Terms of Service

Play fair. Keep the pond fun.

These terms are intentionally human-readable. They explain the basic expectations for playing Sliding Tiles and joining the leaderboard.

Use of the service

Sliding Tiles is provided for people who want to play, improve, and compete in sliding tile puzzles. Use the service in a way that respects other players and keeps the game enjoyable.

User accounts

You are responsible for your account activity and for keeping your sign-in details private. Choose a username and profile details that are appropriate for a shared game space.

Leaderboards and rankings

Leaderboards are part of the competitive experience. Scores may be recalculated, hidden, or removed if they appear broken, duplicated, abusive, or unfair.

Fair play

Do not cheat, automate gameplay, exploit bugs, tamper with requests, or interfere with other players. Report issues if you find something that could affect competitive fairness.

Availability of the service

Sliding Tiles may change, pause, or go offline while the game is being improved, maintained, or repaired. We will try to keep interruptions reasonable for an indie project.

Intellectual property

Project-owned Sliding Tiles application code is available under AGPL-3.0-only. Third-party assets and dependencies keep their own license terms. The Sliding Tiles name, branding, and official service identity may not be used in a way that suggests you own or operate the official project.

Limitation of liability

Sliding Tiles is provided as-is. We are not responsible for indirect losses, lost progress, or service interruptions beyond what applicable law requires.

Changes to the service

The game and these terms may evolve as Sliding Tiles grows. Continued use after updates means you accept the current version of the service.
