By using Chakkuli you agree to these terms. Chakkuli is a crossword game and community platform. Please play fair and be kind.
You sign in with Google or Apple. You're responsible for activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use Chakkuli.
You may create crosswords, clues, communities, display names, and ratings. You are responsible for what you publish, and you grant other users the right to view content you publish to a community.
You keep ownership of the puzzles and clues you create. When you create or publish content on Chakkuli, you grant Manohar Nagaiah (the operator of Chakkuli) a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable and sub-licensable licence to use, host, store, reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, perform and display that content, and to distribute and promote it in any media and on any platform — including inside and outside the app, in marketing, and in printed or other collections of puzzles.
Wherever it is reasonably practical to do so, we will credit you as the creator using your Chakkuli display name. This licence continues even if you stop using Chakkuli or delete your account, so that puzzles already published or distributed can remain available. You confirm that the content is your own original work and that granting this licence does not infringe anyone else's rights.
You will not be paid for content you create unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. There is no tolerance for content or conduct that is hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, violent, illegal, or otherwise objectionable. Do not harass or abuse other users.
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect. You can delete your account at any time — see the account deletion page.
Chakkuli is provided "as is" without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from your use of the app.
