Terms of Service

Last updated: 01.06.2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between Hållingwood A/S (“Hållingwood”, “we”, “us”) and you (“you”, “the user”) governing your use of the mobile game Wordnerd 3D and any related services we provide (together, the “Service”).

By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.

1. Who we are and how to contact us

Hållingwood A/S
Mørkved 39,
7877 Høylandet
Norway
Org. no.: 924754303

Contact: wordnerdsupport@hållingwood.no

2. Your right to use the Service

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to install and use the Service on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.

You do not acquire any ownership rights in the Service. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

3. Your account

To play multiplayer games, you need an account. When you create one, you agree to:

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your country, you confirm that your parent or guardian has consented to your use of the Service.

4. Rules of conduct

When using the Service, you agree not to:

  1. Use offensive, hateful, harassing, threatening, or sexually explicit usernames or chat messages
  2. Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone
  3. Use cheats, bots, automation tools, modified clients, or any unauthorized software to gain an advantage or interfere with the Service
  4. Exploit bugs, glitches, or unintended behaviour for personal advantage, and not report them to us
  5. Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except where this right cannot be lawfully restricted
  6. Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers, other users’ accounts, or any part of the Service
  7. Disrupt or overload our servers, including through denial-of-service attacks or excessive automated requests
  8. Sell, trade, or transfer your account or Premium entitlement to anyone else
  9. Use the Service to violate any applicable law
  10. Use the Service to harass, stalk, or harm other users

We may, at our discretion, warn, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these rules. For serious or repeated violations, we may do so without prior notice.

5. User content

The Service allows you to submit content, including your username, profile images and the words you play. You retain ownership of anything you submit, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, store, display, and transmit that content as needed to operate the Service.

This licence ends when you delete your account, except for content that has become part of other users’ game histories, which we may retain in anonymized form (see our Privacy Policy).

You are responsible for the content you submit. Do not submit content that infringes anyone else’s rights or violates these Terms.

We may remove content that violates these Terms at our discretion.

6. In-app purchases (Wordnerd Premium)

The Service offers an in-app purchase called Wordnerd Premium, which removes advertisements from the Service. Other features may be added over time.

How purchases work

Right of withdrawal

Under Norwegian and EU consumer law, you generally have a 14-day right to withdraw from a digital purchase. However, by purchasing Wordnerd Premium and immediately using the benefit (such as the removal of advertisements), you expressly consent to the immediate performance of the contract and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun. This is a standard arrangement for digital goods.

Price and availability

Prices are shown in the App Store or Google Play before you complete a purchase. We may change prices for future purchases, but any change does not affect entitlements you have already purchased.

7. Advertising

The free version of the Service shows advertisements served by third parties (currently Google AdMob). These advertisements are subject to the privacy policies and terms of the relevant advertising provider. We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements.

8. Service availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, updates, technical issues, or events outside our control.

We may update, change, or discontinue parts of the Service. We will try to give reasonable notice of significant changes, but some changes (such as bug fixes or security updates) may be made without notice.

If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide reasonable advance notice and, where practical, allow you to export your data.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may delete your account from Settings → Account → Delete Account inside the Service, or by contacting us.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms or for any other lawful reason. Where the reason is not a serious violation, we will give you advance notice where reasonably possible.

After termination, the licences and rights granted to you under these Terms end. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law) remain in effect.

10. Intellectual property

The Service and all materials in it — including the game design, code, graphics, text, sounds, and the Wordnerd name and logo — are owned by Hållingwood or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works based on the Service, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable mandatory law.

If you believe content in the Service infringes your intellectual property rights, contact us at wordnerdsupport@hållingwood.no with details of the alleged infringement.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the Service, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law, including the Norwegian Consumer Purchases Act (Forbrukerkjøpsloven) and equivalent laws in your country of residence.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hållingwood is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) NOK 500.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for death, personal injury, fraud, or gross negligence.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Hållingwood harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. This does not apply where the claim is caused by our own breach or negligence.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Norwegian law, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be brought before the Norwegian courts, with Trøndelag tingrett as the agreed venue.

If you are a consumer resident in the EU or EEA, you also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country apply in addition to Norwegian law.

EU and EEA consumers can find information about out-of-court dispute resolution at the Your Europe consumer portal (https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers) and through national consumer dispute resolution bodies. In Norway, the relevant body is Forbrukertilsynet (https://forbrukertilsynet.no) and, for unresolved complaints, Forbrukerklageutvalget (https://klage.forbrukerradet.no).

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will always be available here.

If you continue using the Service after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, you may stop using the Service and delete your account.
