Terms of Use

1Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Generic Bytes for using Lafz. By downloading or using Lafz, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

2Who can use Lafz

You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the law where you live requires it. If you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission, especially before making purchases.

3Your licence to use the app

We give you a personal, non-commercial, non-transferable licence to use Lafz on devices you own or control, following the rules of the store you downloaded it from. You may not copy, sell, rent, modify or reverse engineer the app, except where the law allows it.

4Accounts

An account is optional. If you create one, keep your sign-in details safe; you are responsible for what happens under your account. As a guest, your progress is stored only on your phone and is lost if you delete the app. You can delete your account at any time.

5Hints, Remove Ads and payments

• Hints are virtual items. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be transferred. When you buy hints you get a licence to use them in Lafz, not ownership.
• Remove Ads is a one-time purchase that turns off interstitial and banner ads. Optional rewarded videos remain available. It is tied to your App Store or Google Play account and can be restored there.
• Payments are handled by Apple or Google. Prices are shown in the store before you buy. Refunds follow Apple's and Google's refund policies, except where the law gives you other rights.
• If a technical error gives you items you didn't pay for, or removes items you did pay for, we may correct your balance.
• Lafz has no subscriptions.

6Ads

Lafz is free because it shows ads from third parties. We are not responsible for the products or services advertised. Your ad choices are explained in the Privacy Policy.

7Fair play

• Don't cheat, use bots or automate gameplay.
• Don't try to extract, scrape or publish the answer lists or upcoming daily words.
• Don't interfere with the app, our servers or other players, or try to get around purchases or ads.
• Don't use Lafz for anything unlawful.

8Words and content

The game, its design, puzzles, name and logo belong to Generic Bytes or our licensors. The English word lists are built from public-domain sources, including ENABLE and 12dicts. Word meanings may come from WordNet.

We pick words carefully, but if you think a word is wrong or inappropriate, use Report this word on the result screen. We may change or replace words at any time.

If you submit words or meanings to us (for example for the Urdu word list), you give us a free, worldwide, permanent licence to use, edit and publish them in Lafz. We credit contributors only if they ask to be credited.

9Changes to the app

We may update Lafz, add or remove features, change puzzles or stop offering the app. We aim to keep the daily puzzle available every day but can't guarantee it will always be.

10Ending these terms

You can stop using Lafz and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as purchases, content ownership, disclaimers and liability) still apply after the terms end.

11Disclaimers

Lafz is provided "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we make no promises that it will be error-free, uninterrupted or that it will meet your needs.

12Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for lost data, profits or progress. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 10 if you paid nothing. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law.

13Extra terms for the Apple App Store

• These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Lafz or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Lafz.
• If Lafz fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation for Lafz.
• Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to Lafz, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection or intellectual property claims.
• You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US government embargo and are not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

If you downloaded Lafz from Google Play, Google Play's terms of service also apply.

14Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan, and disputes will be handled by the courts of Lahore. If you are a consumer, you also keep any protection given to you by the law of the country where you live.

15Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you in the app. If you keep using Lafz after a change takes effect, the new terms apply.
