Terms of Use
Effective date: August 30, 2026
These Terms govern access to and use of Even Steven, operated by Clubside Management Corp. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Definitions
As used in these Terms: "Service" means the Even Steven game, website, accounts, multiplayer and matchmaking features, invitation and messaging features, and any related services made available by Clubside Management Corp; "Even Steven IP" has the meaning given in "Intellectual property" below; "Even Steven Mechanics" has the meaning given in "Game mechanics and intellectual-property protection" below; "Rules of Play" means the in-app gameplay rules referenced in "Rules, rankings and game decisions" below; "account" means a registered user profile within the Service; "content" means any information, data, text, or other material transmitted through or generated by the Service; "you" or "user" means the individual using the Service; and "we," "us," "our," or "Clubside" means Clubside Management Corp. Section headings are for reference only and do not affect interpretation.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old in the United States, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction for the applicable online service. Some countries, including certain European Union member states, set a higher minimum age (up to 16) for a minor to consent to an online service without parental consent; if you are below the applicable minimum age where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian as required by your local law. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for your use where required by law. By using the Service, you also represent that doing so is not prohibited by the laws of the country or state from which you access it and that you are not located in, or a resident of, any country or region subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and are not listed on any U.S. government restricted-party list.
Limited license
Subject to these Terms, Clubside Management Corp grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Even Steven for lawful personal entertainment. No ownership rights are transferred to you.
Electronic communications and signatures
By using the Service, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, such as through in-app notices or to an email address or phone number you provide, and you agree that any electronic communication, agreement, or acceptance (including tapping "I agree" or a similar affirmative action) satisfies any legal requirement that such communications or agreements be in writing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable electronic-transactions law, including the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and comparable laws in other jurisdictions.
Accounts
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential, providing accurate information when required, and activity occurring through your account. Usernames must not impersonate others or contain unlawful, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate material.
Fair play and acceptable use
You may not cheat; use bots, automation, hacks, exploits, or unauthorized software; manipulate rankings or scores; interfere with another player's game; harass or threaten others; attempt unauthorized access; scrape or harvest information; introduce malicious code; misuse invitations; reverse engineer the Service except where applicable law expressly permits it; or use the Service for unlawful purposes. We may investigate suspected violations and restrict, suspend, reset, or terminate accounts or rankings when reasonably necessary.
Rules, rankings and game decisions
Gameplay is also governed by the Rules of Play displayed in Even Steven. Ranked-game calculations, dictionary determinations, scoring, time limits, anti-cheating measures, and other game systems may be adjusted as the Service develops. Reasonable technical corrections may be made to scores, rankings, or game records affected by errors, abuse, or system failures.
Intellectual property
Even Steven, its software, source code, original game presentation, graphics, logos, splash and tile artwork, text, audio and voice prompts, rules presentation, databases, dictionary compilation, and other original content (collectively, the "Even Steven IP") are owned by or licensed to Clubside Management Corp and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property laws of the United States and other countries. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by Clubside Management Corp. Except for the limited license described above, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display or perform, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, commercially exploit, reverse engineer, decompile, extract, or create derivative works based on any Even Steven IP, in whole or in part, without Clubside Management Corp's prior written consent.
Game mechanics and intellectual-property protection
Clubside Management Corp has designed and developed original game mechanics used in Even Steven, including its controlled dual letter-pool system, dynamic board-state modification tools, competitive tile-commitment rules, and synchronized multiplayer game-state architecture (collectively, the "Even Steven Mechanics"). Clubside Management Corp reserves all intellectual-property rights that may apply to the Even Steven Mechanics, source code, artwork, branding, documentation, and other original elements of the Service.
Clubside Management Corp intends to monitor for and address unauthorized copying, cloning, or commercial exploitation of the Even Steven Mechanics or other Even Steven IP. Depending on the rights available at the time, enforcement may include cease-and-desist demands, takedown requests, copyright or trade-secret claims, unfair-competition claims, injunctive relief, and other remedies available under applicable law. Clubside Management Corp may also seek patent or other intellectual-property protection in the United States or other countries.
