Terms of Service

1. Who We Are and What These Terms Are

NameWheel is run by Outline Technologies LLC, 30 N Gould St, Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States ("we", "us"). These terms are an agreement between you and us.

By using the website or the app, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy, which explains what we keep and why. If you do not agree, please do not use NameWheel.

2. Who Can Use NameWheel

• Anyone can use the free wheel, without an account.
• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or buy anything. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should read these terms with you and make any purchase.
• One account per person. Keep your sign in to yourself: you are responsible for what is done with your account.

3. What NameWheel Does

NameWheel is a spinning wheel that picks at random from the entries you give it. A normal spin is picked on your own device.

A certified draw adds proof. Our server commits to a secret number before the spin, your device adds its own randomness, and the result is published with everything needed to check it. How certified draws work.

NameWheel never takes entry fees, holds prizes or pays out winnings. It picks an entry from the list you give it. You run your own draw, you set its rules, and you provide any prizes yourself.

We keep improving NameWheel, so features, limits and prices can change. A price change never affects a period you have already paid for.

4. Your Account

You can sign in with Google, with Apple (in the app), or with a 6 digit code sent to your email.

You can delete your account at any time: on the website in your dashboard under Settings, or in the app under Account, then Delete account. The privacy policy explains what deleting removes and what is kept. On the website, deleting your account also stops a PRO subscription, so you are not charged again. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription bought in the app: cancel that in your iPhone or iPad settings.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, is used for fraud or abuse, or harms other people. A suspended account can still download its data, cancel a subscription, delete itself and write to us.

5. Buying on the Website

• PRO Monthly and PRO Yearly renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Cancel any time in your dashboard under Plan and billing, or by writing to us. PRO stays on until the end of the period you paid for, and you are not charged again.
• Lifetime is paid once and keeps PRO for as long as NameWheel exists.
• The School Year Pass is paid once and runs until 30 June. If you buy it within 45 days of 30 June, it runs until 30 June of the following year. It does not renew.
• Certified spin videos: your first hosted video is free. After that, hosting a video has a one time fee, shown before you pay, unless you have PRO. While you decide, we keep the recording for 3 days, then delete it if it has not been paid for.
• Prices are in US dollars and shown on the pricing page. Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where the law requires it.
• Card payments are processed by Stripe, which acts as the merchant of record. Some payments go through Freemius, which also accepts PayPal. Their own terms apply to the payment itself, and we never see your card number.

Refunds. If PRO or the School Year Pass is not for you, email info@namewheel.org within 14 days of the purchase and we refund it, no questions asked. When we refund a payment, the PRO time it paid for ends. For anything else, write to us and a person will look at it.

6. Buying in the iPhone, iPad and Android Apps

On iPhone and iPad (App Store)

• Purchases in the iPhone and iPad app are made with your Apple Account. Apple charges you, and Apple's own terms for App Store purchases apply to the payment.
• PRO Monthly and PRO Yearly in the app renew automatically unless you turn off automatic renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for the next period within the 24 hours before the current one ends. Manage or cancel in Settings, then your Apple Account, then Subscriptions. After you cancel, PRO stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
• The Full version is a one time purchase that gives you all of the app's wheel features. It is not PRO and it does not renew.
• To bring your purchases to a new iPhone or iPad signed in to the same Apple Account, tap Restore purchases in the app's Account screen.
• Refunds for purchases in the app come only from Apple, at reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot refund App Store charges, so the 14 day website refund above does not apply to them.
• PRO belongs to your NameWheel account. PRO bought in the app also works on the website when you sign in with the same account, and PRO bought on the website works in the app.
• The app is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, together with these terms.

On Android (Google Play)

• Purchases in the Android app are made with your Google Account through Google Play. Google charges you, and Google Play's own terms apply to the payment.
• PRO Monthly and PRO Yearly in the Android app renew automatically until you cancel. Manage or cancel them in Google Play, under Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions. After you cancel, PRO stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
• The Full version is the same one time purchase as on iPhone and iPad. It is not PRO and it does not renew.
• Refunds for purchases in the Android app come from Google, under Google Play's refund policy. We cannot refund Google Play charges, so the 14 day website refund above does not apply to them.
• PRO belongs to your NameWheel account. PRO bought in the Android app also works on the website and in the iPhone app when you sign in with the same account, and PRO bought on the website works in the Android app.
• Deleting your NameWheel account does not cancel a Google Play subscription. Cancel it in Google Play as well (see Delete your account).
• The Android app is licensed to you under these terms.

