Terms of Use for the Rille app

Last updated: 30 August 2026

The short version. Rille is a party game. Play it privately as often as you like, bought content included. What you may not do: resell the music or the playlists, take the app apart to get at its content, or perform it in public. And we do not promise a game without faults — only that we take the ones you find seriously.

Who provides the app

These terms cover the Rille app in every edition, on Android and on later editions for other systems. For the website extra-level-quizzes.com, see the Impressum (legal notice, in German). How your data is handled is set out in the privacy notice for Rille, which forms part of these terms.

What Rille is

A music guessing game: you hear a clip, place it on a timeline, and name the title and artist. There are four ways to play — Timeline, Klicks, Guess the year, and Solo.

Important for everything below: Rille does not supply the music. What plays are the short previews Apple makes available through its public search interface. Rille neither stores nor sells them. What you can buy is a curated and checked song list with its years — not the music on it.

Who may use it

Anyone aged 16 or over may use the app on their own account. Younger players are expressly welcome at the table — the game is built for that — but purchases and agreement to these terms belong to a parent or guardian.

What you may do with the game

You get a simple, non-transferable right to use Rille on your devices for private play. That expressly includes playing with friends and family, as often as you like.

It does not include:

• passing on, renting, selling or sub-licensing the app or bought content;
• performing it in public — a games night in a bar, at an event, or on a stream. That needs music rights of your own, which we cannot obtain for you. Ask us if you are planning something like it;
• reverse-engineering or decrypting the app, or extracting its data to get at the playlists;
• querying the app's interfaces automatically, or otherwise using them to build a dataset.

Your own playlists

What you put together is yours. It lives on your device, and we claim no rights in it.

When you import a list — as text, as a file, or through a playlist link — you are stating that you are allowed to. Rille does not check that and cannot.

Two limits are technical rather than legal: an imported list is cut to 500 songs, and Apple's search allows only around twenty queries a minute. A large import therefore takes minutes rather than seconds. That is not a fault.

Playlists from other services

Rille can read public playlists from Deezer and YouTube and look their songs up at Apple. In doing so:

• Nothing from those services is played and nothing is downloaded. Titles and artists are read, and nothing else.
• The services' own terms apply to them. In particular, anything originating from YouTube is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service.
• Whether a link works is those services' decision, not ours. If one of them changes its interface, a feature may disappear without notice.

Purchases

There is free content and paid content. Free: the starter playlist, one slot for a playlist of your own, and all four ways to play. Paid: further playlist slots, curated packs, and a three-day pass that opens every pack for 72 hours.

Every purchase is handled by the store you installed the app from — Google Play or the App Store. Your contractual partner for payment is that store, not us. Its payment, refund and withdrawal terms apply, and it is also the right place to ask for a refund.

There is no subscription. A bought pack and a bought slot stay yours; the pass expires after 72 hours and does not renew itself.

On the right of withdrawal: for digital content made available immediately, it lapses once you agree to immediate performance and acknowledge that you thereby lose that right. The store obtains that agreement at the point of purchase.

The pass and the clock

The 72 hours are stamped against our server's time, not your phone's clock. The expiry is cached on the device so that an evening keeps running without internet. Somebody who moves their device clock will, in case of doubt, gain a few hours — which we prefer to cutting the music off because the cellar has no signal.

What we do not promise

Rille is not a service with guaranteed availability. Individual features depend on other people's interfaces — Apple, Deezer, YouTube, MusicBrainz — and if one of them fails, changes, or shuts us out, the corresponding feature can fail. The basic game on an already-loaded playlist keeps working without internet.

Years are checked with great care, and by hand for the bundled lists. One can still be wrong, and for re-recordings and reissues "the year" is sometimes genuinely disputed. The app has a report button for this; use it, and we will correct it.

Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for damage arising from injury to life, body or health. For ordinary negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper use possible in the first place and on which you may rely — and then limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract. Liability under the German Product Liability Act is unaffected.

If you breach these terms

For serious breaches — commercial redistribution of bought content, or automated bulk querying — we may block access to the server-side features. Content already bought and held on the device is unaffected, unless it is itself the subject of the breach.

Changes

When what the app does changes, these terms change with it. The date at the top says when they last did. We announce material changes in the app. If you object to them, you may keep using the edition you have, or delete the app; that does not by itself create a claim to a refund for content already bought, as long as it remains usable.

Law and jurisdiction

German law applies. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country where you habitually reside are unaffected. If you are a merchant, the place of jurisdiction is Kornwestheim.

On online dispute resolution: we are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
