Myworkingmemory LLC
Meridian Terms of Service
Effective August 22, 2026. Document version 2026-08-22.2. These are supplemental product terms for Meridian; the licence for the app itself is Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement. Please read Section 20: it contains an agreement to resolve most disputes by individual arbitration, a class-action waiver, and a jury-trial waiver, and you may opt out of arbitration within 30 days.
1. Acceptance
These Terms of Service and Supplemental End-User Terms ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Myworkingmemory LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") for Meridian, the myworkingmemory.ai pages for Meridian, support materials, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
Meridian asks for your acceptance before you play. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. You accept by selecting Agree and Continue beneath the statement “By selecting Agree and Continue, you agree to the Meridian Terms of Service and acknowledge the Meridian Privacy Policy.” The same screen provides working links to both documents and summaries of the arbitration and purchase terms. Nothing is pre-selected.
The app records on your device the document version, date and time, locale, screen used, and a hash of the words shown; you can review that record in Settings. If these Terms change materially, the app asks again.
You consent to transact electronically. Your acceptance through that control constitutes electronic assent under applicable electronic-signature law.
2. Definitions
"App" means Meridian. "Company Parties" means Company and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, successors, assigns, and affiliates. "Play Record" means the local guesses, results, streak, mends, level progress, found and bonus words, hints, gems, unlocked themes and marks, recent match results, and settings generated through the App. "User Content" means a shared result grid, support message, feedback, or other material you create, submit, store, or share through or about the Services. "You" means the person who purchases, downloads, accesses, plays, or uses the Services.
3. Product description
Meridian is a word game distributed through the Apple App Store for Apple devices. It provides one five-letter deduction each day and a world of letter puzzles with regions, levels, a daily journey, and timed two-minute matches. It is intended to make a daily word habit pleasant; it does not promise a particular educational, cognitive, health, professional, or life outcome.
- The App is free to download and contains three finished games. A game is counted when a daily word reaches its answer, a World level or Daily Journey stop is finished, or a match reaches its final score. Leaving before a result does not use a game.
- After the third result, further play requires Full Journey, currently configured as a non-consumable in-app purchase at the price Apple shows in your storefront. Progress, library, insights, collection, settings, help, these documents, and Restore Purchase remain available without it.
- In this version, Full Journey unlocks all World levels, Today’s Word each day, every Daily Journey, matches, the library and insights, and access to every earnable reward on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Gems, themes, player marks and tile styles are earned through play.
- If you obtained Meridian before it became a free download, Full Journey is already unlocked in this transition release. The App determines this from Apple’s verified original acquisition record and local paid-build evidence.
- The Play Record remains on your device, and the App provides a setting that deletes it.
- The three-game ledger is kept in the device keychain and, when available, in your own Apple iCloud key-value store. It contains a bounded count and opaque digests, not the words or scores you produced.
- Version 2 migrates the daily results, streak, and mends created by version 1 on the same installation into the new local record. Migration does not transmit the record to Company.
- Company provides no Meridian account, password, game server, public player profile, or in-game chat.
- Apple Game Center is optional and begins off. If you turn it on, the App may use Apple-hosted authentication, matchmaking, leaderboards, and your Game Center display name as described below.
- The App requests no camera, microphone, photos, location, contacts, or tracking permission.
Company may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services, features, offers, prices, platform support or availability as described in these Terms.
4. Apple App Store and license terms
The App is licensed, not sold. The licence for the App is Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement. Company has not adopted a custom end-user licence agreement, and these Terms are not one. They are supplemental product terms that sit alongside Apple’s licence.
These Terms supplement Apple’s license terms and govern your relationship with Company for App use, Game Center features, support, acceptable use, User Content, dispute resolution, privacy-related disclosures, and Company protection. If these Terms conflict with a non-waivable Apple rule applicable to the transaction, Apple’s rule controls for that transaction.
These Terms are between you and Company only, not Apple. Company, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content, except as stated in Apple’s rules and these Terms. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App.
If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price if required by Apple’s policies. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App. Company, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal-compliance, consumer-protection, and intellectual-property claims.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. government restricted-party list. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it against you.
5. License grant
Subject to these Terms, Apple’s applicable rules, and your compliance with these Terms, Company grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Services for lawful personal purposes on Apple-branded devices that you own or control.
You do not acquire ownership of the App, source code, word lists, puzzle sets, level design, design, interface, artwork, icon, screenshots, documentation, product name, trademarks, scoring, difficulty curve, game balance, or other Company or licensor intellectual property.
Company may revoke this license if you breach these Terms, misuse the App or Game Center, create legal or operational risk, or if Company discontinues the Services.
