Terms of use
Last updated 8 October 2026
Draft: this text is still being checked and is not yet in force.
In short
- Thought Zoo is a game for children, played with a grown-up's permission. The Farm is free; other adventures can be bought.
- Buying goes through the App Store or Google Play, under their rules for payments, refunds and subscriptions.
- Sammy's answers come from AI and are checked against facts about each animal, but she can be wrong.
1. About these terms
These terms are between you and [name or company, address, OIB], Croatia ("we"), for Thought Zoo on the web (thoughtzoo.app and play.thoughtzoo.app) and in the apps for iPad, iPhone and Android. By playing, or letting a child play, you accept them. If you are a child, ask a grown-up to read them with you.
2. Who may play
Thought Zoo is made for children aged 6 to 12. A parent or guardian decides whether a child plays, and is responsible for anything bought. Settings and buying sit behind a parental gate.
3. Playing
The game needs the internet: each question goes to our server, which works out Sammy's answer. We keep the game running as well as we can, but it may sometimes be unavailable, for example during maintenance. Progress is kept on the device (section 3 of the privacy policy); deleting the app or the browser's data deletes it.
4. Sammy's answers
Sammy's answers and clues are worked out by AI from facts we wrote for each animal. We test them carefully, but an answer can occasionally be wrong or unclear. Thought Zoo is a game for fun and practice in asking questions, not a reference book.
5. Buying
- The Farm is free. Other adventures, the Zoo bundle and subscriptions can be bought in the app, through the App Store or Google Play, which handle payment, refunds and cancelling under their own terms.
- A subscription renews by itself until it is cancelled in the store's settings, at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Prices are shown before buying.
- What you buy is a licence to play that content, on the devices your store account allows (Family Sharing where the store offers it). "Restore purchases" in Grown-ups, Settings brings it back after reinstalling.
- An adventure once bought stays yours for as long as the game is offered. Your rights as a consumer under Croatian and EU law aren't affected by these terms.
6. What we ask of you
Please use Thought Zoo as a game: don't try to break, overload or copy it, get around the parental gate or purchases, or use it to send anything harmful.
7. Ours, and yours
The game, Sammy, the pictures, voices and texts belong to us or to those who licensed them to us. You may play, but not copy, sell or reuse them. Questions you ask stay yours; you allow us to process them to play the game, as the privacy policy describes.
8. Liability
We provide Thought Zoo with care, as it is. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect damage or for losing progress kept on a device. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for intent or gross negligence, or your rights as a consumer.
9. Changes and ending
We may change these terms, for example when new features arrive; the date above shows the latest version, and important changes are announced in the game's grown-ups' pages before they apply. You may stop playing at any time by deleting the app. We may end the game for everyone with reasonable notice; bought subscriptions then stop renewing.
10. Law and contact
Croatian law applies, without taking away the protection of the law of the country you live in as a consumer. Disputes go to the competent court in [city], unless the law gives you another. Questions: hello@thoughtzoo.app.
