Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Chrono-Shift ("we", "us") about using Chrono-Shift. By playing, creating an account or subscribing, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

1. The service

Chrono-Shift is a daily history puzzle: put historical events in chronological order. It also includes other modes, such as Eras and Higher or Lower, as well as history timelines. The daily puzzle is free to play, with or without an account. Some features, such as the puzzle archive, are part of the paid Chrono-Shift+ subscription.

We may add, change or remove features over time. We try to keep the site available, but we can't promise it will always be online or error-free.

2. Accounts

• You must be 13 or older to create an account. Younger players can play as guests.
• Give us accurate details and keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One person per account. Don't share or sell accounts.
• You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.

3. Chrono-Shift+ subscription

• Chrono-Shift+ is billed monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you choose. The price is shown before you pay.
• When you subscribe, we ask you to confirm that you want your subscription (including any free trial) to start immediately, and that you understand this means you lose the EU/UK 14-day right to cancel once it starts. We record that confirmation and when you gave it. You can still cancel at any time to stop future payments. See our Refund Policy for details.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, and we charge the payment method on file, until you cancel.
• You can cancel at any time from the billing portal (Manage billing). When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you won't be charged again.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.
• If we change the price, we will tell you before it applies, and the new price takes effect from your next renewal. You can cancel before then.
• Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

4. Acceptable use

Please play fair and be kind. You agree not to:

• use bots, scripts or automated tools to play, scrape the site or flood it with requests;
• try to break, overload or get around the security of the service, or access accounts or data that aren't yours;
• use names that are offensive, impersonate someone or contain other people's personal details;
• copy, resell or republish the puzzles or the site in bulk without our permission;
• use the service for anything unlawful.

5. Content accuracy

We work hard to get the history right, but Chrono-Shift is a game, not a reference work. Dates, descriptions and facts may contain errors or simplifications, and historians sometimes disagree. Please don't rely on the game for academic or professional purposes. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we'll fix it.

6. Our content

The puzzles, design, logo and code belong to us or our licensors. You may play, share your results and link to the site. Anything else, such as copying puzzles in bulk, needs our permission.

7. Liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost streaks, lost data or lost profits, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (or £10 / $10 if you haven't paid anything).

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, you keep all the rights that consumer law gives you.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We'll change the date at the top and, for significant changes, let account holders know. If you keep using Chrono-Shift after a change, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, you can cancel and delete your account.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the country where Chrono-Shift is based. If you are a consumer, you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live and rely on its mandatory consumer protections.
