Welcome to ClueBolt. These Terms of Use govern your use of the ClueBolt website and trivia puzzle game. By accessing or using ClueBolt, you agree to these terms.

1. Terms of Use

ClueBolt is a free trivia puzzle game that allows users to solve clues by building answers from letters.

You may use ClueBolt for personal, non-commercial entertainment and other lawful purposes. You do not need to create an account or register to play.

You are responsible for using ClueBolt in accordance with these Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations.

2. Game Rules

ClueBolt is designed to be played fairly. Players should attempt to solve puzzles using the clues and gameplay provided by the game.

You must not intentionally interfere with the operation of the game or attempt to obtain an unfair advantage through technical manipulation.

This includes attempting to bypass gameplay restrictions, manipulate game state, interfere with another player's session, exploit vulnerabilities, or use automated systems to generate or submit gameplay in a way that materially interferes with the service.

ClueBolt may modify, suspend, or discontinue gameplay features, puzzle rotations, scoring mechanisms, or other game mechanics when reasonably necessary to operate or improve the service.

3. Appropriate Use

You may not use ClueBolt to:

• break or circumvent technical restrictions;
• attempt unauthorized access to the website or its systems;
• interfere with the availability, security, or operation of the service;
• introduce malicious code, scripts, or other harmful material;
• abuse automated requests in a way that places unreasonable load on the service;
• attempt to access data or accounts that you are not authorized to access; or
• use the service for unlawful purposes.

We may take reasonable technical or administrative measures to protect ClueBolt, its users, and its infrastructure from misuse.

4. Intellectual Property

ClueBolt, its branding, visual design, logos, website content, software, and other original materials are owned by ClueBolt or its respective licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

The ClueBolt name, logo, and associated branding may not be copied, reproduced, modified, or used in a way that suggests an affiliation with or endorsement by ClueBolt without permission.

You may access and use the game for its intended purpose. You may not reproduce, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit substantial portions of the ClueBolt software, game interface, puzzle database, or other protected content without appropriate authorization.

Some third-party libraries, services, or content used by ClueBolt may be subject to their own licenses and terms.

5. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

ClueBolt is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we aim to provide a reliable and enjoyable experience, we do not guarantee that the website or game will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free from defects.

Puzzle content may occasionally contain errors, ambiguities, outdated information, or other inaccuracies. Game mechanics, content, availability, and features may change over time.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ClueBolt and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the service.

Nothing in these Terms of Use excludes or limits liability where doing so would not be permitted by applicable law.

6. Support and Donations

ClueBolt is currently available to play for free. Users may voluntarily support the project through the support or donation options made available by ClueBolt.

Voluntary support is intended to help cover the costs of operating and maintaining ClueBolt and does not purchase additional gameplay advantages, ownership rights, or guaranteed access to any particular feature.

Any payment or donation made through a third-party payment service is also subject to that provider's terms and policies.

If you have a question about a support payment, please contact ClueBolt through the Contact page.

7. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Use when ClueBolt's features, services, or practices change. Updated terms will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
