Terms of Service

This is a plain-language summary, not our final terms. The complete Terms of Service — reviewed by legal counsel — will be published here before PonderBug’s public launch. Questions in the meantime? Get in touch.

The deal, in plain terms

• Free to play. PonderBug is free, with no ads. We may add optional features later, but the daily puzzles are for everyone.
• Be 13 or older. PonderBug is intended for players aged 13 and up. If you’re younger, please ask a parent or guardian first.
• Play fair. Don’t cheat, automate, scrape, or reverse-engineer the games, and don’t abuse leaderboards or other players.
• Keep it kind. Usernames and any messages you send us must not be abusive, hateful, or infringing. We can remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.
• We own the puzzles. The games, puzzles, artwork, mascot, and brand are ours. You get a personal licence to play — not to copy or redistribute them.

Accounts

You can play as a guest with no account. If you create one, keep your sign-in secure — it’s how your streaks and stats stay yours. You can ask us to close your account at any time.

The service is provided “as is”

We work hard to keep PonderBug running and the puzzles solvable, but the service is provided without warranties, and we may change or pause features. Nothing here limits rights you have under the consumer-protection laws of your country.

Changes

We’ll post the full, final Terms here before public launch, and we’ll note significant changes on the what’s new page.
