TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated 16 September 2026
1. Who we are
TANTEI is an online detective investigation game owned and operated by Sabir Elawad (“we”, “us”), a sole proprietor based in Canada, available at tankie.app. When you use TANTEI, you are contracting with Sabir Elawad.
Seller of record: Sabir Elawad (sole proprietor), Canada. Contact: sabirelawad777+tantei@gmail.com.
2. Your account
You need an account to save progress, join rooms and appear on the leaderboard. Keep your credentials private; you are responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to sign up.
3. Free play and the unlock
The first two case files are free. A single one-time payment of USD $20 unlocks every remaining case file in the archive, including cases added later, for the lifetime of the service. There is no subscription and no purchasable in-game advantage.
4. Payments
Orders are handled by our reseller Paddle.com Market Ltd, the merchant of record. Paddle collects payment, charges any applicable sales tax or VAT, and issues your receipt. Their terms apply to the transaction itself.
5. Acceptable use
Do not cheat, automate play, resell access, publish case solutions, harass other players, or attempt to disrupt or reverse engineer the service. We may suspend accounts that do.
6. Content
All cases, artwork, text and audio in TANTEI are fictional works owned by us. You get a personal, non-transferable licence to play them, not to redistribute them.
7. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the game online but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. We may add, change or retire cases and features. If we materially change these terms, we will update the date above.
8. Liability
The service is provided as is. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