6. Payment, refunds, and taxes
Meridian is free to download. Full Journey is currently configured as a non-consumable in-app purchase sold at the price shown on the offer screen in your own currency. Before you buy, that screen states what this version unlocks and links these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Nothing is charged unless you complete Apple’s purchase flow.
Apple is the seller. Apple processes the purchase and controls billing, payment credentials, taxes, Family Sharing, refunds, reversals, chargebacks, and purchase records under Apple’s rules. Company does not receive your full payment-card number or Apple Account credentials. Full Journey is presently enabled for Family Sharing where Apple offers it.
Except where required by law or Apple’s policies, App Store transactions are final and non-refundable, and Apple controls refund procedures — request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. You are responsible for device, network, carrier, tax, and other third-party costs related to use.
The App provides Restore Purchase in Settings and on the offer screen. It asks Apple to refresh the Full Journey status for the signed-in Apple Account. If Apple reverses or refunds a purchase and no separate prior-paid entitlement applies, the corresponding access may end.
7. No Company account; device and backup responsibility
Meridian does not require or provide a Company account, email sign-in, or Company password. The Play Record and settings are stored on your device. Optional Apple Game Center authentication is an Apple service and does not create a Company account.
You are responsible for securing your device and Apple Account, managing device access and backup settings, and preserving any local record that matters to you. Erasing the record in the App’s settings, or removing the App or its data, may permanently delete the Play Record. Company cannot see, edit, recover, transfer, export, or restore that record for you and does not guarantee that local progress, Game Center progress, settings, or standings will be backed up, retained, accurate, or recoverable.
8. Apple Game Center and matches
Game Center is operated by Apple, not Company. Meridian’s Game Center use begins off. You may turn it on in the App’s settings, and you may leave it off and use every other part of Meridian, including versus matches against the App’s built-in opponent.
If you turn it on, enabling asks Apple Game Center to authenticate you; the App may display the Game Center name Apple supplies; the App may ask Apple to find another player for a versus match; and the App may submit two aggregate whole numbers to Apple leaderboards, being the total words you have found and the matches you have won.
If Apple matches you with another player, Apple supplies that player’s Game Center display name to your device and yours to theirs, and the two devices exchange a running score for the remainder of the match. Meridian provides no chat and transmits no message text, board, or word list. If no player is available, the match runs against the built-in opponent.
Your Apple Account, Game Center name, friends, leaderboard standing, notifications, privacy settings, retention, and service availability are governed by Apple. Company operates no Game Center server and does not promise that authentication, matchmaking, a submission, or a standing will be available, correct, accepted, preserved, or recoverable. Turning the switch off stops new Meridian submissions and matchmaking but does not delete information Apple already holds.
You must not falsify, manipulate, automate, replay, or tamper with scores, match state, Game Center identity, or the App’s local record. You must not use Game Center features to deceive, harass, threaten, or infringe another person. Such conduct is a material breach and may also violate Apple’s rules.
9. Sharing and User Content
The App can produce a small grid of coloured squares describing a finished daily word on your device; it never contains the word. You decide whether and where to share it through Apple’s share sheet. You are responsible for choosing a lawful recipient and understanding that recipient’s terms and privacy practices. Company does not receive the grid merely because it is created or shared.
You retain whatever rights you lawfully hold in User Content. You represent that you have the rights and permissions required for material you send to Company or share through the Services and that your use will not violate law, these Terms, or another person’s rights.
If you send Company ideas, suggestions, requests, reviews, bug reports, product concepts, or other feedback, you assign to Company all rights in that feedback to the fullest extent permitted by law. If assignment is not permitted, you grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use it for any purpose without attribution or compensation.
10. Intellectual property
Company and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the Services and related intellectual property. No rights are granted except the limited license expressly stated in these Terms.
You may not copy, modify, sell, lease, sublicense, publish, distribute, or commercially exploit the App or its content; reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, derive source code from, bypass, or tamper with it except where non-waivable law permits; remove proprietary notices; scrape or harvest App content or metadata by automated means; use Company materials to train or evaluate a machine-learning system or build a competing dataset or product; or use Company names, marks, screenshots, trade dress, or assets in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or ownership.
11. Acceptable use
You may not use the Services to violate law or third-party rights; create or share unlawful, infringing, abusive, deceptive, invasive, or harmful material; impersonate someone; interfere with, overload, bypass, disable, probe, scrape, automate, or attack the App or Game Center integration; falsify identity, authority, consent, payment, progress, or refund status; expose Company Parties to legal, platform, security, reputational, or operational risk; or assist anyone else in doing so.