If you believe a third party is copying, cloning, or misappropriating the Even Steven Mechanics or other Even Steven IP, you may report it to Clubside Management Corp using the contact method in the "Contact" section below.
Third-party rights
Even Steven is an independent game and is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Hasbro, Scopely, Mattel, or SCRABBLE. SCRABBLE and other third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners. References used for comparison or identification do not grant any rights in those marks.
Trademarks
"Even Steven" and associated logos, and any other names, logos, or marks used to identify the Service, are trademarks or trade dress of Clubside Management Corp, whether or not they appear with a trademark symbol. You may not use any Clubside Management Corp trademark or trade dress without our prior written permission.
Feedback
If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about Even Steven, you grant Clubside Management Corp a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully transferable license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Service or any other product or service without any obligation to compensate or credit you.
Beta features and testing
From time to time, Even Steven may offer beta, preview, or experimental features on an "as is" basis for testing purposes. Beta features may be incomplete, may contain errors, may not function as intended, and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Your use of beta features is voluntary and at your own risk.
Assumption of risk
Online multiplayer features involve interacting with other players over the internet. You acknowledge that we do not control the conduct of other players and are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, or unlawful conduct by another player, though you may report such conduct to us as described in "Fair play and acceptable use" above.
Confidentiality
Any non-public information Clubside Management Corp shares with you about the Service, including unreleased features, is confidential, and you agree not to disclose it without our prior written consent, except as required by law.
Government end users
If you are a U.S. federal government end user, the Service is a "commercial item" as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101, and any use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in these Terms, consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 (for civilian agencies) and 48 C.F.R. §§227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (for the Department of Defense).
Anti-corruption and trade compliance
You agree to comply with applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010, in connection with your use of the Service. You further agree not to access or use the Service in violation of any applicable U.S. export-control law or regulation, including the Export Administration Regulations and sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and represent that you are not named on any restricted-party, denied-persons, or specially designated nationals list maintained by the U.S. government or the government of any other applicable jurisdiction.
Publicity
Your username, in-game statistics, and rankings may be displayed to other players within the Service, such as on leaderboards or in game rooms, as an inherent part of gameplay. Except as described in this section, we will not use your name or likeness in external advertising without your consent.
Invitations and SMS
Invitation and messaging features must not be used to send spam, harassment, unlawful messages, or repeated unwanted invitations. Optional SMS programs may require direct consent. Consent is not required to play. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply; and where supported, recipients may reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance. Carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages. By submitting a phone number to invite another person, you represent that you have that person's permission to do so and that you will not use the invitation feature to contact numbers you do not have authorization to message.
No gambling; skill-based entertainment only
Even Steven is a skill-based word game offered solely for entertainment. Rankings, Elo-style ratings, and in-game statistics have no cash or monetary value, cannot be redeemed for money or prizes, and do not constitute gambling, wagering, or a game of chance. Clubside Management Corp does not offer or permit real-money betting, wagering, or prize payouts in connection with Even Steven.
Updates and availability
Even Steven may be updated, tested, changed, interrupted, suspended, or discontinued, in whole or in part. Beta features may contain errors or change without notice. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every device, preservation of every game, or that every defect will be corrected.
Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Clubside Management Corp and its owners, officers, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, rankings, gameplay, profits, or goodwill arising from use of or inability to use the Service. Rights that cannot legally be limited remain unaffected.
Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, or expenses arising from your unlawful misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.
