A plain-language draft. It says how we actually run the site, and it will be reviewed by a lawyer before launch.
These terms cover your use of Mimzo Games. Using the site means you are fine with them. If you are not, the right move is not to use it.
Who can use the site
Anyone can play. Accounts are for people aged 13 and over - under that age, play as a guest and keep your email address to yourself.
Your account
One account per person. Keep your password to yourself; anything done from your account is treated as done by you. Your display name is assigned when you first arrive and cannot be changed, which is why you will never be asked to pick one.
You can delete your account whenever you like, from your stats page. We can close an account that is being used to break these terms.
Fair play
Play the puzzles yourself. Automated play, scripted solving, tampering with results and anything else that manufactures a score may have its results excluded from public figures, and may cost the account.
Every finished board is replayed on our side before it scores, so this is mostly a description of what already happens rather than a threat.
What you can do with the puzzles
Play as many as you want, for free, for yourself. What you cannot do is take them in bulk: no scraping the site, and no copying the puzzles, the word lists or the writing to republish elsewhere.
The puzzles, the artwork, the code and the wording on this site belong to us. The general ideas behind the games - filling a grid with nine digits, guessing a word in six tries - belong to nobody, and we make no claim on them.
Ads
The site is paid for by advertising, so you will see ads between and around the content, never inside a board you are playing. Ads are served by third parties who have their own practices, which the privacy policy describes.
Availability
The site is provided as it is, with no promise that it will always be up or always be perfect. Puzzles, streaks, scores and XP may be corrected if something breaks on our side - if a bad board gave everybody points it should not have, fixing it is fixing it.
We may add games, change how scoring works, or stop offering something. Changes to scoring apply from when they are made, not backward.
Limits
This is a puzzle site. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that come from using it, and nothing here is advice of any kind - medical, cognitive or otherwise. Nothing in these terms takes away a right you have under the law where you live.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change in a way that matters, the page will say so. Carrying on using the site after that means the new version applies.
