Terms of use
Effective
By using OthelloGame.app (“the site”) you agree to these terms. They are short because the site is simple: a free game you play in your browser.
1. Free to use
You may play on the site for free, for personal and educational use, including in classrooms and clubs. No account is needed.
2. Acceptable use
- Don’t attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site or its hosting.
- Don’t copy the site’s design, artwork or text and republish them as your own.
- Linking to any page and sharing replay links is welcome.
3. Intellectual property
The game rules are not owned by anyone. The site’s code, board and disc artwork, diagrams and written guides are original works of OthelloGame.app. Short quotations with a link back are fine.
OTHELLO is a registered trademark of MegaHouse Corporation. OthelloGame.app is an independent site that teaches and hosts the public-domain game Reversi under the standard Othello rules; it is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by MegaHouse or the World Othello Federation.
4. No warranty
The site is provided “as is”. We work to keep the rules engine correct and the site available, but we can’t guarantee it will be error-free or always online. Game analysis is a computer estimate except where it is marked as exact.
5. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, OthelloGame.app is not liable for any loss arising from use of the site, including lost game records stored in your browser.
6. Changes
We may update these terms; the effective date above will change when we do. Continued use means you accept the updated terms.
