TERMS OF SERVICE

1. Service Description

Overword (“the Service”) is an anonymous, real-time word display platform operated at overword.org. Users can submit single words (up to 12 characters) that are displayed to all visitors in real time. No accounts or personal information are required to use the free features.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use this Service for any illegal purpose. This includes but is not limited to submitting content that violates any applicable law, promotes violence, or constitutes harassment. We reserve the right to filter, moderate, or remove any content at our sole discretion without notice.

3. Paid Features & Payments

The Service offers optional paid digital features:

  • Word Color ($0.99) — Assigns a color to a word that persists until changed by another user.
  • Word Lock ($1.99) — Locks a word in the center display for 10 seconds, preventing changes during that period.

All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store or handle your payment card details directly. By completing a purchase, you agree that:

  • All purchases are for digital effects delivered immediately upon payment confirmation.
  • Effects are cosmetic and temporary in nature.
  • Other users may subsequently change, override, or replace the effect you purchased.
  • All sales are final. No refunds will be issued, as the digital service is delivered instantly.

Prices may change at any time. Features may be added, modified, or removed without prior notice.
