Terms of Use
Last updated: 8 October 2026
These terms apply to the iOS game 5 Second Rule (on the App Store as 5 Second Rule: Party questions, the "app"). By downloading or using the app you agree to them.
Licence
You get a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as allowed by the App Store rules. You may not resell, copy, modify or reverse-engineer the app or its card packs. This licence also includes Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
What the app is
A party game for a group in the same room, played on one iPhone passed between 2 to 10 teams. A card appears, and the team has five seconds to name three things that fit. The group decides together whether an answer counts; the examples on screen are suggestions, not the only right answers. It is entertainment.
Free and paid content
- Free: the game itself and the Classic pack.
- Card packs: Food & Drinks, Family, Movies & Magic, Party, Sports, Travel and Celebrations. Each is a one-time purchase and stays unlocked for good.
- 18+ packs, for adults only, each a one-time purchase: Spicy 18+ (sex, dating and relationships), No Filter 18+ (secrets, confessions and teasing other players), Last Call 18+ (drinking and parties), Dirty Minds 18+ (innocent questions with suggestive double meanings) and Dark Humor 18+ (death, zombies and horror films). They contain adult themes and frank language, but no graphic sexual descriptions or nudity. By confirming you are 18 or older in the app you confirm that you, and the people you play them with, are adults.
- Collection 1: three one-time bundles that unlock only the packs available in the app on the day of purchase. Collection 1: All Packs (shown in the app as All packs) unlocks all 12 paid packs; Collection 1: Regular Packs unlocks the 7 card packs listed above; Collection 1: 18+ Packs unlocks the 5 18+ packs. Packs released later are not included: they are sold separately and come with the weekly subscription.
- All Packs Weekly (shown in the app as One week): an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks every pack in the app, including new ones, for as long as it is active.
The game and the Classic pack will stay free. Only one phone is needed: the whole group plays the packs unlocked on that phone.
Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may differ by country.
Subscription
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- The subscription renews automatically every week at the same price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends.
- You can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Deleting the app does not cancel it.
- If a free trial is offered, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under its own rules: reportaproblem.apple.com.
To get your purchases back on a new phone signed in with the same Apple Account, tap Restore purchases on the Packs screen or in Settings.
Age rating
The app is rated 18+ on the App Store. It is meant only for players aged 18 and over. Please keep it out of games with younger players.
Your data
The app has no server and no accounts, and the developer keeps no copy of anything you enter. Team names, settings and game results live only on your phone, so the developer cannot restore them if they are lost. Your purchases are known to Apple and RevenueCat. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
Playing fair
You are responsible for the team names you type and for what you share from the game. Cards are written to be fun for a mixed group; skip any card you'd rather not play.
Availability and changes
The app is provided "as is". Features and card packs may change. Support for older iOS versions may end over time.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data or any argument at the table about whether an answer counts. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the new terms.
