Terms of Use

1.The service

In Mesa 11 you play the card game Buraco online, two against two. If a seat is empty after 10 seconds, a computer player takes it. You can also practise against the computer. You choose a level (Beginner table or Master table) and a mode (Open, Closed or Strict).

2.Age and account

• You must be 13 or older.
• You need an account with an email address, a username and a password to play.
• Keep your password secret. You are responsible for what is done with your account.

3.Usernames

Your username is visible to other players – at the table and, if you have Premium, in the ranking. It must not:

• be offensive, insulting, threatening, sexual or racist,
• pretend to be someone else, such as another player or Spitakolus,
• contain personal data, advertising or links.

We may change or remove a username that breaks these rules.

4.Fair play

• Play to win with your own team – do not cooperate with your opponents or deliberately sabotage your partner.
• Do not cheat: no programs, bots or tools that play for you or give you an advantage.
• Do not exploit bugs. If you find one, please tell us.
• Do not try to access other people’s accounts, disrupt the game server or get around the ads or the time-out.

5.If you leave a game

If you leave an online game in progress – or lose your connection for more than two minutes – a computer player takes your seat. You then have to wait 5 minutes before you can start your next game, and the game you left gives you 0 ranking points. This applies to everyone, including Premium players, so that games are not spoiled for the others. At a friends table there is no waiting time: you can take your seat back as long as the game is going on.

6.Ads and Premium

• Mesa 11 is free and shows ads: a banner ad and a full-screen ad after each game.
• Premium removes all ads and gives you a place in the ranking. It gives no advantage in the game itself – the rules, the tables and the wait are the same for everyone.
• Premium is a subscription bought through Google Play or the App Store, and it renews automatically until you cancel it there. The price is shown in the store before you buy. Payment, receipts, cancellation and refunds are handled by the store under its own terms.

7.The ranking

• The ranking is a monthly leaderboard (it starts over on the 1st of every month) and an all-time leaderboard.
• Every online game gives ranking points: a win 3 points, a loss 1 point and leaving a game 0 points. Practice games against the computer do not count. Games at friends tables only count if each team had at least one real player when the game started. On equal points, the player with the most wins goes first.
• Only Premium players are listed in the ranking and can view it. Other Premium players can see your username, points, wins and number of games there.
• Your online games count even before you have Premium. When you get Premium you show up right away with the month’s points in the monthly leaderboard and with all your points – including those from before you had Premium – in the all-time leaderboard. If your Premium ends you drop out of the ranking, but your points are kept until you delete your account.

8.No real money

Mesa 11 is not gambling. You do not play for real money and cannot win money or prizes. Points, ranking points and statistics in the game have no value outside the game.

9.Changes to the service

We keep developing the game and may change, add or remove features, pause the service or end it. If we change these terms we update the date at the top, and for bigger changes we tell you in the app.

10.Suspension

If you break these terms – for example by cheating, abusing the service or using an offensive username – we may warn you, suspend you for a period or delete your account.

11.Liability

We do our best to keep the game working, but we cannot promise that it will always be available or free of errors. These terms do not limit your statutory rights as a consumer.

12.Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time in the app (profile menu → Delete account), on the web or by emailing support@spitakolus.com.

13.Law and contact

These terms are governed by Swedish law. As a consumer you keep the protection given to you by the mandatory law of your country. Questions? Email support@spitakolus.com.
