Terms of service

Last updated 4 November 2026.

Give it a Go is run by Jonathan Moses, doing business as Give it a Go. By using the website or the apps you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy.

Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you need a parent's or guardian's permission, and they agree to these terms for you.

Your account

One person per account. Keep your sign-in to yourself; you are responsible for what happens on your account. Choose a display name that does not impersonate anyone and is not offensive. You can play as a guest without an account.

Fair play and behaviour

No help from engines, other people or other tools during a game against a person. No manipulating ratings or tournaments (for example, losing on purpose or playing your own second account). No harassment, hate, threats, spam or sexual content in chat, names or pictures. No scraping, overloading, attacking or getting around the limits of the service. We may warn, mute, adjust or remove ratings and results, suspend or close accounts that break these rules, at our discretion.

Reporting and blocking

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. You can report a chat message from the game or tournament chat it was sent in, and report a player from their page. You can block a player from their page or from one of their chat messages: you no longer see their messages, and neither of you can challenge the other, ask the other to be friends or be matched with the other. We review reports within 24 hours, and remove what breaks these rules and suspend or close the accounts that sent it. Your blocked players are listed on your profile, where you can unblock them.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you post: chat messages, your picture, your name. You give us a worldwide, free licence to store, show and copy it as needed to run Give it a Go. Game records (the moves of a game) are shown publicly and stay in the record after an account is closed, because they belong to both players' histories.

Membership

Playing is free. You can join on this site or in the app, and where you join decides who you pay and how you cancel.

On this site. Membership costs $8 a month or $60 a year, paid through Stripe. A first subscription starts with 7 days free; you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. Membership renews automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from the Membership page, and it lasts to the end of the period you paid for. Payments are not refunded for partly used periods, except where the law requires it. If a price changes, we tell members at least 30 days before it applies to them.

In the app. Membership is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, bought from the App Store or Google Play at the price the store shows you before you buy. The store takes the payment, and its own terms apply to the purchase. A free trial, where the store offers one, ends with the first charge unless you cancel before then. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You cancel it and ask for refunds in the store's subscription settings, not with us, and deleting your account does not cancel it.

Puzzles, bots and analysis

Some puzzle collections come from other sources under their own licences, credited on their pages (for example Sensei's Library). The bots, the review coach and their suggestions are for learning and come with no guarantee of being right.

No warranty

Give it a Go is provided as it is and as available. We work to keep it running and your games safe, but a game can be interrupted or lost, and ratings and results can be corrected. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the larger of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50.

Ending

You can stop using Give it a Go at any time, and ask us to delete your account (see the privacy policy). We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or stop offering the service; if we stop it, members who paid on this site get a pro-rated refund of any period paid and not yet used, and members who subscribed in the app ask the store for theirs.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts in Salt Lake County, Utah, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. If you live somewhere whose law gives you rights these terms cannot take away, you keep those rights.

Changes

We may change these terms. We post the new version here with its date and announce important changes on the site before they take effect. Using Give it a Go after that means you accept them.
