Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and Misquamicut Technologies LLC (“we”, “us”) for using CleverWords: the apps, older versions published as CodeWords, and this website. By using CleverWords you agree to them, and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use CleverWords.
1. Your account
- You must be at least 13 years old, or older if your country requires it, to use CleverWords.
- Keep your sign-in secure. You’re responsible for what happens on your account. Tell us if you think someone else is using it.
- One account per person. Don’t pretend to be someone else.
2. Community rules
CleverWords is played with friends and with people you don’t know yet. Everything players put into it is seen by others: names, photos, clues, Minis and chat. Keep it friendly. You may not post or send anything that:
- harasses, bullies, threatens or intimidates anyone;
- is hateful or demeaning about people based on who they are;
- is sexually explicit, or sexualizes minors in any way;
- promotes violence, self-harm, or illegal activity;
- shares someone’s private information without their permission;
- is spam, a scam, or advertising;
- impersonates another person, or infringes someone else’s rights.
Also, don’t cheat with bots or scripts, and don’t try to break, overload or get around CleverWords’ security.
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You can report any player, name, photo, clue or message in the app, and block anyone so they can’t reach you. We review reports promptly, normally within 24 hours. We remove content that breaks these rules and may mute, ban from Minis, or lock out the players who posted it, without warning. To report something urgent, email support@cleverwords.app.
3. Your content
You own what you create in CleverWords, like your clues and messages. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, copy, display and share it as needed to run and improve CleverWords. That includes showing your clues to other players, for example in the Daily Guesser and in Minis. The license ends when your content is deleted, except where it has already been shared with other players (for example, a clue in a game you played together).
4. Regulars membership and purchases
Regulars is an optional membership. It currently includes no ads, the member mark and paper stock, and more games at once with new players. We may add or change benefits.
- Regulars is offered as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by country.
- Subscriptions renew automatically. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase. Your subscription renews at the same price for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings or in Google Play’s Subscriptions. Deleting the app, or your CleverWords account, doesn’t cancel a subscription.
- If we offer a free trial, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. Use Restore purchases in the app to get your membership back on a new device.
- If you bought Remove Ads in an earlier version, you’re a Charter Member and get Regulars for life. If restoring doesn’t bring it back, email us.
5. Ads
CleverWords is free, and shows a small number of ads to players who aren’t members. The Privacy Policy explains how ads use data.
6. Our part
CleverWords, its name, logo, design, word lists and software belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app for your own enjoyment. We may change, add or remove features, and we may pause or end the service. If we end it, we’ll give reasonable notice in the app.
7. Ending your use
You can stop at any time and delete your account in the app under You → Delete account, or on the web. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or if we have to for legal reasons.
8. Disclaimers
CleverWords is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including that it will always be available, error-free, or that games or data will never be lost. Other players’ content is theirs, not ours, and we don’t endorse it.
9. Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or lost data or profits. Our total liability for any claim about CleverWords is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
11. App stores
These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. If you downloaded CleverWords from the App Store: Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it; if the app fails to meet a warranty, you may notify Apple for a refund of its purchase price, and Apple has no other warranty obligation; Apple isn’t responsible for claims about the app (including product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property claims); you confirm you’re not in a country under a US government embargo and not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
12. Changes
We may update these terms. We’ll change the version and date above, and tell you in the app about significant changes before they apply. If you keep playing after that, you accept the new terms.
