Terms of Service
Last updated: October 8, 2026
The short version
- ACTimals is an ACT prep game for students 13 and older. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should read these terms with you.
- Be kind: no offensive names, no harassment, no cheating. We remove names that break the rules and can close accounts that keep doing it.
- ACTimals Plus is billed by Apple, renews automatically until you cancel, and can be cancelled any time in your iPhone's Settings.
- Gems, cards, chests and XP are game items with no cash value.
- ACTimals helps you practice, but nobody can promise a particular ACT score.
Who we are and these terms
ACTimals is run by Johnson Ecommerce LLC ("we", "us"). These terms cover the ACTimals iPhone app and the website at actimals.gamifiedstudy.com. By using ACTimals you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect and why. If you don't agree, please don't use ACTimals.
If you got ACTimals from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the app. If the two ever disagree about the app, Apple's agreement wins.
Who can use ACTimals
- You must be at least 13 years old. ACTimals is not meant for children under 13 (see the Privacy Policy's Children's privacy section).
- If you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission, and they agree to these terms for you, including for any purchase made on your account.
Your account
You can play as a guest, or create a free profile with email, Google or Apple so your progress is saved and works on every device. Keep your login private, and tell us if you think someone else is using your account. One account per person. You can delete your account any time on the Profile tab ("Delete profile and start over").
Community rules
Other players see the name you choose on leaderboards, leagues and friends lists. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive players. You agree not to:
- use a name that is offensive, hateful, sexual, violent or bullying, or that pretends to be someone else;
- harass, threaten or bully other players;
- put anyone's personal information, including your own, in your name;
- cheat: use bots, scripts, exploits or extra accounts to get XP, gems, cards or league places.
Our name filter blocks many bad names automatically. You can report or block any player by tapping them. We review reports promptly, change names that break these rules to "Study Buddy", and may suspend or close the accounts of players who break them.
The practice questions
ACTimals' practice questions, explanations and lessons are written for ACTimals. They are not official ACT test questions. ACT® is a registered trademark of ACT, Inc., which is not affiliated with ACTimals and does not endorse it.
ACTimals is a study tool. Your ACT score depends on many things, so we can't promise or guarantee any particular score or result. Study plans, goals and tips in the app are guidance, not a promise.
Game items
XP, gems, hearts, chests, critter cards, streaks, Streak Freezes and league places are part of the game. They have no cash value, can't be exchanged for money, and can't be sold or transferred outside ACTimals. We may change how they work to keep the game fair and fun. They are deleted with your account.
ACTimals Plus
- What you get. The perks listed on the ACTimals Plus screen in the app, such as unlimited hearts and timed sections and the members-only Plus Club critters. Plus never gives extra XP, so leagues stay fair.
- Billing. In the iPhone app, Plus is bought through Apple and charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends. Prices are shown before you buy.
- Auto-renewal. Plus renews automatically at the same price for the same period (monthly or yearly) unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your Apple ID is charged within the 24 hours before each renewal.
- Cancelling. Cancel any time in your iPhone's Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. You keep Plus until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting your ACTimals profile does not cancel the subscription.
- Free trials. If a free trial is offered, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription.
- Refunds. Apple handles payments and refunds for App Store purchases. To ask for a refund, use reportaproblem.apple.com.
- On the website. Plus bought in the app also works on the website when you log in with the same profile.
- Cards you keep. Plus Club critters you collected stay in your collection if your Plus ends.
Creator codes and the Creator Program
If you enter a creator's code or open ACTimals through a creator's link, that creator may earn a commission if you buy ACTimals Plus. It doesn't change your price. Creators who join our Creator Program agree to its own program terms at actimals.gamifiedstudy.com/affiliates.
Reminders
If you turn on study reminders, your iPhone schedules them on the device. They are only about studying, never ads, and you can turn them off on the Profile tab or in Settings.
Our content
ACTimals, including its questions, explanations, critters, artwork, names and code, belongs to Johnson Ecommerce LLC. We give you a personal, non-commercial right to use ACTimals for your own studying. Please don't copy, sell, scrape or republish our questions or art, or try to break or reverse engineer the app.
Changes and ending
We keep improving ACTimals, so features can change or be removed. We may change these terms. If a change is important, we'll tell you in the app or on this page before it applies, and the date at the top will change. You can stop using ACTimals and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.
Disclaimers and limits
ACTimals is provided "as is". We work hard to keep it accurate and running, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. To the fullest extent the law allows, Johnson Ecommerce LLC is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim about ACTimals is limited to the amount you paid for ACTimals in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection law.
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state where Johnson Ecommerce LLC is registered. If a part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