7. Certified Draws

• Each certified draw gets a public page at namewheel.org/v/ followed by its code. It shows the title, the entries, the winner, the date and the proof, and the video if you recorded one. Anyone with the link can see it.
• Certified draws are permanent records. If you delete your account, the page and the video go offline (unless you choose to leave them public), but the record of the draw is kept.
• Only enter names and titles you are allowed to publish.
• If you run a giveaway, raffle or contest, you are responsible for its rules, its prizes and the laws where you and your entrants live. A certified draw proves which entry the wheel picked; it does not make a giveaway legal.
• Certified draws you run from an AI assistant through the NameWheel MCP server (namewheel.org/mcp) follow these same rules: they are public, permanent records made with your account.
• We may take a draw page offline if it breaks these terms or the law.

8. AI Fill

AI Fill suggests entries for a wheel from a short description you type, using Google's Gemini. The suggestions are written by a computer and can be wrong, repetitive or unsuitable, so check them before you use them. If a suggestion is wrong or offensive, tap Report this list under it in the app, or write to us. How many AI Fills you get depends on your plan.

9. Your Content

The names, wheels and reviews you add are yours. You let us store, show and process them only to run NameWheel for you: to save your wheels, to show a wheel you share and your certified draw pages, and to show a review you post on our site with the name you chose.

A wheel you share can be opened by anyone with its link. Don't put anything illegal or hateful, or private details about other people, where it becomes public. We may remove content that breaks these terms.

10. Things You Shouldn't Do

Please don't use NameWheel to:

• Break any law where you are
• Harass, bully or target people through a wheel, a shared wheel or a draw page
• Run a lottery, paid raffle or gambling game: any draw where people pay, or buy something, to enter or to get a better chance of winning, unless the law allows it (for example a licensed charity raffle) and you follow that law
• Try to change, fake or predict the result of a certified draw
• Get around limits or payments, for example with many free accounts
• Overload, hack, reverse engineer or disrupt the site, the app or our servers
• Scrape or crawl the site in a way that slows it down for other people
• Pretend to be NameWheel, or suggest a link with us that doesn't exist
• Use the embed feature to make NameWheel look like your own product

Normal use of a name picker is always fine. Using the wheel to decide who buys the next round is encouraged. Using it to decide who gets laid off is not.

11. Intellectual Property

The NameWheel name, logo, design, code and original content belong to Outline Technologies LLC. TrueSpin™ is a trademark of Outline Technologies LLC.

You can:

• Use the wheel for personal, school or business purposes
• Embed the wheel on your website with our embed code
• Link to NameWheel from anywhere
• Take screenshots and recordings of the wheel for your own content

You can't:

• Copy or redistribute our code or design
• Remove our branding from embedded wheels
• Use our name or logo to suggest we endorse you
• Resell NameWheel or PRO access

12. Other Companies and Links

NameWheel works with other companies, such as Apple, Google, Stripe and Freemius, and their own terms apply when you use them through NameWheel. We also link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or how they work.

13. Availability and Disclaimers

We work to keep NameWheel running, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of bugs. To the extent the law allows, NameWheel is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind.

We are not responsible for decisions you make based on a spin, or for arguments between people about a result. The wheel is random, not psychic.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the extent the law allows, Outline Technologies LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages that come from using NameWheel or from not being able to use it. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for NameWheel in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be waived.

15. Indemnification

If your use of NameWheel breaks these terms or the law, for example in a giveaway you ran, you agree to cover Outline Technologies LLC for the claims, losses and costs that result, including reasonable legal fees.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we change the "Last updated" date at the top. For an important change, we tell account holders by email or with a notice on the site or in the app before it applies. If you keep using NameWheel after a change, you accept the new terms. If you don't agree, you can stop using NameWheel and delete your account.

17. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States. If there is a dispute, we will first try to solve it together, informally. If that doesn't work, it will be settled by binding arbitration, except where the law where you live gives you the right to go to court.

18. Severability

If a part of these terms can't be enforced, only that part is dropped and the rest still applies. Think of it like taking one name off the wheel: the rest keeps spinning.
