Version of 6 November 2026. Effective date: 7 November 2026.

• Postal address: Chemin des Bossons 5, c/o Julien Tscherrig, 1081 Montpreveyres, Switzerland
• Swiss business identification number (UID): CHE-135.509.084
• Contact: info@ilygo.ch

2. Purpose and acceptance

These terms govern the use of River, an app for learning No-Limit Texas Hold'em poker on iPhone, iPad and Android (phones and tablets), and of its web pages. By using River, you accept these terms and the privacy policy. If you do not accept them, do not use River.

On the App Store, Apple's standard End User License Agreement (EULA) ("Licensed Application End User License Agreement") applies, supplemented by these terms. On Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service apply in addition to these terms.

3. Audience: 18 and over

River is restricted to people aged 18 and over. At first launch, you must confirm that you are at least 18; without this confirmation, the app gives access to no content.

River is offered only in the countries chosen by ILYGO, on the App Store as on Google Play: Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Belgium and Canada.

4. A learning app, with no real money

• River is an educational app. It is not a gambling game, a casino or a betting service.
• No real stakes: you cannot wager money or anything else of value.
• Fictitious chips: the chips used at the tables have no value. They cannot be bought, sold, exchanged, converted, transferred or withdrawn. The Premium subscription gives access to features; it never provides chips.
• No winnings or prizes: no prize or reward of any value, even symbolic, is awarded, including for the daily puzzle, exams or streaks. Experience points, streaks and the decision index have no monetary value.
• No link with gambling operators: River contains no advertising, no affiliation and no link to any gambling operator.
• No promise of winnings: River teaches you to evaluate your decisions. It does not guarantee any result at poker played for money. Poker involves an element of chance: results with real money vary, and you can lose money. See the Responsible gaming page.
• Prohibited use: you must not use River as an aid during a game played for real money, for example to get advice during a hand in progress.

5. Learning content

• The coach's evaluations, the decision index and the "What if?" mode are calculated by River's engine, against River's simulated opponents. They are learning tools: they do not constitute personalised advice and may not reflect the behaviour of other opponents.
• The content, the rules and the evaluations are the same on iPhone, iPad and Android.
• ILYGO may correct, supplement, change or remove content, including without a new version of the app.
• ILYGO takes care to ensure the accuracy of the content but cannot guarantee that it is free of any error.

6. Account

• An anonymous account is created automatically at first launch with an Internet connection. Learning also works offline.
• To find your progress on another device, you can link your account ("Save my progress") to your Apple ID, with Sign in with Apple on iPhone and iPad or through an Apple page on Android, or to your Google account, on Android only. If this identifier is already linked to another River account, the app offers to merge the two accounts, only after your explicit confirmation.
• As sign-in with Google exists only on Android, an account linked only to Google cannot be found on iPhone or iPad: also link your Apple ID from Android.
• Signing out, after confirmation, erases River's data on the device.
• You are responsible for access to your device, to your Apple ID and to your Google account.
• You can delete your account and your data at any time in Settings (see the privacy policy and the "Delete my account" page).

7. Free offer and Premium

• Free: levels 0 and 1 and their reviews, the daily puzzle, the Responsible gaming module, one sample session for each quick drill topic, and a limited number of hands per day in free play and of "What if?" analyses per day.
• Premium: levels 2 and 3 and further levels when they are published, free play and the "What if?" mode without a daily limit, quick drills, detailed analysis of decisions, all reviews, the toughest table and, when available, the scenario library and the session review.
• The offers are the same on all platforms. The limits of the free offer and the content of each offer are shown in the app and may change. What is included is presented before any purchase.

