Terms of Use

Last updated September 2, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Ludi Eximii LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Ludi Eximii," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the LineSpell mobile application and any related features, content, products, and services that link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services").

By downloading, accessing, purchasing, or using any part of the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility and acceptance

You must have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms and supervise your use of the Services. A parent or guardian who permits a minor to use the Services agrees to these Terms and is responsible for the minor’s use.

If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization, and "you" includes the organization.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the revised Terms and update the "Last updated" date. When reasonably appropriate, we may also provide notice through the Services. Changes apply prospectively when posted unless a later date is stated. Your continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms.

2. The Services and your license

LineSpell is a word game for iPhone and iPad. Players move letter tiles on a shared board to form words, either on one device or through online play using a join code.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for noncommercial entertainment and as permitted by Apple’s applicable usage rules.

The Services are licensed, not sold. You receive no ownership interest in the App, Services, Content, or Marks. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

You are responsible for your device, internet connection, carrier charges, Apple account, and compliance with applicable laws and third-party terms. You may use the Services only where lawful. Access from a particular location does not mean the Services comply with that location’s laws.

3. Our intellectual property

We or our licensors own the Services and all related software, source and object code, game mechanics and presentation, databases, designs, text, graphics, artwork, audio, video, interfaces, features, and other materials (collectively, "Content"), as well as the LineSpell name, logos, trademarks, and service marks (collectively, "Marks"). The Content and Marks are protected by intellectual-property and unfair-competition laws.

Except for the license in Section 2, you may not copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, publicly display, distribute, sell, license, exploit, or remove proprietary notices from any part of the Services without our prior written permission.

Any unauthorized use of the Services, Content, or Marks is a material breach of these Terms and automatically terminates your license.

4. Player names, communications, and feedback

The Services may allow you to choose a player name or provide other limited text ("Player Content"). Player Content may be visible to other players in the same game or session.

You retain any rights you have in Player Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, modify for technical purposes, moderate, and remove Player Content as needed to operate, secure, improve, and enforce the Services. This license ends when the Player Content is no longer reasonably needed for those purposes, except for backup, legal, fraud-prevention, and enforcement records.

You represent that your Player Content is accurate where accuracy matters; that you have all rights needed to provide it; and that it does not violate these Terms, applicable law, or anyone else’s rights. We may reject, remove, change, or restrict Player Content at any time, with or without notice.

If you send us ideas, suggestions, comments, bug reports, or other feedback ("Feedback"), you assign to us all rights in the Feedback. To the extent an assignment is not legally effective, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use and exploit the Feedback for any purpose without notice, attribution, or compensation. Do not send us confidential information.

5. Prohibited conduct

You may not, and may not help anyone else to:

• use the Services for any unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, threatening, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, sexually explicit, defamatory, or otherwise harmful purpose;
• choose a player name or provide content that infringes intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, impersonates another person, or misrepresents your identity or affiliation;
• cheat, exploit bugs, manipulate gameplay or scores, misuse join or redemption codes, or gain an unfair advantage;
• access or attempt to access another person’s session, device, account, data, or any nonpublic part of the Services without authorization;
• interfere with, overload, damage, disrupt, or bypass the Services or their security, access controls, rate limits, or technical restrictions;
• introduce malware or other harmful code, spam users or systems, or use the Services to collect, track, or transmit information without authorization;
• use bots, scripts, scrapers, crawlers, data-mining tools, automated systems, or similar means to access or extract data from the Services, except for ordinary browser or search-engine activity that we have not blocked;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, derive source code from, modify, or create derivative works of the App or Services, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction;
• copy, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, commercially exploit, or use the Services or Content to develop or support a competing product or service; or
• encourage, attempt, or facilitate any violation of these Terms.

6. Online play, purchases, and codes

Online play is available only to players who indicate that they are 18 or over. It requires a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. Apple’s terms govern the transaction, billing, taxes, payment methods, and refunds. We do not receive your payment-card number or Apple Account credentials. Refund requests must be submitted to Apple and are subject to Apple’s policies.

The purchase grants a non-expiring entitlement to unlock online-play functionality for the Apple Account associated with the purchase, subject to these Terms, Apple’s systems and policies, continued compatibility, and the continued availability of the Services. It is not a promise that online play or any particular feature will remain available indefinitely.

