Críptico Club Terms of Service

Last updated: November 4, 2026 · Version: 2026-11-04-v2 Service: Críptico Club, a Discord Activity
Language: English · Español
Privacy Policy: Read

1. Provider and contact details

Críptico Club is operated by Antonio Pérez Serrano, an individual using the trading name Zerep Games, which does not constitute a separate legal entity.

Address supplied by the provider: Calle Licenciado Cascales, 30260, Murcia, Spain.

Support, complaints and service-related requests: zerep.a.p.s@gmail.com. Please use the subject line “Support CripticoClub” where possible.

Before undertaking paid economic activity, the provider must verify applicable identification, tax, registration and social security obligations.

2. Service, eligibility and acceptance

Críptico Club is a Spanish- and English-language cryptic puzzle game aimed at Discord users in territories where the Activity is available. Access is not limited to a fixed list of Spanish- or English-speaking countries, and availability may vary by country, platform, Discord's own requirements and applicable law.

You must have a valid Discord account and comply with Discord's applicable rules.

Before playing, you must expressly accept the current version of these Terms. The game records the authenticated account, version and date of acceptance. A further acceptance may be required following material changes where the law requires it. Accepting the Terms does not constitute consent to unrelated optional processing of personal data.

3. Gameplay

The game offers daily cryptic puzzles in Spanish and English, with a history of available challenges. Players enter solutions letter by letter and may request definition, indicator, filler or revealed-letter hints. Wrong answers and hints may reduce the score awarded; current costs and limits appear in the interface.

The service keeps XP, game history, streaks and global or server-level leaderboards over available ranking periods. Playing historical puzzles in practice mode does not award competitive XP or change rankings or streaks.

We may correct editorial errors or adjust technical rules to maintain fairness, while respecting purchased entitlements.

4. Free service

Críptico Club is free to play, including current puzzles, leaderboards and the available history for the preceding five days. Each hint category has four weekly uses, subject to the XP penalties shown in the game.

Premium, where available for your Discord account, includes access to the full available puzzle archive and unlimited hints, as described in the interface. Premium is not required for today's challenge or for the preceding five days of available history.

5. Purchases and payments

Premium, where available, is subscribed to and managed through Discord, not a Críptico Club payment gateway. The applicable price, currency, taxes, billing frequency, renewal conditions and other purchase information are shown before confirming payment in Discord. Críptico Club does not request or store full payment card numbers.

The subscription renews or ends according to the conditions displayed by Discord at purchase. You can review, manage or cancel it using Discord's subscription controls. Cancelling does not necessarily end access before the paid period expires; Premium access is verified against subscription entitlements provided by Discord. Deleting your Críptico Club account does not automatically cancel a Discord-managed subscription. Refund requests and mandatory consumer rights remain subject to applicable law and the terms of the relevant transaction.

6. Fair play and misuse

Cheating, score or ranking manipulation, unlawful access to data or accounts, attacks, harassment, impersonation, abusive automation, copyright infringement and violations of Discord rules are prohibited.

Zerep Games reserves the right to take proportionate protective or access-restricting measures against serious misuse, if such measures are technically available and permitted by law. No automatic banning system is currently deployed. Any complaint about account access can be sent to the support email in section 1.

7. Voluntary puzzle submissions

Puzzle submissions are voluntary, unpaid and do not earn XP or prizes, even when approved or published. They take place outside the Activity, through private submission tickets in the official Críptico Club Discord server, managed through the Tickets Tools bot. The Activity has no submission form or submission-status history. Joining the server is not required to play, and Discord's terms and community rules also apply.

The public workshop channel may be used to discuss techniques, clues and ideas, without revealing solutions intended for future daily challenges. To request editorial review, users open a private ticket and provide the clue, answer, explanation, language and requested editorial information. Ticket access must be restricted to the submitting user, authorized staff and necessary technical providers, subject to the effective Discord configuration and permissions.

Before a submission can be selected or published, the contributor must expressly and verifiably accept the license in section 8 and the AI-related condition in section 9. Merely opening or closing a ticket is not, by itself, proof of acceptance. Without recorded acceptance, a submission will not be published or reused under that license. Under the current ticket configuration, one ticket may be open per user at a time; closing a ticket permits a new one without implying approval. No separate daily submission quota within the Activity is advertised.

