Terms of Service & Privacy

Effective Date: June 2, 2026

This document constitutes a binding legal agreement governing the use of the WordBlockz application across web and mobile deployments. WordBlockz is owned and operated by Ocean Beach Arts (referred to herein as "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing, installing, or interacting with WordBlockz, you express consent to these terms.

PART 1: PRIVACY POLICY

This policy details our alignment with international privacy benchmarks, including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) outlined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Google Play Developer Policies.

1.1 Collection of Personal Data

1.2 Local Storage Mechanics

To retain game functionality, structural records are maintained locally on your hardware storage via standard web-browser cache configurations (Local Storage). This tracking isolates data strictly to your device and records:

• Current active daily game state matrix configurations.
• Historic game scoring analytics, personal high-score benchmarks, and streak milestones.
• Local validation variables assessing premium feature eligibility status.

Note on Erasure: Clearing your device's browser cache data or local application sandbox storage permanently removes these statistics. This data is entirely user-controlled and cannot be restored remotely by us.

1.3 Third-Party Frameworks & System Integration

While the game logic stays local, external data transactions are strictly constrained to the following parameters:

• Dictionary File Validation: The game fetches dictionary records from external open-source repositories to verify spelling structures. No player telemetry metadata is combined or sent during this standard lookup sequence.
• Google Play Billing API: When run within the Google Play packaging wrapper, initialization workflows leverage standard system protocols to evaluate license state structures. These payment parameters are isolated and securely processed natively through Google Play.

1.4 International Data Rights (GDPR & APP Compliance)

Because your user records never land on our infrastructure, rights regarding access, porting, adjustment, or systemic deletion (the "Right to be Forgotten") are fully actionable by you directly. Clearing the system application state on your local OS sandbox handles your personal legal data right execution natively.

1.5 Child-Friendly Safeguards

To support safe, distraction-free environments, WordBlockz includes an optional "Child-Friendly Mode". When activated, this mode algorithmically suppresses all outbound social sharing pathways, clipboard interactions, and financial interfaces (including Google Play trial offers and external payment gateways). Activation status is maintained strictly via local variables on the device and does not trigger any remote telemetry or age-profiling data collection.

PART 2: TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2.1 License Grant & Restrictions

Ocean Beach Arts grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable revocable license to interact with WordBlockz for personal, non-commercial entertainment. You expressly agree not to redistribute, decompile, deconstruct compilation frameworks, or programmatically exploit game dictionaries or mechanics using automation toolsets, bots, or third-party cheating scripts.

2.2 Premium Accounts & Financial Operations

Financial transactions covering the subscription framework (7-Day Trial transitioning to a recurring $1.00 AUD/Year billing cycle) are handled exclusively via the Google Play Commerce network.

• Trial Management: Free evaluation scopes expire explicitly after 7 days, automatically triggering the primary billing lifecycle through your configured payment details.
• Cancellation Protocols: Users retain absolute autonomy to cancel subscription structures at any time via their Google Play Subscription Management terminal. Cancellations must be logged prior to renewal targets to halt recurring charges.
• Refund Frameworks: Refund requests must navigate standard Google Play customer support channels and are governed by Google's transactional policies.

2.3 Consumer Guarantees (Australian Consumer Law)

For players navigating our platform within Australia, our services carry statutory consumer protections that cannot be legally sidestepped under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth). Nothing within these structural terms operates to restrict or modify standard statutory consumer rights covering system rendering, operational stability, or fundamental utility fit for purpose.

2.4 International Disclaimer & Limitations of Liability

Outside the boundaries of explicit statutory protections, WordBlockz is delivered "As-Is" and "As-Available". Ocean Beach Arts disclaims all warranties, implied or explicit, regarding operational uptimes, temporary connectivity interruptions to external assets, or localized software storage preservation variables. To the maximum threshold permitted by law, we decline liability for any incidental, secondary, or hardware-specific damages linked to app utilization errors.

2.5 Jurisdiction & Dispute Resolution

These legal structures are governed and structured under the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any formal legal mediation, resolution frameworks, or legal disputes tied directly to app functionality fallback parameters will be addressed within the jurisdiction of courts in New South Wales.

2.6 Updates to Legal Documentation

We reserve absolute rights to amend this framework as international compliance mandates or local consumer laws change. Continued use of WordBlockz following published modifications constitutes binding acceptance of modified terms.

2.7 Contact Frameworks
