Using Janggi
These terms are an agreement between you and Neil Armstrong, the independent operator of Janggi. By using Janggi you agree to them. If you are not legally able to agree for yourself, you may use Janggi only with a parent or guardian who accepts these terms for you.
Janggi is a free board game that can be played locally without an account. Google sign-in is optional and is offered only to keep selected progress and preferences in step across devices.
Accounts and sync
You may connect one Google account through the sign-in flow. You are responsible for access to that Google account and for any display name you choose. Google’s own terms apply to its sign-in service.
Sync is a convenience, not a backup guarantee. Keep any information you cannot afford to lose somewhere else. You can sign out while keeping local data, or choose Delete my account in Settings to remove the account and synced data from the live service. Copies on your devices remain yours to clear.
Acceptable use
You must not use Janggi to:
- break the law or infringe another person’s rights;
- upload a display name or style content that is unlawful, abusive or harmful;
- attempt to access another person’s account or data;
- probe, bypass or interfere with security, rate limits, the API or the service;
- use automation or excessive requests in a way that disrupts Janggi for others.
Your content
You keep any rights you have in display names and custom styles you create. You give Janggi a limited, worldwide permission to host, copy, process and transmit that content only as needed to provide sync, security and support. This permission ends when the content or account is deleted, subject to short-lived infrastructure backups and legal obligations.
Intellectual property
Janggi’s source code is made available under its stated open-source licence. Fairy-Stockfish and other third-party software remain under their own licences. These terms do not replace or restrict rights those licences give you. The project’s references and credits identify the principal software and sources used.
Availability
Janggi may change, add or remove features, impose reasonable limits, suspend account functions, or stop operating. The local game is designed to work offline, but Google sign-in and sync depend on third-party services and network availability and may be interrupted.
Disclaimers and liability
Janggi is provided free of charge and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without promises that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose. You are responsible for deciding whether to rely on synced or locally stored data.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where the law does not allow that, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your mandatory consumer rights. Subject to that, the operator is not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the free service.
Ending use
You may stop using Janggi at any time. The operator may restrict or end access to account services where reasonably necessary to protect Janggi, other users or third parties, or where these terms are materially breached. Account deletion remains available from Settings while the service is operating.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated when Janggi or the law changes. Material changes will be identified by a new effective date and, where reasonably possible, explained in the application before they take effect. Continuing to use Janggi after the effective date means the updated terms apply.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any mandatory protection given by the law where you live or any right the law gives you to bring proceedings in another available local court. Otherwise, the courts of Northern Ireland have jurisdiction.
