Terms
The terms for playing TinyLamp games and using our website.
Draft. This page is still being reviewed and may change before our games launch.
Last updated: 23 September 2026
These terms apply when you play games made by TinyLamp Games (“TinyLamp”, “we”, “us”), including Wordwhim, or use our website. TinyLamp Games is an independent studio based in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. By downloading, installing or playing our games, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use our games.
Who can play
Our games are made for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, please make sure a parent or guardian has read and agreed to these terms, especially before making any purchases.
Your licence to play
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to download and play our games on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial entertainment. This licence is subject to these terms and to the terms of the store you downloaded the game from.
The games, and everything in them (artwork, music, text, characters, code and design), belong to TinyLamp Games or our licensors, and are protected by copyright and other laws. Apart from the licence above, we keep all rights.
Playing fair
When you play our games, please don’t:
- copy, sell, rent or redistribute our games, or any part of them;
- reverse-engineer, decompile, modify or hack our games, except where the law specifically allows it;
- use cheats, bots, exploits or unauthorised software, or deliberately exploit bugs;
- interfere with our games, their ads, or the services behind them;
- use our games for anything unlawful.
Sharing your play
You’re welcome to share screenshots and gameplay videos of our games, including on streaming and video platforms, as long as you don’t suggest that TinyLamp Games sponsors or endorses you, and you don’t share our games’ files or unreleased material.
In-app purchases
Some of our games offer optional in-app purchases, such as extra content or virtual items.
- Purchases are made through Google Play or the Apple App Store, and their payment terms apply. We never receive your payment details.
- Virtual items and in-game currency have no real-world value, can’t be exchanged for money, and can’t be transferred or sold outside the game.
- Consumable items are used up when you use them in the game.
- Refunds are handled by the store you bought from, under its refund policy. Nothing in these terms affects any right to a refund you have under the law of your country.
- If something you paid for doesn’t arrive, or goes missing, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help. Many purchases can also be restored through the store.
Ads
Some of our games show ads, which help keep them free to play. Ads are provided by third-party advertising partners. We aren’t responsible for the products or websites that ads link to. To learn how advertising data is handled, see our privacy policy.
Updates and availability
We work to keep our games running well, but we may update, change or stop offering a game, or any feature or content in it, at any time. Some updates may be needed to keep playing. If we plan to stop running a game that offers purchases, we will give reasonable notice where the law requires it.
We can’t promise our games will always be available, or free of bugs and interruptions.
Privacy
Our privacy policy explains what information our games and website collect and how it’s used. You can ask us to delete your data through our data deletion page.
Our website
You may browse our website for personal, non-commercial purposes. Please don’t copy or reuse its content or artwork without our permission, or try to disrupt it. We may update or change the website at any time.
If these terms are broken
If you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, we may suspend or end your licence to play. You can stop using our games at any time by uninstalling them.
Disclaimer
Our games and website are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we don’t make any promises or guarantees about them beyond those in these terms.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, TinyLamp Games is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of our games or website. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us, through in-app purchases, in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that can’t be limited by law, or takes away any rights you have as a consumer under the laws of your country.
Games on Apple devices
If you download one of our games from the Apple App Store, these terms are between you and TinyLamp Games, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the game or its content, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them. Your use of the game must also follow the App Store’s own terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be handled by the courts of Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. This doesn’t take away any right you have to bring a claim in the courts of your own country, or the protection of its mandatory consumer laws.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we release new games or features, or when the law changes. We will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, let players know through our games or this website. If you keep playing after the changes take effect, you accept the updated terms.