A qualifying purchase may include one single-use code that you may give to another adult. Codes expire on a date set when the code is issued, and an expired code cannot be redeemed. Before a code expires, we may replace an unredeemed code with a new one. A code has no cash value, may not be sold, and cannot be reused or separately refunded once redeemed. We may reject or disable codes that are invalid, duplicated, altered, fraudulently obtained, resold, or used contrary to these Terms.

Online play depends on systems and servers that may be changed, interrupted, suspended, or discontinued. We may modify or discontinue online play or any feature at any time. When reasonably practicable, we will provide notice of a planned discontinuation through the Services. Single-device play is designed not to depend on our online-play servers, but we do not guarantee continued operation on every device or operating-system version.

7. Apple App Store terms

The following terms apply to an App obtained through Apple’s App Store:

• These Terms are between you and Ludi Eximii, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
• Your license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by Apple’s usage rules, including any permitted Family Sharing, volume-purchasing, or Legacy Contact use.
• We are solely responsible for maintenance and support required by these Terms or applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.
• To the extent any warranty cannot lawfully be disclaimed, we are responsible for it. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, paid for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing claims relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including product-liability, legal-compliance, consumer-protection, and privacy claims.
• If a third party claims that the App or your possession or use of it infringes intellectual-property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and resolving that claim.
• You represent that you are not located in a region subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government restricted-party list.
• You must comply with applicable third-party agreements when using the App, including your wireless-data agreement.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you upon your acceptance.
• Questions, complaints, or claims concerning the App should be directed to us using the contact information in Section 17.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information and is incorporated into these Terms. By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described in that policy.

The Services are operated from the United States. If you use them from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, subject to applicable law.

9. Enforcement, suspension, and termination

We may monitor use of the Services to protect users, enforce these Terms, comply with law, and maintain the Services, but we are not required to do so.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, block, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access; end a game or session; disable a code; remove Player Content; or take other appropriate action for any lawful reason, including if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk or potential legal exposure, misused the Services, or if action is needed to protect the Services, users, us, or others. We may report suspected unlawful conduct to appropriate authorities.

You may stop using the Services at any time. Upon termination, your license ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, Feedback, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, dispute terms, and miscellaneous provisions — will survive.

10. Changes, interruptions, and data

We may correct errors and change, update, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Services, including features, content, availability, and prices, at any time without liability, subject to applicable law.

The Services may be unavailable or impaired because of maintenance, updates, technical problems, network failures, third-party services, security events, circumstances beyond our control, or other reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation, compatibility with every device or operating-system version, or preservation of game state, history, settings, Player Content, or other data.

You are responsible for information you choose to transmit and for maintaining any copies you need. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss, corruption, deletion, or failure to store or transmit data.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND COURSE-OF-DEALING WARRANTIES.

We do not warrant that the Services will meet your expectations; be uninterrupted, timely, secure, compatible, or error-free; produce any particular result; or be free of harmful components. We are not responsible for third-party services, devices, networks, content, conduct, products, or transactions. No advice or information from us creates a warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LUDI EXIMII AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ("COMPANY PARTIES") WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR DATA; OR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF ADVISED THAT DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY PARTIES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED US $100.

These limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law and do not limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this Section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company Parties from and against third-party claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, settlements, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of the Services; (b) your Player Content or Feedback; (c) your breach of these Terms; (d) your violation of law or another person’s rights; or (e) your fraud, misconduct, or harmful act toward another user.

We may assume exclusive control of the defense and settlement of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense. You will cooperate with the defense and may not settle a claim in a way that imposes liability, admissions, or obligations on a Company Party without our written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of covered claims.

14. Governing law and disputes

New York law governs these Terms and any dispute arising from them, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any legal action arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. You and we consent to those courts’ personal jurisdiction and venue and waive objections based on inconvenient forum, except where applicable law does not permit these requirements.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim must be filed within one year after it arose or it is permanently barred.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act do not apply.

15. Electronic communications

When you use the Services, email us, or submit an online form, you communicate with us electronically. You consent to receive notices and other communications electronically, and agree that electronic communications satisfy legal writing requirements. You agree to electronic records and signatures where permitted by law.

16. Miscellaneous

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any additional terms expressly presented for a feature or purchase are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede prior understandings on that subject.

Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms or your rights without our written consent. We may assign them in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, financing, asset transfer, reorganization, or sale.

If any provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder will remain effective. No partnership, joint venture, employment, fiduciary, or agency relationship is created. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Headings are for convenience only. These Terms will not be construed against a party merely because that party drafted them.

Except for Apple and its subsidiaries under Section 7, these Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.
