Free use
The site is free to browse today. You do not need an account to read or have fun. If paid features ever appear, we will say so clearly first.
Play fair
Do not hack, scrape aggressively, or automate abuse. Short quotes with a link are fine. Copying whole articles or game code for commercial reuse is not.
Good faith
Content is for casual entertainment. Take breaks, use your judgment, and follow external links at your own discretion.
Agreement to these terms
By accessing or using https://www.iambored.blog (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
I Am Bored may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Your continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Site, you represent that you meet this requirement.
What we provide
The Site offers articles, listicles, short fiction, browser web toys, and curated interactive pages for casual entertainment when you are bored.
We may add, change, or remove features without notice. Games may save progress locally in your browser. We do not guarantee that any random suggestion, score, or article will fit your mood, schedule, or location.
Nothing on the Site is professional medical, legal, financial, or therapeutic advice. Treat it as leisure content from a small publisher, not a licensed service.
Acceptable use
You agree to use the Site lawfully and respectfully. You must not:
- Violate applicable laws or infringe someone else's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, other users' data, or vendor accounts
- Run abusive crawlers, DDoS traffic, or automated scripts that degrade performance for others
- Reverse engineer games to cheat on future leaderboards or manipulate fair play systems
- Republish large portions of our content without permission (brief quotes with attribution and a link are usually fine)
- Click or interact with ads in deceptive ways if and when advertising is displayed
- Upload malware, spam, or harmful code through any contact channel or future user submission feature
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise noted, the Site design, branding, mascot art, text, game code, and curated layouts are owned by I Am Bored or used under license.
You may share links to our pages on social media or in messages. You may not mirror the full Site, sell access to our articles, or redistribute game assets commercially without written permission.
If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, email us with a detailed notice. We will review good-faith reports and respond as appropriate.
User submissions and email
If you email us game ideas, story pitches, bug reports, or other feedback, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use that feedback to operate and improve the Site without owing you compensation unless we agree separately in writing.
Guest blog submissions: If we accept your article for publication, we will display the author name or handle you provide on the byline. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host, edit for clarity and formatting, and promote the published piece on the Site. We do not pay for guest blog submissions at this time unless we agree otherwise in writing. You represent that your submission is original, does not infringe third-party rights, and that you have authority to share it.
Do not send confidential trade secrets or material you cannot share. We cannot promise to keep every idea private if similar concepts are already in development.
You represent that your submissions do not violate third-party rights and that you have authority to share them.
Games, health, and breaks
Browser games and toys on the Site are for fun and short breaks. They may involve flashing visuals, timers, or reflex tests. Stop if you feel dizzy, strained, or unwell.
Reaction scores and random generators are not safety or fitness assessments. Follow workplace rules and local laws about device use. We are not responsible if you play when you should be doing something else.
Third-party links
Articles and Have Fun pages may link to external websites we do not control. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for external content, availability, or practices. Leaving the Site is your choice. Check the destination before sharing personal information elsewhere.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation. Content may contain typos, outdated references, or broken links despite our efforts to fix them.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I Am Bored and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site.
Our total liability for any claim related to the Site is limited to the greater of zero or the amount you paid us for access in the twelve months before the claim. Because the Site is free for typical use, that amount is often zero.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those places, our liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted by law.
Suspension and termination
We may suspend or block access if we reasonably believe you violated these terms or harmed the Site, other visitors, or our vendors.
We may discontinue any part of the Site at any time. Sections that by nature should survive (intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, governing law) will survive termination.
Governing law
These terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction where we operate the Site, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another region's laws.
If a dispute arises, contact us first at iamboredblog5@gmail.com so we can try to resolve it informally. Nothing here limits rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection laws where you live.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full effect.
Entire agreement and no waiver
These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, make up the entire agreement between you and I Am Bored regarding use of the Site, replacing any prior understanding on the subject. If we do not enforce a provision on one occasion, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these terms. We may assign these terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