8. Subscriptions

• Sold by Apple or by Google: Premium is sold as an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or annual, through in-app purchase: on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, on Google Play for Android. Payment and billing are handled by the store where you buy; its terms applicable to purchases also apply.
• One subscription for all your devices: Premium access applies on all the devices linked to your River account, whichever store the purchase was made in. The subscription is managed, cancelled and restored in the store where it was purchased. On iPhone and iPad, no purchase is offered while a subscription purchased on Google Play is active.
• Price: the price is shown in the app and by the store, in your currency, before the purchase. The applicable price is the one shown at the time of purchase or renewal. Reference prices in Switzerland: CHF 5.95 per month or CHF 35.00 per year, including Swiss VAT at 8.1%. Apple and Google collect and remit VAT in the countries where they are liable for it.
• Free trial: a 7-day free trial may be offered on the annual subscription as an introductory offer, subject to the store's eligibility rules. At the end of the trial, the subscription automatically becomes paid unless cancelled within the period set by the store.
• Renewal: the subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the price then in force, unless cancelled within the period set by the store.
• Management and cancellation: from Settings → Subscription → "Manage Subscription", which opens Apple's subscription management on iPhone and iPad and the Google Play subscriptions page on Android, or directly in your Apple account settings or in Google Play. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period; Premium access remains active until then.
• Deleting the app or your River account does not cancel the subscription.
• Refunds: for a purchase on the App Store, refunds are decided by Apple under its terms and any request must be addressed to Apple. For a purchase on Google Play, the request must be addressed to Google, under the Google Play terms; if Google asks you to contact the developer, write to info@ilygo.ch: ILYGO will review your request. A refund or revocation ends the Premium access linked to the purchase concerned.
• Restore: "Restore Purchases" is available on the offer screen and in Settings → Subscription. Use the same Apple ID or the same Google account as for the purchase.
• Pending payment: on Google Play, a purchase whose payment is pending is shown as such; Premium access starts when Google confirms the payment.
• Billing problem and expiry: during the grace period granted by the store in the event of a billing failure, Premium access is maintained. On Google Play, a subscription put on hold by Google after that period, or paused, gives no access to Premium until it resumes. When the subscription expires, Premium access ends; your progress is kept and the free offer remains available.
• No other purchases: River sells no chips, no virtual currency and no consumable purchases.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• circumvent the limits of the free offer or the subscription system;
• access River's servers other than through the app, or disrupt their operation (automated requests, overload, intrusion attempts);
• extract, copy or redistribute River's content;
• use River as an aid during a game played for real money;
• use River if you are under 18.

In the event of a serious breach, ILYGO may suspend access to River's online services for the account concerned.

10. Intellectual property

River, its content (lessons, exercises, puzzles, texts, illustrations), its game engine and its brand belong to ILYGO or its licensors. ILYGO grants you a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable licence to use River for private, non-commercial purposes, for as long as these terms apply. You may share your daily puzzle result using your device's share function.

11. Availability

• The learning and game features work without a network. A connection is required to create an account or link it to Apple or Google, make a purchase, restore purchases, display puzzle statistics and update content.
• ILYGO endeavours to ensure the availability of the online services, without guaranteeing uninterrupted operation. Interruptions for maintenance are possible.
• ILYGO may develop River (features, content) to improve it.

12. Liability

• ILYGO is liable for damage in accordance with applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, ILYGO's liability for slight negligence is excluded. Liability for intent or gross negligence, as well as mandatory consumer rights, are reserved.
• ILYGO is not liable for the decisions you make in games played for real money, nor for any resulting losses.

13. Relationship with Apple and Google

River is distributed through Apple's App Store and through Google Play. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms and are not responsible for River or its support, subject to their own terms. Questions about River should be addressed to ILYGO; questions about payment and refunds should be addressed to the store where the purchase was made (section 8).

14. Duration and end of use

These terms apply for as long as you use River. You can stop using it at any time and delete your account in the app. An ongoing subscription is cancelled in the store where it was purchased (section 8).

15. Changes

ILYGO may change these terms. The new version is published on this page with its date. In the event of a significant change, ILYGO will inform you appropriately, for example in the app.

16. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Swiss law. The place of jurisdiction is Montpreveyres (VD), the registered office of ILYGO Sàrl. If you are a consumer, the mandatory provisions and places of jurisdiction provided by the law of your State of habitual residence are reserved.
