Terms of Service for Griddle

Effective Date: May 4, 2026

Last Updated: May 4, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you and Cryptology LLC ("Cryptology", "we", "us", or "our") and govern your use of the Griddle mobile application and any related services we provide (collectively, the "App"). These Terms apply to your use of the App on Apple iOS, Google Android, and any other platform on which the App is made available.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction (typically 13 in the United States, 16 in the European Economic Area, or older where local law requires). The App is rated 4+ and contains general-audience advertising. If you are a parent or guardian and your child uses the App, you are responsible for their use and accept these Terms on their behalf.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2. License to Use the App

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use only.

The App is licensed, not sold, to you. We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App, including all intellectual property rights. No rights are granted to you other than those expressly set forth in these Terms.

3. Restrictions

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

4. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

4.1 Griddle Pro Subscription

The App offers an optional subscription, "Griddle Pro," that removes advertisements and unlocks additional features. The subscription is offered as monthly and annual plans.

Pricing. The current price for each plan is displayed at the time of purchase within the App and the applicable platform store. Prices may vary by country, currency, and over time, and we reserve the right to change pricing at any time. Price changes will not affect subscription periods you have already paid for; if a price changes, the new price will apply to subsequent billing periods after appropriate notice required by applicable law.

Payment. All payments are processed exclusively by Apple (for iOS) or Google (for Android) using the payment method on file with your platform account. We do not directly process or store your payment information.

Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current period. Apple and Google notify you of upcoming renewals and any pricing changes via the App Store or Google Play. Some jurisdictions, such as California, require additional notice or affirmative consent before renewal; those requirements supersede this Section to the extent they apply to you.

Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your platform account settings:

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will continue to have access to Griddle Pro features until the end of the period for which you have already paid.

Free Trials and Promotions. Where offered, free trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions at the end of the trial period unless canceled before the trial ends. Promotional pricing applies only for the period specified at the time of offer; standard pricing applies thereafter.

EU Consumer Right of Withdrawal. If you are a consumer in the European Union or another jurisdiction with a statutory right of withdrawal, you generally have the right to withdraw from a distance contract for digital content within 14 days. By initiating a subscription through the App Store or Google Play Store, you expressly consent to the immediate supply of digital content and acknowledge that you may lose this right of withdrawal once the content is supplied. Apple's and Google's refund policies (see Section 4.2) may still apply.

Taxes. Subscription prices may be inclusive or exclusive of applicable taxes (such as VAT, GST, or sales tax) depending on your jurisdiction and the platform store's billing rules. Apple and Google determine and remit applicable taxes for transactions through the App Store and Google Play Store, respectively.

4.2 Refunds

All refund requests are governed by the policies of the platform from which you purchased the subscription:

We do not have direct authority over refunds processed by Apple or Google. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all sales are final.

5. Advertisements

The free version of the App displays advertisements served by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdMob. Advertisements are governed by the privacy and content policies of the advertising network. We do not control the specific advertisements displayed and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, opinions, or practices of any advertiser. Your interactions with advertisers, including payments and delivery of goods or services, are solely between you and the advertiser.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Intellectual Property

The App and all content within it, including software code, designs, graphics, text, audio, animations, trademarks, logos, and the compilation thereof, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The clue and answer database used in the App is original work created by us and is similarly protected.

You may not use any of our trademarks, trade names, service marks, or logos without our prior written consent.

6.2 Feedback and User Content

If you submit comments, suggestions, or feedback about the App ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate the Feedback for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you.

Any other content you submit through the App or in support communications (collectively, "User Content") is your responsibility. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit User Content and that it does not infringe the rights of any third party or violate any law. We may remove or refuse to display User Content that we believe violates these Terms or applicable law.

6.3 Copyright Infringement (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask that users do the same. If you believe that material available through the App infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to contact@cryptologyapps.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice." Your notice must include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it; (iv) your contact information; (v) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Counter-notifications may be submitted to the same address with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice" and must include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). We may terminate the access of users we determine to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

7. Updates and Changes to the App

We may, in our sole discretion, modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature thereof at any time, with or without notice. We may release updates that change the functionality, design, performance, or content of the App. By using the App, you consent to receive these updates automatically.

We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App or any feature thereof.

8. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy explains what information is handled by the App and how. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE, OUR AFFILIATES, AND OUR LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (B) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (C) THE APP IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR (D) THE APP WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE, OUR AFFILIATES, OR OUR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE APP, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OR EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT MANDATORY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS IN YOUR JURISDICTION DO NOT PERMIT TO BE EXCLUDED. IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, THE UNITED KINGDOM, OR ANOTHER JURISDICTION WITH MANDATORY CONSUMER PROTECTIONS, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS REDUCES YOUR STATUTORY RIGHTS.

11. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any rights of any third party; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or regulation.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

12. Children's Use

The App is rated 4+ and is intended for general audiences. The App is not directed at children under the age of thirteen (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The App contains general-audience advertising; if you are a parent or guardian and want to provide a fully advertising-free experience, the optional Griddle Pro subscription removes all advertisements.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App in a way that concerns you, please contact us at contact@cryptologyapps.com.

13. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated by you or by us.

By you. You may terminate these Terms at any time by uninstalling the App and ceasing all use.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including for violation of these Terms.

Effect. Upon termination: (a) your license to use the App ends immediately; (b) you must cease all use of the App and delete all copies in your possession; and (c) Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 19, and 22 of these Terms will survive termination.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

If you are a consumer located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction whose law mandates that consumer disputes be governed by local law, the foregoing will not deprive you of the protection of mandatory local law.

15. Dispute Resolution

15.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at contact@cryptologyapps.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We agree to do the same. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of the first such notice, either party may pursue formal resolution as described below.

15.2 Binding Arbitration (United States Residents)

If you reside in the United States, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, that cannot be resolved informally, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Sheridan County, Wyoming, or by video conference at the parties' agreement, or at another mutually agreeable location. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding.

Severability of Class Action Waiver. If the Class Action Waiver above is held unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy (including, for example, a claim for public injunctive relief under California law), that specific claim or remedy will be severed from the arbitration agreement and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, while all other claims will remain subject to binding individual arbitration. The unenforceability of the Class Action Waiver as to one claim does not invalidate the arbitration agreement or the Class Action Waiver as to any other claim.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver by sending written notice to contact@cryptologyapps.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your full name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. Either party may also seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.

Costs of Arbitration. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, including the provisions limiting the fees consumers must pay. To the extent those Rules require us to pay arbitrator or administrative fees beyond the consumer filing fee, we will pay those fees. We will not seek attorneys' fees or arbitration costs from you unless the arbitrator finds that your claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, and in that case only as the AAA Rules and applicable law allow.

15.3 Outside the United States

If you reside outside the United States, the arbitration provisions in Section 15.2 do not apply if they are unenforceable under the mandatory laws of your jurisdiction. In that case, disputes will be resolved in the courts of the State of Wyoming or, where required by local law, in the courts of your country of residence.

16. Apple-Specific Provisions

The following provisions apply if you obtained the App through the Apple App Store:

Acknowledgment. These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. or any of its subsidiaries ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.

Scope of License. The license granted in Section 2 is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

Maintenance and Support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.

Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App, if any, paid to Apple. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.

Product Claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

Intellectual Property Rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Third-Party Beneficiary. You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Apple Media Services Terms. Your use of the App on Apple devices is also subject to Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, which are available in the App Store and on Apple's website. To the extent those terms apply to your use of the App, you agree to comply with them.

17. Google Play-Specific Provisions

The following provisions apply if you obtained the App through the Google Play Store:

Distribution. The App is distributed through the Google Play Store and is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. We are responsible for the App and its content; Google is not.

Subscription Management. Subscription billing, renewal, and cancellation are handled through your Google account.

Compliance. You agree to comply with the Google Play Terms of Service and any other applicable terms imposed by Google in connection with your use of the App.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms reflects the most recent revision. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the App, by email (where applicable), or by other reasonable means before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any modified Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modifications. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the App.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision will be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The parties will negotiate in good faith to replace the severed provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves, to the extent possible, the original economic and legal intent.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms or policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral, or written.

21. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms at any time without notice to you. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.

22. Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by us.

23. Notices

We may provide notices to you through the App, by email to any address you provide, or by posting on our website. You may provide notices to us at the contact information below. Notices are effective upon receipt.

24. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, labor disputes, pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, or third-party service outages. Our obligations are suspended for the duration of the event and resume when the event ends.

25. Electronic Communications

By using the App, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Your electronic acceptance of these Terms (whether by tapping a button, installing the App, or otherwise interacting with it) constitutes a binding agreement between you and us.

26. Accessibility

We strive to make the App accessible to users with disabilities, including by following platform-level accessibility guidelines such as Apple's accessibility programming guidelines and Google's Android Accessibility Suite. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please contact us at contact@cryptologyapps.com with a description of the barrier so we can address it.
