Terms of use

These terms apply to the use of ravensays.fun. The provider is the person named in the imprint. Conflicting terms of the user do not apply.

RavenSays is a puzzle game. You ask yes/no questions of the raven, our machine narrator, and reconstruct the solution of a case. Answers come from a fixed vocabulary, a language model only classifies.

There is no claim to particular cases, to a particular number of them, or to constant availability.

You can play without signing up. We create an anonymous identifier tied to your browser on first use. If you secure your account with an email address, your progress is kept across devices.

Sharing an account is expressly permitted. That is why every case can be reset individually or entirely, without touching unlocked packs or the account.

You are responsible for everything that happens through your account. Only share access with people you trust with it.

There is no in-game currency and no credit balance. What you get is access to cases: the case of the week and the one before it are free without an account, an account adds every remaining free case plus one sample from each pack, and a purchased pack unlocks its ten cases for good. The sample belongs to the pack and does not count towards those ten.

Questions and hints are not capped inside a case you have access to. We reserve a technical ceiling against automated mass requests.

A pack is a bundle of cases and is bought once. Access to the cases inside is permanent. There is no subscription and no recurring payment.

The purchase contract is not with us but with Stripe. Stripe acts as the seller, issues the invoice, pays the VAT and handles withdrawal and refunds.

Prices include any applicable VAT. The number of cases in a pack is stated in the shop and matches the actual number.

Packs you bought stay accessible. If a case has to be removed for legal or editorial reasons, we replace it or refund pro rata. Section 2b does not apply to packs you have bought.

Keys are free unlocks that we hand out at our discretion. A key is valid for a limited number of redemptions, set on the key itself. It has no cash value, is not paid out, and can be blocked at any time.

On your bank statement the charge appears as LINK.COM followed by a short code, not as ravensays.

As a consumer you generally have a fourteen day right of withdrawal when buying digital content.

It expires early if you expressly agree that performance begins immediately and confirm that you lose your right of withdrawal. That is exactly what happens when a pack is unlocked right after purchase. That confirmation is part of checkout.

How withdrawal works, how refunds are handled and a model withdrawal form are set out on the Refunds and cancellation page.

It is forbidden to submit input that constitutes or incites a criminal offence, in particular threats against people, the glorification or planning of violence, symbols of unconstitutional organisations, and content that sexualises minors.

Also prohibited are attempts to make the narrator output the solution or its internal instructions, as well as automated queries, mass requests and circumventing technical limits.

Systematically extracting, rebuilding or redistributing the case texts and solutions is also prohibited. This applies regardless of whether any individual text is protected by copyright: it is an obligation under these terms.

Inputs are checked before they go to the services involved. Anything stopped never reaches the narrator, does not count against you, and is recorded with a date and account.

For repeated or serious violations we may suspend the account temporarily or permanently. Packs you bought are refunded pro rata on request in that case, unless the violation was intentional.

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, likewise for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act.

For ordinary negligence we are liable only for the breach of an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper performance possible in the first place and on which you may rely. Liability is then limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract.

We may change these terms where there is a valid reason. We announce changes at least four weeks in advance by email, if one is on file, and point out the right to object. If you object, use ends when the change takes effect.

German law applies. Mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected.

We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body.
