Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions form a legally binding contract between you and Wordmom. By using our digital reference network, word finders, and web services, you agree to these rules. If you do not agree with them, you must stop using the site immediately.

1. Acceptable Use & System Integrity

Wordmom is for personal, educational, and non-commercial use. Do not scrape our site. You may not use bots, spiders, or automated scripts to harvest our definitions, data, or search indexes.

If you attempt to mass-extract our data for competing apps, automated directories, or AI training without our written permission, we will terminate your access and pursue legal action.

2. Intellectual Property, Third-Party Trademarks & Fair Use

We own our original content, but we do not own the games you play. Our editorial guides, site design, and database structures are protected by copyright and trademark laws. However, we claim no ownership over third-party games.

Nominative Fair Use: When we mention SCRABBLE^®, Words With Friends^®, or Wordle^®, we do so strictly under the doctrine of nominative fair use. We use these names solely to describe whether a word is legally playable in those games.

SCRABBLE^® is a registered trademark; all intellectual property rights in and to the game are owned in the U.S.A. and Canada by Hasbro Inc., and throughout the rest of the world by J.W. Spear & Sons Limited of Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, a subsidiary of Mattel Inc. (Mattel and Spear are not affiliated with Hasbro). Words With Friends^® is a registered trademark of Zynga Inc. Wordle^®, Spelling Bee^®, and Crossplay^® are registered trademarks of The New York Times Company. Wordmom is an independent resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hasbro, Mattel, Spear, Zynga, The New York Times Company, NASPA, WESPA, or HarperCollins Publishers. If you use our data to settle a living room dispute or a tournament match, you do so entirely at your own risk.

3. Disclaimer of Warranties & Content Accuracy

Language changes fast. While we strive for accuracy, we do not guarantee perfection. We provide Wordmom "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." We legally disclaim all implied warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Our editors work hard to keep the database precise, but we cannot promise the site will always be error-free or uninterrupted. Do not rely on Wordmom as a definitive legal or academic authority.

4. Free Reference Utility & Service Availability

Wordmom is a free service. Because you do not pay to use this site, we offer no service-level agreements (SLAs) regarding uptime or feature availability.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or shut down any tool on the platform at any time, without notice and without liability.

5. Advertising, Cookies & Privacy Policy Integration

Running a massive dictionary requires significant resources. We pay for our servers through programmatic advertising.

By using Wordmom, you agree to our Privacy Policy, which explains exactly how we handle cookies, ads, and your data.

6. External Links & Third-Party Content

We occasionally link to external websites and resources. We do not control those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or legal terms. If you click a link and leave Wordmom, you do so at your own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability

Because Wordmom is a free tool, our financial liability is strictly limited. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Wordmom and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or punitive damages (including lost profits or data loss) arising from your use of the site.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim related to these terms will not exceed zero dollars ($0.00), or the absolute minimum required by your local laws.

8. Indemnification

If your unauthorized use of our site or your violation of these terms causes us to face legal action, you agree to defend and indemnify Wordmom. This means you are responsible for covering our legal fees, damages, and associated costs.

9. Informal Dispute Resolution & Class Action Waiver

Informal Resolution: If you have a dispute with Wordmom, you agree to contact us first and attempt to resolve it informally for at least sixty (60) days.

Class Action Waiver: You agree to resolve any disputes with us on an individual basis. You explicitly waive your right to participate in a class-action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, or private attorney general action.

Arbitration: If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, it will be settled by confidential, binding arbitration in English. Operating a global website does not mean we submit to the jurisdiction of foreign courts.

10. Copyright & Intellectual Property Inquiries

We respect intellectual property. If you believe your copyrighted work is being infringed on Wordmom, please contact us immediately with the following details:

• A description of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed.
• The specific URL or location on Wordmom where the allegedly infringing material is located.
• Your contact information, including your full legal name, email address, and telephone number.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Inquiries should be directed to our administrative team via our official Contact Form.
