Agreement

Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing or using The Winner Wheel, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the website.

These Terms apply to the website, wheel tool, customization features, and other services or content made available through The Winner Wheel.

You must be legally able to enter into these Terms. A parent, guardian, teacher, employer, or other responsible adult should supervise use when appropriate.

Permitted use

How you may use the wheel

The Winner Wheel is a free, general-purpose tool intended for entertainment, classroom activities, games, brainstorming, informal selections, event participation, and similar lawful uses.

You may use the website for personal, educational, or ordinary business purposes, provided that your use complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.

The Winner Wheel does not currently provide user accounts, paid subscriptions, official sweepstakes administration, or verification of contest eligibility, entries, odds, or winners.

Your content

Entries, images, and audio

You are responsible for the names, words, phrases, images, audio, and other content you enter, upload, display, or use with the website.

You must have the necessary rights and permissions to use that content. Do not upload or use content that infringes copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other rights.

Avoid entering passwords, financial information, medical information, private student information, confidential business information, or other sensitive personal data into the wheel.

The website may process entries and uploaded customization files locally in your browser. You remain responsible for protecting, backing up, and removing content stored on your device.

Prohibited conduct

Unlawful or harmful use is not allowed

You may not use The Winner Wheel to:

  • violate any law, regulation, court order, or legal right;
  • harass, threaten, exploit, impersonate, defame, or harm another person;
  • upload malicious code, viruses, or files intended to damage or disrupt systems;
  • attempt to bypass security controls or gain unauthorized access;
  • interfere with the website, hosting, advertising, analytics, or other services;
  • scrape, overload, or automate requests in a way that harms website availability;
  • misrepresent a wheel result as officially verified, certified, or administered by us;
  • conduct illegal gambling, deceptive prize promotions, or unlawful contests; or
  • use the website in a manner that violates an advertising or third-party service policy.

Important limitation

Do not rely on the wheel for high-stakes decisions

The Winner Wheel is provided for entertainment and general selection purposes. A displayed result is not professional advice, an official determination, or a substitute for appropriate human review.

Do not use the wheel as the sole or controlling method for decisions involving safety, emergencies, employment, hiring, termination, promotions, credit, lending, insurance, housing, education admissions, healthcare, medical treatment, legal rights, government benefits, access to essential services, or other decisions that may significantly affect a person.

Do not rely on the website alone to administer a sweepstakes, lottery, raffle, giveaway, promotion, or other regulated contest. Organizers are responsible for official rules, eligibility requirements, disclosures, required registrations or bonds, alternative methods of entry, winner verification, tax obligations, and compliance with applicable laws.

Results

No guarantee of fairness or suitability

We aim to provide a useful random-selection experience, but we do not guarantee that any result is statistically random, unbiased, error-free, tamper-proof, independently auditable, or suitable for a particular use.

Results may be affected by browser behavior, device performance, software defects, configuration choices, duplicate entries, user input, altered code, connectivity, or other technical factors.

You are responsible for reviewing the entries, settings, process, and result before acting on it. You should use additional safeguards or an independently verified method whenever fairness, compliance, money, safety, or legal rights are involved.

Ownership

Intellectual property

The Winner Wheel website, brand, design, interface, software, graphics, text, and original content are owned by The Winner Wheel or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

These Terms give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the website for its intended purposes. They do not transfer ownership of the website or our intellectual property.

You retain any rights you already hold in content you enter or upload. You do not grant us ownership merely by using content locally with the wheel.

You may not copy, sell, sublicense, distribute, reverse engineer, publicly represent as your own, or create a competing service from protected portions of the website except where permitted by law or authorized in writing.

External services

Third-party links and advertisements

The website may display advertisements or include links to third-party websites, products, services, or content.

Third parties operate independently and may have their own terms, privacy practices, security standards, and content policies. We do not control or endorse every third-party offering and are not responsible for its availability, accuracy, safety, or conduct.

Your interactions with advertisers or other third parties are between you and that third party. Review their terms and policies before providing information, making a purchase, or relying on their services.

Availability

Service changes and interruptions

We may modify, add, remove, suspend, restrict, or discontinue website features at any time. Features may change as the product develops.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, compatible with every browser or device, or free from errors.

Browser storage may be cleared, unavailable, or lost. Keep a separate copy of important entry lists, images, audio, or settings.

Disclaimer

Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Winner Wheel is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, availability, security, and freedom from harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

Liability

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Winner Wheel and its owner, operators, affiliates, service providers, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, business, opportunities, or other intangible losses.

This limitation applies to claims arising from or related to your use of, inability to use, or reliance on the website; wheel results; lost browser data; user content; third-party advertisements or links; or unauthorized access, errors, interruptions, or security incidents.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims related to the website will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid directly to us for the website during the twelve months before the claim or $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Your responsibility

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Winner Wheel and its owner, operators, affiliates, service providers, and licensors from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable costs arising from:

  • your misuse of the website;
  • content you enter, upload, display, or distribute;
  • your violation of these Terms or applicable law;
  • your infringement of another person’s rights; or
  • a contest, promotion, selection, or decision you organize using the website.

Enforcement

Termination or restricted access

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the website when we reasonably believe a user has violated these Terms, created a security or legal risk, disrupted the service, or harmed another person.

You may stop using the website at any time. Sections that by their nature should continue after access ends—including ownership, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, and governing law—will remain in effect.

Applicable law

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be handled in a court with lawful jurisdiction in Texas, unless applicable consumer law requires a different location or procedure.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived under the laws that apply to you.

General provisions

How these Terms operate

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the current agreement between you and The Winner Wheel regarding the website.

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written permission. We may assign these Terms as part of a reorganization, transfer, or sale of the website or business.

Updates

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms when website features, business practices, service providers, or legal requirements change.

The revised Terms will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the website after revised Terms take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

Material changes may also be communicated through the website when reasonably appropriate.
