Terms of Service

Last updated: September 24, 2026.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") apply to your use of the NameIt! website and apps (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

Who you are contracting with

NameIt! is provided by BuiltBySimi Studios ("we", "us"). When you use the Service you are contracting with BuiltBySimi Studios.

You can contact us at hillaryd97@gmail.com.

For purchases paid in US dollars, our payment provider Paddle.com Market Limited ("Paddle") is the merchant of record and sells the item to you on our behalf. See "Payments, taxes and subscriptions" below.

Acceptance and changes

By continuing to use the Service you agree to these Terms. We may update them from time to time. If we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, tell you through the Service. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Using NameIt!

NameIt! is a free-to-play word game. You can play as a guest or create an account. Public rooms let you play with people you don't know, so please use good judgement, and parents or guardians should supervise younger players.

You are responsible for what you do in the Service, including the names, answers, custom categories and messages you submit.

Acceptable use

You must not misuse the Service. In particular, you must not:

  • use it for anything unlawful;
  • commit fraud or send spam, or abuse or harass other players, including through player names, answers, categories or chat;
  • infringe anyone else's intellectual property rights;
  • interfere with the security or operation of the Service, for example by introducing malware, probing for weaknesses, scraping it, or using bots or automation to gain an advantage;
  • try to get around limits, payments or purchases.

Your content

You keep ownership of the content you submit. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store and show it inside the Service so the game works, for example displaying your answers to other players in your room. We may remove content that breaks these Terms.

Coins, seats and NameIt! Pro

Some features are paid. What you can buy:

  • Coins: virtual items used inside NameIt!, for example to add player seats to a room. Coins have no cash value, can't be transferred or exchanged for money, and expire six months after they are purchased if unused.
  • Seats: extra player slots for one room, added to that room for its session.
  • NameIt! Pro: a monthly subscription that renews automatically until cancelled, or a one-time 1-month pass that does not renew. Pro currently includes larger rooms, unlimited rooms, a monthly coin bonus, and extra hints and dictionary checks. Benefits may change over time.

Current prices are on our Pricing page and are shown again at checkout before you pay. These are digital items that are delivered straight away, so purchases are final except as set out in our Refund Policy.

Payments, taxes and subscriptions

Payments in US dollars are processed by Paddle, who is the merchant of record for those purchases. Paddle handles payment, billing, taxes, cancellations and refunds for them under Paddle's buyer terms: https://www.paddle.com/legal/checkout-buyer-terms. Payments in Nigerian naira are processed by Paystack, and for those purchases we are the seller.

Prices are shown at checkout. Applicable taxes, such as VAT or sales tax, are calculated at checkout based on your location and are included or added as shown there.

The monthly Pro subscription renews every month at the price shown when you subscribed until you cancel. You can cancel at any time using the cancellation link in your receipt email or by emailing hillaryd97@gmail.com. Cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for. The 1-month pass does not renew.

Refunds are covered by our Refund Policy.

Intellectual property

We own the Service and everything in it, including the software, game design, documentation and the NameIt! name and branding. These Terms give you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use the Service; they don't transfer any ownership to you.

Availability of the Service

We work to keep NameIt! running, but we don't guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. It may be unavailable from time to time, for example for maintenance or because of problems outside our control. Game data is kept only briefly, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access to the Service, and remove unused coins, if:

  • you materially breach these Terms;
  • a payment fails or is reversed, or you don't pay what you owe;
  • we reasonably believe there is a security or fraud risk; or
  • you repeatedly or seriously break our rules, for example by harassing other players.

You can stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account, contact hillaryd97@gmail.com.

Disclaimers and liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude all warranties not expressly stated here, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability or any consumer rights that can't be limited by law.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This does not affect any mandatory consumer protection rights you have in the country where you live.
