You do not receive any other license. The DEVELOPER retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the ASG (incl. copyrights, title, patents, proprietary rights, source code, machine code, …).
Licensee may not: (i) modify or create any derivative works of the ASG; (ii) decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the ASG, or (b) defeat, bypass, or otherwise circumvent any software protection mechanisms in the ASG (except to the extent applicable laws specifically prohibit such restriction); (iii) attempt to access or use the additional feature(s) provided by the subscription if the licensee has not paid the applicable license fee; (iv) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer the ASG; (v) use the ASG in a timesharing or service bureau arrangement; or (vi) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the ASG.

There is no license fee for the free version. You get up to 6 free games daily. The DEVELOPER in his sole discretion may change this offer anytime.
You may also purchase an auto-renewing subscription through an In-App purchase to enjoy this game without any breaks. This subscription is an auto-renewable. Your subscription will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Current subscription may not be cancelled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your iTunes Account Settings after purchase.
During the active subscription period the ASG needs to connect regularly to iTunes to check if the subscription is still active. If it fails to do this for 200 games, you can only play up to 6 games per day (as long as an active subscription has not been confirmed again). The end of your subscription period is not effected by this.

Neither your playing partners, nor the ASG, nor the DEVELOPER have any legal obligations in payment of the listed debt based on the balance statements in this ASG. The amount of money you may see in the balance statements is just play money.
The ASG can be personalized easily. You may change your players' profile picture and design your own playing cards. You can also pick your own player's name. It is up to you to use your real name or a fictional one. The same applies to the players' profile pictures.
You are solely responsible for the content that others receive.
