Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these terms

"Wordugtong" (the "Game") is operated by Henyo Games ("we," "us," "our"). By downloading, installing, opening, or otherwise using the Game or its website you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please don't use the Game.

2. Eligibility

You may use the Game if you are at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if that is higher. Younger players should have a parent or guardian's permission and review of our Privacy Policy.

3. Your license to use the Game

We grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment, on devices you own or control. You may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the Game except where the law explicitly allows it.
• Distribute, sell, sublicense, or rent the Game or any part of it.
• Use the Game to build a competing product or to train an AI model.
• Remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, or attribution notice.

4. Fair play

Wordugtong has scoreboards, daily challenges, and 2-player matches. To keep these fun for everyone you agree not to:

• Use bots, scripts, emulators, modified clients, or memory editors to play or submit scores.
• Exploit bugs to inflate your score, complete boards you didn't actually play, or otherwise misrepresent gameplay.
• Harass, threaten, or behave in a hateful or sexually inappropriate way toward other players (including via your username).
• Spam the leaderboard with offensive, misleading, or impersonating usernames.

We may remove scores, reset accounts, change usernames, or block a player or IP address that violates these rules, with or without notice. Repeat or serious offenses can result in permanent removal.

5. Usernames and content

The Game generates a random username for you. You can pick a different one, but it must follow the fair-play rules above. We may change a username that is offensive, impersonates a real person, or violates someone's trademark.

Aside from your username and submitted scores, the Game does not host user-generated content.

6. Intellectual property

The Game, including its code, art, word lists, dictionaries, layouts, name, logos, and tagline ("Salita. Isip. Dugtong."), is owned by Henyo Games and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms do not transfer any rights to you other than the limited license in section 3.

Some Filipino-language words and definitions used in the Game are taken from public sources and traditional usage; we credit those sources in the in-game dictionary where applicable.

7. Third-party services

When the Game is published to the App Store and Google Play, those platforms also have their own terms that apply to your download and use of the Game. We do not control how Apple or Google handle the install transaction.

8. Disclaimers

The Game is provided "as is" and "as available." We don't warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, virus-free, or that any specific result (a score, a leaderboard rank, a daily-board solution) will be available. To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Henyo Games will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Game, including lost scores, lost streaks, lost data, or device issues. Our total liability for any direct damages will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Game in the past 12 months or (b) ten US dollars ($10).

10. Termination

You can stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your access to the Game if you break these Terms or if we discontinue the service. Sections 6, 8, 9, 11, and 12 survive termination.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that can't be resolved by good-faith discussion will be submitted to the courts of Metro Manila, Philippines.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes we'll update the "Last updated" date and, where reasonable, post a notice in the Game or on this page. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms.
