Terms of Use & License

What you may do with Cluevora, and what you may do with the puzzles you create using it.

Draft for pre-launch review. Not yet reviewed by a qualified lawyer. Effective date: [TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE LAUNCH — effective date]

Cluevora is a brand and product of [TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE LAUNCH — legal owner / business entity] (“we”, “us”). These terms apply to everyone who accesses or uses Cluevora.

1. Accepting these terms

By purchasing, accessing or using Cluevora you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Cluevora.

2. Your account and your responsibility

Access is granted to the person who purchased it. You are responsible for everything done through your access, and for keeping your login details to yourself.

You must be old enough to enter a binding contract where you live, and you must be permitted to use Cluevora under the laws that apply to you.

3. Your licence to use Cluevora

While your paid access is valid, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use Cluevora to create puzzle content.

This is a licence to use the software. It is not a sale of the software and it transfers no ownership in it.

4. What you may do commercially with what you create

Every paid Cluevora plan includes commercial-use rights for the output you generate. There is no separate “commercial licence” tier, and no extra fee, to publish and sell what you make.

Using output you validly generated while your paid access was active, you may:

  • create puzzle books, activity books and printable books;
  • sell those books, in print or digital form;
  • publish them on Amazon KDP and on other publishing platforms and marketplaces;
  • include them in printed physical products you sell;
  • modify, arrange, brand and typeset them as part of your own product.

You keep ownership of the books and other end products you create. We claim no share of your sales and no rights in your finished books.

5. Publishing on Amazon KDP and other marketplaces

Your paid Cluevora licence permits you to use eligible output you generate to create commercial books for Amazon KDP and other publishing or marketplace platforms.

We do not guarantee that any marketplace will accept your book. You are responsible for complying with each platform’s content policies, metadata and disclosure rules, intellectual-property rules, and any rules that apply to generated or assisted content.

Cluevora is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Amazon or any other marketplace. Marketplace names are used only to describe where you may publish.

6. What stays ours

Cluevora — the software, the puzzle engine, the page designs, the bundled artwork, the name and the branding — remains ours. Nothing in these terms transfers it to you.

7. The artwork included with Cluevora

Cluevora includes artwork we created for it: suspect portraits, evidence and landmark objects, floor textures and symbols.

You may use that artwork as it appears inside pages you generate, and sell the resulting books, exactly as described in clause 4. That is ordinary book production and it is permitted.

You may not, however:

  • extract the artwork and sell, licence or give it away as standalone image files;
  • assemble it into an asset pack, clip-art set or template library;
  • redistribute it other than as part of a finished end product you created;
  • use it to build or train a competing product or asset collection.

In short: the artwork travels inside your books. It does not travel on its own.

8. Your projects and project files

Your project — the cases you generate and the book you assemble — is yours. Under the current version, it is stored in your own browser, and you can back it up to a project file at any time from the Studio.

Project files are for your own use: backup, moving between your own computers, and recovery. A project file contains our bundled content, so sharing or selling project files as a way of distributing that content to other people is not permitted. Sharing a finished book you created is.

9. What you may not do with Cluevora itself

You may not:

  • resell, rent, lease, sublicense or redistribute Cluevora;
  • share your access, login details or licence with anyone else;
  • provide shared or group access to people who have not purchased;
  • copy, sell or publish the Cluevora source code;
  • clone, white-label or rebrand Cluevora as your own product;
  • circumvent access controls, or use automated means to extract the software, its content libraries or its engine;
  • use Cluevora unlawfully, or to produce unlawful material.

10. Generated content is not exclusive to you

Cluevora builds each case procedurally from shared systems, shared artwork and shared name libraries. Cases are generated from a seed, so the same settings and seed reproduce the same case.

We therefore do not promise that any generated case, layout, name, clue or combination is unique to you worldwide, and another customer may receive similar elements. We grant no exclusivity over the underlying systems, templates, artwork or mechanics.

What is yours is the book you build and publish — your selection, arrangement, branding and presentation.

11. Reviewing your work before you publish

You are responsible for reviewing anything you publish. That includes checking the puzzle reads as you intend, that the artwork and wording suit your audience, and that your book meets the rules of wherever you sell it.

If you add your own material — covers, titles, artwork, text — you are responsible for having the rights to use it.

12. Availability, changes and updates

We may update, change or discontinue features. We may need to interrupt access for maintenance or for reasons outside our control. We do not promise uninterrupted availability.

13. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access if you materially breach these terms — for example by sharing access or redistributing the software or its artwork — or if a payment for your access is reversed, disputed or charged back.

14. What survives if your access ends

This is the important distinction, and we want it to be unambiguous.

Your access to the Cluevora software lasts as long as your plan does. When it ends, you stop being able to use the Studio.

Your commercial rights to output you validly generated while your paid access was active do not expire. Books you already created remain yours to keep selling. Ending or cancelling a plan does not make books you have already published unlawful, and does not require you to withdraw them.

The exception is output obtained through fraud, unauthorised access, a reversed or charged-back payment, or a material breach of these terms. Rights in that output do not survive, because the access that produced it was not validly held.

15. Payment, and sales being final

Purchases may be handled by a third-party checkout platform, which has its own terms and its own record of your transaction.

Cluevora is a digital product and access is delivered immediately after purchase. All sales are final once access has been granted, and we do not offer change-of-mind refunds, except where a refund is required by applicable law or by the rules of the payment or checkout platform used for your purchase. This applies to every Cluevora product and every upgrade or additional offer, unless a particular offer states otherwise in writing at the point of sale. See our Refund Policy.

Nothing here removes rights you have that cannot legally be waived.

16. Disputes and chargebacks

A payment dispute or chargeback is not the same as asking us for a refund, and it is decided by your bank or payment provider rather than by us.

If a payment for your access is reversed, disputed or charged back, we may end your access to Cluevora. Please contact us first — most problems are quicker to solve directly.

17. No warranties

Cluevora is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranties about fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or commercial results. We do not promise that any book you create will be accepted by a marketplace or that it will sell.

Nothing here excludes any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

18. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to Cluevora is limited to the amount you paid us for access in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for lost profits, lost sales, lost data or indirect or consequential loss.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits. Where that is the case, they apply only so far as the law allows, and nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

19. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE LAUNCH — governing law & venue], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Where mandatory consumer law in your country of residence gives you additional protection, that protection continues to apply.

20. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we will make the updated version available here with a new effective date. Continuing to use Cluevora after that means you accept the updated terms.
