2. Description of the service

WordFren is a word puzzle and vocabulary app that offers:

• Daily and other game modes (e.g., grid word builder, falling letters, word chains, word ladder, definition match, rare word unlock, and the “Daily 5” challenges).

• Leaderboards (e.g., daily, weekly, all-time) when you are signed in.
• Account features (e.g., sign-in, display name, profile) where available.

We may add, change, or discontinue features at any time. We do not guarantee that the App or any feature will be available in all regions or on all devices.

3. Account and registration

• License to you. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use, in accordance with these Terms and the applicable App Store terms.

7. Disclaimers

The app and all content and features are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. You use the app at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We (and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including loss of data, revenue, or profit), whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• Our total liability for any claims arising out of or related to the App or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100 USD).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or liabilities. In such jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WordFren and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the App, (b) your violation of these Terms or any law, or (c) your violation of any third party’s rights.
