Terms and Conditions

Wordsprout · Last updated: 24 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Henok Tasissa, an individual ("we", "us"), about your use of Wordsprout ("the app"). By installing or playing the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app. If you download the app from the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where the two differ, Apple's terms take precedence for iOS users.

1. Who may use the app

The app is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the app only with the permission of a parent or guardian, who is responsible for any purchases made on the device. You must comply with the laws that apply to you when using the app.

2. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and play the app on devices you own or control, for your own entertainment. We keep all rights in the app, including its levels, word selections, artwork, characters, sounds and code. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse engineer or extract any part of the app, except where the law allows it despite this restriction.

3. Coins, hints and other virtual items

• Coins, hints, letter tiles, stickers, costumes and other in-game items are a limited license to use features inside the app. They have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything of value, and cannot be transferred to anyone else.
• We may change how items are earned, how much they cost, or what they do, to keep the game balanced.
• Items and progress are stored on your device. If you delete the app, reset your device or switch devices, they may be lost, and we cannot restore them. Purchases of Remove Ads can be restored through "Restore purchases" in the Shop; coins that were already spent cannot.

4. Purchases and refunds

In-app purchases are sold and billed by the Apple App Store or Google Play, under their terms. Prices are shown in the store before you buy and may vary by country and include taxes. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies; we cannot issue refunds ourselves. Digital items are delivered immediately, and all purchases are final once delivered, except where the law or the store's policy says otherwise. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have by law, including any right to cancel or withdraw from a purchase, which the store applies where it exists.

5. Advertising and third-party services

The app is free to play and supported by ads from Google AdMob. Some ads are optional rewarded videos you choose to watch; others appear between levels. Buying Remove Ads stops the ads between levels. The app also uses services from Apple, Google, RevenueCat and PostHog. Those companies, and the advertisers whose ads are shown, are independent of us. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, products, practices or availability, and any dealings you have with them, including by tapping an ad, are between you and them. See the Privacy Policy for how data is used.

6. Fair play

You agree not to tamper with the app, its saved data or its purchases, use cheats, bots or automation, interfere with how ads or purchases work, or use the app in any unlawful way. We may stop the app from working for you if you do.

7. Word content

The app's word lists are built from public dictionaries and other sources, and are filtered to remove offensive words. The filtering is automated and imperfect. If a word slips through or a valid word is missing, email us and we will review it. We do not guarantee that every word in the game is appropriate, correct or accepted in every region, dialect or spelling.

8. Feedback

If you send us feedback or ideas, you agree that we may use them to improve the app without paying you or crediting you. Please do not send personal or confidential information in feedback emails.

9. Updates and availability

We may update, change or discontinue the app or any of its features at any time, with or without notice. We are not obliged to keep the app available or compatible with new devices and operating systems, though we try to.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE APP WILL BE FREE OF BUGS, THAT PROGRESS WILL NEVER BE LOST, OR THAT ADS OR PURCHASES WILL ALWAYS WORK.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROGRESS, VIRTUAL ITEMS, DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY MIGHT OCCUR. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US THROUGH THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR US $50 IF YOU PAID NOTHING.

Some places do not allow certain exclusions or limits, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for rights that consumers have by law. Where that is the case, those exclusions and limits apply only to the extent the law allows, and your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

12. Indemnity

To the extent allowed by law, you agree to defend and reimburse us for claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your breach of these terms or your unlawful use of the app.

13. Ending your use

You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms. Sections that by their nature should continue, including those on ownership, disclaimers, liability and governing law, continue after your use ends.

14. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before starting any legal claim, please email us and give us 30 days to try to resolve it. Subject to any mandatory rights you have where you live, claims must be brought in the courts located in the District of Columbia, and you and we consent to those courts. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another place with mandatory consumer protection, you keep the benefit of the consumer laws and courts of the country where you live.

15. General

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the store's own terms, are the whole agreement between you and us about the app. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours as part of a sale or reorganization. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of Apple's EULA terms for iOS users. You also agree not to use the app in a country or by a person subject to a trade embargo or sanctions that apply to us.

16. Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Continuing to play after that means you accept the new terms.
