Terms of Service for Trifecta Word

Effective date: August 26, 2026

1. Accepting These Terms

Before you can play, the App asks you to tick a box confirming that you have read these Terms and the Privacy Policy, and that you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. Until that box is ticked, you cannot sign in with Google and cannot continue as a guest. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

2. Eligibility

The App is intended for a general audience. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the App with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian. The App is not directed at children under 13 (see the Privacy Policy, Section 10).

3. Accounts

• You may play as a guest, or sign in with your Google account to unlock features such as publishing results on the live scoreboard, syncing your progress across devices, joining private scoreboards, and collecting rewards.
• Guest progress is stored only on the device you play on. It is not synced, not backed up by us, and cannot be recovered if you clear the App’s data or uninstall it.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Google account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Nicknames used on the scoreboards must be unique and must not be offensive, impersonate another person or brand, or infringe third-party rights. We may reject, rename (where technically required for uniqueness), or remove a nickname or scoreboard entry that violates these Terms.
• Each account is given a random 16-digit public ID, which is what other players use to invite you to a private scoreboard. Share it only with people you want to be able to invite you.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
• Attempt to cheat, exploit bugs, or manipulate scores, timers, coin balances, item boxes, or any scoreboard;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
• Interfere with the operation of the App or its backend servers, including through automated scripts, bots, or excessive requests;
• Use offensive, defamatory, or infringing nicknames, scoreboard names, or other content;
• Use the App to harass other players, including through private scoreboard invitations.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App, remove scoreboard entries, or reset a nickname if you violate these Terms.

5. The App Is Free — No Purchases

• The App is free to use in full. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no paid tier. Every feature, item, and puzzle is reachable by playing, by watching optional rewarded ads, or with the in-game coins those earn you.
• Because there is nothing to buy, we never process a payment and never see your payment details.

6. Advertising

The App is funded by advertising. In the Android app, Google AdMob shows rewarded video ads: certain optional actions — playing additional puzzles beyond the daily one, adding time when the timer runs out, doubling a reward, and claiming bonus coin boxes — can be paid for either by watching an ad or with coins you have already earned. In the browser, Google AdSense shows banner ads on the website and around (never inside) the puzzle.

Watching an ad is always optional and is never required to play the daily puzzle. Ad availability depends on Google’s ad inventory and is outside our control; if no ad is available, the related action may be temporarily unavailable, and the coin alternative remains.

7. Virtual Currency, Item Boxes, and Coin Donations

• The App includes an in-game virtual currency ("coins"), earned by solving puzzles, from the daily free coin box, by watching optional rewarded ads, and from scoreboard rewards and gifts. Coins cannot be bought. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for real money or transferred outside the App, are not redeemable for cash, and are forfeited if you delete your account or the App is discontinued.
• Coins may be spent on hints, on unlocking additional puzzles, on creating and renaming private scoreboards and inviting players to them, and on "boxes" that award a random cosmetic item (a keyboard theme, nickname border, or profile icon). The odds of receiving one of the rarer "special" items are disclosed in the App at the point of purchase. Regardless of odds, every 20th box you open is guaranteed to award a special item, unless you already own every special item available, in which case that guarantee does not apply.
• You may optionally donate coins to a monthly community leaderboard. Donations are final and non-refundable. Each month, the top donors are shown a public status badge ("Royalty", "Nobility", or "Bourgeoisie", depending on rank) next to their nickname on scoreboards, receive a starting-score bonus for the remainder of that month, and receive an automatic coin gift at the start of the following month. Standings reset at the start of each calendar month.
• We may adjust coin earning rates, box odds, box and item costs, or donation tiers and rewards at any time; material changes will be reflected in the App and, where required, in these Terms.

8. Scoreboards

• Sharing a result publishes your nickname and score to the live daily scoreboard and to the monthly standings, where every player can see them.
• You may create private ("friends") scoreboards and invite other players to them using their 16-digit public ID. Members of a board can see each other’s nicknames and scores on that board.
• A board’s owner may rename it, remove members, and delete it. Deleting a board, or deleting your account, dissolves every board you own for all of its members.
• Scores are computed and validated on our servers. We may correct or remove any entry we determine to be the result of a bug, an exploit, or deliberate manipulation.

9. Your Data: Access and Deletion

• Request Account Data. Under Settings → Legal → Request Account Data in the Android app you can see, in JSON, everything our servers store about your account. For a downloadable file, sign in to the web app and use Settings → Legal → Download my data.
• Delete Account & Data. Under Settings → Legal → Delete Account & Data, in either the Android app or the web app, you can permanently delete your account and every piece of data attached to it. You will be asked to type the word "Delete" to confirm, because the action is irreversible: your scores, coins, unlocked items, rewards, donation history and private scoreboards are destroyed and cannot be restored, and any coins or items you hold are forfeited without compensation.

What is erased, and the one anonymized record that is kept, are described in the Privacy Policy, Section 7.

10. Intellectual Property

The App, including its puzzles, design, artwork, logo, and software, is owned by the Developer and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

11. User-Generated Content (Nicknames and Scoreboard Names)

Nicknames you submit are publicly visible to other players, and the names you give private scoreboards are visible to their members. By submitting them, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to display them within the App’s scoreboard features. You are solely responsible for what you choose, and we may remove or reset anything that violates Section 4. Your monthly donation status badge, if any, is displayed alongside your nickname under the same terms (see Section 7).

12. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including:

• Google Sign-In (authentication)
• Google AdMob (advertising in the Android app)
• Google AdSense (advertising on the website and web app)

Your use of these services is also subject to Google’s own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of these third-party services.

13. No Warranty

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the backend server will always be available; features such as sign-in, scoreboards, coins, and score syncing require connectivity to our servers.

Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer protection rights you have under applicable law (including EU/UK consumer law) that cannot be excluded or limited by agreement.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEVELOPER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEVELOPER’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED 10 USD. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (for example, liability for death, personal injury, gross negligence, or fraud).

15. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it, and you may delete your account and data at any time from Settings → Legal (Section 9). We may suspend or terminate your access to backend-dependent features (sign-in, scoreboards, coins, rewards) if you violate these Terms.

16. Changes to the App or These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App (including the backend service) at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of North Macedonia, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence (for example, EU/UK/EEA or U.S. state law) grant you additional rights or require the application of local law, in which case those mandatory provisions will apply. Any dispute not resolved informally may be brought before the competent courts of North Macedonia, unless applicable mandatory law gives you the right to bring a claim in your own country of residence.

EU consumers may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform to resolve disputes.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
