Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that puzzles will be available on any particular schedule.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another country whose laws give you the right to bring claims in your home courts or under your local consumer protection laws, nothing in these Terms takes away those rights.

- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection claims.

- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you in the app or on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
General
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
