Some of No Six Five's games have specific age restrictions according to certain guidelines that users should keep in mind. According to our Terms of Service, users who have not yet reached the legal age of majority in their country of residence must obtain approval from their legal guardian before registering a Game Profile.
It is important to note that age recommendations are provided in the Store description when downloading any No Six Five game from platforms such as Google Play Store or Apple App Store. These ratings are similar to the ones classified by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) movie (film) ratings such as G, PG, PG-13, or R in the USA.
For more information on how these categories are defined in mobile games, we recommend visiting "Apps & Games content ratings on Google Play" page for Android users, the "Age Ratings" page for iOS users, and the "Maturity Ratings" for Amazon Appstore. Make note that Microsoft Store uses IARC generic rating system.

One of the features of No Six Five's games is that they are all available to download for free, with optional in-app purchases. It's important to note that in-app purchases are never required to play the game, and players can enjoy the full experience without spending any money. However, if players choose to make in-app purchases, they can enhance certain gameplay elements and unlock new features.
The prices of in-app purchases vary depending on the game and the items or features being purchased. In the United States app stores, for example, in-app purchases can range from $0.99 to $99.99 (excluding taxes). It's important to note that in-app purchases are always clearly labeled as such and are paid for with real money.
In-app purchases are easily accessible "in game", meaning that players can make a purchase within the game itself. However, it's important to ensure that payment information, such as credit card details, is not added to a child's device. Without payment information, no purchases can be made, ensuring that kids cannot accidentally or intentionally make purchases without parental consent.
If parents do decide to make purchases for their child and add payment information to the device, it's important to adjust password protection settings or disable in-app purchases entirely afterward to prevent unauthorized purchases.
It's also important to note that in-app purchase settings may differ depending on the type of device being used. Therefore, it's important to follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer to ensure that in-app purchases are properly managed and controlled.
Guidelines for Android devices, like Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Asus Zenfone, OnePlus, HTC Desire, Huawei Mate, Google Nexus, Xiaomi Redmi, Motorola Edge, and others
Guidelines for Apple iOS devices, like the iPhone or iPad
Guidelines for Fire OS/Android devices, like Amazon Fire Phone, Amazon Fire HD, and Amazon Kindle Fire
Guidelines for Windows and Microsoft Surface models
No Six Five does not handle payments for in-app purchases nor does it have access to your credit card information. Instead, the actual payment transactions are managed and processed by either the App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store, or Microsoft Store depending on the mobile device you're using.
Once the purchase is complete, transaction receipts are automatically generated and sent to you via email by either Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, or Microsoft. In some cases, if you've made multiple purchases, the receipts may be bundled together, and it might take a few days before you receive them. However, it's important to keep in mind that the post-purchase processes are subject to change by the App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store, or Microsoft Store.
No Six Five does not possess any of your payment details - all payment procedures are carried out by Apple's App Store, Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, Samsung Galaxy Store, or Microsoft Store via your email address associated with that account. Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, or Microsoft will send you receipts for these transactions via email after every purchase. Any post-purchase procedures are governed by Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and Microsoft and are subject to modification by them.
Payment transactions are processed instantly and reflected in your game immediately. However, on rare occasions, it may take up to 48 hours for transactions to go through Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, or Microsoft and then be visible in your game. In such cases, it is advisable to restart the app by fully closing it and reopening it, as this can establish a new connection to the servers and prompt the in-app currency or items to appear.
In the unlikely event that 48 hours have passed and you still do not see any changes, please contact Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, or Microsoft directly for further assistance. They will be able to provide you with more detailed information regarding the status of your payment transaction and guide you through any necessary steps to resolve the issue.
