Terms & Conditions
Last updated: November 2026
Welcome to Just Shout This. The Service is operated by Novologia Ltd, a company registered in Israel (“we”). By using our website and game (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.
1. The Service
Just Shout This is an online party word game you play in the browser. Players take turns describing secret words out loud while the others shout guesses — together on a live voice call, against an AI, or both. In some ways to play, an AI listens to what you say (turned into text) and guesses too, or reads clues aloud in a computer voice. You can play alone, or with friends in a room of up to 4 (2 in a free room).
You can play free, without an account, with a set of free words for each way to play. A pass (section 3) unlocks the full word catalogue and bigger rooms for the games you host.
2. Your account
You can play without an account. An account is created when you buy a pass, attached to the email address you give at checkout. Sign-in is passwordless: we email a one-time code. You’re responsible for keeping access to your email secure. You must use an email address you own.
3. Purchases & payments
We sell one pass. It lets you host Just Shout This games with the full word catalogue, with no fixed expiration date. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: it does not renew and nothing is charged again. The players in games you host play free. A pass is a licence to use the Service; it doesn’t give ownership of its software or content. Prices, currency and taxes are shown at checkout. [TODO: OWNER REVIEW: confirm the pass terms for Just Shout This]
Service availability. A pass grants access for as long as the Service operates. If we plan to permanently discontinue the Service, we will give at least 90 days’ notice on the website and by email to the address on your account, and stop selling passes on the day of the notice.
Fair use. A pass is for normal personal and social use. We use automated protections such as rate limits and usage caps to keep the Service running fairly; normal play does not reach them.
A pass is personal and non-transferable and may not be resold. Our payment partner and merchant of record is Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd): your order is processed by Paddle, Paddle’s checkout terms apply, and your receipt comes from Paddle. We never receive your card details. Refunds are handled under our Refund Policy.
4. What you say and write
Your name, avatar, scores and the AI’s guesses for your clues are shown to the other players in your game (or to the people you send a challenge link to). In a party room your microphone is connected live to the other players in that room (a voice call): they hear you and you hear them, from the lobby until you leave the room. You can mute yourself at any time. We don’t record or store the call. You keep any rights you have in them; you give us permission to store them, show them to those players, and send them to the AI providers named in our Privacy Policy so the game can be scored. Don’t say or write anything unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit or targeting a real person. We may remove content and end games that break these rules.
5. Fair play and the AI
Your clues must not contain the word or its known forms, or address the AI; saying the word ends your round with zero points. Speech recognition and the AI’s guesses are automated and can be surprising or wrong. Points have no monetary value and confer no prize.
6. Acceptable use
- Don’t use the Service for anything unlawful or abusive.
- Don’t use the voice call to harass or threaten anyone, or to share content that isn’t appropriate for everyone in the room.
- Don’t attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorised access to the Service, or to automate play.
- Don’t scrape, copy or redistribute our game or content except as allowed by law.
7. Content & intellectual property
The game, word lists, artwork, text and software are owned by Novologia Ltd and protected by law. You get a personal, non-commercial licence to play.
8. No warranty
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Novologia Ltd is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.
10. Changes
We may update these Terms. If we make material changes we’ll update this page; continued use means you accept the updated Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protections, nothing here limits those rights.
