Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 2025

Welcome to Word Bomb! These Terms of Service govern your use of our game. By playing, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By playing Word Bomb through Discord Activities, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree with any part of these terms, please don't use the game. Continued use means you accept these terms, including any future updates.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to play Word Bomb, in line with Discord's requirements. If you're under 18 (or your region's age of majority), a parent or guardian should review these terms with you.

3. Community Guidelines

We want Word Bomb to be fun for everyone. Please:

  • Play fairly and honestly
  • Be respectful to other players
  • Don't use cheats, bots, or exploits
  • Don't harass, spam, or disrupt gameplay
  • Don't attempt unauthorized access to our systems

Breaking these rules may result in warnings, suspensions, or permanent bans. We'll do our best to be fair, but we reserve the right to make final decisions about what counts as a violation.

4. Game Content and Features

About game ownership: Word Bomb is in active development, and we're constantly improving it. All game features, items, and content (like syllables, themes, discoveries, bombs, achievements, and leaderboard positions) are part of the game service we provide. They don't have real-world monetary value and can't be sold or traded for real money.

As we develop the game, we may need to adjust, rebalance, or change features. We'll try to avoid major disruptions, but sometimes changes are necessary for game health and balance. Since the game is still evolving, we can't guarantee all features will remain exactly as they are.

Community content: We love seeing the community create tools and content around Word Bomb! You're welcome to use our visual and sound assets for non-commercial fan projects. If you want to use them commercially, please reach out for permission.

5. Privacy and Data

Your privacy matters to us. Please read our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect and use data. By playing Word Bomb, you agree to our data practices, including the way we work with volunteer moderators to keep the game safe and fair.

6. Service Availability

We provide Word Bomb "as is" and work hard to keep it running smoothly. However, like any online service, we can't guarantee it will always be available or error-free. There may be downtime for maintenance, unexpected technical issues, or bugs we're working to fix. We're not liable for any disruptions to your gameplay.

7. Limitation of Liability

Important legal information: To the extent permitted by law, Word Bomb and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the game. This includes things like:

  • Loss of game progress or virtual items
  • Service interruptions or technical issues
  • Actions of other players or third parties
  • Security incidents or data issues
  • Decisions or actions by volunteer moderators

If we are found liable for anything, our total liability is limited to $100 USD or the amount you've paid us in the past 12 months (if any), whichever is less. Word Bomb is free to play, so this is mainly a legal formality.

8. Dispute Resolution

How we handle disputes: If you have a problem or complaint, please reach out to us through Discord first. We're happy to work with you to resolve issues.

For legal disputes that can't be resolved informally, you agree that disputes will be handled through individual arbitration rather than court lawsuits or class actions. This means:

  • Disputes are resolved one-on-one, not as part of a class action
  • A neutral arbitrator will hear both sides
  • The process is typically faster and less expensive than court
  • You waive your right to participate in class action lawsuits

This applies to all disputes, including those related to privacy, data security, or any other aspect of the game. For users in the United States, arbitration follows the Federal Arbitration Act and American Arbitration Association rules. International users will use a similar arbitration process appropriate to their location.

9. Account Termination

We hope you enjoy Word Bomb for a long time! However, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, engage in abusive behavior, or for other legitimate reasons. If your account is terminated, you lose access to any associated progress or items.

10. Intellectual Property

Word Bomb, including all its content, graphics, code, and features, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You can't copy, modify, or redistribute our content without permission, except as allowed for non-commercial fan content as mentioned above.

11. Third-Party Services

Word Bomb runs on Discord and may integrate with other third-party services. These services have their own terms and policies. We're not responsible for how third-party services operate, but we choose our partners carefully.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the game or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know through Discord or in-game. Continuing to play after changes means you accept the updated terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Word Bomb's operators are located. Any legal proceedings or arbitration will take place in that jurisdiction.

14. Contact Us

Have questions or concerns? Reach out through our Discord server. While we can't respond to every message, we read feedback and take it seriously. We're here to make Word Bomb the best it can be!

15. Miscellaneous

If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, represent the complete agreement between you and Word Bomb. Our failure to enforce any provision doesn't mean we waive the right to enforce it later.