Violation is a material breach. Company may preserve evidence, restrict support, terminate the license, notify Apple or authorities where appropriate, and seek injunctive or other relief.
12. No professional advice or guaranteed outcome
The Services are a word game. They are not a cognitive assessment, diagnosis, treatment, therapy, medical device, emergency service, educational credential, or substitute for a teacher, doctor, therapist, lawyer, accountant, financial adviser, or other qualified professional.
Word material is provided for general entertainment and may be incomplete, simplified, disputed, dated, or unsuitable for a particular context. Consult an authoritative dictionary when accuracy matters. Scores, streaks, levels, gems, and standings do not measure intelligence, health, fitness, employability, or professional competence.
13. Third-party services and platforms
The Services may interact with or depend on Apple, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, the App Store, Game Center, GameKit, device settings, backup systems, network providers, email, website hosting, and recipients you choose through the share sheet. Company Parties are not responsible for third-party acts, omissions, outages, rules, privacy practices, price changes, refund decisions, availability, compatibility, policy changes, or discontinuation.
14. Updates, changes, suspension, and discontinuation
Company may update, modify, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Services or any feature at any time. Updates may add, change, or remove word material, levels, scoring, display, Game Center components, features, offers, prices, platform support, compatibility, or availability.
Company may update these Terms. Notice will be provided as required by law and may appear through a website posting, App Store release notes, in-App notice, email, or another reasonable method. Material amendments to dispute resolution, class waiver, jury waiver, liability, privacy, or other rights-affecting terms apply prospectively and may require affirmative assent where required. If you do not agree to updated Terms, stop using the Services.
15. Copyright and intellectual-property notices
The current App does not host a public gallery. If you believe Company-controlled material infringes your copyright, send a notice to Myworkingmemory LLC at the postal or email address in Section 25. Your notice should include the information required by 17 U.S.C. 512, including identification of the copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material, your contact information, statements of good-faith belief and accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature.
16. Warranty disclaimer
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." COMPANY PARTIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, AND UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.
COMPANY PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS, PRODUCE A PARTICULAR OUTCOME, PRESERVE YOUR PLAY RECORD OR GAME CENTER PROGRESS, MATCH YOU WITH ANOTHER PLAYER, WORK ON EVERY DEVICE OR OPERATING SYSTEM, REMAIN AVAILABLE, OR BE FREE FROM DEFECTS, ERRORS, INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS, CORRUPTION, OR SECURITY INCIDENTS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. Those exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law, and non-waivable rights remain unaffected.
17. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, CONTENT, PLAY HISTORY, STREAKS, LEVEL PROGRESS, GEMS, SCORES, MATCHES, OR STANDINGS; DEVICE FAILURE; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; LOSS OF GOODWILL; COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR SHARING OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COMPANY PARTIES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, PURCHASE, THESE TERMS, OR PRIVACY POLICY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID FOR THE APP AND FOR ANY MERIDIAN IN-APP PURCHASE DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
The exclusions and cap apply to every theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability to the extent finally determined to result from fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence where not waivable, or from violation of a non-waivable statutory right. A platform refund right or other legally required remedy remains available.
18. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company Parties from claims, demands, proceedings, losses, liabilities, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from or relating to your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services; your breach of these Terms; your User Content or sharing; your violation of another person’s rights; or your manipulation or misuse of Game Center or App records.
This section does not require a consumer to indemnify Company Parties for Company’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot legally be shifted. Company may control the defense and settlement of an indemnified matter, and you will reasonably cooperate. You may not settle a matter in a way that admits fault by or imposes an obligation on a Company Party without Company’s written consent.
19. Contract with the LLC only
Your agreement is with Myworkingmemory LLC only. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree not to bring a claim arising from the Services or these Terms against a Company member, manager, officer, employee, agent, contractor, or affiliate solely because of that person’s role with Company. This does not waive a claim for a person’s independent tort, fraud, willful misconduct, or other liability that law does not permit to be waived.
20. Dispute resolution
20.1 Informal resolution required
Before filing arbitration or litigation, the claimant must send a written notice describing the claimant, facts, legal basis, requested relief, and a good-faith settlement amount to the address in Section 25. The parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days after receipt. A limitations period is tolled during that 60-day period.
20.2 Binding individual arbitration
Except for qualifying small-claims matters and the equitable-relief exception below, disputes arising from or relating to the Services, purchase, these Terms, or Privacy Policy will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the demand is filed — the Consumer Arbitration Rules effective May 1, 2025 as of these Terms — and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules then in effect. Those rules are published at adr.org. The Federal Arbitration Act governs. If AAA cannot or will not administer the dispute consistently with these Terms, the parties will agree on another administrator or a court will appoint one under 9 U.S.C. § 5.
