themes you give to the AI.

5. User content

5.1. Your username, profile photo and the texts you type in games (“User Content”) belong to you. You are responsible for your User Content being lawful and for having the right to share it. 5.2. You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license, solely to provide the App, to display User Content in the App, deliver it to other players, store it, review it for moderation, process it technically (e.g. resize, compress) and pass it to our AI service provider (Anthropic’s Claude model). Only the theme, the picks and the in-game player names of the “Best Five” game are sent to the AI. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for legal retention obligations and pending report reviews. 5.3. We may use automated tools (e.g. image checks and word filters) and human review to detect content that breaks the rules. We may remove or change content that breaks the rules without notice (e.g. remove a photo or reset a username). Where possible, we will tell you why. 5.4. We have no obligation to monitor User Content and are not responsible for other users’ content.

6. Reporting, blocking and moderation

6.1. You can report or block a player who breaks the rules from the menu on their profile. You can also report AI content in the “Best Five” game. 6.2. A player you block cannot send you friend requests or room invites and is removed from your friends. They are not notified that they were blocked. 6.3. Reports are reviewed by our team; we review them within a reasonable time, with a target of 24 hours. Abusive or false reports are also a breach of these Terms. 6.4. If you breach these Terms, we may, depending on the severity: remove content, reset your username, remove your profile photo, temporarily suspend your account, permanently ban your account and block your device. For a suspension, ban or device block, we tell you the reason and, where there is one, the duration. 6.5. To appeal a moderation decision, write to us from the Contact Us screen or at info@outistech.com; a human will review your appeal.

7. AI content

7.1. In the “Best Five” game, sample themes, the evaluation of lineups and comments are generated by artificial intelligence (Anthropic’s Claude model) and are labelled as such in the App. This content is for entertainment; it may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date and does not reflect Outis Tech’s views. Do not make decisions based on AI output. If you see an inappropriate output, please report it. 7.2. Trying to make the AI produce insults, hate speech or demeaning content about real people is prohibited. You may not use AI content commercially outside the App. 7.3. A daily limit on AI use applies per person hosting the game. When the limit is reached, the AI features can be used again the next day.

8. Sayko Points (SP) and cosmetics

8.1. SP are virtual points used within the App. You can obtain SP by leveling up (you earn XP as you play), by watching rewarded ads or through in-app purchase. A daily limit applies to rewarded ads; the current reward and limit are shown in the App. 8.2. SP are not money: they cannot be exchanged for cash, are not paid back by us, earn no interest, and cannot be transferred to another account, sold or used outside the App. SP can only be used for cosmetics and other digital items we offer in the App. When you buy SP, you obtain a limited license to use them; you do not acquire ownership of SP. SP do not expire while your account is open. Store refunds are subject to 8.4. 8.3. We may change the SP prices of items, the contents of SP packs and the conditions for earning SP. Items you have already obtained are not affected. 8.4. Refunds: If an SP pack you bought is refunded by the App Store or Google Play, the refunded amount of SP is deducted from your balance. If you have already spent that SP, your balance may become negative. While your balance is negative, you cannot spend SP; the balance is closed as you earn or buy SP. We reserve the right to remove items bought with refunded SP from your account. 8.5. When your account is deleted, or permanently closed for a serious breach of these Terms, your SP balance and your cosmetics are permanently lost, without prejudice to mandatory consumer law. 8.6. We reserve the right to correct SP or items added to your account by mistake. 8.7. Cosmetics: You can decorate your profile and your in-game card with frames, card backgrounds and sound sets. You can buy cosmetics with SP or earn some as a level reward when you reach certain levels. Sound sets are sounds that play at certain moments in games (e.g. when you win). Cosmetics only change looks and sounds; they give no advantage in the game. 8.8. Today’s Shop and limited drops: Today’s Shop is put together for each user personally and refreshes every day at 00:00 UTC (03:00 Türkiye time). Premium members see one extra item in each tab of the shop. Limited drops are on sale for a set period; after the period ends, items from these drops may show up now and then in Today’s Shop. Items you buy stay yours.

