Conditions d'utilisation

Who can play

You must be 15 or older to have an account. Buying anything with real money, and turning on sensitive pictures, are for people who are 18 or older and adults where they live.

Signing up, you confirm you are 15 or older. The first time you buy or turn on sensitive pictures, you tick a box saying you are 18 or older. We do not check ages: we take your word for it. Lying about your age, or getting around an age limit, breaks these rules. If you think an account belongs to someone too young, write to us.

Your account

Playing takes an account: an email address, a name and a password, with the email confirmed before you get in, or your Google account where the game offers it.

Keep your password to yourself, and tell us the same day if you think someone else got in. We will not hold you responsible for what someone did in your account without your fault.

One account per player. You cannot share, sell, buy or hand over an account.

Play fair

No bots, no scripts, no scraping the catalogue, no picking at the API to get more than the game gives you. No accounts made in bulk to farm free packs. No rigging the market, no selling cards, coins or accounts for real money, no payment fraud. Found a bug? Tell us, don't milk it.

No harassing other players, no pretending to be someone else. You answer other players with emotes, on the market; there is no messaging.

Every name other players can see, your player name and your album names, is checked automatically for slurs and insults. We can refuse, rename or take down a name that gets through. If you think we got it wrong, write to us and one of us looks at it.

When rules are broken

Cheating, fraud, milking a bug, selling outside the game, harassment, or getting around a limit we set can get you warned, restricted, suspended or banned, and we can undo what it brought you. A serious case gets an immediate ban. We tell you why, unless telling you would help someone cheat or break the law.

Paying does not put you above these rules. A justified ban gives you no refund just because you were banned, but it does not take away the rights the law gives you either. A permanent ban stops your membership from renewing.

Think we made a mistake? Write to us: a person reads it, and if we were wrong, we put back what you lost.

Cards and packs

Every card is a real Wikipedia article, and its tier comes from how much that article is read: a card climbs and falls with the news. What you hold is the right to use a card inside the game, not the article, the picture or any right on them.

A pack holds random cards: what each pack holds is shown in the game. A pack never promises a given article, a card you do not have yet, or a card that will keep its content.

Cards change. We can change a card's picture, text, look or tier, or take a card out of the game, when Wikipedia changes, when someone complains about it with good reason, when the law asks for it, to fix a mistake, or to keep the game balanced. We try not to take cards away.

Coins and the market

Coins buy packs. You get them by playing (rewards, achievements, the membership), from a friend who joined through your link, and by buying them.

Free basic packs come back on a timer, up to the number the app shows you. The membership makes them come twice as fast and doubles the number you can hold.

On the market you list a card you own for a price in coins, change that price later, or take the listing down. Buying spends the coins at once: the card goes to the buyer and the coins to the seller. We can take down a listing that breaks these rules, and undo a sale that came from a bug, fraud or an account that was not the seller's to use.

Cards, coins and packs are not money. They never turn back into money or a prize, and they cannot be sold or traded outside the game. This never stops a refund the law gives you.

Buying

The shop shows the price in euros, taxes included, what you get and, for the membership, what it costs each period and when it renews, before you pay. At checkout our payment provider can also show that price in your local currency, converted at the rate and fee it applies, and you pay in the currency you choose: paying in another currency, the amount can change each period with the exchange rate. Your bank may add its own conversion fee.

Our payment provider handles the card: we never see the card number and never store it. Tick the box to keep it there for your next purchase, and remove it at any checkout. You get an email confirming the order, and what you buy lands in your account right away. If it does not, or arrives wrong, write to us and we fix it.

The membership

The membership renews by itself, every month or every year, until you cancel it.

What it adds is written in the shop: faster free packs and room for more, a 67 pack when you join, and 670 coins each week, the first ones as soon as you join. Claim your weekly coins while the membership runs.

Cancel it in the shop, with Cancel membership: your perks keep running until the period you paid for ends, then they stop on their own. We tell you before a price change applies at a renewal, so you can cancel first. What you paid for, you keep until the end of the period.

Changing your mind

Buying online in the EU, you usually have 14 days to change your mind, and you can tell us by email: "I withdraw from my purchase of …", with the date and your account email. Stopping the renewal of a membership is not the same thing as withdrawing from it.

Coins and refills are different: they land in your account right away. Before you pay, the checkout asks you to tick a box saying you want them right away and you accept that you then lose those 14 days, and the receipt we email you repeats it. Once they have arrived, you cannot change your mind about them or get your money back for it. A purchase made without that box keeps its 14 days.

A membership you start right away can still be withdrawn from within the 14 days; we may then keep the share of the period you already used. A refund goes back to the way you paid, within 14 days of your message.

If something arrived broken, if you were charged twice, or if you paid and got nothing, write to us and we fix it. There is no satisfaction guarantee beyond that, and nothing here takes away the rights the law gives you.

Wikimedia

6.7% of what paid memberships bring in, after taxes, refunds and payment fees, goes to the Wikimedia Foundation, every quarter. Coins and refills do not count. We give it ourselves: your purchase is not a donation, and the Wikimedia Foundation does not endorse the game.

The game keeps changing

The game is young: features arrive, change and leave. We can rebalance rewards, prices and tiers, and we can stop a feature or a product. A change to something you already paid for never costs you extra, and if it makes it clearly worse, we tell you beforehand and you can end it and get back what the law gives you.

We can change these rules for a real reason: the game changed, the law changed, or security asks for it. A change that matters is told to you before it applies, and when the law asks for your agreement, we ask for it.

If the game ever closes, we tell you first, stop every payment and sort out what you paid for as the law asks.

Leaving

Delete account in Settings removes your account and everything in it, your cards, your coins, your listings, your albums, and stops any renewal. It cannot be undone. The records the law makes us keep, like invoices, stay, and backups fade out as the Confidentialité says. Deleting your account does not ask for a refund: write to us for that.

Availability and responsibility

We run the game with care, but it can be down, and we can take it down to fix things. Wikipedia can be wrong, out of date or shocking, and nothing in a card is advice.

What other players do is on them. We step in when they break these rules, and we answer for what we do ourselves.

Nothing in these rules limits what the law gives you as a consumer.

Which law, which court

Finnish law applies to these rules, and the consumer law of the country you live in applies too, wherever it protects you more.

A problem we cannot settle between us can go to the Finnish consumer authorities, named in the Mentions légales, or to the courts: the district court of Helsinki, or a court nearer to you when the law lets you.