Editors may accept, reject, revise or request clarification. Acceptance does not guarantee publication or a particular date. Replies may be communicated in the ticket while it is available; later notifications are not guaranteed after it is closed. Scheduled publication dates are not disclosed in advance. No in-Activity submission status or notification feature is promised.

The intended editorial retention targets are 90 days for pending submissions, 30 days after rejection and up to 12 months after approval for approved but unpublished submissions. Published work may be retained throughout a valid license. Automatic cleanup of Discord tickets and editorial copies has not been verified as operational. Discord and the ticket bot may also retain messages, attachments and metadata under their own arrangements; deleting an in-game account does not automatically erase those records. Requests regarding personal data can be made through support and the Privacy Policy.

8. Contributor license and attribution

By expressly accepting the contribution conditions in the private ticket, the contributor confirms that they hold the necessary rights and grants Antonio Pérez Serrano/Zerep Games a free-of-charge, non-exclusive, worldwide license to receive, store, review, correct, adapt and translate the submitted work and, if selected, reproduce and make it publicly available through Críptico Club, its archives, official sites, social channels and promotional materials. Copyright ownership remains with the rights holder.

Duration: for published content, ten (10) years from first publication. The license includes an advance agreement to successive five (5)-year renewals unless the author validly objects before the next period begins. The provider will attempt to give 90 days' advance notice through available Discord communication channels or other enabled means, where possible and permitted. If the Discord account no longer exists or the contributor does not reply, the previously agreed renewal may continue only to the extent permitted by the agreement and applicable law; silence is not treated as a fresh authorization. Objections can be submitted to support with proportionate verification of authorship. Moral rights and other non-waivable legal rights remain unaffected.

Attribution: by default, the game uses the contributor's Discord username at the time of submission, rather than the profile display name. A contributor may request anonymity in the ticket before editorial acceptance. Published attribution remains a fixed snapshot even if the Discord username changes. Statutory correction and erasure requests will be handled under the Privacy Policy. Deleting an in-game account does not itself erase Discord tickets; retained editorial copies will be handled under the Privacy Policy; previously distributed copies on external platforms may remain beyond our control.

Editorial date: a selected submission may be assigned a specific UTC day and language without advance disclosure. Editorial corrections or justified replacements may occur. A published submission cannot be withdrawn solely on a change of preference, without prejudice to non-waivable statutory rights.

Expressly accepting the contribution license in the private ticket includes contractual authorization to use the text of the cryptic clue for AI-assisted editorial analysis and, if a compatible function is explicitly enabled in the future and the necessary legal, contractual and technical safeguards have been verified, for model training or improvement. Agreeing to this condition is required only to submit puzzles; playing without contributing does not require granting any training license. Anyone who does not agree can still play without submitting.

No user submissions are currently used for model training. OpenAI is the intended provider for future editorial assistance. OpenAI API customer inputs are not used for model training by default.

Before any provider integration is used, we will review clue text to detect and remove personal data that may have been included in the submitted text. We do not intend to send Discord identifiers, usernames, avatars, answers, explanations or account data to the AI provider.

An intellectual-property license does not waive personal-data rights. Personal information appearing within a clue may only be processed where an appropriate legal basis and safeguards apply; a cryptic clue must not be assumed anonymous without review.

10. Availability, changes and liability

The service may be interrupted by maintenance, outages or third-party problems. Features and content may be modified with appropriate notice when necessary, in accordance with applicable law. The current infrastructure runs on a Contabo VPS with Nginx and public access through Cloudflare; see the Privacy Policy for details of data processing by these providers.

The game does not guarantee winning, a specific score or uninterrupted availability. We do not send direct promotional messages to users, although operational notices may appear within the Activity.

Any limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by law and does not restrict non-waivable consumer rights.

11. Law and complaints

Spanish law applies to the extent permitted, without overriding mandatory consumer protection laws that apply to users elsewhere. For support, complaints or copyright inquiries, contact zerep.a.p.s@gmail.com, subject “Support CripticoClub”.
