Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

WordPoise is independently operated by Debartha Chakraborty, based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. These Terms govern your use of the WordPoise app and related website. Adults who use WordPoise agree to these Terms. Parents or guardians should review them with children using the local-only experience. Nothing here requires a minor to enter a contract they cannot legally make. Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled.

2. WordPoise service

WordPoise is a calm, thoughtful word puzzle game. It is not a gambling service and does not offer real-money gaming, prizes, cash-out features, subscriptions, advertising, or in-app purchases in V1. Features may vary by platform, connectivity, region, eligibility, version, and release status. V1 mobile distribution initially targets India and the United States.

3. Eligibility and accounts

WordPoise is intended to offer local gameplay for all ages, with word puzzles primarily suited to ages 9 and above. Younger children may play locally with appropriate guidance. In the first release, players under 18 are limited to the local-only experience; online accounts, Google Sign-In, cloud-backed features, and online Duels are intended only for adults aged 18 or older. Feature availability depends on the released app version.

Local gameplay does not require a WordPoise server account. Eligible adult online features may use Firebase anonymous authentication or Google Sign-In. Keep your device and sign-in method secure. Anonymous account access may not be recoverable after reinstalling the app or losing its credentials; local-only progress may also be lost when app data is removed.

Where supported, eligible adults may link or merge accounts. Account linking and account switching are different actions: changing the account you use does not automatically transfer or merge saved progress. Any available merge flow should be explicitly initiated by the player.

4. Gameplay and results

WordPoise includes Daily Journey, Practice, local game history and statistics, and eligible online Duels where available. Daily Journey progresses through 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-letter puzzles. Practice is designed for relaxed, offline-first play. Duels are online, turn-based matches for eligible adult accounts.

We do not guarantee permanent availability of every puzzle, progress record, online service, or feature. In online Duels, server-authoritative game state and deadlines determine the official result. Do not rely on WordPoise for emergency communication, time-critical decisions, or any purpose outside personal entertainment.

5. Fair play and prohibited behavior

You must not access another person’s account without authorization; interfere with, overload, probe, or disrupt the service; use automation, bots, scripts, exploits, modified clients, or other methods to gain an unfair advantage; impersonate another person or WordPoise; or use WordPoise unlawfully. Nothing in these terms prohibits activity that applicable law permits.

6. Intellectual property

WordPoise, its software, branding, game presentation, and other content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Subject to these terms, you receive a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable right to use WordPoise for personal, non-commercial entertainment. These terms do not transfer ownership of WordPoise or its content. Third-party materials are used under their applicable licenses.

7. Availability, changes, suspension, and deletion

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features for maintenance, security, development, legal compliance, or operational reasons. We may suspend or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect WordPoise, players, or the service; address a violation of these terms; or comply with law.

For account and data deletion, use the process on our Account Deletion page. WordPoise handles personal information as described in the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

WordPoise is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or available at every time or location, or that all data will be preserved without loss.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, WordPoise and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, or use arising from use of or inability to use the service. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

9. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, subject to any mandatory laws applicable to you.

Subject to applicable law and any mandatory consumer rights and jurisdictional protections, disputes arising out of or relating to WordPoise will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

10. Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will post the updated version here with a revised effective date. Questions about these terms can be sent to support@wordpoise.com .
