Terms of Use
The short version: Halfword is a party game for friends in one room. It comes as it is, with no account and no guarantees. Play kindly: being voted out is part of the game, not a verdict on anyone.
Who we are and what these terms cover
Halfword is a party game app for iPhone and Android made by Mikita Iwanowski (“we”, “us”). These terms cover the app and this website. By using either, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use them.
A game, provided as is
We provide Halfword “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, reliability or fitness for a particular purpose. We don’t promise that it will work without interruptions or errors, that every word pair is fair or well chosen, or that it will stay available.
Playing together
Halfword is meant for people playing together in the same room. Describing, suspecting and voting each other out is the game, so keep it friendly, and don’t use it to embarrass or pressure anyone. You are responsible for the player names you type in. Mr. Meme asks someone to describe with gestures only: nobody has to do anything they aren’t comfortable with.
Word packs
The app comes with English and German word packs that we write for each language. We may change, add or remove word pairs at any time, and a new version of the app may bring new packs.
Playing on several phones
This applies once multi-device play ships. It isn’t in the app yet.
When several phones join one table, they connect over your local network or, when they can’t, through a relay that we run on Cloudflare. We offer the relay as is: we may limit, change or stop it at any time, for example to protect it from abuse. Without it, the game still works on one phone.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the app or this website. Nothing in these terms limits a liability that the law does not allow to be limited, or takes away your rights as a consumer.
Other services and names
If you got the app from the App Store or Google Play, Apple’s or Google’s terms for that store apply too. Halfword is an independent game based on the party game Undercover. It isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of any other Undercover game, or by Apple or Google.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll post the new version on this page with a new effective date. If you keep using the app after that, the updated terms apply.