One neutral arbitrator decides the dispute. It may proceed on documents, by telephone or video, or in the county where you live, as you prefer. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could award, including any statutory damages and fees the law provides, but may not combine claims or award relief for anyone other than the individual claimant.
20.3 Delegation
The arbitrator, not a court, will decide issues concerning the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, formation, scope, or validity of this arbitration agreement, except that a court will decide disputes about the class, representative, collective, consolidated, joinder, mass, or private-attorney-general waivers.
20.4 No class or representative proceedings
YOU AND COMPANY PARTIES AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, JOINT, MASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF EVERY PARTY.
This waiver does not extinguish public injunctive relief that applicable law requires to remain available, and it does not waive a right that law does not permit to be waived.
20.5 Coordinated filings
If demands meet the definition of a mass arbitration under the AAA rules then in effect, those Supplementary Rules apply, and each claimant must satisfy the individualised pre-dispute notice and AAA filing requirements. Nothing here authorises a private batching, bellwether, or delay procedure inconsistent with mandatory law or the administrator’s rules. The arbitrator may not combine different people’s claims without every party’s written consent, except for administrative coordination the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules expressly permit.
20.6 Jury trial waiver
FOR ANY CLAIM THAT IS NOT ARBITRATED, YOU AND COMPANY PARTIES KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
20.7 Arbitration opt-out
You may opt out of this arbitration section by emailing support@myworkingmemory.ai within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Include your name, Meridian, purchase platform, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not opt you out of other Terms, including a class-action or jury-trial waiver to the extent enforceable outside arbitration.
20.8 Small claims
Either of us may bring an individual claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction, and nothing in this section prevents you from doing so instead of arbitrating. If the case is removed, appealed, transferred, or otherwise stops qualifying as a small-claims matter, either party may require arbitration.
20.9 Equitable relief
Either party may ask a court for temporary or preliminary relief to prevent imminent misuse, unauthorised access, infringement, or other irreparable harm while an arbitration proceeds. Company Parties may bring such an application in the state or federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee; you may bring one there or in any court with jurisdiction where you live. This exception does not waive arbitration for damages or other claims.
20.10 Fees
You pay only the consumer filing fee set by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Company pays the remaining AAA administrative fees and the arbitrator’s compensation to the extent those rules and applicable law require, and Company will pay your share as well if the AAA determines you cannot afford it or the rules otherwise shift it. Company will not seek attorney fees from a consumer unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous or brought for an improper purpose under an applicable standard. These Terms impose no general confidentiality obligation on an arbitration; confidentiality applies only where law, the applicable rules, or a specific protective order requires it.
20.11 Severability and class-waiver blow-up
If a part of this section other than the class or consolidated-proceeding waiver is unenforceable, it will be severed and the rest remains effective. If the class or consolidated-proceeding waiver is unenforceable as to a claim or requested relief, this arbitration section is void only as to that claim or relief, which must proceed individually in court and never in class arbitration unless Company expressly agrees in writing after the dispute arises.
21. Governing law and forum
Tennessee law governs these Terms and the Services, excluding conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration. For claims not subject to arbitration and not brought in small-claims court, the exclusive forum and venue are the state and federal courts located in Davidson County, Tennessee, and you and Company Parties consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing waives a non-waivable consumer-protection right.
22. One-year limitation period
To the maximum extent permitted by law, a claim arising from or relating to the Services, purchase, Game Center use, these Terms, or Privacy Policy must be filed within one year after it arose or is permanently barred. This limitation does not apply where a longer period is non-waivable.
23. Export, sanctions, and government users
You must comply with U.S. export-control, sanctions, and denied-party laws and may not receive, use, or export the Services where prohibited. The App is commercial computer software and commercial computer software documentation under applicable FAR and DFARS provisions. Government users receive only the rights granted to other users under these Terms.
24. General terms
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Company regarding the Services and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings. No waiver is effective unless written and signed by Company; failure to enforce is not a waiver. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the rest remains effective, subject to Section 20.
Company may assign these Terms and related rights or obligations to an affiliate, successor, acquirer, purchaser, contractor, or service provider, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, change of control, or operation of law. You may not assign these Terms or the App license without Company’s written consent.
Headings are for convenience. The rule construing ambiguities against a drafter does not apply. English controls over translations. Provisions that by nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, User Content and feedback, acceptable use, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, LLC protection, dispute resolution, governing law, claim deadline, and general terms.
