3. Accounts

To use certain features, you must sign in using Google or Apple Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. User Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Submit offensive, abusive, or inappropriate content when creating custom puzzles
  • Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities instead of reporting them

5. AI-Generated Content

Puzzles are generated by AI (Google Gemini). While we strive for quality, AI-generated content may occasionally contain errors or inaccuracies in clues or answers. We do not guarantee the accuracy of all generated content. If you encounter issues, please report them through the app.

  • Plus — $4.99/month or $39.99/year

Billing & Renewal

  • Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account (App Store) or Google account (Play Store) at confirmation of purchase.
  • Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
  • Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the cost of the chosen plan.
  • You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store or Google Play Store after purchase.

Free Trials

Any unused portion of a free trial period will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Trial eligibility is limited to one per user.

Refunds

Refund requests should be directed to the respective app store (Apple or Google), as we do not process payments directly.

7. Intellectual Property

The Grid Genius name, logo, design, and software are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without our written permission.

Puzzles you create using the Service are for personal use. You may share puzzles through the app's built-in sharing features.

8. Leaderboards & Display Names

Your display name and puzzle completion data may be visible to other users through leaderboards and shared puzzles. By using these features, you consent to this public display. We reserve the right to remove inappropriate display names.

We aim to keep Grid Genius available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice. We are not liable for any loss resulting from service interruptions.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Grid Genius and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time through the app settings or by contacting us. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes through the app or by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, and if necessary, through binding arbitration.
