Terms of Service

1. Who we are

The App is provided by The Skynth (“we”, “us”, or “our”), based in the Netherlands. The App's Android package name is com.hundredgames.wordhunt.

For our data-handling practices, see the Word Hunt Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms by reference.

2. Eligibility

The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under the age required to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

3. License to use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on a device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment.

The App, including its game design, artwork, destinations, puzzles, text, and software, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license above, we reserve all rights. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the App, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App or its underlying systems;
• Use cheats, automation tools, exploits, or bugs to gain an unfair advantage, falsify progress, or manipulate purchases or rewards;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the App's source code except as permitted by applicable law; or
• Use the App in a way that infringes the rights of, or causes harm to, us or any third party.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms.

5. Purchases and virtual items

The App may offer optional one-time purchases processed through Google Play Billing — for example, jewel packs, single-destination unlocks, an all-destinations unlock, and a Complete Edition bundle. All purchases are billed and processed by Google, subject to Google Play's own terms, payment methods, and refund policies. We do not directly collect or store your payment-card or bank-account details.

Jewels and any other in-App virtual currency or entitlement have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash, are non-transferable between accounts or devices, and exist solely for use within the App at our discretion. Unlocks and entitlements are tied to the Google Play account and device configuration used to purchase them and may not carry over if you switch Google Play accounts.

Refund requests for Google Play purchases are handled by Google under its own refund policy. We may, at our discretion, assist with a request but are not obligated to provide a refund directly.

6. Advertising

The App may offer an optional rewarded-video advertisement (via Google AdMob) that you can choose to watch in exchange for an in-App reward. Watching advertisements is always optional, and the App remains fully playable without it. Ad delivery and measurement are subject to Google's own terms and privacy practices.

7. Google Play Games leaderboards

The App may offer optional Google Play Games Services leaderboards. Signing in and submitting scores is voluntary and subject to Google's own terms. We do not operate a separate account system or server for leaderboard data.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on third-party services provided by Google, including Google Play Billing, Google AdMob, and Google Play Games Services. Your use of those services is also governed by Google's own terms and policies, which we encourage you to review:

• Google Play Terms of Service
• Google Terms of Service
• Google Privacy Policy

We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of these third-party services.

9. Content and updates

We may add, remove, or modify destinations, puzzles, features, pricing, or other aspects of the App at any time, including to fix bugs, improve balance, or comply with legal or platform requirements. We do not guarantee that any specific content, feature, or entitlement will remain available indefinitely, though we will make reasonable efforts to honor purchased entitlements.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, progress, or virtual items, arising from or related to your use of the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including statutory consumer-protection rights that may apply in your country of residence.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App if you violate these Terms, or discontinue the App or any of its features at our discretion, including where required by Google Play policy or applicable law. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including sections 3, 5, 10, 11, and 13) will survive.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable local consumer-protection law requires otherwise. Where you qualify as a consumer under mandatory local law, that law's consumer protections and your right to bring proceedings in your local courts are not affected by this section.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the App, its third-party services, or legal requirements. We will publish the revised Terms at this URL and update the effective date above. Continued use of the App after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
