Terms of Service

Independent project

Varthaigal is an independent Tamil word game. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or otherwise officially connected with Wordle, The New York Times Company, or the makers of any other third-party word game. References to other products identify those products only; their names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Using Varthaigal

These terms apply to your use of Varthaigal, a Tamil daily word game. By using the service, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please stop using it. The Privacy Policy explains how information is handled.

Permission to play

You may access and use the website for personal, noncommercial enjoyment and learning, subject to these terms. You remain responsible for your device, internet connection, and any associated charges. The current service does not require an account or payment.

Fair and responsible use

Do not interfere with the website, attempt unauthorized access, distribute malicious code, or make automated requests that disrupt the service. Do not misrepresent an association with Varthaigal. Public puzzle endpoints are provided to support normal use of the game; their availability does not grant permission to overload or exploit the infrastructure.

Content and ownership

Varthaigal branding, original interface elements, and original content remain the property of their respective rights holders. Third-party software, fonts, and reference material remain subject to their own licenses. These terms do not claim exclusive ownership of Tamil words, language, facts, or material in the public domain, and do not restrict uses permitted by law.

Puzzles and reference material

Puzzles and accompanying explanations are provided for entertainment and general learning. Words, spellings, clues, and reference material may contain errors or reflect different language conventions. We may correct content or change puzzle availability. External links are provided for convenience; we do not control those websites or their content.

Made with AI assistance and community creativity

Varthaigal is a small, independent project, not a large company. We use AI tools to help write code, and some images used in the project are generated with AI. These tools help us build with limited resources. AI-assisted work can contain mistakes, and we remain responsible for reviewing and improving what we publish.

We also welcome original images and illustrations from people who would like to contribute to Varthaigal. Please share only work you created or have permission to offer. Before using a contribution, we will agree with its creator on permission, how it may be used, and how they would like to be credited. Offering artwork does not automatically transfer ownership to us.

Availability and changes

We may change, pause, or discontinue features, or restrict access to protect the service from misuse. Daily puzzles may be delayed or unavailable because of maintenance, publishing issues, network problems, or timezone differences. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or preservation of gameplay progress.

Disclaimers and responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available, without a guarantee that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses resulting from use of the service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits mandatory consumer rights.

Updates to these terms

We may revise these terms as the service evolves. The date above shows the latest revision. Updated terms apply prospectively, subject to any notice or consent required by law. Your statutory rights continue to apply.
