Terms of Service

Welcome to Wheel of Names. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Wheel of Names (“we”, “us”, or “our”) governing your use of the website wheelof-name.com (the “Site”) and its free online spinning-wheel and random-picker tool (together, the “Service”). Please read them carefully.

Before you publish this: replace every highlighted field — the effective date, your contact email, your legal/business name, and your governing-law location — with your real details, and delete anything that doesn’t apply. This template is a helpful starting point, not legal advice; consider having a professional review it for your jurisdiction.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization (such as a school or business), you confirm you have the authority to accept these Terms for that organization.

2. The Service

Wheel of Names is a free online tool that turns a list of entries — names, numbers, words, emojis, or images — into a spinning wheel that randomly selects a winner. You can customize colors, themes, sounds, and behavior, build multiple wheels, and import, export, or share them.

  • The Service runs in your web browser and does not require any download or installation.
  • You can use the core tool without creating an account.
  • We provide the Service free of charge and may add, change, or remove features at any time.

3. Accounts

You may use the Service without registering. If you choose to create an optional free account to save wheels across devices, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

4. Your Content & Responsibilities

“Your Content” means anything you add to the Service, including wheel entries, text, images, custom sounds, and imported files.

  • You own Your Content. We do not claim ownership of the entries, images, or files you add.
  • You are responsible for it. You confirm that you have the right to use and share Your Content and that it does not break any law or violate anyone’s rights.
  • Limited permission to run the Service. You grant us the permission needed to store, display, and process Your Content solely to operate the Service for you — for example, to show your wheel, save it if you have an account, or generate a share link you request.
  • Sharing is your choice. If you create a public share link, anyone with that link may view the associated wheel. Only share links you’re comfortable making accessible.

5. Acceptable Use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

  • Use it for any unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or fraudulent purpose;
  • Upload or enter content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes someone else’s intellectual property or privacy;
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, hack, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems;
  • Introduce malware or use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to abuse the Service;
  • Reverse engineer, copy, or resell the Service except as allowed by law;
  • Use the Service in a way that harms us or other users, or misrepresents your results as something they are not.

We may remove content or restrict access if we reasonably believe these Terms have been broken.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service itself — including its software, design, layout, logos, and branding — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Aside from Your Content, you may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service without our permission. You may use the Service for your own personal, educational, or business decision-making, giveaways, and similar everyday purposes.

7. Randomness & “As Is” Disclaimer

The wheel is designed to give each entry a fair chance based on your settings, and spins are independent of one another. However, the tool uses a standard random function suitable for casual, fun, and everyday use — it is not intended for cryptographic, gambling, legal, or high-stakes purposes, and you should not rely on it where a certified or legally verifiable random draw is required.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, secure, or free of bugs.

8. Third-Party Links & Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or rely on third-party services (such as hosting or analytics). We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third party. Using those sites and services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of — or inability to use — the Service. Because the Service is free, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greatest extent allowed by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access to the Service, or remove content, if you break these Terms or if we need to for legal, security, or operational reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will remain in effect.

12. Changes to the Service & Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time. When we change the Terms, we’ll revise the “Effective date” above, and significant changes may be highlighted on the Site. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of your country / state / jurisdiction, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes relating to the Service will be handled in the courts of that location, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
