Terms of Service

Effective July 24, 2026

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Very Successful Tech Company LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Company operates Late to Steal, an experimental online word-game beta managed from Israel (the “Service”). The Service is offered by the Company, not by any member, manager, employee, or contractor in an individual capacity.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. The Service is not intended for children under 13. If we learn that a user is under 13, we may close the account and delete the user’s personal information.

2. Accounts and guest play

You may play as a guest or choose to sign in with Google. You are responsible for activity through your account and for maintaining the security of your login. Do not impersonate another person or use a misleading or abusive username.

3. Game rules and results

Late to Steal applies the rules, word-list data, scoring logic, and technical decisions implemented in the Service. Word validity and scoring may differ from other dictionaries or versions of an anagram game. The result recorded by the Service is final for that game unless we choose to correct a clear technical error.

4. Acceptable use

You may not:

threaten, harass, abuse, or target other users;
post hateful, sexual, illegal, or seriously offensive content;
cheat, automate play, exploit bugs, or manipulate results;
interfere with the Service, its security, servers, accounts, or other users;
scrape the Service or attempt unauthorized access;
spam or impersonate another person; or
use the Service in violation of law.

We may investigate suspected abuse and may remove content, reset results, suspend access, or ban users.

5. User content

You may submit usernames, chat messages, reports, feedback, and similar material (“User Content”). You retain any rights you have in your User Content. You give the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, and moderate User Content only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, improve, and moderate the Service. You are responsible for ensuring your User Content does not violate another person’s rights or these Terms.

6. Feedback

If you provide ideas or feedback about the Service, you permit the Company to use them without restriction or payment. This does not give the Company ownership of unrelated material you provide.

7. Company and third-party property

The Service, including its original code, design, interface, text, branding, game implementation, and other Company-created material, is owned by or licensed to the Company. Third-party software, data, fonts, icons, services, and trademarks remain subject to their respective owners’ rights and licenses. These Terms allow personal, lawful use of the Service during the beta; they do not transfer ownership to you.

8. Experimental beta

Games may be interrupted during deployments. Features, rules, statistics, rankings, accounts, and stored information may change, reset, be removed, or be discontinued.

We do not promise that the Service will always be available, error-free, secure, or preserved indefinitely.

9. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access, remove content, or limit features when reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce these Terms, comply with law, address security concerns, or operate or discontinue the beta.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and its members, managers, officers, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits, goodwill, or opportunities arising from the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, their total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid the Company for the Service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $100. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by mandatory law or to liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability that cannot be excluded for fraud, willful misconduct, or personal injury.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, officers, contractors, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful User Content, your material violation of these Terms, or your intentional misuse of the Service. This section does not require you to indemnify anyone for that person’s own fraud, willful misconduct, or liability that cannot legally be shifted to you.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory consumer right to bring a claim elsewhere, the state and federal courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction over contractual disputes arising from these Terms or the Service. Nothing in this section deprives a consumer of protections or a forum that cannot lawfully be waived under the law that applies to that consumer.

Before filing a claim, please send a brief description of the dispute to latetosteal@gmail.com and allow 30 days for informal resolution, unless waiting would cause a legal deadline to expire.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. We will post the revised Terms and update the effective date. If a change materially affects registered users, we may also provide an in-product notice. Continued use after revised Terms take effect means you accept them.

15. General terms

These Terms and the policies linked from them are the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms without our consent. The Company may transfer these Terms with the Service or as part of a merger, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
