RACE FOR OHM™

Terms of Use and License

Effective 22 September 2026

The short version

You get a personal license to play the game. You don't own the game, and buying it doesn't buy future updates, online services or support.
We may change, stop selling, stop hosting or shut down any part of the game, including online rooms and this website, at any time. We have no duty to keep them running.
The game is provided “as is”. The map, roads, mileage and chargers are fictional. Never use them for real travel.
We may transfer the game and these terms to someone else, for example if we sell the game or the business.

The full terms below are what apply; the short version is only a guide.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

Race for Ohm (the “Game”) is published by Holman Lane Publishing LLC, an Oregon limited liability company (“we”, “us”, “our”). These terms apply to every version of the Game: the website, the itch.io edition, the Apple App Store and Google Play apps, and the optional online rooms (together, the “Services”). By downloading, installing, buying or playing the Game you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.

2. Your license

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and play the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment, on devices you own or control, and, for store versions, as the applicable store’s rules allow. The Game is licensed, not sold. We and our licensors keep all rights not expressly granted to you.

You may not: copy, sell, rent, sublicense or redistribute the Game; modify, reverse engineer or decompile it except where the law expressly permits despite this restriction; remove proprietary notices; use the Game or its content to build a competing product; or use the Services to harass anyone, interfere with them, overload them or get around their security or rate limits.

3. What your purchase includes and what it does not

A purchase or download gives you a license to the version of the Game available at that time. Unless we say otherwise in writing, it does not include, and you are not entitled to:

updates, bug fixes, new content or new features;
continued access to online rooms, this website or any other hosted service;
continued availability of the Game in any app store or on any website, including the ability to download it again;
compatibility with future devices, operating systems or browsers; or
customer support.

We may provide any of these at our discretion. Doing so does not create an obligation to keep providing them.

4. Changes, suspension and discontinuation

We may change, suspend or permanently discontinue the Game, any version or feature of it (including online rooms), any website or server that supports it, and any store listing, at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. We may give notice in the Game or on our website, but are not required to. We are not liable to you or anyone else for any change, suspension or discontinuation, or for any lost game progress, saves, records or scores.

The solo and one-device modes of the installed apps and the itch.io edition run on your device and do not need our servers. They may keep working after online services end, but we do not promise they will, including after changes to your device, operating system, browser or the store.

Online rooms are an optional, free, best-effort feature. Rooms expire and are deleted 24 hours after the last move. A room may be interrupted or lost at any time, and we do not restore games in progress.

5. Purchases and refunds

Purchases made through the Apple App Store, Google Play or itch.io are processed by that store and are subject to its terms and refund policies. We do not handle payments or hold your payment details. Except where the store’s policies or applicable law require otherwise, amounts paid are non-refundable, including if the Game, a feature or a Service is later changed or discontinued.

6. Fictional content; not for navigation

The Game is a strategy game. Place names and locations come from public U.S. Census Bureau data, but the road network, road mileage, charging stations, battery ranges and routes are fictional and generated for play. They do not describe real roads, real vehicles, real charging networks or real driving conditions. Do not rely on anything in the Game to plan real travel, choose a vehicle or estimate driving range. Do not play while driving. No automaker, charging network or government agency sponsors or endorses the Game.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Game and the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. We disclaim all warranties and conditions, express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Game or Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with your device or available at any particular time or for any particular period.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Holman Lane Publishing LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, successors and assigns will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, game progress, profits, revenue or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Game, the Services or these terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Game, the Services or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Game in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) US$10.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limits, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, or takes away rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract.

9. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Holman Lane Publishing LLC and its successors and assigns from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your misuse of the Game or Services or your breach of these terms.

10. Transfer of the Game and these terms

We may assign or transfer these terms, the Game, the Services and any related rights and obligations, in whole or in part, without your consent, including to a buyer of the Game or of our business, a successor, or an affiliate. After a transfer, the new owner is responsible for the obligations it takes on, and we are released from obligations arising after the transfer. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these terms.

11. Ending the license

You may stop using the Game at any time by deleting it. Your license ends automatically if you breach these terms, and we may suspend or end your access to the Services at any time. Sections 3 to 13 continue to apply after your license ends.

12. Apple App Store and Google Play

If you got the Game from the Apple App Store:

These terms are between you and Holman Lane Publishing LLC only, not Apple Inc. (“Apple”). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Game and its content.
Your license is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions. The Game may also be used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Game.
If the Game fails to conform to any warranty that cannot be disclaimed, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the Game. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses from a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent they cannot be disclaimed under these terms.
We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the Game or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the Game fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
If a third party claims that the Game or your possession and use of it infringes that party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms, such as your wireless data service agreement, when using the Game.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

If you got the Game from Google Play or itch.io, you also agree to that store’s terms. Where they conflict with these terms regarding the store’s own services, the store’s terms apply. Neither Google nor itch.io is responsible for the Game.

13. Law, disputes and general terms

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon and applicable federal law of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before bringing any claim, you agree to contact us and try in good faith to resolve it informally for at least 30 days. Subject to that, and to any right you have to bring a claim in small-claims court or in your home courts under consumer law you cannot waive, disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Oregon.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game. We may update these terms. The version posted with the Game or on our website applies from its effective date, and continuing to play after an update means you accept it. Changes do not apply retroactively to disputes that arose before the change.
