Terms of Use

1. Who these terms are with

These terms are between you and Niryph, publisher of Word Search Puzzles: Offline (“Niryph”, “we”, “us”). Contact: contact@niryph.com.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these terms. Otherwise, a parent or legal guardian must approve your use. Follow the laws that apply where you live and the rules of the store and platform account used to obtain the app.

3. Licence and acceptable use

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control for private, non-commercial entertainment, subject to these terms and applicable store rules.

Do not unlawfully copy or distribute the app, bypass purchase verification or security controls, manipulate scores or achievements, interfere with connected services, impersonate another player, or exploit vulnerabilities. Restrictions on modification or reverse engineering apply only to the extent permitted by law; activities that cannot lawfully be restricted remain permitted.

4. Gameplay and local information

The app is a word-search game for entertainment. Dictionaries, topics, modes, balancing, appearance, and compatibility may change through updates. Scores, achievements, and hint credits have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money or property.

Progress and settings are stored locally. Clearing app data, deleting the app, or changing devices can remove saved puzzles and unused local balances. You are responsible for backups where available; cross-device progress transfer is not guaranteed.

5. Optional purchases

The app has no advertising and offers optional consumable hint packs of 10, 50, 100, or 200 hints. The in-app shop and store display a product’s description, price, and applicable purchase terms before confirmation. Only make a purchase if you are authorised to use the store account.

Apple or Google processes payments, taxes, account-level records, and refunds under its terms and applicable law. We do not receive full payment-card details. Consumable hints are used during play and are not restored as fresh credits after consumption. Hint balances are stored locally and may be lost if app data is cleared or the app is deleted. Purchases do not automatically transfer between different stores or platforms.

Contact support if a completed hint purchase was not delivered. Your mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

6. Connected services

Technical Firebase Crashlytics reports, purchases, Apple Game Center, and Google Play Games depend on the relevant provider, your device, region, account, settings, and network access. Their terms and privacy notices apply. Bundled puzzles can be played offline; connected services need internet access and may be unavailable during provider outages.

7. Intellectual property and feedback

The app’s original software, artwork, design, and game content belong to Niryph or its licensors. Third-party components and word data remain subject to their own licences. If you send suggestions, you permit us to use them to improve the app without payment, while retaining ownership of rights you already hold. Only send material you have permission to share.

8. Updates and ending use

We may fix defects, update features, change supported operating systems, or discontinue support for old versions. We do not promise permanent availability of every feature or third-party service. You may stop using the app by deleting it. We may restrict connected features for serious misuse, fraud, security risks, legal requirements, or platform enforcement.

9. Warranties and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the app is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, preservation of local progress, or availability of platform services.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that consumer law says cannot be excluded, or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including for fraud or death or personal injury caused by negligence. If you are a consumer, we remain responsible for foreseeable loss caused by our breach or failure to use reasonable care. We are not responsible for unforeseeable loss, business loss from personal use, or failures outside our reasonable control to the extent permitted by law.

10. Privacy

The Privacy Policy explains local storage, technical Crashlytics reporting, platform services, support correspondence, and privacy controls. It forms a separate notice about information handling.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, this choice does not remove mandatory protections of the law of your usual country of residence. You may bring proceedings in any court allowed by applicable consumer law.

12. Changes and general terms

We may update these terms to reflect app changes, legal requirements, security needs, or platform rules. The version and effective date identify the current terms. Material changes will be communicated where required. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remain effective. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. A transfer of this agreement as part of a reorganisation or sale must not reduce your mandatory rights.
