Terms of use

Agreeing to these terms

Brandoozle and brandoozle.co are operated by Centurion Creatives, LLC, Mechanicsville, Virginia, USA. In these terms “we” and “us” mean Centurion Creatives, LLC.

By using brandoozle.co you agree to these terms, which are an agreement between you and Centurion Creatives, LLC. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The game

Brandoozle publishes one puzzle a day. We do our best to publish every day and to keep the site available, but we do not guarantee either, and we may change how the game works.

Past puzzles are not playable. The archive is a record of what each puzzle was, not a way to play it later.

Your account

• You must be at least 13 to create an account, or 16 if you are in the UK or the EEA.
• One account per person.
• Keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
• Choose a gamertag that is not offensive, and that does not impersonate another person or suggest you are connected with us or with a featured brand.
• You can play without an account, but while you remain a guest your result is not ranked, is not added to a streak, and is not shown to you again the next day. If you create an account after finishing a puzzle, that result is added to the leaderboard and your earlier guest plays are added to your history. We keep a record of every play, without your name or email, and it counts towards the aggregate statistics described in our privacy policy.

Fair play

You agree not to:

• use scripts, bots or any automated means to play, or to submit guesses;
• try to obtain the answer other than by playing — including by probing the site, inspecting network traffic, or creating additional identities to spend extra guesses;
• interfere with the site, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or test its security without our written permission;
• scrape the site, or use it to build a competing dataset.

Where we believe a result was not obtained by fair play we may remove it from the leaderboard, reset statistics, or suspend the account.

Trademarks and brand content

The logos shown in the game are the property of their respective owners. They are used to identify the brands they denote, for the purpose of a quiz and accompanying factual commentary. Their inclusion does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those brand owners.

Every puzzle names the owner of the mark, links to the source the image was taken from, and links to the brand’s official page. In cases where brands are no longer in use or an official website does not exist, Brandoozle will reference information from reputable sites. We try our best to verify puzzle hints, but recognize that they may not be 100% accurate in every case.

If you own or represent a brand and would like it removed, email brand@brandoozle.co. We will take it down everywhere on the site — the daily puzzle, the archive and the brand’s own page — without asking you to prove anything first, and reply within five working days. Telling us which brand you mean and who you are is enough.

Our content

The game, its design, the written facts and the statistics we publish belong to Centurion Creatives, LLC. You may not copy the site or reuse its content commercially without our permission.

Sharing your own result is expressly allowed and encouraged. That includes the result text, the shareable result page we create for you, and the image on it — post them anywhere you like. That permission covers your own results only, and does not extend to the logos, the crops, or the facts, which are dealt with above.

What you submit

Your guesses and difficulty ratings are records of how the game went. You give us permission to keep them and to include them in aggregate statistics, as described in our privacy policy. Those statistics never identify you.

Paying for things

Playing is free. There is no subscription, nothing to buy, and we do not ask players for payment details.

If we introduce anything paid, the price and the terms of that purchase will be shown before you pay, and buying it will be a separate choice rather than a change to these terms.

Puzzle sponsorship is a commercial arrangement made directly with us. It is governed by the written agreement covering that sponsorship, including its fees, invoicing and cancellation terms; these terms of use do not set them, and where the two differ the signed agreement wins. Enquiries go to hello@brandoozle.co.

Disclaimer and limits on our liability

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not promise the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that a puzzle will be published every day.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost streaks, scores or rankings. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or US$100.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

Ending your use

You can stop using the site at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account by emailing privacy@brandoozle.co.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Where it is reasonable to do so we will tell you why and give you a chance to put it right first, unless the breach is serious or telling you would undermine the reason for acting.

When an account ends, your access to it ends with it, along with any streak, ranking or history attached to it, and we are not required to restore them. Deletion of your personal data follows our privacy policy. The sections on brand content, our content, what you submit, liability and disputes continue to apply afterwards.

Disputes

If something goes wrong, email hello@brandoozle.co first and tell us what happened. Most things are settled that way, and we ask that you give us thirty days to put it right before taking it further.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Hanover County, Virginia, and you and we each consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms; the date at the top will change and continued use means you accept the new version. If a change materially affects your rights we will tell registered players by email.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Our not enforcing something straight away does not mean we give up the right to enforce it later.
