Stile Terms of Use
These Terms govern Stile: Word Ladder Puzzles (the "App") and its support and legal pages (together, the "Services"), provided by Myworkingmemory LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").
1. Apple terms
Your license to the App is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, unless Apple presents another applicable license. These product-specific Terms supplement that agreement. Apple’s agreement controls if these Terms conflict on a matter Apple governs.
2. The free game
The free App includes 40 complete and replayable Gentle word ladders, local progress, and three starting Rungs. A player can earn one Rung for the first clean solve of each ladder. The free game has no advertising, account, lives, or subscription.
3. Complete Stile and Founder Access
Complete Stile is a non-consumable in-app purchase that unlocks 120 additional Steady, Tricky, and Expert ladders. It can be restored through Apple. A verified customer who obtained an earlier paid-download version receives Founder Access without another charge. Founder Access unlocks all 160 ladders and preserves the original three included guided Rungs per ladder.
4. Rungs
One Rung adds the next word on a shortest path. Rungs may be earned or bought in consumable packs. Bought Rungs do not expire, have no cash value, cannot be transferred or redeemed outside the App, and are not restored by Apple. The balance is stored locally and can be lost if the App or its data is deleted, a device fails, or a backup does not restore it. Rungs do not guarantee completion and are limited by the puzzle’s available path and the App’s per-ladder help limit.
5. Prices, billing, restores, and refunds
Apple’s purchase screen displays the controlling local price, currency, and tax information before purchase. Apple processes payment, refunds, reversals, chargebacks, Family Sharing where available, and transaction disputes. The Company does not directly bill or refund your Apple Account. Restore Purchases restores verified non-consumable access, not consumable Rung packs.
6. Puzzle results
Stile checks words against its bundled list and provides an intended shortest path and par for each ladder. Dictionaries and usage vary. We do not promise that every valid regional, technical, archaic, or newly coined word is included, or that the Services will always be uninterrupted or error-free.
7. Local storage and backups
Progress, settings, results, and Rung balances are stored locally. The Company does not operate a gameplay account or sync service and cannot recover that information. You are responsible for device security and any Apple-controlled backup or restoration you choose to use.
8. License and acceptable use
Subject to Apple’s license and these Terms, you may use the App personally and lawfully on supported Apple devices. You may not unlawfully copy, distribute, sell, sublicense, scrape, interfere with, reverse engineer, bypass purchase controls, introduce harmful code, infringe rights, or help another person do so, except where applicable law expressly permits an act despite this restriction.
9. Company property and feedback
The Company and its licensors retain their rights in the App, code, design, word-ladder selection, text, graphics, names, and related material. If you send feedback or support material, you permit the Company to use it to respond, troubleshoot, secure, document, and improve the Services.
10. Updates and availability
The Company may correct, improve, replace, add, or remove features for future use, and availability may vary by device, system version, storefront, entitlement, or technical condition. A change does not alter a completed transaction or a nonwaivable consumer right. We do not promise perpetual support or compatibility.
11. Third-party services
The Services depend on Apple, the App Store, StoreKit, device storage, backups, Vercel, email, and other independently controlled services. Their terms, privacy notices, eligibility, availability, and decisions are separate. The Company does not control them.
12. Disclaimer and liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. APPLE’S STANDARD EULA AND NONWAIVABLE CONSUMER WARRANTIES STILL APPLY.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, OPPORTUNITY, DATA, OR USE. Nothing excludes liability or remedies that applicable law does not allow the responsible party to exclude.
13. Governing law and disputes
Before filing a claim, you and the Company will try in good faith for 60 days to resolve it after one side sends a written description and requested relief. This does not prevent urgent relief or preservation of a filing deadline. Except where nonwaivable law provides otherwise, Tennessee law governs and courts with jurisdiction in Davidson County, Tennessee are the agreed forum. These Terms do not require arbitration or waive class rights.
14. Apple acknowledgments
These Terms are between you and the Company, not Apple. The Company, not Apple, is responsible for the App and its content, support as stated here, and applicable claims, subject to Apple’s agreement and law. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries and may enforce these Terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms and United States export and sanctions law.
15. Changes, general terms, and contact
We may update these Terms for future use. Material changes receive additional notice or assent when law requires it. If one provision is unenforceable, the others continue. A waiver must be clear. The Apple license and these Terms are the applicable agreement about the Services; the Privacy Policy is a factual notice.