9. In-app purchases and subscriptions

9.1. All purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to that store’s terms. You must be signed in with Google or Apple to make a purchase; guests cannot buy. Prices are shown by the store in your local currency, including applicable taxes. Premium and game mode purchases are tied to your store account (Apple ID / Google account), not to your Sayko! account; a purchase can be active on only one Sayko! account at a time. 9.2. Sayko! Premium subscription:

Offered monthly or yearly. Premium includes: instant access to all packages in all game modes (new packages unlock on their release day, see Early Access in 9.3), play without interstitial and end-of-game ads, animated avatars, and one extra item in each tab of Today’s Shop. Rewarded ads are optional and remain available in Premium. The scope of Premium may grow over time; we will not materially reduce it during a period you have paid for.
The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal fee is charged to your store account within the 24 hours before the period ends.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase.
You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings; the Manage Subscription link in the App takes you there. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period, and you keep Premium until then.
If a free trial or introductory price is offered, its length and the price that applies afterwards are shown on the purchase screen. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
Price changes are notified to you in advance according to the store’s rules, and your consent is requested where required.
If the store cannot charge the renewal, Premium may continue during the grace period the store provides; if the problem is not resolved, the subscription ends.

9.3. Game mode purchases: The first package of every game mode is free: it can be played without limit in games hosted by another user, and free users can host one game with it in each mode. When you buy a game mode, you get access to all packages of that mode for as long as the App and that game mode are offered, and no interstitial ads are shown in that mode (end-of-game ads may still be shown). Packages newly added to a mode are available only to Premium members during a one-week Early Access period after release; after that, they also unlock for users who bought the mode. 9.4. Restore Purchases: You can restore Premium and game mode purchases on another device signed in to the same store account using Restore Purchases in the App. Restoring moves the purchase to the Sayko! account you are signed in to. SP and cosmetics are tied to your Sayko! account; they appear when you sign in with the same Google or Apple account. 9.5. Watching rewarded ads is optional.

10. Refunds and right of withdrawal

10.1. Because purchases are processed by Apple or Google, refund requests must be made to the relevant store:

App Store: https://reportaproblem.apple.com
Google Play: your Google Play order history or https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637

The store decides on your request. On Google Play, for requests made more than 48 hours after purchase, you can also contact us at info@outistech.com. 10.2. Right of withdrawal: In-app purchases are digital content and services whose performance begins, and which are delivered, as soon as the purchase is confirmed.

For consumers residing in Türkiye, under Article 15(1)(ğ) of the Distance Contracts Regulation, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for services performed instantly in an electronic environment and for intangible goods delivered instantly.
Consumers residing in the European Union and the United Kingdom, when confirming the purchase, expressly consent to performance beginning within the withdrawal period and acknowledge that they lose their right of withdrawal (Article 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU and its UK equivalent). This consent is collected in the store’s purchase flow.
In other countries, the similar rules of your country apply.

This does not affect your statutory rights for content that is defective, not supplied or does not work as described. 10.3. When a refund is made, the refunded product and the rights attached to it (Premium, game mode access or SP) are removed from your account; items bought with refunded SP may be removed under 8.4. 10.4. For more information, see the Refunds & Subscriptions FAQ.

11. Ads and notifications

11.1. The App contains ads so that it can be offered for free. Personalized ads are shown only with your permission and never to users under 18 (see the Privacy Policy). Advertisers are responsible for the products and services they advertise; any transaction you make with an advertiser is between you and the advertiser. 11.2. If you allow notifications, you receive game notifications (friend requests, room invites, game-related notifications, new packages and new game modes); you can turn them off in Settings or in your phone’s settings. We send campaign and offer notifications only if you separately opt in; this option is off by default and you can change it at any time in Settings.

