2. Intellectual Property and Trademarks
Wend Game is an independent, fan-created project. It is not affiliated with, authorized, maintained, sponsored or endorsed by LinkedIn Corporation, Microsoft, or any of its affiliates.
The name "Wend", the original game concept, the visual grid layout mechanics, and any related trademarks belong solely to LinkedIn. Our platform is provided strictly as a free educational tool for practice and tribute to the original game. We claim no ownership over the original concept, and our usage of the name falls under Fair Use principles for fan-made tribute sites.
3. User-Generated Content and Algorithms
Wend Game provides dynamically generated word puzzles. We utilize complex algorithms and standard English dictionaries to procedurally generate puzzle grids. While we have implemented strict filtering mechanisms to prevent the generation of inappropriate, offensive, or profane words, the inherently random nature of algorithmic generation means we cannot mathematically guarantee that every generated board is entirely free of unintended, offensive word combinations.
By using Wend Game, you acknowledge this algorithmic limitation and agree that Wend Game assumes no liability for randomly generated content that a user may find offensive or inappropriate.
4. Disclaimer of Warranties
The materials on Wend Game's website are provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. Wend Game makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.
Further, Wend Game does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, uptime, or reliability of the use of the materials on its website or otherwise relating to such materials or on any sites linked to this site.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
