Terms of Use
These Terms of Use apply to your access to connections-hint.help (“Connections Hint”, “we”, “us” or “the site”). By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.
What this site provides
Connections Hint publishes independent guides, clues, explanations, puzzle discussions and answer references for people playing the daily Connections word puzzle. Some features are designed to reveal hints gradually so visitors can choose how much help they want.
The site is an unofficial fan resource. It is not operated by, affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by The New York Times Company. “Connections” and related puzzle names and marks belong to their respective owners. We use names only to identify the puzzle being discussed.
Accuracy and availability
We work to make guides clear and accurate, but puzzle data, explanations, publication times and other content may contain mistakes or become outdated. Content is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes. You should use your own judgment and consult the original puzzle publisher for the official game and its current rules.
We may correct, change, suspend or remove content or features without notice. We do not guarantee that the site will always be available, error free, complete, secure or compatible with every device or browser.
Permitted use
You may access the site for personal, lawful use. You agree not to misuse the site, attempt to disrupt its operation or security, submit malicious code, interfere with other visitors, or use automated requests in a way that places an unreasonable burden on the service.
You may link to publicly available pages. You may not present our content as your own, republish substantial portions of our original writing without permission, or use the site in a way that infringes another person’s rights or violates applicable law.
Content and intellectual property
Our original writing, page design, branding and site code are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, except for material owned by others. Third-party names, trademarks and puzzle material remain the property of their respective owners. Nothing on this site grants you ownership of those rights.
If you believe content on the site infringes your rights or contains a material error, please use our contact page with enough detail for us to identify and review the issue.
External websites and services
We may link to external websites for context or convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, terms or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the external site or its claims. Visiting an external site is your choice and subject to its terms.
Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties that cannot be excluded by law. We do not guarantee that every hint or answer is correct, that content will meet a particular purpose, or that access will be uninterrupted.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Connections Hint will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the site. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including any mandatory rights or protections that apply to you as a consumer.
Governing law and mandatory rights
These terms are intended to operate subject to applicable law. We have not specified a particular state, country or court as the exclusive forum. Any governing law or venue provision must be reviewed against the operator’s actual location, business structure and applicable consumer protection rules before one is added. Nothing in these terms limits mandatory rights that apply to you under the law.
Privacy
Our handling of information is described in the Privacy Policy. Please review it to understand the site’s current practices.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site evolves. The date at the top indicates when this page was last reviewed. Continued use after an updated version is posted means you accept the revised terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
