Acceptance of these terms
By using WordSensei (whether as a guest or registered user), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please stop using the service. It's that straightforward.
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of WordSensei ("the Service"), operated by the WordSensei team ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using any part of WordSensei, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses or uses the Service, whether or not they have created an account.
What WordSensei is
WordSensei is a free, online vocabulary learning platform offering word games, educational resources, and a points-based reward system. Our goal is to help non-native English speakers improve their vocabulary through interactive, game-based learning.
The core platform (including all vocabulary games) is free to use and supported by advertising. We reserve the right to introduce paid features, subscriptions, or premium options in the future. If and when we do, we will clearly label them and give you the choice to opt in.
We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We won't be liable to you or any third party for any such modification or interruption.
Who can use WordSensei
You may use WordSensei as a guest (without an account) regardless of age. However, to create an account, you must be at least 13 years old or have verifiable parental or guardian consent.
If you are under 13, you may not create a WordSensei account without verifiable parental consent. A parent or guardian must register on your behalf. If we discover that an account has been created by someone under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 13 years old, or that a parent or guardian has consented on your behalf. You also agree that all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate.
Your account
WordSensei accounts are created via third-party OAuth providers (currently Google and X/Twitter). We do not store passwords. By connecting a third-party account, you authorise us to access the basic profile information that provider shares with us.
- You are responsible for keeping your account secure. Do not share your login credentials.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You may not create more than one account per person. Duplicate accounts may be removed.
- You may delete your account at any time by contacting us at contact.wordsensei@gmail.com.
- We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at contact.wordsensei@gmail.com.
Acceptable use
WordSensei is a learning platform. We want it to be a safe and fair environment for everyone. You agree not to:
- Use automated tools, bots, scripts, or any other means to artificially inflate your scores, points, or game results
- Attempt to access, tamper with, or disrupt our servers, databases, or other infrastructure
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service
- Use the Service to transmit spam, malware, or other harmful content
- Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
- Engage in any conduct that is unlawful, abusive, harassing, or harmful to others
- Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technical restrictions or security measures
- Scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Service without express written permission
We reserve the right to investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action, including removing content, suspending access, or reporting to law enforcement where appropriate.
Points, streaks, and rewards
WordSensei includes a points system where users earn points by playing games and maintaining daily streaks. Points may be redeemable for rewards (such as GCash credits) where this feature is available.
Points and rewards have no cash value and are not transferable. They are granted at our discretion and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice. Points obtained through fraudulent activity (e.g. bots, exploits) will be forfeited and your account may be suspended.
- Points are earned through legitimate gameplay only, not through exploits, bugs, or automated tools
- Reward availability, eligibility thresholds, and redemption processes may change over time
- We reserve the right to deny or reverse a reward redemption if we suspect abuse
- Points do not expire while your account is active, but will be forfeited if your account is deleted or terminated
Intellectual property
All content on WordSensei, including but not limited to game mechanics, vocabulary content, blog posts, educational resources, graphics, and branding, is owned by or licensed to WordSensei and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws.
You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, or exploit any part of the Service without our express written consent, except as permitted under applicable law (e.g. fair use).

No warranties
WordSensei is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:
- Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement
- That the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components
- That the vocabulary content or educational resources are accurate, complete, or current
- That any errors or defects will be corrected
We make no warranty that the Service will meet your requirements or that results obtained through the Service will be accurate or reliable. Your use of the Service is entirely at your own risk.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, WordSensei and its team members shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service.
This includes, without limitation, loss of data, loss of points or rewards, loss of profits, or any other loss or damage, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (which, for most users, will be zero, since WordSensei is free).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above limitations may not apply.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or via an in-app notice when you next log in.
Continuing to use WordSensei after updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you don't agree with the updated Terms, please stop using the Service and, if applicable, delete your account.
Governing law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