Copyright complaints (DMCA)
If you believe material available through Even Steven infringes your copyright, you may send a notice containing: (1) a description of the copyrighted work; (2) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location within the Service; (3) your contact information; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; (5) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and (6) your physical or electronic signature. Notices may be sent through the contact or support method made available in Even Steven. We may remove or disable access to material in response to a valid notice and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
Dispute resolution; arbitration agreement; class action waiver
We would like to resolve any concern informally first — please contact us before filing a claim. Except for disputes that qualify for small-claims court or seek only injunctive relief for intellectual-property or account-security issues, you and Clubside Management Corp agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or Even Steven will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered under the American Arbitration Association's consumer arbitration rules then in effect, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court. YOU AND CLUBSIDE MANAGEMENT LLC EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) may proceed in court, with the remainder of this arbitration agreement remaining in effect. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending a written opt-out notice through the contact method made available in Even Steven; opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms. If you reside outside the United States and applicable local law does not permit binding pre-dispute consumer arbitration for your claim, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith mediation before either party commences litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction, and, for disputes involving a party located outside the United States that are not subject to mandatory local court jurisdiction, the parties may instead agree to resolve the dispute by arbitration administered under the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules of Arbitration.
Governing law and venue
Except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, including any laws governing online games, data protection, consumer protection, and electronic communications that apply where you live. Nothing in these Terms limits any protection that the mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection law of your country of residence gives you and cannot be waived by agreement, including, where applicable, your right to bring a claim before the courts of your own country and, in jurisdictions that do not permit mandatory pre-dispute consumer arbitration or class-action waivers, the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver above apply only to the extent your local law permits.
Force majeure
Clubside Management Corp is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, flood, earthquake, or other natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, internet or hosting-provider outages, power failures, telecommunications or messaging-carrier failures, third-party service failures, labor disputes or strikes, and governmental action, law, or regulation, or other similar events beyond our reasonable control.
App store terms
If you obtain Even Steven through Apple's App Store or another platform distributor, that distributor's own terms also apply, and, in case of conflict with these Terms as to the distributor's role, the distributor's terms control solely with respect to that role. Each such distributor and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them, but are not responsible for providing support for or addressing claims related to Even Steven. Any claim relating to the app itself is between you and Clubside Management Corp, not the distributor. If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store, you and Clubside Management Corp acknowledge that: (a) these Terms are between you and Clubside Management Corp only, not Apple; (b) Clubside Management Corp, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content; (c) Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support services for the app; (d) in the event of the app's failure to conform to any warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, for the app, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app; (e) Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation; (f) Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of it infringes a third party's intellectual-property rights; and (g) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your license to use the app, and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. If you downloaded the app from the Google Play Store, use of the app is additionally subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and Google is not a party to these Terms and has no obligation to provide support for the app.
Modern slavery and human trafficking statement
Clubside Management Corp does not tolerate any form of forced labor, human trafficking, or modern slavery in its own operations, and expects any contractor or service provider engaged in connection with Even Steven to comply with applicable anti-trafficking and labor laws.
Open-source and third-party software
Even Steven may incorporate third-party or open-source software components, which remain subject to their own applicable license terms to the extent required by those licenses. Use of such components in Even Steven does not grant you any additional rights beyond those in these Terms.
Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or sublicense these Terms or your account, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
Notices
We may provide notices to you through the Service, to an email address or phone number associated with your account, or by posting on the Service. Notices to Clubside Management Corp must be sent through the contact or support method made available in Even Steven.
Relationship of the parties
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between you and Clubside Management Corp. Neither party has the authority to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other's behalf.
Survival
Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination of your access to the Service — including, without limitation, intellectual property, patent rights, disclaimers of warranties, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution and arbitration, and general provisions — will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.
No waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Clubside Management Corp.
Language
These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation provided is for convenience only, and, in the event of a conflict between the English version and a translation, the English version controls, except where applicable local law requires otherwise.
General provisions
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Rules of Play, are the entire agreement between you and Clubside Management Corp regarding Even Steven and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while reflecting the parties' original intent. Section headings are for convenience only. You agree to comply with applicable export-control and economic-sanctions laws in your use of the Service.
Changes and termination
We may update these Terms as Even Steven develops. Material changes may be presented through the Service as appropriate. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms, security concerns, legal requirements, or discontinuation of the Service.
Contact
Questions about these Terms may be directed to Clubside Management Corp through the contact or support method made available in Even Steven.