12. Intellectual property

12.1. The App, its software, designs, game content, texts, images, sounds, logos and the “Sayko!” name belong to Outis Tech or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms give you no rights other than the license in Section 3. 12.2. The App includes third-party content and open-source components, which are subject to their own licenses. For example, the street-level images in the “Lost Tourist” game belong to Mapillary contributors and are used under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, modified where necessary (cropping, resizing). All licenses are listed in Settings → Licenses. 12.3. Infringement notices: If you believe content infringes your copyright or another right of yours, notify us at info@outistech.com or in the App by choosing the Copyright topic on the Contact Us screen. In your notice, describe the content (and, if possible, the player who shared it), your right, your contact details and a statement that you are acting in good faith. 12.4. We may use suggestions and feedback you send us without any obligation to you.

13. Changes to the service and interruptions

We may improve, change or discontinue the App, game modes, packages and features. The service may be interrupted for maintenance, updates or technical problems. If we need to permanently remove a paid feature or the App as a whole, we will announce it at least 30 days in advance and act in line with applicable law and store rules; for subscription periods running at that time you may request a refund through the store.

14. Termination

14.1. You can delete your account at any time in the App (Settings → Account → Delete My Account). If you cannot access the App, you can also request deletion by email by following the steps on saykogames.com/en/legal/account-deletion/. Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription; you must cancel it in the store separately. 14.2. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously or repeatedly breach these Terms, if required by law, or if needed for the safety of other users. 14.3. Keeping your account: Your registered account is kept until you delete it. If we decide in the future to delete accounts that have not been used for a long time, we will announce it in advance. Guest accounts expire 24 hours after the last use (see 2.2). 14.4. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (e.g. 8.5, 12, 15, 16, 17, 19) remain in effect.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we make no express or implied warranty that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose. This section does not affect your statutory warranty rights under consumer law that cannot be excluded by contract.

16. Limitation of liability and indemnity

16.1. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Outis Tech is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or loss of profits, data or goodwill. Outis Tech’s total liability under these Terms is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim arose or, if you paid nothing, USD 50. 16.2. These limitations do not apply to liability for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, for breach of essential contractual obligations, or to liability that cannot be limited under mandatory consumer protection law. 16.3. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will compensate us for reasonable losses arising from third-party claims caused by your User Content that breaches Sections 4 or 5 or by your unlawful use of the App. This clause does not apply to the extent it is invalid under the consumer law of your country of residence.

17. Service regions and sanctions

The App is not offered in the Russian Federation or the People’s Republic of China (mainland). You may not use the App if you appear on the sanctions lists of the USA or other countries or are located in a country subject to comprehensive sanctions.

18. Governing law and disputes

18.1. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, USA, excluding its conflict of laws rules. Subject to your rights under 18.2, the courts located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have jurisdiction over disputes. 18.2. Your consumer rights are preserved. If you are a consumer, the protections granted by the law of your country of residence that cannot be waived by contract apply regardless of these Terms. You also keep the right to bring proceedings before the courts and consumer dispute bodies of your country of residence, and any proceedings against you will be brought in your country of residence. Consumers residing in Türkiye may apply to Consumer Arbitration Committees within the monetary limits, and to Consumer Courts for disputes above those limits. 18.3. These Terms contain no arbitration clause and no class action waiver. 18.4. For consumers residing in Germany: we are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. 18.5. If a dispute arises, please contact us first from the Contact Us screen or at info@outistech.com; we can resolve most issues quickly.

For material changes we will inform you in the App before they take effect and ask for your acceptance again; you can continue using the App only by accepting the new version. If you do not accept the change, you can stop using the App and delete your account. We publish previous versions on saykogames.com. 20.2. Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. 20.3. Assignment: We may transfer our rights and obligations in a merger, acquisition or reorganization, provided this does not reduce your rights; we will inform you in advance. 20.4.

Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the FAQ and policies they refer to, form the entire agreement between you and us about the use of the App. 20.6. Language: These Terms are offered in several languages. The Turkish text governs for users residing in Türkiye and the English text for all other users; this does not affect more favorable language rules under applicable law. 20.7.
